Objective To analyze the efficacy, safety, and learning curve of holmium laser enucleation of prostate (HoLEP). Methods From June 2014 to June 2015, there were 45 consecutive patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia who underwent HoLEP performed by one experienced urologic doctor ( having surgical experience of transurethral resection of prostate in more than 500 cases) in our hospital. The patients were divided into three groups:group A (patient 1-15), group B (patient 16-30), and group C (patient 31-45). The patient age, prostate specific antigen (PSA) and prostatic volume evaluated by ultrasound were similar among the 3 groups (P>0. 05). Clinical data including operative time, hemoglobin decrease, and catheterization duration were compared among the 3 groups. The efficiency for enucleation was calculated as prostatic volume divided by operation time. Results The average enucleation efficiency of 3 groups was 0. 34 ± 0. 14, 0. 36 ± 0. 16, and 0. 49 ± 0. 18 ml/min, respectively, with a significant difference among the 3 groups (F =4. 025, P =0. 025). The group C obtained significantly improved efficiency as comparing with the group A and group B (P=0. 013 and 0. 028, respectively). No significant difference was found in operative time, hemoglobin decrease, catheterization duration, and rate of blood transfusion and complication among the 3 groups (P>0. 05). There were several surgery-related complications, including 2 cases of conversion to TURP, 5 cases of postoperative temperature more than 38℃, 4 cases of severe stress incontinence, 1 case of bladder mucosal injury by morcellator, 1 case of urethral stricture, and 1 case of postoperative hemorrhage. It took 30 cases to overcome learning curve of HoLEP by self-taught modality. Conclusions For experienced endourologist, HoLEP can be learn by self-taught modality after 30 cases training. Cases with small prostatic volume less than 60 ml should be selected in the early stage of the learning curve.

Objective To present the primary effectiveness and morbidity of metallic ureteral stent in treating the patients with malignant ureteral obstruction .Methods The retrospective study enrolled 11 patients received metallic ureteral stent placement because of malignant ureteral obstruction at our hospital between Jul.2012 and Jan.2014.Total of 16 stents were inserted including 5 bilateral stent insertion. There were 4 males and 7 females, with a mean age of 56 years (range 28 to 88 years).Mild to moderate hydronephrosis were identified by ultrasound and CTU in all patients , including 2 recurrent fever and 1 renal colic in affected side , however serum creatinine level is normal .There were 10 patients received stents insertion through cystoscopic or nephroscopic retrograde approach and 1 through nephroscopic antegrade approach,under superficial , spinal or intravenous anesthesia .Patients were scheduled for follow-up at 6 months intervals by KUB and ultrasound and would be examined ahead of time if there were any obstructive symptoms including recurrent fever or renal colic of the affected side .Outcomes and complications were observed during follow-up.Results In total,11 patients underwent 13 operations,including 2 by staging operations.Hydronephrosis , recurrent fever and renal colic were relieved in all patients after operation , showing 100%success rate.The mean follow-up was 9 months,in which,9 patients had not reached the scheduled time (1 year) while 2 patients exceed the time limit of stent exchange because of poor physical status.During the follow-up, 1 patient died of the progression of urothelial carcinoma .Nine stents of 5 patients keep alleviating the obstruction without hydronephrosis evaluated by ultrasonography .Stents failure occurred in 6 ureters of 5 patients, including 3 encrustation and 2 migration, presenting of progressive hydronephrosis and recurrent fever . Functional restoration was achieved in one of the encrusted stent undergoing ESWL .One stent with encrustation fail to be removed and a polymer double-J stent replacement in the same side was required for drainage .The other 3 nonfunctional stents were removed and replaced by polymer double-J stents.Conclusions Ureteral obstruction secondary to extrinsic compression contributing to relatively stable malignant tumor could be treated safely and sufficiently with the resonance metallic stent . Surveillance on schedule and regularly change within 1 year is critical to achieve successful outcomes .Tumor progression with ureteral invasion as while as encrustation can cause stent failure ,and in these cases the stent should be changed every 6 months or less.

Acupuncture clinical trials are designed to provide reliable evidence of clinical efficacy, and SCI papers is one of the high-quality clinical efficacy of acupuncture research. To analyze these papers published in high impact factor journals on acupuncture clinical trials, we can study clinical trials from design to implementation, the efficacy of prevention and cure, combined with international standard practices to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of acupuncture. That is the core of acupuncture clinical trials, as well as a prerequisite for outstanding academic output. A scientific and complete acupuncture clinical trial should be topically novel, designed innovative, logically clear, linguistically refining, and the most important point lies in a great discovery and solving the pragmatic problem. All of these are critical points of papers to be published in high impact factor journal, and directly affect international evaluation and promotion of acupuncture.

Objective To identify the inclusion compound of ginsenoside Rh2 with hydroxylpropyl-?-cyclodextrin (HP-?-CD) in aqueous solution, and to investigate the change of thermodynamic parameters during the inclusion process. Methods The measurements of the inclusion mechanism, inclusion molar ratio of the host and guest molecules, and change of thermodynamic parameters were carried out by the following methods separately; thin layer chromatography (TLC), differential scanning calorimetry (OSC), infrared (IR) spectrometry, phase solubility method, and thermodynamic method, respectively. Results That all the phase solubility diagrams showed a typical AL-type in various temperatures and suggested the formation of a soluble complex of 1∶1 molar ratio. TLC and IR Spectroscopy confirmed that the significant interaction between the host and guest molecules was probably due to the inclusion of aglycone of Rh2 molecule into the hydrophobic cavity of HP-?-CD molecule. The change in the thermodynamic parameters suggested that the inclusion could proceed spontaneously (?G

Objective To evaluate the effects of Achilles tendon lengthening on talipes equinus in children with spastic cerebral palsy. Methods From December, 2013 to June, 2014, seventeen spastic cerebral palsy children with talipes equinus (34 feet) received Achilles ten-don lengthening. Ankle dorsiflexion range of motion (ROM) and surface electromyography from tibialis anterior and medial head of gastroc-nemius were measured before and 8 to 12 months after operation, respectively. ROM of passive and active dorsiflexion, root mean square (RMS) of tibia muscle group and co-contraction ratio (CR) when standing were compared. Results The ROM of ankle passive and active dorsiflexion increased (Z>4.867, P<0.001), while the RMS of gastrocnemius muscle decreased when ankle passively dorsiflex (t=4.31, P<0.001). RMS of tibialis anterior and gastrocnemius muscle changed little when standing (Z<1.291, P>0.05), while CR reduced (t=2.38, P<0.05). Conclusion Achilles tendon lengthening can improve the coordination of tibia muscle group to increase the ROM of ankle for chil-dren with talipes equinus after spastic cerebral palsy.
