Chinese Journal of Urology 2012;33(10):729-734
Objective To evaluate the status of urological laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (LESS) technique in China. Methods We had conducted a systematic review of literatures of urological laparoendoscopic single-site surgery published from Chinese institutions using WanFang,CNKI,VIP,CBM,GoogleScholar and MEDLINE databases.All relevant articles were selected with consensus and analyzed according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results Overall,205 articles from 66 different centers all over China published between January 2009 and June 2012 were included in the analysis. Of which,there were 26 articles of science citation index papers and 179 articles from Chinese academic journals.The included literature was mainly composed of case series reports ( 133 articles,64.9% ),comparison studies (13 articles,6.3% ),reviews or comments (20 papers,9.8% ),nursing related papers (28 pieces,13.7% ),animal surgery studies (6 articles,2.9% ),and training (5 articles,2.4% ).A total of 1790 clinical cases were reported during the study period,56.9% of these were procedures done in the upper urinary tract,only 5.8% were in the lower urinary tract,and 37.3% were genital or other procedures.Procedures of tumor-related and reconstruction required accounted for 18.8% and 18.7%,respectively.Pure single-port technique was applied on 58.3% of cases.In cases of a single-port platform used,45.6% used the commercially available devices and 54.4% used homemade devices.Transperitoneal accesses were adopted in 59.5% of cases and the other 40.5% were performed through extraperitoneal approaches.The umbilicus was used as the site of access in 58.5% of cases.A total of 25 indications were reported,including adrenalectomy,nephrectomy and ureterolithotomy,etc. in the upper urinary tract,radical cystectomy,radical prostatectomy and transvesical enucleation of the prostate,etc.in the lower urinary tract,and varicocelectomy,orchidopexy and others. The three most often done procedures were varicocelectomy (601 cases,33.6% ),renal cyst decortication (408 cases,22.8% ) and adrenalectomy ( 179 cases,10.0% ).The overall conversion rate was 5.5%,and complications were encountered in 3.4% of cases. Conclusions Laparoendoscopic single-site surgery has been widely adopted by Chinese urologists and largely covered the spectrum of conventional urologic laparoscopic procedures,with most of these being non-reconstructive operations for the treatment of benign diseases.In large,we are still under the initial stage of LESS application in urology.And more work on creative innovation and well-designed studies are needed to further evaluate its role in the urological minimally invasive surgery.

Objective The effectiveness of continuous veno-venous hemofiltration (CVVH) in clearing cytokines and reducing mortality in endotoxic shock is still controversial. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of CVVH on hemodynamies and plasma proinflammatory cytokines (TNF-?, IL-6, IL-10) during endotoxic shock in sheep. Methods Twelve male sheep weighing 14.5-20.5 kg were randomly divided into two groups of six animals :(A) control group and (B) CVVH group. Endotoxin (L-2880 sigma) 1 mg?kg-1 was infused intravenously(i.v. ) over 30 min and lactated Ringer's solution at 15 mlf44kg-1 f44h-1 for 6h in both groups. In CVVH group (B) CVVH was used for 5 h starting from 1h after the beginning of endotoxin infusion. The animals were anesthetized with midazolam and vecuronium. After tracheal intubation the animals were mechanically ventilated. Femoral artery was cannulated for continuous direct BP monitoring. 5F Swan-Ganz catheter was inserted into pulmonary artery via right internal jugular vein. Cardiac output ( CO), stroke volume ( SV), cardiac index (CI), MPAP, PAWP, SVRI, PVRI and LVSWI were measured, calculated and recorded before endotoxin infusion (T0 , baseline) and at 30, 60, 90, 120, 210 and 360 min (T6) after endotoxin infusion was started. Blood and ultrafiltrate samples were taken at T6 for determination of TNF-a,IL-6 and IL-10 concentrations. Results MAP and SVRI were significantly decreased while HR and SVRI were significantly increased after T, in both groups. MAP and SVRI were significantly higher at T6 in CVVH group than in control group ( P

The difference in serum calcium levels between patients with typical hyperthyroidism and apathetic hyperthyroidism was analyzed. Serum calcium levels in patients with apathetic hyperthyroidism were higher than those in patients with typical hyperthyroidism, while bone-specific alkaline phosphatase levels were lower. The atypical manifestation of apathetic hyperthyroidism may be due to the significant elevation of serum calcium level.

Objective To compare the changes of high sensitive-C reactive protein (hs-CRP) and cardiac troponin Ⅰ ( cTn Ⅰ ) levels before and after intensive therapy in patients with type 2 diabetes,and to find out the reasonable glucose-lowering rate.Methods One hundred and thirty-two cases of type 2 diabetes( T2DM group) and 135 cases of type 2 diabetes with coronary heart disease( T2DM+CHD group) received intensive therapy.After testing hs-CRP and cTn Ⅰ levels,the variations were analyzed.Results The ranges of the change in cTn Ⅰ and hs-CRP levels were different under four glucose-lowering rates in the T2DM+CHD group( P<0.05 ).cTn Ⅰ and hs-CRP levels were higher than those before intensive therapy in the T2DM+CHD group with glucose-lowering rate greater than 4.0mmol· L-1 · d-1.The other two subgroups with glucose-lowering rate less than 4.0 mmol· L-1 · d-1 showed decreased cTn Ⅰ and hs-CRP levels.While at the end of 3 months follow-up,cTn Ⅰ and hs-CRP levels were all significantly lower than those before intensive therapy in four subgroups ( P<0.05 ).Conclusions The increase of cardiovascular events after intensive therapy may be due to excessively fast glucose-lowering rate.The reasonable glucose-lowering rate for patients with type 2 diabetes should depend on whether there is accompanying coronary heart disease.For type 2 diabetes with coronary heart disease,excessively fast glucose-lowering rate could lead to acute rise ofcTn Ⅰ and hs-CRP levels,which causes myocardial injury.The mechanism of myocardial injury resulted from excessively fast glucose-lowering rate may be due to activation of the inflammatory pathway.In type 2 diabetes with coronary heart disease,long-term good control of blood glucose could alleviate inflammatory response and cardiac damage resulted from excessively fast glucose-lowering rate.
