Objective To evaluate the value of photodynamic diagnosis for early detection of bladder cancer using narrow band imaging fluorescence cystoscopy. Methods A total of 28 cases of painless hematuria underwent narrow band imaging(NBI) endoscopy and biopsy. The procedure was as follows: biopsies were taken from lesions that were either fluorescing or nonfluorescing using endoscopy by NBI system) and then TUR was performed on them. Results Of the 28 cases, 79 biopsies were taken. Histopathologic examination showed that 32 of them were of urothelial cell carcinoma. Compared with white light cystoscopy, NBI had a sensitivity of 100% (32/32) ,flat small fluorescence positive lesions were found in peritumoral or other regions, which could not be detected by white light cystoscopy. Conclusion Photodynamic diagnosis using NBI fluorescence cystoscopy is useful for detection of early bladder cancer.

Objective To summarize the clinical features,neuroimaging findings and pathological characteristics of demyelinating pseudotumors(DPT)of the brain,and to differentiate it from glioma. Methods The clinical features,neuroimaging findings and pathological characteristics of 35 patients with demyelinating pseudotumors of the brain were summarized,and the diagnosis for 18 of them was confirmed by bioscopy.Results Demyelinating pseudotumors affected adults of both sexes.The onset age of patients ranged from 9 to 69 years old.There was no definite antecedent,and the clinical syndromes were atypical. Neuroimaging scans showed multiple lesions in cerebral hemisphere,while the lesion in brain stem and spinal cord was single.The symptom and neuroimaging were not parallel.While with many or large lesions, the symptoms and signs were less.The lesions were not enhanced on CT scan,but appeared round or patch enhancement on MRI scan.Nine patients with DWI all appeared high density.The myelin basic protein was useful for diagnosis.The typical pathological changes were demyelination,perivascular inflammatory infiltration and reactive gliosis.The Creutzfeuldt cells were also found in these patients.The lesions might become small or disappear after treatment,but could not serve as the criterion to exclude brain neoplasm. Conclusions DPT is a distinct demyelination disease entity,which is confusable with brain neoplasm.It is difficult to distinguish DPT from brain neoplasm with the clinical features and conventional neuroimaging scan.But DWI scan is useful.The pathological changes accord with demyelination,and Creutzfeuldt cells are also found.It is important to apply corticosteroid treatment or biopsy rather than being anxious to excise the lesions.

Objective To report the experience in the use of laparoscopic extravascular stent for the treatment of the nutcracker syndrome. Methods Five patients (4 men and 1 woman) aged 20 to 35 years (mean 25) underwent laparoscopic extravascular stent of the left renal vein (LRV) for treatment of nutcracker syndrome associated with severe recurrent gross hematuria and left gonadal vein varices. All patients met the criteria for establishing the diagnosis of nutcracker syndrome. Ultrasonography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging revealed visible entrapment of the LRV between the superior mesenteric artery and aorta. Bleeding from the left ureteral orifice was detected by cystoscopy in 3 cases. An externally reinforced graft was selected to form an external stent around the LRV to relieve the compression. Results The mean operation time was 67 min (65-70min). No complications occurred during surgery. The postoperative follow-up was 9 to 39 months (mean 28). Total relief was achieved in 4 men without a relapse of symptoms and abnormalities were not found in urine tests. There was partial relief for the female patient due to microscopic hematuria after the operation. In all the 5 cases, Color Doppler ultrasonography showed that the blood outflow was smooth, the inner diameter and flow velocity of the aortomesenteric portion of the LRV were both decreased, and the gonadal vein varices had diminished in diameter. Conclusions The laparoscopic extravgscular stent of the renal vein could be a feasible approach for re-establishing free renal venous outflow in patients with nutcracker syndrome. This slightly invasive treatment could eliminate the symptoms of the condition.

Objective To assess the effect of continuous renal-replacement therapy (CRRT) dose on the outcome of acute renal failure (ARF) patients with meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Methods Studies were identified by systematic search of peer-reviewed publications in Medline, EMBASE and Cochrane library database through June 2010. All the RCTs that compared the incidence of clinical outcome such as mortality, need for chronic dialysis between standard and low dose CRRT were eligible. The pooled relative risk (RR) for clinical outcome was compiled using a random-effects model. Heterogeneity was evaluated by means of subgroup and sensitivity analysis. Results Six eligible studies were identified. By meta-analysis, standard dose CRRT was associated with non-significant 13% mortality risk reduction (RR 0.87, 95%CI 0.70-1.07, P=0.19)and 13% composite outcome risk reduction of chronic dialysis dependence and mortality (RR 0.87, 95%CI 0.69-1.09, P=0.21), but the trend toward increased chronic dialysis dependence risk among survivors (RR 1.43, 95%CI 0.94-2.18, P=0.09). The overall test for heterogeneity among cohort studies was significant (P=0.001, I2=76.2%). The risk of mortality was modality was significantly lower in some studies of which delivered dose was moer than 35 ml·kg-1·min-1,modality was continuous venous-venous hemofiltration (CVVH) and major cause was non-sepsis treated with standard dose CRRT. Conclusions Standard dose CRRT in patients with ARF does not improve survival, renal recovery and composite outcome, but decreases mortality in important subgroups including those with higher delivered dose, CVVH and non-sepsis.
