Objective: To compare the efficacy of paroxetine and amitriptyline in the treatment of primary fibromyalgia syndrome.Methods:46 out- and in-patients with primary fibromyalgia syndrome were randomized to two groups and treated respectively with amitriptyline 25mg~50mg per day and paroxetine 10mg~20mg per day. The Visual analogue scales(VAS) was used to evaluate the efficacy and adverse effects were recorded at baseline, month 1 and month 3.Results:In both groups pain was alleviated with statistical significance after 1 month of treatment. However the efficacy of amitriptyline and paroxetine was not statistically significant at different time points. The occurrence of adverse effects in paroxetine group was less than in amitriptyline group and the difference was statistically significant, especially dry mouth and palpitation.Conclusion:Paroxetine is as effective as amitriptyline in the treatment of primary fibromyalgia syndrome but with a better safety profile.

Objective To explore the construct validity of the Chinese version of Kinesthetic and Visual Imagery Questionnaire (KVIQ)-20 and KVIQ-10 in stroke patients and normal people. Methods From October, 2012, to March, 2014, 60 stroke patients and 60 nor-mal people with matched gender and age participated in this study. They were assessed with the Chinese version of KVIQ-20 and KVIQ-10. The construct validity was investigated with factor analysis. Results Two factors were extracted from KVIQ-20 for stroke patients after vari-max rotation, that accounted for 62.4%of the variance, as well as KVIQ-10 with 67.6%of the variance. Two factors were extracted from KVIQ-20 for normal people with 76.1%of the variance, as well as the KVIQ-10 with 69.6%of the variance. The factors could be named as visual imagery and kinesthetic imagery. Conclusion The Chinese version of KVIQ-20 and KVIQ-10 has good construct validity for assess-ing motor imagery from the dimensions of visual imagery and kinesthetic imagery, both in patients with stroke and normal people.

Objective: To study the characteristics of P300 and topographic dist ribution mapping in obsessive-compulsive patients. Methods: The P300 and topog raphic distribution mapping were recorded in 36 patients, using a Bneuro Galileoinstrument. Results: Compared with normal subjects, the wa ve patterns of obsessi ve-compulsive patients were unstable; the frontal wave variation and dissymmetry between the two sides was 63.9%; the N2 and P3 latency was prolonged; the P2 an d P3 amplitude was decreased; the P3 topographic distribution mapping was uneven ly distributed, the normal high amplitude in the parietal region was absent. For the patient group, energy levels below grade 5 in the left brain area, the fron tal area, and for both were 42.3%, 30.3%, 15.15% respectively. Conclu sion: P300 and topographic distribution might be served as an objective index for reflectin g cognitive activity in obsessive-compulsive patients.

Objective:
To evaluate efficacy and safety of retrograde intrarenal stone surgery for treatment of upper urinary calculi.
Methods:
The clinical data of 640 patients with upper urinary tract calculi treated by retrograde intrarenal stone surgery (RIRS) in Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University from April 2016 to January 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 424 males and 216 females. The awerage age was (46.2±12.8) years old, ranging 18 to 76 years old. The maximum diameter of the stone is (1.4±0.7) cm, ranging 0.6-3.2 cm. There were 126 cases with inferior calculi and 514 cases with non-lurgical calculi. There were 196 cases with unilateral ureteral calculi, 118 unilateral ureteral calculi cases with renal calculi, 236 cases with unilateral renal stones, and 90 cases with double kidney stones. 104 cases were placed with double J tube before operation and 496 cases were not placed before operation. There were 8 cases of horseshoe kidney, 30 cases of isolated kidney with renal insufficiency, 4 cases of pelvic ectopic kidney with dysplasia, 6 cases of congenital ureteral malformation and 2 cases of sponge kidney. Preoperative average hemoglobin was (133.2±5.6)g/L, ranging 126-188 g/L.And average serum creatinine was (84.4±12.2)μmol/L, ranging 74-242μmol/L before operation. All patients were treated with general anesthesia under the lithotomy position. The ureteroscopy combined with holmium laser lithotripsy was performed.The 200μm fiber was used, which the parameters were set as 12-45 W(0.5-1.5 J/10-30 Hz). The stone baskets were used to take stones according to actual conditions. The operation was performed by doctors of the same qualifications.
Results:
All patients underwent successful operation. The mean operation time was (45.6±14.6)min. The average postoperative hospitalization was (4.8±1.5)d. The postoperative serious complication rate was 0.9%, including(2 cases of sepsis and 1 case of subcapsular hematoma. Of the 640 patients, 596 were admitted to the hospital for a double J tube and 44 were lost of follow-up. 552 patients met the stone removal criteria, 44 patients did not meet the stone removal criteria for other treatments, such as extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, ureteroscopy or observed regularly. The stone-free rate (SFR) was 92.6% (552/596) after 1-3 months. On the first postoperative day, serum creatinine was (76.0±10.6)(58-156) μmol/L, and postoperative hemoglobin was (126.4±9. 6)(120-176) g/L. There was no significant difference in preoperative and postoperative hemoglobin (t=2.02,
