Objective To study the complications and their management of plasmakinetic transurethral resection of the prostate (PKRP). Methods Complications and their management of 51 cases of PKRP from May 2003 to June 2006 were retrospectively reviewed. Results Complications of the procedure were as follows. Bladder spasms occurred in 27 cases (accompanying hemorrhage in 2 cases and urge incontinence in 6 cases), and the symptoms disappeared after patient-controlled intravenous analgesia and M-receptor blocker (tolterodine). Postoperative bleeding occurred in 6 cases. Continuous irrigation with normal saline and medical therapy were given in 3 cases, and open surgery was required in 3 cases with severe bleeding. All bleeding patients obtained a full recovery of voiding function without re-bleeding. Urge incontinence occurred in 13 cases, and was cured with functional exercises of pelvic floor muscles and M-receptor blocker (tolterodine) administration. Stress incontinence was observed in 1 case, and a penile clamp had been used to control incontinence. Among 7 cases of urinary retention after operation, a re-operation of PKRP was conducted in 2 cases and oral medication was carried out in 5. The voiding function recovered well in all the 7 cases. In 5 cases of urethral stricture, urethral dilatation was employed in 3 cases and urethrotomy was performed in 2 cases to obtain a good recovery of voiding function. Conclusions Bladder spasm, postoperative bleeding, incontinence, urinary retention, and urethral stricture are common complications of PKRP. Strict adherence to technique and timely and proper management of complications are considered essential to improve results.

The effects of vasectomy on the reproductive organs in various species are controversial. This study investigated the morphological change and apoptosis of the testis, epididymis, and vas deferens in beagle dogs 12 months after vasectomy. The male beagles were divided into two groups: vasectomized and sham-operated groups (n=5 in each). Histopathological, ultrastructural, and TUNEL evaluation of the changes in the testis, epididymis, and ductus deferens of each animal were conducted 12 months after surgery. The mean lumen diameter, cellular thickness, mean interstitial distance, and lumen area fraction of each seminiferous tubule and ductus epididymis were measured by stereological analysis. The results showed that, compared with the sham-operated group, the seminiferous tubular epithelial cells of the testes in the vasectomized group were disorderly arranged and scattered. Significant atrophy and apoptosis were found in the endothelial cells, and a range of ultrastructural variations were observed in the cells of testes, epididymis, and vas deferens in vasectomized group. It was concluded that complete obstruction of the vas deferens as a traditional contraception method is not absolutely safe in terms of the reversal of fertility in the long run. Techniques of relieving the inner pressure in the vas deferens while maintaining the efficacy of male contraception need to be explored.

Objective To explore the clinical value of gastric bare area (GBA) for the prognosis of gastric fundus and cardia carcinoma.Methods The data of 82 patients with gastric fundus and cardia carcinoma from January 2010 to December 2011 were retrospectively analyzed.The patients were divided into group A (49 cases) with cancer cell invasion in GBA and group B (33 cases) without invasion in GBA.All the patients underwent D2 gastrectomy plus surgical resection of GBA and were treated by 6 cycles of postoperative FOLFOX-4 chemotherapy scheme.Postoperative follow-up and survival analysis were carried out for patients in both groups.Results According to survival analysis (Kaplan-Meier method),the postoperative 1-,2-and 3-year cumulative survival rates of the patients in group A were 91.8 ％,57.3 ％ and 29.0 ％,respectively,while those of the patients in group B were 93.9 ％,75.0 ％ and 48.2 ％,respectively.The median survival times of the patients in group A and group B were 27.0 months and 36.0 months,respectively,which was demonstrated existing statistical significance(X2 =4.972,P =0.026).Conclusions The prognosis of gastric fundus and cardia carcinoma patients with invasion in GBA by cancer cells is poor.Surgical resection of GBA may help to improve the prognosis of the patients with gastric fundus and cardia carcinoma.

Objective To explore the enhancing effect of monoclonal antibody coated with anti-human CD3 and CD28 on acti-vation and transformation of peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC)in vitro.Methods Human peripheral blood mononuclear cells were separated.Cells was cultured in vitro,and determined by flow cytometry.The solid phase with CD3 and CD28 antibody was coated and added in.The mature CIK cells were obtained after 12 days culturing.Results The CD4 + cells was lower in group C than those in group A(P <0.05).The CD8 + cells was higher in group C than that in group A and B(P <0.05).There was signifi-cant difference of T4/T8 between group C and group A and B(P <0.05 ).There was significant difference of NK cells between group B and group C(P <0.05).The CD25 + cells was lower in group C than that in group A (P <0.01).Conclusion CD3 antibody solid coated combined with CD28 antibody added to the suspension has more strong activation than both CD3 antibody and CD28 antibody solid coating on peripheral blood mononuclear cell.

