Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of green light photoselective vaporization(PVP)combined testicular resection plus anti-androgen treatment on advanced prostate cancer and bladder outlet obstruction.Methods Twenty cases with PVP of advanced prostate cancer and bladder outlet obstruction were selected as our subjects,who underwent PVP testicular resection plus anti-androgen treatment.The clinical information was recorded.Results All patients were succeed through surgery.Maximum urinary flow rate (MFR) at the pre-operation was (2.0 ± 1.0) ml/s,and increased to (14.0 ± 4.5) ml/s after operation.Serum prostate specific antigen (PSA) was decreased from the preoperative (176.5 ± 160.5) μg/L to (2.0 ± 1.0)μg/L International prostate symptom score (IPSS) was from (25.0 ± 5.0) down to (8.0 ± 1.0) points.The quality of life (QOL) score was (4.0 ± 2.0) at pre-operation,higher than after operation (1.0 ± 1.0)points.There were significant differences between preoperative and postoperative (t =9.502,7.371,5.328,8.350,P ＜0.05).Every patient was followed up from 3 to 18 months.The improvements regarding of clinical symptoms were seen including voiding,and all patients survived with tumor.Conclusion Advanced prostate cancer associate with bladder outlet obstruction.The therapy plan of PVP joint testicular resection plus antiandrogen is proved to improve symptoms of urethral obstruction and patient quality of life.

Objective To investigate the effects of mifepristone on the ultrastructure of Hofbauer cells in human early pregnant placenta. Methods Twenty 6-9 week pregnant women with indications of pregnancy termination were recruited and randomlied to mifepristone (n=10) and D & C group (n=10).Villi were collected and studied with transmission electron microscope. Results In comparison with the control group,the ultrastructure of Hofbauer cells of mifepristone group showed the following changes: the cells were markedly edematous. The number of cytoplasmic processes of Hofbauer cells deceased obviously. In the cytoplasm of Hofbauer cells,the size of vacuoles enlarged and of mitochondrias minimized.Rough endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi complex were under-developed.Lysosomes were rare.The nuclei enlarged and showed irregular shape. Conclusions Mifepristone may change the phagocytosis'water and electrolyte transportation and immunological function of Hofbauer cells by influencing the ultrastructure of the Hofbauer cells.Therefore it can influence the development of pregnancy.

Objective To investigate the clinical effects of Shenlong decoction(main ingredients consisted of ginsent root,radix polygonimultiflori,Pheretima,Ligusticum wallichii,Fructas Alpiniae oryphyllee etc.)on the treatment of cerebral vascular dementia (VD)in the elderly patients.Methods VD in all the patients(age:72.1?5.3 years old)was diagnosed according to the APA criteria, and the cerebrovascular diseases were confirmed by CT or MRI.68 patients were divided into 2 groups randomly.The experimental group consisting of 36 patients was given Chinese traditional medicine,Shenlong decoction,orally 500ml q.i.d.for 3 months,and the other 32 patients were given acetamide pyrrolidone(piracetam)orally 1.6g,tid for 3 months as a control group.The MMSE(Mini Mental State Examination)and BBS(Bless Behaviour Schedule)were used to evaluate the cognitive function and the daily activity in those patients be- fore and after treatment.Results After treatment,the scores of cognition and daily activity were improved in all the patients with VD. The effective rate in the Shenlong group was 52.8%,and 53.13% in the piracetam group.There was no significant difference in the im- provement of the short time memory and orientation ability between the two groups.However,compared with the control group,the score of daily activity was significantly improved in the Shenlong decoction group only(P

After the training, all trainees would take the theory test and skill assessment Results The basic theory and clinical skill scores of the experimental group are better than the control group at the end of the training. Conclusion Multi-media teaching method is very suitable for ENT refresher training.

Objective To investigate the effect of propofol on the expression of c-fos protein and c-fos mRNA in hippocampus during global cerebral ischemia-reperfusion in rats. Methods Forty male Wistar rats weighing 250-320 g were randomly allocated to one of five groups: group A received sham operation ( n = 8); group B received ischemia-reperfusion (I-R n = 8); group C received intraperitoneal propofol 50 mg?kg-1(C1 n = 8) or 100 mg@kg-1(C2 n = 8) or 150 mg2kg-1(C3 n = 8) 10 min before I-R. The animals were anesthetized with intraperitoneal pentobarbital 40 mg?kg-1.Vertebral arteries were surgically exposed and permanently occluded by coagulation. Bilateral common carotid arteries were exposed. 4-0 silk suture was placed around the arteries. Global cerebral ischemia was induced by lighting the suture for 10 min which was then loosened for reperfusion. At the end of 60 min reperfusion the animals were decapitated on ice and brain was immediately removed. Different brain tissues were either kept in liquid nitrogen ( - 80℃) or fixed in 10% formalin. The changes in c-fos protein in brain was evaluated by immuno-histochemical methods and c-fos mRNA expression in hippocampus was detected using semiquantitative RT-PCR technique.Results The c-fos expression was minimal in sham operation group. I-R induced significant increase in the expression of c-fos protein and c-fos mRNA and propofol significantly inhibited the increase in c-fos expression induced by I-R. The levels of c-fos expression were higher in group C1 than that in group C2 (P 0.05) . Conclusion The study shows that propofol can significantly inhibit expression of c-fos protein and c-fos mRNA induced by global cerebral I-R.
