ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To observe the clinical efficacy on senile female bladder neck obstruction treated with acupoint application, therapy and western medication.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Fifty cases of senile female bladder neck observation were randomized into an obstrvation group and a control group, 25 cases in each one. Tamsulosin hydrochloride capsules were taken orally in the two groups, 0.2 mg every night, continuously for 100 days. In the observation group, with radix aconiti lateralis preparata, semen brassicae and fructus ligustri lucidi contained, bushentongyu plaster was used at Shenque (CV 8), Sanyinjiao (SP 6), Pangguangshu (BL 28), Zhongji (CV 3) and Sanjiaoshu (BL 22), once every two days. Eight treatments made one session and 6 sessions were required totally. The international prostate symptom score (IPSS), the bother score (BS), the residual volume (RV) and the maximal urinary flow rate (MFR) were observed before and after treatment in the two groups. The clinical efficacy was compared between the two groups.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Every score in IPSS after treatment was reduced apparently as compared with that before treatment in the two groups (all P < 0.01). The improvements in feeling of incomplete, bladder emptying, intermittency < 2 h, urgency, interupted urination and nocturia in the observation group were more advantageous than those in the control group (all P < 0.05). The total effective rate was 95.65% (22/23) in the observation group, higher than 85.71% (18/21) in the control group (P < 0.05). After treatment, RV, MFR and BS were significantly different as compared with those before treatment (all P < 0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The combined therapy of acupoint application of bushentongyu plaster and oral administration of tamsulosin hydrochloride capsules achieves the significant efficacy on senile female bladder neck obstruction as compared with the simple administration of tamsulosin hydrochloride capsules.</p>

BACKGROUND: Osteolysis has always occurred in pelvis. Percutaneous injection of bone cement stabilized bone fracture, relieved pain or even treated tumor. However, leakage of bone cement might cause severe complications. OBJECTIVE: To explore the therapeutic effect of peroutaneous injection of bone cement on treating osteolysis pelvic disease in 9 cases by the CT guidance. METHODS: By the CT guidance, needing degree was determined firstly. Focal size and scanning layers were used to calculate focal volume and estimate injected dose of bone cement. Three-dimensional targeting device was used to introduce the puncturation. The bone cement which was 0.2-0.5 mL less than the calculated volume was injected into osteolysis site. The accuracy, injected dose, clinical efficacy, and complications were investigated. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The following-up ranged from 5 months to 4 years, with mean duration of 1.5 years. At 1-48 hours after operation, symptoms were recovered, including complete recovery (n=6), partial recovery (n=2), and light recovery (n=1). Leakage of bone cement was not detected out around focal region. This suggested that percutaneous injection of bone cement into the erosion site is an effective method to treat pelvic osteolysis disease, characterizing by security, effective, and less invasive.
ABSTRACT
[Objective]To determine the efficacy and characteristics of percutaneous vertebroplasty in treating patients with vertebral osteoporosis fractures combined with intraosseous cyst.[Method]Thirteen cases of vertebral osteoporosis fractures combined with intraosseous cyst were performed with percutaneous vertebroplasty.Bone cement containing appropriate proportion allograft bone powder were injected to vertebral body according to the sererity of osteoporosis and the size of intraosseous cyst.[Result]According to standard of World Health Organization about pain,complete pain relief was in 10,partial in 2,and slight in 1 patient.One case developed bone cement leakage into the paravertebral soft tissues during operation,but there were no clinical signs and symptoms.The next vertebral body fracture was found at sixteen days after percutaneous vertebroplasty in 1 case,and percutaneous vertebroplasty was repeated to relieve his pain.This patient was followed-up for 1 year,and no refracture was observed.[Conclusion]Vertebral osteoporosis fractures combined with intraosseous cyst is a special disease in elderly population.Percutaneous vertebroplasty is effective and it shouled be the first option for treatment of patients with vertebral osteoporosis fractures combined with intraosseous cyst.The complications could be reduced by local treatment combined with anti-osteoporosis drugs and correct rehabilitation.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE To analyze the prevalence of pathogen infection and the drug sensitivity of pathogen after liver transplantation so as to provide the reference to the effective clinical prevention and control of pathogen infection and drug resistant strains.METHODS A retrospective survey in 155 patients who underwent 158 orthotopic liver transplantation was carried out.RESULTS The incidence of pathogen infection after liver transplantation was 25.9%,the major pathogens were coagulase-negative Staphylococcus,then Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter.CONCLUSIONS It is very important to prevent pathogen infection and use antibiotic reasonably.Selection of effective antibiotics referring to the etiologic data and resistance of pathogen can help to prevent the drug resistant strains.
