Objective To compare the clinical efficacy and safety between transurethral plasma kinetic enucleation of prostate(TUPKEP) and transurethral resection of prostate(TURP) on benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH). Methods One hundred and forty two BPH patients were divided into two groups:TUPKEP group (72 cases) and TURP group (70 cases). Seventy two cases aged 52-90 years[mean age (70. 5±7.6) years] with prostate weight of 27-126 g [mean weight (75. 6±10. 3)g] underwent TUPKEP, and seventy cases aged 51-87 years[mean age (70. 2±6. 8) years] with prostate weight of 25-118 g[mean weight (73.8±9.9)g] underwent TURP. There were no significant differences in age, weight of the prostate, international prostate symptom score(IPSS), residual urine volume(RUV) ,maximum urinary flow rate (Qmax) and quality of life (QOL) scores between the two groups before operation (t=0. 2873, 1.0612, 1. 0832,0. 9522,0. 0000, 1. 0774;P=0. 7743,0. 2904, 0. 2806,0. 3426,1. 0000,0. 2832). The operative time, intraoperative blood loss, the preserved time of installing catheter, hospitalization time, postoperative morbidity rate and efficacy were compared between the two groups. Results The operation success rates were 100. 0% (72/72) in TUPKEP group and 98.6% (69/70) in TURP group. The average operation time were (46.2±6.4)min and (58. 4±9. 6)min (t±8. 9404, P=0.0000), and the mean intraoperative blood loss were (105.9± 12.2)ml and (148.6±14.3) ml(t=19. 1608, P=0.0000) in TUPKEP and TURP groups respectively. The mean preserved time of installing catheter were (3. 5±1.0)d and (5.0±1.0)d(t= 8. 9364, P=0. 0000), and the average hospitalization time were (5.1±1.9) d and (7.0±2.6) d (t= 4. 9819,P=0.0000)in the two groups, respectively. In TUPKEP group, there was one case of temporary urinary incontinence, two cases of secondary prostate hemorrhage and one case of external orifice stricture of urethra, with a complication rate of 5.56%. In TURP group, there were two cases of transurethral resection syndrome (TURS), one case of urinary extravasation, two cases of temporary urinary incontinence, three cases of secondary prostate hemorrhage and two cases of external orifice stricture of urethra, with a complication rate of 14.29% . Compared with preoperation, Qmax was obviously increased and IPSS,RUV, QOL scores were decreased after follow- up for 3 months, but there were no significant differences in these parameters between the two conditions(t=1. 1131,0. 2543,1. 2959,0. 7252;P=0. 2676,0. 7996,0. 1971,0. 4696). Canclusions TUPKEP and TURP have similar efficacy in the treatment of BPH, but TUPKEP is a method with shorter operation time, less blood loss, lower postoperative complication rate and more safety than TURP.

Objective To investigate the risk factors and treatment of postoperative delirium in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH). Methods　For 256 postoperrative BPH patients in our department,the clinical parameters including age,hypoxemia,preoperative infection,postoperative pain,and introvert were analyzed,and the treatment were summarized. Results　The incidence of postoperative delirium was higher in patients aged≥75 years than＜75 years[17.4%(19/109)vs.5.4%(8/147),X2=8.307,P=0.0043,higher in patients with preoperative infection (pulmonary or urinary)versus without the infection[15.0%(17/113)vs.7.0%(10/143),X2=4.337,P=0.037],higher in patients with hypoxia versus without hipoxia[16.5%(16/97).vs.6.9%(111159),X2=4.885,P=0.027]and higher in patients with post-operative pain versus without the pain(16.9%(10/59)vs.1.2%(1/85),X2=10.146,P=0.0014].Hematocrit and hemoglobin in patients with postoperative delirium were lower after operation versus pre-operation[(0.29±0.04)vs.(0.42±0.04),t=12.2314,P＜0.001;(102.39±6.58)g/L vs.(114.58±8.36)g/L,t=5.9537,P＜0.001].All delirium patients were recovered after sedation treatment,improving the quality of sleep,controlling the infection and correcting electrolyte turbulence. Conclusions　Advanced age,hypoxemia,preoperative infection,postoperative pain are important risk factors for delirium.

Objective To investigate the correlation of clinical stage and treatment plan with prognosis in incidental prostatic carcinoma.Methods From 2004 to 2010,a total of 1076 patients diagnosed as BPH underwent transurethral plasma kinetic enucleation of prostate (TUPKEP) in our hospital,and their clinical data were respectively analyzed.Among them,42 cases were found to have incidental prostatic carcinoma.The correlation of clinical stage and treatment plan with prognosis in incidental prostatic carcinoma were observed.Results Among 1076 BPH patients undergoing TUPKEP operation,42 cases (3.9％) aged 56-88 years were found to have incidental prostatic carcinoma,which all displayed as prostatic adenocarcinoma including 18 cases at T1 a stage and 24 cases at T1b stage.10 cases received endocrinal therapy,14 cases received bilateral orchiectomy,14 cases underwent radical prostectomy and 4 cases were treated with watchful waiting.Patients were followed up for 24 to 96 months.The survival rates were 100.0％ and the rates of progression were 0.0％,20.0％,0.0％ in T1 a patients received watchful waiting,androgen-deprivation therapy and radical prostectomy,respectively.Total survival rate was 100.0％ and total rate of progression was 11.1％ in T1a patients.The survival rates were 71.4％,100.0％ and the rates of progression were 42.9％,0.0％ in T1 b patients received androgen-deprivation therapy and radical prostectomy,respectively.Total survival rate was 83.3 ％ and total rate of progression was 25.0 ％ in T1 b patients.Compared with T1 b patients,the total survival rate was higher (x2=18.19,P＜0.01) and the rate of progression was lower in T1 a patients (x2 =6.52,P＜0.05).Conclusions The survival rate in T1 a patients accepted androgen-deprivation therapy is similar to that in T1 a patients with watchful waiting.Compared with T1a patients,the survival rate is lower but the rate of progression is higher in T1 b patients received active androgen-deprivation therapy.The survival rate is higher in T1 b patients treated with radical prostectomy than in those received other treatments.Watchful waiting is acceptable for T1 a patients.T1 b patients should be treated with radical prostectomy for a better effect.

