Objective To evaluate the effect of retroperitoneal laparoscopic ureterolithotomy (RLUL),ureteroscopy(URS),microchannel percutaneous nephrolithotomy (mPCNL) in the treatment of impacted upper ureteral calculi.Methods Clinical data of 105 cases with impacted upper ureteral calculi were retrospectively analyzed.The average residence time of stone in the same position was 8.6 (2-49) months and the average stone surface area were 171 (71-361)mm2 in 41 cases received RLUL treatment.The average residence time of stone in the same position was 9.5 (2-47) months and the average stone surface area were 159 (71-342)mm2 in 29 cases received URS treatment.The average residence time of stone in the same position was 8.9 (2-51) months and the average stone surface area were 165(71-353)mm2 in 35 cases received mPCNL treatment.Results In the RLUL group,surgery was successful in all patients and the stone-free rate was 100％ ;In the URS group,the surgery success rate was 93.1％ and the stone-free rate 1 month later was 92.6％ ;In the mPCNL group,the surgery success rate was 97.1％ and the stone-free rate 1 month later was 97.0％.The operation time in the URS group (mean 65 min,ranged 45-95 min)was longer than that in the RLUL(mean 46 min,ranged 25-70 min) and mPCNL(mean 51 min,ranged 39-80 min)groups (P＜0.05).The hospital stay in the URS group (mean 5.1 days,ranged 4-12 days) was shorter than that in the RLUL(mean 7.9 days,ranged 6-11 days) and mPCNL(mean 8.1 days,ranged 5-18 days)groups (P ＜ 0.05).The operation time and the hospital stay had no significant differences between the RLUL group and mPCNL group (P ＞ 0.05).The surgery success rate,stone-free rate and the serious complications of the three groups had no significant differences (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion The operation time of URS is shorter,but postoperative recovery is faster than that of RLUL and mPCNL groups.Although the incidence of serious complications has no statistically significant differences among the three treatments,but URS and mPCNL surgery have the potential risk of serious complications.RLUL does not increase the difficulty of operation,has less serious complications,and is a remedy for failure in URS and mPCNL operation.

Objective To study the relationship between the asthenia TCM syndromes in embryonic development stops and the level of zinc, iron, copper, magnesium, phosphorus, calcium in serum, and provide thoughts for assisting reproduction and preventing miscarriage. Methods Totally 100 patients of embryonic development stops were selected randomly (6-10 weeks gestation) to be the investigated group, with other 100 cases of live fetus as the control group. The contents of trace elements in serum were detected with atomic absorption spectrometry. Results The levels of trace elements in embryonic development stops patients were generally lower than the control group. The serum iron in patients with spleen deficiency syndrome, and serum zinc and iron in patients with kidney deficiency syndrome were significant lower (P<0.05). Conclusion The contents of trace elements in serum have relationships with asthenia TCM syndromes in embryonic development stops. It should be paid attention to supplementing trace elements during the gestation period. For patients with deficiency of kidney and spleen, the supplement of zinc and iron should be given greater prominence.

Objective To observe the clinical effect of "palace bone-setting" Dieda-Wanying cream combined with Yuan Shu Zhi Pai Zi fixation in the treatment of acute ankle sprain.Methods A total of 60 patients with acute ankle sprain were collected and randomly divided into observation group and control group according to the random number table method,with 30 cases in each group.The observation group was treated with "Palace Bone-setting" Dieda-Wanying cream combined with Yuan Shu Zhi Pai Zi for fixation.The control group was treated with external application of diclofenac diethylamine emulsion and fixation of elastic bandage.Two groups were treated for 14 days.The patients pain disappeared time and the swelling subsided,the VAS scale for assessment of ankle pain observed.The American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) Ankle-after scoring system was used to assess the Ankle function,evaluation of clinical curative effect.Results The pain disappear time (9.7 ± 1.6 d vs.13.4 ± 3.5 d,t=5.638),regression and time (3.5 ± 1.3 d vs.6.7 ± 1.1 d,t=10.292) in the observation group were significantly earlier than those in the control group (P＜0.01).After treatment,VAS score (1.9 ± 1.1 vs.3.3 ± 1.3,t=4.503) of the observation group significantly lower than that of the control group (P＜0.01);AOFAS score (93.6 ± 3.9 vs.84.2 ± 5.1,t=8.019) significantly higher than the control group (P＜0.01).Total effective rate in the observation group was 96.7％ (29/30),and the control group was 80.0％ (24/30),which the difference was statistically significant (x2=4.043,P=0.044).Conclusions The "Palace Bone-setting" Dieda-Wanying cream combined with Yuan Shu Zhi Pai Zi fixation has definite curative effect on acute ankle sprain,relieve pain,swelling and promote the ankle function.
