Objective To explore the optimum time of removal of preoperative double J stent before adjuvant radiotherapy in cervical cancer. Meth?ods A total of 90 patients with cervical cancer who underwent radical surgery between January 2014 and March 2015 were retrospectively analyzed. In addition,these recruited patients also underwent preoperative placement of double J stent and had them removed before the adjuvant radiotherapy. The patients were then divided into three groups based on the time of removal of double J stent. Group A(n=21)had the stent removed 2 to 4 weeks after the surgery;group B(n=46)had the stent removed 4 to 5 weeks after the surgery;group C(n=23)had the stent removed greater than or equal to 5 weeks after the surgery. The complications caused by stent placement and their improvement after stent removal were compared among the three groups. Finally,the optimum time of stent removal was determined. Results The overall incidence of complications caused by stent placement in group B(23.91%)was significantly lower(P<0.05)than that in group A(47.62%)and group C(56.52%). The most frequent among these complications were bladder irritation(8.70%)and fever(8.70%). The incidence of hydronephrosis exacerbation after stent removal in group A (28.57%)was significantly higher(P<0.05)than that in group B(6.52%)and group C(4.35%). All the other complications were alleviated or disappeared after the removal in all the three groups. There were no significant difference(P>0.05)among the three groups concerning glomerular filtration rate,serum urea nitrogen,and serum creatinine. Conclusion The incidence of complications caused by preoperative double J stent place?ment increased along with the duration of placement,but the exacerbation of hydronephrosis should be concerned if the stent is removed too early. Therefore,the optimal time of stent removal is 4 to 5 weeks after the surgery.

This study was aimed to explore differential effects of various sections of the velvet antler on promoting cell proliferation in vitro. The NRK-49F cell line from rat kidney fibroblasts was used as the cell model. The cell proliferation rates of the water extracts from the upper, middle and lower section of fresh velvet antler were measured by the MTT method. BCA method was used in the detection of protein concentration. The SDS-PAGE method was used in the analysis of difference composition of the sample protein. The results showed that soluble protein content of the upper, middle and lower section were 17.89, 16.04 and 6.89 mg·mL-1, respectively. From the top to the base, the soluble protein content of velvet antler was decreased. After 24 h treatment, when the protein concentration of the upper and middle section samples of the velvet antler were 800 μg·mL-1 and 600 μg·mL-1, the cell proliferation promoting rates reached the maximum, which were 66.76% and 64.36%, respectively. And when the lower section sample of the velvet antler was 1 000 μg·mL-1, the cell proliferation promoting rates reached the maximum, which was 58.87%. After 48 h treatment, when the upper and middle section samples of the velvet antler were 800μg·mL-1, the cell proliferation promoting rates reached the maximum, which were 219.56% and 215.86%, respectively. And when the lower section sample of the velvet antler was 1 000 μg·mL-1, the cell proliferation promoting rates reached the maximum, which was 169.20%. The velvet antler on the proliferation of cells was much better than the 10% fetal bovine serum. The figure of SDS-PAGE showed the slight difference in the protein composition of three part of the velvet antler. It was concluded that all samples had promoting effects on cell proliferation with concentration-depen-dent, and the main protein in different part of the velvet antler had minor differences.

Biohydrogen production from corncob by dark fermentation was reported for the first time. The effects of the pretreatment condition, substrate concentration and initial pH on the hydrogen production were investigated in batch cultivations. The maximum hydrogen yield of 107.9 mL/g-TVS and hydrogen production rate of 4.2 mL/g-TVS .h(-) were obtained under the condition of 1% HCl pretreating substrate for 30 min, 10 g/L substrate concentration and initial pH8.0. The content of hemicellulose in corncob decreased significantly from 42.2% to 3.0% after HC1 pretreatment. The contents of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin in the acid pretreated corncob decreased slightly in hydrogen producing process. The results indicate that the acid pretreatment of the substrate plays a key role in the conversion of corncob into biohydrogen. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was used to study the changes in the corncob composition during the treatment of chemical-microbial process. It was shown that the amorphous domains of cellulose and hemicellulose were hydrolyzed into fermentable asccharides through HCl pretreatment and the microorganisms had a devastating effect on the crystallinitiy of the cellulose.
