Objective To study the etiology,prophylaxis,and management of complications after transurethral prostatectomy. Methods Clinical data of 73 patients with benigh prostatic hyperplasia(BPH) undergoing transurethral resection of prostate(TURP) or transurethral vaporization of prostate(TUVP) in this hospital from August 2002 to August 2005 were reviewed.Complications occurred in 14 patients,including severe bleeding in bladder in 2 patients,postoperative urinary retention in 5 patients,urethral stricture in 2 patients,urinary incontinence in 2 patients,TURP syndrome due to the perforation of the prostatic membrane in 2 patients,and lower-extremity deep venous thrombosis in 1 patient. Results A conversion to open surgery was required in 1 patient with severe bleeding in bladder and no re-bleeding happened.In another patient with severe bleeding in bladder,a trilumen single balloon catheter was intriduced into the bladder for continuous bladder irrigation with normal saline or iced normal saline,in association with medical therapy,to obtain a full recovery of voiding function without re-bleeding.Among 5 patients with urinary retention after operation,a re-operation of TURP was conducted in 2 patients and a dilatation of the urethra in association with oral symptomatic medication was carried out in 3 patient.No recurrence of urinary retention was noted and a re-examination of the maximum flow values(Qmax) at 1~3 months after operation revealed more than 15 ml/s.The voiding function recovered well in 2 patients with urethral stricture after periodic dilatation of the urethra.Permanent cystostomy was performed in 2 patients with urinary incontinence.In 2 patients with TURP syndrome,the operation was terminated immediately and active symptomatic treatment was conducted.The two patients experienced stable vital signs and a good recovery of voiding function.The patient with lower-extremity deep venous thrombosis was cured 2 weeks later. Conclusions Urinary retention and urethral stricture are common complications following transurethral resection of prostate.Careful selection of patients,strict adherence to technique,and timely and proper management of complications are considered essential to improve results.

Objective To explore if the tumor cell can up-regulate the proliferation of CD4+CD25+ Treg cells. Methods Lymphoma cell EL-4 supernatant was combined with the normal mise spleen lymphocyte. After cultured 72 hours, CD4+CD25+ subset were analyzed by flow cytometry and the gene expression level of the specific marker Foxp3 were tested by RT-PCR. The experiment repeated three times. Results The supematant derived from EL-4 can increase the proportion of CD4+CD25+ Treg cells in normal mouse spleen lymphocytes than that of the control group. Moreover, when added the CD3 McAb with EL-4 supematant together, the number of CD4+CD25+ Treg cells increased. The level of corresponding Foxp3 mRNA also increased. Conclusion These data suggested that in the supernatant may occur immune regulatory factors which up-regulated the number of CD4+CD25+ Treg cells and indicated that the tumorigenesis can facilitate proliferation of CD4+CD25+ Treg cells.

Polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid is a synthetic analog of double-stranded RNA,which plays a vital role in the regulation of immune system.Toll-like receptor 3 ( TLR3 ),melanoma differentiation-associated gene 5 (MAD-5) and retinoic acid inducible gene - Ⅰ ( RIG- Ⅰ ) are the main three intracellular receptors binding to polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid which activates human anti-tumor immune responses including the activation of innate immunity and acquired immunity through TIR-domain-containing adapter-inducing inter feron-β (TRIF) and interferon-β.Thus,polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid plays an important role in regulating anti-tumor immune responses.The immunoregulation mechanisms ofpolyinosinic-polycytidylic acid in melanoma,breast cancer,malignant glioma and lung cancer have been clarified,which will provide new strategies for tumor immunotherapy.

According to the best corrected visual acuity and the morphological changes of the macular fovea,responses to the neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) who receive anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapy show large variability,including poor and non-responders.Various factors will be reviewed to account for poor and non-response to anti-VEGF therapy,such as the related susceptibility genes,factors related with the development of choroidal neovascularization and morphologic parameters,pharmacokinetics and tachyphylaxis.The future research should focus on comprehensive assessment of factors affecting the efficacy of anti-VEGF therapy to improve the therapeutic outcome of nAMD.

