Objective To evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of minimally invasive percutaneous nephrolithotomy(MPCNL)in the lateral position.Methods A total of 48 patients with staghorn(12 cases,2.2 to 5.8 cm in diameter)or multiple renal calculi(31)or upper ureteral stones(5)were treated with MPCNL in our hospital between July 2004 to October 2007.The patients were placed in a lateral position with the head 10? lower and the feet 20? lower.The puncture was made under the guidance of X-ray or ultrasonography,and then Holmium laser or EMS lithotripter was used for stone fragmentation.The stone debris was removed by irrigation.Results The procedure was completed in all of the 48 patients except one,who was converted to a supine position because of the difficulty in puncture.Among the 47 cases,41 were cured with the first operation,the other 6 received catheterization in the first procedure,and then underwent calculi removal in a second-stage operation.None of the patients were converted to open surgery.The mean operation time in this series was(137.5?39.6)min.The one-stage cure rate in our patients was 82.9%(34/41).None of the cases had massive blood loss,or injuries to the pleura and other organs.Follow-up was available in 21 cases for 1 to 3 months.During the period,among the 17 patients who had hydronephrosis,11 were cured and 6 were improved;and among the 4 who had residual stones,1 received ESWL in 1 months after the first operation and was cured afterwards;the other 3 were treated by traditional Chinese medicine,2 of them were cured.Conclusions The MPCNL performed on the patients in the lateral position is an effective alternative for renal calculi,and favorable to intra-operative anesthesia monitor.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of tolterodine combined with flupentixol melitracen in the treatment of women with overactive bladder (OAB).Methods 84 female patients with OAB were chosen and randomly divided into the observation group and the control group.42 cases in observation group were treated with tolterodine combined with flupentixol melitracen.42 cases in control group were only treated with tolterodine.The clinical efficacy was recorded and compared after treatment for 4 weeks.Results The total effective rate of the observation group was higher than the control group (95.24％ vs 76.19％,x2 =6.291,P ＜ 0.05).The 24h frequency of urination,the average 24h number of incontinence episodes,initial urinate capacity and maximum bladder pressure capacity had statistically significant differences between the two groups (all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Tolterodine combined with flupentixol melitracen in the treatment of women with OAB has advantages of short course of treatment,excellent efficacy,and few side effects.

The samples of experimental and control groups were obtained by 1 ∶ 1 matching method and divided into development (242 pairs) and sign (156 pairs) groups.Through a 10-month group and case type intervention,Gesell test was performed for 5 zone development quotients of large motor,fine motor,adaptability,speech and personal-social to determinate the effectiveness of interventions.Before intervention,t values of the development group were 1.07,1.42,0.78,0.62 and 1.67 while those of sign group-1.48,-1.96,1.82,1.78 and-1.73 respectively.The inter-group comparison of various developmental quotient differences had no statistical significance (P ＞ 0.05).After intervention,t values of the development group were 9.85,8.92,3.57,11.21 and 9.30 for inter-group comparison and-31.65,-36.94,-46.26,-37.56 and-49.85 for intra-group comparison.The results of sign group were 10.91,9.61,10.75,12.01 and 14.36 for inter-group comparison and-23.20,-31.75,-44.94,-33.58 and-54.58 for intra-group comparison.Between intra-group and inter-group,the comparison of the developmental quotient differences had statistical significance (P ＜ 0.01).In two experimental groups,the post-intervention developmental quotients in 5 zones are better than those pre-intervention levels.It shows that preventive intervention of infant mental health is effective.

Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is the most common type of non-cicatricial alopecia.Many researches have indicated that the pathogenesis of AGA involves genetic background,abnormal metabolism of sex hormones and follicle miniaturization,hair follicle microintlammation and environmental factors.Among them,genetic susceptibility is the most important factor for the individual difference of AGA,and follicle miniaturization induced by abnormal sex hormone metabolism and/or hair follicle microinflammation is the last step in the occurrence of AGA.

Objective: To investigate the value of fibrinogen to albumin ratio (FAR) at admission on predicting spontaneous recanalization of infarct-related artery (IRA) in patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Methods: Clinical data from 255 acute STEMI patients ((61.1±11.2) years old, 189 males) who underwent emergency coronary angiography within 12 hours in our hospital from December 2015 to April 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. The acute STEMI patients were divided into non-spontaneous recanalization group (thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) flow grade 0-1, 203 cases) and spontaneous recanalization group (TIMI flow grade 2-3, 52 cases). Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate related factors of IRA spontaneous recanalization. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the value of FAR in predicting spontaneous coronary recanalization. Results: There was no significant difference in age,gender, hypertension, diabetes, smoking,systolic blood pressure,diastolic blood pressure,heart rate, duration of chest pain, type of infarction, infarct-related artery, door-to-balloon time, and drug used before admission between non-spontaneous recanalization group and spontaneous recanalization group (all P>0.05). The FAR and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein levels were significantly lower in the spontaneous recanalization group than in the non-spontaneous recanalization group (8.20±1.85 vs. 11.02±2.75, P<0.001; (6.87±3.36) g/L vs. (8.51±3.72) g/L, P=0.004). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that FAR (OR=0.492, 95%CI 0.354-0.686, P<0.001), serum uric acid (OR=0.994, 95%CI 0.989-0.999, P=0.018) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (OR=0.774, 95%CI 0.614-0.975, P=0.030) were independent negative correlation with spontaneous recanalization of infarct-related artery in patients with acute STEMI. The ROC curve showed that the area under the curve of FAR predicting spontaneous recanalization of infarct-related artery in patients with acute STEMI was 0.807 (95%CI 0.630-0.758, P<0.001), and the diagnostic threshold was 9.26, the sensitivity was 76.9%, the specificity was 75.9%. Conclusion The level of admission FAR has certain predictive value for spontaneous recanalization of infarct-related arteries in patients with acute STEMI.

