Chinese Journal of Postgraduates of Medicine 2011;34(11):11-13
Objective To evaluate the effect and safety of transobturator inside-out tension-free urethral suspension (TVT-O) as the surgical treatment on post-operational recurrence of female stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Methods Eleven women with SUI recurrence who underwent TVT-O were selected in the research. Their incontinence recurred from 1 months to 8 years after the previous surgical treatment.Results The operative time was (28 ±9) min, the bleeding volume was (15 ±5) ml. Postoperative complications: urinary retention in 1 case, vaginal erosion in 1 case. Follow-up was enforced for 6-36months, median time was 16 months. Grouts-Blaivas analogue scale:among the 11 patients, 9 patients were cured, 2 patients were improved. ICI-Q-SF score: preoperative 13-21 ( 15.36 ± 2.34) scores compared to postoperative 0-9 (1.46 ±3.27) scores (t =5.850,P <0.01 ). I-QOL score: preoperative 23.33-36.67(29.85 ± 4.74) scores compared to postoperative 66.67-100.00 (95.15 ± 10.12) scores (t = 17.753,P <0.01 ). PISQ-12 score of 10 patients: preoperative 16-25 (20.10 ± 3.07) scores compared to postoperative 11-20( 14.00 ± 2.83 ) scores (t = 11.600, P < 0.01 ). Conclusion If conservative treatments fail, TVT-O is highly effective and safe for the postoperative recurrent SUI.
4.Identification of IMP-1 Metallo-β-lactamase in carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae
Chinese Journal of Clinical Infectious Diseases 2011;4(3):149-153
Objective To study the genes of a carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae strain isolated from a patient. Methods The antibiotic sensitivity test of a multidrug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae strain was done according to K-B and MIC method. Metallo-β-lactamase was detected by Modified Hodge Test and EDTA-disk synergy test. Both nine genes encoding β-lactamases, including blaKPC, blaIMP , blaVIM , blaSME , blaCTX-M , blaSHV, blaDHA , blaACT, Class Ⅰ integrase and Class Ⅰ integron were detected by PCR. Positive products were sequenced. Results The Klebsiella pneumoniae was resistant to carbapenems, cephalosporins, cefoxitin, ampicillin and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole. Only susceptible to aztreonam, gentamicin, tobramycin, amikacin, ciprofloxacin and levofloxacin. The blaIMP-1 and Class Ⅰ integron were positive. The blaIMP gene was identified by PCR and DNA sequencing confirmed that the gene belong to IMP-1 type Metallo-β-lactamase gene. The strain also carried Class Ⅰ integron and IMP-1 was located in Class Ⅰ integron 5'. Conclusions It is the first detection of IMP-1 Metallo-β-lactamase in Klebsiella pneumoniae. The production of IMP-1 carbapenemase is the main mechanism of carbapenem-resistant in Klebsiella pneumoniae, and multidrug resistance is related to ClassⅠ integron.

Chinese Journal of Postgraduates of Medicine 2009;32(34):1-5
Objective To determine the frequency of the cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP)-TaqIB polymorphism and investigate its relationship with plasma lipid levels and coronary hert disease(CHD). Methods Two hundred and thirty-eight patients with CHD (CHD group) and 203 age-matched controls( control group) were selected, the CETp-TaqIB mutation was detected by restriction fragment length polymorphism of the CETP gene. Results In the total subjects, the frequency of B1 and B2 alleles were 59.4%(262/441 ) and 40.6%( 179/441 ) respectively. Compared with that in control group, the frequency of CETP genotype BIBI was higher in CHD group [39.9%(95/238) vs 29.6% ( 60/203 ), P<0.05], and the frequency of B1B2 was lower in CHD group [44.1%(105/238) vs 53.7%(109/203), P< 0.05]. Compared with that in the B2 homozygotes, high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and apolipoprotein (apo)A I level were significantly lower in the B1 homozygotes [(1.19±0.36) mmol/L vs (1.38±0.39) retool/L,( 1.17±0.33 ) g/L vs ( 1.30±0.31 ) g/L, P<0.05]. The B 1 homozygotes was associated with higher degree of cononary stenosis than the B2 carriers (P<0.05 ). There was no significant association between CETP-TaqIB genotype and the risk of CHD (P=0.147). Conclusions CETP-TaqIB polymorphism affects the concentrations of lipaproteins. There are significant associations between the B1 homozygotes and lowerHDL-C and apo A I levels. The B1 allele is not an independent risk factor for CHD.
