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patient,one for urine routine examination and one for urine culture,were collected 24 h after the catheter have been withdrawn.The catheter was also cultured.During the following-up,urine routine examination and urine culture were regularly performed in 1,2,3 months after surgery.If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 evaluate the clinical features and renal morphological changes of the patients with urinary tract infection associated ureteral stent.Methods From Oct.2012 to May.2013,21 patients were divided into three groups depending on the different conditions:Group A (n=7):patients who had febrile urinary tract infections associated with ureteral stents; Group B (n =7):patients with ureteral stents but no fever; Group C (n=7):patients who had febrile urinary tract infections but no ureteral stent.The clinical data,laboratory data and 99Tcm-dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) renal scintigraphy results were recorded prospectively and analyzed.Results In Group A,there were two patients had flank pain and positive costovertebral angle percussion tcnderness.The mean value of white blood cells and Hs-CRP of Group A and Group C were obviously higher than Group B (P＜0.05).The ratios of pyuria were 100.0％,71.4％ and 100.0％ in Group A,B and C.The ratios of positive urine bacteuria culture were 100.0％,42.9％ and 100.0％ in Group A,B and C.The results of 99Tcm-DMSA renal scintigraphy demonstrated the decreased uptake in the different portion of the kidneys on the sides of ureteral stents inserted in all the patients in Group A but no such changes in Group B and Group C.Conclusions 99Tcm-DMSA renal scintigraphy can be used to judge the status of urinary tract infection associated ureteral stent.The febrile urinary tract infection associated with ureteral stents always means pyelonephritis occurs and prompt treatment must be given.

Objective To explore the expression of FOXM1 in non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC) and the relationship between FOXM1 expression and the clinical pathological factors,clinical response to target-therapy in NSCLC remained unknown.Methods A total of 80 NSCLC patients were recruited into this study,FOXM1 expression was assessed by immunohistochemistry and analyzed with the clinical pathological factors and clinical response to target-therapy.Results The positive rate of FOXM1 expression was 41.25%.The positive expression of FOXM1 had no significant difference in patients with different age,gender,cancer staging,smoking history(P>0.05),but had significant difference in patients with different degree of differentiation,lymph node metastasis(P<0.05).Survival time in patients with positive FOXM1 expression was significant shorter than that with negative FOXM1 expression(P<0.05).Conclusion The expression of FOXM1 closely correlated with patients histological differentiation,lymph node metastasis,progress-free survival time in patients with positive FOXM1 expression was significantly shorter than those with negative FOXM1 expression.

Objective To investigate the cause of low rate for dementia diagnosiss in out-patient clinic.Methods All outpatients between September 15,2009 and December 25,2009 were screened by IQCODE,MMSE and neuropsychological examination.Diagnosis of dementia and its subtype were confirmed according to DSM-IV-TR,NINCDS-ADRDA,and NINDS-AIREN criteria.The caregivers of dementia patients were interviewed with questionnaire.Results There were 8,042 outpatients in the period and 1716 patients completed IQCODE,317 completed MMSE,72 completed a set of neuropsychological test.41 patients were diagnosed as dementia which composed of 23 cases of AD (56.1％),12 cases of vascular dementia(29.3％),2 cases of mixed dementia(4.9％),4 cases of other types of dementia(9.7％),and the prevalence of dementia at age of over 55 years was 1.8％ in out-patient clinics.Among the patients,18 cases were mild dementia (43.9％),19 moderate dementia (46.3 ％ ) and 4 severe dementia (9.8 ％).Four patients(9.8 ％ ) were diagnosed as dementia by case history,15 patients(36.5％) were diagnosed as dementia by clinic doctors,while 22 patients (53.7％) were diagnosed as dementia in the survey.35 caregivers finished questionaire,and 10 caregivers(28.6％) had no knowledge about dementia,22(62.8％) caregivers had a few knowledge and 3(8.6％) caregivers had lots of knowledge.19 (46.3％) dementia patients went to see a doctor with cognitive impairment and 22 (53.7 ％) with other symptoms.The reasons for delay in seeing a doctor included that caregivers considered the impairment of cognition as a result of normal aging (54.3％),patients rejected to see a doctor(14.3％),caregivers considered no treatment for dementia (5.7 ％),and there was economic reason ( 2.9％),inconvenient (8.5 ％) and others ( 14.3 ％).Conclusions The visiting rate of dementia patients in china is very low and many demented patients do not receive early diagnosis and treatment.Patients' delay may contribute to the lack of knowledge of caregivers,and to doctor's ignore of the cognitive impairment.