Objective To study the clinical effect, safety of stains collapse of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) combined with tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) antagonist-a recombinant human tumor necrosis factor receptor:Fc fusion protein (rhTNF:Fc) and sulfasalazine (SSZ) in treatment of active ankylosing spondylitis (AS). Methods A total of 98 patients of AS of Gansu Provincial Hospital were divided into two groups in random, the western medicine group (rhTNF:Fc and SSZ, n=46) and the combining group (stains collapse of TCM, rhTNF:Fc and SSZ, n=52). The Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI), the Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index (BASFI), Patient Global Assessment (PGA), Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) of night pain, VAS of total pain, time of morning stiffness, TCM symptom score, distance between occipital and wall, distance between finger and ground,
thoracic activity, Schober test, and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C reactive protein (CRP), adverse reactions before and after treatment were observed and the clinical effect was evaluated in two groups. Results A total of 86 patients achieved the study finally, 45 patients in the combining group and 41 patients in the western medicine group. The effective rate of ASAS20 was better in the combining group than that in the western medicine group(χ2=4.814,P=0.028), the Bath ankylosing spondylitis disease activity index (BASDAI) 50 showed no significant difference between the two group (χ2=0.100,P=0.752). The total effective rate in the combining group than that in the western medicine group(χ2=3.873,P=0.049). In comparison with the same group before treatment, the above indicators were improved after treatment (P<0.05). In comparison with the western medicine group after treatment, BASFI, PGA, VAS of night pain, VAS of total pain, time of morning stiffness, TCM symptom score, distance between occipital and wall, distance between finger and ground and Schober test were getting better in the combining group (P<0.05), but BASDAI, thoracic activity, ESR, CRP were not improved in the combining group (P>0.05). The adverse reactions showed no significant difference (P>0.05). Conclusions Stains collapse of TCM combined with rhTNF:Fc was more effective than single method in treatment of AS, it can alleviated the symptoms, body signs and body function, decrease indexes of inflammation, which has dramatic effect and good safety in clinic.

Objectives: To evaluate the safety and feasibility of ultra-low anastomosis for anal preservation in laparoscopic rectal can-cer surgery. Methods: The clinical data of 54 patients with low rectal cancer admitted to The Affiliated Hospital of Southwest Medical University from July 2014 to June 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. The short-term effect and complications were analyzed. Results:All patients underwent successful operations; conversion to laparotomy or death was not observed in any of the patients. The mean operative time was (165 ± 31) minutes, and the intraoperative bleeding volume was (12 ± 5) mL. There was no prophylactic ileostomy in all patients. Postoperative anastomotic bleeding and anastomotic leakage occurred in 2 and 3 cases, respectively; these complica-tions were managed with conservative treatment. Postoperative urination and sexual functions of the patients remained good, and most patients were satisfied with their anal function 1 year post-operation. No local recurrences or deaths were noted after follow-up for more than 2 years. However, liver metastases were detected in 3 patients 1 year post-surgery. Conclusions: Laparoscopic transab-dominal ultra-low anastomosis for rectal cancer has a good short-term effect; however, the long-term effect remains to be evaluated.

Asthma is a common respiratory disease that affects 300 million of people worldwide, posing a serious health risk and medical burden. Development of new anti-asthmatic drugs and alternative treatment regimens is therefore encouraged. Recent studies have shown that Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) is involved in asthma development. In order to construct nanoparticles targeting EGFR for asthma treatment, a single chain antibody fragment (scFv) against EGFR was genetically engineered and modified at the N-terminal end of the human ferritin H-chain (FTH1) to construct Anti EGFR scFv::FTH1/FTH1 nanoparticles. Transmission electron microscopy showed that the nanoparticles were self-assembled into hollow cage-like structures with the particle size of about 12 nm. Semi-quantitative analysis of the purified nanoparticles by SDS-PAGE revealed the mass ratio of FTH1 to Anti EGFR scFv::FTH1 was 7:3. In House Dust Mite (HDM) driven models, Anti EGFR scFv::FTH1/FTH1 nanoparticles efficiently attenuated several key features of asthma, including goblet cell hyperplasia, mucous metaplasia and subepithelial fibrosis, showing the potential of using ferritin based nanoparticle for asthma treatment.
