Objective To study a noninvasive method in evaluating the bladder outlet obstruc-tion (BOO) and bladder function in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) based on the transabdominal ultrasonic measurement of intravesical prostatic protrusion (IPP). Methods The da-ta of 206 first visit BPH patients with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) were retrospectively re-viewed. Patients were divided into 2 groups based on the degree of IPP: the research group with IPP greater than 10 mm(n=78) and control group with IPP 10 mm or less(n=128). Clinical data and uro-dynamic findings of the 2 groups were analyzed to find the clinical significance of IPP. Resells In-creased prostate volume(73.7±35.9 ml vs 62.8±36.5 ml), serum prostate specific antigen(1.81± 0.67 ng/ml vs 1. 64±0.36 ng/ml), post-voiding residual urine volume (PVR)(290.2±217.2 ml vs 228.2±167.9 ml), incidence of acute urine retention(33.3% vs 18.0%)and bladder trabeculation (23.1% vs 11.7%)had signicant differences between the 2 groups (P<0.05). Positive correlation was found between IPP and prostate volume as well as PVR (r=0.401 and 0.342, respectively). In the urodynamic study, significantly lower peak flow rate (Qmax) (7.6±4.1 ml/s vs 9.1±3.6 ml/s), higher incidence of detrusor overactivity (82.1% vs 17.2%) and low bladder compliance (35.9% vs 12.5%)were found in research group (P<0.01). In addition, maximum detrusor pressure(109.8± 84.9 cm H2O vs 84.9±44.1 cm H2O) and BOO index (BOOI) (75.2±27.1 vs 65.9±34.6) were significantly higher in the research group (p<0.05). The correlation study showed that r between IPP and Qmax, Pdet. max and BOOI was-0.284, 0.252 and 0.456, respectively. The incidence of acute urinary intention recurrence was higher in research group than in control group (64.3% vs 23.5%) (P<0.05). Conclusions IPP is a useful predictor in evaluating BOO and detrusor function. BOO and impaired detrusor function in obvious IPP patients are more severe. The obvious IPP pa-tients, especially those presenting with acute urine retention, may benefit more from early surgical in-tervention.

Objective To explore the clinical value of applying digital technology to make the course of toe vein clear before toe free flap transplantation for thumb reconstruction.Methods Before operation,scan the donor and recipient site by CT,and apply digital three-dimensional CT angiography reconstruction technology to got threedimensional images of the arteries and veins in the donor site for 22 various defected thumbs which were going to have toe free flap transplantation operation,thus indentifyed the types of FDMA and the distribution and course of the toe vein from June,2012 to March,2013.Used computer assisted anatomical modeling to analyze three-dimensional images of blood supply of the donor site and degree of defect of the recipient site and guide the operative design in the donor site according to the digital three-dimensional reconstruction technology.Conducted toe free flap transplantation for thumb reconstruction in accordance with the design.Results It shows that 64-slice dual-source spiral CT could well display the size,distribution and course of toe vein.The toe veins were clarified to two groups,deep one and superficial one whose diameter was larger and was the main reflux vein of the toe.Dorsal vein of the toe origind from venous plexus in the nail bed and it travels along the back of the toe to reach to the near side of metatarsophalangeal joint.And then it beeomes three to four dorsal metatarsal veins to infused dorsal venous arch of foot.The rule of its course was:centralize-decentralize-connect-decentralize again.The great saphenous vein origins from the inner side of dorsal venous arch of foot,rises along the crus before malleolus medialis and collect three larger tributaries:medial malleolar branches-anterior crural branch-outside crural branch.The small saphenous vein derives from the outside of dorsal venous arch of foot and winds behind lateral malleolus up to the back of the curs and infuses to the vein.Conclusion It is useful for venous return,reducing the incidence of vascular crisis by applying toe flap to reconstruct thumbs and clarifying the course and distribution of toe vein with the aid of digital three-dimensional technology to design operation,thus improving the survival rate of toe flap transplantation.