Objective To evaluate the value of photodynamic diagnosis for early detection of bladder cancer using narrow band imaging fluorescence cystoscopy. Methods A total of 28 cases of painless hematuria underwent narrow band imaging(NBI) endoscopy and biopsy. The procedure was as follows: biopsies were taken from lesions that were either fluorescing or nonfluorescing using endoscopy by NBI system) and then TUR was performed on them. Results Of the 28 cases, 79 biopsies were taken. Histopathologic examination showed that 32 of them were of urothelial cell carcinoma. Compared with white light cystoscopy, NBI had a sensitivity of 100% (32/32) ,flat small fluorescence positive lesions were found in peritumoral or other regions, which could not be detected by white light cystoscopy. Conclusion Photodynamic diagnosis using NBI fluorescence cystoscopy is useful for detection of early bladder cancer.

Objective To summarize the clinical features,neuroimaging findings and pathological characteristics of demyelinating pseudotumors(DPT)of the brain,and to differentiate it from glioma. Methods The clinical features,neuroimaging findings and pathological characteristics of 35 patients with demyelinating pseudotumors of the brain were summarized,and the diagnosis for 18 of them was confirmed by bioscopy.Results Demyelinating pseudotumors affected adults of both sexes.The onset age of patients ranged from 9 to 69 years old.There was no definite antecedent,and the clinical syndromes were atypical. Neuroimaging scans showed multiple lesions in cerebral hemisphere,while the lesion in brain stem and spinal cord was single.The symptom and neuroimaging were not parallel.While with many or large lesions, the symptoms and signs were less.The lesions were not enhanced on CT scan,but appeared round or patch enhancement on MRI scan.Nine patients with DWI all appeared high density.The myelin basic protein was useful for diagnosis.The typical pathological changes were demyelination,perivascular inflammatory infiltration and reactive gliosis.The Creutzfeuldt cells were also found in these patients.The lesions might become small or disappear after treatment,but could not serve as the criterion to exclude brain neoplasm. Conclusions DPT is a distinct demyelination disease entity,which is confusable with brain neoplasm.It is difficult to distinguish DPT from brain neoplasm with the clinical features and conventional neuroimaging scan.But DWI scan is useful.The pathological changes accord with demyelination,and Creutzfeuldt cells are also found.It is important to apply corticosteroid treatment or biopsy rather than being anxious to excise the lesions.

Objective To investigate the correlation of the middle cerebral artery stenosis (MCAS) and the mild cognitive function impairment (MCI),and the clinical efficacy of statins in patients with MCI. Methods Six hundred and thirty-six patientse,who received transcranial color doppler ultrasound (TCD)assay, were enrolled in our hospital hospitalization or outpatients. The simple mental state examination (MMSE) and clinical dementia rating scale (CDR) were used as cognitive function assessment indexes. Forty-four cases of MCI with MCAS and 58 cases of MCI with NMCAS were used as the treatment group , who received the atorvastatin 20 mg every day , 56 cases of MCI with NMCAS were used as the control group , who only received the routine and basic diseases treatment. One yearlater,we determined the changes of MMSE and CDRagain. Results We detected 124 patients with MCAS, 512 patients with NMCAS, and 44 cases of MCAS patients with MCI, the prevalence was 35.5%,114 cases of NMCAS in patients with MCI, with the prevalence of 22.3%, the prevalence between the two groups was statistically different. One year later, the patients in the treatment group, MMSE score was improved, the score of MCI of the MCAS group improved more significantly. Conclusion The middle cerebral artery stenosis correlated with the occurrence of MCI. Atorvastatin could improve cognitive function in patients with MCI, especially for MCI which was caused by middle cerebral artery stenosis.

Objective To assess the effect of continuous renal-replacement therapy (CRRT) dose on the outcome of acute renal failure (ARF) patients with meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Methods Studies were identified by systematic search of peer-reviewed publications in Medline, EMBASE and Cochrane library database through June 2010. All the RCTs that compared the incidence of clinical outcome such as mortality, need for chronic dialysis between standard and low dose CRRT were eligible. The pooled relative risk (RR) for clinical outcome was compiled using a random-effects model. Heterogeneity was evaluated by means of subgroup and sensitivity analysis. Results Six eligible studies were identified. By meta-analysis, standard dose CRRT was associated with non-significant 13% mortality risk reduction (RR 0.87, 95%CI 0.70-1.07, P=0.19)and 13% composite outcome risk reduction of chronic dialysis dependence and mortality (RR 0.87, 95%CI 0.69-1.09, P=0.21), but the trend toward increased chronic dialysis dependence risk among survivors (RR 1.43, 95%CI 0.94-2.18, P=0.09). The overall test for heterogeneity among cohort studies was significant (P=0.001, I2=76.2%). The risk of mortality was modality was significantly lower in some studies of which delivered dose was moer than 35 ml·kg-1·min-1,modality was continuous venous-venous hemofiltration (CVVH) and major cause was non-sepsis treated with standard dose CRRT. Conclusions Standard dose CRRT in patients with ARF does not improve survival, renal recovery and composite outcome, but decreases mortality in important subgroups including those with higher delivered dose, CVVH and non-sepsis.

Objective To explore the clinical features, imaging and their diagnosis vaule of Baló's concentric sclerosis (BCS). Methods The clinical manifestation, laboratory examination, neuroimaging characteristics, pathology and follow-up of 12 (2 outpatients and 10 inpatients) cases of BCS were analyzed retrospectively. Results The onset age of 12 patients (male 4, female 8) ranged from 8 to 54 years old (mean 36.8 years). Unconcerned and slowness response were common in the disease onset (7 cases).Other symptoms and signs such as hypophrenia ( 10 cases), limitation of limb or hand movement (8 cases),urinary and fecal incontinence (7 cases), hypo-myodynamia (7 cases), positive pyramidal sign (6 cases)were not rare in course of disease. Eight cases underwent the examination of cerebrospinal fluid myelin basic protein, which increased in 7 cases. Demyelinating change and perivascular inflammatory infiltration were shown in 6 brain biopsies. The involvements of multi-lesions were found in 11 cases. Four patients underwent CT scanning and all the cases showed with hypodense lesions and couldn' t be enhanced. On MRI, all cases appeared round or round-like in shape. Enhanced lesions showed ring-like or half-ting-like shape (8 cases) and concentric ring (3 cases). It's easy to be misdiagnosed as brain tumor (8 cases).Conclusions BCS is a kind of demyelinating disease of subacute or chronic onset accompanied with cognitive disorder being the most common initiating symptoms. It's prone to be misdiagnosed. Diagnosis depends on MRI and corticosteroid treatment is effective. BCS has a good prognosis and presents with benign clinical course.
