Objective To access the practicality and safety of a new type Balloon dilatation combined with flank supine position in percutaneous nephrolithotomy.Methods Clinical data of 60 kidney stones patients were collected and retrospectively analyzed.This group of patients had been admitted and selected according to the inclusion criteria in our institute from July.2012 to Sep.2013.There was no obvious difference in sex,age,body mass index (BMI),stone location and size.According to the surgery approaches,this group of patients was divided into ballon group (dilated by balloon dilatation) and Amplatz group (dilated by Amplatz fascial dilation) and in each group there were 30 cases.All these patients received the surgery by the same group of surgeons.We collected the data of one-time success puncture rate,success puncture time,puncture complications (kidney calices fracture,perinephric fluid collection and postoperative delayed hemorrhages etc.),removing stones time and stone free rate.Results Compared with Balloon group,Amplatz group had a significant difference (P＜0.05) in one-time success puncture rate [100％ (30/30) vs 90％ (27/30)],success puncture time [(6.1±2.3)min vs (13.3±3.6)min],puncture complications [3％(1/30) vs 13％(4/30)] and removing stones time [(11.7±2.0)min vs (21.5±3.1)min]; but no significant difference (P＞0.05) in stone free rate [87％ (26/30) vs 83％ (25/30)].Conclusions Balloon dilatation combined with flank supine position in percutaneous nephrolithotomy is easy for surgery.It can establish the surgery access more accurately and faster,decreases removing stones time and reduces operative complications.

Objective To study the mechanism of senile escaping of benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH) condition. Methods With polymerase chain reaction based telomeric repeat amplification protocol assay(TRAP),telomerase activity was examined in 13 normal prostate tissues,35 benign prostatic hyperplasia tissues,33 hyperplastic tubercle and diaphragm. Results Telomerase activity was detected in 2 of 13(15%)normal prostate tissues,17 of 35(49%)benign hyperplasia tissues,14 of 33(42%)hyperplastic tubercle tissues and 1 of 33(3%)diaphragm tissues.The positive rate of telomerase in BPH is higher than normal prostate (P

Objective To explore the size of access channel that may influence the intrarenal pelvic pressure during percutaneous nephrolithotomy.Methods From April 2014 to July 2015,83 patiens with unilateral renal calculus,ranged from 20 to 40mam were divided into 2 group randomly.40 cases underwent F24 channel PCNL and 43 cases underwent F16 channel PCNL.There was no statistically significant difference between the groups in preoperative variables,such as age,gender,preoperative status of infection,status of hydrpnephrosis,size and location of stone (P ＞ 0.05).We used a 6Fr ureteral catheter positioned into the renal pelvic,and the intrarenal pelvic pressure was measured by anesthesia monitor IBP channel during PCNL in different stages (entrance into the collecting system,calculi fragmentation,and termination)for all patients.Removing calculus time,postoperative hemoglobin changing,fever rate,procalcitonin abnormal rate,white blood cell counts and calculi clearance rate were recorded and compared.Results The intrarenal pelvic pressure in different stages on F24 channel and F16 channel were (7.5 ± 1.3)、(22.5± 4.3)、(14.0 ± 2.7) mmHg and (10.3 ± 1.1)、(34.6 ± 4.1)、(23.0 ± 3.6) mmHg,respectively.There was statistically significant difference between 2 groups (P ＜ 0.05).Compared with F16 channel,F24 channel had significant differences in removing calculus time [(12.8 ± 3.7) min vs.(23.3 ± 3.6) min],fever rate [17.5％ (7/40) vs.39.5％ (17/43)],procalcitonin abnormal rate [15.0％ (6/40) vs.34.9％(15/43)] and white blood cell counts abnormal rate [10.0％ (4/40) vs.27.9％ (12/43)] (P ＜ 0.05).However,no significant difference in postoperative hemoglobin changing [(11.8 ± 4.4)g/L vs.(13.7 ±4.7)g/L] and calculi clearance rate [87.5％ (35/40) vs.81.4％ (35/43)] (P ＞0.05).Conclusions Compared with F16 channel,the F24 channel PCNL maintains lower renal pelvic pressure,which is less than reflux limit,during calculi fragmentation,It might be contributed to reduce the postoperative fever rate.It can short time for removing calculi and achieve the better effect.

