Objective To investigate the effects of intravesical therapy with elemene in preventing postoperative recurrence of superficial bladder cancer and its toxic and side effects. Methods This series included 123 patients with superficial bladder cancer (T 1),consisting of transitional cell carcinoma GⅠ in 37 cases,GⅡ in 73 and GⅢ in 13.They all underwent surgical treatment. Postoperatively, they were randomly assigned to 2 groups:63 patients in elemene group received instillation of elemene (400 mg,once a week) 2 weeks after operation and 60 patients in mitomycin C (MMC) group received instillation of MMC(40 mg,once a week) 2 weeks after operation. The instillations were repeated for 6 weeks and thereafter monthly for 1 year.The recurrence rates,side effects,and NK cell activity before and after treatment were evaluated. Results The recurrence rate of elemene group (mean follow-up of 19.7 months) was 7.9% (5 cases),which was significantly lower than that (25.0%,15 cases) of MMC group (mean follow-up of 19.4 months;P

Objective To evaluate and compare open and retroperitoneal laparoscopic adrenalectomy.Methods Clinical data of 30 cases undergoing open adrenalectomy and 119 cases undergoing retroperitoneal laparoscopic surgery were retrospectively analyzed. The 2 groups were compared in terms of these aspects: operation duration, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative analgesic use, time to remove drainage tube, time to resume eat, postoperative hospitalization time, complications, and tumor recurrence. In open surgery group, tumor diameter was between 0.5 cm -10.8 cm, 4.57 cm in average. 18 tumors were located on the left side and 12 tumors on the right side. In laparoscopic group, tumor diameter was between 0.8 cm -14.5 cm, 2.78 cm in average. 59tumors were located on the left side and 60 tumors on the right side. Patients in open surgery group were followed up for 6-72 months and retroperitoneal laparoscopic group 4-20 months. Results Open adrenalectomy were successful in all the 30 cases. 12 cases in laparoscopic surgery group converted to open surgery among whom 8 cases were due to poor visibility, 1 case due to renal artery injury, 1 case due to large tumor size, 1 case because of diaphragmatic injury and 1 case because of pleural injury. Laparoscopic surgery was superior to open surgery in terms of operation duration, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative analgesic use, time to start food taking, time to remove drainage tube, and postoperative hospitalization time. The difference had statistical significance (P ＜0.05 ). Conclusion Retroperitoneal laparoscopic adrenalectomy has advantages such as less trauma, less blood loss, and shorter recovery time, which make this procedure the modern golden standard for treatment of benign adrenal neoplasm.

Objective To discuss the reason of pain on the shoulders and epigastrium after the reprotenal laparoscopic operations. Methods One hundred and eight patients had undergone the laparoscopic adrenalectomy or laparoscopie renal cyst unroofing. They were divided into two groups at random, group A and group B. In group A, discharged CO2 as soon as finished the operation, but did not in group B. At the same period, there were 49 patients who had received retroperitoneal laparoscopic radical nephrectomy, divided into two groups by the CO2-pheunopertomeum time, group C and group D. In the group D, the CO2-pheunopertomeum time was over 90 minutes, and the time was less than 90 minutes in the group C. Evaluated the pain degree through the vision analogue score (VAS) and recorded the pH,PaO2, PaCO2,BE in the arterial blood in group A and B before and after operation. Results The incidence rate of pain postoperation was significantly higher in group B than A (P < 0.05). In group A and group B, there was no difference in PaCO2, PaO2, pH, BE in the arterial blood(P > 0.05 ). The incidence rate of pain and the grade of VSA both were significantly higher in group D than group C (P < 0.05). Conclusions The stimuli of acid materials such as carbonate that derived from postoperative residual CO2 is probably the main cause of the pain on the shoulders and epigastrium after the laparoscopicsurgery.

