ABSTRACT
Objective: To provide an important tool for the study of diagnose and treatment of prostate cancer (PCa) osseous metastasis and change of bone stress force on prostate cancer (PCa) osseous metastasis and a platform, which is more congruous to clinical process, for prevention and cure of neoplastic bone metastases, and to carry out the construction and improvement of animal models of PCa with different positional osseous metastasis in vivo.Methods: Different gradient concentrations of RM-1 cells were inoculated into the cavity of left femoral bone or lumbar vertebra of mice (C57BL/6) respectively.The change of mouse activity, tumor formation, tumor size and survival time were observed respectively.And the femur tissue and spinal tissue were obtained from the mice after death.The gray value of iconography were measured by imageological examination of femur tissue, and the final histopathological examination were taken to determine the tumor type in both femur and spinal tissue.Results: The tumor growth could be touched at the puncture site in all the mice after inoculated for 7 days.There were no obvious differences in the time of tumorigenesis, the rate of tumor growth and tumor size among the mice in the same group (P>0.05).As the result, the construction femoral bone and lumbar vertebra metastatic models of PCa had been confirmed by iconography and pathology detection.At the same time, the survival time of the mice inoculated with low concentrations of PCa cells was obviously longer than that of high concentrations of PCa cells (at least 2 weeks longer).Conclusion: The animal models with different positional osseous metastasis (limbs and axial skeleton) of PCa using the same PCa cells (RM-1) had been first constructed successfully in our study.At the same time, a high success rate of construction of PCa animal model with bone metastasis was obtained by femoral bone marrow cavity injection of PCa cells.The rate of tumor growth was rapid, animal survival time was appropriate, and the PCa animal model with bone metastasis can be stably reproduced by our method.These animal models can be used to explore the pathogenesis of different positional PCa bone metastasis and provide a new platform, which were more congruous to clinical process, for prevention and cure of neoplastic bone metastases.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the clinical effect of the 1 470 nm diode laser for the treatment of superficial bladder tumor.Methods Two hundreds and sixteen patients diagnosed with superficial bladder tumor were treated in our hospital from January 2012 to January 2014 and divided into the laser group and electric cutting group.The two groups were treated by 1 470 nm diode laser and transurethral plasma kinetic resection respectively.The basic data and the observation indexes were compared be tween the two groups.Results The operation time,intraoperative bleeding volume,indwelling catheter time and hospital stay time in the laser group were significantly less than those in the electric cutting group.The levels of epinephrine,norepinephrine and an giotensin Ⅱ in operation and at postoperative 6 h in the laser group were significantly lower than those in the electric cutting group (P＜0.05).The obturator nerve reflex and bladder perforation did not occur in the laser group,and the total complications occurrence rate was 5.1％,the bladder tumor recurrence rate in postoperative 24 months was 7.1％.The obturator nerve reflex occurrence rate was 7.6％,the vesical perforation rate was 1.7％,the total complications occurrence rate was 15.3％,the bladder tumor recurrence rate in postoperative 24 months was 17.8 ％ in the electric cutting group.The above indexes of the laser group were significantly lower than those of the electric cut group(P＜0.05).Conclusion The 1 470 nm diode laser for the treatment of noninvasive superficial bladder tumor has definitely curative effect,is easy to operate with low postoperative complication occurrence rate,high safety and low middle and long term recurrence rate,moreover has little influence on patient's stress level.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the clinical indication,research value and surgical techniques of retroperitoneal laparoscopic ureter lithotomy for ureteral calculi.Methods Clinical data of 98 cases were retrospectively analyzed.All the patients underwent RLU,KWB,IVP,CTU or MRU examination and diagnosed with ureteral calculi,with 42 cases of upper ureteral calculi,35 cases of middle ureteral calculi,and 21 cases of low ureteral calculi.Laparoscopic ureter lithotomy was performed on all the patients.Results All the 98 cases underwent laparoscopic ureter lithotomy (RLU) successfully,with the sizes of stones ranging from 1.5 to 3.0cm,the mean operative time 60 minutes (from 45 to 100 minutes),and mean blood loss 30 mL (from 20 to 60ml).Complication had not been observed in 85 cases for 3-38 months follow-up.Conclusions The treatment of ureteral calculi with lapa-endo-scopic ureter lithotomy shows its unique superiority on the basis of skilled operative technology.Lapa-endo-scopic ureter lithotomy can be a preferred method to be performed or be a compensation method in some cases.
ABSTRACT
Objective To discuss the clinical correlation between chronic prostatitis (CP) and erectile dysfunction (ED).Methods A retrospective analysis was made on the clinical data from patients who were diagnosed as CP in urology department of the First People's Hospital of Yunnan Province and the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University.Patients' data were collected from July 2005 to July 2012.All the patients were diagnosed as CP based on their clinical manifestation,the NIH Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index,prostatic fluid examination,routine urine examination and ultrasonography.The condition of erectile function was inquired on every patient and recorded.Results There were 4 315 patients diagnosed as CP in present study,while their age ranged from 17 to 64 years (average,31 years).Sixty-one (1.41％) patients were identified as moderate and severe types of ED (International Index of Erectile Function 5 ≤ 11),while 42 (0.97％) patients were confirmed as ED after they got CP.435/4 315 patients (10.08％)felt obviously sexuality descent after they got CP,and the sexuality was reported improved in 426/435 pa-tients after prostatitis symptomatic relief.Conclusions The incidence rate of ED in CP patients is not ob-viously higher than that in common community.And sexuality descent in patients might be caused by localindisposition and anxiety after CP.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the clinical features,diagnosis and therapy of adrenal incidentalomas. Methods The data of 66 cases of adrenal incidentalomas were retrospectively analyzed. Results The accuracy rates of localization detected by B-Ultrasound,CT scan and MRI were 84.3%,100% and 100% respectively. The accuracy rates of qualitative diagnosis by B-Ultrasound, CT scan and MRI were 30.0%,75.5% and 79.2% respectively. There were 60 cases underwent operation and the postoperative pathological examination confirmed that there were 31 cases of adrenal cortical adenoma, 6 cases adrenal cyst, 5 myelolipoma, 5 pheochromocytoma, 3 adrenal cortical carcinoma, 3 metastatic carcinoma, 3 ganglioneuroma, 1 adrenal neurilemmoma, 1 adrenal hematoma, and 1 nodular hyperplasia of adrenal cortex. Conclusions Ultrasonography is the first choice of scanning adrenal incidentaloma. However the CT scan and MRI are satisfactory in localization of the tumour. The qualitative diagnosis of adrenal incidentaloma will depend on the diameter, imaging features of tumors, the age of patients, and endocrine examination.