Background Macular edema is one of the serious complications of central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO),and the present therapies are laser coagulation and intravitreal injection of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)drugs.Conbercept is humanized-monoclonal VEGF antibody and used for the treatment of retinal vascular diseases.However,fewer studies were focused on its application in macular edema secondary to CRVO.Objective The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness and safety of conbercept with triamcinolone acetonide(TA)by intravitreal injections for macular edema secondary to CRVO. Methods A non-randomized controlled study was carried out under the approval of the informed consent of patients.Sixty eyes of 60 patients with macular edema secondary to CRVO were included in Weifang Yidu Central Hospital from March 2012 to August 2013.The eyes were divided into the conbercept group and TA group with 30 for each group.Conbercept and TA of 0.05 ml were intravitreally injected in different groups,and the best corrected visual acuity(BCVA),central macular thickness(CMT)measured by OCT,intraocular pressure(IOP)and relavant complications were examined before injection and 1 week,1 month,3 months and 6 months after injection.The treatment outcomes were compared intergrouply and along with time. Results The BCVA was evidently better in 1 week,1 month,3 months and 6 months after injection than that before injection both in conbercept group and TA group(all at P＜0.01),and the BCVA of TA group was better than that of conbercept group 1 week after injection(P＜0.05).The CMT values of Conbercept were(572.00± 100.01),(325.12±91.55),(280.00±92.37),(258.65 ±88.65),(300.00±87.64)μm,and those of TA group were(570.00± 102.21),(345.12±89.31),(290.00±80.27),(309.65 ±84.13)and(303.00±90.59)μm,and CMT value after injection was significantly lower in 1 week,1 month,3 months and 6 months after injection than that before injection both in the conbercept group and the TA group(all at P＜0.05),and CMT value was evidently reduced in the conbercept group compared with the TA group 3 months after injection(P＜0.05).The IOP was(15.20±3.52),(21.20±3.80),(26.40±4.00),(23.60±3.73)and(21.50±3.27)mmHg in the TA group before injection and 1 week,1 month,3 months and 6 months after injection,showing significnatly elavation after injection(all at P＜0.05),and the IOP at different time points was higher in the TA group than that in the conbercept group(all at P＜0.05).However,there was no considerable change of IOP before and after injection in conbercept group(all at P＜0.05). Conelutions Both conbercept and TA are effective for macular edema secondary to CRVO by intravtreal injection.Compared with TA,conbercept is much safer because of less risk of IOP rising after intravtreal injection.

Objective:The human parental brain is a discrete set of interacting brain circuits that related with child-care feelings and behaviors.The research on it can help us to understand the essence of human parent-child re-lationship formation.In order to provide materials for the research of human parental brain and related fields,the study is ready to establish a set of standardized Chinese Infant Affective Face Picture System.Methods:By using convenience sampling,a total of 360 infant facial expression pictures of 211 Chinese infants aged from 3 to 6 months were collected.After standard processing on the photos,196 unmarried and nulliparous college students re-cruited from two universities in Chongqing and Guiyang were asked to assess them.One hundred subjects assessed the emotion categories and intensity of the pictures,and other 96 subjects assessed the emotion valence,arousal and dominance of the selected pictures.Results:The Chinese Infant Affective Face Picture System,containing 117 hap-py,92 neutral,108 sad expression pictures,was established.At the same time,the corresponding average identifica-tion rate were 89%,77%,92%,the intensity were 5.83,5.15,and 6.19,the valence were 5.92,4.55 and 2.70,the arousal were 5.11,4.18,3.77,and the dominance were 5.02,4.93,and 4.91.The system could effectively stimu-late participants'emotional reactions.There were statistically significant differences in scores of the established va-lence,arousal and dominance index between the 3 kinds of expression pictures (Ps <0.01).Conclusion:The Chi-nese Infant Affective Face Picture System has higher reliability and validity.The system could be used as emotional stimulus materials for the study of parental brain or emotion researches.

AIM: To explore the anticancer function of Shp2 in lung adenocarcinoma A549 cells and the related molecular mechanisms.METHODS: The viability and proliferation of A549 cells treated with Shp2 specific inhibi-tor Phps-1 or cisplatin (DDP) were measured by CCK-8 assay and EdU assay.Annexin V-FITC/PI double staining was ap-plied to detect apoptotic rate of A549 cells with different interventions.The protein levels of caspase-3-17p, Bcl-2, Bax, p-STAT3 /STAT3 and p-ERK/ERK were determined by Western blot.RESULTS: Compared with control group, Phps-1 at the concentration of 20 μmol/L significantly increased the viability of A549 cells after 24 h of treatment ( P <0.05). Meanwhile, the proliferation rate of A549 cells in Phps-1 20 μmol/L group was significant increased compared with control group (P <0.05).The apoptotic rate of A549 cells in DDP treatment group decreased from 13.01% ±2.62% to 3.67%±0.93% after adding Phps-1 (P <0.05).Phps-1 down-regulated the protein levels of caspase-3-17p, Bax and p-ERK, but up-regulated p-STAT3.CONCLUSION: Shp2 is a tumor suppressor in A549 cells, which may be associated with the activation of STAT3 signal pathway.

