ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the safety and efficacy of wide local excision surgery combined with 5-aminolaevulinic acid(ALA)-photodynamic therapy(PDT)in treating Paget's disease of the scrotum in elderly people.Methods Patients with an average age of 68.4 ± 4.7 years undergoing wide local excision surgery combined with ALA-PDT for Paget's disease of the scrotum from June 2014 to February 2018 were followed up.All patients underwent wide local excision surgical treatment first and were then enrolled in ALA-PDT study after the diagnosis of Paget's disease of the scrotum was confirmed.Four cases were eliminated as a result of two patients refusing photodynamictherapy for various reasons and two patients lost during follow-up after ALA-PDT.A total of 16 patients were included in the study,of whom 6 cases were in Ray stage A1,7 cases in stage A2 and 3 cases in stage B.Patients underwent 3 courses of ALA-PDT after operation.Then the efficacy,shortand medium-term complications were followed up.Results The duration of disease among the 16 patients ranged from 4 to 76 months before diagnosis,with an average of 35.7 months.Surgery was performed immediately after diagnosis.Ten patients underwent resection and suture and 6 patients were treated with skin flap transfers.Of the patients treated with surgery,3 patients received suspicious lymph node dissection and 1 patient underwent reoperation due to skin flap necrosis.Patients were followed up for 3 months to 3 years and 6 months after ALA-PDT.Recurrence and distant metastasis occurred in 2 cases,with 1 case of brain metastasis and 1 case of systemic metastasis,and the overall recurrence rate was 12.5％.During the follow-up,there were no other serious complications except for 1 case(6.3 ％)with lower limb movement disorders.Conclusions Wide local excision surgery combined ALA-PDT has good clinical outcomes,low recurrence rates and few complications for the treatment of Paget's disease of the scrotum in elderly people.
ABSTRACT
Objective To systematically review and evaluate the perioperative indicators and surgical curative effect of 980 nm diode laser vaporization of prostate and transurethral resesction of prostate (TURP) in treating benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Methods Retrieved published comparative studies 980 nm diode laser vaporization of prostate versus transurethral resesction of prostate in treating benign prostatic hyperplasia, and pooled the data from eligible studies. The statistical analysis was performed using Revman 5.3 software. Results Six trials including 839 patients were eligible to the criteria (450 in 980 nm diode laser group and 389 in TURP group). The baseline of patients characteristics were comparable in all the studies. Meta analysis showed that: the operative time was not significantly different between the 980 nm diode laser group and TURP group [SMD = 0.11, 95 ~ CI (-0.52,0.74), P > 0.05]; Compared with TURP group, 980 nm diode laser group has shorter hospital stays [SMD = -1.95, 95%CI (-3.42, -0.48), P 0.05], QOL [SMD = 0.00, 95%CI (-0.57, 0.57), P > 0.05] and Qmax [SMD = 0.06, 95%CI (-0.26, 0.37), P > 0.05]. Conclusion 980 nm diode laser vaporization of prostate is safe and effective in treating benign prostatic hyperplasia, and compared with TURP, it has advantages in shorter hospital stays and shorter catheterization time.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of retroperitoneal laparoscopy and open surgical treatment of simple renal cyst by Meta analysis.Methods Computer retrieval of MED-LINE,Cochrane Library,EMBASE,CNKI,Wanfang and VIP databases,according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria collected and screened out a randomized controlled studies on the treatment of simple renal cysts,published from January 1,2000 to August 31,2015.Two independent authors screened out randomized clinical trials (RCTs),extracted data,assessed quality of data,and then carried out Meta analysis by Revman 5.0 software with related data.Results Twenty one studies met the inclusion criteria with a total of 2 296 patients,including 1 162 patients of retroperitoneal laparoscopy and 1 134 cases of open operation group.Compared to the open operation group,retroperitoneal laparoscopy showed shorter operation time,less bleeding,shorter hospitalization time,and earlier postoperative drainage tube extraction time.No significant difference was found in the recurrence rate of the cyst for two groups.Conclusions The clinical efficacy,safety,and complication of retroperitoneal laparoscopy in the treatment of simple renal cyst is better than the open operation.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#To detect the levels of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), cystatin C (Cys-C ) in blood and the level of kidney injury molecule 1 (KIM-1) in urine in elderly patients with renal calculi at diff erent times, and to explore the eff ect of percutaneous nephrostolithotomy (PCNL) combined with flexible ureteroscopy (FU) on early postoperative renal function.@*METHODS@#A total of 46 patients with renal calculi were selected, and their blood or urine specimens were collected respectively at preoperative and postoperative 2, 12, 24, 48, and 72 h. The concentrations of NGAL, Cys-C, KIM-1 were detected.@*RESULTS@#The levels of NGAL and Cys-C began to increase respectively at postoperative 2 and 12 h, and reached peak at postoperative 12 to 24 h. There was significant difference in the levels of NGAL and Cys-C between the postoperative 12 and 2 h or between postoperative 48 and 24 h (all P<0.05). The levels of NGAL and Cys-C began to decline and eventually returned to preoperative levels respectively at postoperative 48 and postoperative 72 h. The KIM-1 began to increase at postoperative 2 h and peaked at postoperative 24 h, which was significant difference between the postoperative 24 and 12 h or postoperative 48 and 24 h (both P<0.05). The level of KIM-1 began to decline and eventually returned to preoperative levels at postoperative 48 h.@*CONCLUSION@#After the combined treatment of percutaneous nephrostolithotomy with flexible ureteroscopy, the concentrations of NGAL, Cys-C and KIM-1 are significantly increased, suggesting injuries on renal function. The time of renal tubular injury and recovery is earlier than that of renal glomerulus.