Results: BMSCs on the surface of PLGA-[ASP-PEG] polymer scaffolds are adherention to the culture flask, the number of cells is much higher than PLGA’s. The precipitation method suggest that adhesion and proliferation of BMSCs on the surface of PLGA-[ASP-PEG] is much higher than the control group(P

Objective To provide clinical evidence for the optimal acupuncture time in acupuncture treatment of hearing disorder in kids with cerebral palsy.Method Ninety eligible patients were randomized into 3 groups, 30 in each group. Group A was treated for 30 min, group B for 45 min, and group C for 1 h. The hearing improvement was evaluated by using brain-stem auditory evoked potential (BAEP).Result The detection of BAEP showed that the latent and peak periods of wave I,Ⅲ, and V were significantly shortened in the 3 groups after intervention (P<0.01), suggesting that acupuncture can produce a marked efficacy in treating hearing disorder in cerebral palsy. The inter-group comparisons showed that the efficacy of group A was significantly higher than that of group B and C (P<0.05); there was no significant difference in comparing the efficacy between group B and C (P>0.05). It’s indicated that the optimal acupuncture time span should be 30 min.Conclusion With the same acupuncture skills, acupuncture for 30 min can produce a comparatively higher efficacy in treating infantile hearing disorder.

Objective To explore the expression of 10 kDa interferon-gamma-induced protein(IP-10)in pathological scar and its role in the pathogenesis of pathological scar.Methods Imrnunohistochemistry was performed to detect the expression and distribution of IP-10 in 28 patients with keloid(group K),34 patients with hypertrophic scar(group HS),and 20 normal controls(group N).The data were collected and analyzed statistically.Results The expression of IP-10 was significantly higher in groups K and HS than in group N(P＜0.01),but no significant difference in the expression of IP-10 was found between groups K and HS.Conclusion IP-10 may enhance the formation of pathological scar by attracting T lymphocytes and inducing immune/inflammatory response.

Objective To investigate the effect of sodium fluoride(NaF) on proliferation, differentiation and the mRNA expression of osteoprotegerin (OPG) and receptor activator of nuclear factor κβ ligand (RAN KL) of mouse osteoblasts. Methods Osteoblasts were isolated from calvarias of Kunming mice born in 1 - 2 d and cultured. Various concentrations of NaF(0, 10-8, 10-7, 10-6, 10-5, 10-4, 10-3mol/L) were added to the culture medium, the proliferation and activity of alkaline phosphatase(ALP) was determined after 72 h or 120 h. The expression of OPG mRNA and RANKL mRNA was analyzed by semi-quantification RT-PCR. Difference among groups was analyzed by One-Way AN0VA. Difference between two groups was analyzed by LSD-t test. Results There was significant difference in cell proliferation among groups after 72 h(F = 13.806, P < 0.05). Compared with control group(0.434 ± 0.010) , the proliferation was significantly induced in 10-7 - 10-4 mol/L groups treated osteoblasts (0.448 ± 0.010, 0.453 ± 0.013, 0.454 ± 0.016, 0.449 ± 0.018, all P< 0.05), and was significantly suppressed in 10-3 mol/L group(0.401 ± 0.009, P < 0.05). There was statistic difference in the activity of ALP among groups(F = 9.021, P < 0.05). Compared with control group (1.677 ± 0.682), the activity of ALP significantly increased in 10-7 - 10-5 mol/L groups[ (2.447 ± 0.756) × 106, (2603 ± 0.183) × 106, (2.687 ± 0.886) × 106 U/L, P < 0.05 or P < 0.01 ] and significantly decreased in 10-4 mol/L group[ (1.479 ± 0.366) × 106 U/L, P < 0.05 ]. There was significant difference in the expression of OPG mRNA among groups(F = 11.299, P< 0.05). Compared with control group (1.000 ± 0.000), the expression of OPG mRNA was significantly increased in 10-7 - 10-4 mol/L groups( 1.058 ± 0.027, 1.053 ± 0.026, 1.088 ± 0.055, 1.069 ± 0.008, P < 0.05 or P < 0.01) , while significantly decreased in 10-3 mol/L group (0.941 ± 0.029, P< 0.05). There was no difference in RANKL mRNA expression among groups (F= 1.311, P> 0.05). The ratio of RANKL/OPG decreased with increasing doses of fluoride and increased in 10-4, 10-3 mol/L groups, but there was no difference between groups(F = 1.376, P> 0.05). Conclusions A biphasic pattern of proliferation and differentiation has been induced in mouse osteoblasts, which manifests stimulation effect in low doses and suppression in higher doses. Low doses of sodium fluoride suppress differentiation and maturation of osteoblasts by increasing expression of OPG mRNA, while high doses of sodium fluoride enhance differentiation and maturation of osteoblasts by decreasing expression of OPG mRNA.
