Objective To evaluate the efficacy and prognostic factors of combined medical thera-py with amitriptyline, cimetidine and intravesical resiniferatoxin post-hydrodistention for patients with painful bladder syndrome/interstitial cystitis (PBS/IC). Methods Twenty-nine patients with PBS/ IC according to NIDDK criteria were enrolled. There were 6 males and 23 females with average age of 52±14 years and average duration of symptoms of 3.7±1.9 years before diagnosis. The patients were divided into 2 groups. Non-concomitant disease group included 10 cases without concomitant disease and 7 cases with unrelated diseases such as hypertension and diabetes mellitus. Concomitant disease group included 5 cases with history of bladder neck incision, 3 cases with history of transurethral re-section of the prostate, 2 cases with history of gynecologic disease and 2 cases with history of gyneco-logic operation. Patients of concomitant disease group still had the painful bladder syndrome after 3 months when the primary disease had been cured. All patients were treated with amitriptyline (25 mg twice a day), cimetidine (800 mg per day) and intravesical resiniferatoxin (1-2 times) post-hydrodis-tention. The primary assessment index was O'Leary-Sant score. The secondary assessment index was pelvic pain score, mean voiding times per day and mean volume of each micturating. The data of pa-tients before treatment and after follow-up≥9 months were collected to evaluate the efficacy and prog-nostic factors of the combined treatment. Results The mean follow-up for all patients was 9.2±6.0 months. Patients were followed up at month 1 and month 6 after discharge. Then, patients would be followed up at each 6 months interval. The overall remission rate was 65.5% (19/29). Complete re-mission rate was 41.4% (12/29). Partial remission was 24. 1% (7/29). Non-remission rate was 34.5% (10/29). For all patients, the pre-treatment mean voiding times per day were 29±15, voiding volume each time was 64±36 ml, average O'Leary Sant score was 23. 8±4.8, and they were signifi-cantly improved post-treatment (17±12 times, 172±108 ml, 13. 3±10.4, respectively, P<0.001). O' Leary-Sant score of concomitant disease group was lower than that of non-concomitant disease group (21.5±4.7 vs 25.4±4.3, P=0.030). However, complete remission (8.3%, 1/12) of con-comitant disease group was lower than that(64. 7%, 11/17) of non-concomitant disease group (P= 0. 003). In independent variables of patients age, sex, duration of symptom, O'Leary Sant score pre-treatment, and whether or not with concomitant disease, according to the results of Logistic Regres-sion, patients with concomitant disease would have poor prognosis (P-0.008, partial regression coef-ficient was -3. 899, OR was 0. 020). Conclusions Treating PBS/IC patients with amitriptyline, ci-metidine and intravesical resiniferatoxin post-hydrodistention is effective. However, concomitant dis-eases such as gynecologic disease or urethra operation history can impair the effectiveness of these treatment.

ObjectiveTo investigate the characteristics,treatment and prognosis of solid pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas(SPTP)in the minor. MethodsCombining minor SPTP cases in literatures and 4 cases, analyzed the clinical and pathological features, and the relationship with sex hormone receptors, the growth and development,treatment and prognosis.ResultsThe clinical manifestations of SPTP in minor were same as adults, but the minors showed significant growth retardation which can be reversed after the tumor surgical removal, like 4 patients all showed secondary sex characteristics of retardation in the group. The protocol of surgical treatment was to ensure complete removal of the tumor and keep the healthy organs as much as possible which reduced the impact to the postoperative growth and development.The premise of operation therapy in the 4 cases was minimization of operation trauma. Minor SPTP prognosis had not been determined. ConclusionThe diagnosis and treatment of minor SPTP should be fully taken into account the characteristics of the minor to ensure that patients can continue long-term growth and development and the quality of life.

