Objective To evaluate transurethral ultrasonic scanning in the diagnosis and staging of bladder tumor. Methods Form 1996 to 2000 transurethral ultrasonography(TUUS) was carried out for 70 cases of bladder cancer and the findings were compared with cystoscopy,transabdominal ultrasonography(TAUS),CT,MRI and pathological studies. Results The diagnosis rate of TUUS has been 99.1% being better than cystoscopy and TAUS.The accurate staging rate was 100.0% in stage T 1 tumors, 95.8% in stage T 2,82.4% in stage T 3 and 55.6% in stage T 4. Conclusions TUUS can clearly reveal the depth of tumor infiltration and therefore is an important method for the diagnosis and staging of early bladder tumor.

Objective:To explore androgynous female college students' personality traits,physical and psycho- logical symptom and adaptation to college life.Methods:A cluster sample of 1081 female college students was tested with the Chinese Sex Role Inventory (CSBI),NEO Personality Inventory-Revised (NEO-PI-R),Symptom Checklist 90 (SCL-90),and China College Student Adjustment Scale (CCSAS).Results:(1) The percentage of four gender role stereotypes,including masculine,feminine,androgynous and undifferentiated,were 23.8%,24.1%, 25.1%,27.1% respectively.(2) Androgynous female college students' score of extraversion,openness,agreeable- ness,conscientiousness were highest,for example,androgynous female college students' score of extraversion was (3.7?0.4),but androgynous female college students' score (2.1?0.6) of neuroticism was lowest.In contrast,un- differentiated female college students' scores of extraversion (3.1?0.5),openness,agreeableness,conscientious- ness were lowest,androgynous female college students' score (2.8?0.6) of neuroticism was highest.For other gender role stereotypes,female college students' score was between androgynous and undifferentiated.(3) As to all factors of physical and psychological symptom,androgynous female college students' scores were lowest,but undifferentiated fe- male college students' scores were highest.For example,anxiety score of androgynous female college students was (1.4?0.4),and that of undifferentiated female college students was (1.6?0.6);depression score of androgynous female college students was (1.4?0.4),and that of undifferentiated female college students was (1.6?0.6). (4) Androgynous female college students' adjustment of interpersonal relationship (37.6?5.7) was better than that of undifferentiated female college students (29.4?6.5).Other gender role stereotypes' adjustment scores of interper- sonal relationship were between androgynous and undifferentiated female college students.Conclusion:Although an- drngynous female college students' personality trait,physical and psychological symptom and adaptation to college life are better than other gender role stereotypes statistically,these results need more deeply research.

Objective To investigate the effect of different target plasma concentrations (Cp) of remifentanil on sedative effect of propofol. Methods Eighty adult ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients aged 18-60 yr undergoing elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy were randomly assigned into 4 groups (n = 20 each). Anesthesia was induced with TCI of remifentanil (Cp = 2, 4 and 8 ng/ml in group Ⅱ-Ⅳ respectively) and propofol TCI (the initial Cp of propofol was 2 μg/ml in the 4 groups). Then the Cp of propofol increased by 0.5 μg/ml every 1 min until BIS value decreased to 50. BIS value and the Cp of propofol were recorded as the patient lost consciousness.The Cp and consumption of propofol were recorded when BIS value decreased to 50. Results BIS value was significantly increased, while the Cp of propofol was significantly decreased as the patient lost consciousness, and the Cp and consumption of propofol were significantly decreased when BIS value decreased to 50 in group Ⅲ - Ⅳ compared with group Ⅰ (P ＜ 0.05). Conclusion Remifentanil 4 ng/ml is the suitable Cp for anesthesia when combined with propofol.

Objective To evaluate left atrial function dynamic changes before and after radiofrequency catheter ablation (CA)with persistent atrial fibrillation (AF)and predict the maintain sinus rhythm of postoperative atrial fibrillation by speckle tracking imaging.Methods The study was including 45 cases underwent CA with persistent AF(preoperative 1 week,postoperative 24 hours,3 months,6 months)and 25 normal cases.Left atrial function and strain rate were analysed.These index were measured and calculated:the left atrial diameter index (LADI),left atrial area index (LAAI),left atrial maximum volume index (LAVImax)and left atrial ejection fraction(LAEF),left atrial wall strain rate of left ventricular systolie (SRs),left atrial wall strain rate of left ventricular early diastolie (SRe),left atrial systolic strain rate(SRa) and the average of left atrial wall each phase strain rate.Results ① LADI,LAAI,LAVImax were significantly increased;LAEF,SRs,SRe were decreased significantly;SRa were disappeared with AF compared with the control group.②LADI,LAAI,LAVImax decreased gradually,LAEF,SRs,SRe,SRa were gradually increased with the extension of the follow-up time.③Left atrial average SRs predicted maintenance of sinus rhythm with atrial fibrillation after operation of CA(odds ratio=0.607,95% CI=0.417-0.819,correction of P =0.017)was an independent predictor.Conclusions Speckle tracking imaging can quantitative evaluate left atrial function with persistent AF after CA.Left atrial global reservoir function predicts the efficacy of CA.

ObjectiveTo investigate the expression characteristics of Caspase-8 in gastric carcinoma tissues and its correlation with clinical pathological features.Methods The mRNA and protein of Caspase-8 in gastric carcinoma and its surrounding tissues were detected by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and immunohistochemistry,respectively.ResultsThe Caspase-8 mRNA in gastric carcinoma tissues was obviously lower than that in its surrounding ones (0.154±0.065 vs 0.394±0.107,t =14.04,P ＜0.01),which was correlated with lymph node metastasis,tumor stage,differentiation grade (P＜0.01).The Caspase-8 protein in gastric carcinoma tissues was also significantly lower than that in its surrounding ones (31.48％ vs 85.19％,x2 =32.04,P ＜ 0.01),which was correlated with tumor stage,differentiation grade (P＜0.05).ConclusionsCaspase-8 is low-expressed in gastric carcinoma,which may play an important role in the occurrence and progression of gastric carcinoma.
