Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of plasmakinetic enucleation and resection of the prostate by divided into three parts and blocking blood flow in advance (PKERPDPB). Methods 158 patients with BPH were randomly divided two groups: 81 patients treated by plasmakinetic enucleation and resection of the prostate by divided into three parts and blocking blood flow in advance (PKERPDPB), 77 patients treated by plasmakinetic resection of the prostate (PKRP). All patients were evaluated preoperatively and at 1, 6, 12 months after surgery by IPSS, QOL, Qmax and PVR. Operation time, resected adenoma weight, catheterization time, hospital stay and complications were documented. Results There were no significant differences in preoperative parameters. The resected adenoma weight in the PKERPADPB group was heavier than that in the PKRP group, the difference was significant. Compared with PKRP, PKERPDPB required a longer operation time, but resulted in less hemoglobin decrease, less catheterization time and hospital time. During the 1, 6, 12 months of follow-up, there was no significant difference in Qmax, IPSS, PVR and QOL between the groups. Conclusion PKERPDPB was statistically superior to PKRP in blood loss, catheterization time, hospital stay but inferior in operation time. It was a safe and effective treatment for BPH.

Objective To assess the effect of thoracoscopic surgery under laryngeal mask anesthesia and explore the nursing strategies. Methods Thirty-five patients from April to December in 2014 undergoing video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) were given intubation anesthesia and another thirty-five ones undergoing the same surgery in 2015 received laryngeal mask anesthesia. The two groups were compared in terms of surgery conditions, surgery complication and ambulation time. Results No significant differences were found in surgery time or blood loss between two groups (P>0.05). The postoperative waking time in the mask anesthesia group was significantly shorter than that of the intubation anesthesia group (P<0.05), and ambulation time was significantly shortened (P<0.05). The rates of throat discomfort, hoarseness and gastrointestinal reactions were significantly lower. Conclusions Laryngeal mask anesthesia used in small thoracoscopic surgery for airway management is safe and feasible. Combined with training in respiration and limb function, better analgesia and nursing, it can keep away complications related to intubation anesthesia, shorten hospital stay and accelerate postoperative rehabilitation.

Objective To investigate the occurrence of p16 gene methylation in the population chronically exposed to arsenic in Inner Mongolia,and to study the molecular mechanisms of carcinogenesis associated with arsenic exposure.Methods The study group was composed of 40 cases of typical arseniasis selected from the epidemic area,and the two control groups consisting respectively of 40 non-arseniasis cases selected from the same epidemic area,and 40 healthy persons enrolled from non-epidemic area.Methylation of p16 gene in the blood specimens were analyzed for all the subjects with MS-PCR techniques,and statistical analysis was performed using chi square test.Results The positive rates of p16 hypermethylation in blood specimens were 65.0%,47.5% and 20.0% respectively in study group and two control groups,and the rate of hypermethylation increased with the increase in arsenic exposure with drinking water in epidemic areas.The positive rate of p16 hypermethylation showed significant differences(P

Objective To evaluate the clinic role of diffusion tensor imaging in diagnosis of central nervous system diseases with damage of white matter fibro bands.Methods Ten healthy volunteers and sixty-four patients(31 cases of cerebral vascular disease, 7 cases of demyelinating disease, 7 cases of inflammatory disease, 10 cases of tumor, 2 cases of degenerative disease, 2 cases of congenital brain dysgenesis, 3 cases of brain atrophy, and 2 cases of others) underwent MRI examination, which included conventional T 1WI, T 2WI, T 2 Flair and diffusion tensor. Fractional anisotropy(FA) were measured in white matter tracts and gray matter.Results Ablation of white matter fibro tracts and reduction of FA could be found in 59 patients(92.1%).Erosion like alteration was seen in 12 patients(20.3%).In all the patients with tumors showed push and displacement of the white matter fibro tracts.Conclusion Diffusion tensor imaging can show lesions in white matter at early stage of some diseases.It is better in displaying damage or displacement of white matter tracts than conventional MRI.

d-Isochondordendrine isolated from Cyclea barbate Miers, 400-800 rng/kg ig inhibited the increased vascular permeability induced by ip 0.7% acetic acid in mice or histamine ic 0.05ug/0.05ml in rats. It markedly inhibited the swelling of mouse ear induced by xylene and the edema produced by injection of 1 % carrageenin , fresh egg white or 2.5% formaldehyde 0.lml beneath the plantar surface of hind paw in intact or adrenalectomized rats. It was effective in the cotton-pellet grahuloma inhibition test in rats after daily medica- tion for 6 d. d-lsochondrodendrine could significantly rnduce the leukocyte removal caused by 1 % carrageenin and the fever induced by sc 7% yeast suspension 3 ml/kg in rats

Objective To investigate the effects of eardiopulmonary bypass(CPB)on plasma nitric oxide (NO)and asymmetric dimethyl arginine(ADMA)concentrations in patients with congenital heart disease complicated with pulmonary hypertension undergoing open heart surgery.Methods Eighteen ASA Ⅱ or Ⅲ patients aged 11-40 yr weighing 26-59 kg undergoing open heart surgery under CPB were divided into 3 groups according to pulmonary arterial systolic pressure(PASP)(n=6 each):group Ⅰ PASP<30 mm Hg;group Ⅱ PASP 30-50 mm Hg and group Ⅲ PASP>50 mm Hg.Arterial blood samples were taken before induction of anesthesia (To,baseline),at the start and termination of CPB(T1,2)and 3,6,24 h after CPB(T3-5)for determination of plasma NO and ADMA concentrations.Results The three groups were comparable with respect to M/F sex ratio,age,body weight and CPB time.The plasma ADMA concentrations were significantly increased while NO concentrations were significantly decreased at termination of CPB(T2)and 3 and 6 h after CPB(T3,4)as compared with the baseline at T0 in group Ⅱ and Ⅲ.The plasma ADMA concentration were significantly higher and No concentrations were significantly lower at all time points in groupⅡand Ⅲthan in group Ⅰ.Conclusion CPB can increase plasma ADMA concentration and decrease plasma NO concentration in patients with congenital heart disease complicated with pulmonary hypertension undergoing open heart surgery.

Objective To observe the expression of stromal cell derived factor-1?(SDF-1?) in vessels after common carotid artery balloon injury. Methods Sixty male SD rats were randomly divided into control group(group C) and balloon injury group(group S).The latter was subdivided into group S0(just after surgery),group S1(1 d after surgery),group S4(4 d after surgery) and group S7(7 d after surgery).Rats in group S were performed left common carotid artery balloon injury.For all the rats,peripheral blood samples were taken,and CD34+CXCR4+cells were detected with flow cytometer.The left common carotid arteries were obtained to detect the expression of SDF-1? mRNA and protein by RT-PCR and Western blotting,respectively. Results The number of CD34+CXCR4+ cells increased significantly in peripheral blood(P
