ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES@#To evaluate the feasibility and safety of bipolar-plasmakinetic transurethral enucleation and resection of the prostate (B-TUERP) in day surgery.@*METHODS@#From January 2021 to August 2022, 34 patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) underwent B-TUERP in day surgery in the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University. Patients completed the screening and anesthesia evaluation before admission and received the standard surgery which implements "anatomical enucleation of the prostate" and "absolute bleeding control" on the same day of admission, and by the same doctor. Bladder irrigation was stopped, catheter was removed and the discharge evaluation was performed on the first day after operation. The baseline data, perioperative conditions, time of recovery, treatment outcomes, hospitalization costs, and postoperative complications were analyzed.@*RESULTS@#All operations were successfully conducted. The average age of the patients was (62.2±7.8) years, average prostate volume was (50.2±29.3) mL. The average operation time was (36.5±19.1) min, the average hemoglobin and blood sodium were decreased by (16.2±7.1) g/L and (2.2±2.0) mmol/L, respectively. The average postoperative length of hospital stay, and total length of hospital stay were (17.7±2.2) and (20.8±2.1) h, respectively, and the average hospitalization cost was (13 558±2320) CNY. All patients were discharged on the day after surgery except for one patient who was transferred to a general ward. Three patients received indwelling catheterization after catheter removal. The 3-month follow-up results showed a substantial improvement in the International Prostate Symptom Score, quality of life score and maximum urinary flow rate (all P<0.01). Three patients experienced temporary urinary incontinence, 1 patient experienced urinary tract infection, 4 patients were diagnosed with urethral stricture and 2 patients experienced bladder neck contracture. No complications above Clavien grade Ⅱ occurred.@*CONCLUSIONS@#The preliminary results showed that B-TUERP ambulatory surgery is a safe, feasible, economical and effective treatment for appropriately selected patients with BPH.

A total of 4 patients with renal cancer were admitted to our hospital from October 2006 to September 2015 in a familial renal cancer family. Among the 4 patients, 1 patient showed unilateral multiple clear cell carcinoma, 1 patient showed bilateral multiple clear cell carcinoma, and 2 patients showed bilateral multiple chromophobe cell carcinoma. No mutation of VHL or FLCN gene was found in all patients by genetic analysis.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To study the effects of antimicrobial therapy on the maturation and function of dendritic cells(DCs) in the infected microenvironment of rabbit buccal VX-2 squamous cell carcinoma.Methods:The inflammatory models were obtained by mechanical trauma and high sugar diet on the basis of rabbit buccal VX-2 squamous cell carcinoma models which were established by particle implantation of the tumor tissue.The model rabbits were divided into 3 groups (n =6).In group A the rabbits with buccal VX-2 squamous cell carcinoma and local inflammation were given antibiotics by gavage and intramuscular injection for 3 consecutive days;the rabbits in group B with buccal VX-2 squamous cell carcinoma and local inflammation were given normal saline by gavage and intramuscular injection;the rabbits in group C with tumor and without inflammation were given normal saline by gavage and intramuscular injection.The tumor specimens were collected 3 days after treatment,and made into tissue homogenate,supernatant was collected after centrifugation.Normal rabbit peripheral blood mononuclear cells were separated and co-cultured with the supernatant obtained from the 3 groups respectively.Expressions of DCs surface markers HLA-DR,CD83 and CD86 were detected by flow cytometry.the function of DCs was tested by mixed lymphocyte reaction.Results:The positive rate of HLA-DR,CD83,CD86 and stimulate index were group C ＞ group A ＞ group B (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion:Antimicrobial therapy can promote the maturation and function of DCs in the infected microenvironment of rabbit buccal VX-2 squamous cell carcinoma.