Objective To observe the effect of electric-impulse stimulation to Jiaji points (EX-B2) on spinal cord injury (SCI). Methods Totally 126 eligible SCI patients were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 63 cases in each group. The control group was intervened by conventional rehabilitation training plus acupuncture, while based on which the treatment group additionally received electric-impulse stimulation to Jiaji points (EX-B2). The spasticity, function, and activities of daily living (ADL) were evaluated 90 d later. Results The spasticity score was significantly changed after intervention in the treatment group(P<0.01). Tendon reflex and spasticity score were significantly changed in the control group (P<0.01). After intervention, there was a significant difference between the two groups in comparing spasticity score (P<0.01). The changes of motor function and sensory function scores in the treatment group were significantly different from that in the control group (P<0.01, P<0.05). The Barthel Index (BI) scores were significantly changed in both groups after intervention (P<0.05). There was a significant difference in comparing the BI score between the two groups after intervention (P<0.05). Conclusion Electric-impulse stimulation to Jiaji (EX-B2) plus conventional rehabilitation training can significantly improve spasticity, and the motor and sensory functions, and promote the recovery of activities of daily living.

Objective To compare the effects of flexible ureterorenoscope holmium laser for treatment of different sizes lower pole caliceal stones. Methods 140 patients with lower pole caliceal stones from August 2011 to April 2015 were enrolled, 40 patients were divided into observation group which the largest stone diameter > 2.0 cm, 100 patients were divided into control group which the largest stone diameter ≤ 2.0 cm. All these patients received flexible ureterorenoscope holmium laser treatment. Then we observe and compare the prognosis. Results The postop﹣erative 3 d and 1 month of gravel success rates were 97.5 % and 80.0 % in observation group, while the control group were 98.0% and 95.0%. The postoperative 1 month of gravel success rates in observation group was signifi﹣cantly lower than that in control group (P< 0.05). The operative time and postoperative hospital stay in observation group were significantly higher than control group (P<0.05). The postoperative 1 month complications of lung infec﹣tion, hematuria, urinary extravasation and so on in observation group were significantly higher than that in control group (P<0.05). The postoperative 3 d creatinine contents in observation group were significantly higher than preop﹣erative (P< 0.05), and significantly higher than that in control group (P< 0.05). The creatinine contents compared between the two groups at other time points were not statistically significant (P> 0.05). Conclusion Compared with small lower pole caliceal stones, the success rate of flexible ureterorenoscope holmium laser treatment of large lower pole caliceal stones is declined, the patients also have some trauma, and the renal function is also fluctuate, postop﹣erative disease is relatively higher that clinically to be carefully chosen.

BACKGROUND:To in vitro isolate neural stem cel s with high purity and uniform biological properties and to establish a complete set of neural stem cel culture system is the basis for neural stem cel research.
OBJECTIVE:To establish an isolation and culture system for neural stem cel s from newborn mouse hippocampus, olfactory bulb and cortex and to analyze the biological properties of cel s.
METHODS:Neural stem cel s were isolated from the hippocampus, olfactory bulb and cortex tissue of newborn Kunming mice by mechanical separation and trypsin digestion. Serum-free culture technology, mechanical pipetting and trypsin digestion were used for subculture of neural stem cel s. 10%fetal bovine serum was used to induce differentiation of neural stem cel s. Neural stem cel s and their differentiated products were identified by
immunofluorescent staining of Nestin, CD133,β-TubulinIII, glial fibril ary acidic protein.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The neural stem cel obtained from newborn mouse hippocampus, olfactory bulb and cortex had the capacity of self-renewal and differentiation which were positive for Nestin and CD133. After induction with fetal bovine serum, neural stem cel could differentiation toβ-tubulinIII or glial fibril ary acidic protein positive cel s that were neurons and astrocytes. This experiment has successful y established the neural stem cel isolation, culture, identification and induction system, providing experimental basis for subsequent studies of neural stem cel s.

Objective To present our experience of dealing with complete penile amputation.Methods Two cases of penile complete amputation were reported.The first case was a 34-year-old man,suffered amputation of the penis approximately 2.5 cm distal from the pubic area with a sharp knife.3.5hours later,the patient was transferred to our hospital.The urethra mucosa and corpus spongiosum were anastomosed.The cavernous body of the penis was reattached by suturing the tunics albuginea of each corpus cavernosum to the corresponding proximal segment.One dorssl artery,two dorsal veins,and dorsal nerve were anastomosed under a 10 × microscope with interrupted 9-0 nylon nonabsorbable sutures.The second case was a 25-year-old man,presented to the emergency room 15 hours after distal penile amputation,which had 2 wounds as a result of self-mutilation caused by psychiatric problems.The urethra mucosa and corpus spongiosum were anastomosed.The cavernous body of the penis was reattached by suturing the tunics albuginea of each corpus cavemosum to the corresponding proximal segment using 4-0 polyglactic acid sutures.Results In the first case,the tourniquet was released after replantation,and the distal penis appeared to revascularize,as noted by the gradual increase in redness and size.An arterial pulse was detected,and the superficial penile veins displayed normal turgor,and no bleeding was found.On postoperative day 3,the penile skin started to necrotize.On day 12,the necrotic skin was superficially debrided,and a fistula was observed in the corresponding urethral segment.Two weeks later,the fistula was sutured with 4-0 interrupted synthetic absorbable suture,and a transposition flap to embed the whole injured penis shaft was created from the proximal scrotal skin.The glans was exposed.Two months after the second operation,the embedded penis was released from the scrotum.After follow-up of two years,the patient had glans re-epithelialization with normal voiding,sensation,and erections.In the second case,the glans was still pink,but the penile skin started to necrotize on postoperative day 3.On day 14,serious infections were noted,the necrotic skin was superficially debrided,and the amputated penis was relieved.Conclusions Prompt diagnosis and early treatment are essential to avoid the potential complications of ischemic necrosis and autoamputation.Venous outflow is a critical factor for success of replantation.Microsurgical reanastomosing of the dorsal penile vein,penile arteries,and dorsal nerves can be identified as the standard method for penile replantation.The bipedicled scrotal flap can provide adequate skin cover for penis defects.
