Objective:To investigate the effect of different surgical timing on the surgical treatment of renal angiomyolipoma(RAML)with rupture and hemorrhage.Methods:The demographic data and peri-operative data of 31 patients with rupture and hemorrhage of RAML admitted to our medical center from June 2013 to February 2023 were collected.The surgery within 7 days after hemorrhage was defined as a short-term surgery group,the surgery between 7 days and 6 months after hemorrhage was defined as a me-dium-term surgery group,and the surgery beyond 6 months after hemorrhage was defined as a long-term surgery group.The perioperative related indicators among the three groups were compared.Results:This study collected 31 patients who underwent surgical treatment for RAML rupture and hemorrhage,of whom 13 were males and 18 were females,with an average age of(46.2±11.3)years.The short-term surgery group included 7 patients,the medium-term surgery group included 12 patients and the long-term surgery group included 12 patients.In terms of tumor diameter,the patients in the long-term surgery group were significantly lower than those in the recent surgery group[(6.6±2.4)cmvs.(10.0±3.0)cm,P=0.039].In terms of operation time,the long-term surgery group was significantly shorter than the mid-term surgery group[(157.5±56.8)min vs.(254.8±80.1)min,P=0.006],and there was no sig-nificant difference between other groups.In terms of estimated blood loss during surgery,the long-term surgery group was significantly lower than the mid-term surgery group[35(10,100)mL vs.650(300,1 200)mL,P＜0.001],and there was no significant difference between other groups.In terms of intraoperative blood transfusion,the long-term surgery group was significantly lower than the mid-term surgery group[0(0,0)mL vs.200(0,700)mL,P=0.014],and there was no significant difference between other groups.In terms of postoperative hospitalization days,the long-term surgery group was sig-nificantly lower than the mid-term surgery group[5(4,7)d vs.7(6,10)d,P=0.011],and there was no significant difference between other groups.Conclusion:We believe that for patients with RAML rupture and hemorrhage,reoperation for more than 6 months is a relatively safe time range,with minimal intraoperative bleeding.Therefore,it is more recommended to undergo surgical treatment after the hema-toma is systematized through conservative treatment.

Bartter syndrome (BS, OMIM #601678) is a rare inherited salt-losing tubulopathy characterized by hypokalemia metabolic alkalosis with secondary renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system activation. As reported, BS type 1 is generally presented prenatal and neonatal period, and symptoms usually appear before and after birth or in infancy, accompanied by severe salt loss, whilst kidney function remains mostly normal. In this study, we report a case of BS type 1 with childhood onset and proteinuria and renal impairment. The child was born preterm due to hyperamniotic fluid, but there were no apparent symptoms after birth until the age of 3 when the child began to present with polydipsia, polyuria and increased nocturnal uria. At the age of 5, she had elevated serum creatinine level and proteinuria. After admission, she was diagnosed with chronic tubulointerstitial disease and stage 2 chronic kidney disease(CKD). According to the chloride clearance test, the abnormal function of medullary thick ascending limb Henle′s loop, was confirmed and BS type 1 was diagnosed by gene sequencing. After active management of complications, kidney function of the child improved. In the long-term follow-up, the urinary protein amount of the child still increased, eGFR slowly decreased, and the child was currently in the CKD2 stage. Children with prenatal BS may not present typical clinical manifestations immediately after birth until the onset of relevant clinical symptoms in childhood. BS type 1 patients may have renal impairment, which needs to be identified in time. Clinical differentiation diagnosis between BS and Gitelman syndrome can be made by chloride clearance tests. Early diagnosis and treatment are critical to improve prognosis.

Purpose: Pancreatic duct decompression relieves pancreatic duct stone (PDS)-associated abdominal pain, though a consensus indication for the drainage procedure of the main pancreatic duct (MPD) is lacking. Moreover, major prognostic factors for postsurgical long-term pain relief and recurrence are largely unknown. Methods: The clinical outcomes of 65 consecutive PDS patients undergoing surgery from 2008–2012 with 3+ years of follow-up were assessed. Results: At postsurgical follow-up (median, 4.5 years; range, 3–7 years; procedure: Partington, n = 32; Frey, n = 27; pancreatoduodenectomy, n = 3; distal pancreatectomy, n = 3), the early complication and complete stone clearance rates were 29.2% and 97%, respectively. Long-term, complete and partial pain relief were 93.9%, 83.1%, and 10.8%, respectively. The risk of pancreatic fistula was higher in the <8 mm group than in the >8 mm group (P < 0.05), and 80% of the pancreatic fistula cases occurred in the <8 mm group. A shorter pain duration (P = 0.007), smaller MPD diameter (P = 0.04), and lower Izbicki pain score (P < 0.001) predicted long-term pain relief. Pain recurrence after initial remission occurred in 5 patients and was only related to pain duration (P = 0.02). Stone recurrence and pancreatic exocrine functional and endocrine functional deterioration occurred in 2, 5, and 11 patients, respectively. Conclusion Surgery provides excellent stone clearance, long-term pain relief, and acceptable postoperative morbidity. Using 8 mm as the criterion for drainage surgery can minimize the postoperative pancreatic fistula risk. Individualized and timely surgical treatment may improve the effect of surgery.

