Objective To investigate the the operative time of two stage soft ureteroscope lithotripsy for hemorrhagic embolism after percutaneous nephrolithotomy(PCNL).Methods The clinical data of 1 patient with massive hemorrhage after PCNL who treated with superselective renal artery embolization and ureteral soft lens were analyzed.Results The patient with postoperative bleeding after PCNL was treated with superselective renal artery branch embolization,after 30d embolization,the holmium laser lithotripsy under the soft ureteroscope for ureteral calculi was performed,and the renal pelvis mucosa smooth,no bleeding and scar formation were intraoperative visible.After operation,the stone was removed basically,and the double J tube was removed 2 weeks after operation.The patient had no special discomfort and the renal function was normal.Conclusion Postoperative 14-30d is a relatively safe time to perform flexible ureteroscopic lithotripsy for super selective renal artery embolization in the treatment of patient with massive hemorrhage after PCNL.

Twenty patients with prostate cancer and 20 patients with benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) in the transitional zone underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) /magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging ( MRSI ) examinations. The choline + creatine/citrate (CC/Ci) ratio and the choline/creatine (Cho/Cr) ratio were evaluated in each voxel with cancer or BPH confirmed by pathological results.Discriminant analysis was used to determine the power of the two ratios in differentiation between cancer and BPH. The CC/Ci ratio and Cho/Cr ratio for cancer voxels were significantly higher than those in the voxels with BPH in the transitional zone (CC/Ci: 2.26 ± 1.35 vs. 0.81 ±0.22, t =5.17, P ＜0. 01, Cho/Cr:4. 12 ± 1.65 vs. 1.25 ±0. 35, P＜0. 01 ). As for the discriminant function with the CC/Cr ratio and the Cho/Cr ratio, the specificity, sensitivity, and accuracy were 99%, 86%, 93% respectively for the differentiation between cancer and BPH.

Objective To investigate the clinical value of MR elastography in the diagnosis of prostate cancer at 3.0 T, and to assess the elasticity and viscosity of prostate cancer and benign prostatic diseases. Methods Eight patients (63±7years old) with 12 foci of prostate cancer and 10 patients(59±3 years old) with 14 foci of prostatitis in the peripheral zone were evaluated by MR elastography.MR elastography was performed by transmitting low-frequency longitudinal mechanical waves of 100 Hz into prostate with a transducer placed above the pubic bones. The phase images were reconstructed to acquire viscoelastic mapping. T test was used to compare the mean elasticity and viscosity of prostate cancer and prostatitis. The correlation of elasticity and Gleason scores between prostate cancer and prostatitis were also retrospectively analyzed with Pearson Correlation. Results The mean elasticity and viscosity were significantly higher in prostate cancer[(6.55±0.47)kPa,(6.56±0.99)Pa·s,respectively]than in prostatitis[(1.99±0.66)kPa,(2.13±0.21)Pa·s,respectively],and the difference was statistically significant (t=19.392,16. 372; P ＜ 0.01). In 8 patients with prostate cancer, the Gleason scores were 5 (2 cases), 6 (3 cases), 7 (2 cases) and 8 (1 case), respectively. The mean elasticity for the cases with different Gleason scores was 5.83,6.02,7.45 and 8.05 kPa, respectively. There was a positive correlation between Gleason scores and elasticity of the prostate cancer( r = 0. 913, P ＜ 0. 01 ) in this study.Conclusion MR elastography can be used to visualize the difference in stiffness between prostate cancer and benign prostatic disease, it is a new imaging method with great potential in grading of prostate cancer.

cDNA microarray technology is used as a powerful tool for rapid, comprehensive, and quantitative analysis of gene profiles of cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells(HUVECs) in the normal static group and the shear stressed (4.20 dyne/cm2, 2 h) group. The total RNA from normal static cultured HUVECs was labeled by Cy3-dCTP, and total RNA of HUVECs from the paired shear stressed experiment was labeled by Cy5-dCTP. The expression ratios reported are the average from the two separate experiments. After bioinformatics analysis, we identified a total of 108 genes (approximately 0.026%) revealing differential expression. Of these 53 genes expressions were up-regulated, the most enhanced ones being human homolog of yeast IPP isomerase, human low density lipoprotein receptor gene, Squalene epoxidase gene, 7-dehydrocholesterol reductase, and 55 were down-regulated, the most decreased ones being heat shock 70 kD protein 1, TCB gene encoding cytosolic thyroid hormone-binding protein in HUVECs exposed to low shear stress. These results indicate that the cDNA microarray technique is effective in screening the differentially expressed genes in endothelial cells induced by various experimental conditions and the data may serve as stimuli to further researches.
