3 months) were involved in this study PV electrogram was divided into disorganized and organized patterns Segmental PV isolation was performed during AF guided by the earliest PV potential recorded on the basket catheter determined by the lone pause during disorganized pattern or organized PV electrogram The sites with the most disorganized activity during fast and irregular fibrillatory activity had been regarded as ablative target Elimination of PV potential in all PVs during AF, and confirmed by remapping of PV during sinus rhythm or atrial stimuli after cardioversion had been considered as the ablative end point (segmental PV isolation was performed repeatedly if PV potential still existed during sinus rhythm) Results Of the total 76 PVs in 20 patients who achieved PV isolation, 68 (89 5%) PV isolations were performed during AF Reappearance of PV potential occurred in 23(33 8%) during sinus rhythm after cardioversion, and isolation was achieved during sinus rhythm Procedure duration was 5 3?3 7 hours Fluoroscopy time was 2 7?3 8 minutes Recurrence of AF occurred in 11 (55%) patients during the 8?9 month follow up No operation related complication occurred Conclusion Segmental PV isolation for chronic AF is feasible, safe and effective Ablation guided by electrophysiological mapping can result in the elimination of PV potential Remapping of PV and repeated ablation during sinus rhythm after cardioversion is essential

Objective To explore the surgical treatment of urethral recurrence after neobladder reconstruction in patients with bladder cancer. Methods In 89 consecutive patients with radical cystectomy, 5 patients (5.6%) presented with a noninvasive urethral recurrence at a median of 18 months (range 9 to 32 months). All 5 patients were treated by transurethral resection and intraurethral instillation with hydroxycamptothecin used as initial therapy. Mean follow-up was 37 months (24 - 52 months). Results All the 5 patients survived after the treatment. There was no one showed recurrence or distant metastasis. All the 5 cases achieved continence. Conclusion Urethral preservation at initial therapy for incipient noninvasive urethral recurrence would be a good choice and could maintain the quality of life.

Objective To explore the curative effect and security of transurethral holmium laser resection for adult ureterocele.Methods 22 cases with adult ureterocele were retrospectively studied.Eight adult ureterocele cases were male and 14 cases were female.The mean age was 36.5 years (ranged from 20 to 67years).All of the patients were unilateral onset,15 cases on the left side and 7 cases on the right side.The mean course of the disease was 31 months (ranged from 15d to 12 years).The clinical presentations were varied.All 22 cases were treated by tran-surethral holmium laser resection.About one -third of cyst wall were left in order to avoid vesicoureteral reflux and hydronephrosis.Results All 22 cases succeeded uneventfully.The pathologic study confirmed that 22 cases were ure-terocele.The mean hospital stay was 8days (ranged from 6 to 12days).Mean follow -up time was 17 months (12 -26 months),while 2 cases were lost.All 20 cases urine alalysis was normal.Five patients showed no hydronephrosis, while 10 cases showed less hydronephrosis.Cystoscopy showed all 20 cases ureteral healing was smooth,and none showed recurrence of ureterocele.Voiding cystourethrography showed none of vesicoureteral reflux.Conclusion Transurethral holmium laser resection would be a good choice for adult ureterocele,because the treatment has the advantages of simple operation,low requirement of equipment,safety and reliability.Especially for the primary level hospital,transurethral holmium laser resection is worth further clinical promotion.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of rosiglitazone, the agent of highly selective peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ agonist, on the renal injury of rats with severe acute pancreatitis. MethodsFifty-four male Wistar rats were randomly (random number) divided into three groups : sham operation group ( SO group), severe acute pancreatitis group ( SAP group ) and rosiglitazone pretreatment group (ROSI group) . Severe acute pancreatitis model was induced by retrograde infusion of 5％ sodium taurocholate into the biliopancreatic duct. Rosiglitazone (6 mg/kg) dissolved in 10％ DMSO were injected into the femoral vein 30 minutes prior to the modeling. The solution of 10％ DMSO was given to rats of SO group and SAP group. Rats were sacrificed 3, 12 and 24 h after modeling. The levels of serum amylase, serum creatinine, urea nitrogen, urinary albumin, urinary lgG and αl-microglobulin were measured and analyzed statistically. Kidney tissue samples were stained respectively with hematoxylin and eosin for histopathological evaluation.Results The levels of serum amylase, serum creatinine, urea nitrogen, urinary albumin, urinary IgG and αl-microglobulin were significantly increased (P ＜ 0. 05 )after modeling, while lesser increases were found in ROSI group 12 h and 24 h after modeling (P ＜0. 05)compared with those in SAP group. ConclusionsRenal injury can be induced by severe acute pancreatitis,while Rosiglitazone protects rats from renal injury in the setting of severe acute panereatitis.

