Objective To explore the clinical characteristics of primary central nervous system malignant lymphoma (PCNSML). Methods The clinical data of 22 cases of PCNSML were analyzed retrospectively.Results The patients in our study mainly presented with headache (16 cases), vomiting (11 cases), weakness of extremities (5 cases) and numbness (1 case). The tumors were supratentorial in 19cases, infratentorial in 3 cases and multiple in 5 cases. CT scan showed same density or high-density lesions with surrounding mild edema. Brain MRI demonstrated slight-hypointense lesion of 9 cases and isointense lesion of 5 cases on T1-weighted imaging. On the T2-weighted imaging, the lesions were slight-hyperintense in 11 cases and isointense in 3 cases. Enhanced scanning showed that the lesions were contrasted evenly and obviously on CT and MRI. Misdiagnosis was given preoperatively in 17 patients. The pathological examination revealed B cell malignant lymphoma in all cases. In 18 cases of follow-up, 5 patients with multiple lesions who only received stereotactic biopsy all died within 6 months, the mean survival time of 6 patients who were treated with total resection of the tumors and radiotherapy was 27 months, 4 patients treated with partial resection and ?-radiotherapy was 21 months, 4 patients treated with partial resection and radiotherapy was 10 months. The patient who was treated with only total resection of the tumor died in 11 months because of recurrent. Two patients with only partial resection died in 5 and 8 months, respectively.Conclusions There are no specific clinical manifestations of PCNSML and the disease is often misdiagnosed preoperatively. Although certain characteristic performance may be found on CT and MRI scans, the final diagnosis of this disease depends on pathological examination. Comprehensive treatments may prolong the survival time of the patients.

Objective To discuss the effect of microsurgery of intracranial arachnoid cyst. Methods 42 cases of intracranial arachnoid cyst treated with microsurgery were studied retrospectively.Results Total resection was performed in 23 cases and partial resection in 14 cases. 5 cases received partial resection and communication between cystic cavity and brain cistern. CT scans of 29 cases after operation showed completely obliteration or marked diminution in cystic size. The symptoms and signs of all the patients were improved significantly after a 1-year follow-up.Conclusion The effect of microsurgery of intracranial arachnoid cysts is satisfactory. It is important to communicate cystic cavity with subarachnoid space or brain cistern.

[Abstract ] Objective At present, few studies are reported on procalciton (PCT) and endotoxin (ET) in the diagnosis of urosepsis after percutaneous nephrolithotomy ( PCNL) .The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical value of the detection of serum procalcitonin and endotoxin in the early diagnosis of urosepsis after PCNL . Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data about 427 cases of upper urinary tract stones treated by PCNL , among which urosepsis developed postoperatively in 49 ( the urosepsis group ) and the other 378 non-urosepsis cases served as controls .At 1 day and 2 hours before PCNL , we detected the levels of serum ET and PCT and analyzed the PCT and ET levels and the results of combined detection in the two groups of patients using the ROC curve. Results At 2 hours before surgery , both the levels of PCT and ET were significantly higher in the urosepsis group than in the non-urosepsis controls ([ 5.18 ±4.43 ] vs [ 1.38 ±1.01 ] ng/mL, P<0.01;[50.91 ±35.45] vs [17.86 ±10.78] pg/mL, P<0.01).ROC curve analyses manifested that the areas under the curve (AUC) of PCT and ET were 0.841 ±0.038 and 0.786 ± 0.043, their sensitivities were 79.6%and 71.4%, and their specificities were 78.0%and 70.1%, respectively.The combined de-tection showed the AUC, sensitivity, and specificity to be 0.915 ±0.029, 85.7%, and 86.5%, respectively, all significantly higher than either PCT or ET detection alone (P<0.01). Conclusion The combined detection of PCT and ET can significantly increase the sensitivity and specificity of early diagnosis of urosepsis after PCNL and is superior to either PCT or ET detection alone .

