Chinese Journal of Urology 1994;0(02):-
Objective To evaluate the application of capsaicin to improve bladder stability after suprapubic prostatectomy for BPH. Methods 40 patients with BPH underwent suprapubic prostatectomy under epidural anesthesia were randomly divided into A?B?C and D groups (n=10 in each group).Capsaicin of 1 mmol/L was instilled into the bladder preoperatively for 30 minutes in group B and group D had 10 ml of 1 mmol/L capsaicin given epidurally.Group A and Group C received saline only. Results The bladder instability was lessened.The time of bladder perfusion clearance,indwelling catheter delivery,duration of cystospasm and number of postoperative cystospasm cases in group B and D reduced significantly as compared with group A and C.The Pdet and volume were improved significantly,the Qmax and residual urine were also improved. Conclusions The intravesical and epidural capsaicin delivery helps to prevent detrusor instability and reduces the pain caused by postoperative cystospasm.It also improves the bladder function deteriorated by BPH.

In recent years, tumor has become one of the major diseases that endanger human health. It is of great significance to explore the pathogenesis of tumors in the prevention, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of tumors. microRNA (miRNA) is a class of small non-coding RNA, which is involved in post transcriptional processing, epigenetic inheritance, cell growth and individual development and other important life activities. miRNA, charactered by oncogenes and anti-oncogenes function, participates in the development, invasion and metastasis of tumors. Telomeres, located at the end of chromosomes, are closely related to the malignant transformation of cells and the aging of human. To understand the pathogenesis of tumors and to provide a novel direction for the diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of tumors, the role and the relationship of miRNA and telomere in tumors are reviewed in this paper.

Patient′s expectation has been defined as the anticipation that given events were likely to occur during, or as an outcome of, health care. What people expect from their health care are potentially important in predicting patient satisfaction and dissatisfaction with their care, treatment and health outcomes. There was widespread recognition of the importance of evaluating services from consumer perspectives. In this article, domestic and foreign research in recent years, expectations status, significance and various influencing factors in relation to the expectations in processes of health care were summarized. Consumer evaluations of their health care are now an established component of quality assessment, planners need to understand the expectations underlying patients′views in order to interpret their feedback. Thus leading to improve patient satisfaction and the social evaluation of medical units.

Alzheimer’ s disease ( AD) is one of the most common dementia of neurodegenerative disorders, which results from the deposition of amyloid-beta ( Aβ) and there are no curative treatments for this disease at present.It had been proved that prion protein is the receptor for Aβand it plays a key role in the progress of AD with dual-side effects. Prion protein can not only transfer neurotoxicity to neurons but also protect them from neurotoxicity of Aβ.The polymor-phisms of prion protein encoding gene ( PRNP) affect the AD incubation period and clinical symptoms in humans and other animals.The discovery of PRNP mutational mouse fills the gaps of existing AD mouse models in this research area, which is potential for the studies of pathogenesis, new drugs design and testing aspects.The role and effects of prion protein in AD pathogenesis were summarized in this paper, furthermore, the discovery and utility of PRNP gene mutational mouse in research on AD and/or amyloid diseases were reviewed, and in order to provide some guidance for AD animal model study.

Objective To assess the clinical outcomes in patients who underwent laparoscopic primary closure of common bile duct (CBD) with or without transcystic cholangiography and transcystic biliary drainage.Methods From June 2013 to March 2016,we operated on 46 patients who underwent primary closure of common bile duct after laparoscopic choledochotomy (group A).The results were compared with 51 patients who underwent primary closure of common bile duct after laparoscopic choledochotomy together with transcystic biliary drainage (group B) during the same study period.Results There was a significant difference in the incidence of postoperative bile leakage between the two groups.The risk in group A was sig nificantly higher than group B (8.7% vs 0%,P <0.05).The duration of operation in group A was significantly shorter than in group B [(125.3 ± 28.3) min vs (131.3 ± 20.5) min].There were no significant differences in the duration of hospital stay between the two groups [(7.3 ± 2.4) days vs (7.8 ± 1.9) days,P > 0.05].All patients were followed up (range 3 months to 29 months,average 8.4 months).B-ultrasound examination showed no residual bile duct stones and the liver functions were normal.Conclusions Laparoscopic primary closure of common bile duct was possible after choledochotomy.Transcystic cholangiography and transcystic biliary drainage after primary closure of common bile duct were safer and more reli able.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the effects of Huobahuagen Tablets combined with irbesartan on the risk factors of IgA nephropathy. METHODS: Sixty-two patients diagnosed as IgA nephropathy were randomly divided into control group and treatment group. Thirty patients in the control group were treated with Huobahuagen Tablets (5 tablets po t.i.d.), and 32 patients in the treatment group were treated with irbesartan (150 to 300 mg po q.d.), besides the same treatment as the control group. After 3 months of treatment, the levels of blood pressure (BP), 24 h urine protein (Upr), urinary red blood cells (URBC), blood triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (TC), albumin (Alb), alanine transaminase (ALT), white blood cells (WBC) and serum creatinine (Scr) were observed. RESULTS: After treatment, the levels of Upr, URBC and Scr in both groups were decreased, as compared with those before treatment (P<0.05 or P<0.01), and the levels of BP, Upr, URBC and Scr in the treatment group were lower than those in the control group (P<0.01). The levels of Alb in both groups were increased, as compared with those before treatment (P<0.05 or P<0.01), and the level of Alb in the treatment group was higher than that in the control group (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Huobahuagen Tablets, when used together with irbesartan, may improve the renal function of the patients with IgA nephropathy and slow the deterioration of the disease by reducing BP, Upr, URBC and Scr.

Purpose:To study the feasibility of 1 H-magnetic resonance spectroscopy ( 1 H-MRS) in the chemical induced rat hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) model by a new 1.5T MR set and endeavor to have an initial understanding of the characteristics of its cancer development. Methods:Diethylnitrosamine (DEN) induced rat HCC models(n=30) were established. At different intervals rats were randomly scanned before being killed on the following day. Their livers were dissected for histopathologic study. Results:Three rats died unexpectedly. 27 rats (90%) developed liver lesions and were investigated according to the plan. T 1 WI is good for demonstration of anatomic structure and T 2 WI at showing the lesions in detail. The scanning methods have been improved gradually. 1 H-MRS results were satisfactory for 64% of the single-voxel and 50% of the multi-voxel respectively. Conclusions:DEN induced rat HCC model is suitable for the Medical Imaging studies and liver 1 H-MRS scan is practical with this new 1.5T unit.

Objective To approach the feasibility of identifying the specific biomarker of ovarian cancer by SELDI TOF mass spectrometry. Methods The relative contents of serum protein of both 24 the patients with ovarian cancer and 56 cases of healthy people were tested by IMAC3 chip and proteinchip reader (CipherGen Inc., VS). Results On the M/Z values ranged from 4000Da to 10000Da, there were six kinds of protein contents in the serum of the were obviously different between the two groups. Among them the serum protein of M/Z value 4472Da may be regarded as a specific biomarker of ovarian cancer. In the learning mode, all the 24 patients and 56 control people were diagnosed and distinguished out correctly, while in the test mode, 23 patients were correctly diagnosed and 56 control people were distinguished out, the total accuracy was 98 75%(79/80), and the sensitivity and specificity were 95 8%(23/24) and 100%(56/56), respectively. Conclusion Ovarian cancer can be quickly and correctly diagnosed by this method with high sensitivity and specificity. That will be widely used in clinical application