Objectives To study the clinical diagnostic value of soluble major histocompatibility complex class Ⅰ-related chain A(sMICA) and analyse the relationship of tumor biologic characteristics and sMICA in lung cancer. Methods The experimental level of sMICA was determined by ELISA in 116 lung cancer patients. The level of serum CEA, NSE, CA-199, CYFRA-211, SCC, ProGRP were determined by ELISA only in 91 lung cancer patients without any therapy. The level of sMICA in 50 normal persons was regarded as control group. Results The level of sMICA in lung cancer patients was significantly higher than that in control group (P<0.001); When sMICA cut-off was set as 240.5 ng/L, the sensitivity for the detection of lung cancer was 90.1%, the speciality was 46.9%. The positive rate of sMICA was significantly higher than that of CEA, NSE, CA-199, CYFRA-211, SCC, ProGRP(P<0.001 respectively); The level of sMICA in lung cancer patients with CR and PR after treatment were lower than that before treatment(P<0.05). The level of sMICA in lung cancer patients with relapse was higher than patients without any treatment (P<0.001). Conclusion SMICA may be a potential marker for diagnosing lung cancer with high sensitivity and speciality. It is associated with tumor progression and distant metastasis and may be helpful in the evaluation of diagnosis for lung cancer.

Objective To investigate the differences of curriculum designs for undergraduate nursing majors among different TCM colleges and universities;To provide evidence for the development of the accreditation standards for academic quality of baccalaureate degree program in TCM colleges and universities which can be used as the standards for teaching reform. Methods Cultivating plans of 20 TCM colleges and universities for undergraduate nursing majors were collected. Current status and deficiency in curriculum design were obtained through comparative study and statistical analysis.Results The course names were lack of standardization;proportion of Chinese and Western medicine related courses were unreasonable;theoretical and practice teaching were irrelevant;optional courses were greatly inconsistent and irrational. Conclusion The further reform of the curriculum design for the undergraduate nursing majors in TCM colleges and universities is in urgent need, which can be standardized by developing the accreditation standards for academic quality of baccalaureate degree program in universities of Chinese Medicine.

Objective:To detect the functional role of Fascin1 and its related molecular mechanisms in migration and invasion capacity of glioma cells,we utilized gene specific small interference RNA of Fascin1 in cell line U87 MG. Methods:Fascin1-siRNA or negative siRNA was transfected into U87 MG cells of control group or experiment group. Transwell method was employed to assess the migration and invasion capacity of glioma cells. Western blot analysis was used to detect the protein expression of Fascin1,pAKT and pSTAT3. The impact of PI3K/AKT pathway and STAT3 pathway on migration and invasion of U87 MG cells was verified,via applying LY294002 and LY294002,which was inhibitor of the two pathways respectively. Results:As compared to control groups,the migration and invasion capacity of transfected glioma cells were attenuated about 52% or 43%(P<0. 05),accompanied with the decreased phos-phorylation of AKT and STAT3. As utilizing the inhibitors of AKT and STAT3,attenuated migration and invasion capacity of U87 MG cells were observed. Conclusion:Down-regulated expression of Fascin1 could suppress the migration and invasion capacity of U87 MG cells by inhibiting the phosphorylation of PI3K/AKT pathway and STAT3 pathway.
