Objective To investigate the effect of repeat transurethral resection for superficial bladder cancer. Methods One hundred and twenty patients who were newly diagnosed superficial bladder cancer were divided randomly in to two groups by mechanical sampling method,60 patients underwent second of prostate TUPKVP 4 weeks after initial transurethral and received adjuvant MMC intravesically (experiment group) and the other 60 patients received adjuvant MMC following the initial TUPKVP(control group). The two groups were followed up by cystoscopy at 3-month intervals,and then compared the recurrences between the two groups. Carcinoma in situ or muscle invasive disease were excluded from the study. Results Mean following up time was 6-24 (12.0 ±6.5) months, within the following up period,recurrence was observed in 13 (21.7%, 13/60) patients in experiment group and in 38 (63.3%,38/60)patients in control group, there was signiticantly statistical difference between the two groups (P< 0.01). Of all the recurrences, the recurrence rate of high grade tumor was 26.2% (11/42) in experiment group and 70.0% (35/50) in control group,the recurrence rate in experiment group was obviously less than that in control group (P < 0.01). Conclusions Repeat transurethral resection can lower the recurrence of superficial bladder cancer (especially for the high grade tumor) which with initial resection, it can improve the classification of malignant rumor, and find the residual tumor, so it has value in clinical treatment.

Considerable attention has been directed toward studying the impact of diabetes on the central nervous system. The current study investigates the biochemical changes in the brain tissue of streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rat using 31P magnetic resonance spectroscopy (31P MRS). The 31P NMR spectra of the whole brain show no significant changes of phosphomonoesters and phosphodiesters levels one week after STZ induction, suggesting no apparent structural changes in cell membranes. The results identifies the increased level of adenosine diphosphate, negligible changes of phosphocreatine ( PCr ) and adenosine triphosphate ( ATP) , but the decreased ratio of PCr/ATP, indicating that PCr plays a role of balancing the energy. Moreover, the decreased pH value indicates the changes of the intracellular environment in STZ-diabetic brains in rats. After 15 weeks of STZ injection, the metabolism of phospholipid membrane and brain energy metabolism has been obviously disturbed. Our study successfully shows that 31 P MRS can not only study phospholipid and energy metabolism non-invasively, but also measure intracellular pH and other important biochemical information. All of these spectroscopic characterizations contribute significantly to the understanding of pathogenesis and evolution of diabetes, and provide theoretical basis for early diagnosis and clinical treatment in diabetes.

Objective To investigate the effects of erythropoietin (EPO) on myocardial apoptosis and protein kinase B (AKT) expression in rats of chronic heart failure (CHF). Methods Thirty male adult SD rats were randomly divided into two groups, sham-operated (Sham) group (n=6) and model (Model) group (n=24). The abdominal aortic coarctation was used to build CHF model. Sixteen survived rats after operation were randomly divided into two groups including EPO group and con-trol (Control) group. EPO group was received 3 000 U/kg EPO intraperitoneal injection 3 times/week for 4 weeks, and Sham group and Control group were received same volume of normal saline. The echocardiography was used to evaluate cardiac function after 4 weeks, 8 weeks and 12 weeks of treatment. After 12 weeks, all rats were sacrificed after 24 h fasting. The cell morphology and myocardial apoptosis were observed, and apoptosis index (AI) was calculated. Myocardial P-AKT/AKT pro-tein expression was detected by Western blot assay. Results Echocardiography showed that ventricular hypertrophy was found in model group after four weeks, heart failure 8 weeks. Compared with Control group, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was significantly higher after EPO intervention for 4 weeks (P < 0.05), systolic interventricular septum thickness (IVSs), end-systolic left ventricular posterior wall thickness (LVPWs), diastolic interventricular septum thickness (IVSd), af-ter left ventricular end-diastolic wall thickness (LVPWd) were significantly lower (P<0.05). The value of AI was significant-ly lower in EPO group than that of Control group (23.87%±1.45%vs 35.58%±2.81%, P<0.01). The OD value of P-AKT/AKT was significantly decreased in Control group (0.35±0.06) than that of Sham group (0.81±0.17), the value was significant-ly increased in EPO group (1.61±0.16) than that of Control group (P<0.01). Conclusion EPO can improve heart function, inhibit myocardial apoptosis,and promote pro-phosphorylation of AKT in rats with chronic heart failure.
