Objective To explore the indication,technique and complications of Snodgrass operation in hypospadias repairment.Methods From Sep.2005 to Nov.2006,22 boys from 2 to 18 years old with hypospadias were treated with Snodgrass modification.The procedure was performed in 16 patients as a primary repairment and in 6 patients as the 2-stage repairment.The entire length of the urethral plate was incised along the midline in primary repairment,and the skin flaps and residual urethral plate were incised in the 2-stage repairment.The length of neourethra was from 1 to 10 cm.The neourethra was tubularized over a F 6 or F 8 catheter.The urethral stent was removed in 10 to 14 days pos-toperatively.Results Of the 22 patients,18(81.8%) required no other surgery as the repairment provided a normal appearing penis(straight,terminal meatus, cosmetics) without complications.Fistul aoccurred in 4 patients(18.2%) and meatal stenosis in 1 patient.Conclusion Snodgrass operation creates a vertical slit-like neomeatus.The procedures restores good function and normal appearance to the penis.

Objective To explore influence of thoracic duct ligation on lipid metabolism after esophagectomy. Methods Seventy-four patients with esophageal cancer received esophagectomy were divided into two groups by their thoracic duct ligation, 39 in ligation group and 35 in non-ligation group. All the patients were fed with nutrients through nasal-duodenal tube placed during operation from the 1 st day to the 8th day after surgery, and started taking liquid diet on the 6th day. Blood specimens were collected from the patients on the 1st day after admission, the 9th day, one month and three months after surgery,respectively for biochemical analysis,including determinations of total cholesterol(TC),triglyeeride(TG),high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol ( HDL-C) and low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol ( LDL-C) . Databetween the two groups were compared with statistical analysis. Results No significant difference in plasma levels of TC, TG and HDI.-C was found between the two groups at varied time points. Plasma level of LDL-C in the ligation group significantly decreased on the 9th day after surgery, as compared with that in the nonligation group ( P ＜ 0. 05), and went down to the lowest level one month after surgery. Conclusions Chylomicron was blocked to enter blood stream and production of LDL-C decreased by thoracic duct ligation,which affect lipid absorption and metabolism leading to poor early nutrition in patients with esophagealsurgery due to slower establishment of collateral circulation.

Objective To analyze the correlationship of ACE I/D gene polymerphisms with the anti-hypertensive efficacy of irbesartan among essential hypertension (EH) patients in Yunnan han people.Methods One hundred EH patients hypertension were treated with irbesartan 150mg once daily for 4 weeks,and anti-hypertensive efficacy were monitored during the treatment.Results There was a significant difference between anti-hypertensive efficacy of irbesartan among different genotype groups,DD group ＞ID group ＞Ⅱ group (P ＜ 0.05) Conclusions There is different therapy responsiveness in diffenent genotypes.ACE I/D polymorphism may be an important hereditary factor that impacts the efficacy of irbesartan.

Objective To analyze the characteristics of bone scintigraphy in 117 cases with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT).Methods Of these 117 cases (50 males and 67 females),there were 116 parathyroid adenomas and 1 parathyroid cancer.Mean age was 61.1(12-86) years old.All had ~(99)Tc~m-methylene diphosphonate (MDP) bone scintigraphy.The bone images could be classified into 4 categories.Category Ⅰ:normal;category Ⅱ:localized abnormal,which could be subcategorized as Ⅱ A with skull and mandible involvement,and Ⅱ B with Ⅱ A characteristics plus metabolic derangement;category Ⅲ:systemic,whole-body incmased tracer uptake;category Ⅳ:systemic plus localized metabolic derangement.Data were analyzed statistically with X~2 and t-test (isolated samples).Results According to the scintigraphic findings,there were 47 cases(40.17%)of category Ⅰ,35 cases(29.91%) category Ⅱ (21/35cases Ⅱ A and 14/35 cases Ⅱ B),30 cases (25.64%) category Ⅲ,and 5 cases (4.27%) category Ⅳ.Combining categories Ⅱ、Ⅲ and Ⅳ together,there were 70 abnormal cases.These patients had history of abnormal bone images such as bone fracture (39 cases,55.71%),calculus (8 cases,11.43%),bone fracture plus calculus(7 cases,10.00%),osteoporosis (51 cases,72.86%) or ostalgia(26 cases,37.14%);however,in the 47 cases of category Ⅰ,only 1 (2.13%),0,0,10(21.28%)and 10 cases (21.28%),respectively,were found.Therefore.these case history characteristics were statistically significant (X~2=11.152,P=0.01).The tumor size,parathyroid hormone (PTH),blood calcium,blood phosphorus in the patients of abnormal PHPT categories Ⅱ to Ⅲ were(14.52±13.72)cm~3,(731.67±618.40)ng/L,(3.05±0.29) mmol/L and (0.71±0.14) mmol/L,respectively.with statistically significant difference compared to category Ⅰ:(0.78±1.33) cm~3,(112.04±62.98)ng/L,(2.56±0.42) mmol/L and (1.03±0.36)mmol/L(t=-5.724,-5.741,-7.274 and -6.451;all P＜0.01).Conclusions (1)Bone scintigraphy was normal in 40% of PHPT patients.(2)The bone images of PHPT could be classified into 4 categories and each could reflect the duration and severity of the disease status on bone.(3)The bone imaging characteristic could be useful for differential diagnostic purposes.

