Objective To evaluate the effects of temperature of the irrigation fluid on body temperature and cardiovascular performance during transurethral surgery. Methods 87 cases were randomly divided into two groups according to the temperature of irrigation fluid used: the ambient (21～ 24 ℃) and the isothermic (35～36 ℃). Body temperature, blood glucose, ECG, HR, SaO 2, cardiac output (CO), mean arterial pressure (MAP) and systemic vascular resistance (SVR) were monitored during the transurethral surgery. Results Body temperature was decreased 2.1 ℃, MAP elevated, CO decreased and SVR increased in the ambient group, while body temperature was decreased only 0.3 ℃ and cardiac performance was maintained relatively stable in the isothermic group. Conclusions Hypothermia, resulted from the use of large amount of low temperature irrigation fluid during transurethral surgery has detrimental effects on body temperature and cardiovascular performance. Isothermic irrigation fluid would stablize the cardiovascular performance and so increases the safety of transurethral surgery.

Objective:To investigate the possibility of predicting facial nerve involvement in the pa-tients with parotid tumors using facial electroneurography (ENoG).Methods:In the study, 53 patients with primary parotid tumors were included in the study , 28 were benign tumors and 25 were malignant . There was no significant difference of tumor locations and sizes between the two groups . House-Brackmann facial nerve function evaluation was gradeⅠin all the patients who received examination of fa-cial electroneurography , including stimulation strength , amplitude , and latent time bilaterally .The facial electroneurography results in the affected side were compared with the results of contralateral normal side , intraoperative appearance and postoperative histopathological diagnosis .The facial electroneurography results were analyzed by Wilcoxon signed rank test and receiver operator characteristic ( ROC) curve. Results:During the facial electroneurography examination , the mean stimulation strength in the patients with benign parotid tumor was 20.0 mA.There was significant decrease in the amplitude at the affected side compared with the normal side upon posterior auricular stimulation ( P<0 .05 ) .But there was no significant difference in the latent time between the bilateral sides (P>0.05).However, in the patients with malignant parotid tumor , the mean stimulation strength was higher at 24.5 mA.There was signifi-cant decrease in the amplitude or even no response at the affected side compared to the normal side upon posterior auricular stimulation ( P<0 .05 ) .No response was detected in the multiple branches of facial nerve of affected sides in 36 .0%patients upon posterior auricular stimulation .The amplitude of branchesⅢand Ⅳwas significantly lower at the affected side than that at the normal side upon anterior auricular stimulation (P<0.05).The area under the ROC curve for ENoG was 0.884.Conclusion: When the facial nerve was involved by the parotid tumors , the stimulation strength in the electroneurography was larger .There was significant difference in the amplitude and the latent time of the facial nerve between the affected side and the normal side upon the posterior auricular stimulation .The rate of absence of reac-tion wave was higher in the patients with malignant tumors .It was feasible to predict the facial nerve in-volvement by ENoG for the parotid gland tumor patients without clinical appearances of facial paralysis .

OBJECTIVETo analyze the relationship between symptoms and signs of temporomandibular disorders (TMD) and the patients' quality of life (QOL).

METHODSA total of 492 TMD patients were included in this study. The clinical examination results were recorded using Fricton index of temporomandibular joint function. "Visual analog scale (VAS) evaluation of QOL disturbance" was designed to quantitate patients' QOL, to evaluate the degree that the patients QOL was affected.

RESULTSChewing, daily life and emotion among all 8 items of QOL were frequently affected by TMD, and joint clicking had the least influence on QOL. Intermittent closed lock had more severe interference with QOL than joint clicking only. Severe and moderate pain or limited mouth opening affected the QOL more severely than mild pain or mild limited mouth opening. The simple linear relationship between Fricton index and patients' QOL was poor (r < 0.4).

CONCLUSIONSPain is the most frequently seen symptom in TMD. TMD could affect patients' QOL, including both physical and social-psychological functions. The results suggest that the patients' QOL as well as TMD symptoms and signs should be considered in the management of TMD.

