Objective To report the experiences on the diagnosis and treatment of duplication of kidney ureter and bladder. Methods Nine cases of duplication of kidney ureter and bladder from 1996 to 2008 were reviewed.Six cases of duplicated kidney ureter occurred in the left side and 2 cases in the right side,1 case bilateral kidney ureteral duplication.Of 8 cases with unilateral duplicated,duplicated bladders were incompleteness.And the patient with bilateral duplicated,whose duplicated bladder was completeness,was diagnosed with duplication of urethra,uterine,bilateral ovary and oviduet tubes,and also suffered from duplicated uterine prolapse Ⅱ,vaginal anterior wall bulging and duplicated vesicocele.There were two cases whose duplicated kidney losed function because of severe hydronephrosis,and 7 cases existed kidney secretion function. Excision of duplicated kidney ureter and bladder were performed on 2 cases with non-functional duplicated kidney.6 cases had undergone duplicated bladder excision and duplicated ureteral bladder replantation.The special case had undergone duplicated urinary bladder urethra uterine and bilateral annexes excision,and duplicated ureteral bladder replantation. Results The operation was successful in all paients without leakage and ureter stump syndrome.Three months after operation,ureter bladder imaging showed no ureteral reflux in 7 cases of ureteral bladder replantation.IVU were reviewed 12 months after operation:2 cases undergoing duplicated kidney excision showed that the function of residual kidney were normal,7 cases of replantation that the shape and function of sick side kidney and duplicated kidney were good. The patient who suffered from duplicated uterine simultaneously got pregnancy 1.5 years after operation. Conclsions Image examinations may help to diagnose the duplication of kidney ureter and bladder. The main treatment is surgery. Understanding the function of duplicated kidney and the shape of kidney ureter and bladder should be considered before operation. The goal of surgery should be relieving pain,protecting the function of duplicated kidney and minimizing the risk of infection.

A new triterpenoid saponin and fourteen known triterpenoids were isolated from the methanol extract of the stems and leaves of Callicarpa integerrima Champ, which is used in Chinese folk medicine for stopping bleeding, expelling the wind, dissipating stagnation, and treating scrofula, by using various chromatographies, such as silica gel, Sephadex LH-20 and RP-C18 column chromatography. Their structures were identified as a new compound 2alpha, 3beta, 19alpha, 23-tetrahydroxy-olean-12-en-28-oic acid-28-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1 --> 4)-beta-D-glucopyranoside (1), together with fourteen known compounds: oleanolic acid (2), 3-acetyl oleanolic acid (3), 3beta-O-acetyl ursolic acid (4), 2alpha-hydroxy-ursolic acid (5), 2alpha, 3beta, 19alpha, 23-tetrahydroxy-urs-12-en-28-oic acid (6), alpha-amyrin-3-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (7), pomolic acid (8), betulinic acid (9), ursolic acid (10), 2alpha, 3beta, 19alpha, 23-tetrahydroxy-olean-12-en-28-oic acid (arjungenin) (11), 2alpha-hydroxy-oleanolic acid (12), hederagenin (13), 2alpha, 19alpha-dihydroxy-ursolic acid (14) and pruvuloside A (15), by the spectroscopic techniques of NMR, HMBC, IR and MS, separately. All these compounds were obtained from this plant for the first time, and compounds 3, 4 and 15 were isolated from genus Callicarpa L. for the first time.

Objective To investigate the status of the establishment and service of the rehabilitation departments in comprehensive hospitals in China mainland.Methods A questionnaire survey was conducted in 240 comprehensive hospitals with different grades distributed in the capital city of 31 provinces, autonomous regions, and municipality cities in China mainland in a stratified sampling way. The contents investigated are the settings of rehabilitation departments, the performances of the rehabilitation services, the staffing of the rehabilitation workers and the problems faced in rehabilitation. Then, statistical analysis were done between the developed eastern regions and economically less developed middle-western regions, as well as different grades of comprehensive hospitals. Results In total, 216 valid questionnaires were collected (72 tertiary hospitals, 72 secondary hospitals and 72 primary hospitals), and there are no statistically difference between eastern regions and middle-western regions(P=0.61). About 69% of the hospitals surveyed have built up the rehabilitation departments, and there are no statistically difference between different regions (P=0.30). As far as the performance of the rehabilitation services are concerned, 97.2% of them have carried out rehabilitation service, 60% of them can satisfy the demands of the patients, and there are no difference between the different grades and between the eastern and middle-western regions(P>0.05). In addition, 76.4% of them have rehabilitation doctors, 68.4% have physiotherapists(PT), 52.3% have traditional Chinese medicine doctors, 50.5% have occupational therapists(OT), 36.9% have speech therapists(ST), 17.8% have psychologists, and only 2.3% have social workers. The staff status on PT, OT and ST of the hospitals in eastern regions are significantly better than that in middle-western regions(P<0.01), and the staff status on rehabilitation doctors, PT, OT, ST and psychologists in the tertiary hospitals are significantly better than that in the secondary hospitals and primary hospitals(P<0.01). Finally, the first five problems the rehabilitation department faced are following: short of professional workers(63.9%), lack of training areas(51%), lack of modern rehabilitation service management system (50.5%), out-of-date equipments(49.5%) and low fees of rehabilitation treatment(49.1%). Conclusion Many problems exists in the rehabilitation departments of comprehensive hospitals, such as the development of rehabilitation departments, the professional workers, the quality and width of the service, the efficient use of rehabilitation resources, rehabilitation management and profession permission, the relative policies and regulations, personnel training and so on. Therefore, the government should enhance to put the supported policies into practice, and reinforce investment to the comprehensive hospitals, in particular, enhance the support of the comprehensive hospitals in middle-western regions, as well as the primary hospitals and the secondary hospitals, all of which will play a much more efficient role in rehabilitation for the disabled in the comprehensive hospitals.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the asthma control status of occupational sensitizer-induced asthma(OSIA) and explore the influencing factors. METHODS: A total of 50 OSIA patients were selected as study subjects by judgment sampling method. Asthma Control Test(ACT) and Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire were used to investigate the asthma control status and the quality of life of patients. The fractional exhaled nitric oxide(FeNO) level, pulmonary function, peripheral blood eosinophil ratio(EOS%)and serum total immunoglobulin E(IgE) level of the patients were measured. RESULTS: Among the 50 cases of OSIA patients, 27(54.0%) cases were well controlled, and 23(46.0%) cases were non-fully controlled. The patients with allergic rhinitis, with no inhaled corticosteroids treatment and with poor compliance were risk factors of the non-fully controlled OSIA(all P<0.05). The scores of ACT and the quality of life, and the percentage of the first second forced expiratory volume(FEV_1%) decreased(all P<0.05), while the level of FeNO increased(P<0.05) in the non-fully controlled group compare with the well-controlled group. There was no statistical significance in EOS% and serum total IgE level between the two groups(both P>0.05).CONCLUSION: Allergic rhinitis, lack of inhaled corticosteroids treatment and poor compliance are the influencing factors that affect the control of OSIA. The combinational scores of ACT and quality of life, FeNO, FEV_1% and other indicators can reflect the status of OSIA and assess the level of asthma control, and help guiding OSIA diagnosis and treatment plans.
