Objective To investigate the risk factors on rectovaginal fistula after resection in rectal canc-er and clinical strategy. Methods Our retrospective study included 1123 patients of recter cancer who un-derwent anterior resection with TME technique. Results 3.03% patients(34/1123) developed reetovaginal fistula. Rectovaginal fistulas were raleted with menopausal, location tumor in rectal wall and distance between tumor and anal verge, anastomotic technique, while not with age, T stage, preoperative radiotherapy, diversion stoma construction. Among 34 patients 12 were cured conservatively, fistula repair and colon stoma were performed for the other patients. Conclusions Menopausal, location tumor in rectal wall, distance between tumor and anal verge, anastomotic technique were risk factors for rectovaginal fistula after resection in rectal cancer. Correct choice of surgical procedures, suitable operative timing, enough preoperative preparation are important.

Objective To construct the recombinant plasmid containing human filaggrin gene,purify and identify the immunoreactivity of the recombinant protein,and establish the indirect ELISA to detect AFA for diagnosis of RA.Methods The constructed plasmids were transformed into E. Coli Rosettagami(DE3).This fusion protein was purified by NAT chromatography.ELISA coated with the fusion protein Was established to detect the AFA in serum of patients,which included 114 cases of RA,56 cases of SLE,32 cases of OA and 40 cases of normal controls. The correlation between the results of AFA and anti-CCP in RA group were compared. Results 321 bp fragment of filaggrin gene was amplified and the recombinant expression vector pET-28a( + )-filaggrin was constructed. The sequence of filaggrin gene was the same as the sequence reported in the literatures. The Rosetta-gami (DE3) strains of E. Coli with recombinant vector showed high level of filaggrin protein after induction. The SDS-PAGE showed that the plasmid expressed the filaggrin fusion protein with molecule weight of 14 000 Da. The expression protein could be purified by Ni-NAT with activity. The absorbance value of AFA in RA group was 0.473 ±0. 248 while they were 0. 160 0. 088, 0. 121±0. 070, 0.050 0. ±018 in SLE, OA and normal groups respectively. There were significant differences of absorbance values of AFA between RA and SLE, OA, control group (t = 12.004, 14. 464, 18.078, P<0. 01, respectively). The positivities of anti-filaggrin in RA, SLE and OA were 48.2%, 5.4% and 3. 1% respectively. The positivities of AFA were significantly different between RA, OA and normal control groups (x~2 = 67. 088, P < 0. 01). There was positive correlation of results between AFA and anti-CCP antibody (r = 0.42, P < 0. 05 ) . The consistency rate of results between AFA and anti-CCP was 70. 1%. Anti-CCP was negative in 10 out of 114 patients with AFA positive. AFA can be used to diagnose RA with sensitivity of 48. 2% , specificity of 96.9% , positive predictive value of 93. 2% and negative predictive values of 67. 9% . Conclusions The purified human filaggrin fusion protein is successfully purified. The indirect ELISA method based on the recombinant protein shows good sensitivity and specificity. Joint detection with AFA and anti-CCP can improve the positive rate of detection.

ObjectiveTo compare the efficacy and safety of intermittent patient-initiated single-dose antibiotic prophylaxis and continuous antibiotic prophylaxis for the prevention of recurrent urinary tract infection (UTI) in postmenopausal women. MethodsA randomized controlled clinical trial was conducted for the prevention of recurrent urinary tract infection. Single dose of antibiotic was given every night in continuous antibiotic prophylaxis group and every time after exposure to conditions predisposed to UTI in intermittent antibiotic prophylaxis group. The duration of prevention was 12 months in both groups. ResultsThe effective rates of intermittent antibiotic prophylaxis and continuous antibiotic prophylaxis were 71.0% and 81.8% respectively (P＞0.05). The incidence of gastrointestinal adverse reaction in intermittent antibiotic prophylaxis group was significantly lower than that in continuous antibiotic prophylaxis group (7.7% vs 28.6%,P＜0.05). ConclusionsCompared with continuous antibiotic prophylaxis, intermittent patient-initiated single-dose antibiotic prophylaxis is a better prophylaxis with less gastrointestinal adverse reactions for the prevention of recurrent urinary tract infection in postmenopausal women.

Objective To study the efficacy of low-dose daytime ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (DAPD) and low-dose CAPD in diabetic end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients with better residual renal function (RRF). Methods Forty stable diabetic ESRD patients with better RRF (rGFR ≥ 5 ml/min and urine volume ≥ 750 ml/d) were enrolled. They were randomly divided into two groups: low-dose DAPD group (n=20) and low-dose CAPD group (n=20). DAPD group received three 1.5 L to 2 L daily exchanges with a nocturnal empty belly, dwelling for 3 to 4 hours. CAPD group received three 1.5 L to 2 L daily exchange or four 1.5 L daily exchange regimens and dwelled during the night. At the beginning of the study and 6 months later, total weekly Kt/V and Ccr (peritoneal+renal), rGFR were calculated. Meanwhile 24-hour urinary protein,serum albumin (Alb), hemoglobin (Hb), fasting plasma glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin and insulin dosage were measured. Nutritional status was assessed by SGA. Results Thirty-five patients fulfilled the study. There were no significant differences between two groups in age, gender, BMI,PD time, D/Pcr, etc. At the end of the 6th month, the insulin dose[(33.6±10.9) U/d] and 24-hour dialysate protein [(11.13t4.95) g] in CAPD group were significantly higher as compared to DAPD group [(20.6±6.2) U/d, P＜0.05 and (5.66±2.88) g, P＜0.01 respectively]. Alb in CAPD group [(29.7±4.2) g/L] was significantly lower than that in DAPD group [(36.5 ±3.9) g/L, P＜0.05].While the net ultrafiltration [(554±187) ml vs (309±177) ml], 24-hour urine volume [(1090±361)ml vs (750±258) ml] and rGFR [(8.21±2.40) ml/min vs (4.88±2.11) ml/min] in DAPD group were all significantly higher than those in CAPD group (all P＜0.05). Conclusion For the diabetic ESRD patients with better RRF, the low-dose DAPD regimen is more effective to control plasma glucose, improve nutritional status and protect RRF than the low-dose CAPD.
