Objective To elucidate the possibility of diagnosing BOO with urodynamic data with indefinite P F findings in patients with BPH. Methods Some urodynamic data besides the P F fin dings were studied in BPH patients,and these were compared between the BOO group and the non BOO group. Results There were 252 patients with BOO and 52 patients without.200 patients had no definite P F findings.Several other parameters were compared between the BOO group and the non BOO group.The rate of prostatic plateau was 87.3% and 53.8%, respectively( P

Objective:To investigate the regulation of acupuncture on γ-interferon (INF-γ) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) of lung cancer-operative cases. Methods: to determine the INF-γ and TNF contents in the blood serum of lung cancer patients by double antibody sandwich immuno-enzymatic method (ELISA); to measure the INF-γ and TNF contents of 30 lung cancer patients in the acupuncture anesthesia group and 30 lung cancer patients in general anesthesia group before the operation and at the 8th days, the 12th day after the operation respectively and make comparison between the two groups. Results:The pre-operation INF-γ contents of the two groups showed no significant difference (P＞0.05); the post-operation INF-γ contents of the two groups showed significant difference at 8th day and 12th day after the operation (P＜0.05); the acupuncture anesthesia group was superior to the general anesthesia group; the self-comparison of the anesthesia group showed significant difference at the 12th day and 8th day after the operation (P＜0.05); the pre-operation TNF contents of the two groups showed no significant difference (P＞0.05) and the post-operation TNF contents of the two groups showed significant difference at the 8th day and 12th day after the operation (P＜0.05). Conclusion:Acupuncture can increase the serum INF-γ and TNF contents of lung cancer patients and therefore regulate the immunity of the patients.

Objective To investigate the prevalence of nodular gastritis,duodenal ulcer before and after eradicative treatment of helicobactor pylori(Hp) infection in children with gastroscopy.Methods This was a retrospective analysis of 1 275 children,age ranging 1 to 16 years old,collected from our hospital in recent 10 years,detecting rates of before eradicative treatment and after eradicative treatment were analyzed.Gastroscopes were analyzed with regard to a possible association with the infection.Results The detecting rate(11.89%) of duodenal ulcer after eradicative treatment was lower than that(17%) before eradicative treatment(P

0.05).There was significant difference of curative effect before and after treatment of children with RAP(?2=6.74,P

Objective To investigate the status and requirement of knowledge of reproduction and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)/sexually transmited disease (STD) in pregnant adolescents with abortion in order to conduct proper interventions. Methods Two hundred and ninety-one unmarried pregnant adolescents below 22 years old with abortion completed questionnaires which involved the information on individual social-demographics characteristics, knowledge of reproduction, AIDS/STD and sex-related beliefs, attitudes and partners. Results Among these 291 adolescents, 37.7% experienced first sexual intercourse before 19 years old, 69.1% performed well in the knowledge of reproduction, and 62.6% and 43.5% did well in the knowledge of AIDS and the knowledge of the other STD, respectively. The rate of implementation of contraception was far less than that of awarenesss of contraception(P<0.05). These pregnant adolescents were not enthusiastic for seeking reproductive knowledge, and 45.0% would like to acquire the knowledge from professionals. Conclusion The knowledge of reproduction and AIDS/STD in the pregnant adolescents is not adequate, and they fail to carry out the proper behaviors of contraception. More education should be conducted on AIDS/STD prevention and contraception among pregnant adolescents.

OBJECTIVETo observe the local tissue oxygenation in acupoint Zusanli (ST36) of patients in critical condition, and to assess the value of applying tissue oxygen measurement via acupoint in clinical practice.

METHODSThirty-six patients with severe illness undergoing invasive positive pressure ventilation (IPPV) were divided into the infected group (n=13) and the non-infected group (n=23). Tissue oxygen pressure (PtO2) in the right acupoint Zusanli was measured with tissue oxygen tension detector when the concentration of inspired oxygen (FiO2) was 40% and 100% respectively, meanwhile, the arterial blood oxygen pressure (PaO2) was also determined to calculate PtO2 index (the ratio of PtO2/PaO2).

RESULTSThere was a positive correlation between PtO2 and PaO2 (P < 0.05); PaO2 in the infected group was lower, and PtO2 index and PtO2 were higher significantly, as compared with those in the non-infected group (all P < 0.05). As FiO2 adjusted from 40% to 100%, the increment of PtO2 in the infected group was significantly higher than that in the non-infected group (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONFor the severely infected patients with obstacle of systemic oxygen delivery, the local tissue oxygen demand of acupoints increases significantly, and the tissue oxygen delivery dependence is enhanced, in this time, the tissue might fulfill the oxygen demand itself through elevating PtO2 index. It is of great significance to monitor tissue oxygen pressure in acupoint to determine the state of local tissue oxygenation in critically illed patients.

AlM: To evaluate the efficacy of intravitreal ranibizumab in idiopathic choroid neovascularization ( lCNV ) , compare the difference of the curative effect between type I and Ⅱof lCNV by optical coherence tomography ( OCT ) , further provide evidence of the to effectiveness of ranibizumab in the treatment of choroidal neovascularization to guide clinical treatment.METHODS:A retrospective analysis on the clinical data who were diagnosed as lCNV between October 2013 and June 2014 in our hospital were carried out. Totally 31 cases ( 9 cases of type I and 22 cases of type Ⅱ) accepted ranibizumab injection voluntarily. All of the patients were evaluated by ophthalmic examination, funduscopy and OCT before and after the injection, classificated according to OCT results. The best -corrected visual acuity ( BCVA) and maximum of edema thickness after ranibizumab treatment at 3mo follow-up were compared. RESULTS: After statistically analyzed, BCVA and maximum thickness of the retinal lesions of 31 patients (type I9 cases, type Ⅱ 22 cases) before and 1, 3mo after treatment had statistical significance. ln different types of retinal lCNV patients, BCVA and maximum thickness of the retinal lesions before and after treatment had no statistical significance. lt was said that ranibizumab intravitreal injection had effectiveness for lCNV, however, there were no significant effectiveness for typeI andⅡ lCNV.CONCLUSlON: Ranibizumab intravitreal injection has obvious effectiveness for lCNV. However, it has no effect on type I and Ⅱ lCNV. lts safety and long - term complications need for further study.
