Objective To observe the incidence and transformation of pyuria and bacteriuria in different time point after TURP and supply the evidence for antibiotic application.Methods From March,2011 to May,2012,84 patients with BPH admitted in our hospital.Their ages ranged from 61 to 87 years old,mean (71.9±7.6) years.The volume of prostate in those patients ranged from 27.8 to 118 ml,mean (70.8±24.1) ml.The procedure of TURP was undergone in all of them.In one week after the operation,two urine specimens from each patient,one for urine routine examination and one for urine culture,were collected 24 h after the catheter have been withdrawn.The catheter was also cultured.During the following-up,urine routine examination and urine culture were regularly performed in 1,2,3 months after surgery.If the patient had both pyuria and bacteriuria,he should be excluded the study.Results The pyuria rate on one week,one month,two months and three months were 54.8％ (46/84),100.0％ (82/82),65.8％ (48/ 73),34.2％ (25/73),respectively.There is a significance difference among those groups (P＜0.05).It seemed that the pyuria would appear in all patients.However,the incidence would gradually decrease.It seemed that the pyuria has the tendency of self-recovery.A significant difference of prostatic resection volume after 3 months could be observed in the pyuria group (31.4±15.2 ml) and non-pyuria group (24.8±11.6 ml) (P＜0.05).The bacteriuria rate on one week,1,2,3 months were 7.1％ (6/84),11.0％ (9/82),6.8％ (5/73)and 0,respectively.There is no significance difference among the groups (P＞0.05).Conclusions Pyuria will appear after TURP and the incidence reduced gradually following the time.The pyuria alone without the bacteriuria may be explained by inflammation,that antibiotics were unnecessary.The bacteriuria alone without the pyuria may be considered as asymptomatic bacteriuria or bacterial colonization,antibiotics were unnecessary,either.

Objective:To explore the prevention effect of forced-air warming to the upper body on hypothermia during thoracoscopic surgery in the lateral decubitus position.Methods:A total of 82 patients undergoing thoracoscopic surgery in the lateral position from December 2018 to July 2019 in Jiangsu People's Hospital, the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University were divided into upper body group and lower body group according to the random number table method. Each group was 41 cases. Patients received forced-air warming on the upper body or lower body in the upper body group and lower body group, respectively. The bladder temperature was measured as core temperature at operation room, intubation, start of the surgery, 30 min after surgery, 60 min after surgery, 90 min after surgery, 120 min after surgery, end of the surgery. The incidence of intraoperative hypothermia, perioperative adverse complications and vital index at leaving the room were compared between upper body group and lower body group.Results:The core temperature at start of the surgery, 30 min after surgery, 60 min after surgery, 90 min after surgery were (36.70±0.12), (36.65±0.16), (36.30±0.18), (36.32±0.19) ℃ in the upper body group, and (36.42±0.13), (36.32±0.17), (36.17±0.14), (36.21±0.15)℃ in the lower body group, the differences were statistically significant ( t values were 2.743-10.362, P<0.05). However, there was no statistically significant in the core temperature at other time points between the two groups ( P>0.05). The incidences of intraoperative hypothermia and perioperative shiver were 12.2%(5/41), 4.9%(2/41) in the upper body group, and 31.7%(13/41), 21.9%(9/41) in the lower body group, the differences were statistically significant ( χ2 values were 4.556, 5.145, P<0.05). There was no statistically significant in the other perioperative adverse complications and vital index at leaving the room between two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Forced-air warming was more effective on the upper body in resistive body core temperature. Besides, the incidences of hypothermia and shiver on the upper body is lower.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the role of interferon to increase the sensibilization of MGMT positive glioma stem cel s to temozolomide in vitro. METHODS:Glioma cel lines, U251 and SKMG-4, were induced by suspended cloning bal formation method to harvest MGMT positive glioma stem cel s, U251G and SKMG-4G. Cel counting kit-8 assay was used to detect the kil ing effect of interferonα/βcombined with temozolomide on MGMT positive glioma stem cel s. RT-PCR and western blot assay were employed to determine the expression of MGMT and nuclear factorκB in MGMT positive glioma stem cel s. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Western blot results showed positive expression of MGMT in U251G and SKMG-4G cel s at protein levels. After intervention with interferonα/β, the mRNA expression of MGMT and nuclear factorκB in SKMG-4G and U251G cel s was reduced significantly, and then further decreased after temozolomide treatment. These findings indicate that interferonα/βcan remarkably strengthen the kil ing effect of temozolomide on MGMT positive glioma stem cel s.

Objective To study the effect of coenzymes complex combined with vitamin E on liver and kidney inju-ry induced by neonatal hyperbilirubinemia. Methods One hundred and fifty full-term neonatals with hyperbilirubinemia were chosen as observation groups, who were divided into mild, moderate and severe groups according bilirubin. Forty five healthy full-term newborns in the same period, who are either healthy or with physiological jaundice, were selected as con-trol group. Serum total bilirubin, gamma-glutamyl transferase (γ-GGT) , Malondialdehyde (MDA) and Cys-C were measured within 24 hours of hospital admission.The observation groups were randomly divided into regular and combined treatment groups. Coenzymes complex combined with vitamin E were given in addition to regular method to combined group while reg-ular group only received regular methods.All above biochemical indexes were tested in the 7th day after medication admin-istration. Results Serum MDA were higher in all observation groups (mild, moderate and severe groups) than in control group (P＜0.05);but the levels ofγ-GGT and Cys-C increased in moderate and severe groups compared with control group (P＜0.05). There were positive correlations (P＜0.05) between levels of serum total bilirubin with MDA,γ-GGT and Cys-C. Positive linear correlation were found between MDA with γ-GGT and Cys-C(P＜0.01). After early intervention,γ-GGT, Cys-C and MDA declined with drop of bilirubin level. This is more prominent and faster in a in combined treatment group than regular group (P＜0.05).Conclusion In hyperbilirubinemia newborns, lipid peroxidation activated by bilirubin may lead to damages of liver and kidney. Coenzymes combined with vitamin E have protective effect to these damages.

