Objective To investigate changes of GP73 after hepatectomy and its correlations with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) recurrence. Methods Perioperative serum GP73 was monitored in hepatic hemangioma and HCC patients undergoing hepatectomy. Clinicopathologic features and follow-up results were collected to evaluate the relationship between serum GP73 level and patients' prognosis.Results There was no statistical difference between preoperative GP73 and postoperative GP73 in hepatic hemangioma group.While preoperative GP73 in HCC group was 9.9(3.7 - 15.8) relative unit (RU),and that on POD3 (postoperative day 3 ) was 9.1 ( 3.4 - 13.3 ) RU,on POD7 was 74.3 ( 1.7 - 9.0) RU,on POD14 was 3.3(2.1 -5.4) RU ( F =72.606,P ＜ 0.001 ).HCC recurred in 21 cases during follow-up,GP73 in recurrent cases [ 11.0 (8.4 - 13.8 ) RU ] was significantly higher than postoperative trough values while it was not different from their preoperative GP73 level [ 9.9 ( 2.9 - 15.0) RU ] ( Z =1.185,P ＞0.05). The preoperative GP73 level between recurrent subgroup and nonrecurrent subgroup was not significantly different (Z =- 1.546,P ＞ 0.05 ).Preoperative GP73 did not correlate to patients' survival.Conclusions Hepatectomy for HCC leads to a significant decrease of GP73 and postoperative HCC recurrence accompanies reelevation of GP73. GP73 could be used as a postoperative monitor for HCC recurrence.

ObjectiveTo explore the relationship of postoperative systemic inflammatory response syndrome(SIRS) and preoperative midway through the urine and perioperative renal pelvis urine of percutaneous nephrostolithotomy(PCNL).Methods Participants included 450 patients with urinary calculus who underwent PCNL,preoperative midway through the urine and perioperative renal pelvis urine of PCNL was collected.ResultsOf 450 cases,preoperative midway through the urine germiculture positive 100 cases (22.2％,100/450 ),perioperative renal pelvis urine germiculture positive 85 cases (18.9％,85/450),46 cases ( 10.2％,46/450) occurred SIRS after PCNL.Decompression of perioperative renal pelvis urine germiculture positive 20 cases(23.5％,20/85) preoperative midway through the urine germiculture positive,perioperative renal pelvis urine the bacteria cultures negative 80 cases (21.9％,80/365 ) preoperative midway through the urine germiculture positive(P ＞0.05),preoperative midway through the urine germiculture positive 15 cases ( 15.0％,15/100) in SIRS,preoperative midway through the urine the bacteria cultures negative 31 cases ( 8.9％,31 /350) in SIRS (P ＞ 0.05 ).Decompression of perioperative renal pelvis urine germiculture positive 18 cases (21.2％,18/85) in SIRS,perioperative renal pelvis urine the bacteria cultures negative 28 cases (7.7％,28/365) in SIRS (P ＜ 0.05 ).ConclusionPreoperative midway through the urine has no correlation with the occurrence of SIRS,perioperative renal pelvis urine germiculture positive can predict the occurrence of SIRS,giving corresponding antibiotic treatment can improve the security of PCNL.

Objective Nanoknife,also called irreversible electroporation,is a new technique of tissue ablation.Short,microsecond electrical pulses with high voltage are applied to the cell membrane,causing pores to form within the membrane and finally leading to cell death.The current study was to investigate the efficacy and safety of the nanoknife in the ablation of the healthy pig pancreas.Methods Three healthy pigs underwent open pancreatic tissue ablation with nanoknife,and blood leukocytes and amylase were detected before and after treatment.Three pigs were sacrificed and gross specimens were collected on day 5,day 10 and day 15 after the procedure,respectively.HE staining and TUNEL staining were conducted and tissue,cellular and subcellular structures were observed under the ordinary microscope and transmission electron microscopy.Results Three experimental pigs recovered well after the procedure.No significant adhesions were found surrounding the pancreatic tissue,and the ablation zone was slightly harder.Transiently increased leukocyte count and amylase level were observed after the ablation,which decreased to the normal level on day 3 after treatment.Under light microscope,the pancreatic tissues in ablation zone appeared to be significantly different from the normal surrounding regions,with more cell death and more apoptotic cells detected by TUNEL staining.The subcellular structure changes also changed under electron microscope.But the main pancreatic duct and its large branches,together with arteriovenous distributions did not change much.Conclusions Nanoknife pancreatic tissue ablation can induce irreversible damage.In the ablation area,pancreatic duct and vascular structures are kept intact.Within a reasonable voltage range and appropriate electrical pulses setting,nanoknife ablation is safe in vivo experiment.

