Objective To investigate the clinical effects and safety of urethral anastomoses and ureteroscopy urethral realignment in the treatment of urethral straddle injury and catheter placement failure. Methods Ninety patients with urethral straddle injury and catheter placement failure were chosen and divided into A group (45 patients, choosing urethral anastomoses) and B group (45 patients, choosing ureteroscopy urethral realignment). The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, hospital staying time and peri-operation complications in both groups were compared. Results The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, hospital staying time in B group were significantly lower than those in A group: (26.15 ± 10.41) min vs. (71.93 ± 14.50) min, (22.37 ± 7.41) ml vs. (50.70 ± 13.25) ml, (3.22 ± 0.97) d vs. (5.19 ± 1.43) d, P<0.05. After 6 months′follow-up, the clinical indicators in peri-operation period of B group were significantly better than those in A group (P<0.05). The complications incidence in B group was significantly lower than that in A group: 2.22%(1/45) vs. 13.33%(6/45), P <0.05. Conclusions The technology of ureteroscopy urethral realignment in the treatment of urethral straddle injury and catheter placement failure can efficiently shorten the operation time, reduce the degree of trauma and accelerate the rehabilitation process, and it is helpful to reduce the risk of complications in peri-operation period.

Objective To investigate the effects and probable mechanism ofShenfu injection on the oxidaitve damage of H2O2-induced PC12 cells.Methods PC12 cells were cultured and exposed to 100μmol/L H2O2 for 1 h to establish the oxidative damage model. The protective effect ofShenfu injection was observed by the cell survival rate measured by colorimetric MTT assay, and the leakage rate of lactic dehydrogense (LDH). Western blot methods were used to detect the expression of NF-κB signaling pathway.Results Compared with the model group,Shenfu injection at 5, 10, 20 ml/L could improve the PC12 cells survival rate (83.11% ± 2.59 %, 87.99% ± 0.59%, 85.26% ± 1.07%vs. 73.82% ± 1.82%;P<0.01 orP<0.05), decrease the LDH leakage rate (32.75% ± 4.10%, 28.52% ± 1.14%, 35.79% ± 1.62%vs. 64.34% ± 3.18%;P<0.01 or P<0.05). Western blot results showed thatShenfu injection could protect the PC12 cells from oxidaitve damage by suppressing the p-p65/p65 (1.30 ± 0.10, 1.17 ± 0.06, 1.37 ± 0.15 vs. 1.70 ± 0.10;P<0.01 orP<0.05), p-IκBα/IκBα (1.07 ± 0.12, 1.00 ± 0.10, 1.03 ± 0.06 vs. 1.17 ± 0.06; P<0.01 orP<0.05).ConclusionShenfu injection has a obvious antioxidant effect on PC12 cells in vitro.

Objective To assess the value of endorectal elastography in the diagnosis of malignant rectal adenoma. Methods Sixty patients referred to the department of basic surgery of Peking Union Medical College Hospital for the evaluation of rectal adenoma from January 2011 to May 2013 were included in this prospective cohort. All patients underwent elasticity score (ES) and strain ratio(SR) examine before operation. To evaluate the reproducibility of the strain-ratio measurements, the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was calculated. Compared with final operational pathological results,the diagnostic values of elasticity score and strain ratio method were assessed. Results Histopathological result showed there were 20 adenomas and 40 adenocarcinomas. The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of ERUS was 68%(27/40), 40%(8/20), 58%(35/60), 69%(27/39), 38%(8/21), respectively. The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of elasticity score was 85%(34/40), 70%(14/20), 80%(48/60), 85%(34/40), 70%(14/20), respectively. The SR of adenocarcinomas was significantly higher than that of adenomas(2.82±1.81 vs 1.23±0.57, t=3.333, P < 0.05). The differences among the SR of benign adenoma, benign adenoma with severe atypical hyperplasia and completely malignant lesions were statistically significant (1.26±0.84 vs 2.94±1.95, 1.42±0.55 vs 2.94±1.95, t=2.619, 2.415, P=0.013, 0.021). When 1.240 was chosen as the best cut-off value of SR, the sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of strain ratio was 82%(33/40), 75%(15/20), 80%(48/60), 87%(33/38), 68%(15/22), respectively. Conclusion Endorectal elasotgraphy can accurately diagnose the malignant rectal adenoma, which can provide reliable preoperative imaging evidence for clinical operation mode.

