Objective To investigate the incidence of renal dysfunction among patients received radical nephrectomy during 5-year follow-up and to discover the risk factors for chronic kidney dysfunction (CKD).Methods Data of 339 patients who underwent radical nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma between Jan.2006 to Dec.2007 were investigated,and those who suffered renal dysfuntion before surgery or lost follow-up were excluded.Finally,148 patients were enrolled in this retrospective study.GFR after surgery were replaced by eGFR which were calculated with the abbreviated equation of MDRD.It will be defined as CKD when eGFR was less than 60 ml/(min · 1.73 m2).Postoperative occurence rate of CKD was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier methods.Rank sum test and chi-square test were used for the univariate analysis in term of CKD between groups.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to judge the independent risk factors for CKD.Results Patients were followed up for 42-60 months.CKD occurred in 58 cases,and the 5 year cumulative incidence of CKD was 42.7％.As many as 17.4％ of the patients with a normal eGFR during the first 3 months follow-up would progress to CKD 5 years later.Clinical characteristics,including age at surgery,weight,body mass index,hypertension,preoperative total GFR and contralateral GFR,complications,size of tumor,pathologic type,eGFR calculated shortly after operation,were significantly different between the CKD group and the normal group (P＜0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis shows that age at surgery (P =0.016,OR =1.106),size of tumor (P =0.048,OR =0.680) and eGFR calculated within one week postoperatively (P=0.002,OR=0.874) were the independent risk factors for postoperative CKD.Conclusions The incidence of CKD after radical nephrectomy in patients with renal cell carcinoma is not uncommon.The of age at surgery,size of tumor and eGFR value calculated within one week postroperatively have a close relation with the incidence of postoperative CKD.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of radiation therapy for extracerebral large paracavernous sinus cavernoma.Methods8 cases with extracerebral large paracavernous sinus cavernomas treated with routine fractionated irradiation therapy alone were analyzed retrospectively with 1～4 year follow-up. ResultsThe volume of the tumor in all eight cases decreased in some degree, with ratio of 28.8% to 54.5%, after radiation therapy. ConclusionFor the extracerebral large cavernoma hard to excision, radiation therapy can decrease the tumor volume so that to wait for operation.

Objective To investigate the relationship between chronic prostatitis (CP) and male infertility. Methods 120 cases of male infertility patients with chronic prostatitis and 120 cases of male infertility patients with-out chronic prostatitis were analyzed. Results The differences of sperm quality、sperm movement function, partial bio-chemical indicator in semen and sperm aggregation in the two groups are significant (P<0.05). Conclusion CP plays an important negative role in male infertility.

Objective To investigate the creatinine level of wound drainage and the changes of serum creatinine after radical nephrectomy or partial nephrectomy in patients with renal cell carcinoma,to explore the feasibility of testing creatinine level to predict urine leakage after surgery and to compare the influence on rcnal function after different kinds of operations.Methods 65 patients data were analyzed,in which 31 patients had undergone partial nephrectomy and 34 had radical nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma from March 2012 to July 2012.The level of creatinine in serum and wound drainage were detected within 24 hours after surgery.Also,the serum creatinine were redetected 3 months later.Results The creatinine level of wound drainage were significantly lower than that in serum in both groups [(99.94±21.10) μmol/L vs (114.61± 25.09) μmol/L,P =0.000].Urine leakage was observed in only one patient (2.9 ％) after partial nephrectomy,which his level of creatinine in serum and wound drainage was 107 μmol/L and 686μmol/L,respectively.The other 30 patients' creatinine level of wound drainage were also significantly lower than serum after partial nephrectomy [(92.90±26.21) μmol/L vs (99.83±28.77) μmol/L,P =0.021).Although the level of creatinine in the wound drainage was not significantly different between these two groups (P =0.239),the serum creatinine was statistical lower in partial nephrectomy group than that of radical nephrectomy group (P =0.035).Also,after three months,the partial nephrectomy group had a lower level of serum creatinine [(81.43±12.82) μmol/L vs (106.53±21.73) μmol/1,P =0.001].Conclusion Partial nephrectomy has advantages in protecting renal function when compared with radical nephrectomy.The level of creatinine in wound drainage is significantly lower than serum.The level of creatinine in wound drainage is a predictive indicator for diagnosing urine leakage.

To explore the correlation between the ecological factors and the contents of podophyllotoxin and total lignans in root and rhizome of Sinopodophyllum hexandrum, podophyllotoxin in 87 samples (from 5 provinces) was determined by HPLC and total lignans by UV. A correlation and regression analysis was made by software SPSS 16.0 in combination with ecological factors (terrain, soil and climate). The content determination results showed a great difference between podophyllotoxin and total lignans, attaining 1.001%-6.230% and 5.350%-16.34%, respective. The correlation and regression analysis by SPSS showed a positive linear correlation between their contents, strong positive correlation between their contents, latitude and annual average rainfall within the sampling area, weak negative correlation with pH value and organic material in soil, weaker and stronger positive correlations with soil potassium, weak negative correlation with slope and annual average temperature and weaker positive correlation between the podophyllotoxin content and soil potassium.

OBJECTIVETo assess the clinical effectiveness of volar and radial column approach by plate fixation for the treat- ment of unstable fracture of distal radius.

METHODSAccording to Cochrane Systematic Review, Medline, Embase, Cochrane Li- brary, CNKI and CBM, randomised controlled trials (RCTs) of volar and radial column approach by plate fixation for the treat- ment of unstable fracture of distal radius were searched for from 1966 to 2014. Data analysis was performed with the Cochrane Collaboration's RevMan 5.0 software.

RESULTSTotally 391 patients of 6 RCTs and 2 retrospective cohort studys were included and divided into volar plate group (187 cases) and radial column plate group (204 cases). Meta-analysis result showed: compared with radial column plate group, volar plate group had significant difference in recovery of wrist function [SMD = 0.74, 95% CI (0.47, 1.01), P < 0.00001], Gartland-Werley scores [SMD = -1.39, 95% CI (-2.24, -0.53), P = 0.001], postoperative neural in- jury [OR = 3.67, 95% CI (1.37, 9.84), P = 0.01 1 and postoperative wrist pain [OR = 0.32, 95% CI (0.13, 0.74), P = 0.008]. But no significant difference was identified in DASH scores [SMD = -0.36, 95% CI (-0.97, 0.26), P = 0.25], radiographic result assess- ment [SMD = -0.18, 95% CI (-0.53, 0.16), P = 0.3], postoperative grip strength [SMD = 0.71, 95% CI (-0.12, 1.54),P = 0.09], postoperative tendinous damage [OR = 0.31, 95% CI (0.10, 0.98), P = 0.05] and carpal tunnel syndrome [OR = 0.96, 95% CI (0.63, 1.48), P = 0.87].

CONCLUSIONCompared with radial column plate internal fixation, volar approach plate fixation for treat- ment of distal radius intra-articular fracture has advantage of recovery of joint functionand. However, the volar approach plate fix- ation was associated with a higher risk of long-term complications than the radial column approach plate fixation.