Objective To investigate the clinical features,diagnosis and treatment of prostate sarcoma. Methods19 cases of prostate sarcoma had been treated in our hospital from Oct 1995 to Sep 2010,aged from 16 to 48 years (mean,36 years).They were hospitalized due to different degrees of difficulty in urination,6 cases with bladder irritation,3 cases with gross hematuria,3 cases with blood clots in urination,3 cases with difficult defecation,2 cases with urinary tract infection,and 1 case with low back pain.Digital rectal examination showed prostate volume increased significantly in 16 cases,of which 6 cases prominent into bladder,and 3 cases touched hard nodules and tenderness.B ultrasound examination showed prostate neoplasms with internal echo uneven.Pelvic MRI in 12 cases indicated irregular soft tissue density in prostate with unclear edge,a high-low mixed signal inside,and mass protruding outward,among which 7 cases with significantly enlarged prostates and unclear bladder boundaries,6 cases with unclear boundaries with rectum,and 1 case with solid and cystic change. Pelvic CT in 10 cases showed irregular prostate tumors,among which 5 cases with tumor violation of bilateral seminal vesicle,2 cases with tumor invasion of unilateral seminal vesicle,and 3 cases with lymph node enlargement.Chest X-ray in 2 cases showed widespread metastatic lung. Results Different treatments were used according to different conditions:6 cases with full cystoprostatectomy,8 cases with radical prostatectomy,1 case with skin routine ureter fistulization and rectal fistulization,1 case with bladder fistulization,1 case with chemotherapy after prostate biopsy,and 2 cases with prostate biopsy alone. Pathological diagnosis showed 6 cases of leiomyosarcoma,6 cases of rhabdomyosarcoma,2 cases of malignant mesenchymal tumor,1 case of phyllodes sarcoma,1 case of granulocytic sarcoma,1 case of phyllodes sarcoma,1 case of malignant fibrous tissue sarcoma,and 1 case of poorly differentiated muscle induced sarcoma. Immunohistochemical examination in 19 cases of paraffin specimens stained with SP showed vimentin was positive,smooth muscle actin and myoglobin in leiomyosarcoma and rhabdomyosarcoma were positive respectively,and desmin in two kinds of afore-mentioned sarcoma expressed in different level.CD117 and S-100 were weakly positive in 1 patient with undifferentiated component and 1 patient with liposarcoma of the malignant mesenchymoma.Peroxidase was positive in granulocytic sarcoma,p63 was positive in lobulated sarcoma,and CD34 was positive in malignant fibrous histiocytoma.14 patients were given chemotherapy,among which 6 cases were combined with radiotherapy.19 cases were followed up for 4 -30 months (mean 13 months).4 patients survived for 24 -30 months without recurrence,while 15 cases died within 18 months after diagnosis. Conclusions The prostate sarcoma is a clinically rare malignant tumor with high degree of malignancy and unspecific clinical manifestations.The diagnosis relies on biopsy and immunohistochemistry,and early diagnosis and radical surgical excision are helpful for increasing survival rate.

Abstract: Objective　To detect the antibody levels of hantavirus in serum samples from patients suspected with hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) in Heilongjiang Province from 2019 to 2021, and to provide scientific basis for the prevention and control of disease. Methods　Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) were used to detect the IgM antibodies to hantavirus in serum samples collected from suspected patients with HFRS in the acute-phase, and IgM and IgG antibody in convalescent-phase serum samples. The positive rate of IgM antibody in acute-phase serum samples of patients in different years was analyzed with χ2 test by SPSS 19.0, and the data were sorted out and analyzed about patients' gender, occupation, age, date of onset and interval from onset to initial diagnosis by EpiData 3.1, Excel 2003 software. Results　A total of 351 acute-phase serum samples and 208 convalescent-phase serum samples were detected in patients suspected with HFRS, respectively. There were 317 positive IgM antibodies of serum samples in the acute stage, with the positive rate of 90.31%. There was no significant difference in the positive rate of IgM antibodies in the acute stage between different years (χ2=0.895, P=0.639). T The IgM antibodies and IgG antibodies were positive in 32 (15.39%) and 28 (13.46%) of the convalescent-phase serum samples, respectively. Moreover, 148 patients (71.15%) were double-positive for IgM and IgG antibodies at the convalescent stage. The ratio of male to female patients was 4.56∶1, for which male patients were much more than female patients. Occupation was dominated by farmers (253 cases, 79.81%), followed by workers (19 cases, 5.99%) and the unemployed (17 cases, 5.36%), respectively. The age of patients ranged from 10 to 88 years old, with a median age of 49 years old. Most of the patients were in the age group from 30 years old to 60 years old (209 cases, 65.93%), among which the age group from 40 years old to 50 years old (86 cases, 27.13%) had the highest proportion, and the age group from 60 years old to 90 years old had a proportion of 20.18% (19 cases). May and November were the peak periods of HFRS in Heilongjiang Province. The median interval between onset and initial diagnosis was 4 days. Conclusions　There is a gap of about 10% between the clinical diagnosis of HFRS cases and the confirmed cases detected by laboratory in Heilongjiang Province from 2019 to 2021. The virus-specific detection results are important for confirming the diagnosis of local patients with HFRS.
