Objective To investigate the bacterial pathogenesis in chronic prostatitis. Methods The prostatic fluid of 132 patients was studied with "five glass"segmented lower urinary tract localization culture test and measurement of IgA and IgG levels.Some bacteria positive cases were treated with levofloxacin. Results 74 patients were bacteria positive in their prostates,32 had Staphylococcus aureus,17 with Staphylococcus epidermidis,10 cases had Escherichia coli and 15 with other bacteria IgG and IgA levels were significantly higher ( P =0.031 and P =0.036) in bacteria positive prostatic fluid than in bacteria negatives ones. Conclusions The positive rate of bacteria culture in the prosatic fluid of patients with chronic prostatitis was high (56.1%) and Gram positive bacterias were more common.These pathogens may come from the partners reproductive tract.The levels of IgA and IgG in prostatic fluid were correlated to the results of bacteria culture.
3. Long-term disease-free survival in patient with laryngeal small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma: A case report and literature review
Journal of Jilin University(Medicine Edition) 2019;45(2):405-409
Objective: To analyze the clinical characteristics of patient with laryngeal small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LSCNC) with long-term disease-free survival, and to provide the basis for the diagnosis and treatment of LSCNC. Methods: The clinical materials of a patient with primary LSCNC were collected, and the clinical features, diagnosis and treatment of LSCNC and extrapulmonary small cell cancer (EPSCC) combined with the relative literatures were analyzed. Results: The patient was a 55-year-old man who had a long history of heavy smoking and drinking, and presented with neck mass. The laryngoscope revealed the uneven mass on the left side of epiglottic laryngeal surface. The subsequent biopsy of the neck mass indicated lymph node metastasis. The patient underwent laryngectomy and bilateral cervical lymph node dissection. The postoperative pathology indicated LSCNC; the immunohistochemistry results showed CD56 (NK-1) (+), CK-pan (+), CgA (-), Syn (-) and Ki-67 (+ 90%). The patient underwent radiotherapy to the tumor bed and lymph node drainage area and 6 courses of chemotherapy with EP regimen. No prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI) was conducted. Regular follow-up with laryngoscope, crainial MRI and other examinations showed no recurrence and metastasis. The patient still alive with disease-free survival of 38 months now. Conclusion: LSCNC is highly malignant. The diagnosis mainly depends on the pathohistomorphology and immunohistochemistry examination. The combination of surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy is commonly used for LSCNC at present. PCI is not recommended routinely. Multimodality treatment can improve the prognosis.

Objective To assess the change of CEA in the peritoneal lavage fluit at pre-,post-laparoscopy-assisted radical gastrectomy, and after hyperthermic perfusion chemotherapy, and to investigate the influence of laparoscopy-assisted radical gastrectomy on drop off of cancer cells, the efficiency of hyperthermic perfusion chemotherapy. To investigate whether CEA in the peritoneal lavage fluit detected by flow cytometry (FCM) is an effective predictor of intraperitoneal free cancer cells and peritoneal metastasis. Methods Peritoneal washings of 40 patients with gastric carcinoma were collected to detect CEA using FCM. The peritoneal lavage cytology examinations ( PLC)were detected by H-E staining. Results Laparoscopic surgery in patients with gastric cancer,before resection of gastric cancer the peritoneal washing CEA positive rate 35. 0% (14/40) ,and after operation, the positive rate was 40. 0% ( 16/40) .which was not significantly higher than that before operation ( P > 0. 05 ). After intraperitoneal hyperthermic perfusion chemotherapy the CEA positive rate was 7. 5% (3/40) ,which was significantly lower than that pre-operation(P<0. 05). Before operation there were 4 cases of positive PLC in the peritoneal lavage fluid, 14 CEA-positive detected by flow cytometry, and there was significant difference ( P < 0. 05 ) . All PLC-positive cases were positive for CEA, whereas 10 PLC-negative cases showed CEA-positive. None of CEA-negative cases showed PLC-positive. Conclusions Laparoscopic radical gastrectomy does not increase the intra-abdominal gastric cancer cell shedding. Intraoperative hyperthermic perfusion chemotherapy is simple and feasible approach with high efficiency.Peritoneal washing CEA detected by flow cytometry is an effective index to predictor for intraperitoneal free cancer cells and prediction of peritoneal metastasis.