Objective To access the safety and efficacy of balloon dilation in percutaneous nephrolithotomy for staghorn stones.Methods Clinical data of 64 patients with staghorn stone according to the inclusion criteria in our institution from April 2013 to April 2014 were collected and analyzed retrospectively.According to the dilation methods,the patients were divided into balloon dilation group (dilated to 24 F by balloon dilator,31 cases) and fascial dilation group (dilated to 16 F by Amplatz fascial dilator,33 cases).There was no significant difference in sex,age,body mass index between the 2 groups.The data of duration of percutaneous access,one-attempt success rate of dilation,puncture complications (kidney calices fracture,perinephric fluid collection and postoperative delayed hemorrhage etc.),removing stones time,stone free rate,hemoglobin drop after surgery and number of patients who experienced postoperative fever ＞37.5 ℃ were recorded.Results Compare to fascial dilation group,balloon dilatation group had significant differences in terms of duration of percutaneous access [(5.6± 2.1) min versus (9.4± 1.7) min],oneattempt success rate of dilation[100％ (31/31) versus 88％ (29/33)],removing stone time[(32.4±3.4) min versus (49.5±3.7) min],stone free rate [84％ (26/31) versus 61％ (20/33)],hemoglobin drop after surgery [(16.7±3.3) g/L versus (28.4±2.6) g/L],renal intrapelvic pressure[(19±3) mmHg versus (25±6) mmHg] and rate of patients who experienced postoperative fever ＞37.5 ℃ [16％ (5/31) versus 39％(13/33)] (P＜0.05).No injury of adjacent organs,including pleura,liver,spleen,or bowel was noted in all patients.Conclusions Balloon dilation is quick and safe with less hemorrhage when building percutaneous renal channel.And it has higher stone free rate and less complication rate in percutaneous nephrolithotomy with staghorn stones.

Objective To explore the efficacy of four-step method for transurethral enucleation of the prostate . Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 120 cases of benign prostate hyperplasia ( BPH) treated with four-step method ( traction, enucleation, resection, and repair ) for transurethral plasmakinetic resection of the prostate in our hospital from January 2012 to February 2014. Results The average operation time was (91.4 ±35.3) min.The intraoperative blood loss was 78.8 ±34.1 ml. The resection of the prostate tissue weight was (32.1 ±15.7) g.The postoperative bladder infusion time was (1.5 ±0.5) days.The postoperative indwelling catheter time was 3.5 ±0.8 days.The postoperative hospital stay was (5.5 ±0.5) days.No death, blood transfusion, or TURS happened.Follow-up reviews at 3 months after surgery found postoperative international prostatic symptom score (IPSS) was significantly less than the preoperative level [4.5 ±2.2 vs.24.5 ±5.1, t=39.445, P=0.000], postoperative Qmax was significantly higher than preoperative level [(21.5 ±10.5) ml/s vs.(6.0 ±1.9) ml/s, t =15.912, P =0.000], and postoperative residual urine was significantly less than the preoperative level [(12.0 ±2.0) ml vs.(145.0 ±33.0) ml;t=44.069, P =0.000].No retrograde ejaculation, sexual dysfunction, or dysuria happened. Conclusion The four-step method for transurethral enucleation of the prostate is radical , safe, and simple.

Objective To explore the curative effect of combined use of minimally invasive percutaneous nephrolithotomy (MPCNL) and extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) for the treatment of solitary renal staghorn calculi in patients with renal insufficiency. Methods Eight cases of solitary renal staghorn calculi associated with renal insufficiency were treated by a combination of MPCNL and ESWL. Results Stones were completely cleared away in 5 cases, while residual stones were found in 3 cases. No blood transfusion was required and no severe surgery-related complications were encountered. After surgery variable degrees of improvement in renal functions was observed. The serum creatinine (Cr) decreased from 289?166 ?mol/L pre-operation to 155?33 ?mol/L post-operation (t=4.69, P=0.004), and the blood urea nitrogen (BUN) decreased from 15.1?7.9 mmol/L to 8.3?1.9 mmol/L (t=4.00, P=0.005). The emission computed tomography (ECT) examinations showed the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was elevated from 48.8?12.4 ml/s before operation to 63.0?8.4 ml/s after operation (t=4.68, P=0.003). Post-renal obstruction disappeared after operation. Follow-up for 0.5~4.5 years (mean, 2.8 years) in the 8 cases revealed no obvious changes in renal functions. Conclusions Combination of MPCNL and ESWL for solitary renal staghorn calculi associated with renal insufficiency is safe and effective.

Objective To investigate the effect and possible mechanism of curcumin on the proliferation and apoptosis of cell strain of bladder carcinoma.Methods In curcumin group,T24 cells were treated with curcumin of 1,10,100 ?mol/L respectively,while no curcumin treatment in control group.The growth,apoptosis,AKT1 protein activity and mRNA level,caspase 3 content of T24 cells were observed by MTT,TUNEL,RT-PCR,immunoblot and image analysis technology 12,24 and 48 h after the commencement of curcumin treatment.Results In the curcumin group,the inhibition rate,apoptosis and the content of caspase 3 of T24 cells increased significantly.The activity of AKT1 protein decreased,but the mRNA level of AKT1 showed no changes.Conclusion Curcumin can inhibit the growth of T24 cells and induce the cell apoptosis,which mechanism is related to the inhibition of AKT1 signal pathway of T24 cells.
