ABSTRACT
The clinical data of 32 patients with pyelogenic cyst were reviewed retrospectively. The diagnosis of 25 cases was confirmed by intravenous pyelography (IVP) , in which the ultrasonography and computed tomography ( CT) failed to provide accurate diagnosis. Eighteen cases were treated by surgical operations, among them 16 cases were cured, one case lost follow-up, and one case recurred in 6 months after surgery. The data indicate that the diagnosis of pyelogenic cyst mainly depends on IVP examination and the laparoscopic technique can be effectively applied for treatment of pyelogenic cyst.
ABSTRACT
The clinical data of 16 patients with rupture of corpus cavernosum penis were retrospectively reviewed.The patients were referred to the Department of Urology from January 2005 to November 2009.The causes of penile injury were trauma due to sexual intercourse ( 12 cases), trauma due to masturbatory (2 cases), traffic accidents ( 1 case) and others ( l case).All patients received immediate surgical treatment; 14 out of 16 patients were followed up for a mean period of 3 months.Sexual function was recovered with satisfactory erection in 11 patients, 3 patients complained pain or uncomfortab]eness during erection.Sexual trauma was the main cause of penile fracture.Immediate intervention for penile fracture can achieve satisfactory early and late results.

ABSTRACT
The aim of this study was to investigate the expression of basic fibroblast growth factor (b FGF) and its relationship with tumor microvasogenesis and biological behavior of human renal carcinoma. Gene expression of b FGF was assayed in 20 cases of renal carcinoma tissue using RNA dot blot hybridization. Meanwhile, the protein expression of b FGF and microvasular density (MVD) was assayed in 35 cases of renal carcinoma tissue with immunohistochemical assay. It was found that the expression of b FGF was significantly higher in renal cancer tissue than in normal renal tissue or normal tissue adjacent to the tumor, There was significant correlation between b FGF expression in cancer tissue and clinical stages as well as clinical grades.Similar results were also observed between MVD and b FGF expression in renal cancer tissue. It seemed that b FGF played an important role in angiogenesis in renal carcinoma. Taken together, the results suggest that MVD and the expression of b FGF in renal cancer tissue might be related to the prognosis of renal carcinoma patients.