Objective To explore pre-hospital delay factor of coronary reperfusion therapy for ST-elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEAMI) patients presenting with non-chest pains. Methods A retrospective observation was conducted. The clinical data of STEAMI patients underwent emergency percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) admitted to Luoyang Central Hospital Affiliated to Zhengzhou University from August 2013 to August 2015 were analyzed. The patients were divided into chest pain group and non-chest pain group according to the presence of chest pain or not. Clinical characteristics were compared between the two groups, and incidence of major adverse cardiac events (MACE), door-to-balloon time, door-to-electrocardiograms (ECG) time and ECG-to-balloon time were evaluated. Influencing factors of pre-hospital delay was analyzed by logistic multiple stepwise regression. Results A total of 259 patients with STEAMI were enrolled, including 154 patients with chest pain and 105 presented with non-chest pains. Compared with chest pain group, the patients in the non-chest pain group were older (years: 68.12±8.93 vs. 62.34±7.12, P < 0.05), less female (26.67% vs. 42.20%, P< 0.05), and had a higher past history of angina, stroke and heart failure (27.61% vs. 13.63%, 31.42% vs. 18.83%, 26.67% vs. 11.68%, respectively, all P < 0.05), and higher percentage of Killip ≥ Ⅲ patients (15.24% vs. 6.49%, P < 0.05), the lower ambulance use (26.67% vs. 44.81%, P < 0.01), longer hospitalization time (days: 12.50±2.89 vs. 9.50±2.67, P < 0.05), higher incidence of MACE (19.05% vs. 9.09%, P < 0.05), longer door-to-balloon time and door-to-ECG time (minutes: 159.01±51.21 vs. 115.31±36.74, 53.06±18.17 vs. 30.35±9.93, both P < 0.01). It was shown by logistic multivariate regression analysis that no-chest pain [odds ratio (OR) = 5.14, 95% confidence interval (95%CI) = 2.34-10.81, P < 0.001], age ≥ 65 years old (OR = 1.43, 95%CI = 0.93-2.99, P = 0.022), diabetes (OR = 1.57, 95%CI = 0.66-2.15, P = 0.015) and no-ambulance transport (OR = 1.55, 95%CI = 0.73-2.75, P < 0.001) were risks factors of coronary reperfusion delay ≥ 2 hours. Conclusions STEAMI patients presenting without chest pain showed higher incidences of MACE, longer time of ECG obtained and initial PCI time delay. Clinicians should try to reduce the delay time of the patients in order to improve patient survival rates.

Objective To observe the analgesic and sedative effects of dezocine injection on the medical thoracoscopy check -up.Methods 98 cases of patients with unexplained pleural effusion were randomly divided into sedation group(dezocine group,49 cases)and anesthesia group(local anesthesia by lidocaine,49 cases)by adopting digital expression method.Sedation group was intravenously injected with 5mg dezocine before the operation,and another 5mg dezocine was mixed with 100mL of 0.9% sodium chloride for intravenous drip,with 10mL of 2%lidocaine for local anesthesia during the operation;anesthesia group was only administered with 10mL of 2% lidocaine for local anesthesia.Verbal rating scales(VRS)results and visual analogue scales(VAS)results of the two group patients,as well as their hemodynamics and pleural reaction were recorded.Results The VAS scores of the sedation group and anesthesia group were (4.3 ±2.2)points and (2.1 ±1.9)points,respectively,VRS scores were (3.5 ± 1.1)points and (1.4 ±1.1 )points,there were statistically significant differences(t =0.415,P =0.019 and t =0.293,P =0.006,respectively).The two groups had basically similar operation duration,but the sedation group had more stable hemodynamic indexes such as maximum heart rate,systolic pressure,diastolic pressure and pleural reaction,including cough,dizziness,chest tightness,sweating,etc.Conclusion Dezocine injection can be used in medical thoracoscopy check -up and treatment,with significant analgesic effect and less adverse reaction,effectively alleviating the discomfort of thoracoscopy check -up,and improving patients′compliance and comfort,so as to enhance the success rate of thoracoscopy check -up.
