Objective To investigate the correlation of clinical stage and treatment plan with prognosis in incidental prostatic carcinoma.Methods From 2004 to 2010,a total of 1076 patients diagnosed as BPH underwent transurethral plasma kinetic enucleation of prostate (TUPKEP) in our hospital,and their clinical data were respectively analyzed.Among them,42 cases were found to have incidental prostatic carcinoma.The correlation of clinical stage and treatment plan with prognosis in incidental prostatic carcinoma were observed.Results Among 1076 BPH patients undergoing TUPKEP operation,42 cases (3.9％) aged 56-88 years were found to have incidental prostatic carcinoma,which all displayed as prostatic adenocarcinoma including 18 cases at T1 a stage and 24 cases at T1b stage.10 cases received endocrinal therapy,14 cases received bilateral orchiectomy,14 cases underwent radical prostectomy and 4 cases were treated with watchful waiting.Patients were followed up for 24 to 96 months.The survival rates were 100.0％ and the rates of progression were 0.0％,20.0％,0.0％ in T1 a patients received watchful waiting,androgen-deprivation therapy and radical prostectomy,respectively.Total survival rate was 100.0％ and total rate of progression was 11.1％ in T1a patients.The survival rates were 71.4％,100.0％ and the rates of progression were 42.9％,0.0％ in T1 b patients received androgen-deprivation therapy and radical prostectomy,respectively.Total survival rate was 83.3 ％ and total rate of progression was 25.0 ％ in T1 b patients.Compared with T1 b patients,the total survival rate was higher (x2=18.19,P＜0.01) and the rate of progression was lower in T1 a patients (x2 =6.52,P＜0.05).Conclusions The survival rate in T1 a patients accepted androgen-deprivation therapy is similar to that in T1 a patients with watchful waiting.Compared with T1a patients,the survival rate is lower but the rate of progression is higher in T1 b patients received active androgen-deprivation therapy.The survival rate is higher in T1 b patients treated with radical prostectomy than in those received other treatments.Watchful waiting is acceptable for T1 a patients.T1 b patients should be treated with radical prostectomy for a better effect.

0 05) After one year,plasma cortisol of the patients in either inhaled FP 500 ?g group or 750 ?g group was within normal rang Conclusions Long term inhaled FP with 500 ?g to 750 ?g per day is effective in moderate to severe asthma patients and has no significant suppression on adrenal cortex function

Objective To explore the value of real‐time three‐dimensional speckle tracking imaging (RT‐3D‐STI) in the early detection of globle and regional left ventricular myocardial systolic function in patients of coronary stenosis without regional wall motion abnormality. Methods 64 coronary stenosis patients without regional wall motion abnormality were divided into 2 groups according to angiography (CAG):without coronary stenosis group( n = 20) and coronary stenosis group ( n = 44), and all the myocardial segments of the patients were divided into 5 groups:without coronary stenosis group normal myocardial segments ( n = 340 ), coronary stenosis group normal myocardial segments ( n = 235 ), mild coronary stenosis myocardial segments( n = 126), moderate coronary stenosis myocardial segments( n =213) and severe coronary stenosis myocardial segments( n =174). Real‐time three‐dimensional full volume of left ventricle was obtained, left ventricular global area strain (GAS)and regional area strain(AS) of 17 myocardial segments, etc, were measured by RT‐3D‐STI respectively. The parameters between the two groups and among the five sub groups were compared, the correlation between GAS and coronary artery Gensini score was also analyzed. Results GAS in coronary stenosis group significantly reduced compared with without coronary stenosis group( P <0 0.5) S.egmental AS gradually reduced with the increasing of the degree of the coronary stenosis. There was no statistically difference of segmental AS among without coronary artery group normal myocardial segments, coronary stenosis group normal myocardial segments and mild coronary stenosis myocardial segments( P >0 0.5) S.egmental AS in moderate and severe coronary stenosis myocardial segments significantly reduced ( P < 0.05 ), and that in severe coronary stenosis myocardial segments was lower than that in moderate coronary stenosis myocardial segments, the differences were statistically significant ( P < 0.05 ). In addition, GAS was significantly correlated with coronary artery Gensini score( r =0.828, P <0.01). Conclusions RT‐3D‐STI can quantitatively assess the early changes of left ventricular globle and regional myocardial systolic function in patients with coronary stenosis.