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of sunitinib as post-operative adjuvant therapy in patients with high-risk renal cell carcinoma (RCC).Methods A total of 60 patients with resected,histologically confirmed clear cell RCC were enrolled in this study.Patients received orally sunitinib either at a dose of 50 mg on treatment schedule (once daily for 4 weeks followed by 2 weeks off) or at a dose of 37.5 mg once daily for three 6-week cycles from 1 month after surgery.Results All the 60 patients tolerated Sunitinib treatment well and no patient discontinued treatment due to adverse events.Most adverse events were grade Ⅰ to Ⅱ.The most frequently reported adverse events were neutropenia (56.7％),thrombocytopenia (53.3％),leucopenia (48.3％),hand-foot syndrome (46.7％) and hypertension (36.7％).The most frequently reported grade 3 or 4 toxicities were thrombocytopenia (25.0％),neutropenia (15.0％),hand-foot syndrome (11.7％) and leucopenia (8.3％).The majority of adverse events occurred within the first 1-2 cycles of sunitinib treatment,and was ameliorated 1 month after 3 cycles finished.No irreversible adverse event was observed.As of April 5,2012,no recurrence occurred in patients except one death due to cerebrovascular accident unrelated to treatment,with both 6-month and 9-month disease-free survival rate of 100％.Conclusions Myelosuppression occurred less frequently in high-risk RCC patients treated with sunitinib as operative adjuvant therapy than in advanced RCC patients,with a better benefit trend.However,long-term follow-up data are needed to further confirm the efficacy of sunitinib in the adjuvant setting.

Objective:To investigate the clinical value of the free fibula flap transplantation in repair of the defect of tibia and soft tissue with the help of augmented reality (AR) technology.Methods:From May, 2017 to May, 2019, 9 patients with tibial and soft tissue defects were treated. Before operation, CTA scan was performed on both shanks to obtain DICOM data of tibial bone defect. Images of the designed fibular flap and its blood supply model were imported into Sina software through computer virtual surgery assistant technology. With the AR technology, information of virtual fibula flap were projected onto the body surface at the donor site, and the operation was carried out under the precise positioning. In this group, the free fibular flap was harvested with an area of 6.0 cm×4.0 cm-12.0 cm×6.0 cm and the length of fibula was 6.0-13.5 cm. The free fibula flap were used to repair the tibial defect with 5.0-12.0 cm in length and soft tissue defect area at 5.0 cm×3.0 cm-10.0 cm×4.5 cm. Patients were followed-up to observe the survival of fibular flap and the functional recovery of the repaired lower limb, and evaluate the clinical effect.Results:All the fibular flaps survived without vascular crisis and without serious complications occurred at both of donor and recipient sites. After 8-12 months of follow-up, the flap was soft in texture and good in blood supply. The appearance of the repair site was not bloated. Callus began to form at the junction of fibula and tibia at 3-5 months and healed well in 8-12 months. No bone resorption, nonunion, loosening or falling off of screws were found. There was no pain in the shank of the recipient area. Patients could stand and walk freely, and the weight-bearing function was close to normal. According to Enneking system, the average score was 27 points; 7 cases were excellent and 2 cases were good.Conclusion:Application of AR technology in the repair of tibial bone defect with fibular flap transplantation has good clinical effect and has certain practical value.

