Objective To summarize the experience on diagnosis and treatment of ectopic ureters. Methods 52 patients with ectopic ureter were analysed retrospectively. Results Of the 52 patients,sonography,IVU,CT and retrograde ureterography were used in 37,45,8 and 18 patients respectively.49(94.0%) cases got the diagnosis preoperatively by these methods.28(53.8%) patients underwent ureteral reimplantation,12(23.0%)nephrectomy,9(17.3%) upper pole partial nephrectomy and 1(1.9%) with ureterocele incised endoscopically.The 42 patients have been followed up for 6 months to 10 years with an average of 3 years. Conclusions Most of the cases can be diagnosed preoperatively by utilizing the appropriate methods.Ureterovesicle reimplantation,upper pole partial nephrectomy and nephrectomy are the effective modalities in the treatment of ectopic ureters.

Objective To investigate the changes and correlation between nuclear factor-?B (NF-?B) expression and brain water content (BWC) in perihematoma after experimental intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) in rats. Methods Experimental ICH models of rat were made by injecting autologous blood using stereotaxic method. The expression of NF-?B in cerebral tissues was detected by immunohistochemistry technique. At the due time, BWC was measurement by day-wet method.Results NF-?B expression increased obviously at 6 h and peaked at 48 h in ICH group(P

Objective To evaluate the clinical outcome of stent placement in the superior vena cava (SVC) syndrome. Methods Twelve patients with stenosis of the superior vena cava and/or its main tributaries underwent placement of a self-expanding endovascular Wallstents (11 men,1 woman,mean age 51 years). Results Until death or completion of the study,the SVC syndrome was successfully controlled in 92% of the cases (11/12). There were no early procedure-related complications such as early occlusion,or migration of the stent. The recurrence rate was 16.7%. Conclusion Percutaneous venous stent placement in the superior vena cava is a relatively safe and simple procedure. In majority of cases,the symptoms of the SVC syndrome are relieved immediately and completely. Complications are rare.

【Objective:】 To understand the true experience and feelings of nurses in the intensive care unit on the clinical experience of moral dilemmas, and to provide strategies for reducing the impact of moral dilemmas. 【Methods:】 Thirteen nurses in the intensive care unit were interviewed face to face by descriptive nature research method. The traditional content analysis method were used to compute the data, and the coding, categorization and topic extraction were carried out cyclically until the data were saturated and the interview was stopped. 【Results:】 The moral dilemma experience of nurses in the intensive care unit had the following three themes: negative psychological experience, negative behavior experience, and life and death cognitive experience. 【Conclusion:】 Nurses in the intensive care unit will have complex negative experiences after experiencing moral dilemmas. This negative experience threatens nurses’ mental health. Nursing managers should pay attention to the impact of moral dilemmas on nurses and formulate effective measures, thereby ensure nursing safety and maintain the healthy development of the nursing team.

Objective To evaluate the detection competence of HbA2 and HbF in Guangxi medical laboratories.Methods The external quality assessment(EQA) of HbA2 and HbF was conducted twice a year and five samples was detected each time during 2012 to 2016.The laboratories participated in EQA completed the samples' detection and submitted the detection results at specified time according to the requirements of EQA.The distribution of each detection system,the qualification rate of each laboratory,the variation degrees of each detection system and each detection method,and the variations of results for different levels of quality control(QC) materials during 5 years were analyzed based on the returned results.Results The application of high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and capillary electrophoresis(CE) increased year by year and their usage rates in 2016 reached up to 46.1% (82/178) and 18.0% (32/178),respectively.The qualification rates of HbA2 and HbF increased from 51.5% (34/66) and 60.6% (40/66) in 2012 to 93.3% (166/178) and 92.1% (164/178) in 2016,respectively.The average coefficient of variation(CV) of each detection system decreased year by year.There were good CVs for the results of high,medium and low levels of HbA2 QC materials detected by the Bio-Rad Variant Ⅱ and Sebia CAPILLARYS 2 systems,and they were less than 6.0%.HPLC and CE could quantitatively detect the HbA2 and HbF levels,and their total detection competence was superior to that of agarose gel electrophoresis.Conclusion EQA can assess the abihty of one laboratory detecting HbA2 and HbF,and quantitatively analyze the levels of HbA2 and HbF,which may provide the quality assurance and data support for the screening and prevention of thalassemia.

BACKGROUND:There is a close relationship between epilepsy and apoptosis. The appearance of epilepsy can lead to the loss of neurons in the hippocampus, triggering a series of programmed cel death. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of bone marrow stromal stem cel transplantation on apoptosis in epilepsy. METHODS:After modeled to be of epilepsy 45, Sprague-Dawley model rats were randomly divided into three groups, fol owed by given no intervention (moldel group), normal saline (normal saline group) or bone marrow stromal stem cel transplantation (transplantation group). At 1, 2 and 4 weeks after modeling, the number of Bax-positive cel s, Bcl-2-positive cel s and Bax/Bcl-2 were detected by immunohistochemistry. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The number of Bax-positive cel s, Bcl-2-positive cel s and Bax/Bcl-2 presented no obvious changes in the normal saline group at different time points. However, the number of Bax-positive cel s and Bax/Bcl-2 in the transplantation group was significantly decreased, while the number of Bcl-2-positive cel s significantly increased compared with the other two groups at 1, 2 and 4 weeks after modeling (P<0.05). Moreover, the above indicators varied significantly in the transplantation group at different time points after modeling (P<0.05). These results show that bone marrow stromal stem cel transplantation can affect the apoptosis and effectively reduce the apoptosis in rats with epilepsy by up-regulating the number of Bax-positive cel s and down-regulating the number of Bcl-2-positive cel s.

Primary intraventricular hemorrhage is a rare type of non-traumatic cerebral hemorrhage neurological disorder.Not only has it higher mortality and morbidity,but also complicated etiologies.However,there is still lack of standard diagnostic techniques and treatment methods for decreasing mortality rate and improving prognosis of primary,intraventricular hemorrhage.Rational use of ultra-early hemostatic therapy and acute surgery therapy are considered as clinical treatment strategies to increase survival rate and improve the quality of life for primary intraventricular hemorrhage patients.This paper aims to give review on some etiology,diagnosis and therapy methods of primary intraventricular hemorrhage,and to provide new ideas for the treatment.

Objective To explore the effect of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) on LPS-stimulated BV2 microglia in inflammatory reaction. Methods Mouse MSCs were isolated and purified by adherence screening. The routinely cultured BV2 microglia in vitro were divided into PBS control group (group A),PBS plus MSCs treatment group(group B),LPS stimulation group(group C) and LPS plus MSCs group(group D).MSCs and BV2 microglia were cultured in the transwell co-culture system for 24 hours. We observed BV2 microglia morphological changes under the microscope,detected the concentrations of NO by Griess reaction,and the level of IL-1β,TNF-αby ELISA. Results MSCs can improve the morphology of activated microglia. The concentrations of TNF-a, IL-1βand N0 in culture supernatants were increased significantly (P < 0.05) after microglia activation, however, at the present of MSCs,the concentration of these inflammatory factors declined dramaticly (P<0.05). Conclusions MSCs can significantly inhibit the activation of microglia. It may play a neuroprotective effect by reducing the inflammation of microglia. MSCs showing anti-inflammatory effects through non-direct contact with nicroglial, suggesting that MSCs outside the brain may also inhibit the activation of microglia.