BACKGROUND: The water molecules and biological macromolecules in human tissue may combine to form hydrate composite. Different types of macromolecules show different approaches to combine with water molecules. OBJECTIVE: To discuss the basic form of water molecules combined with biological macromolecules. METHODS: The theoretical hypothesis of texture composite hydration system was proposed. The relevant literatures were retrieved through the computer to discuss these issues. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: According to the role of water in the hydrate composite, the composite ways can be divided into the following 4 groups. ①Surfaca composite: Hydrated membrane layers can form on the surface of globular protein or DNA molecules. The hydrated membrane layer shows that the speed of water molecular and hydrate density were reduced gradually from surface to inside. The hydrated layer makes the shape and physical state of the macromolecules stabilized, and it plays important role in forming of TCHS.②Swelling composite: As a result of the strong hydration of glycosaminoglycans, the hydrated proteoglycan often swells and shows high viscosity and hydrogel character. The hydrated proteoglycan play some mechanicalroles in connective tissue. For example, it can make the cartilage have a strong deformation-resistibility.③Hydrophobic composite: Hydr0phobic effect drives structural rearrangement, including the formation of bilayers (Bio-membrane). This hydrophilic-hydrophobic-hydrophilic "sandwich" structure is conducive to the self-stability in mechanics, combination with membrane protein and transmembrane transport. ④Slit composite: A lot of slit spaces with nano scale were existing inside and outside of the cells. Aqueous solution in the slit spaces shows some abnormal characters such as higher viscosity and lower ice point, because of the rearrangement of water molecules. Slit composite and surface composite have some universality, and it can be regarded the former as a special case of the latter. The classification way mentioned above has not any absolute connotations. However, the rational utilization of these hydration composite ways will be conducive to research the theory on textural composite hydrate system.

Aim To study the characteristics of the binding reaction of Troxetutin with bovine serum albumin (BSA) by fluorescence and ultra violet-visible absorption spectra.Methods The quenching mechanism of the fluorescence of BSA by troxerutin was studied with fluorescence.To determine the dynamic quenching constants and static binding constants,the Stern-Volmer equation and the double reciprocal Lineweaver-Burk equation were applied. The number of binding site was calculated with double logarithmic equation and the main binding force was discussed by thermodynamic equations. The binding distance and energy transfer efficiency between donor (BSA) and acceptor (troxerutin) were obtained effectively quenched fluorescence of BSA via static quenching processes. The binding constant Ka was calculated to be in the order of 106,indicating a strong interaction between Troxerutin and BSA. The number of binding site was approximately equal to 1,the binding distance was 1.97 nm,the energy transfer efficiency was 0.529,and the binding force was mainly hydrophobic force.Conclusion Troxerutin effectively quenchs the intrinsic fluorescence of BSA via static quenching mechanism,and the binding is mainly driven by the hydrophobic interaction.

A new kind of medical sponges,ionic polyvinyl alcohol sponges(i-PVA sponges)were prepared by surface-grafting of acrylic acid onto acetal-PVA sponges.i-PVA sponges obtained show excellent hydrophilicity and water-absorption.The i-PVA sponges are three dimentional porous network.Because there are great amount of carboxyl and sodium carboxylate groups on PVA molecule chains,the speed of water absorption and water-absorptivity is >2.9mm/s and >15 times respectively.That is,in the case of the cataract-extraction,the polyion-modified sponges much more advantageous than any traditional nonionic polymer sponges.

Two types of catheter made of polymeric hydrogel were prepared and their mechanical properties were studied. The results showed PVA hydrogel catheter was prepared by repeated freezing-thawing cycles of PVA solution in mould. Another type of catheter (PVA-DMSO - hydrogel ) was prepared by cooling the PVA solution containing 10%wt DMSO in mould. The tensile strength (30~40MPa)and elongation(380 %~400%) of these two types of catheter were comparable with those of commercial PVC catheter and silicone rubber catheter. But the elastic modulus of PVA-DMSO hydrogel catheter was 10MPa,near to silicone rubber catheter and that of PVA hydrogel catheter was only 4MPa. γ-ray irradiation for sterile made 40%~50% loss of tensile strength for both catheter. Dipping in hibitane aqueous solution didn\'t affect mechanical properties.The obvious difference in mechanical properties was due to the difference in the orientation of PVA molecule chain and crystalline structure.