Objective: To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of coronavirus disease 2019 （COVID-19） cases reported in Ningbo from January 22 to February 22, 2020, so as to provide guidance for the prevention and control of the COVID-19 epidemic. Methods: The confirmed cases of COVID-19 reported by Ningbo were selected from National Diseases Prevention and Control Information System to analyze the epidemiological characteristics by descriptive epidemiological method, including time, spatial and population distribution, clinical symptoms and exposure history. Results: A total of 157 confirmed cases of COVID-19 were reported and there was no death. The first confirmed case was reported on January 22. On the incidence curve, the peak was from January 22 to February 4, with a maximum of 15 cases in a single day. The incidence curve presented sustained human-to-human transmission. The number of the cases showed a declining trend from February 5. The confirmed cases were reported in all 10 counties（cities or districts）,among which 69（43.95%）cases were reported in Haishu District. The confirmed cases were mainly 30-69 years old,accounting for 78.34%;were mainly farmers,household workers and retired people,accounting for 59.87%;and were mainly clinically mild,accounting for 87.90%.There were 51 imported cases, accounting for 32.48%. The initial confirmed case was a local case. In the early stage of the epidemic, local cases and imported cases prevalent together,which was due to the outbreak caused by the large-scale buddhist activity on January 19.This event resulted in 67 confirmed cases and 15 asymptomatic cases. There totally reported 22 clusters with 138 （87.90%）confirmed cases. Conclusions In the early stage of the COVID-19 epidemic in Ningbo, the imported cases and local cases prevalent at the same time. Most of the cases were female, aged from 30 to 69 years, and their occupation were farmers, household workers and retired people. With comprehensive measures taken, the epidemic of COVID-19 in Ningbo have been under control.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the value of chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) for fetuses with choroid plexus cysts (CPC) detected by prenatal ultrasonography. METHODS: Amniotic fluid chromosomal karyotype was analyzed in 104 fetuses with CPC, and copy number variations (CNVs) among the fetuses were detected by using CMA. RESULTS: Ten fetuses (9.62%) were found to have an abnormal karyotype, and 14 additional CNVs were detected in those with a normal karyotype. The fetuses were divided into isolated CPC group (n = 87) and non-isolated CPC group (n = 17) based on the presence of additional ultrasonographic abnormalities. The detection rates for karyotypic abnormalities of the two groups were 4.6% and 35.3%, respectively, whilst those for the CMA were 4.6% and 47.1%, respectively. The detection rates for karyotypic abnormalities and CMA of the non-isolated CPC group were significantly higher than those of the isolated CPC group (P < 0.05). The detection rate for CMA in the non-isolated group was significantly higher than chromosomal karyotype abnormalities (P < 0.05). Among the 8 fetuses with abnormal CMA, 4 had single umbilical artery, 3 had abnormal cardiac structure, and 2 had enhanced intestinal echo. CONCLUSION CPC is closely associated with chromosomal abnormalities. Chromosome karyotype analysis in combination with CMA can effectively detect fetal chromosomal abnormalities and provide a basis for genetic counseling.

This study was designed to investigate the effects of TNFSF14 on mitochondrial function in ischemia/reperfusion-induced acute kidney injury(I/R-AKI)and its mechanism.TNFSF14-/-and TNFSF14+/+mice underwent renal ischemia-reperfusion operation to establish I/R-AKI models,and their histopathology changes were compared by using Periodic Acid-Schiff stain,transmission electron microscopy.Immunohistochemistry(IHC)was used to detect levels of TNFSF14,HVEM,LT[3R,mitochondrial activity related proteins(Dpr1 and Mfn2)and inflammatory cells infiltration in kidney tissues of mice and relevant patients.In vitro cell experiments,immunofluorescence and immunoblotting were used to observe the effects of exogenous recombinant TNFSF14 factor on the damage and mitochondrial activity of renal tubular epithelial cell line HK-2 cells.Data showed that the expression of TNFSF14 and its receptors were significantly increased in kidney tissues of I/R-AKI mice and clinical human renal tissues of acute tubular injury.Compared with the sham group,I/R mice showed significantly higher levels of renal tubular injury score,inflammatory cells infiltration,cell apoptosis,mitochondrial damage,and Drp1 expression,while knocking out the TNFSF14 gene,the above indicators were significantly reduced.In vitro,exogenous TNFSF14 stimulation could aggravate the hypoxia-induced apoptosis and the decrease of mitochondrial membrane potential in HK-2 cells,while increasing phosphorylation of Drp1 at Se616 to promote its transfer from cytoplasm to mitochondria,leading to an abnormal increase in mitochondrial fission.In conclusions,TNFSF14 may mediate the pathological process of I/R-AKI by promoting mitochondrial damage.