The long-term presence of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in the environmental water samples not only affects the life safety of aquatic organisms and disturbs the ecoenvironment, but also poses a serious threat to human health. In this study, amino-functionalized Fe3O4 nanoparticles (Fe3O4-NH2) were firstly prepared by solvothermal method. Subsequently, polyethyleneimine (PEI) with a branched chain structure was successfully grafted onto Fe3O4 nanoparticles by Schiff base reaction in aqueous solution at room temperature using glutaraldehyde as a cross-linking agent, and a recyclable PEI-grafted magnetic nano-sorbent (Fe3O4@PEI) was synthesized and applied for the detection of NSAIDs in the environmental water samples. The compositional properties of Fe3O4@PEI were investigated by different characterization methods and the parameters affecting the extraction of NSAIDs were optimized. Due to high adsorption of Fe3O4@PEI for NSAIDs, the quantitative analysis of four NSAIDs in the environmental water samples, ketoprofen, naproxen, diclofenac and tolfenamic acid, was performed in combination with high-performance liquid chromatography. A good linear relationship between the chromatographic peak area and concentration was observed in the range of 1−500 µg/mL. The recoveries of the samples at three different spiked levels ranged from 85.6% to 107.8%; the intra-day precision was less than 7.8% (n=6); and the inter-day precision was less than 9.5% (n=3). The method is simple, rapid, accurate and reliable, and can be used for the analysis of NSAIDs in the environmental water samples．

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the possible mechanism of Artemisia capillaries,and to provide reference for further development and utilization of it. METHODS:The effective components and related target protein of A. capillaries were screened by Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology (TCMSP) analysis platform database. The effective compound-target protein visual network of A. capillaries was established by using Cytoscape 3.5.1 software,topology analysis was also performed. The protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed and analyzed by STRING database. KEGG pathway enrichment of target protein coding gene was analyzed by DAVID bioinformatics resource database. RESULTS:A total of 13 kinds of effective compounds,189 target proteins and 34 enrichment pathways were selected. Quercetin,β-glutamol,isorhamnetin and artepillin C were main effective compounds. Prostaglandin G/H sythase 2(PTGS 2),heat shock protein 90(HSP 90),dipeptidyl peptidase Ⅳ, protein kinase A catalytic subunit Cα were main target proteins. Transcription factor AP-1 and cell tumor antigen p53 played a key role in PPI network. The target protein coding gene was rich in TNF-α signaling pathway,HIF-1 signaling pathway,Toll-like receptor signaling pathway,PI3K/Akt signaling pathway,T cell receptor signaling pathway,thyroid hormone signaling pathway, apoptotic signaling pathway,etc. CONCLUSIONS:Quercetin,β-glutamol and isorhamnetin of A. capillaries play an effect on PTGS2,HSP90,transcription factor AP-1 and other target proteins through TNF-α signaling pathway,HIF-1 signaling pathway and PI3K/Akt signaling pathway,so as to play anti-inflammatory and antitumor effect.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the value of proximal gastrectomy (PG) and total gastrectomy (TG) for the treatment of cancer of cardia and fundus. METHODS: Publications on comparision between PG and TG in the treatment of cancer of cardia and fundus were collected, the data from the publications were matched with the PG group and the TG group respectively according to its corresponding surgical resection, and the data on postoperative complications, motality and 5-year survival rate were meta-analyzed by fixed effect model and random effect model. RESULTS: Thirteen reseaches on 2 219 patients were included in this study, 2 of which were randomly controlled studies. There were no significant differences in the postoperative complications (OR=1.00, 95%CI: 0.44-2.28,P>0.05) and mortality (OR=1.25, 95%CI: 0.62-2.48,P>0.05) between the PG group and the TG group, while there was significant difference in the 5-year survival rate (HR=0.87, 95%CI: 0.76-0.99,P=0.04). The 5-year survival rate in the TG group was higher than that in the PG group. CONCLUSION Total gastrectomy for the treatment of cancer of cardia and fundus has better long-term therapetic effect.