Objective:To analyze the relationship of lipoprotein associated phospholipase A 2 (Lp-PLA2) and severity of coronary atherosclerosis, and evaluate the effects of rosuvastatin at different doses on the concentration of plasma Lp -PLA2.Methods: Totally 152 cases of patients with suspected coronary heart disease were treated with coronary angiography .According to the results of angiogra-phy, the patients were divided into the coronary heart disease group ( n=117 ) and the normal control group ( without coronary heart disease,n=35).Gensini integral scale was performed and referring to the number of diseased coronary arteries , the degree of coronary atherosclerosis was evaluated .The concentration of serum Lp-PLA2 was detected and the relationship of Lp-PLA2 and the severity of coronary plaque was evaluated .Meanwhile , the patients with coronary heart disease were divided into 2 groups and orally treated with rosuvastatin respectively at the routine dose (10 mg· d-1 ) and the loading dose (20 mg· d-1 ).The changes of the plasma concentra-tion of Lp-PLA2 before the treatment, in the 2nd, 4th,8th and 12th week after the medication were measured and the effect of atorvastatin at different doses on the plasma concentration of Lp-PLA2 was summarized .Results: The plasma Lp-PLA level in the control group was (22.22 ±1.75) μmol· ml-1, while that in the coronary heart disease group was (29.03 ±3.99) μmol· ml-1(P<0.05).The differences in Lp-PLA2 levels between the groups with different Gensini scores of coronary heart disease were statistically significant ( P<0.05).The higher scores were, the higher Lp-PLA2 levels were.The results of multivariate analysis showed that the severity of cor-onary atherosclerosis was significant and positive correlated with Lp-PLA2 level (OR=1.613,P<0.05).In the 2nd, 4th, 8th and 12th week after the medication , Lp-PLA2 levels in the loading dose group were significantly lower than those in the routine dose group ( P<0.05).In the 2nd, 4th, 8th and 12th week after the medication, the degree scores of coronary artery stenosis in the loading dose group were reduced.The decreasing range was significantly greater than that in the routine dose group (P<0.05).The incidence of adverse cardiovascular events in the routine dose group (27.12%) was significantly higher than that in the loading dose group (6.90%) ( P<0.05).The incidence of adverse drug reactions in the routine dose group was 11.86%, while that in the loading dose group was 18.97%(P>0.05).Conclusion:Lp-PLA2 is correlated with the severity of coronary plaque .High dose of rosuvastatin can reduce plasma Lp-PLA2 concentration in the patients .

Objective To study the effects of quantitative 24-hour urinary protein on the thyroid hormone levels in patients with severe preeclamp-sia,and clarify the impact of severe urinary protein on hypothyroid in severe preeclampsia patients. Methods A total of 166 patients with severe pre-eclampsia were recruited for the study and divided into mild proteinuria group(2.0-4.9 g/d),midrange group(5-10 g/d)and severe group(>10 g/d)according to the quantitative 24-hour urinary protein. 268 healthy female individuals with normal blood pressure and uric routine in the same stage of pregnancy and of the same age were selected into control group. Serum thyrotropin(TSH),free triiodothyronine(FT3)and free thyroxine (FT4)levels were determined by solid-phase chemiluminescent enzyme immunoassay method(CMIA). The thyroid peroxidase antibody(TPOAb) and thyroglobulin antibody(TGAb)concentration were detected by electrochemiluminescent assay(ECLIA). Results TSH levels were signifi-cantly higher in patients comparing to the control group(P<0.01). In addition,severe group showed higher TSH levels than mild group(P<0.01). FT4 and FT3 levels were obviously decreased with the progression of the disease(P<0.01 and P<0.05). The positive rate of TPOAb in mild group was significantly higher than that in moderate group(OR=9.8,P<0.05). There was no significant difference of the TGAb positive rate among three patient groups(P>0.05). The incidence of subclinical hypothyroidism and clinical hypothyroidism in severe group was significantly higher than that in mild group and in control group(OR=2.5,P<0.05 and OR=9.0,P<0.05;OR=8.0,P<0.01 and OR=43.4,P<0.01). Conclusion Our re-sults indicated that 24-hour urine protein in severe preeclampsia patients has extensive effects on thyroid hormones levels. With the increasing of quantitative 24-hour urinary protein,the level of TSH increased and the FT4 decreased. Thyroid autoantibody positiveness has extensive effects on 24- hour urine protein. Incidence of hypothyroid increased with the increase of quantitative 24-hour urinary protein. 24-hour urinary protein quantitative was a risk factor for hypothyroidism in severe preeclampsia patients. More attention should be paid to the monitoring of 24-hour urinary protein in se-vere preeclampsia patients.