Objective:To explore the pathogenesis and treatment of severe hematuria after sexual activity in men.Methods:A retrospective analysis of 10 patients with severe hematuria after sexual activity who were admitted from January 2017 to January 2020, including 4 cases from Peking University People’s Hospital, 3 cases from Donghua Hospital Affiliated to Sun Yat-sen University, 2 cases from Second Hospital of Tianjin Medical University, and 1 case from Tianjin Jinnan Hospital. The average age of the patients was (33.5±7.6) years old. All 10 cases had severe hematuria and blood clots within 1 hour after sexual activity. The blood routine examination revealed that there were different degrees of hemorrhagic anemia after 24 hours of admission, and the average hemoglobin was(95.8±8.9)g/L. Ten patients underwent transurethral cystoscopy electrosurgical resection and / or electrocoagulation under subarachnoid anesthesia or epidural anesthesia. All patients were confirmed to be bleeding from posterior urethral lesions, including 4 cases located in the distal seminal caruncle, 5 cases in the prostate, and 1 case in proximal seminal caruncle. Three cases whose bleeding from varicose veins in the prostate urethra were treated with electrocoagulation in order to stop the bleeding, and lesions were removed in the other 7 cases for pathological examination. The F16 urinary catheter was indwelt after the operation.Results:All 10 operations in this group were successfully completed. Six cases of posterior urethral hemangioma rupture and 1 case of posterior urethral polyp were confirmed by the pathological examination in 7 cases. The urinary catheter was successfully removed 1 week after operation. Abstinence was required for 1 month after operation. There was no recurrence of hematuria after resuming sexual activity, and no complications such as dysuria or urinary incontinence.Conclusion:Severe hematuria after sexual activity is mostly caused by rupture or bleeding of abnormal blood vessels in the posterior urethra. Transurethral resection and/or electrocoagulation are the first choice for treatment. The effect is reliable and the prognosis is satisfactory.

Objective:To explore the effect of atlantoaxial fusion on the growth and development of children′s cervical spine.Methods:The clinical data of 12 children with atlantoaxial dislocation who underwent posterior atlantoaxial fusion at Department of Orthopaedics,the 909th Hospital of Joint Logistics Support Force of Chinese People's Liberation Army from June 2002 to September 2013 were retrospective analyzed. There were 7 males and 5 females,with age of (8.1±3.1)years (range:3 to 13 years).Nine cases were traumatic and 3 cases were congenital malformations,1 of the children had Down syndrome. All children underwent posterior atlantoaxial fusion. Furthermore,the information of the height and anteroposterior width of the cervical vertebral bodies and vertical growth rate of the fusion mass were collected from all patients immediately postoperatively and during the follow-up.The range of motion in cervical spine were collected preoperatively and during follow-up period. Data were compared using independent sample t test, paired sample t test and repeated-measurement. Results:All 12 children had regular follow-up within (122.4±25.3)months(range:65 to 163 months). The height and anteroposterior width of the cervical vertebral bodies were similar to these results with those in published reports of growth in normal children of the same age(all P<0.01). At the last follow-up,atlantoaxial fusion of 11 cases had substantial growth (vertical growth rate of the fusion mass:11 cases ≥10%, 1 case <10%);the range of motion in cervical spine was close to the normal level (flexion(55.2±5.0)°,extension (65.3±4.9)°,left bending (41.7±4.5)°,right bending (42.4±4.4)°,left rotation (66.4±5.6)°,right rotation (68.5±5.8)°). Conclusions:Atlantoaxial fusion surgery is satisfactory in the treatment of pediatric atlantoaxial dislocation.During the follow-up,the growth and development of the cervical spine is close to that of normal children of the same age.In long-term observation,it has been found that the operation has no negative effect on the growth and development of the children′s cervical spine.
