Objective To investigate CT features of XGC in order to improve pre-operative diagnosis of the disease.Methods The CT features of 6 cases with XGC confirmed by histopathology were analyzed retrospectively.Results The gallbladder walls thick-ened in all 6 cases,diffusely thickened in 4 cases and focally thickened in 2 cases.Hypodensity nodules or bands in thickened walls were seen in all 6 cases.The continuous mucosal lines were observed in 4 cases.After contrast administration,the hypodensity band sign was seen in most cases in artery phase.Stones were found in all 6 gallbladders and in 4 common bile ducts,dilatation of biliary tract was seen in 3 cases.There were hepatic involvement in 5 cases,duodenal,hepatic flexure of the colon and antrum of the stom-ach adhesion with gallbladder was seen in 1 case respectively.Conclusion Hypodensity nodules or bands in thickened gallbladder walls and continuous mucosal line are characteristics of XGC,which are helpful in diagnosis and differential diagnosis.

It is a trend that clinical researchers overemphasize on hypothesis testing and the P value. However, P value has some limitations in the presentation of study results. Power is a tool for study design and results explanation, especially for negative results. Confidence interval contains more information for clinical results than P value. P value, power, and 95% confidence interval should be provided in the clinical reports to facilitate the interpretation of the results.

Objective To investigate effect of laparoscope anesthesia inducted by sevoflurane combined with different doses of propofol on vascular endothelial growth factor-C (VEGF-C) and prostaglandin E2(PGE2)in patients with hysteromyoma.Methods 77 cases of patients with uterine fibroids were selected and divided into two groups.40 cases in group A were anesthetized inducted by 2.0 mg/kg propofol combined with sevoflurane, 37cases in group A were anesthesia inducted by 1.0 mg/kg propofol combined with sevoflurane.VEGF-C and PGE2 in serum were compared before and 48h after the operation.Results Compared with preoperation, VEGF-C and PGE2in serum were lower (P<0.05), VAS score was lower (P<0.05);Compared with group B, VEGF-C and PGE2 in serum of the group A were lower (P<0.05), VAS score was higher (P<0.05).Conclusion Different doses of propofol on serum VEGF-C and PGE2 in patients with laparoscopic uterine fibroids have different effects, 1.0 mg/kg has a sedative effect, 2 0 mg/kg with anesthesia induction.

Objective To investigate the clinical and genetic characteristics of hereditary spastic paraplegia(HSP).Methods The clinical material of 113 patients in 39 families with HSP was analyzed retrospectively.Results The ratio of male to female was 1:1.17.The age at HSP onset was from 2 to 58 years old, the mean age was 21.4 years old, and 81.7% of the patients had HSP before 30. 89.4% of the patients had positive family history and they showed mostly autosomal dominant inheritance. The rate of consanguinity was 28.2%. 24 cases had pure while 89 cases had complicated spastic paraplegia. In the HSP group, we could found the weakness of legs in 65.5% patients, spasticity and hyperreflexia of lower limbs in 96.5%, extensor plantar responses in 68.1%, ataxia in 46.9%, muscular atrophy in 32.7% and dementia in 18.6%.Conclusion In the HSP group, the year of onset was mostly before 30. The female HSP cases were more than the male's, and the complicated cases were more often than the pure. Autosomal dominant was the mostly frequent inheritance, and there were more chances of HSP in the consanguineous families.

Objective To evaluate clinical effects of the transurethral ureteroscopic lithotripsy(URL) and minimally invasive percutaneous nephrolithotomy(MPCNL) in the management of upper ureteral stones.Methods Clinical data of 258 patients diagnosed as having upper ureteral calculi from January 2001 to December 2004 in this hospital were retrospectively analyzed.The patients were given either URL(225 patients) or MPCNL(33 patients).Results Of the URL,the stone-free rate on one session was 73.8%(166/225) and the failure rate was 26.2%(59/225).The causes for the failure included stone movement to the renal pelvic in 42 patients(18.7%,42/225),unsuccessful manipulation in 14 patients(6.2%,14/225),and conversions to open surgery because of ureteral perforation in 1 patient and ureteral rupture in 2 patients(1.3%,3/225).Of the MPCNL,the stone-free rate on one session was 100%(33/33).Conclusions The application of URL can be interfered with ureteral stricture and twist that are secondary to incarcerated ureteral stones.High stone-free rate,low incidence of complications,and satisfactory reliability can be expected using MPCNL,especially in patients with impacted ureteral calculi accompanied with secondary affection at the same side.

