Résumé
Objective To investigate the value of heparin-binding protein(HBP) in predicting urosepsis after endoscopic lithotripsy for upper urinary tract stones.Methods From January to November 2018,635 cases of upper urinary tract stones treated by endoscopic lithotripsy in our hospital was analyzed.According to the 2014 edition Chinese Guidelines of the diagnosis and treatment of urosepsis,all patients were divided into two groups,the definite urosepsis group (n =53,8.3％) and the no urosepsis group (n =582,91.7％).The serum of HBP level was detected by fluorescence immunoassay technology.The serum of procalcitonin (PCT) level was detected by cyclic enhanced immunofluorescent assay.C-reactive protein (CRP) level was detected by automatic chemiluminescence immunoassay analyzer.White blood cells (WBC) count was performed by hematology analyzer.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curves were constructed by SPSS 22 and MedCale,and areas under curves (AUC) were calculated and compared to illustrate the diagnostic power of HBP,PCT,CRP and WBC.The correlation between HBP and WBC was also significant (r =0.68,P ＜ 0.05).Results The level of HBP,PCT,CRP and WBC were significantly higher in the definite urosepsis group compared to the no urosepsis group.AUC of HBP,PCT,CRP and WBC were 0.930,0.878,0.727 and 0.617.When the cutoff of HBP,PCT,CRP and WBC were set as 51.5 ng/ml,0.41 ng/ml,64.2 mg/L and 11.7 × 109/L,the sensitivities were 89.2％,83.3％,83.5％ and 44.7％,and the specificity were 95.9％,75.6％,64.3％ and 77.1％,respectively.Conclusions The value of heparin-binding protein was superior to that of PCT,CRP and WBC in predicting urosepsis after endoscopic lithotripsy for upper urinary tract stones.Heparin-binding protein could be acted as a diagnostic marker for urosepsis.
Résumé
Objective To assess the safety and efficacy of percutaneous nephrolithotripsy withpneumatic and ultrasonic power in pediatric renal calculi. Methods The clinical data of 44 patientstreated with combination of pneumatic and ultrasonic power during pereutaneous nephrolithotripsywere retrospectively analyzed. The 44 patients had 49 renal calculi. The patients were all under 14years old. The average age was 11 years (range 7-14 years). There were 39 unilateral and 5 bilateralcalculi. Among the 44 patients,metabolic disturbance occurred in 19 cases (43.2%),anatomical dys function occurred in 15 cases (34.1%),urinary tract infection occurred in 14 cases (31.8%). Ante grade percutaneous access was established under ultrasound guidance,a combination of pneumatic andultrasonic lithotripsy were used. The effect was evaluated by postoperative KUB and ultrasonic. Re suits The access was successfully established in all patients. Complete stone clearance was achievedin 36 kidneys in phase Ⅰ,stones from 9 kidneys were completely removed with second lithotripsy.Leftover stone in 2 kidneys were treated by ESWL. Open surgery was performed in 2 kidneys due toexcessive bleeding. The operative time ranged from 52 132 min,average time was 79 min. Two pa tients needed blood transfusion. No severe complications occurred in all patients. Thirty seven pa tients were followed up for 3 18 months. The renal function was not worsened and hydronephrosiswas not aggravated in these patients. Conclusion The percutaneous nephrolithotripsy with pneumatic and ultrasonic power is a safe,effective treatment for pediatric renal calculi.