Objective To evaluate the effect of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) on anoxiareoxygenation (A/R)-induced injury to neonatal rat cardiomyocytes incubated in high glucose medium.Methods Cardiomyocytes were obtained from 1-3-day old Sprague-Dawley rats and cultured in the culture medium containing 15％ bovine calf serum and then seeded onto 6-well plates at a density of 10 × 105/ml (3 ml/well).The cells were randomly divided into 5 groups (n =9 each):normal glucose medium control group (NG group),high glucose medium group (HG group),high glucose medium + A/R group (HG+ A/R group),high glucose medium + A/R + CGRP group (HG + A/R + CGRP group),and high glucose medium + A/R + CGRP+ CGRP8-37 group (HG + A/R + CGRP + CGRP8-37 group).The cells were incubated in normal glucose (5.5 mmol/L) medium for 72 h in NG group.In HG group,the cells were incubated in high glucose (25.0 mmol/L) medium for 72 h.In HG + A/ R group,the cells were incubated in high glucose medium for 72 h and then exposed to 3 h of anoxia followed by 2 h of reoxygenation.In group HG + A/R + CGRP,the cells were incubated in high glucose medium for 72 h,CGRP (final concentration 10-8 mol/L) was then added to the culture media and the cells were incubated for 1 h and then underwent A/R.In HG + A/R + CGRP + CGRP8-37 group,the cells were incubated in high glucose medium for 72 h,CGRP (final concentration 10 8 mol/L) was then added to the culture media and the cells were incubated for 1 h and then underwent A/R.In HG + A/R + CGRP + CGRP8-37 group,the cells were incubated in high glucose medium for 72 h,CGRP8-37 (final concentration 10-8 mol/L) and CGRP8-37 (CGRP receptor antagonist,final concentration 10-7 mol/L) was then added to the culture media and the cells were incubated for 1 h and then underwent A/R.Apoptosis in cardiomyocytes was detected using TUNEL and apoptosis index (AI) was calculated.The lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity in the culture medium was analyzed.Results AI and LDH activity were significantly higher in HG group than in NG group,and in HG + A/R group than in HG group.Compared with HG + A/R group,AI and LDH activity were significantly decreased in HG + A/R + CGRP group,while no significant changes were found in HG + A/R + CGRP + CGRP8-37 group.Compared with HG + A/R + CGRP group,AI and LDH activity were significantly increased in HG + A/R + CGRP + CGRP8-37 group.Conclusion CGRP attenuates A/R-induced injury to neonatal rat cardiomyocytes incubated in high glucose medium via combing with CGRP receptor.

Objective To compare the clinical efficacy and safety between transurethral plasma kinetic enucleation of prostate(TUPKEP) and transurethral resection of prostate(TURP) on benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH). Methods One hundred and forty two BPH patients were divided into two groups:TUPKEP group (72 cases) and TURP group (70 cases). Seventy two cases aged 52-90 years[mean age (70. 5±7.6) years] with prostate weight of 27-126 g [mean weight (75. 6±10. 3)g] underwent TUPKEP, and seventy cases aged 51-87 years[mean age (70. 2±6. 8) years] with prostate weight of 25-118 g[mean weight (73.8±9.9)g] underwent TURP. There were no significant differences in age, weight of the prostate, international prostate symptom score(IPSS), residual urine volume(RUV) ,maximum urinary flow rate (Qmax) and quality of life (QOL) scores between the two groups before operation (t=0. 2873, 1.0612, 1. 0832,0. 9522,0. 0000, 1. 0774;P=0. 7743,0. 2904, 0. 2806,0. 3426,1. 0000,0. 2832). The operative time, intraoperative blood loss, the preserved time of installing catheter, hospitalization time, postoperative morbidity rate and efficacy were compared between the two groups. Results The operation success rates were 100. 0% (72/72) in TUPKEP group and 98.6% (69/70) in TURP group. The average operation time were (46.2±6.4)min and (58. 4±9. 6)min (t±8. 9404, P=0.0000), and the mean intraoperative blood loss were (105.9± 12.2)ml and (148.6±14.3) ml(t=19. 1608, P=0.0000) in TUPKEP and TURP groups respectively. The mean preserved time of installing catheter were (3. 5±1.0)d and (5.0±1.0)d(t= 8. 9364, P=0. 0000), and the average hospitalization time were (5.1±1.9) d and (7.0±2.6) d (t= 4. 9819,P=0.0000)in the two groups, respectively. In TUPKEP group, there was one case of temporary urinary incontinence, two cases of secondary prostate hemorrhage and one case of external orifice stricture of urethra, with a complication rate of 5.56%. In TURP group, there were two cases of transurethral resection syndrome (TURS), one case of urinary extravasation, two cases of temporary urinary incontinence, three cases of secondary prostate hemorrhage and two cases of external orifice stricture of urethra, with a complication rate of 14.29% . Compared with preoperation, Qmax was obviously increased and IPSS,RUV, QOL scores were decreased after follow- up for 3 months, but there were no significant differences in these parameters between the two conditions(t=1. 1131,0. 2543,1. 2959,0. 7252;P=0. 2676,0. 7996,0. 1971,0. 4696). Canclusions TUPKEP and TURP have similar efficacy in the treatment of BPH, but TUPKEP is a method with shorter operation time, less blood loss, lower postoperative complication rate and more safety than TURP.