Objective To discuss the nursing methods of senile uremia patients during induction period of hemodialysis. Methods Improved nursing methods have been adopted since March 2010 in our department.68 senile uremia inpatients from Match 2010 to March 2011 were selected as the observation group,while 59 inpatients from March 2009 to February 2010 were reviewed as the control group.The incidence of complications was compared between the two groups. Results There were 3 cases of arrhythmia,5 cases of hypotension and 2 cases of disequilibrium syndrome in the observation group,while 11 cases of arrhythmia,16 cases of hypotension and 8 cases of disequilibrium syndrome in the control group.3 patients of the control group died of severe arrhythmia.There was statistical difference of complication incidence between the two groups. Conclusions Cardiovascular events are the most severe complications for senile uremia patients during induction period of hemodialysis,which can be reduced by scientific and reasonable nursing.

Objective To investigate the factors affecting pulse transit time during anesthesia. Methods Sixty cases of gastrointestinal surgery under general anesthesia were investigated.The pulse transit time (PTT),BP and HR were measured at the time before and after intravenous anes-thesia induction,and at the time before and after the injection of vasoactive drugs,respectively. Results Compared to at the time before injection,HR,SBP and DBP increased significantly,and PTT decreased significantly (P <0.01 )at the time after injection of atropine and ephedrine.Com-pared to at the time before injection,HR and PTT increased significantly,while SBP and DBP de-creased significantly (P < 0.01 )at the time after injection of nicardipine.While HR and PTT de-creased significantly,and SBP,DBP increased significantly (P <0.01 )with the injection of pheny-lephrine.Obvious negative correlation between SBP and PTT was observed before and after induc-tion;meanwhile,only weak correlation between DBP and PTT was observed,and no obvious correla-tion between HR and PTT was detected.SBP and PTT were well negatively correlated with the injec-tion of atropine,ephedrine,nicardipine or phenylephrine.Conclusion All the PTT changes during anesthesia were found to be negatively correlated with the systolic blood pressure.

Objective To investigate the effects of angiotensin1-7 (Ang1-7) on renal tubulointerstitial fibrosis of diabetic rats.Methods Thirty-two male Wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups: normal control group,diabetic group,telmisartan group,Ang1-7-treated group.For 9 weeks after diabetes mellitus model established,24 h proteinuria,urine NAG/Cr,glucose,insulin,TG,TC,BUN,Scr,Na+ and K+ were assessed.Renal pathological changes were evaluated by PAS staining; Expression of TGF-β1,PPARγ and α-SMA mRNA was deteeted by real-time PCR; Protein levels of PPARγ,α-SMA and TGF-β1 were detected by Western blotting.Results (1)At the end of the ninth week,the blood pressure,proteinuria,renal weight/body weight in group DM were significantly higher than those in group NC (P<0.05).(2)Renal interstitial fibrosis in group DM was obviously severe as compared to group NC (P<0.05),but was improved in group TM and group T(P<0.05).(3)TGF-β1 and α-SMA mRNA in group DM were significantly increased,and PPARγ mRNA was significantly decreased.Compared with group DM,TGF-β1 and α-SMA mRNA were significantly decreased,and PPARγ mRNA was significantly increased in group TM and group T,especially in group T.(4)TGF-β1 and α-SMA in group DM were significantly increased,and PPARγ decreased significantly.Compared with group DM,TGF-β1 and α-SMA decreased significantly,PPARγ increased significantly in group TM and group T,especially in group T.Conclusion Ang1-7 inhibits high glucose-induced α-SMA expression in vivo through up-regulating the PPAR expression and may inhibit renal tubulointerstitial fibrosis of diabetic rats.