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy and complication rate by open or retroperitoneal laparoscopic radical nephrectomy for renal tumor with stages T1N0M0 or T2N0M0.Methods Between October 2003 and October 2006,90 patients with renal cell carcinoma,which were clinically localized stages T1N0M0 or T2NOM0 Based on the patients' options to undergo retroperitoneal laparoscopic radical nephrectomy (group A,49 patients)and open radical nephrectomy(group B,41 patients).The clinical efficacy were compared between group A and group B,retrospectively.Results In group A,the operations of 46 patients were successful,4 cases occurred major complications(8.7%)during the follow-up visit which lasted for (21.9±6.1)months.The operations in group B were all successful.9 cases occurred major complications (22.5%)during the follow-up visit which lasted for(24.9±7.8)months.All cases were renal malignant tumors with pathologically confirmed stages T1N0M0 or T2N0M0 and there were no renal pedical lymph node metastasis.The age,weight,body mass index(BMI),tumor size,operating time and the time of follow-up were no statistically significant differences between the two groups(P＞0.05),while the blood loss,amount of postoperative drainage,time to ambulation,recovery of intestinal function after operation,hospital stay,use of analgesic and transfusion blood or plasma in group A were significantly reduced than those in group B(P＜0.01). Conclusions As compared with open radical nephrectomy,retroperitoneal laparoscopic radical nephrectomy afords patients with renal cell carcinoma an impreved postoperative course with minimal invasion,less pain,quicker recovery and less complications,while providing equally effective cancer control for patients with T1N0M0 or T2N0M0 tumor.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of solifenacin with or without tamsulosin in patients with overactive bladder (OAB).Methods Fifty-three patients with OAB were randomly divided into two groups (group A 27 patients, group B 26 patients).The patients received either solifenacin 5 mg/day in group A or combined with Tamsulosin 0.2 mg/day in group B for two weeks.During the treatent period all the patients recorded voiding and adverse events in a diary.The symptoms of urgency, frequency, incontinence were evaluated by OABSS scores at the begining and end of the therapy period.The results of the efficacy and safety were analyzed by using SPSS 13.0.Results The OABSS scores at the begining and end for the two groups were significantly different ( P ＜ 0.01 ).In both groups the efficacy was obvious.The OABSS scores at the end of the therapy between group A and B were significantly different (P ＜0.05 ).The efficacy of group B was better than that of group A.Conclusion The efficacy of solifenacin combined with tamsulosin was better than solifenacin alone in OAB.

Chronic heart failure(CHF)is the performance of end-stage cardiovascular disease and the leading cause of death in recent years.With the rapid development of medical care,the mortality rate of heart failure is still high.This is one in the two major challenges in the cardiovascular field in the 21st century.The new drug LCZ696 is a dual inhibitors of angiotensin receptor blockers(ARB)and neprilysin(NEP),which may lead to new hope for patients with heart failure.In order to determine the efficacy and safety of LCZ696 in the treatment of heart failure,foreign countries have carried out some large-scale trials,such as PARAMOUT, PARADIGM,TITRATION and so on.The results of these studies reflected the superiority of LCZ696 compared with enalapril,valsartan and other drugs in the treatment of chronic heart failure.ARB/antiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors(ACEI)targets the angiotensin receptor to dilate blood vessels and inhibits the sympathetic nerve,but their effects on sodium withdrawal and diuresis are weak.The sacubitril in LCZ696 prevents natriuretic peptide from degrading,strengthens the natriuretic diuretic and further expansion of blood vessels.Thereby it improves water and sodium retention and cardiac function.It can play a better synergistic role combined with valsartan.

Objective:To develop a Risk Assessment Index System (RAIS) on HIV infection among young students based on Delphi method and to provide individual HIV infection risk assessment, targeted prevention and control measures.Methods:Delphi method was applied to determine the index system and weight of the assessment tool through three rounds of expert consultation and overall consideration of opinions and suggestions from 19 experts.Results:The positivity coefficients of three rounds of expert consultation were 100%. The authority coefficient of experts was between 0.887 and 0.945. The Kendall's W coefficients through first, second and third round specialist consultation was 0.379, 0.329 and 0.248, respectively (all P<0.001). The coefficients of variation in the third round were all less than 0.25, indicating that experts' opinion tend to be consistent and the results are highly reliable. The HIV infection risk assessment index system among young students consisted of 7 first grade indices and 54 second grade indices, of which weight was calculated. Conclusions:The RAIS on HIV infection for young students was initially established based on Delphi method, and could be used in the development of HIV infection risk assessment tools for personalized prevention and intervention among young students. However, the reliability, validity and effect of this assessment index system need to be further evaluated.

Objective:To explore the difference of sexual health characteristics and demands in students in different groups, and provide the basis for targeted sexual health eduction for AIDS prevention in young students.Methods:A survey was conducted based on the requirement of health education about sexual health and AIDS prevention in young students by the education department of Guangdong province. A two-step cluster analysis was performed on the survey data obtained by convenient sampling, the variables and number of clusters included were determined by combination of analysis results and professional knowledge. The demographic characteristics, the content and form of sexual health education needed were compared among different groups.Results:Survey data of 3 884 students were collected, and six variables were used for classification: cognition or occurrence masturbation, sexual behavior, frequency of sexual information acquisition, number of acceptable sex partners and AIDS knowledge awareness rate. By these variables, the students were classified into three levels of risk groups: high risk group (46.6%), medium risk group (39.9%) and low risk group (13.5%). As for demographic characteristics, high risk group, with a median age of 19 years, had the highest proportions of boys (65.9%), students with non-heterosexuality orientation (15.2%), urban residents (58.2%), only children (30.8%) and undergraduates (54.7%). Medium risk group, with a median age of 19 years, had the highest proportions of girls (82.7%) and vocational college students (34.0%). Low risk group, with a median age of 18 years, had the highest proportions of rural residents (52.4%), non-only child (80.6%), senior high school students (41.3%), non-boarding students (17.5%) and students without internship and part-time job experience (43.2%). In terms of health education demands, high risk group had a higher demand of information about self-identity, sexual safety, sexual decision making, contraception, abortion, and sexually transmitted disease or AIDS prevention. Medium risk group paid more attention to value on love and marriage, sexual assault. Low risk group showed a higher demand of adolescent physiology knowledge. Compared with low risk group, high risk group had a higher demand of peer education, Internet/multimedia, anonymous counseling and other forms of sexual health education. The differences were significant.Conclusion:The characteristics, sexual knowledge awareness, attitude and behavior, and health education demands of young students in different groups are different, so health education materials and methods should be developed according to the characteristics of different groups to enhance the acceptance and enthusiasm of students and improve the quality of sexual health education.

