Objective To discuss the prevention and management of complications of transurethral electrovaporization of the prostate(TUVP).Methods A total of 820 patients underwent TUVP from June 1998 to August 2005.A Wolf electrovaporization system and a F_(24) 12? resectoscope were used.After the seminal colliculus was identified for making a reference plane,the prostatic tissues were removed untill the surgical envelope,and the bladder neck and the apex of prostate were surgically shaped.Results Complications occurred in 124 patients(15.1%,124/820).There were 17 cases of intraoperative complications(2.0%),including massive haemorrhage in 6 patients(0.7%),presymptoms of transurethral resection syndrome in 6 patients(0.7%),and perforation on the juncture of the bladder and the prostate in 5 patients(0.6%).There were 107 cases of postoperative complications(13.0%), including urethral stricture in 18 patients(2.2%),spasm of the bladder in 32 patients(3.9%),secondary hemorrhage in 3 patients(0.4%),retrograde ejaculation in 11 patients(1.3%),temporary incontinence in 13 patients(1.6%),infection of the urinary tract in 24 patients(2.9%),and acute pulmonary thromboembolism in 6 patients(0.7%). Conclusions Preoperative precautions and clear intraoperative exposure are essential to prevent the incidence of complications of TUVP.

BACKGROUND: The nucleus pulposus tissue engineering is regarded as an ideal method in repairing intervertebral disc degeneration. However, the resource of nucleus pulposus cells is limited, so seed cell plays a vital role in nucleus pulposus (NP) tissue engineering. OBJECTIVE: To verify whether adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) can differentiate into NP-like cells induced by three-dimensional scaffold. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: An in vitro observation based on cell-materials level was performed at the Orthopaedic Research Institute, General Hospital of Beijing Military Area Command of Chinese PLA from July to December 2008. MATERIALS: Three Japanese big-eared rabbits with 3-months old were provided by Vital River Laboratory Animal Technology Co., Ltd., and the medical chitosan was purchased from Golden-shell Biochemical Co., Ltd. METHODS: The ADSCs were isolated from the rabbit adipose and then subcultured with collagenase digestion. The second ADSCs were prepared 50 uL cell suspension (5×10~6 cells), and mixed with 150 uL chitosan-alginate (C/A) and cultured in a12-well plate for 20 minutes in room temperature to obtain C/A gel. The experiment divided into 3 groups, in the control group, 2 mL DMEM containing 10% fetal bovine serum was added; DMEM containing bovine serum albumin, transforming growth factor-1 (TGF), hexadecadrol, vitamin C, bone morphogenetic protein-7,1% ITS was added, and then cultured with 2% O_2 or 20% O_2. All the samples were placed in incubator at a humidified atmosphere of 5% O_2 at 37 V for 21 days. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Histomorphological observation; levels of proteoglycan, as well as type II collagen. RESULTS: The scanning electron microscopy showed that ADSCs grew well on the chitosan-alginate scaffolds, which was positive to oil-O staining and Alcian blue staining. More proteoglycan was produced. With time increasing, there was no significant change in the proteoglycan content and type II collagen in the control group. The content of proteoglycan and collagen type II was higher in the induced group, which had difference to the control group (P < 0.001, P < 0.05). Meantime, the expression of collagen type II and proteoglycan was greater in hypoxia-induced group than that of normoxia-induced group (P<0.05, P<0.01). CONCLUSION: Rabbit ADSCs growing on the scaffolds of chitosan-alginate gel may differentiate towards NP-like cells under certain conditions, especially better under hypoxia state.

Objective To test the utility of a new type of inflatable rehabilitation boot in the treatment of Danis-Weber type-A stable external malleolus fractures. Methods Fifty-four patients with stable external malleolus fractures were randomized into two groups. After closed reduction, the observation group was treated by immobilisation with the inflatable rehabilitation boot and the control group with a plaster slab. All were instructed to avoid weight-bearing on the affected side. The swelling volume of the injured limb was measured by drainage measurement before treatment and at the 1st, 3rd and 7th days after treatment. Pain was evaluated using a visual analogue scale (VAS) score before treatment and after 12, 24 and 72 hours. All of the ankles were x-rayed to recheck for displacement after 2weeks. Results The average volume of the injured limbs in the observation group was significantly less than in the control group at every time point. The average VAS score in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group. Fracture displacement in the observation group was also significantly better. Conclusions The inflatable rehabilitation boot has better curative efficacy than the typical plaster slab for patients with stable external malleolus fractures in terms of improving edema in the injured limb, relieving pain and preventing fracture displacement.

Objective To investigate the changes in cerebral cAMP and PKA levels during development of acute opioid tolerance induced by remifentanil and to determine whether post-receptor cAMP/PKA signaling pathway is involved in the process. Methods Fifty-six male Kunming mice weighing 25-35 g were randomly divided into 5 groups: group Ⅰ control (C) (n=8); group Ⅱ received morphine infused intraperitoneally (IP) at 0.6 μg'kg-1·min-1 for 120min(M) (n=8); group Ⅲ,Ⅳ,Ⅴ received remifentnil infused IP at 0.4, 0.8 and 1.6 μg·kg-1·min-1 for 120 min(R1=8, R2n=8; R3 n=24).Control group received IP infusion of normal saline. Tail-flick test was performed td measure the response of animals to a thermal nociceptive stimulus before IP infusion, at 30, 60, 90 and 120 min after beginning of IP infusion and at 15, 30, 45 and 60 min after termination of IP infusion. Eight animals were decapitated at 60 min after termination of IP infusion in all 5 groups and the other 16 animals in group R3 were decapitated at 30 and 45 min after termination of IP infusion (n=8 each) for determination of intracellular contents of cAMP and activities of PKA in cerebral cortex and inferior colliculus-striatum by ELISA or radioactive isotope [32p,] ATP-catalyzing assay. Results The tail-flick latency was significantly prolonged during IP infusion as compared with the baseline before infusion in group M, R1 , R2 and R3 but became significantly shorter at 30 and 45 min after infusion than the baseline values in group R1, R2 and R3indicating hyperalgesia after remifentauil infusion. The cerebral contents of cAMP and PKA activities at 60 min after termination of infusion were comparable or decreased in group M, R1, R2 and R3 as compared with group C. There was no significant difference in cerebral cAMP contents and PKA activities at 30, 60 and 45 min after IP remifentanil infusion in group R3. Conclusion Remifentanil can induce acute hyperalgesic effect on mice, and there is no up-regulation of post-receptor cAMP/PKA signaling pathway in the acute opioid tolerance, which is not similar to that chronic opioid tolerance.

Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) is a clonal disorders characterized by ineffective hematopoiesis,which can lead to either fatal cytopenias or acute myelogenous leukemias (AML).MDS mainly occurs in the elderly population.The current use of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for MDS patients is the only medical care,but not available for patients who are above 60 years.Recently,several new biological and chemotherapeutic agents have been used in the treatment of MDS alone or jointlly,which may result in the improvement of hematologic parameters and the prevention of disease progression.