Objective To explore the value of detection of systemic and local oxidation antioxidation level of ascites in the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant ascites.Methods Thirty-five patients with malignant ascites hospitalized in the Yidu Central Hospital of Weifang from December 2012 to November 2013 as the malignant ascites, and 35 cases of benign ascites as the control group.The ascites of malignant ascites group and plasma total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) level of two group were detected by ferric ion reduction method.Plasma malonaldehyde (MDA) level of two group were detected by thiobarbituric acid content assay.Peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMCs) and tumor associated lymphocytes (TALS) in ascites were isolated by Ficoll density gradient centrifugation,the DNA damage of PBMCs and TALS were detected by single cell gel electrophoresis (SCGE) , expressed in the tailing rate.The value in the diagnosis of benign and malignant ascites was judged according to the analysis of above indexes.Results (1) The difference analysis : the levels of T-AOC in plasma in malignant ascites group was (9.26 ± 1.88)mM, significantly lower than that in benign ascites group((11.26± 1.78) mM, t =16.520,P =0.000);T-AOC levels of malignant ascites group ascites was (6.59± 1.38) mM, significantly lower than the plasma levels of T-AOC ((9.22± 1.86) mM, t =13.869, P =0.000);the MDA level of malignant ascites group was (6.26± 1.83) nM, significantly higher than that of serum benign ascites((3.26±1.12) nM,t=18.267,P=0.000);tailing rate of PBMCS in malignant ascites group was (17.9 ± 6.7) ％, significantly higher than that in benign ascites group ((9.6 ± 5.3) ％, P＜ 0.01);tailing rate of TALS in malignant ascites group was (442.6± 10.8) ％, significantly higher than that of PBMCS ((17.2±6.1)％ ,P＜0.01).(2)The correlation analysis: there was a negative correlation between plasma T-AOC and MDA in malignant ascites group (r =-0.518, P ＜ 0.01), tailing rate of T-AOC and TALS ascites (r =-0.566,P＜0.01) ,tailing rate of plasma T-AOC and PBMCS(t =-0.472,P＜0.01);there was a positive correlation between the tailing rate of plasma MDA and PBMCS (r =0.476, P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion In the malignant ascites group, there is oxidative stress in the whole body and the ascites, and the local oxidative stress in the ascites is more obvious.The sensitivity and accuracy of the diagnosis of malignant ascites can be increases by detected by the detection of the local oxidation resistance of the whole body and the ascites.

0.05]. Conclusion:Besides the enlargement of LA,the volume of LAA and the area of LAA ostium were significantly increased in AF patients.Preprocedural assessment of LAA ostium should be helpful for the selection of occlusion devices.Because LAA is be very close to LCX,the selection of AF ablation strategies should be carefully taken to avoid possible damage of LCX.

The incidence of breast cancer has jumped to the first place in malignant tumors, posing a severe threat to women's health. Different from oxidative phosphorylation metabolism of normal cells, breast cancer cells often undergo metabolic reediting characterized by aerobic glycolysis. In the process of initiating aerobic glycolysis, phosphofructokinase-2/fructose bisphosphatase-2 (PFK-2/FBPase-2) family isozymes PFKFB3 and PFKFB4 play key roles and are involved in the growth and proliferation, invasion and migration, autophagy, and drug resistance of breast cancer. This review summarizes the correlation of PFKFB3 and PFKFB4 with breast cancer, aiming to provide a reference for future breast cancer-related research and clinical translation.

Objective:To investigate the incidence and risk factors of ultrafiltration failure (UFF) in patients undergoing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD).Methods:The clinical data of 65 patients undergoing CAPD at the Hubei Provincial Corps Hospital of Chinese People's Armed Police Forces and the General Hospital of Central Theater Command from January 2016 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. The clinical data included patient history, smoking history, duration of peritoneal dialysis, incidence of peritonitis, levels of hemoglobin, albumin, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, total cholesterol, and triglyceride. Univariate and multivariate regression analyses were conducted to investigate the correlation between UFF and various indicators in patients undergoing CAPD.Results:Among the 65 patients undergoing CAPD, the incidence of UFF was 35.4% (23/65). There were significant differences in duration of peritoneal dialysis, history of peritonitis, history of type 2 diabetes mellitus, serum albumin, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and triglyceride between patients with UFF and those without UFF ( t = -5.05, χ2 = 11.51, 6.83, t = 5.91, -3.28, -2.83, all P < 0.05). Multivariate regression analysis showed that albumin was negatively correlated with UFF ( r = -1.06, P < 0.05), while duration of peritoneal dialysis, level of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and peritonitis were positively correlated with UFF ( r = 0.43, 2.20, 1.67, all P < 0.05). Conclusion:Peritoneal dialysis duration, peritonitis, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol are risk factors for UFF in patients undergoing CAPD, while albumin is a protective factor against UFF in these patients.