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the preventive effect of fibroblast growth factor on infection after tooth extraction among type 2 diabetes mellitus patients. Methods 76 patients with infection prevention were treated with basic fibroblast growth factor, and 90 patients in the control group(n= 324). The intervention group was treated with basic fibroblast growth factor and treated with recombinant bovine basic fibroblast growth factor gel. The routine treatment group was treated with routine rinsing liquid for disinfection to prevent infection. Follow-up observation of infection after 1 week. Results In the group of basic fibroblast growth factor, the infectious rate was 2.63%, which was not significantly lower than that of the control group. The level of white blood cells in the group treated with basic fibroblast factor was (6.67±1.08)×109/L, which was significantly lower than that of the control group. The CRP level was (90.33±12.95) mg/L, which was significantly lower than that of the control group Group level (P<0.05). The incidence of fibroblast infection was 2.7% in men and 6.38% in control group. Although there was no significant difference between the two groups, the difference in the total WBC count and CRP level between the two groups was significant different (P<0.05). The group which use of basic fibroblast growth factor, the total white blood cell count and CRP level of the infection prevention intervention group were significantly lower than the control group (P<0.05). Similar results were found in women. Conclusion Fibroblast growth factor can be used to prevent postoperative infection, and achieve satisfactory results.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To study the effect of paclitaxel liposome on the apoptosis of cancer cells in neck metastatic lymph node of rabbit tongue cancer.Methods:24 New Zealand rabbits with VX-2 tumor at tongue edge were divided into 6 groups randomly after neck lymph node metastasis.Paclitaxel liposome,free paclitaxel and 5％ glucose were injected into the lingual arterial and ear marginal vein,respectively.A week after chemotherapy metastasis lymph nodes were collected.The apoptosis of the cancer cells in the lymph nodes was examined by transmission electron microscope,flow cytometry,and SP immunohistochemical method for P53 protein expression of the cancer tissue.Results:The apoptosis rate of cancer cells in the intra-arterial chemotherapy group was higher than that in the intra-venous chemotherapy group,in the paclitaxel liposome injection group was higher than that in the free paclitaxel injection group(P ＜ 0.05).The positive rates of P53 protein expression in paclitaxel liposome group by intra-arterial injection was the lowest (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion:Paclitaxel liposome is more effective than free paclitaxel,regional arterial infusion is more effective than intra-venous infusion in the apoptosis induction of lymph node metastasis cancer cells.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the serum levels of uric acid (UA) in bipolar disorder patients and their clini?cal significance. Methods Serum levels of UA was measured in 126 bipolar disorder patients including 77 mania pa?tients and 49 depression patients, 69 first-episode schizophrenic patients and 126 healthy controls (control group). Bipo?lar disorder patients was assessed by using the Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS) and the Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD). Results The serum UA levels were significantly higher in bipolar group [(349.34 ± 107.21) μmol/L] than in schizophrenic group [(319.71±84.48)μmol/L] and in control group [(280.94±71.90)μmol/L] (P0.05). Correlation analysis indicated that the correlation of serum UA levels with YMRS scores and HAMD scores was not significant in bipolar disorder patients (P>0.05). Conclusions Patients with bipolar disorder has elevated serum uric acid levels which may be a biomarkers of bipolar disorder.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To evaluate the advantages of function-preserving parotidectomy for benign tumors involving deep parotid lobe. Methods:17 patients with benign tumor involving deep parotid lobe were treated by limited partial parotidectomy.All of the tumors were not more than 3 cm of diameter,12 of them were in the deep lobe and 5 involving both superficial and deep lobes.In the operation fascia glandular flap was made,the tumor with the surrounding gland tissue was thoroughly dissected and the glandular parenchyma was preserved.Results:All the operations were successful and the wounds healed well with symmetrical facial contours.No patient experi-enced salivary fistula.Temporary facial palsy was observed in 2 cases(11.76%).No tumor recurrence was observed.Facial nerve function of all patients completely recovered after a median follow-up of 11 months.Conclusion:Function-preserving parotidectomy for benign tumor involving the parotid deep lobe may improve functional outcomes without compromising local tumor control.
