ABSTRACT
Objective: To study the chemical constituents in the barks and leaves of Cinnamomum cassia.Methods: The crude extracts of the barks and leaves of Cinnamomum cassia were extracted by ethanol, the chemical constituents of the crude extracts were separated and purified by chromatographic methods and identified by spectroscopic analysis.Results: Five lignans were separated from the barks and two lignans were separated from the leaves of Cinnamomum cassia as follows: (7S,8R)-dihydrodehydrodiconiferyl alcohol 9'-O-β-D-apiofuranosyl-(1→6)-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (1), 1,2,3-propanetriol,1--3-methoxyphenyl-(1R,2R) (2), (6R,7R,8R)-7a-lyoniresinol (3), (6S,7R,8R)-7a-lyoniresinol (4), (6R,7S,8S)-7a-lyoniresinol (5),(+)-lariciresinol(6), (-)-4-epi-lyoniresinol (7).Conclusion: All the lignans are isolated from Cinnamomum cassia for the first time.
ABSTRACT
Objective To discuss the medium-term follow-up of clinically insignificant residual fragments (CIRF) after minimally invasive percutaneous nephrolithotomy lithotripsy (MPCNL).Methods The clinical data of 72 patients with CIRF medium-term follow-up were analyzed retrospectively.Results Seventy-two patients with CIRF.The anatomical distribution of CIRF was 10 at upper pole,15 at middle,35 at lower,10 at renal ureteropelvie junction and 2 at upper and lower pole.Stone analysis showed that 41 cases of calcium oxalate calculi,16 of calcium oxalate calculi mixed with carbonate calculi,3 calcium oxalate calculi mixed with uric acid,4 calcium oxalate calculi mixed with struvite stone,3 struvite stone,2 uric acid stone and 3 carbonate apatite mixed with struvite stone.Fifteen cases had clinical symptoms,including 2 renal colic pain,8 hematuria,5 lower urinary tract symptoms,4 cases CIRF located in upper pole,1 case in middle pole,4 cases in lower pole,6 cases in ureteropelvic junction,the incidence of clinical symptoms in ureteropelvic junction was significantly higher than that in other locations (6/10 vs.4/12,1/15,4/37,P ＜0.05).Eight cases required surgical procedure,5 cases underwent extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy,3 cases with ureteral CIRF were performed with ureteroscopic lithotripsy.CIRF were clear after surgery,7 patients with ureteral CIRF had renal colic pains.The stones were excluded after spasmolytic analgesic treatments.Conclusions CIRF can be located variously in the kidney and ureter.Most CIRF are calcium oxalate calculi and locate in the lower pole.Patients with the history of previous open surgery or extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy are more likely to get CIRF.Medium-term follow-up of CIRF reveals that CIRF located in the renal ureteropelvis junction are more likely to have clinical symptoms.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the clinical effects and safety of percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) by middle renal calice used as the main target for the treatment of staghorn stones with the combination of pneumatic and ultrasonic lithotrite.Methods Clinical data of 73 patients underwent PCNL by middle renal calices as main access with 57 incomplete staghorn stones and 35 complete staghorn stones.To observe the situation calculus removal rate and complications.Results Seventy cases (88 sides) underwent one session PCNL by single access tract (middle caliees),3 cases (4 sides) underwent one session PCNL by double access tracts (2 cases by middle and low calices,1 case by up and middle caliees).After the first period of lithoclasty,17 patients (25 sides) residual stones and the stone removal rate 72.8％ (67/92),among these patients,1 case (1 side) had fragments of lateral renal calyeeal stones with no further treatment.Other 16 cases (24 sides)underwent second session PCNL,all were treated by single access tract (middle calices) and 2 cases (2 sides)had extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy before the second PCNL.After the second period of lithoclasty,76 sides composed of 27 complete staghorn stones and 49 incomplete staghorn stones had no residual fragments with the stone removal rate 82.6％ (76/92).The operative time lasted 120-320 min.Hemoglobin dropped 1-4 g/L,11 cases in the operation procedure and 3 cases after operation needed blood transfusion respectively.One case of renal pelvic infection after operation and 1 case had split renal dysfunction with peri-parenchyma infection.The hospitalization time was 9-18 days.Conclusion It is effective and safe to perform PCNL for staghorn stone by middle calices as a main access.Combining pneumatic and ultrasonic lithotrite will be very useful with high stone clearance,short procedure time and less complications.
