Thirty six patients aged 50-70 years with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) received doxazosin and desmopressin treatment for 4 weeks.After treatment the International Prostate Symptom Scores (IPSS) and Quality of Life (QoL) scores of patients were significantly improved (17.4 ± 2.5 vs.11.8 ± 1.1 and 3.9 ±0.6 vs.1.8 ± 1.3,respectively;both P ＜ 0.01).The nocturia frequency was decreased from 4.6±1.5 to 2.1±1.6 (P＜0.01);nocturnal urine output from (564±73) to (348±45) ml (P＜0.05);the hours of undisturbed sleep increased from (88.6 ± 17.5) min to (146.2 ± 12.8) min (P ＜0.05).There were no significant differences in serum levels of sodium,potassium and chlorine,and osmoticpressure before and after treatment.The results indicate that doxazosin combined with desmopressin is safe and effective for treatment of nocturia in patients with BPH.

Objective To evaluate the effect of hydrodistension on interstitial cystitis and the psychological changes after hydrodistension.Methods Thirty two patients with interstitial cystitis underwent hydrodistension from May 2011 to Jun 2012 in Department of Urology,Beijing Hospital.Interstitial cystitis symptom index(ICSI),Visual onalogue Scale (VAS) pain score,quality of life questionnaire(QOL) score,self-rating anxiety scale(SAS) score,self-rating depression scale(SDS) score were recorded and analyzed before and at 1-3 month after hydrodistension surgery.The voiding diary and postoperative complications were cared.Results Symptoms were improved in twenty nine patients,the efficiency rate was 90.6％ (29/32).There were significant differences in ICSI score,VAS pain score,QOL score,SAS score,SDS score between pre and 3 month post-surgery [(26.7± 2.3) vs.(15.2±1.9),(4.6±2.5) vs.(1.8±1.1),(4.3±2.2) vs.(2.2±1.6),(53.8±3.7) vs.(40.8±2.3),(54.8±2.3) vs.(42.4±1.5),t=8.33,7.94,6.54,7.20,8.52,respectively,all P ＜0.05].No complication was found after surgery.Both the clinical symptoms and the anxiety and depression symptoms in patients were relieved,and QOL was improved.Conclusions For the patients with interstitial cystitis,the undergoing of hydrodistension surgery can relieve the anxiety and depression symptoms and improve quality of life.

Objective To determine the influence of depression on C reactive protein in patients with chronic ischemic heart failure (CIHF).Methods 73 patients with CIHF were divided into CIHF without depression group(n=49) and CIHF with depression group (n=24) according to the standard sore of the self-rating depression scale.C reactive protein(CRP)and other clinical characteristics were detected.The geometric means of CRP between two groups were compared,and stepwise multiple linear regression analysis was used to confirm the independent correlation factors of CRP.Results (1) The geometric means of CRP in CIHF without depression group and CIHF with depression group were (1.38± 1.29)mg/L and (1.78±1.53) mg/L respectively.No statistically significant difference was found between two groups(P=0.276).(2) Stepwise multiple linear regression analysis showed that aspirin inversely related with CRP(β=-1.070,P=0.004),but brain natriuretic peptide (BNP)positively related with CRP(β=0.426,P=0.001).Conclusion Depression has no additional effect on CRP in patients with CIHF.