Objective To explore the findings of diaphysial osteosarcoma in long bone on X-ray,CT and MRI, and discuss their clinical features and manifestations for differential diagnosis. Methods Twenty-eight cases with diaphysial osteosarcoma in long bone proved by surgery and pathology were reviewed retrospectively. Eighteen tumors were located in the femur, 4 in fibula, 4 in humerus and 2 in tibia. All of the patients were examined by X-ray, CT and MRI. The imaging manifestations on X-ray, CT and MRI were analyzed, and the relationship of the imaging features with the pathological types was also observed. The imaging signs were correlated with the pathologic findings with a double blind method. Results Of the 28 cases, there were 16 cases with large bone destruction, 22 cases with periosteal reaction on X-ray and CT. On X-ray, 18 cases showed soft tissue mass and 12 cases with neoplastic bone and tumor calcification.While on CT, 22 cases showed soft tissue mass on plain scan and 2 more cases displayed soft tissue mass after the injection of contrast mediun. Sixteen cases showed neoplastic bone and tumor calcification on CT.On MRI, there were 10 cases with bone destruction and periosteal reaction with iso- and hypo-intense on T1WI and iso- signals on T2WI. Twenty-six cases showed soft tissue edema and bone marrow on MRI. The soft mass were iso-signals on T1 WI and iso-hyperintense signals on T2 WI or STIR. The soft tissue edema was found hyperintense signals on T2WI or STIR. The lesions had heterogeneous enhancement especially in bone marrow with edema and adjcent soft tissue. Conclusion The X-ray, CT and MRI can reflect the pathological changes of diaphysial osteosarcoma in long bone from different aspects. Lower incidence, large bone destruction and no pathological fracture were the features of diaphysial osteosarcoma. The osteogenic type is diagnosed easily, but the osteolytic lesion should be differentiated from Ewing sarcoma, malignant giant cell tumor of bone and so on.

BACKGROUND: Vascular smooth muscle cell(VSMC) is one of the major cell components of vascular wall and its pathologic effects in atherosclerosis has been verified and recognized. How to inhibit VSMC proliferation and migration becomes one of the hotspots in the researches regarding the prevention of coronary heart disease(CHD).OBJECTIVE: To observe the impacts of diethyl-2, 6-diethyl-4-furny-1,4-dihydropyridine-3, 5-dicarboxylate(EFDP) on angiotensin Ⅱ (Ang Ⅱ)-induced VSMC proliferation.DESIGN: A randomized controlled study based on VSMC of rabbit' s thoracic aorta cultured in vitro.SETTING: Department of cardiology in a military medical university of Chinese PLA.MATERIALS: The study was conducted in the Laboratory of Cardiology of Xijing Hospital of the Fourth Military Medical University of Chinese PLA between August 2003 and June 2004. Five New Zealand rabbits were selected for the harvest of VSMC. Animal cells were randomly divided into control group, Ang Ⅱ group and Ang Ⅱ + EFDP group(EFDP group).METHODS: New Zealand rabbits were fed by high-fat food. Thoracic aorta was harvested for the separation and culture of VSMC after the injury in thoracic aorta intima by sacculus. The experiment introduced the cultured rabbit VSMC to observe the impacts of EFDP on VSMC DNA synthesis and its time effect during VSMC proliferation promoted by Ang Ⅱ by 3H-TdR method.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: 3H-TdR intensity of radio activity in cells of each group to display the DNA synthesis during VSMC proliferation process.RESULTS: Ang Ⅱ could promote the synthesis of rabbit VSMC DNA, which hit its peak at the 36th hour compared with that of control group(358. 00± 49.01 vs 272.42 ± 54.96, P ＜ 0. 01 ) . EFDP had significant inhibitive effects on Ang Ⅱ-induced VSMC proliferation, which also displayed a significant dose-dependent relationship, i.e. with the elevation of EFDP concentration, its inhibitive rate on VSMC proliferation also gradually increased. At the 36th hour, 78.40 μ mol/L of EFDP had more significant effect than that of 0. 08 μmol/L of EFDP(281.50 ± 15.28 vs 349. 25 ±32.10, P＜ 0. 05).CONCLUSION: EFDP can significantly inhibit Ang Ⅱ-induced rabbit VSMC proliferation with certain dose-effect dependency and time responses,which provides a theoretical gist for the primary rehabilitative prevention of atherosclerosis.

Objective To explore the effect of the prevention and treatment of unstable bladder after suprapubic prostaectomy by capsaicin instilled into the bladder preoperatively combined with patient-controlled epidural analgesia(PCEA)for benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH).Methods Sixty patients with BPH underwent suprapubic prostatectomy under epidural anesthesia were randomly divided into control group (30 cases)and treatment group(30 cases),100 ml of 100 μmol/L capsaicin was instilled into the bladder preoperatively for 30 minutes combined with PCEA after operation in treatment group,the control group was only given PCEA.Observed the incidence and continuous time of unstable bladder after operation in two groups.Results Unstable bladder was found in 3 cases of treatment group and they were Ⅰdegree,12 cases happened unstable bladder in control group,3 cases Ⅰdegree,5 cases Ⅱdegree,3 cases Ⅲ degree,1 case Ⅳ degree.There was obvious significance between two groups (P＜0.05).Conclusion Capsaicin instilled into the bladder combined with PCEA can cut off the reflex arc of detrusor contraction more completely and has obvious effect of decrease the incidence of unstable bladder after suprapubic prostatectomy and can be used widely.
