Objective To discuss the clinical effect and safety of transurethral holmium laser resection of bladder tumors.Methods A total of 20 patients with bladder tumors(stage Ta~T2a)was treated by holmium laser resection transurethrally.There were 17 patients with primary tumor and 3 patients with recurrent tumor.The laser power was set at 15~40 W.Small lesions were vaporized directly,while large ones(more than 1.0 cm in diameter and with broad pedicels)were incised from the pedicel,with neighboring tissues 1~2 cm in extent vaporized and cauterized.Results The tumors were removed on one session in all the 20 patients.The operation time was 10~70 min(mean,30 min).No complications such as obturator nerve reflex,bladder perforation,or overhydration occurred.No blood transfusion was required.The postoperative catheterization time was 1~5 days(mean,3 days).No recurrence was found during follow-up examinations for 3 months in 16 patients and 6 months in 4 patients(mean,3.6 months).Conclusions Transurethral holmium laser resection of bladder tumors is a safe and effective procedure for the treatment of bladder tumors.

BACKGROUND: Embryonic stem cells (ESCs), the seed cells of all mature cells in vivo, are useful tools for nerve transplantation and developmental gene function research. Notch1 signaling pathway is the key pathway to control the ordered neural development and differentiation of many kinds of neural cells, however, there is no report on the dynamic expression of Notch1 signal during the ESC differentiation to date. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the expression of Notch1 protein, transmembrane signal transduction molecule, during directional differentiation of embryonic stem cells into neural cells. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: Cell research was carried out between October 2003 and October 2004 at Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center, SUN Yat-sen University, Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, China. MATERIALS: BALB/C mouse embryonic stem cell line Ⅵ (passage 11)was obtained from experimental animal center of SUN Yat-sen University, provided by professor Huang Bing. ESC culture medium was high-glucose DMEM medium with 20% bovine serum and 106 IU/L mouse leukemia inhibitory factor. Induced differentiation medium was high-glucose DMEM medium with 20% fetal bovine.serum and 5×107 mol/L retinoid acid(RA). METHODS: Passage 11 ESCs were resuscitated and incubated by ESC culture medium in incubator at 37℃ with 5% CO2. Passage 11 ESCs were subcultured after 2 or 3 days and RA was added into medium to induce differentiation. Three time points for observation were established: induced for 1, 5 and 9 days. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Morphological changes were observed under inverted phase contrast microscope, MAP-2 antigen expressed in differentiated cells was detected by immunofluorescence method. Immunocytochemistry, Western Blot, flow cytometry assay were used to investigate the Notch1 protein expression. RESULTS: ESCs presented clone-like growth. After induced by RA for 9 days, single neural network was achieved around most of the cell clusters. With the prolongation of induction, MAP-2 positive neural cells increased gradually. Almost all ESC clones expressed Notch1 protein strongly or positively, but Notehl protein expression decreased gradually after induced differentiation (P < 0.01). CONCLUSION: Notch1 signal shuts off progressively during induction of ESCs into neural cells, which suggests Notch1 may play an important role in the differentiation of ESCs into neural cells.

ObjectiveTo explore the diagnostic methods and surgery pattern at the first time of spontaneous perforation of congenital choledochal cyst.MethodsEleven cases(4 male,7 female) with spontaneous perforation of congenital choledochal cyst were 6 months to 5 years old,and their average course of disease were 4 days.Gustily abdominal distension,abdominal pain,crying and fever were present in all cases.Jaundice(7 cases) and emesis(5 cases) appeared.All cases were detected with physical sign of peritonitis by physical examination.Choledochal cysts were confirmed by CT or B ultrasound in 8 cases.All cases accepted abdominal paracentesis and biliary ascites was drawn.Three different operative procedures were performed:choledochocyst excision & Roux-Y choledocho-jejunostomy(2 cases),choledochotomy with T-tube drainage(3 cases),and cholecystostomy(6 cases).Nine children receiving external drainage operation accepted a second operation to rebuild biliary tract(choledochocyst excision & Roux-Y choledochoje-junostomy) after 3 to 6 months.ResultsAll cases had got satisfactory therapeutic efficacy without any grave complication such as fistula of anastomotic stoma,infection of biliary tract or obstruction of biliary tract.During operation,perforations were located in the juncture of choledochus and cystic duct in 5 children and were not found in the other 6 children.In the second operation,the cases receiving cholecystostomy had less peritoneal adhesion,anatomic structure changes,haemorrhage[(30-50) mL vs(100-200) mL] and operation time[(2.5-3.0) h vs(3.5-5.0) h] than those receiving choledochotomy with T-tube drainage,and did not appear inadequate drainage for cystic duct obstruction.ConclusionsFor children with more organ inflammatory edema and adherence and in a bad overall condition,the first-time operation of cholecystostomy is more reasonable.

Phosphate-dissolving microorganisms are widely distributed in soil, rhizosphere and other ecological environment. Understanding the characteristics of these microorganisms in solubilizing phosphates is helpful to apply them in improving P use efficiency. The obtained results indicated that the fungi had much higher capacity to dissolve the rock than the bacteria. Existence of Fe, Al, Mg and Na in the culture media reduced the rock solubilization by the bacteria, but increased the solubilization of the fungi. The higher content of the rock in the media, the lower capacity of the rock phosphate solubilization was found. The capacity was also significantly reduced if the concentration of C material in the media was higher than 3%. It was also found that the microorganisms destroyed the rock structure. The P was more easily released from the rock at further incubation. In conclusion, there is some potential to utilize the microorganisms to activate the rock phosphate.
