Objective To investigate the clinical effects and safety of urethral anastomoses and ureteroscopy urethral realignment in the treatment of urethral straddle injury and catheter placement failure. Methods Ninety patients with urethral straddle injury and catheter placement failure were chosen and divided into A group (45 patients, choosing urethral anastomoses) and B group (45 patients, choosing ureteroscopy urethral realignment). The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, hospital staying time and peri-operation complications in both groups were compared. Results The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, hospital staying time in B group were significantly lower than those in A group: (26.15 ± 10.41) min vs. (71.93 ± 14.50) min, (22.37 ± 7.41) ml vs. (50.70 ± 13.25) ml, (3.22 ± 0.97) d vs. (5.19 ± 1.43) d, P<0.05. After 6 months′follow-up, the clinical indicators in peri-operation period of B group were significantly better than those in A group (P<0.05). The complications incidence in B group was significantly lower than that in A group: 2.22%(1/45) vs. 13.33%(6/45), P <0.05. Conclusions The technology of ureteroscopy urethral realignment in the treatment of urethral straddle injury and catheter placement failure can efficiently shorten the operation time, reduce the degree of trauma and accelerate the rehabilitation process, and it is helpful to reduce the risk of complications in peri-operation period.

AIM To study the protective effect of curcumin (Cur) on PC12 cells damage induced by oxidative stress. METHODS Using H 2O 2-induced PC12 cells damage as the model of neuron damage induced by oxidative stress, the proliferation of PC12 cells was observed by 3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide(MTT)assay, the apoptosis of PC12 cells was detected by propidium iodide stain flow cytometry (FCM), the mitochondrial membrane potential (△?m) was analyzed by rhodamine123 stain FCM and the level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in PC12 cells was analyzed by dihydrohodamine123 stain FCM. RESULTS In the presence of Cur (20 and 40 ?mol?L -1), the inhibitory rates of PC12 cells induced by H 2O 2 from 25 to 400 ?mol?L -1 and the apoptosis of PC12 cell induced by 100 and 200 ?mol?L -1 H 2O 2 for 24 h were decreased. The level of △?m was decreased significantly in PC12 cells after 100 and 200 ?mol?L -1 H 2O 2 treatment for 24 h, however, those decreases were significantly ameliorated by Cur (20 and 40 ?mol?L -1) treatment. The level of ROS was significantly increased in PC12 cells exposed to H 2O 2 (100 and 200 ?mol?L -1) for 12 h, whereas 40 ?mol?L -1 of Cur prevented the rise induced by H 2O 2. CONCLUSIONS Cur has protective effect on PC12 cells damage induced by oxidative stress and the effect might be attributed to its removal of ROS and increase of △?m level.

Objective To investigate the effects of ligustrazine (TMP) combined with salvia miltiorrhiza on the progression of chronic allograft nephropathy (CAN) in rats and the action mechanism.Methods Fischer 344 rats and Lewis rats were used as renal transplant recipients and donors for ortlotopic kidney transplantation. The CAN model was established.By using random number table,the kidney transplant recipients were divided into five groups:cyclosporine A (CsA) group (A),TMP + CsA group (B),Salvia + CsA group (C),TMP + Salvia + CsA group (D) and blank control group (E,receiving no treatment).At 2nd,4th,6th,8th and 12th week after operation,5 mice in each group were sacrificed,and the transplanted kidney was removed for examination of renal histopathological changes. The immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) in the renal allograts,and by using fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction,TGF-β1 mRNA expression in the renal allograts assayed.Results In blank control group,the survival time was no more than two weeks.In group A,the CAN pathological changes occurred at 4th week postoperation,those in group B and group C occurred later than in group A,and latest in group D with mild pathological lesions.In all groups after operation,Banff scores showed an upward trend,and at the same time point,those in group A were significantly higher than groups B,C and D ( P<0.05 and P<0.01 ).and those in group D was significantly lower than in group B and group C (P<0.05),but no significant difference was found between group B and group C (P>0.05).With time over,the TGF-β1 expression intensity showed an increasing trend.At the same time point,TGF-β1 expression intensity in group A was strongest among groups A,B,C and D (P<0.05 and P<0.01 ),and that in group D was significantly lower than in group B and group C (P<0.05),but no significant difference was found between group B and group C (P>00.05).The changes of TGF-β1mRNA expression pattem in each group showed the same trends as TGF-β1 protein expression.Conclusion TMP or salvia miltiorrhiza can delay the progression of CAN in kidney transplant rats by down-regulating the TGF-β1 expression,and the combined use of them exerts synergic effects.
