ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the effect of modified Tongyou decoction combined with FOLFOX4 chemotherapy on pre-thrombus state and curative effect of patients with advanced prostatic cancer.Methods 142 patients with advanced prostatic cancer were collected,all patients were randomly divided into study group and control group,71 cases in each group.The control group was given FOLFOX4 chemotherapy and the study group was given modified Tongyou decoction on the baseis of the control group.After treatment,the serum levels of homocysteine(Hcy),D-two dimer(D-D),fibrinogen(FIB),the level of hemorrheology,clinical effect,the incidence of venous thrombosis in one years,the six month survival rate,the one year survival rate were detected in all patients.Resutls After treatment,compared with control group,the serum levels of Hcy,D-D,FIB,the whole blood high,middle and low-shear viscosities,plasma viscosity and the incidence of venous thrombosis in one years were higher in the study group and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05);the erythrocyte deformability index,effective rate and one year survival rate were higher were higher in the study group and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion The modified Tongyou decoction combined with FOLFOX4 chemotherapy in treatment of patients with advanced prostatic cancer can improve the prethrombotic state,improve the therapeutic effect,reduce the incidence of venous thrombosis and increase the one year survival rate,and have a guiding significance for clinic.
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:Studies have shown that stem cels transfected with human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) gene can stably express high-level telomerase activity and strengthen cel proliferation, which lays the foundation to establish geneticaly engineered immortalized stem cel lines. OBJECTIVE:To explore the effects of hTERT transfection on proliferation and cel cycle of rat fetal liver stem cels in vitro. METHODS:Rat fetal liver stem cels culturedin vitro were transfected by recombinant adeno-associated virus carrying hTERT genes. RT-PCR and western blot assay were used to detect the expression of hTERT mRNA and protein, respectively. Cel Counting Kit-8 method and cel growth curve were used to detect cel growth and proliferation. Changes in cel cycle distribution were determined by flow cytometry. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the control group and empty virus group, in the hTERT infection group, hTERT expressed at gene and protein levels, the growth rate of the cels increased, and the number of cels at G0/G1 phase and S phase was decreased and increased, respectively. The results show that recombinant adeno-associated virus as a vector of hTERT gene used for gene transfection can promote the in vitro proliferation of rat fetal liver stem cels and play an optimal role in cel culture.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the clinical application of superselective renal artery embolization in the treatment of iatrogenic renal hemorrhage. Methods The iatrogenic renal hemorrhage in fifteen patients was first demonstrated by renal arterigraphy to diagnose the rupture site and degree of injury. And then they were treated by percutaneous catheterized superselective renal arterial embolization through guidance of guide wire. Results In all 15 patients, the occlusive ruption of bleeding arteries and disappearance of extravasation staining were found after the superselective catheterized renal arterial embolization. Clinically, the bloody urine turned clear without macroscopic hematuria during 1-3 days in all patients after the procedure. Conclusions Superseclective renal arterial embolization treatment signified a less invasion, less complications, good hemostatic efficacy, and maximal preservation of renal tissue and function for iatrogenic renal hemorrhage. The treatment is worthy to be recommended.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the efficacy and safety of transurethral plasmakinetic resection of prostate (PKRP) in treatment of benign prostate hyperplasia in elderly patients aged 80 years and over. Methods Retrospective clinical analysis of 180 case of high risk of benign prostate hyperplasia treated by PKRP in patients aged 80 years and over. Results All the 180 patients underwent the operation successfully. The average time for operation was (45.5±23.3) min and the resected prostate was in an average of (60.3±23.3) g. Neither of blood transfusion during the operation nor aductor reflex and transurethral resection syndrome occurred. International prostate symptom score,residual urine and quality of life decreased from (29.5±5.3) to (10.2±2.8),from (130.5±45.5) ml to (13.5±7.1)ml and from (7.2±1.1) to (1.0±0.5) respectively. The maximum flow rate elevated from (6.2±1.8) ml/s to (24.5±3.1) ml/s. The differences in the above indicators were statistically significant between pre- and post- operation (P＜0.05). Conclusions Transurethral plasmakinetic prostatectomy is a reliable and effective surgical method, especially for the aged patients with benign prostate hyperplasia.
ABSTRACT
Objective To report the modified surgical technique currently used for the construction of an orthotopic ileal neobladder.So as to improve the vesical function of urinary storage and urination after total cystectomy. Methods Radical cystectomy and ileal neobladder with double “U” shape were performed in 20 patients with transitional cell carcinoma. After the detubularized ileal segment approximately 40 cm in length was arranged in a U configuration,the two medial borders of the U-shaped open segment were oversewn with a single layer seromuscular continuous 2-0 polyglycolic acid suture.The bottom of the U was folded over between the two ends of the U.Thus a spherical pouch, the neobladder, was fashioned. During that period, the neobladder anastomosed to the urethra.The ureters were implanted according to the improved stitching method. Results The operative time to form a neobladder was (90?15)min.Follow-up turned out that no perioperative or early postoperative mortality was observed, and no severe early complications occurred. The mean postoperative follow-up time was 25 (range,6 to 48) months.All the 20 cases achieved excellent continence except for 6 cases with temporary incontinence at night.Dysuria occurred in 1 case,and hydronephrosis on the left was found in 1 case.Six months later, the mean bladder capacity was 340 ml (range,250 to 450 ml). Conclusions The construction of an ileal neobladder using a smaller part of ileum that has been completely detubularized and fashioned by double U shape is easy and agreeable to perform.This mode of operation has low complication rates, achieves adequate capacity at low pressure, and provides satisfactory continence rates.
