ABSTRACT
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common, recurrent infections that can range from mild to life-threatening. High recurrence rates of UTIs and increasing antimicrobial resistance may place a greater financial burden on the patients with UTIs. Thus, UTIs is becoming an increasingly serious public health problem. This review summarized how pathogens adhered to and colonized host cells, the important role of bacterial pili in the development of UTIs and the pathogenic mechanisms of different pathogens in UTIs and catheter associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs). Elucidating the molecular mechanisms of host-pathogen interactions and the pathophysiological consequences of these interactions in UTIs is conducive to further understand the pathogenesis of UTIs.
ABSTRACT
Objective To report therapeutic effects of patients with bladder cancer treated by intra-operative radiation and to recommend an effective method for the treatment of bladder cancer.Methods During the operation,when the tumor of bladder had been removed,a boost dose of electric beam from a linear accelerator was irridiated to the tumor bed.28 cases were follawed-up in a long period.Results Lower local recurrence was observed in patients received intra-operative radiation therapy,only 2 cases had a small recurrent tumor in the bladder during the follow-up period.26 cases had bean followed up,no tumor recurred.Conclusion The intraoperative radiation therapy is a useful treatment for the bladder cancer.
