Objective To investigate the recovery of affected side kidney function after upper urinary tract obstruction was relieved Methods 78 patients who had been diagnosed with upper urinary tract obstruction were enrolled from January to December of 2015 in our hospital.All patients received the surgery to relieve the obstruction.GFR of the affected side kidney was done after one months of the surgery.The average age was(51.3 ± 12.8)years old.The reason of obstruction was upper urinary tract calculi (72 cases) and upper urinary tract stenosis (6 cases) respectively.All the patients received CT and ECT before and after operation.All the patients was divided into 3 groups by the decreased degree of affected side kidney function,including moderately decreased group [15 rnl/min ≤ GFR ＜ 30 ml/min,n =43,mean value =(23.1 ±5.0) mL/min],severely decreased group [7.5 rnL/min≤ GFR ＜ 15 ml/min,n =23,mean value =(11.2 ± 2.3) ml/min],and extreme severely decreased group [GFR ＜ 7.5 ml/min,n =12,mean value =(4.3 ± 2.9)ml/min].Linear correlation analysis was used to analysis the relationship analysis between the GFR value (pre-operation,post-operation) and the renal cortical thickness.The follow up time of extreme severely decreased group extended to 8-12 months.Results The GFR of moderate decreased group recovered to(30.6 ± 8.5) ml/min,regained averagely (7.56 ± 7.62) ml/min;the severely decreased group recovered to (13.1 ± 4.5) ml/min,regain (1.94 ± 3.38) ml/min.Extreme severely decreased group recovered to (11.1 ± 3.4) ml/min,regained averagely (6.75 ± 4.76) rnl/min,the GFR mean value after operation 8-12 months recovered to (12.7 ± 3.6) ml/min.All groups got significant recovery of kidney function of the affected side.The correlation coefficient between GFR value and the renal cortical thickness was 0.59 (before the surgery) and 0.70 (after the surgery) respectively (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Most of affected side kidneys got different degree of recovery.Obstruction influenced the accuracy of ECT at the time of evaluating the actual renal function before operation.The kidneys which had been supposed should be resected in presurgical evaluation could recover to the level of kidney reserve after the surgery.

Objective To evaluate the curative effect of polyscope modular flexible ureteroscope combined with Holmium laser lithotrip-sy in the treatment of renal calculi. Methods 53 patients with renal calculi were performed CTU to detect the position of renal calculi before operation. The patients were treated with polyscope modular flexible ureteroscope combined with Holmium laser, and the double J tube were routinely indwelled 4 to 12 weeks after surgery. Results All the 52 patients has successfully completed the operation in the frist stage. The mean operative time was about 38 minutes. 6 patients were treated with flexible ureteroscope for second stage operation. One week after oper-ation, the review showed that there were residual calculi existed in 24 cases and there were 56 cases of post-operative infection, including 17 cases of sepsis or sepsis shock. Conclusion Polyscope modular flexible ureteroscope can be used for all kinds of kidney stones surgery and is characterized by safety and mild tissue injury. But we should pay more attention to the post-operative infection especially urosepsis.

Objective To summarise and analyze the clinical effecacy of endovascular treatment(internal holmium laser incision,bal-loon dilation,ureter dilator,rigid ureter dilation)for ureteral stricture.Methods The clinical data of 628 patients from January 2010 to Jan-uary 2015 in our hospital were analyzed.The relevant operation indicators,postoperative complications and recovery condition were recorded and analyzed.Results The operation time was 5.5 to 29 minutes,with average time of 16.5 minutes,no ureteral avulsion,ureteral fragmen-tation and massive haemorrhage happened.All patients were followed up for 6 to 36 months,591 cases(94.1%)were cured,29 cases (4.6%)of postoperative stricture recurrence received endovascular treatment again,8 patients(1.3%)conversion to open ureterolithotomy. Conclusion Endovascular treatment of ureteral stricture is diversified within holmium laser incision,it has the advantages of shorter opera-tion time,fewer complications,less trauma,repeatability and so on,which is an effective and safe treatment method.

OBJECTIVE: To establish a more reliable and accurate scale of perinatal maternal health literacy during perinatal period by selecting items form existing scale. METHODS: Two rounds of inquiry were performed by 14 experts on mother and children to evaluate the necessary and importance of 56 items by Delphi method, in which 50 items were retained. Th en we proceeded a cross-sectional survey in 350 woman who just gave birth 1-3 days before. 10% of them were selected to retest aft er 1 week. Based on these data, we used 6 different methods to select items and kept those that could pass by at least 3 different methods. The methods used in data analysis were Chi-square test, correlation coefficient method (2 kinds), factor analysis, Cronbach α coefficient method and the retest reliability method. RESULTS: The Person correlation coefficient was 0.507 (P=0.004). By using the 6 statistical methods, we deleted 9 items through Chi-square test, 25 items through correlation coefficient method 1, 1 item through correlation coefficient method 2, 19 items through Cronbach α coefficient method, 8 items through factor analysis and 37 items through retest reliability method. In the end, 33 items were retained for the novel scale of maternal health literacy during perinatal period. CONCLUSION Simplified novel scale is acquired, which need to do large efforts before extensive use, such as large sample survey, reliability and validity test.
