Objective To evaluate the use of endoscopy in assessment of invasion depth of colorectal flat lesions and in choice of treatment strategy. Methods The invasion depth of 222 colorectal flat lesions from 188 patients was endoscopically estimated by pit patterns, air-induced deformation testing and/or lifting sign. The lesion was endoscopically rosected if both tests were positive, otherwise, surgery was applied. The pathological evaluation of resected lesion was made according to WHO criteria and was used as a reference of tumor invasion depth. The sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value of airinduced deformation testing and lifting sign in prediction of invasion depth of tumors were calculated. Results The air-induced deformation testing and lifting sign were both positive in 212 cases, in which 192 were treated with endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR), 15 with endoscopic piecemeal mucosal resection (EPMR), 2 with additional surgery after EPMR and 3 with surgery only. Either air-induced deformation tesring or lifting sign was negative in 10, in which 4 cases underwent surgical resection. The sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value of air-induced deformation testing and lifting sign in prediction of invasion depth of tumors were 97.2%, 44. 4%, 97.6% and 40. 0%, respectively. Conclusion Endoscopic air-induced deformation testing and lifting sign can be used to predict invasion depth of colorectal flat tumors, which can guide instant therapeutic strategies and avoid excessive or insufficient treatments.

Objective To observe the effect of home nursing based upon protocol nursing theory on liq-uid intake compliance improvement of patients undergoing hemedialysis. Methods Forty-eight HD patients of hquid intake un-compliance were randomized into the observation group and the control group with 24 cases in each group. The control group received routine nursing, the observation group was given home care instruc-tion based upon protocol nursing theory for 1 month. The two groups both received follow-up for 3 months and their liquid intake comphance were evaluated before and after intervention. The relationship between family sup-port and relative increase of body weight during hemodialysis was also evaluated. Results The IDGW relative magnitude was lower, the compliance of liquid intake was higher, the level of family support was higher in the observation group than those of the control group. There was negative correlation between the family support and the IDGW relative magnitude the IDGW relative magnitude, family support, comphance of liquid intake. Conclusions Home care nursing based upon nursing theory facilitate patients to get effect family support, increase the compliance of hquid intake and make IDGW within desirable range.

Objective To investigate changes in symptoms and quality of life (QOL) score before and after transurethral resection of the prostate ( TURP), and their related factors. Methods Forty-seven elderly male patients of benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) with lower urinary tract symptoms were enrolled in the study, with an average age of 72 years. They all were undergone with TURP and evaluated with international prostate symptoms score (IPSS), QOL score, maximal urine flow rate (Qmax), residual urine volume, pressure-urine flow rate and prostate size before and after the procedure. Changes in these parameters and their related factors were analyzed. Results No complication was observed during TURP in the 47 patients. After TURP, two patients suffered from distal urethra stricture, one from retrograde ejaculation and six from aggravated urgent incontinence, and symptoms relieved with symptomatic treatment in all of them. Significant difference in overall IPSS, irritant score and obstructive score pre- and post-operation was observed P < 0.01, i. e. , 22.7 ±4.9 and 10.5 ± 5.8, 10.5 ± 5.8 and 6.3 ± 3.5, and 12.1± 3.9 and 4.2 ± 3.3, respectively. QOL score was 4.6 ± 0.9 and 2.3 ± 1.3, Qmax (5.8 ± 2.9 ) ml/s and (12.4 ±5.2) ml/s and residual urine volume (99 ± 16) ml and (34 ± 19) ml pre- and post-operation,respectively ( all P < 0.01 ). Follow-up time after the procedure, prostate volume and bladder volume at urgent urination desire all correlated with post-operation IPSS ( r = 0.751, P < 0.05 ), and follow-up time after the procedure and age also significant correlated with post-operation QOL score (r = 0.470, P < 0.05 ).Conclusions Overall IPSS, irritant score, obstructive score and QOL score improved significantly after TURP in symptomatic BPH patients, probably by varied related factors.

Objective To investigate whether lipids and reagents would interfere the results when serum total bile acid(TBA) was measured by enzymatic cycling assay.Methods The serum TBA was measured by enzymatic cycling assay.The carry-over contaminations of high density lipoprotein(HDL-C),low density lipoprotein(LDL-C),cholesterol(TC),and triglyceride(TG)rea-gents were evaluated.In order to reduce the interference and carry-over contaminations,different washing procedures and detection sequence were set.Results By measuring the levels of TBA in pooled serums with low and high levels of lipids,the results showed that there was statistically significant difference between the groups with and without the addition of cleaning process before and af-ter TBA measurement(P <0.01).Cleaning with water might be more effective on reducing interference than those with acid solu-tion.Moreover,the mean of TBA levels in HDL-C,TC,TG and LDL-C reagents were (476.06 ± 1.88 ),(127.78 ± 1.18 ), (121.05±1.08),and (2.23±0.51)μmol/L,respectively.The stability of TBA level was greatly affected by HDL-C regents,fol-lowing by TC and TG reagents,and was little affected by LDL-C reagent.Setting up proper detection sequence and flushing proce-dures could obviously reduce the interference(P <0.01),but not completely rule out.Conclusion Analysis sequence and flushing procedures of biochemical analyzer as well as exogenous substance from reagents may seriously affect the accuracy of determination results.To ensure the accuracy and reliability of the results,it is necessary not only to set up reasonable irrigation and reaction se-quence,but also to master the instrument operation,to know the principle of test reaction and the components of reagents as well as equipment maintenance.

Summary: Structural nasal obstruction(SNO) is a series of diseases caused by congenital or acquired structural anatomical abnormalities of nasal airway and its surrounding tissues, which leads to increased nasal ventilation resistance. The effect of medication drugs for SNO is poor and surgical intervention is often needed. However, the abnormal structure of nasal airway is very complex, including the periphery of nasal airway, internal nasal airway, the front and rear of nasal airway and complex factors. These abnormal structures may interfere with the nasal airflow mechanics by changing the nasal ventilation volume and disrupting the symmetry of the bilateral nasal cavity, and finally lead to subjective feeling of nasal obstruction. In addition, the structure of nasal airway has plasticity. After the abnormal structure appears, the corresponding compensation of nasal airway can occur to ensure normal nasal ventilation and bilateral nasal cavity symmetry. Therefore, the SNO is the result of the failure of nasal airway remodeling after the appearance of abnormal structures. The etiology of SNO is complex, involving original structural abnormalities, nasal symmetry changing and nasal airway structure remodeling. Therefore, accurate identification of the main factors leading to SNO is the vitalpremise of making personalized nasal ventilation surgery.
