Objective To explore the effect of incision of the cervix renal calices for the treatment of complex intrarenal sinus renal calculi. Methods 52 cases of complex intrarenal sinus renal calculi with upper and/or lower calyx serious hydrops treated by incision of the cervix renal calices were studied.There were 38 men and 14 women.The mean age was 43 years (range,21 to 70 years).The mean diameter of the stones was 4.2 cm. Results The stones were totally removed in 44 cases.8 cases with residual stones were treated by percutaneous nephrolithotomy. The residual stones were totally removed in 4 cases while other 4 cases accepted further treatment with extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL).No blood transfusion and postoperative bleeding were observed.24 cases were followed up of 0.5 to 4 years.KUB plus IVU were conducted postoperatively which showed improved hydronephrosis.No intrarenal stricture and renal calculi recurrence were observed. Conclusions The procedure has advantages of less bleeding,preservating more renal function,less postoperative complications,which has a good application in the treatment of complex intrarenal sinus renal calculi with upper and/or lower calyx serious hydrops.

Objective To evaluate the effect of ultrasound ablation transluminally(USATL) for deep venous thrombosis(DVT) of lower extremities. Methods The clinical features of 47 patients with DVT of lower extremities treated by USATL were retrospectively analyzed. Results 5 cases were changed to surger because of a long disease course(4 months～4 years) or chronic inflammation.42 cases had satisfactory results with USATL.Among them,36 cases restored to complete return venous flow;6 had partial return flow. The symptoms and signs of 42 cases were alleviated apparently compared with pretreatment.1 case died of the rectal cancer metastasis 2 months after the treatment.Conclusions USATL can ablate DVT safely ,effectively, and conveniently.Some other transluminal angioplasties are necessary to improve the therapeutic result.

Objective: To study the antioxidant activity of Clematis chinensis Osbeck polysaccharide(CCP).Methods:① To assay the scavenging activity of CCP on hydroxyl radical and superoxide anion in vitro.② To analyze the effect of CCP on red blood cell autoxidation hemolysis induced by H2O2 by colorimetry.③ To study the effect of CCP on acute hepatic injury of the mice induced by carbon tetrachloride.Results: CCP could eliminate the hydroxyl free radical and the superoxide anion free radical,reduce red blood cell autoxidation hemolysis induced by H2O2,raise the activities of SOD and GSH-Px in hepatic injury mice's serum and liver apparently,reduce the content of MDA and liver index notably.Conclusion: CCP has the significantly action of anti oxidation activity in vitro and in vivo which relates to removing oxygen free radical.

Objective To analyse postoperative co mp lications of ultrasonic ablation and transluminal therapy in patients of deep v enous thrombosis(DVT) in the lower extremities. Meth ods In this study, 205 DVT patients with a history fro m 6h to 90d were treated by a combination of ultersonic ablation、Fogarty ca theter thrombectomy、balloon dilatation and stent placement. Results Major complications developed in 37 cases (18.05%) including vein perforation, thrombosis, bleeding and anaphylaxis to contrast medium, except for minor complications such as lymph exudation. The re was no mortality in this series. Conclusions This procedure is safe, miniinvasive and effective therap y for DVT patients.

Objective To systematically evaluate the curative effect and safety of treating winter diseases in summer acupoint application therapy for asthma in children.Methods The domestic and international databases were retrieved till Feb 2017.The randomized controlled trials about treatment of treating winter diseases in summer acupoint application therapy for children with asthma were identified.The methodology quality of included trials was assessed.Results A total of 3 RCT involving 146 patients were included.The compositions of Chinese medicines and acupuncture points used were quite diverse,which inhibited us to conduct meta-analysis.The methodological quality of included RCT was generally lower.The results showed that treating winter diseases in summer acupoint application therapy might have advantage in reducing asthma acute attack times and improving clinical symptoms and respiratory function.Conclusion treating winter diseases in summer acupoint sticking therapy for asthma in children may have some advantages,however,due to the lack of a number of trials and poor methodology quality,the claimed benefits of treating winter diseases in summer acupoint sticking therapy for for children with asthma are inconclusive;more rigorous studies are warranted to support clinical practice.

Aim To investigate the effects of Shaoqiduogan(SQDG)on cellular immunity in mice with delayed-type hypersensitivity(DTH). Methods DTH model induced by 2, 4-dinitrochlorobenzene(DNCB)and cyclophosphamide(Cy)suppressed and potentiated DTH model were used. SQDG(30, 60 and 120 mg ? kg-1)were given intragastrically(ig)once daily for 7 consecutive days. Concanavalin A(Con A)-induced T cells proliferation was measured by MTT assay. The activity of IL-2 in culture supernatants of Con A-induced T cells proliferation was measured by testing its ability to support the proliferation of Con A stimulated thymocytes which was detected by MTT assay. Results In mice with DTH, SQDG(120 mg?kg-1)reduced ear swelling, thymus index, Con A-induced T cells proliferation and the activity of IL-2 in culture supernatants of Con A-induced T cells proliferation. The suppression and potentiation of DTH in mice were induced by given an intraperitoneal(ip)injection of Cy at the dose of 150mg?kg-1 on primary sensitization day and 250 mg?kg-1 three days before primary sensitization. SQDG(60 and 120 mg?kg-1)upregulated ear swelling, Con A-induced T cells proliferation and the activity of IL-2 in culture supernatants of T cells from mice with Cy-suppressed DTH; and downregulated levels of the aforementioned indexes in mice with Cy-potentiated DTH. Conclusion SQDG possesses a dual modulatory effect on cellular immunity in mice.

Objective To investigate the effect of hyperglycemia on the risk of early death after microinvasive evacuation of hematoma in patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (SICH).Methods Patients with SICH received microinvasive evacuation of hematoma were analyzed retrospectively.The laboratory results including medical history,baseline clinical information,imaging examination,and blood glucose of the patients were collected.The patients were divided into either a death group or a survival group according to whether they died or not at day 30 after procedure.Multivariatelogistic regression analysis was used to determine the independence risk factors for early death after procedure,Results A total 321 patients with SICH received microinvasive evacuation of hematoma were enrolled during the study,63 in the death group and 258 in the survival group.The proportions of age (63.18 ± 11.93 years vs.59.05 ± 12.73 years; t=2.341,P=0.019),baseline hematoma volume (median [M],interquartile range [IQR]:(67 [42-75] ml vs.40 [34-65] ml; U=4.681,P＜0.001),National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score (M,IQR:26 [9-36] vs.17 [7-24]; U=2.508,P=0.012),and baseline hyperglycemia(46.0％ vs.26.4％ ;x2 =9.296,P =0.002) of the death group were significantly higher than those of the survival group.Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age ≥65 years (odds ratio [OR]2.594,95％ confidence interval [CI] 1.118-3.768; P=0.034),baseline hyperglycemia (OR 3.813,95％ CI2.093-10.867; P=0.027),baseline hematoma volume ≥80 ml (OR 19.773,95％ CI 8.352-31.624; P＜0.001),and NIHSS score ≥15 (OR 9.145,95％ CI 4.195-15.733; P=0.019) were the independent risk factors for early death after microinvasive evacuation of hematoma in patients with SICH.Conclusions Hyperglycemia on admission may be an independent risk factor for early death after microinvasive evacuation of hematoma in patients with SICH.
