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.

Background and purpose: The prognosis of completely resected stage ⅢA(N2) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains a significant concern. The 5-year overall survival (OS) rates range from 10% to 30%. This study aimed to analyze the patterns of first failure in completely resected stage ⅢA(N2) NSCLC and to assess the actuarial risk of developing metastasis at different sites and to guild standard clinical practice. Methods: Patients withⅢA(N2) NSCLC who had undergone radical surgery in our hospital from Jan. 2005 to Jul. 2012 were retrospectively reviewed. The progression-free survival (PFS), the OS, patterns of first failure, the actuarial risk were analyzed. The cumulative incidence of first failure was determined using the Kaplan-Meier analysis. Results: Among 357 patients who met the eligibility criteria with completely resected stage ⅢA(N2) NSCLC, 5-year OS was 36.9%. There were 284 (77.6%) patients experiencing disease failure: 61 with local failure, 197 with local and distant failures, and 26 patients with local recurrence as the first failure. Brain, bone and lung were the main sites of distant failure as the first failure, while brain was the most common site. There were 67 patients developing brain metastases (BM) as the first site of failure. The median time of local failure as the first site of failure was 13.6 months, and the time to develop distant recurrence was 15.1 months. 92.5% BM developed in 3 years after the complete resection. Conclusion: As the first failure, the rate of distant failure was much higher than that of local failure in completely resected stage ⅢA(N2) NSCLC. Brain was the most common site of distant failure as the first failure. These results can be helpful in guiding standard clinical practice and evaluating the outcome of comprehensive treatment.

Bosentan is a non-selective endothelin receptor antagonist,which plays an important role in the treatment of children with pulmonary arterial hypertension.Bosentan has shown to improve exercise capacity,hemodynamics and reduce pulmonary vascular resistance in pediatric patients.The main adverse effect is less severely comparing with the adult.The combination of bosentan with other drugs can improve the life quality furtherly.Further study of large-scale trials needs focus on the long-effects of bosentan,the ideal period of therapy and the effects of combination therapy in children.

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 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.

Mechanical ventilation is regarded as an effective means of replacing artificial ventilation during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), and has been widely used in the treatment of cardiac arrest (CA) patients. However, there are still some controversial issues remaining to be settled, such as the assessmentof the effectiveness of mechanical ventilation, the selection of the optimal oxygen concentration (FiO2), tidal volume (VT), respiratory frequency, and mode of ventilation during the CPR process. The pros and cons of positive pressure ventilation are also inconclusive. We reviewed and summarized the related research in recent years, and recommended that the intermittent positive pressure ventilation (IPPV) of volume controlled with small VT (6-7 mL/kg), low ventilation rates (10 times/min), and pure oxygen could be applied during the mechanical ventilation of CPR. The best mechanical ventilation strategy still needs further experimental researches to discover and explore.

Objective To observe the effect of intravenous anesthesia (IVA) with propofol (P),ketamine (K) and fentanyl (F) in different ways in children. Methods 90 pediatric patients were divided into three groups ( n =30) randomly according to the drug used for IVA. Ⅰgroup used compounds of P, F and K; Ⅱgroup used compounds of P and F; Ⅲ group used compounds of P and K. All the drugs were injected intravenously with micro-pump. Total dosage of anaesthetics, awaken time after operation and variation of circulation and breath were observed and sedative and analgesic effect during operation were evaluated. Results Compared with Ⅱ or Ⅲ group, Ⅰgroup showed less dosage, shorter awaken time and smaller degree of change in circulation and breath with complete sedation and analgesia ( P
