0.05) but the incidence of toxicities in Group B was higher than in the other two groups. CONCLUSION:Comparatively speaking,Gemcitabine administered at 8 ∶ 00 was proved to be safer and more effective as compared with the other two groups in the treatment of NSCLC.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and advantages of the technique by combined PCNL and retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) in a second stage to treat the complex renal stones in solitary kidney cases.Methods PCNL most with a single 18-24 F tract was performed first and RIRS was carried out at a second stage in solitary kidneys of 21 patients,of which congenital in 14.3％ (3 cases),contralateral nephrectomy in 42.8％ (9 cases),and functional solitry kidneys in 42.8％ (9 cases).Of the 21 patients,the average age was 45 years with 15 males and 6 females.The stones were 8 multiple,6 partial staghorn,and 7 complete staghorn with a mean size of 4.6 (3.8-6.8) cm.Results Of the 21 PCNL cases,a single tract,double,triple tracts were established in 18 (85.7％),2 (9.5％),1 (4.8％) cases,respectively.Mean operation time of PCNL was 95 (45-175) min.After 1 day of PCNL,all case had residual stones with a mean size of 1.9 (1.0-3.5) cm.Two case occurred fever after PCNL and one case presented bleeding resolved by selective renal artery embolization.The mean operation time of RIRS was 72 (35-95) min.Stone-free rate after RIRS was 85.7％ (18/21).The final stone free rate increased to 95.2％ (20/21) after one case received a second-look PCNL and two cases accepted ESWL.Two cases occurred fever and steinstrasses after RIRS resolved by rigid ureteroscopy.At the 3 months follow-up,renal function became stable,improved and worse in 71.4％ (n=15),23.8％ (n=5),and 4.8％ (n=l) of patients.Conclusions PCNL combined with RIRS could be an effective and safe option for complex stones in solitary kidneys with less bleeding,reduced tracts,minor complications and good renal function preservation.

Objective To compare the efficiency between mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy (MPCNL) and extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) for monotherapy of renal calculi in infants less than 3 years.Methods Forty-six infants were treated with either SWL (22 infants) or MPCNL monotherapy (24 infants).The mean age was (22.6 ± 8.7) months vs (23.5 ± 6.6) months and the stone size was (21.4 ± 3.5) mm vs (21.7 ± 1.7) mm,and there were no significant difference.Results For MPCNL,mean operating time was (76.2 ± 23.4) min and mean hospital stay was (14.13 ± 5.8) d.The stone-free rates were 84.0％ (21/25) after first session and 96.0％ (24/25) after second-look procedure.Postoperative fever happened in 4 (16.0％) cases.Hemoglobin drop was (8.5 ± 4.4) g/L and no one needed blood transfusion.For ESWL,the stone-free rate were 31.8％ (7/22) after first session and 86.3％ (19/22) after second session for 11 infants (50.0％).Mean hospital stay was (6.6 ± 2.3) d and 10 cases (45.5％)had complications.Hemoglobin drop was (10.6 ± 12.7) g/L.MPCNL was lower than ESWL in complications rate and re-treatment rate,and the stone-free rate was higher,but the hospital stay and operation time was longer (P ＜ 0.05).GFR revealed improve or stable after operation in both groups.Conclusions For a higher success rate,lower complication rate and re-treatment rate,MPCNL was an effective option for the management of relatively larger stones in children (even in infants).

Objective To study the clinical efficacy of recombinant human epidermal growth factor (rhEGF) in the treatment of sacrococcygeal decubitus ulcers grade Ⅲ with direct polymerizing suture after appling rhEGF to reinforce wound bed preparation (WBP). Methods From January 2007 to October 2009, 60 patients with sacrococcygeal decubitus ulcers Grade Ⅲ, were divided into control group and treatment group. The ulcer size was 3 cm × 4 cm to 10 cm × 12 cm and all ulcers were infected for 15-70 d. Treatment group received traditional dressing change and appling rhEGF to reinforce wound bed preparation. Control group received traditional dressing change only. The operative technique that we used in two groups was direct polymerizing suture. Cure rate of stage Ⅰ and complication morbidities were analyzed. Results Cure rate of stage Ⅰ was 87% in treatment group and 70% in control group. Complication morbidities were 13% in treatment group and 30% in control group. The difference between these two groups was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05). Conclusion Appling rhEGF to reinforce wound bed preparation before operation could make subsequent treatment more effective and improve the cure ratio of operation with decreasing complications and morbidities. And more, dissecting under fascia possesses the advantages of easiness to perform and rich blood supply.The method of appling rhEGF with direct polymerizing suture is a simple, high efficient approach for the first repairment of sacrococcygeal decubitus ulcers grade Ⅲ, especially desirable for the elderly.

Objective To investigate the effect of 3 concentrations of sevoflurane pretreatment on acute lung injury induced by endotoxin in rats. Methods Thirty-six male SD rats were randomly divided into 6 groups:a control group(Group A), a sevoflurane group(Group B), a 3.6% sevoflurane pretreatment group(Group C), a 2.4% Sevoflurane pretreatment group(Group D), a 1.2% sevo sevoflurane pretreatment group(Group E), and lipopolysaccharide (Group F).The rats were killed 6 h after lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or saline injection.Histological examinations of the lung tissues were performed with light microscope. Lung wet/dry weight (W/D) ratio, myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity, and intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) mRNA expression were assayed. Results Introvenous LPS significantly aggravated lung tissue damage,increased lung W/D ratio, MPO activity, and lung ICAM-1 mRNA expression compared with the control group(P＜0.05). Precondition with 2.4% sevoflurane significantly attenuated the above mentioned changes induced by LPS (P＜0.05). The 3.6% LPS (Group C) significantly attenuated lung tissue damage and decreased MPO activity,lung ICAM-1 mRNA expression compared with the Group F (P＜0.05),but no significant change in lung W/D ratio was seen (P＞0.05). MPO activity was significantly decreased in Group E (P＜0.05), but lung W/D ratio and lung ICAM- 1 mRNA expression had no significant changes (P＞0.05).Conclusion Precondition with 2.4% sevoflurane can reduce LPS induced lung injury in rats. Decreased expression of ICAM-1 and less accumulation of neutrophils were participated in its mechanism.

Objective To explore the serum expression of DKK1 protein, a Wnt signaling pathway inhibitor in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and its relationship with osseous metastasis. Methods Serum DKK1 protein levels were assayed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in NSCLC patients, including 33 NSCLC patients with osseous metastasis and 41 NSCLC patients without respectively, and 32 healthy volunteers were served as the control group. Furthermore, the differential expression of the serum DKK1 protein level between the patients and the volunteers was compared by using the variance analysis and the independent sample t test. The correlation between DKK1 expression and bone metastasis was detected by Pearson correlation analysis. Results Serum DKK1 protein level of NSCLC patients was (79.6±8.3) ng/ml, which was significantly higher than that in healthy volunteers [(21.5±6.4) ng/ml, t=13.17, P=0.001]. The serum DKK1 level in osseous metastasis group was (110.3±11.4) ng/ml, which was significantly higher than that in non-skeletal metastasis group [(60.7±10.5) ng/ml, t=14.128, P=0.003]. The positive association was observed between the DKK1 level in the peripheral blood and osseous metastasis in NSCLC patients (r=0.855, P<0.001). Conclusion The serum expression level of DKK1 protein in NSCLC patients is closely related to the osseous metastasis, which may be a predicting biomarker for the osseous metastasis.
