Objective To study the effect of urodynamic factors on the urinary retention of the patients with cervical cancer received radical hysterectomy. Methods Seventy-two patients with cervical cancer Ininternational Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage Ⅰ bl to Ⅱ a hospitalized in Fujian Provincial Maternity and Child Health Hospital between June 2006 and August 2009, who were not found any abnormal representation of urodynamics before the operation, were divided into the group with urinary retention and the group without urinary retention based on whether urinary retention after the operation. All patients were detected by urodynamic examination following radical hysterectomy. Data obtained from urodynamic examination were analysed by logistic regression to evaluate the influence of urodynamic factors on the urinary retention postoperation. Results Twenty-one patients out of all were found with urinary retention after the operation , the incidence rate of urinary retention was 29%. The first sensation after operation in both groups were increased significantly than those before operation[ ( 171 ±61 )ml vs.(126 ±28)ml, (134±39)ml vs. (119 ± 17)ml,all P＜0.05], while the maximum volume[ (337 ±66) and (300 ±66)ml, respectively], the compliance[ (31 ±25) and (29 ± 18) ml/cm H2O (1 cm H2O =0. 098 kPa), respectively], the maximum flow rate[ (10 ±4) and (12 ±5) ml/s, respectively] and the pressure at the maximum flow rate [ (27 ±9) and (32 ±8) cm H2O, respectively] were decreased obviously after radical hysterectomy in both the group with urinary retention and the group without urinary retention ( all P ＜0.05), compared with the corresponding value before the operation. The urodynamic changes in urinary retention group was much more severe than those in group without urinary retention ( P ＜ 0. 05 ). The single factor analysis results showed that bladder destusor dysfunction ( OR = 8. 20, 95% CI: 2.62 - 25. 66, P ＜0. 01 ) and lack of sensation ( OR = 6. 90, 95% CI: 1.95 - 24. 43, P ＜ 0. 01 ) were relevant to the urinary retention post-operation. While there were not relationship was found between low compliance bladder( OR =1.99, 95% CI:0. 70 - 5.63, P = 0. 195 ), detrusor overactivity ( OR = 2. 51, 95% CI: 0. 73 - 8.67, P =0. 144), bladder outlet obstruction ( OR = 3.77, 95% CI: 0. 76 - 18. 57, P = 0. 104 ) or dyssynergia of urethral external sphincter( OR =2. 67, 95% CI:0. 49- 14. 45, P =0. 255 ) and urinary retention following the operation. There were an antagonistic effects ( OR = 7.60, 95% CI: 1.43 - 40. 39, P = 0. 017 ) of detrusor overactivity and bladder destrusor dysfunction on urinary retention. The multiple factors analysis results revealed that bladder destusor dysfunction( OR = 7.01, P ＜ 0. 01 ) and lack of sensation( OR = 5.45, P =0. 018)were the independent risk factors influening on the urinary retention post-operation. Conclusions There are obvious urodynamic change in cervical cancer patients following radical hysterectomy. Bladder destrusor dysfunction and lack of sensation are the independent urodynamic risk factors influencing on urinary retention following radical hysterectomy, while detrusor over activity may be a protective effect on bladder destrusor dysfunction post-operation in some degree. Urodynamic test is important for analysis and treatment of urinary retention following radical hysterectomy.

Objective To analyze and summarize the clinical features of delayed occurrence of senile asthma,to add the knowledge and understanding of the disease. Methods To retrospectively analyze clinical data of the cases of senile asthma treated in our hospital,all the cases were divided into groups of early onset senile asthma and delayed occurrence senile asthma,according to the age of first onset.Then related indexes were analyzed,to summarize the clinical features of group of delayed occurrence of senile asthma. Results There were 28 cases of delayed occurrence of senile asthma,accounting for 34.6% of total cases.Compared to early onset group,there was no significant difference (all P＞0.05) between two groups for the following items such as age,allergic history and positive rate of family's history,disease causes,clinical symptoms,basic diseases and complications,proportion of severe cases,rate of misdiagnosis and mistreatment,proportion of standardized treatment and un-standardized treatment,prognosis of diseases and mortality.Both groups had low rate of knowledge and application on PEF monitoring equipment and ACT score.The period of misdiagnosis and mistreatment for delayed occurrence group was shorter than the early onset group (P＜0.05＝; the seasonal nature and day and night pattern was significant in delayed occurrence group (P＜0.05＝. Conclusion Late onset elderly asthma had the features such as shorter course of the disease,relatively obvious onset rule during day and night,and obvious symptoms during night,which are different from that of early onset group.