Objective:To explore the current situation of unmet needs and family environment among gynecology malignant tumor patients and to explore the correlations between them.Methods:From March 2018 to March 2019, this study selected 222 gynecology malignant tumor patients at three Class Ⅲ Grade A hospitals in Hainan Province with the cross-sectional investigation as subjects by convenience sampling. All patients were investigated with the General Information Scale, the Chinese version of Short-Form Survivor Unmet Needs Survey (SF-SUNS) and the Chinese version of Family Environment Scale (FES-CV) . A total of 222 questionnaires were sent out and 216 valid questionnaires were collected with 97.30% for the recovery rate.Results:Among 216 gynecology malignant tumor patients, the total scores of the Chinese version of SF-SUNS and the FES-CV were (73.79±13.82) and (49.12±8.14) respectively.Single factor analysis showed that there were statistical differences in the scores of the Chinese version of SF-SUNS among gynecology malignant tumor patients with different ages, family monthly incomes, education levels and clinical stages of International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics. Correlation analysis showed that the total score of FES-CV and scores of the cohesion, expressiveness, independence, knowledge, entertaining and organization dimension were negatively correlated with the dimensions of the Chinese version of SF-SUNS with statistical differences ( P<0.05) . The conflict dimension was positively correlated with the Chinese version of SF-SUNS with statistical differences ( P<0.05) . Hierarchical regression analysis showed that the main influencing factor of unmet needs of gynecology malignant tumor patients was family environment after controlling demographic variables. Conclusions:Unmet needs of gynecology malignant tumor patients are in the intermediate level. Family environment has close correlation with the unmet needs of gynecology malignant tumor patients. Medical staff and their family members should meet needs of patients by improving the family environment so as to improve their quality of life.

Objective To explore the protective roles of Emodin in the intestinal mucosal lay of rats with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) and its mechanism. Methods SD rats (n=30) were divided into 3 groups: sham operation group, SAP group and Emodin group (SAP rats treated with Emodin). The SAP rat models were established via retrograde injection of 3%sodium taurocholate to pancreatic duct. Rats in Emodin group were peritoneally injected with Emodin (2.5 mg/100 g) at both 1 hour and 3 hour after sodium taurocholate injection. Apoptosis of intestinal epithelial cell was detected by TUNEL analy?sis. The expression of glucose-regulated protein78 (GRP78) protein was assessed by immunohistochemistry. Results Com?pared with sham operation group, apoptosis in intestinal epithelial cells and the expression of GRP78 protein were increased significantly in SAP group(P<0.05). Emodin treatment reduced AP-induced mucosal intestinal epithelial cell apoptosis (P<0.05). But there is no significant difference of GRP78 expression between SAP group and Emodin group(P>0.05). Conclusion Emodin has a protective effect on intestinal layer in rats with SAP through inhibiting intestinal epithelial cell apoptosis. However, ER stress is not likely to be involved in this protective effect.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the clinical characteristics and cognitive dysfunction of bipolar depression and unipolar depression. METHODS: Fifty patients with unipolar depression, 48 bipolar depression, and 50 normal controls were assessed with Hamilton Depression Scale, Hamilton Anxiety Scale, Life Events Scale, and The Wisconsin Card Sorting Test. General demographic data, clinical data, and the scores of recognitive function in the 3 groups were compared. RESULTS: The patients with bipolar depression occured at young age and had obvious family history compared with those with unipolar depression. The patients with bipolar or unipolar disorders had lower scores in most neuropsychological tests than those in the control group (P<0.05). The patients with bipolar depression in understanding memory and Wisconsin card sorting test were worse than those with unipolar depression (P<0.05). CONCLUSION There is cognitive dysfunction in patients with bipolar or unipolar disorder. Understanding memory and executive function damage may be cognitive features in bipolar disorder.

Objectives To explore the brain white matter integrity among the patients with buprenorphine tables,scopolamine and promethazine solution(BSP) dependence after abstinence.Methods BSP-dependent patients( n=16)and age/eduction-matched healthy control subjects ( n=18) were assessed by diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) after 3 days,1 month and 2 months of abstinence.White matter (WM) integrity was measured with DTI as fractional anisotropy ( FA),an index of intravoxel orientational coherence of white matter fibers.Results Compared with health controls,FA values were significantly lower in frontal,parietal,temporal and corpus callosum in the BSP addicts after 3-day withdrawal (P＜0.001,uncorrected).Increased FA values in left superior frontal cortex,right medial frontal gyms and fight inferior parietal gyrus were found in BSP users after 2 months of abstinence (P ＜0.001,uncorrected).However,no significant difference was found between these BSP addicts after 1-month abstince.Compared with health controls,BSP dependent subjects still exhibited significantly lower FA in the corpus callosum,frontal,parietal and temporal WM after 2-month withdrawal (P ＜ 0.001,uncorrected ).Conclusion The abnormalities showed less recovery in BSP dependent individuals with abstinence in white matter that suggests that rehabilitation time should be further prolonged for BSP addicts and emphasis cognitive-behavioral therapy to assist BSP abusers rebuild social functions.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the long-term effect and security of refractory schizophrenia with brain stereotaxis multi-target therapy technique. METHODS: A total of 87 patients with refractory schizophrenia were treated with brain stereotaxis multi-target therapy and were followed up over 2 years. The scores of Clinical Global Impression, Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale, Positive and Negative Symptom Scale, Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale, Wechsler Memory Scale, Actives of Daily Living, and Social Disability Screening Schedule were compared before and after the operation. RESULTS: Of the 87 patients, 40 obviously improved, 24 improved, 12 improved little, 7 did not change. None grew worse, 1 died, and 3 shed. There was a significant difference in the scales before and after the operation (P<0.01). No severe complications and sequelae occurred. CONCLUSION Stereotaxic multi-target therapy is effective and safe for refractory schizophrenia. After the operation, drug therapy should be maintained and recovery of social function is helpful.
