Objective To evaluate the detenia cecocolon urinary reservoir for 30 patients with bladder cancer after total cystectomy. Methods A detenia continent cecocolon urinary reservoir was constructed for 30 patients with bladder cancer after total cystectomy. Results The patients have been followed up for 8～40 months. The capacity of the reservoir has been 360～580 ml with a maximum pressure of 19.5～78.5 cmH 2O one year later .Good continence has been achieved during day time in 93% and at night in 90%. Unileteral ureter stenosis and slight hydronephrosis was found on ultrasonography,IVU and pouch photography in 1 case. There has been no evidence of ureter reflux or impairment of renal function and serum electrolytes have been normal in all. Conclusions Detenia continent cecocolon pouch is fairly good for urinary diversion and the technique is simpler, easier with minimal complications.

Objective To analyze the efficacy and the safety of ultrasound guided multiple-spot sector stereotaxis in unipolar cooling cycle radiofrequency ablation treatment of adrenal malignant tumors.Methods 36 adrenocortical carcinoma primary or metastatic tumors were treated with ultrasound guided percutaneous radiofrequency ablation by the multiple spot sector stereotaxis in unipolar cooling cycle.All patients were performed contrast enchanced ultrasound (CEUS) 15 minutes after treatment to determine whether the tumors were completely inactivated,if did not completely inactivated based on the imaging,the same therapy can be repeated.To evaluate response,contrast-enhanced CT scans (CECT) or CEUS were obtained 1 month after the procedure,if did not completely inactivated,the same therapy can be repeated.Before and after the procedure,the blood cortisol,adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and sugar level were detected and compared respectively.Results The efficacy:in the 36 lesions,31 lesions were inactivated and 5 lesions were residual by realtime CEUS.32 lesions were inactivated and 4 lesions were residual by CECT one month after the RFA therapy.There were no significant differences between the two groups(x2 =0.127,P =0.722).The hormone level:the blood cortisol,ACTH and sugar level were recovered normal after the therapy.The complication and adverse reaction:①Pain:all the patients felt slight pain and thermal expasion of the ablation region,among them,19 patients felt obvious pain were relieved after using analgesic.② Fluctuation of heart rate:14 patients' heart rate were slowed down,it was reached to 25-55 beats per minute,0.5mg atropine was given by intravenous injection to make the heart rate return to normal.③ Fluctuation of bloodpressure:9 patients' bloodpressure were elevated in the procedure,systolic pressure was 21-28 kPa,diastolic pressure was 13-19 kPa,5 mg nicardipine was given then relieved.There was no serious complication and dead cases in all the patients.Conclusions RFA is a safe and effective procedure for the treatment of adrenal malignant tumors and has great value in clinic applications.

Objective To study the relationship between the bladder outlet obstruction(BOO)and the area under the curve of detrusor during voiding related parameters. Methods One hundred and thirty-eight patiens with benign prostate hyperplasia(BPH) underwent clinical evaluation, including physical examination, flow rate and post-void residual volume measurement. Pressure flow studies were performed. Mean patient age was 68 years (range 56 to 82). The AG number and the LinPURR were recorded to classify the patients into 3 groups, namely unobstructed, equivocal obstructed and obstructed, as the traditional classification. Two new parameters including the area under the curve of detrusor pressure during voiding(AUCdet) and the area under the curve of detrusor pressure during voiding adjusted for voided volume(AUCdet/Vol) were calculated and compared with the traditional classification using the Linear discriminant analysis. Results According to the traditional classification, there were 33 unobstructed, 32 equivocal and 44 obstructed cases. The AUCdet and AUCder/Vol of the 3 groups were different(P＜0.001). Linear discriminant analysis showed that of the cases, 90. 9%(30/33), 43.8%(14/32) and 70. 5%(31/44) were identically categorized by the traditional and the AUCdet/Vol classifications in the unobstructed, equivocal and obstructed groups, respectively. Conclusions The area under the curve of detrusor pressure during voiding related parameters appear to be good parameters of the BOO in patients with BPH. Further studies are needed to test the reliability and validity of these new parameters.

Objective To study the change of clinical and urodynamic parameters in the patients with lower urinary tract symptom (LUTS) caused by detrusor overactivity (DO). Methods Two hundred and twenty-seven patients with LUTS underwent clinical evaluation from October 2006 to December 2008, including Prostate Volume (PV), International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), Peak Flow rate (PF) and Residual Urine (RU) measurement. Pressure flow studies were performed. The detrusor overactivity was recorded to classify the patients into 2 groups, DO group and none DO group. The clinical and urodynamic parameters were compared between the two groups. Results Mean patient age was 70 years (range 52 to 89). According to the urodynamic results, there were 126 patients in DO group and 101 patients in none DO group. The mean patients age was older in DO group than the none DO group(P＜0.05). Adjusted by age, the PV, PF, and RU were no different between the two groups(P>0.05). The mean first sensation of bladder, bladder compliance, cystometric capacity, bladder outlet obstruction parameters, single voiding volume and max detrusor pressure during contraction were different between the two groups(P＜0.05). Conclusions The main risk factors of DO are the ageing and BOO. The non invasive parameters such as PV、 PF、 and RU could not be used to judge DO. The changes of urodynamic parameters caused by DO were hyperaesthesia of bladder、lower bladder compliance、 higher max detrusor pressure and lower max cystometric capacity. This study emphasis the importance of the urodynamic studies in the aged patients with LUTS.