Objective To determine the mutation spectrum of the PAH gene in PKU children in Ningxia, six exons of PAH gene were sequenced in each of the 30 phenylketonuria (PKU) children. Methods 30 children diagnosed as PKU by the neonatal sereening and/or GC/MS analysis in Ningxia were enrolled in this study. Meanwhile, 30 normal children were served as controls. The exons 3、5、6、7、11 and 12 of the PAH gene were ampliifed by polymerase chain reaction. The amplicons were analyzed by single strand conformation polymorphism and sequencing. Results Mutations were identiifed for 51 of 60 alleles in this study, representing a mutation detection rate of 85%. A total of 16 different causative mutations were detected, including 8 missense mutations (R 241 C、R 243 Q、R 252 Q、G 257 V、R 359 K、R 408 Q、R 413 P、Q 419 R), 3 splicing mutations (IVS 4-1 G?>?A、Y 204 C、IVS 7+2 T?>?A), 3 nonsense mutations (R 111 X、Q 160 X、Y 356 X), 1 synonymous mutation (V 399 V) and 1 deletion (N 183 del). R 243 Q ( 18 . 3%) had the highest frequency of PAH mutations, and then Y 204 C ( 11 . 7%)、IVS 4-1 G?>?A ( 10 . 0%)、R 111 X ( 6 . 7%) and IVS 7+2 T?>?A ( 6 . 7%). For the ifrst time in China, two novel mutations, deletion mutation N 183 del (C. 547-549 delGAA) in exon 6 and missense mutation R 359 K (C. 1078 G?>?A) in exon 11 , were identiifed in PKU children. Two silent mutations, V 245 V (C. 735 G?>?A) and Q 232 Q (C. 696 A?>?G), were observed in PKU children and the controls, but there were no signiifcant difference between them (P?>?0 . 05 ). Conclusions The most common mutations were missense and R 243 Q had the highest frequency of mutation. The identiifcation of 2 novel mutations expands the spectrum of Chinese PAH mutations.

Objectives To evaluate the safety and efficacy of endovascular angioplasty for extracranial vertebral artery ( VA ) stenosis caused by atherosclerosis. Methods We analyzed retrospectively data of the 24 patients with extracranial vertebral artery stenosis who had been placed endovascular angioplasty from April 2006 to March 2010. According to Mori classification, there were 21 type A and 3 type B among all cases.The artery stenosis rate was 60% -95% , the average was 79% ± 10%. Results Twenty-four balloon mounted stents were placed, the successful rate was 100%. Postoperatively the stenosis rate decreased to 4% ± 6%. Patients were followed up from 3 to 36 months, the average was 22 months. Symptomes disappeared in 15 out of 17 patients. Postoperative restenosis on the treatment site with transient brain ischemia occurred in one patient. The symptoms in another patient of multiple cerebral infarction with ataxia and episodic vertigo were not relieved, although the patient didn't suffer from apoplectic seizure after the intervention. Postoperative color Doppler ultrasound revealed an over 50% residual stenosis in 5 patients. The postoperative restenosis rate was 20. 8%. According to Malek scoring, 22 patients were scored 1 point, 1 patient scored 2 and one scored 4. Conclusions Endovascular angioplasty with stent placement is a safe and effective treatment. The restenosis rate could be futher reduced by technology improvement.

Objective To compare the value on assessment of perfusion weighted imaging (PWI) using Gd-DTPA and the superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) particles (Resovist) in the experimental model of hyperacute cerebral infarction in rats. Methods Thirty Wistar rats were randomly divided into Group A and B (each n=15). After occluding the left middle cerebral artery with thread for 1 h in all rats, two dynamic MR perfusion imaging series were acquired after intravenous bolus injections of 8 μmol Fe/kg SPIO (Group A) and 0.2 mmol/kg Gd-DTPA (Group B), respectively. The doses were chosen to obtain similar maximum signal change in normally perfused brain. The perfusion imaging was compared between the region of interest (ROI) in the core area with severe ischemia and in the penumbra area of moderate ischemia. The parameters were compared between two groups with pathologic findings and TTC stain. Results The first-passage profiles were found to be similar for Gd-DTPA and SPIO, both in the core area with severe ischemia and in the penumbra area of moderate ischemia of rats models. No statistical difference of the parameters (CBV, MTT, TTP) of PWI for ischemic penumbra was detected between Group A and B. Conclusion The efficacy of the Resovist using in the MR PWI is similar to Gd-DTPA for diagnosis of the perfusion reduction in the rat stroke models. Strong susceptibility effects may be achieved with small injection volumes. Resovist may play an important role in MR PWI.