Objective To compare the effect of two different treatment approaches on femoral shaft fractures in polytrauma patients.Methods One hundred and forty-eight polytrauma patients were selected as our subjects,who were hospitalized from Jan.2000 to Dec.2009.They were randomly divided into cast group and external fixation group.Patients in cast group were fixed with cast within the first 24 h after the injury and patients in external fixation group were stabilized with a unilateral external fix stent within the first 24 h after the injury.Results In cast group,71 of 75 patients were followed up and follow up periods was 26.4 months.Follow up data showed that 18 patients developed multiple organ failure (MOF) and 26 patients developed ARDS.The average healed periods was 5.9 month.Three patients developed nonunion and 4 cases developed wound infection.The average of the knee motion angle was 107 degrees (60 to 110 degrees).In external fixation group,68 patients were followed up and the follow-up period was 27.5 months.Of which,13 patients developed MOF and 12 patients developed ARDS.The average healed periods was 5.6 months.2 patients developed nonunion and 3 cases developed for.wound infection.The average of the knee motion angle was 120 degrees (60 to 140 degrees).Conclusion The damage control orthopedics surgery was proved as a safe and effective treatment approach for fractures of the shaft of the femur in selected multiply injured patients compared with cast methods.

Four primers against the genes encoding(cpa,cpb,etx,and iA) four major toxins(?,?,?,?) of Cl. perfringens were designed and the colony multiplex PCR of identification and genotyping of Cl. perfringens strains were developed. Cl. perfringens reference strains stored in china institute of veterinary drug control including A,B,C,D and E genotyping were genotyped using the colony muitiplex PCR assay. The expected sequences were obtained successfully by the colony multiplex PCR assay. But the sequences were not obtained from Cl. novyi,Cl. septicum and Cl. tetani. The expected sequences were obtained from Cl. perfringens individual colony diluted to 100 times with 0.85% saline solution.13 Cl. perfringens strains isolated from diferent animals were genotyped using the colony multiplex PCR assay,and the results were comparaed with the results of toxins neutranization test in mice. The two assays showed good accordance. These results showed that the development of the colony multiplex PCR is very important for early and fast identification and genotyping of Cl. perfringens in china.

Objective To compare the clinical efficacy between continuous and intermittent androgen deprivation in high risk prostate cancer.Methods Sixty-four patients with high risk prostate cancer were treated from January 2008 to April 2009,36 cases who accepted goserelin and bicalutamide were taken as intermittent hormonal therapy (intermittent treatment group),while 28 cases who accepted bilateral orchiectomy in addition to flutamide were regarded as continuous hormonal therapy (continuous treatment group).The comparison of tumor specific mortality,time of prostate specific antigen (PSA) to nadir,tine to PSA recurrence,serum testerone and quality of life score were assessed between the two groups.Results In continuous treatment group and intermittent treatment group,follow-up period was (26.4 ± 10.3) and (28.1 ± 8.7) months,the time of PSA to nadir was (3.8 ± 2.1 ) and (4.0 ± 3.6) months,the time to PSA recurrence was (20.1 ± 12.3) and (24.5 ± 14.6) months,respectively.There was no significant difference between the two groups.At the time of 18,24 and 30 months after therapy,serum testerone was 0.85,0.88,0.89 μg/L in continuous treatment group,while 1.21,1.36,1.48 μg/L in intermittent treatment group,respectively (P ＜ 0.05 ).Similarly,quality of life score was 38.7,40.5,39.8 scores in continuous treatment group,while 49.2,51.4,52.3 scores in intermittent treatment group at the time of 12,18 and 30 months after therapy,respectively (P ＜ 0.05 ).Conclusions Clinical efficacy could not been found between continuous and intermittent endocrinic therapy of prostate cancer.During intermittent,quality of life seems to be better and increases in accordance with serum testerone recurrence at given time.
