Objective To study the characteristics and clinical significance of the coronary plaques in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).Methods A total of 91 patients undergoing coronary artery angiography (CAG) were selected and divided into two groups according to with or without BPH,56 cases in BPH group,46 cases in control group.The qualitative and quantitative characteristics of 102 lesions area were analyzed by intravascular ultrosound (IVUS),including external elastic membrane-cross-sectional area (EEM-CSA),minimal lumen area (MLA),plaques area (PA),plaques burden (PB),reference external elastic membrane-cross-sectional area (REEM-CSA),reference minimal lumen area (RMAL),reference plaques area (RPA) and reference plaques burden (RPB).Results IVUS showed a higher rate of area stenosis than did the CAG [(58.2± 7.1)％ vs.(55.9 ± 5.2)％,P＜0.01].BPH group had more soft plaques,eccentric plaques,positive remodeling and less calcified than did the control group (P＜0.05).The MLA and RMAL of BPH group were smaller than those of control group:MAL [(5.61±0.96) mm2 vs.(6.06±0.75) mm2,P＜0.05],RMAL[(9.26±1.05) mm2 vs.(10.02±1.10) mm2,P＜0.05]； while the EEM-CSA,PA,PB,RPA,RPB were larger than those of control group:EEM-CSA[(14.51±1.10)mm2 vs.(13.37±1.02)mm2],PA[(8.90±1.24) mm2 vs.(7.31±1.04) mm2],PB[(61.26±6.53)％ vs.(54.53±5.69)％],RPA[(4.26±1.15) mm2 vs.(3.73±1.33) mm2],RPB [(31.30±8.37) ％ vs.(26.81±8.75) ％,P＜0.05].Conclusions IVUS has a higher value on evaluation of mild to moderate coronary artery stenosis.Evidence of myocardial ischemia in patients with BPH needs further excludeing coronary heart disease.

Objective To investigate the level of follicular fluid NO, VEGF and ET-1 in assessing IVF-ET outcome. Methods Totally 131 patients undergoing IVF-ET cycles were recruited. The level of follicular fluid NO was measured by chromatometry. The follicular fluid VEGF and ET-1 were measured by ELISA. Transvaginal ultrasound was performed on human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) injection day to determine ovarian volume and antral follicle count. Results The pregnancy rate was 37.40% (49/131). There were significantly increased level of follicular fluid NO, VEGF and decreased level of follicular fluid ET-1 in the pregnant group than those in the non-pregnant group (P<0.05). Total ovarian volume and antral follicle count on HCG injection day were significantly higher in the pregnant group than those in the non-pregnant group (P<0.05). The levels of follicular fluid NO and VEGF had positive correlations with the total ovarian volume and antral follicle count. However, the level of follicular fluid ET-1 had a negative correlation with the total ovarian volume and antral follicle count. Conclusions The high level of NO, VEGF and low level of ET-1 in follicular fluid are good predictors of ovarian blood flow and ovarian response in IVF-ET.

Multiple myeloma is a plasma cell disease with the second highest incidence among hematological malignancies. Its risk of concurrent thrombosis is high, which greatly affects the quality of life and even endangers life of multiple myeloma patients. The pathogenesis of thrombosis in patients with multiple myeloma is complex, which is still unclear. However many mechanisms are considered to be related to hypercoagulable state in patients with multiple myeloma. Currently, there is a lack of thrombosis risk assessment model for multiple myeloma. Therefore, this paper reviews the research and the latest progress of venous thrombosis in patients with multiple myeloma, and provides a theoretical basis for the prevention and treatment of thrombosis.

Objective:To evaluate delayed laparoscopic cholecystectomy (DLC) after percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder drainage (PTGBD) in acute cholecystitis.Methods:Clinical data of 64 patients who were diagnosed moderate (grade Ⅱ) acute cholecystitis by the 2018 Tokyo Guidelines in acute phase and underwent delayed LC at our hospital from Jan 2018 to Jan 2021 were compared between two groups ie PTGBD treatment (21 cases)in acute stage before DLC and DLC without PTGBD group (43 cases). The difficulty score of TG18 was used to evaluated every surgical procedure of the cases by reviewing the operation videos.Results:Patients in DLC after PTGBD group had a longer hospital stay and operation time, more blood lose and higher difficulty score than the DLC without PTGBD group(all P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the conversion rate and morbidity rate between the two groups( P>0.05). Conclusion:This study fails to show there is any if ever benefit of PTGBD before DLC over DLC without PTGBD in the management of Grade Ⅱ acute cholecystitis.

Objective:To investigate the application value of P-loop digestive tract recons-truction in pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD).Methods:The retrospective and descriptive study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 21 ampullary disease patients undergoing PD in the Liuzhou People′s Hospital Affiliated to Guangxi Medical University from April to December 2020 were collected. There were 13 males and 8 females, aged from 35 to 76 years, with a median age of 60 years. All the 21 patients underwent PD and digestive tract reconstruction using P-loop method based on the Child reconstruction. Observation indicators: (1) surgical situations; (2) postoperative situations; (3) follow-up. Follow-up was conducted using outpatient examination or telephone interview to detect survival and discomfort symptoms of patients up to December 2020. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M(range). Count data were described as absolute numbers or persentages. Results:(1) Surgical situations: all the 21 patients underwent PD successfully. The operation time, time of P-loop anastomosis and volume of intraoperative blood loss of 21 patients were (317±74)minutes, (14±3)minutes and 375 mL(range, 100-800 mL), respectively. Of the 21 patients, 17 cases had pancreatic texture as soft, 4 cases had pancreatic texture as hard, 3 cases had diameter of pancreas ≤3 mm, 18 cases had diameter of pancreas >3 mm, 14 cases were placed pancreatic duct stent, 7 cases were not placed pancreatic duct stent. (2) Postoperative situations: 2 of the 21 patients had grade A pancreatic fistula, and none of patient had grade B or grade C pancreatic fistula. One case had hepaticojejunal anastomotic fistula, 2 cases without pancreatic fistula had delayed gastric emptying and none of patient had abdominal infection or bleeding. The duration of postoperative hospital stay of 21 patients was (16±5)days, and none of patient died during postoperative 30 days. Results of postoperative histopathological examination showed there were 10 cases with duodenal papillary carcinoma, 4 cases with lower bile duct carcinoma, 3 cases with pancreatic head ductal adenocarcinoma, 1 case with duodenum stromal tumors, 1 case with gastric antrum carcinoma, 1 case with mass in the head of the pancreas of IgG4 and 1 case with choledochal cyst of type 3. (3) Follow-up: all 21 patients were followed up for 1.0 to 7.0 months, with a median follow-up time of 4.3 months. None of patient died. There was no abdominal pain, distension or dyspepsia during follow-up. One case was diagnosed as tumor liver metastasis at postoperative 5 months.Conclusion:P-loop digestive tract reconstruction in PD is safe and effective, with good short-term effect.