Objective:To study the variation of recent bladder function of the patients who received radical hysterectomy and evaluate its significance. Methods:Sixty-three patients with cervical carcinoma in International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics(FIGO) stage IB1 to ⅡA received urodynamic examination before and after operation. The urodynamic parameters included filling cystometry, pressure-flow rate, and electromyography of sphinctienter. Results:Radical hysterectomy induced significant increase in the first sensation (P<0.01)and post voiding residual of bladder (P<0.01) ;whereas caused significant decrease in the maximum volume(P<0.01), compliance(P<0.01),maximum flow rate(P<0.01) and the pressure at the maximum flow rate(P<0.01), respectively, compared with the corresponding values before the operation. Short-term bladder dysfunctions were observed in 34 patients (54.0%) including bladder detrusor dysfunction, low compliance bladder, bladder outlet obstruction, dyssynergia of urethral external sphincter and detrusor overactivity. The incidences of low compliance bladder and bladder detrusor dysfunction increased significantly after operation (P<0.01). Urinary retention was found in 28.6%(18/63) patients. The incidences of bladder detrusor dysfunction (66.7% vs 20.0%) and detrusor overactivity (33.3% vs 4.4%) in the group with urinary retention were significantly higher than those of corresponding group without urinary retention. Conclusion:The bladder function had obvious short-term changes following radical hysterectomy. In the many types of bladder dysfunction the main dysfunctions were low compliance bladder and bladder detrusor dysfunction. The bladder detrusor dysfunction might be the major cause of the urinary retention following the surgery. Urodynamic test was important for post-operative analysis and treatment of bladder dysfunction.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of ginsenosides (GS) and low dose glucocorticoid in preventing and treating the postembolization syndrome following transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE). METHODS: Eighty patients with primary liver carcinoma were randomly divided into 4 double-blinded groups, with 20 patients in each group. Patients in groups A, B, C, D were treated with placebo, dexamethasone (Dex), GS, Dex and GS, respectively. The changes of clinical symptoms and laboratory tests after TACE were observed. RESULTS: Dex combined with GS markedly decreased the occurrence ratio and lasting time of the symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, fever and pain, and protected the function of liver as compared with the placebo (P<0.05). Single use of Dex or GS improved some symptoms as compared with the placebo, but it was not as good as the combination of Dex and GS. CONCLUSION: Dex combined with GS can effectively prevent and treat the postembolization syndrome following TACE.

OBJECTIVE: To construct a system of therapeutic effect evaluation for patients with primary liver cancer according to the theory of syndrome differentiation in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), and to examine its reliability. METHODS: Analytic hierarchy process and 100 mm surveyor's rod method were applied to obtain bottom layer and top level syndromes, which were used to construct the method of therapeutic effect evaluation, and its reliability was verified in clinical practice by comparing with some evaluation criteria in Western medicine, such as cancer severity scale; Karnofsky performance scale; Child-Pugh classification, cancer staging classification, and quality of life scale, etc. RESULTS: A system of therapeutic effect evaluation was constructed, and it could reflect the progress of tumor, changes of hepatic function and constitution. The evaluation scores acquired from the system were highly associated with the quality of life of the patients. CONCLUSION: The system of therapeutic effect evaluation can reflect the severity of disease and the characteristics of TCM treatment.

OBJECTIVE: To work out a qualitative diagnostic criterion for basic syndromes of traditional Chinese medicine in patients with primary liver cancer. METHODS: Based on the collection and analysis of related medical literature, clinical investigation, and experts' discussion, a preliminary qualitative diagnostic criterion for basic syndromes of traditional Chinese medicine in patients with primary liver cancer was formulated. Then it was used in clinic to be verified and revised repeatedly till it was improved to be a satisfied formal criterion. RESULTS: The basic syndromes listed in the qualitative diagnostic criterion for basic syndromes in patients with primary liver cancer consisted of two parts: excessive syndromes, including the syndromes of stagnation of qi, blood stasis, excess-heat and dampness, and deficient syndromes, including the syndromes of deficiency of qi, deficiency of blood, deficiency of yin and deficiency of yang. Each of the above syndromes could be diagnosed according to specific combination of its corresponding symptoms or signs. The clinical verification results showed that the total matching ratio was 73.92% between the diagnoses made according to the criterion and the diagnoses acquired from the experts' experience. CONCLUSIONS: The qualitative diagnostic criterion for basic syndromes of traditional Chinese medicine in patients with primary liver cancer is coincident with the experts' clinical practice. However, it needs to be further studied.

OBJECTIVETo determine the plasma protein binding rates of brucine and strychnine in total alkaloids from the seed of Strychnou nux-vomica, and make comparison with the single components at the same concentration.

METHODUltrafiltration was employed to determine the rat the plasma protein binding rate of the alkaloids from the seed of S. nux-vomica. The plasma concentrations were measured by RP-HPLC.

