Objective To investigate the treatment of urinary tract obstruction after kidney transplantation, and to introduce the novel ‘antegrade percutaneous urinary tract throughout guidance technique’ with guide wire in selected patients. Methods 43 cases of renal transplantation patients due to urinary tract obstruction (ureteral stenosis and hydronephrosis in 24 cases, urinary calculi with or not ureteral stenosis in 19 cases) received endourological treatment. Retrograde pathway was tried firstly, if failed, antegrade pathway was adopted with‘antegrade percutaneous urinary tract throughout guidance technique’, 18 Fr percutaneous tract was established if necessary, endoscopy was needed in antegrade or combine with retrograde pathway. Results Of the 43 patients, 9 (20.9 %) patients were managed directly through the retrograde ureteroscopy, 28 (65.1 %) patients were managed with anterograde percutaneous technique in 18 Fr tract, 6 (14.0 %) patients were treated with ‘antegrade percutaneous urinary tract throughout guidance technique’. Operation time was (72.0 ± 16.0) (45 ~ 95) minutes. Postoperative stone clearance rate of 89.5 % (17/19). Of 32 cases with ureteral stricture, 6 (6/32, 18.8 %) cases were cured after one time of dilation and JJ stent indwelling for 2 months, 18 (56.3%) cases with stable hydronephrosis after 2-3 times of dilation and JJ stent indwelling, 5 cases (15.6 %) needed long-term repeated stent indwelling for drainage, 3 (9.4%) cases required nephrostomy tube drainage. Conclusion Minimally invasive treatment of urinary tract obstruction after renal transplantation is effective. Antegrade percutaneous urinary tract throughout guidance technique provided a powerful guarantee for retrograde operation and avoided the bleeding risk following percutaneous renal surgery, when combined with flexible ureteroscopy, urinary calculi in patients with kidney transplantation can be effectively managed with little trauma.

Objective To investigete the effect of low-concentration ozone (O3) on voltage-gated calcium channels in fetal rat spinal cord neurons in vitro. Methods The spinal cord neurons were cultured in vitro and identified by immunohistochemistry staining. Then the cells were seeded into the culture dish and randomly divided into 3 groups: control group (group C, n = 5), O3 15 μg/ml (group O3-15, n = 4) and O3 20 μg/ml group (group O3-20, n = 8). The cells were exposed to O3 15 and 20 μg/ml in group O3-15 and O3-20 respectively, while the cells were exposed to air in group C. After 20 min incubation, the electrophysiological activity of calcium channels in neurons was recorded using whole-cell patch-clamp technique. Results Peak calcium current density was significantly increased in group O3-15 and O3-20 compared with group C ( P ＜ 0.05). Half-activation voltage was significantly lower in group O3-15 and O3-20 than in group C ( P ＜ 0.05). Peak calcium current density was significantly higher in group O3 -20 than in group O3-15 ( P ＜ 0.05) . There was no significant difference in half-inactivation voltage among the three groups ( P ＞ 0.05). Conclusion Low concentration of O3 can make the activation of the calcium ion channel easy in fetal rat spinal cord neurons in vitro.

Objective To evaluate the prognostic impact of a wide spectrum of pathologic parameters in a consecutive series of homogenously treated and well-characterized patients with stage Ⅰ and Ⅱ colorectal cancer, and to investigate the prognostic value of lymph node occult disease (micrometastasis) in disease-free survival rate detected by immunohistochemistry with epithelial membrane antigen and carcinoembryonic antigen. Methods The study included 126 patients operated on by a single surgeon for stage Ⅰ and Ⅱ colorectal tumors. The postoperative follow-up was performed for 64 to 106 months. At least 10 lymph nodes were harvested and examined in all the specimens. The prognostic value of 10 pathologic parameters, including lymph node occult disease (micrometastasis) detected by immunohistochemistry was investigated. Results Multivariate analysis identified lymphatic vessel invasion (absent or present;P=0.009) in lymph node positive and negative by immunohistochemistry. The five-year disease-free survival rates were 78.7%, 65.5% and 43.8% for the lymph node negative, isolated tumor cells and micrometastasis groups, respectively. There was significant difference between the lymph node negative and micrometastasis groups (P=0.005). However, the difference between the lymph node negative and isolated tumor cells groups was not statistically significant (P=0.144). Conclusions We propose that for patients found micrometastasis in lymph node with high-risk stage Ⅰ and Ⅱ colorectal cancer, adjuvant therapies are justified and effective.
