ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the clinical application of non - invasive sonography in the determination of detrusor thickness in bladder outlet obstruction. Methods Admitted from January 2012 to January 2014, 116 pa?tients with bladder outlet obstruction were selected as observed group, while another 88 patients without bladder outlet obstruction at the same period were selected as control group. The detrusor thickness determined by sonography in the two groups was comparatively analyzed. Results There were significant differences between the two groups in DWT, residual urine volume, urine output, Qmax, PdetQmax and Pdetmax and other indicators (p <0.05). Conclusion Ultrasonic determination of anterior bladder detrusor thickness is reliable to diagnose bladder outlet obstruction, with a high clinical promotional and diagnosis value.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the relationship between bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) levels of interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8 and child bacterial pneumonia. Methods BALF levels of IL-6, IL-8 were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in 26 patients with bacterial pneumonia and 14 controls. Neutrophils and alveolar macrophages (AMs) of BALF were examined. Results BALF levels of IL-6, IL-8, total cell count and neutrophils of child bacterial pneumonia before treatment were significantly higher than those of pneumonia after treatment and controls (P<0.01). BALF levels of IL-6, IL-8 were significantly higher in Gram-negative infection than those in Gram-positive infection (P<0.01). BALF level of IL-6 showed positive correlation with AMs in pneumonia (r=0.7615, P<0.01). BALF level of IL-8 was correlated positively with neutrophils and AMs respectively in pneumonia (r=0.8956, r=0.6018, P<0.01). Conclusions IL-6 and IL-8 play the roles in the development of airway inflammation in child bacterial pneumonia. Detection of BALF levels of IL-6 and IL-8 is valuable to predict the state of child bacterial pneumonia.