ABSTRACT
Objective To compare the outcomes of antegrade and retrograde approach ureteroscopy for impacted upper ureteric calculi and assess the safety and efficiency of the two types of minimally invasive technique. Methods A total of 106 patients with impacted upper ureteric calculi were treated with ureteroscopy. The procedure was performed via antegrade percutaneous nephrostomy tract in 50 patients (antegrade group) and via retrograde transurethral access in 56 patients (retrograde group). Results The success rate of retrograde group was 92.9% (52/56). Operating time was (45 ± 5 ) min, hospital stay was (6 ± 1) days. The stone free rate was 80.4%(45/56) at 1 month follow-up,7 patients with residual calculi required ESWL combination. Complication rate was 5.4% (3/56). The success rate of antegrade group was 100.0% (50/50). Operating time was (55 ± 8 ) min, hospital stay was (8 ± 2) days. The stone free rate was 100.0% (50/50) and no complication was noted. The stone free rate and the complication rate indicated significant difference between the two groups (P ＜ 0.05). Conclusions Antegrade and retrograde access ureteroscopy for impacted upper ureteric calculi are safe and effective. Success rate and stone free rate of antegrade approach are higher than those of retrograde approach.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the therapeutics of solitary kidney complicated with complexcalculi,and improve the effect and safety of treatment.Methods Experiences in the treatment of 32 patients with solitary kidney complicated with complex calculi were summarized.Congenital solitary kidney was 6 cases (18.8%),postnatal reason was 26 cases(81.2%),left was 12 cases(37.5%),right was 20 cases (62.5%).All patients were with mould or multiple calculi,9 cases were complicated with ureter calculi,and 8 cases were hospitalized because of obstructive anuria.The patients with mould calculi received extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy (ESWL) prior to percutaneous nephrolithotomy(PCNL).While the patients with multiple calculi received PCNL prior to ESWL. Some cases were treated by lithedialysis.Results Twenty-nine cases (90.6%)were cured by ESWL combined with PCNL 12 cases received lithodialysis during PCNL. Eight cases with obstructive anuria recovered in 12 hours after emergent ESWL or lithodialysis,3 cases(9.4%)underwent open operation because of deformity or obstruction in renal pelvis and ureter,1 case had to keep nephrostomy because of repeated infection.Followed up 4-36 months,29 cases (90.6%)kept good kidney function,3 cases(9.4%)had renal insufficiency,2 cases(6.2%)reoccurred calculi.Conclusions The therapeutics of ESWL combined with PCNL may clear complex calculi of solitary kidney effectively and safely.It is necessary to take emergent ESWL in renal obstructive calculi cases.And the patients with lower ureter obstructive calculi may take lithodialysis first.It is proper to choose open operation on the patients with deformity of renal pelvis or obstruction of ureter.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the analgesic effects of continuous infusion of morphine into epidural space(CIEA) on postoperative pain relief after prostatectomy. Methods 40 cases of benign prostate hypertrophy were selected and randomly divided into two groups,experimental group(CIEA),0 2mg/h of morphin was injected into epidural space,control group(MI),50mg of pethidine was injected whenever patient feel pain.VAS(Vision simulate score),frequency and duration of bladder spasm,discontinuance time of bladder irrigation,HR BP and RR,were observed. Results The experimental group was superior to the control group with characteristics of stable analgesic effect,short duration and low frequency of bladder spasm(P
