Flexible ureteroscopy techniques have experienced great developments in the past decade, as well as their expanding indications.However, this surgical procedure encountered some discouragement in clinical application for its long learning curve, poor ergonomics, high cost and attrition rate.In recent years, there were a group of advancements in flexible ureteroscopy, including robot-assisted ureteroscopy, dual working channels flexible ureteroscopy, disposable flexible ureteroscopy, rigid ureteroscopy with a deflectable tip and a series of accessory instruments development, which could all make surgery procedures more easily to be done and lower the expenses at the same time.These technical evolutions bring flexible ureteroscopy into a new level in urologic surgeries.

Objective To investigated the significance of serum B7-H3 in differential diagnosis of patients with benign and malignant obstructive jaundice.Methods The B7-H3 levels in 60 patients with obstructive jaundice who were divided into benign (32 patients) and malignant (28 patients) obstructive jaundice group were tested by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay before and after operation.Results The serum B7-H3 levels of malignant obstructive jaundice group were significantly higher than that of benign group (9334.57 ± 1009.57) pg/mL vs (4450.81 ± 406.92) pg/mL,(P ＜ 0.01).The B7-H3 levels of benign and malignant obstructive jaundice group after operation were significantly lower than those before operation (2531.03 ± 415.64) pg/mL vs (4450.81 ±406.92) pg/mL,(5833.00 ± 2190.87) pg/mL vs (9334.57±1009.57) pg/mL,(P＜0.01).Conclusion B7-H3 participate in the inflammatory immune and tumor immune response,The serum B7-H3 can be used as differential diagnosis index of benign and malignant obstructive jaundice.

Objective To observe the effects of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells(BMMSCs) conditioned-medium (B-CM) on apoptosis in cultured cortical neurons after hypoxia-reoxygenation in vitro in rats.Methods BMMSCs were isolated,cultured and expanded,the culture me-dium was substituted by new medium that contain no serum when cells grew to 90% confluence.After cultured for 24 hours,the medium was collected as B-CM.Cortical neurons of mouse cultured for 8 days were divided into three groups:normal control groups,hypoxic group,B-CM disposed groups.Cell viability were detected by 3-(4,5-dimethlthiazd-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetra-zoliu bromidel (MTT) methods and the apoptosis of neurons was examined by flow cytometry and telemicroscopy on hypoxia for 0,6 hours and hypoxia-reoxygenation for 24 hours,respectively.Results Compared with control group,hypoxia for 6 hours could decrease cell viability,hypoxia-reoxygenation for 24 hours increased the cell apoptosis ratio remarkably(P

Objective To perform APACHEⅡand SOFA in assessmentof EICU patients with sepsis ,and analyze the risk factors. Methods A retrospective analysis from January 2014 to October 2015 in EICU of our hos-pital ,a total of 83 patients suffered from sepsis ,including sepsis group(30 cases)and septic shock(53 cases). PCT,PT,APTT,lactic acid,mechanical ventilation time and APACHE Ⅱ and SOFA score were collected, through the receiver-operating characteristic curve(ROC)index to predict the prognosis of patients with sepsis.Re-sults The mortality of the patients in the septic shock group,PT,APTT,APACHEⅡ,SOFA score,mechanical ventilation time and PCT were significantly higher than thosein the sepsis group(P<0.001). APTT,APACHEⅡ, SOFA score and mechanical ventilation time had significant difference (P ≤ 0.001) between survival and dead. The lactic acid level of the dead group was significantly higher than that in the survival group(P=0.038). The ar-ea under curve(AUC=0.806)of APACHEⅡscore was better than the SOFA score(AUC=0.765).The outcome of sepsis had correlation with APACHEⅡ,SOFA score,lactic acid,and mechanical ventilation time(P<0.05). Conclusion APACHE II and SOFA scores can accurately predict mortalityoutcome in emergency intensive care units patients with sepsis,especially the APACHEⅡscore.We can measure blood coagulation function,APACHEⅡ,SOFA score,PCT,lactic acid and mechanical ventilation time to assess the severity of patients with sepsis.

Objective To observe any therapeutic effect of pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMFs) on bone loss in spinal cord injury (SCI) patients.Methods Fifty-five patients with SCI were divided into two groups randomly.The twenty-six patients in the control group (group B) were given only routine rehabilitation treatment; the twenty-six patients in the treatment group (group A) received PEMF therapy in addition.Results After 12 weeks of treatment,the average bone mineral density (BMD) of the proximal femur (including total,neck,Wards,inter,troch) in group A was significantly higher than in group B.The levels of bone-gamma-carboxyglutamic acid containing protein (BGP) and 1,25 (OH)2D3 in group A increased significantly,while they decreased in group B.Urine-pyridinium/crealinine (U-Pyd/Cr) levels in group A decreased significantly,while in group B they were higher than before.There were statistically significant differences between the two groups.Conclusion PEMF treatment can effectively retard bone loss in SCI patients.It has good preventive and curative effects on osteoporosis after SCI.

Objective To observe the clinical effect and investigate the mechanisms of Yikun Oral Liquid in treating climacteric syndrome due to yin deficiency of liver and kidney. Methods One hundred and three cases of climacteric syndrome of yin deficiency of liver and kidney were observed, including 70 cases of treatment group (treated with Yikun Oral Liquid) and 33 cases of control group (treated with Tibolone tablets). Quantitative studies were performed on the clinical symptoms (using Kupperman marking standard), levels of estradiol (E2), progesterone (P), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH) and endometrial thickness respectively before and after treatment. Results Clinical symptoms were improved obviously in two groups after treatment (P

Objective To observe the effect of tea polyphenols on proliferation, invasion and apoptosis of human thyroid papillary carcinoma cells (CGTH W-3) in vitro. Methods The effects of various concentrations of tea polyphenols on proliferation, invasion and apoptosis of CGTH W-3 cells were observed by MTT assay, plate scarification assay and flow cytometer, respectively. Results Tea polyphenols(50-400 mg/L) inhibited the proliferation of CGTH W-3 cells with dose-and time-dependent manners. The IC_50 of tea polyphenols to CGTH W-3 cells was 240 mg/L (1st day), 229 mg/L (3 rd day), 200 mg/L (5th day) and 118 mg/L (7th day). The cell free zoster which reflected the invasive ability was widened by tea polyphenols. The apoptosis percentage of CGTH W-3 cells incubated with tea polyphenols for 48 h was obviously increased, with 3.51% in control group, 12.61% with 100 mg/L tea polyphenols, 52.97% with 200 mg/L tea polyphenols and 70.79% with 400 mg/L tea polyphenols (all P

Background and purpose:Hypoxic cells in tumors are of chemoresistant and anti-apoptoic.Our study was focused on the effects of hypoxia on expression of P-glycoprotein(P-gp) and cell apoptosis in human lung adenocarcinoma A549 cell line(wtP53),in order to explore the probable mechanism of hypoxia in apoptic tumor cells.Methods:A549 cell line(human lung adenocarcinoma) was cultured under hypoxic atmosphere(2% O_2) for 24 h,the expression of hypoxia inducible factor-1?、P-gp and P53 protein was detected by immunohistochemistry,after cells under hypoxic atmosphere were exposed to Adriamycin for 24 h,the cell survival rate was detected by MTT,and apoptosis of by flow cytometer.Results:① The expression of hypoxia inducible factor-1?、P-gp and P53 protein in hypoxic cells were higher than the expression in anoxia ,and correlation between the expression of HIF-1? and P-gp or P53 protein was observed(P
