Objective To determine the relevant factors of under staging and under grading in patients undergoing radical prostatectomy and to define important predictors of under staging in this population. Methods The clinical T stages and biopsy Gleason scores were compared with the pathological T stages and prostatectomy Gleason scores in 55 patients. Results Among the 55 cases,50 were preoperatively classified as clinical stages T 1~T 2,of whom 21(42%) were postoperatively classified as pathological stages T 3~T 4.Of the 26 cases who preoperatively had the Gleason scores of 2 to 6,11(42%) had postoperatively pathological grades of 7 to 10.Logistic regression analysis revealed that PSA( P =0.0159)at diagnosis and the percentage of positive biopsies of prostate ≥50%( P =0.0013) were significant predictors for preoperative clinical staging lower than postoperative pathological staging. Conclusions The results demonstrate that patients who were classified as clinical stages T 1~T 2 with PSA≥20 ng/ml and percentage of positive biopsies≥50% may have high possibility of under staging.

Objective To explore the risk factors of in-stent restenosis in coronary artery disease (CAD) patients with CYP2C19*1/ *1. Methods The population diagnosed with CAD subsequently underwent PCI, followed by CYP2C19 genotype examination. 127 patients with CYP2C19*1/ *1 followed up 1 year after PCI in our hospital were divided into ISR group (n = 47) and control group (n = 76) according to absence or presence of in-stent restenosis (the restenosis was defined as the reduction of lumen diameter ≥ 50%). The basic clinical data, laboratory results and medication and PCI of the two groups were retrospectively analyzed to figure out the etiological risk factors of in-stent restenosis in CAD patients with CYP2C19*1/ *1. Results Based on bivariate analysis, we found several independent variables (P > 0.05) including age, hypertension, BMI, smoking and drinking history. The independent variables with results of bivariate analysis of P < 0.05 included DM, physical exercise, TG, TBIL, FIB, and the stent length, diameter and number. A multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that such variables including DM,TG,FIB, stent length were independent predictors of ISR (P < 0.05). On the contrary, exercise and stent diameter may be the protective factor (P<0.05). Conclusions Clinical treatment for patients with high risk factors including improved life style, strengthened biochemical indicators monitoring, a reasonable treatment and appropriate stent placement according to individual coronary artery lesions , is expected to reduce the incidence of in-stent restenosis and improve the prognosis.

To investigate the advantage of using the medical sodium hyaluronate gel undergo goniosynechialysis, and to compare the difference of the viscoelastic agent and perfusion fluid by clinical control study.
●METHODS:Totally 103 cases (103 eyes) patients who had angle- closure glaucoma (ACG) with cataract all in Beijing Tongren Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University, from September 2012 to February 2013. All the patients had primary glaucoma or recurrence ACG with cataract. Their intraocular pressure (lOP) could be controlled in normal value using one or two anti -glaucoma medications. We divided all the patients into two groups by chance. Experimental group had 53 cases (50 eyes), and control group had 50 cases (53 eyes). Two groups all had been performed phacoemulsification combined with goniosynechialysis by the same experiential operator. But experimental group did goniosynechialysis using the medical sodium hyaluronate gel, control group did goniosynechialysis using perfusion fluid. We observed the change of lOP, central anterior chamber depth and anterior chamber structure of two groups in postoperative 1mo.
●RESULTS: SPSS19. 0 statistics software was utilized to analyze the data, This study selected one- side test α =0. 05, adopted paired t - test or two- sample t - test. We obtained that experimental group lOP decreased 12. 42 ± 0. 04mmHg, anterior chamber depth increased 1. 276 ± 0. 201mm; that control group lOP decreased 6. 56 ± 0. 08mmHg, anterior chamber depth increased 0. 852 ± 0. 132mm. And experimental group anterior chamber angle opened more widely than the other group, the comparison had statistical significance (P<0. 05).
●CONCLUSlON: ln phacoemulsification combine with goniosynechialysis,use medical sodium hyaluronate gel do goniosynechialysis can more effectively decrease lOP. This because the medical sodium hyaluronate gel has high glutinousness, it can separate angle of anterior chamber and controlling lOP effectively.