Objective To establish computer assisted virtual ureteroscopy (VU) through data from computerized tomography urography (CTU) of patients with renal stones and make validation of effectiveness.Methods From June of 2015 to January of 2016,23 cases of renal stones cases was selected by 5 experts in 3 different centers.There were 21 unbilateral cases and 2 bilateral cases.The age ranged from 31 to 79(54.7 ± 12.5).Mean stone burden was (19.0 ± 6.2) mm.Stone number ranged from 1 to 5 (2.7 ± 1.2).VU generation was accomplished by specialized software (Crusher) with incorporating CTU data.After patientspecific VUs were presented to the experts,and the FURS surgeries were all finished successfully,face and content validations about VU using modified Likert questionnaire ordinal 10-point rating scales were made.20 trainee were selected to do the flexible ureteroscopy lithotripsy with assistance of VU.After observation of CTU and VU,the numbers of renal calyces and stones found by the experts and trainees were recorded.The statistical analysis were made before and after observation of VU between the experts and trainees.Result Face and content validation of VU:overall usefulness 7.6 ± 0.5,graphics 7.6 ± 0.5,intrarenal collecting system 8.4 ± 0.5,stone details 8.4 ± 0.5,usefulness in surgical planning and training 8.0 ± 0.7.Significant improvement was found when the trainees doing the surgery with the help of VU.Compared with using CTU only,VU could help the trainees had better understanding of intrarenal structure and stone information [the number of calyces (16.7 ±3.7)vs.(24.6 ± 1.8),P ＜0.001;the number of stones (4.9 ± 1.4)vs.(8.2 ± 1.3),P ＜0.001].Before observation of VU,trainees found much fewer calyces and stones compared with experts (P =0.004 and P ＜ 0.001 respectively).However,this gap disappeared after VU observation (P =0.327 and 0.292 respectively).Conclusions Establishing computer assisted VU through CTU data from renal stone patients is feasible and rapid.VU can significantly improve trainee's view of intrarenal collecting system and stone information before practicing FURS.

Vibrio splendidus is an opportunistic pathogen in aquaculture. It can infect a variety of aquaculture animals and has caused huge losses to the aquaculture industry. In this study, a novel and efficient method for detecting V. splendidus was developed by combining the exonuclease Ⅲ amplification strategy with a nucleic acid test strip developed based on gold nanoparticles-labeled DNA probe. The results could be directly visualized by naked eyes, and this system overcame the difficulty in preparation of the monoclonal antibody used in conventional immunostrip. Upon optimization of experimental conditions, the detection limit of the strip was 5 ng/mL for the synthetic oligonucleotide DNA fragment and 10 ng/mL for the actual genomic DNA sample of V. splendidus. This test strip was more sensitive compared with the PCR method and was specific for the detection of V. splendidus. The rapid preparation of nucleic acid strip and the efficient detection of V. splendidus open a new way for the prevention and control of aquatic diseases.

Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of low dose of oral desmopressin in elderly women with nocturia. Methods Eligible female patients with nocturia older than 60 years were included in this study.A total of 97 patients were randomly divided into 2 groups.Care was taken to match the patients of the two groups by age and clinical criteria.Control group (n=48 ) received liquid restriction during nighttime.Experimental group (n=49) received 0.1 mg desmopressin at bedtime and liquid restriction for 8 weeks.Patients were required to visit the outpatient clinic from the first visit,and after 4 and 8 weeks of treatment.Patients maintained flow volume charts and used diaries to record voiding data throughout the study.At each visit,all patients were evaluated by blood biochemical routine test,mean nocturnal urine volume,mean number of nocturia,mean duration of the first sleep period and sleep quality.At baseline,all the patient's blood sodium,liver and kidney function were normal. Results After 4 weeks of treatment with desmopressin,28 patients (57.1％) had less than 2 voids.15 patients (31.3％) in the control group had less than 2 voids.After 8 weeks,35 patients (71.4％) with desmopressin had less than 2 voids.16 patients (33.3％) in the control group had less than 2 voids.Compared with control group,nocturia cure rate in experimental group was significantly higher after 4 weeks and 8 weeks (P ＜ 0.05).After 8weeks,desmopressin significantly decreased mean nocturnal urine output from 590 ± 70 ml to 376 ± 50 ml (P ＜ 0.05).Mean nocturnal urine output in the control group was not significantly decreased from 600 ± 90 ml to 550 ± 60ml (P ＞0.05) ; Mean number of nocturia before and after receiving desmopressin were 2.9 and 1.6 respectively which differed significantly (P ＜ 0.05).Mean number of nocturia before and after in control group were 2.8 and 2.3 respectively with no significant difference (P ＞ 0.05).The mean duration of the first sleep period increased by 73％ (from 2.2 to 3.8 h) in the desmopressin group,compared with an increase of 19％ (from 2.1 to 2.5 h) in the control group (P ＜ 0.05).39 (79.6％) patients in demopressin group were satisfied with sleep quality compared with only 15 (31.3％) patients in control group were satisfied (P ＜ 0.05).No serious complications were found during the medication.All the patient's blood sodium,liver and kidney function remained normal during treatment. Conclusions Low does oral administration of desmopressin could be an effective and well-tolerated treatment for nocturnal polyuria in elderly women.