RESULTThe protein binding rates of brucine were (65.60 3.01)%, (68.20 +/- 7.80)%, (59.58 +/- 3.78)% when the plasma concentrations was 0.520, 1.300, 2.600 mg x L(-1), respectively. The protein binding rates of strychnine was (66.17 +/- 6.36)%, (67.10 +/- 2.52)%, (57.21 +/- 0.79)% when the plasma concentrations were 0.936, 2.340, 4.680 mg x L(-1) respectively. As to the total alkaloids from the seed of S. nux-vomica, The protein binding rate of brucine was (62.19 +/- 2.45)%, (69.55 +/- 5.84)%, (61.76 +/- 3.68)% when the plasma concentrations were 0.519, 1.288, 2.607 mg x L(-1), respectively. And the protein binding rates of strychnine were (54.79 +/- 3.55)%, (57.13 +/- 4.49)%, (59.31 +/- 3.65)% when the plasma concentrations were 0.940, 2.338, 4.674 mg x L(-1), respectively.

CONCLUSIONBrucine and strychnine have medium capacity in binding to plasma protein. In comparison with the single component of the same concentration, the protein binding rate of brucine in total alkaloids shows little difference, while there seems to be an obvious decrease for strychnine.

Androgen insensitivity syndrome (AIS) is a recessive single gene disease of X chromosome, which is rare clinically and has a very low incidence in newborn boys. This is mainly due to the abnormal pathway in which androgens play a role, resulting in sexual differentiation disorder in patients. A pair of identical twins were admitted to our hospital, and a new pathogenic mutation site of the androgen receptor gene was found, resulting in an androgen insensitivity phenotype.

Objective:To investigate the safety and curative effect of transumbilical single-incision laparoscopy with fascial platform for ovarian cystectomy.Methods:The clinical data of 105 patients underwent laparoscopy ovarian cystectomy in Fujian Maternity and Child Health Hospital from June 2018 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 45 patients underwent transumbilical single-incision laparoscopy with fascial platform for ovarian cystectomy (observation group), and 60 patients underwent multi-port laparoscopy for ovarian cystectomy (control group). The operative time, intraoperative bleeding, conversion to open surgery, cyst rupture, surgical collateral injury, postoperative exhaust time, postoperative hospital stays, hospitalization cost and postoperative infection, etc were recorded. The face rating scale (FRS) was used to evaluate the pain at 6 and 24 h after operation; the incision satisfaction was evaluated by the Kiyak satisfaction scale at 2 months after operation.Results:The operation was carried out successfully in both groups without surgical collateral injury or conversion to open surgery. There were no significant differences in operative time, intraoperative bleeding, postoperative hospital stays, hospitalization cost, cyst rupture rate and postoperative infection rate between 2 groups ( P>0.05); the postoperative exhaust time and FRS 6 and 24 h after operation in observation group were significantly less than those in control group: (22.1 ± 3.5) h vs. (23.9 ± 3.8) h, 1 (0, 2) scores vs. 2 (1, 4) scores and 1 (0, 1) scores vs. 1 (0, 2) scores, the incision satisfaction score was significantly higher than that in control group: 5 (4, 5) scores vs. 4 (3, 4) scores, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.05 or <0.01). Conclusions:Transumbilical single-incision laparoscopy with fascial platform for ovarian cystectomy is safe and feasible, with concealed incision and high patient satisfaction, and has good clinical application value.

Objective To explore the possible mechanism of activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis herbs in the treatment of endometriosis (EM) with network pharmacology approach. Methods Seven kinds of commonly used activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis herbs, such as: peach kernel, safflower, zeilan, salvia miltiorrhiza, leonuri, radix cyathulae, and wang buliuxing were selected as the research subjects. TCMSP platform, a database of traditional Chinese medicine chemical ingredients, was used to retrieve the effective ingredients of 7 herbs. The targets of the effective ingredients were obtained through the Targets information software. GeneCards database was used to collect EM related target genes. Venn diagram tool was used to obtain the target genes of active ingredients of activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis herbs. Cytoscape 3.6.0 software was used to construct the active ingredient-target-disease network. KEGG database was used to analyze the signal pathways of target gene enrichment. Results A total of 94 active ingredients and 119 targets of 7 herbs were screened. Quercetin, luteolin and kaempferol were the key active components. PTGS2, PTGS1, NCOA2 and NCOA1 were the key targets. The 7 herbs have 20 related KGEE pathways, involving sex hormones, inflammation, apoptosis and angiogenesis. PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, IL-17 signaling pathway, TNF signaling pathway were the main pathways. Conclusion The treatment of EM with activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis herbs has the characteristics of multiple components, multiple targets and multiple pathways, which can relieve the pain, inflammation and menstrual disorders symptoms of EM.