OBJECTIVE To understand the distribution of common pathogens and their drug resistance trend and to provide the basis of the correct selection of antibiotics for clinic.METHODS Retrospective analysis was taken for blood culture specimens during 2 years in our hospital.And statistical analysis was done.All of 4028 cases of blood culture specimens were detected on automatic BacT/Alert3D rapid blood culture system,strains isolated were taken to VITEK-2 automatic microbiological analysis/sensitivity system for identification and drug susceptibility testing.Drug susceptibility results were analyzed using WHONET 5.3 software.RESULTS Totally 435 pathogen were isolated from 4028 cases of blood culture sample and the positive rate was 10.8%.195 Gram-negative bacteria strains accounted for 44.8%,mainly Escherichia coli,Klebsiella pneumoniae,Burkholderia cepacia,Acinetobacter baumannii,and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.Gram-positive bacteria accounted for 49.9%;mainly Staphylococcus epidermidis,S.haemolyticus and S.aureus dominated.Fungi were 23 strains(5.3%),mainly Candida albicans.Among them,extended-spectrum ?-lactamases(ESBLs) produced by E.coli and K.pneumoniae strains were 43.9% and 48.8%,respectively.Meticillin-resistant S.aureus and coagulase-negative staphylococci were 35.3% and 72.9%,respectively.But vancomycin-resistant S.aureus was not found.CONCLUSIONS The bacteria identification detected in blood culture class is quite complicated,and the drug resistance is high.Laboratories should increase the detection rate of bacterial culture and provide drug monitoring results for the clinics on time based on CLSI norms.Clinicians should use the antibiotics reasonably based on the drug susceptibility results in order to reduce nosocomial infections and the emergency of multiple drug-resistant strains.

AIM:To study the effects of thrombopoietin (TPO) and other hematopoietic cytokines on platelet activation. METHODS: Using fluorescent-labeled monoclonal antibodies and flow cytometry.RESULTS: The per- centage range of platelets activated by 120 ng/mL TPO was 8. 89% -39. 92%,mean value was 17.43%; However, there were no effects of TPO 40 ng/mL and GM - CSF 100 ng/mL and IL- 3 100 ng/mL on platelet activation. CONCLUSION: Higher concentration of TPO directly stimulated platelet activation.

The current situation in research of Ebola virus in China and foreign countries was com-pared. Some suggestions were proposed for research of Ebola virus in China, such as attaching importance to re-search of Ebola virus, enforcing research of its vaccine,and strengthening cooperation between domestic and foreign scholars.

In order to investigate the expression of Notch-1 in rats with acute pancreatitis (AP) and its relation with apoptosis of pancreatic cells, mild AP (MAP) and severe AP (SAP) models were established by retrograde injection of different concentrations of sodium taurocholae into pancreatic duct. The apoptosis index and the expression of Notch-1 protein and mRNA were detected by using TUNEL, Western blot and real-time PCR in MAP and SAP at different time intervals. The results showed that in MAP group the apoptosis index was significantly elevated during 4 to 24 h after induction of pancreatitis, but there was no significant difference among different time intervals. In SAP group, the apoptosis index reached the peak at 4th h after induction of pancreatitis, then gradually declined. There was significant difference in apoptosis index between MAP and SAP groups. Starting from 4th after induction of pancreatitis, the expression of Notch-1 in both MAP and SAP group was increased at different time intervals, but that in SAP group was significantly higher than in MAP group (P<0.05). The expression of Notch in MAP and SAP groups reached the peak at 12th and 8th h respectively after induction of pancreatitis. It was concluded that there was significant difference in apoptosis index and the Notch-1 expression in different types of AP. The overexpression of Notch-1 could aggravate AP by inhibiting the apoptosis of pancreatic cells.

The clinical efficacy and safety of RevoLix 2 μm continuous wave laser vaporesection in treatment of senile patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) were retrospective evaluated.In 291 senile patients with BPH,213 received 2 μm continuous wave laser vaporesection (group A) and other 78 patients received transurethral resection of prostate (TURP, group B).Compared with group B the intraoperative blood loss was less, the bladder irrigation time, catheter time and hospitalization time were shorter in group A.The subjective or objective indexes were all significantly improved at 3 and 12 months after laser treatment.The improvements of international prostate symptom score (IPSS), IPSS-S, overactive bladder symptom score (OABSS) in patients of 70-79 were more marked than those of 80 or older.Patients with mild overactive bladder (OAB) had less improvement in IPSS and IPSS-S than those with moderate-severe OAB which suggest that the storage symptoms could be improved significantly by removing obstruction.