Objective To explore the pathological and clinical features of renal epithelioid angiomyolipoma (EAML). Methods From February 2001 to June 2010,4 cases of renal epithelioed angiomyolipoma (EAML) diagnosed in our unit were reviewed on their clinical and histopathological feathers retrospectively.The prognosis of renal EAML were evaluated according to the immunohistochemical findings.Of the 4 cases,the first case had a history of nodular sclerosis and presented a sign of hemorrage caused by the rupture of the tumor.The second case also showed a sign of hemorrage complicated with hemorrhagic shock.The third case had no symptom,but suffered from clear cell carinoma concomitantly on the other kidney.The fourth case came for consultation for his bilateral angiomyolipoma.All the 4 cases had fat composition founded in their CT scans. Results The first case was taken biopsy on the tumor of her right kidney,and lost of follow-up 6 months later.The second case undertaken radical nephrectomy,and no tumor recurrence detected after 10 months follow-up.The third case undertaken right nephron-sparing nephrectomy,and left nephron-sparing nephrectomy 6 months later.No recurrence detected during the follow-up 8 months later.Bilateral resection of the angiomyolipoma was performed on the fourth case,and a malignancy on the left kidney was deteceded 6 years later,then a radical nephrectomy was performed.But liver metastasis was founded half a year later during the follow-up.Immunohistochemcial staining of these tumors showed positive HMB45 and Melan-A but negative CK and EMA. Conclusions Renal EMAL has malignant potentiality,and the aggressiveness of it makes the close follow-up compulsive.Immunohistochemcial study is useful for diagnosis and differential diagnosis,even helpful to assess the prognosis.

Objective To study the role of B-mode ultrasound found bladder trabeculation in evaluating the degree of bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) and the bladder function in benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) patients.Methods Conducted prospective research to determine differences in clinical data and urodynamic parameters between BPH patients with and without bladder trabeculation diagnosed by abdominal ultrasound.Results Thirty-six BPH patients with bladder trabeculation were compared with 68 BPH patients without bladder trabeculation.The mean age was (73.7 ± 10.1 ) years for the patients with bladder trabeculation and ( 69.6 ± 6.2 ) years without bladder trabeculation, IPSS was 24.4 ± 6.6 and 22.8 ± 8.3 respectively, in which no significant differences were found ( P ＞ 0.05 ).The detrusor pressure at maximum flow rate was ( 131.7 ± 57.3 ) cm H20 and (92.1 ± 47.8 )cm H2O ) respectively.The linearized passive urethral resistance relation was 4.6 :± 1.1 and 3.5 ± 1.5 respectively, showing a significant difference ( P ＜.05 ) between the two groups.Seventy-two point two percent (26/36) of the patients with bladder trabeculation had a low compliance bladder, among whom 23.1% (6/26) of the patients had bilateral hydronephrosis with renal insufficiency.The percentage for the control group was 42.6% (29/68) and 10.3% (3/29) respectively (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The bladder trabeculation found by B-ultrasound in BPH patients suggests the existence of BOO and a high risk of bilateral hydronephrosis.Bladder trabeculation in patients without urinary retention suggests they are in compensation status.Relief of the obstruction is helpful to recovery of bladder function and the reduction of complications.

Objective To study the effect of Pioglitazone(PIO) on intimal hyperplasia after vein graft and its potential mechanism.Methods 32 male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divieded into two groups,one admisnistrated with PIO(3 mg· kg-1 · d-1) and the other with saline.A week later,the right common carotid arteries were reconstructed using homolateral external jugular veins in rats.The drugs treatment was continued after surgery for 2 or 4 weeks until grafted veins were harvested.The neointima thickness was measured by Computer image analysis software.To observe the activation of ERK1/2 pathway,the western blot were performed.In vitro,human great saphenous vein smooth muscle cells were co-cultured with PIO,and cells proliferation was detected by the CCK-8 assay.The TUNEL staining was performed to determine apoptosis.Results PIO treatment significantly attenuated intimal thickening compared with the the control group both at second [(8.56 ± 1.64) μm vs (25.44 ± 0.89) μm,P ＜ 0.01] and fourth week [(10.51 ± 1.47) μm vs (35.69 ± 1.07) μm,P ＜ 0.01)] after veins graft.Also PIO inhibited the ERK1/2 activation in grafted veins.In vitro,PIO significantly reduced PDGF-induced cells proliferation and increased cells apoptosis.Conclusion PIO effectively improved intimal hyperplasia in grafted veins perhaps associated with its ability to suppress vascular smooth muscle cells proliferation and enhance cell apoptosis,and might be related to the down regulation of ERK1/2 activity.