Objective To explore the experiences of prostatic hyperplasia patients with dysuria. The thesis is designed to meet the demand of different individuals and to provide basis for reasonable and effective intervention measures. Methods Semi-structure interview is carried out on 16 patients. Data was analyzed by Colaizzi's seven steps of analysis methods. Results The prostatic hyperplasia patients with dysuria experiences were classified into three aspects. The first one was mental experience: the patients used to be healthy and unaware of his illness at first. Later the patients were very painful and lack of correct guidance. The result can lead to incontinence in life and poor quality of sleeping. The second one was psychological experience: the patients have low emotional control ability, which leads to depression and fear-related complications. The patients expect professional guidance and help;therefore, they need to establish a positive attitude towards life. The last one was medical experience:the process of treatment is long and painful, which needs a long period of waiting. Conclusion Patients suffering from dysuria with prostatic hyperplasia experience inconvenience in life. The nurses can help patients to build upon a certain confidence of life by understanding their physical and mental experience and promote physical and mental rehabilitation of patients.

Objective To evaluate the perioperative safety and effect of irreversible electroporation (IRE) in the treatment of locally advanced pancreatic carcinoma (LAPC).Methods Twenty patients with imaging and cytohystological diagnosis of unresectable locally advanced pancreatic carcinoma were enrolled to undergo IRE treatment.The perioperative IRE-related complications were primarily analyzed to evaluate the safety of the procedure.The tumor reduction and biological response were analyzed through CT/MRI imaging and serous level of CA19-9.Results All patients were successfully treated with an average tumor size of(4.2 ± 0.6) cm and an average procedure time of (52.0 ± 23.3) minutes.Three intraoperative procedure-related complications were observed (15.0％) including two transient hypertension and one transient superventricular tachycardia.Six postoperative complications were described including two Grade A pancreatic fistula,one infection of incision,one portal vein thrombosis,one gastrointestinal hemorrhage and two functional delayed gastric emptying.The symptom remission rate was 73.7％ and lower serum CA19-9 level was recorded in all patients at discharge.Conclusions IRE is a safe and feasible procedure in the treatment of LAPC, and a reasonable operation strategy of IRE is helpful to consolidate the safety and efficacy.

Objective An analysis was carried out for the reports of traditional Chinese medical syndrome patterns of psoriatic arthritis (PsA) patients in related reports issued in the recent 35 years, thus to explore the characteristics of syndrome patterns of PsA patients and to supply evidence for the syndrome classification. Methods Electronic retrieval was performed in the reports of PsA syndrome analysis issued in the Chinese medical journals from the year of 1979 to 2013. Traditional Chinese medical syndrome information of PsA patients was extracted from the reports, and then was standardized and classified. SPSS 17.0 software was applied for the analysis of occurrence frequency of syndromes, syndrome elements, tongue and pulse states. Results A total of 84 reports were obtained, and 26 reports met the inclusion criteria. In the 26 included reports, 10 kinds of tongue texture, 15 kinds of tongue fur and 22 kinds of pulse states were present. After the standardization of the syndromes, a total of 39 syndrome patterns were obtained. After combination of the similar syndromes, 14 syndromes were included into the analysis. In the 14 included syndrome patterns, the leading 5 patterns were wind-damp heat arthralgia, wind-heat with blood dryness, excessive heat toxin, wind-cold damp arthralgia, and liver-kidney deficiency. Fourteen syndrome elements were extracted from the syndromes, and 9 were included into the analysis after combination of the similar syndrome elements. The top syndrome elements were heat, phlegm-dampness, wind, dryness, deficiency, and blood stasis. Conclusion The syndrome patterns of PsA patients are various, and the syndrome elements of cold, heat, phlegm-dampness, wind, dryness, and blood stasis play an important role in the pathogenesis of PsA.