6.Pathogenesis in reversible posterior leukoencephalopathy syndrome
International Journal of Cerebrovascular Diseases 2009;17(6):444-447
Reversible posterior leukoencephalopathy syndrome (RPLS) is a cliniconeuroradiological entity mainly characterized by the rapidly progressive increase in blood pressure, headache, vomiting, conscious disturbance and seizure. Neuroimaging showed symmetrical reversible white matter edema in bilateral cerebral hemispheres, particularly in posterior brain.Clinical symptoms and neuroimaging changes can be recovered completely with timely and correct treatment. The two major hypotheses about the pathogenesis of RPLS-cerebral vasospasm and cerebrovascular hyperperfusion-have been in dispute. At preseut, most researchers still agree that the latter is the main cause of cerebral edema. This article expounds the new viewpoints of its pathogenesis and the above two major hypotheses in recent years from the characterizations of etiology, pathology and imaging of RPLS.

8.Laparoscopic abdominal wall components separation in a porcine model of intra-abdominai hypertension
Chinese Journal of General Surgery 2009;24(1):49-52
Objective To determine the effect of laparoscopic abdominal wall components separation procedure on a porcine model of intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH). Methods IAH to 25 nun Hg was created by insufllating carbon dioxide into abdominal cavity of eight anesthetized pigs. Bilateral subcutaneous tunnels above the plane of the abdominal musculature were developed. Dissection of the external oblique insertion and development of the plane between external and internal oblique muscles was performed using ultrasonic scalpel monitored by laparoscopy. Changes in intra-abdominal pressure (IAP), waistline (WL), mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR), central venous pressure (CVP) were recorded. Results Following intra-abdominal hypertension, WL, MAP, HR and CVP changed significantly. After laparoscopic abdominal wall components separation, there was a significant decrease in IAP from 25 mm Hg to ( 16. 0 ± 1.5 ) mm Hg ( P < 0. 01 ). Also, this procedure increased WL by (5.6 ± 2. 0) cm [ from (65.3 ± 2. 5 ) cm to (88 ± 14) cm; P < 0. 01 ]. Due to abdominal depression, the MAP was significantly increased from to (88 ± 14) mm Hg to ( 100 ± 12) mm Hg ( P <0. 01 ). Moreover, there were significant improvements in circulation status including HR from (115 ± 9) beat per minute (bpm) to (97 ± 7) bpm (P<0.01), CVP from (10.8±2.2) cm H2O to (7.3 ± 1.8) cm H2O (P<0.01), etc. Conclusions IAH results in changes of hemedynnmies. Laparoscopic abdominal wall components separation significantly decreases IAH improving porcine hemodynamics.
9.Relationship between acculturation and school life satisfaction in Hani middle school students
Chinese Mental Health Journal 2010;24(2):144-148
Objective: To explore the characteristics of acculturation and its relationship to school life satisfac-tion for Hani junior and senior middle school students. Methods: The Acculturation Survey of Hani Middle School Students and School Life Satisfaction Rating Questionnaire for Adolescents were used to test 621 students in 3 senior middle schools and 2 junior middle schools from 3 different counties resided mainly by Hani people, in Honghe pre-fecture. Result: (1) The scores of acculturation and its dimensions had statistical significant difference in gender,family residence, and grade (F=3.46, 3.29, Ps<0.05). The total average scores of acculturation was more than median value for Hard students [(3.79±0.65) > median value 3] . The score of acculturation in female students was significantly higher than that in male students [(3.85±0.61)vs.(3.74±0.68), P<0.01] . The score of school educational identification in the students from rural areas was higher than that from town areas [(3.89±0.75)vs.(3.64±0.69), P<0.05]. Meanwhile, the score of Chinese familiarities in students from town was higher than that in ones from rural areas [(3.96±0.98)vs.(3.47±0.82), (3.53±0.90), P <0.05] . (2) As the graph of average data points were seen, with the transference of grades, the score of their ac-culturation appeared the winding changes. (3) The average scores of acculturation and its 3 dimensions were positively correlated with the school life satisfactions (r=0.52, 0.44, 0.51, 0.29, Ps<0.01). Multiple stepwise regression analysis showed that school life satisfaction was related to school educational identification and main-stream cultural identity. Conclusion: It indicates that female and ones lived in town have higher level of accultura-tion in Hani middle school students, and higher level of acculturation be correlated to higher level of school life sat-is faction.
