Objective To explore the clinical value of ureteroscopy and minimally invasive percutaneous nephrolithotomy ( MPCNL) in the treatment of ureteral calculi patients with acute renal dysfunction .Methods Clini-cal data of 124 ureteral calculi patients with acute renal dysfunction were retrospectively analyzed .86 cases were trea-ted with holmium-laser lithotripsy under ureteroscope .38 cases were treated with MPCNL under the guide of ultra-sound.Results Three months after operation ,the stone clearance rate was 100%,and no severe complications were observed.The renal function decreased to normal levels in 102 cases(82.3%).Conclusion The holmium laser lith-otripsy under ureteroscope and MPCNL can deal with double sites of ureteral calculi ,and offer advantages with less in-vasion,safety and efficiency ,which can be the first choice for the ureteral calculi combined with acute renal dysfunc -tion.

Objective:To evaluate the role of caveolin 3 (Cav-3) in diabetic cardiomyopathy and the relationship with endoplasmic reticulum stress in mice.Methods:This experiment was performed in two parts. Part Ⅰ in vivo experiment Sixteen clean-grade healthy adult male wild type mice weighing 18-20 g, were divided into 2 groups ( n=8 each) using a random number table method: control group(Control group) and diabetic cardiomyopathy group (DCM group). Another 8 Cav-3 KO mice were selected and served as Cav-3 KO + diabetic cardiomyopathy group (Cav-3 KO+ DCM group). Type 2 diabetic models were developed by high fat diet combined with intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (100 mg/kg). The left ventricular ejection fraction (EF), left ventricular short axis shortening rate (FS), left ventricular end-systolic diameter (LVESD) and left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD) were measured by B ultrasound at 8 weeks. Then the mice were sacrificed, and the myocardial histomorphology was observed using HE staining. Part Ⅱ in vitro experiment HL-1 cardiomyocytes were divided into 3 groups ( n=6 each)using a random number table method: normal glucose group (NG group), high glucose group (HG group) and high glucose+ methyl-β-cyclodextrin group (HG+ β-CD group). The high glucose model was prepared by adding 50% glucose to a specialized culture medium until the final concentration reached 30 mmol/L, and HL-1 cardiomyocytes were continuously cultivated for 36 h. The cellular injury was assessed using LDH and CCK8 kits. The expression of endoplasmic reticulum stress-related proteins binding immunoglobulin protein (BiP), C/EBP-homologous protein (CHOP) and X-box binding protein 1 (XBP1-s) in myocardial tissues and HL-1 cells was detected by Western blot. Results:In vivo experiment Compared with Control group, the food intake, water intake, and heart mass/body mass were significantly increased, EF and FS were decreased, LVESD and LVEDD were increased, the expression of BiP, CHOP and XBP1-s was up-regulated, the expression of Cav-3 was down-regulated ( P<0.05), and the pathological damage was aggravated in DCM group and Cav-3 KO+ DCM group. Compared with DCM group, EF and FS were significantly decreased, LVESD and LVEDD were increased, the expression of BiP, CHOP and XBP1-s was up-regulated, the expression of Cav-3 was down-regulated ( P<0.05), and the pathological damage was aggravated in Cav-3 KO+ DCM group. In vitro experiment Compared with NG group, the cell viability was significantly decreased, LDH activity was increased, the expression of BiP, CHOP and XBP1-s was up-regulated, and the expression of Cav-3 was down-regulated in HG group and HG+ β-CD group ( P<0.05). Compared with HG group, the cell viability was significantly decreased, LDH was increased, the expression of BiP, CHOP and XBP1-s was up-regulated, and the expression of Cav-3 was down-regulated in HG+ β-CD group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Down-regulation of Cav-3 expression aggravates myocardial injury in diabetes mellitus, and the mechanism is related to excessive activation of endoplasmic reticulum stress in mice.

