ObjectiveTo observe the therapeutic effect of standing bed on orthostatic hypotension with cervical spinal cord injury. Methods36 patients with cervical spinal cord injury were divided randomly into the standing bed group and routine treatment group. The blood pressure of all patients were measured every day during rehabilitation treatment. The function of spinal cord was assessed before and after treatment.ResultsThe function of sensory and motor in the two groups were all improved, but there was no statistical difference between the two groups in the grades of spinal cord function. There were 27 patients who had orthostatic hypotension in the study. All the patients with complete spinal cord injury suffered the orthostatic hypotension. There was no improvement in blood pressure of complete spinal cord injury after treatment. In incomplete spinal cord injury patients, there was a significant improvement and the difference of blood presure between lying and standing was decreased in standing bed group after treatment (P<0.05). Compared with routine treatment group, the blood pressure in standing bed group was improved (P<0.05). Conclusions Cervical spinal cord injury could have orthostatic hypotension. Complete spinal cord injury would suffer orthostatic hypotension in different degree. The standing bed treatment could improve the orthostatic hypotension in incomplete spinal cord injury.

OBJECTIVETo discuss the applicatioen of flap for the urethroplasty in the distal penile segment in the staged correction of severe hypospadias.
METHODSFrom Oct. 2004 to Aug. 2014, 25 cases with severe hypospadias were treated by staged urethroplasty for urethra reconstruction. The urethral meatus were located at peroscrotum in 4 patinets, at scrotum in 8 patients and at perineum in 13 cases. At the first stage, the urethral plate was divided and chordee was corrected. Then tubularized transverse island flap was used to prefabricate partial distal urethra. The defective urethra was repaired by using the Thiersch-Duplay principle at the second stage.
RESULTSAll patients completed both stages of the operation. The follow-up duration was 6-72 months (average, 24 months). In the first-stage, the modified tabularized transverse preputial island flap was performed on 10 patients, whereas the modified preputial double-faced island flap was performed on the other 15 patients. All of the prefabricated partial distal urethras had no evidence of stenosis or scarring. The result of the second-stage procedure was a complete penis with integrated urethral. All patients were satisfied with cosmetic and functional results. Neither stricture nor diverticula was observed. A good urinary stream during the urination was achieved in 19(19/ 25, 76%) patients. Five cases (5/25, 25%) developed urethrocutaneous fistula and one cases developed meatal stenosis (1/25, 4%) after the second stage repair.
CONCLUSIONSStaged urethroplasty using flap is a good choice for severe hypospadias. The successful rate is relatively high with good cosmetic and functional results.

Objective To study the expression of PIM-1 in prostate cancer (PCa) and its clinical significance. Methods Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction ( RT-PCR) analysis was used to determine the expression level of PIM-1 mRNA in 2 cases of benign prostatic hyperplasia ( BPH) samples and 5 cases of PCa samples, and immunohistochemical analysis was used to investigate PIM-1 protein expression in 20 cases of BPH, 20 cases of high grade-prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia ( HGPIN) and 42 cases of PCa tissues. The immunohistochemical staining intensity was scored as negative, weak, moderate and strong positive. Results The expression level of PIM-1 mRNA in 5 cases of PCa was 0. 63 , 0. 55 , 0. 42, 0. 91 and 0. 76 ; the level in 2 cases of BPH was 0. 26 and 0. 27 , respectively. The negative rates of expression of PIM-1 protein in BPH, HGPIN and PCa tissues were 60% ( 12/20) , 20% (4/20) and 2% (1/42) ,the weak positive rates of the expression were 40% (8/12) , 20% (4/20) and 12% (5/42) , while the moderate to strong positive rates of the expression of PIM-1 protein was 0 (0/20) , 60% ( 12/20) and 86% (36/42) , respectively. Immunohistochemical analysis showed PIM-1 protein expression in PCa was higher than those in HGPIN and BPH(all P

Objective To explore the preliminarily clinical value of strain rate parameters using velocity vector imaging (VVI) evaluating left ventricular regional endocardial systolic function in patients with coronary artery heart disease (CAD).Methods A total of eight six inner subjects who were suspected as CAD was enrolled in the study.Patients with the vascular stenosis rate ≥ 50% were defined as the CAD group,patients with the vascular stenosis rate < 50% were defined as the coronary atherosclerosis group,and patients with the completely normal angiographic results were included in the control group,according to the results of angiography.The left ventricular endocardial systolic strain rate parameters of VVI were obtained in standard long axis views (apical two,three,and four-chamber view) and short axis views (at the level of the mitral valve,papillary muscles,and apex).The strain rate parameters were global longitudinal endocardial systolic strain rate in the apical two,three,and four-chamber views (A2-GLSRs,A3-GLSRs,and A4-GLSRs),global radial endocardial systolic strain rate in short axis view of the mitral valve level,papillary muscles,and apex (MV-GRSRs,PM-GRSRs,and AP-GRSRs),and global circumferential endocardial systolic strain rate in short axis view of the mitral valve level,papillary muscles,and apex (MV-GCSRs,PM-GCSRs,and AP-GCSRs).The parametric differences were compared among three groups.Results All the subjects included in the present study had normal left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and there was no significant difference in LVEF across three groups.Compared to other groups,the control group had significantly higher E/A ratio.The LV endocardial systolic strain rate parameters were all significantly reduced in the CAD group compared to the control group and the coronary atherosclerosis group (all P < 0.05).Compared to the control group[(-1.37 ± 0.25)/s],the coronary atherosclerosis group [(-1.12 ± 0.42)/s] had significantly lower MV-GCSRs (P <0.01).Conclusions VVI is useful for quantitative assessment of the left ventricular systolic function in CAD.MV-GCSRs might have the potential to predict early left ventricle (LV) systolic dysfunction in subjects with coronary artery stenosis < 50%.