Objective:To analyze the influencing factors for HIV testing services utilization in students with self-assessed high risk of HIV infection.Methods:The research framework of the influencing factors for HIV testing services utilization in students was developed based on Andersen's health services utilization behavioral model and related literature. A cross-sectional survey was performed in students with self-assessed high risk of HIV infection by an online HIV infection risk assessment tool from March to April 2019. Multiple logistic regressions were applied with hierarchical model.Results:A total of 526 students were included in the study (age: 19.30±1.19 years old), in whom 96.2% agreed that HIV testing should be received after high-risk behavior. 56.7% (298/526) had sexual behavior and the HIV testing rate was 11.0% (58/526). The HIV testing rates in students who had and had no sex behavior were 13.42%(40/298) and 7.89% (18/228), respectively. According to the results from multivariate logistic regression analysis, non-heterosexual (compared with heterosexual, OR=7.88, 95% CI: 3.98-15.61) and higher score of AIDS knowledge awareness (compared with lower score, OR=2.05, 95% CI: 1.07-3.93) in propensity factor module, and having risk sexual behavior (compared with having no risk sexual behavior, OR=2.66, 95% CI: 1.41-5.03) and having diagnosis of STD infection in hospital (compared with having no such diagnosis, OR=6.35, 95% CI: 2.21-18.27) in demand factor module, and receiving health education about AIDS prevention in the past year (compared with receiving no such health education, OR=0.29, 95% CI: 0.11-0.76) and receiving health education about AIDS testing service in the past year (compared with receiving no such health education, OR=3.67, 95% CI: 1.71-7.90) in ability factor module were the influencing factors for utilization of HIV testing services. Conclusions:The acceptance of HIV testing in students needs to be improved urgently. Propensity factors, such as their AIDS knowledge awareness and sexual orientation, and demand factors, such as having risk sexual behavior and STD infection, have obvious impacts on the utilization of HIV testing services. However, health education about AIDS prevention and HIV testing service can play a more important role in facilitating the utilization of HIV testing in students. In the future, we should further strengthen the publicity of voluntary HIV counseling and testing service in students with particular attention to girls and those with risk sexual behaviors.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of "self-categorization" on decision of health preference and the influence of self-categorized deviation in knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) on the willingness of seeking help for sexual health among young students.Methods:From March to April 2019, young students who used a WeChat applet for sexual health and HIV infection risk assessment, which is called "Detective Bear" were recruited and investigated. According to the consistency between the self-categorization of KAP for sexual health and the systematic categorization from their honest answers, the participants were allocated into three groups: consistent, low or high status, according to their judgment on sexual information acquisition, sexual attitude, and the actual number of sexual experiences. Logistic regression was used to analyze the differences in the willingness to seek help for sexual health problems between the three groups.Results:2 009 students with an average age of (19.2±1.1) were included. 54.7% (1 099/2 009) were female, and 98.4% (1 976/2 009) were college, undergraduate or postgraduate students. 49.0% (984/2 009) were in the consistent group, 10.9% (219/2 009) had a lower self-categorization, 40.1% (806/2 009) had a higher self-categorization. Compared with the consistent group, students with lower self-categorization of KAP for sexual health were less likely to assess HIV voluntary counseling and testing (a OR=0.65, 95% CI: 0.43-0.99). However, students with higher self-categorization seemed to dislike seeking help for sexually transmitted diseases (a OR=0.76, 95% CI: 0.59-0.98). Conclusions:Deviation in self-categorization of KAP for sexual health will reduce the young students' willingness to seek help for related problems. Especially those with lower self-categorization, lack of risk consciousness, and refuse to assess counseling and testing may increase the HIV/AIDS epidemic among this population. It is necessary to strengthen the capacity of self-assessment for young students while promoting sex education.