BACKGROUND:With social progress,the incidence rate of knee osteoarthritis is getting higher and higher in the face of the rapidly developing aging problem in the social population,and the number of total knee replacement operations is gradually increasing. OBJECTIVE:To study the relationship between prosthesis size and stress shielding by improving the tibial prosthesis base. METHODS:A female patient with severe knee osteoarthritis was selected.Based on Mimics,through extracting the bone structure of the knee joint and simulating the total knee replacement surgery,osteotomy,positioning,and implantation operations were carried out to establish the geometric modeling of the total knee replacement prosthesis(including the femoral prosthesis,tibial bracket,and tibial pad),and improve the design of the tibial prosthesis base,analyze the effect of different tibial prosthesis bases on stress shielding of surrounding bone tissue. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Compared with single-stem tibial intramedullary stem prosthesis,the design of four-post tibial intramedullary stem prosthesis created a certain degree of stress shielding around the short stem.However,compared with a thicker single long stem,this stress shielding effect was significantly reduced,and the load was evenly distributed among the four short stems,so there was no stress concentration at the bottom of the pile.(2)The design with a rectangular hole in the middle not only provided relatively good stability,but also helped to reduce stress shielding of cancellous bone to a certain extent,with a reduction rate of 77.5%.(3)Compared with a single-stem tibial intramedullary stem prosthesis,both the four-post tibial intramedullary stem prosthesis and the four-post tibial intramedullary stem prosthesis with a hole in the middle have good stability,which can reduce stress shielding to a certain extent without causing stress concentration,providing theoretical guidance for the design of the tibial intramedullary stem.

Objective To investigate the value of DWI high b value and ADC value in the diagnosis of hyperacute cerebral is-chemia.Methods Adult SD rats were selected and divided into the control and ischemic group by adopting the random number table method,the ischemic group was re-divided into 0.25,0.50,2.00,4.00、6.00 h groups according to the ischemic time,6 cases in each group with a total of 42 cases.The ischemic group conducted the right middle cerebral artery occlusion(MCAO)for performing the head T2WI and DWI scanning(b values were 0,400,800,2 000,3 000 s/mm2),the CNR and SNR values were recorded,rs-T2WI, rs-DWI and relative apparent diffusion coefficient(rADC)were measured.Then the imaging change of ischemic area was observed. The sensitivity and specificity were detected.Results In b=2 000 s/mm2and 3 000 s/mm2,the diagnostic rates of DWI for hyper-acute cerebral ischemia were obviously higher than those in b=400 s/mm2and 800 s/mm2,and when the b values were 400,800, 2 000,3 000 s/mm2,the sensitivities were 16.7%,50.0%,100.0% and 100.0% respectively and the specificities were 16.7%, 50.0%,100.0% and 100.0% respectively.The difference of ADC values under different b values had statistical significance(P<0.05).Conclusion High b value DWI in the diagnosis of hyperacute ischemia is significantly better than that of low b value,espe-cially in the aspect of displaying the lesion at 0.25,0.50 h cerebral ischemia.

Objective To determine vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)-460 gene polymorphism in Uyghurs and its relationship to urolithiasis in south Xinjiang. Methods Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP),gene sequencing and genetic analysis methods were used in 200 urolithiasis patients of Uyghurs, and 200 healthy Uyghurs. Results The distribution of genotype and allele had no significant difference between urolithiasis patients and normal controls (P＞0. 05). The frequencies for the CC,TT and CT genotypes in patients with urolithiasis and normal controls were 1.5 %, 29.0 %, 69.5 % and 0. 5 %, 27.5 %, 72.0 %, respectively. The frequencies for C and T allele were 36.2%,63.7% and 36.9% ,63.1%, respectively. Conclusions The results of VEGF-460 gene polymorphisms indicate no significant relationship between patients with turolithiasis and normal controls in Uyghurs in south Xinjiang,which may not be urolithiasis susceptibility genetic locus.