Objective To investigate the protective effects of elctroacupuncture(EA)at Zusanli(ST36) points on intestinal villas damage and mucosal permeability induced by small intestine pro-inflammatory factors in rats with intestinal ischemia/reperfusion(I/R). Methods 30 Sprague-Dawley(SD)rats were randomly divided into three groups(each,n=10):intestinal I/R group(model group),intestinal I/R+EA ST36 group(EA group)and intestinal I/R+sham EA group(SEA group). Rats were subjected to superior mesenteric artery(SMA)clamping at its root part to occlude the vessel for 30 minutes,followed by reperfusion for 60 minutes to form intestinal I/R models. Rats in EA group received EA at the bilateral ST36 points(2-3 mA,2-100 Hz)for 30 minutes immediately after ischemia,those in SEA group received EA at bilateral sham points(the point was located at 0.5 cm away from ST36 point in its lateral side)with the same frequency and intensity of stimulation as EA group for 30 minutes,and those in model group received no treatment. Animals were sacrificed 60 minutes after reperfusion and segments of distal part of ileum were harvested,then the levels of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)and interleukin-6(IL-6)in intestinal tissue were measured. Histopathologic changes were viewed and graded via light microscopy. A solution of fluorescein isothiocyanate(FITC)-dextran was injected into the lumen of the segment of intestine 30 minutes after reperfusion,systemic blood was drawn via abdominal aorta puncture at 60 minutes after reperfusion,and then the level of FITC-dextran in blood was measured to determine the changes in intestinal permeability. Results Compared to the model group and SEA group,EA ST36 significantly attenuated intestine TNF-α(pg/mg:3.01±0.50 vs. 8.65±1.02,8.42±1.41,both P<0.05)and IL-6 levels(pg/mg:2.51±0.15 vs. 6.34±0.86,6.13±1.12,both P<0.05),successfully maintained low gut injury scores(1.50±0.33 vs. 3.18±0.39,3.04±0.37,both P<0.05), and significantly reduced permeability of the distal ileum and the content of FITC-dextran(μg/L:282.42±73.92 vs. 856.22±229.47,844.22±239.47,both P<0.05). However,there were no significant differences in all above variables between SEA and model group(all P>0.05). Sections of distal ileum from animals in the model group and SEA group showed no obvious difference histologically,and the pathological manifestations were villous tip necrosis, blunt-shaped and collapse. Compared to the model group and SEA group,the intestinal villous injury in animals of EA group was much milder. Conclusion In rats with intestinal I/R injury,EA ST36 points has protective effect on the gut that is possibly due to the fact it may obviously lower the levels of the pro-inflammatory factors of small intestinal tissue,alleviate mucosal insult of gut and reduce the mucosal permeability.

Objective To seek the predictive value of pudendal nerve function that need preventive anti-incontinence surgery at the same time following pelvic prolapse surgery in severe pelvic organ prolapse (POP) patients. Methods Seventy women completed this study from January 2014 to June 2015 in Fuzhou General Hospital of Nanjing Military Command, dividing into four groups: POP with or without coexisting occult stress urinary incontinence (OSUI) in preoperation, women with persistent stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in postoperation, women without SUI in postoperation. The pudendal nerve function in preoperation was measured by using Solar Urodynamic Neuro Module, including pudendal nerve terminal motor latency (PNTML), and amplitude. Results There were statistical significance on bilateral PNTML between POP coexisting OSUI group and only severe POP group [(2.62±0.23) versus (2.40±0.26) ms in right of PNTML, (2.55 ± 0.21) versus (2.37 ± 0.30) ms in left of PNTML; all P<0.05], but no statistical significance on bilateral amplitude (P>0.05). Compared de novo SUI group with POP group in postoperation, de novo SUI group′s right of PNTML was significantly increased [(2.74 ± 0.16) versus (2.47 ± 0.26) ms; P<0.05]; and the right of PNTML was extending 2.5 standard deviation at least compared with the health′s [(2.10±0.20) ms]. Conclusions The PNTML of pudendal nerve of POP coexisting OSUI is severe than only severe POP, the velocity of nerve conduction is slowing, and PNTML extension has a predictive value for postoperative urinary incontinence. When the right of PNTML of preoperative POP increased by at least 2.5 standard deviations than health′s, the risk of SUI postoperative strongly increased, and a anti-incontinence surgery at the same time following pelvic prolapse surgery should be adviced.

Objective To explore the relationship between Stathmin-1 and human papilloma viruse (HPV) persistent infection after conization of uterine cervix, and to show the clinical significance to recurrent of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN). Methods One hundred and six patients who were treated with conization of uterine cervix for CIN 2-3 grades were enrolled. Thirty-six recurrent patients were enrolled in recurrence group, and the others were enrolled in control group. The expression of Stathmin-1 in primary CIN tissues in two groups was detected by immunohistochemistry. The HPV infection was detected by HPV-DNA test. The relationship of HPV persistent infection and recurrence was analyzed. Results The positive expression rate of HPV persistent infection and HPV persistent infection rate in recurrence group were 88.89%(32/36), 83.33%(30/36), in control group were 34.29%(24/70) and 22.86%(16/70), and there were significant difference (P <0.01). Forty-two patients had HPV persistent infection in 56 patients with stathmin-1 positive expression, and 4 patients had HPV persistent infection in 46 patients Stathmin-1 negative expression. There was positive correlation (r=0.97, P<0.01). The type of HPV persistent infection in two groups was no significant difference (P >0.05). Conclusions Stathmin-1 positive expression is related to HPV persistent infection. The two factors can affect the prognosis of high-grade CIN, and can provide new cues and theory basis for the prevention of recurrence.
