In order to study the variation of complex impedance and characteristic parameters on human normal and tumor lung tissue during the extracorporeal time, we established a real part-imaginary part chart of complex impedance on lung tissue which provided the basic theory and the reference data for research on elementary medicine and clinical diagnosis of lung cancer and meanwhile provided prior information for electrical impedance tomography (EIT) research. In the experiment carried out in our laboratory, when operation was finished, we kept the lung cancer tissue and normal tissue neatly separated into the cylindrical testing cavities and kept the temperature and humidity at expected values. Then the measurements of complex impedance property are performed at frequency from 1 000 Hz to 30 MHz using 4294A impedance analyzer of Aglient Company. With time changing, the results showed that there was a significant change occurring on the complex impedance of human normal and tumor lung tissue. However, the impedance of normal lung tissue is greater than that of tumor lung tissue. We consider that this change should be related to the change in extracellular fluid, intracellular fluid and cell membrane.

[Summary] Osteoporosis in elderly women are commonly accompanied by elevated levels of ferritin. Abnormal iron metabolism plays a key role in the progress of osteoporosis. Research on bone metabolic disorders caused by iron accumulation remains at the exploratory stage, including NF-κB pathway in differentiation of osteoclasts. A review on the relationship between NF-κB pathway and osteoporosis induced by iron accumulation is herewith presented, with a view to provide further ideas for transforming the clinical outcomes.

Objective Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) increases the risk of cardiovascular problem.The symptom of dyspnea on exertion may be associated with pulmonary dysfunction or heart failure, or both. The study objective was to determine whether cardiac dysfunction adds to the mechanism of dyspnea caused mainly by impaired lung function in patients with mild-to-moderate COPD. Methods Patients with COPD and healthy controls performed incremental and constant work rate exercise testing. Venous blood samples were collected in 19 COPD patients and 10 controls before and during constant work exercise for analysis of N-terminal-pro-BNP (NT-pro-BNP). Results Peak oxygen uptake and constant work exercise time (CWET) were significantly lower in COPD group than in control group (15.81±3.65 vs 19.19a±6.16 ml/min kg, P=0.035 and 7.78±6.53 rain vs 14.77±7.33 min, P=0.015, respectively). Anaerobic threshold, oxygen pulse and heart rate reserve were not statistically significant between COPD group and control group. The NT-pro-BNP levels both at rest and during constant work exercise were higher in COPD group compared to control group, but without statistical significance. The correlations between CWET and NT-proBNP at rest or during exercise in patients with COPD were not statistically significant. Conclusions Heart failure does not contribute to exercise intolerance in mild-to-moderate COPD.

Objective To compare the therapeutic effects of 1470nm diode laser vaporization prostatectomy and bipolar transurethral plasmakinetic prostatectomy (TUPKP) for treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).Methods From June 2015-February 2016 a total of 95 patients diagnosed with BPH were randomly divided into 2 group:52 patients were treated with TUPKP while 43 patients with 1470 diode laser.All patients were followed up with mean operative time,intra-operative blood loss,postoperative hospital stay,postoperative catheterization time,postoperative complications,international prostate symptom score (IPSS),score of life quality (QoL),maximum flow rate (Qmax),post-void residual (PVR) before and after surgery.Results Compared with data of preoperation,postoperative IPSS,QoL,Qmax,PVR in 6 months revealed significant improvement in both of two groups.IPSS of TUPKP group and 1470 group respectively dropped to 6.3 ± 2.6 and 6.7 ± 2.4.In TUPKP group,PVR reduced to 23.1 ± 20.9ml and in 1470 group decreased to 24.3 ± 19.9ml.While Qmax increased to 18.5 ± 3.1 ml/s and 18.7 ± 2.8ml/s respectively in TUPKP and 1470 group.In TUPKP group,operation time were 60.1 ± 14.9min,significantly less than that in 1470 group of 69.3 ± 12.9min (P < 0.05).Compared with catheterization time in 1470 group of 33.9 ± 9.4h,the time in TUPKP group of 73.9 ± 37.6h was shorter with significant difference (P < 0.05).While Curative effect of two groups of showed no significant difference (P > 0.05).Conclusion The clinical curative effect of two operation methods for patients with BPH showed no significant difference.1470 group had longer operation time,while TUPKP group had less intraoperative bleeding and postoperative recovery.
