Objective To investigate the changes of nitric oxide content and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) activity in rat brain tissues after explosive craniocerebral wound and observe the influence of emodin on these changes. Methods After rats were subjected to electric detonators, emodin (10 mg/kg) was injected intraperitoneally at 10 minutes. Water content of brain tissues was measured by using dry-wet methods. The content of nitric oxide and the activity of iNOS were measured at 2, 4, 12 and 24 hours respectively after wound by means of nitrade reductase and colorimctrie method. Results The content of nitric oxide and the activity of iNOS kept at a high level (P<0.01). The content of nitric oxide and the activity of iNOS in model group were increased significantly and reached peak at 2 hours after wound. While the content of nitric oxide and the activity of iNOS in emodin group were significantly lower than that in model group (P<0.01). Conclusion Emodin plays a role in decreasing water content of brain tissues and inhibiting activity of iNOS and may exert a protective effect on brain injury during pathological course after explosive craniocerebral wound.

Objective To evaluate dual-source dual-energy CT(DSCT) for the differentiation of urinary stone composition in vitro. Methods Ninety-seven urinary stones were obtained by endoscopic lithotripsy and scanned using dual-source dual-energy CT. The stones were divided into six groups according to infrared spectroscopy stone analysis: uric acid ( UA ) stones ( n = 10 ), cystine stones ( n = 5 ), struvite stones( n = 6), calcium oxalate ( CaOx ) stones ( n = 22 ), mixed UA stones ( n=7 ) and mixed calcium stones(n=47). Hounsfield units (HU) of each stone were recorded for the 80 kV and the 140 kV datasets by hand-drawing method. HU difference, HU ratio and dual energy index ( DEI ) were calculated and compared among the stone groups with one-way ANOVA. Using dual energy software to determine the composition of all stones, results were compared to infrared spectroscopy analysis. Results There were statistical differences in HU difference [(-17±13), (229±34),(309 ±45), (512 ±97), (201±64)and (530±71) HU respectively], in HU ratio (0.96±0.03, 1.34 ±0.04, 1.41 ±0.03, 1.47 ±0.03,1.30±0.07, and 1.49 ±0.03 respectively), and DEI( -0.006 ±0.004, 0.064 ±0.007, 0.080 ±0. 007, 0. 108±0.011 ,0. 055 ±0.014 and 0. 112 ±0.008 respectively ) among different stone groups(F=124. 894,407.028, 322. 864 respectively, P <0. 01 ). There were statistical differences in HU difference,HU ratio and DE1 between UA stones and the other groups( P < 0. 01 ). There were statistical differences in HU difference, HU ratio and DEI between CaOx or mixed calcium stones and the other four groups (P<0. 01 ). There was statistical difference in HU ratio between cystine and struvite stones ( P < 0. 01 ). There were statistical differences in HU difference, HU ratio and DEI between struvite and mixed UA stones (P<0. 05 ). Dual energy software correctly characterized 10 UA stones, 4 cystine stones, 22 CaOx stones and 6 mixed UA stones. Two struvite stones were considered to contain cystine. One cystine stone, 1 mixed UA stone, 4 struvite stones and 47 mixed calcium stones were considered to contain oxalate. Conclusions DSCT has the ability to differentiate urinary stone composition in vitro. With dual energy software, the UA, cystine and mixed UA stones can be differentiated from other types of stones.

Objective To investigate the feasibility and efficacy of transurethral prostate enucleation with 2 μm laser in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Methods One hundred and seven patients with BPH were treated by transurethral prostate enucleation with 2 μm laser under continuous epidural anesthesia or laryngeal mask anesthesia. The patient′s, average age was 67±9 yrs (52 to 85 yrs). Of whom, 10 patients had a history of urinary retention. The mean prostate volume was 72.5±17.6 ml (45 to 158 ml). Two deep trenches were cut at the 5 and 7 o, clock position from the bladder neck to the verumontanum. The incision continued to the urethral mucosa and submucosa along with the verumontanum bilaterally in an arc-shape and ended at the internal arc of urethral sphincter. Then the urethral mucosa at the level of the verumontanum was cut and the surgical capsule plane was identified. A retrograde blunt dissection was made along the surgical capsule plane with the resectoscope sheath front-end, and the sheath was swung from side to side to extend the capsule plane. The significantly enlarged middle lobe was treated with laser vaporization resection. In the same way, a trench was made at the 12 o, clock position, and the lateral lobe were removed by the sheath from the verumontanum level, finally only two cord-like pedicles were kept at the 1 and 11 o, clock position at the bladder neck, so that the removed gland tissue was fixed and hung in the gland fossa. For prostate volume less than 60 ml, the laser vaporization resection was carried out directly. If the prostate volume was greater than 60ml, transurethral resection would be performed instead of laser vaporization resection. With 4% mannitol irrigation, the enucleated prostate tissue was then cut into small pieces and washed out by a Braun plastic bottle through the resectoscope sheath. Intraoperative bleeding, operative time, catheterization time, postoperative voiding status, maximum urinary flow rate (Qmax) and length of hospital stay were recorded and analyzed. Results All patients successfully completed the transurethral prostate enucleation. The average operative time was 74±12 min (45-150 min). Five cases required blood transfusion. There was no recorded urethral stricture and no urinary incontinence except for one patient who recovered 1 mon after the operation. The follow-up time was 2-6 mon. The average Qmax was 6.3±0.6 ml/s before and increased to 17.5±1.5 ml/s after the operation. The international prostate symptom score (IPSS) and quality of life (QOL) were reduced from 26.4±5.5 and 4.6±0.5 to 9.3±2.1 and 2.8±0.3 after the operation, respectively, P<0.01. Postoperative secondary bleeding was not observed. Conclusions Transurethral prostate enucleation with 2 μm laser for BPH is a safe and effective minimally invasive treatment. Its efficacy is superior to open surgery, and even better than TURP.