Objective To investigate the risk factors and treatment of postoperative delirium in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH). Methods　For 256 postoperrative BPH patients in our department,the clinical parameters including age,hypoxemia,preoperative infection,postoperative pain,and introvert were analyzed,and the treatment were summarized. Results　The incidence of postoperative delirium was higher in patients aged≥75 years than＜75 years[17.4%(19/109)vs.5.4%(8/147),X2=8.307,P=0.0043,higher in patients with preoperative infection (pulmonary or urinary)versus without the infection[15.0%(17/113)vs.7.0%(10/143),X2=4.337,P=0.037],higher in patients with hypoxia versus without hipoxia[16.5%(16/97).vs.6.9%(111159),X2=4.885,P=0.027]and higher in patients with post-operative pain versus without the pain(16.9%(10/59)vs.1.2%(1/85),X2=10.146,P=0.0014].Hematocrit and hemoglobin in patients with postoperative delirium were lower after operation versus pre-operation[(0.29±0.04)vs.(0.42±0.04),t=12.2314,P＜0.001;(102.39±6.58)g/L vs.(114.58±8.36)g/L,t=5.9537,P＜0.001].All delirium patients were recovered after sedation treatment,improving the quality of sleep,controlling the infection and correcting electrolyte turbulence. Conclusions　Advanced age,hypoxemia,preoperative infection,postoperative pain are important risk factors for delirium.

Objective To investigate the effects of substance P on anoxia/reoxygenation (A/R) injury to cardiomyocytes of neonatal rats.Methods Cardiomyocytes of neonatal rats were isolated from Sprague-Dawley rats,aged 1-3 days,and were cultured in 6-well plates for 72 h.The cardiomyocytes were then assigned into 4 groups (n =3 each) using a random number table:control group (group C),A/R group,substance P group (group SP) and substance P + D-SP group (group SP + D-SP).The cells were cultured routinely for 6 h in group C and the cells were exposed to 99.9 ％ N2 in an incubator at 37 ℃ for 3 h followed by reoxygenation for 2 h in the other groups.The cells were incubated with substance P with the final concentration of 10-7 mol/L for 1 h before anoxia in group SP.The cells were incubated for 1 h with substance P with the final concentration of 10-7 mol/L and D-SP (a specific antagonist of neurokinin-1 receptor) with the final concentration of 10-6 mol/L before anoxia in group SP + D-SP.The apoptosis rate and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity were detected at the end of reoxygenation using TUNEL assay and LDH assay kit,respectively.Results Compared with C group,the apoptosis rate and LDH activity were significantly increased in A/R,SP and SP+ D-SP groups.Compared with A/R group,the apoptosis rate and LDH activity were significantly decreased in SP and SP + D-SP groups.Compared with SP group,the apoptosis rate and LDH activity were significantly increased in SP + D-SP group.Conclusion Substance P can attenuate A/R injury to cardiomyocytes of neonatal rats,and activation of neurokinin 1 receptors is involved in the mechanism.

Objective:To explore the efficacy and safety of different surgical methods in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) patients with negative cervical lymph nodes (cN0) and to provide theoretical basis for the selection of surgical procedures. Methods:A total of 225 PTC cN0 patients were selected and divided into two groups according to the operation method. Only 110 patients underwent total thy-roidectomy, whereas the 115 cases in the lobectomy group underwent ipsilateral lobectomy and isthmus resection. Al patients were treated with ipsilateral central lymph node dissection. We analyzed both groups of patients in terms of surgery, hospitalization, pathological characteristics, complications, follow-up, and recurrence. Results:(1) The length of incision, blood loss, operation time, and length of stay were not significantly different between the two groups (P>0.05). (2) In the total resection group, the number of multiple foci of the cancer cases was significantly more than that of the lobectomy patients (P<0.05). The average tumor diameter in both groups were not significantly different (P>0.05). Between the two groups, the number of central lymph node dissection and total lymph node metastasis, and the number of cases with central lymph node metastasis were not significantly different (P>0.05). Likewise, the incidence rates of mistakenly cut parathyroid, extremely low blood calcium levels, temporary larynx return nerve paralysis, and superior laryngeal nerve injury were not significantly different between the two groups (P>0.05). No permanent hypocalcemia or permanent recurrent laryngeal nerve injury occurred. (3) All patients were followed up for 2-4.5 years. No recurrent cases were reported in the total resection group. For the lobectomy group, 8 patients with adenocarcinoma had contralateral tumor metastasis and underwent contralateral lobe resection, whereas 4 patients suffered from ipsilateral neck lymph node metastasis at the side area and underwent functional lymph node clearance. Significant differences were noted in the metastasis and recurrence rates between the two groups of patients (P<0.05). No deaths were reported during the follow-up period. Conclusion:For PTC cN0 patients, total thyroidectomy with joint ipsilateral central lymph node clearance can reduce the residual tumor, metastasis, and risk of recurrence,compared with surgery limited to the affected lobe and isthmus. Postoperative complications were not significantly increased.
