RESUMO
Objective To investigate the treatment of female bladder neck obstruction by 1470nm laser transurethral modified enlarged female bladder neck obstruction(FBNO).Methods The clinical data of 34 patients with FBNO from January 2019 to November 2021 were retrospectively analyzed.The patient underwent a 1470nm laser transurethral modified enlarged bladder neck incision.The 1470nm laser was used to vaporise the bladder neck at 12 o'clock(lithotomy),and the incision site was expanded along the bladder neck to 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock to form a semi-circular surgical wound.The patients were followed up for complications,scored form of Bristol female lower urinary tract symptoms questionnaire(BFLUTS-SF)urination symptom subscale,quality of life(QoL)score and the maximum urinary flow rate(Qmax),detrusor pressure at maximum flow rate(PdetQmax),post-void residual(PVR)were reviewed at 1,4,and 10 months after operation.Results After 10 months of follow-up,the subjective indexes of BFLUTS-SF and QoL scores were significantly improved compared with those before operation(P<0.001),and the objective indexes of Qmax,PdetQmax,and PVR were significantly improved compared with those before operation(P<0.001).Two patients had mild urgency urinary incontinence and urinary tract infection symptoms half a month after operation,and the symptoms were improved after anti-infection and pelvic floor rehabilitation treatment.During the follow-up period,there were no complications such as vesicovaginal fistula,stress urinary incontinence,or recurrent bladder neck obstruction.Conclusion 1470nm laser transurethral modified enlarged bladder neck resection can effectively relieve bladder neck obstruction without significant postoperative complications,with high safety and good patient satisfaction.
RESUMO
Objective@#To explore the relationship between premenarchal dietary carbohydrate and dietary fiber intakes and age at menarche in Chinese girls.@*Methods@#Based on dietary and menarcheal information on 750 girls from the Chinese Health and Nutrition Survey, multivariate linear regression models and logistic models were used to analyze the influence of dietary carbohydrate and dietary fiber intakes before menarche onset and age at menarche. Carbohydrate intake was replaced by engergg ratio carbohydrate for a sensitivity analysis.@*Results@#Adjusting for residence, per capita household income, body mass index standard deviation score, and energy intake, higher intake and higher energy ratio of carbohydrate were associated with later age at menarche(P<0.01). Compared to girls at the lowest tertile of carbohydrate intake level, those at the highest tertile had a 0.35 years(2.8%) delay in age at menarche, while 55% decreased[OR(95%CI)=0.45(0.30-0.69)]. Dietary fiber intake was not associated with age at menarche in any model(P>0.2).@*Conclusion@#Girls with higher premenarcheal carbohydrate intake experienced menarche later, while dietary fiber intake was not associated with age at menarche.

RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To explore the guiding significance of artificial intelligence for clinical practice of breast cancer after operation,and to evaluate the concordance of the Watson for oncology(WFO)with the breast cancer treatment guidelines of NCCN and Chinese Anti-Cancer Association.METHODS: A total of 100 patients who were diagnosed as breast cancer after accepting surgical operations from January 2016 to December 2017 in China-Japan Union Hospital of Jilin University were enrolled.The expressions of ER,PR,Her-2 and Ki-67 protein in cancer tissues after operation were detected by using immunohistochemitry,and inputed the clinical cases information of these 100 patients into the WFO system.Finally,the treatment recommendations were compared with the breast cancer treatment guidelinesof NCCN and the China Anticancer Association.The Kappa test was used to determine the concordance.RESULTS: There were 64 cases(64%)of all 100 patients with the same treatment plans,the clinical stage Ⅱ(42/44 cases,95.5%)to Ⅲ(15/16 cases,93.6%)and triple negative breast cancer(7/8 cases,87.5%)treatment showed a higher concordance(Kappa value ≥ 0.75);The age≥ 41 years old,Luminal A of the immunophenotype and pathological grade Ⅲ also had a certain concordance,and the concordance of 41-55 years old were average,but it is not ideal of the cases that older than 55 years old or the pathological grade Ⅲ;On the contrary,the treatment recommendations of clinical stage Ⅰ(7/40 cases,17.5%),especially for both the lymph node metastasis negative were very inconsistency(Kappa value <0).But there was no statistical significance in the cases of the age ≤ 41 years old,pathological gradeⅠto Ⅱ,Luminal B and HER-2 type of immunophenotype.CONCLUSION: WFO in the patients of clinical stageⅡ to Ⅲ and triple negative breast cancer(P<0.05)has a certain reference value in the afore-mentioned situations;And WFO could be considering in the cases of age ≥ 41 years of age or older,Luminal A of immunophenotype and pathological grade Ⅲ;In contrast,for clinical stage Ⅰ of early breast cancer patients,WFO is not recommended.WFO could offer some reasonable treatment recommendations in partial patients with artificial intelligent computer system,and it may provide clinical decisionsupport for clinicians,and it has some guiding significance in breast cancer postoperative clinical practice,clinical learning and research.
RESUMO
Objective To observe the effect of wheel running and treadmill running on the cognitive functioning of rats after the extraction of a molar.Methods Thirty-two Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into a control group (group C,n =8),a molar extraction group (ML group,n =8),a wheel running pretreatment group (W-ML group,n=8) and a treadmill running pretreatment group (T-ML group,n =8).The rats in the T-ML and W-ML groups practiced wheel running and treadmill running for 1 week,then they and the rats in the ML group received molar extraction surgery.One week later,a passive avoidance test was used to evaluate the cognitive functioning of all of the rats.Results No significant differences were found in the groups' average latency I times,but the average latency II time of the ML group was significantly shorter.There was no significant difference in the average latency II times of the T-ML and W-ML groups.Conclusion Either wheel running or treadmill running can promote learning and memory after molar loss by oral surgery,at least in rats.
RESUMO
Objective To observe the changes of potassium ion (K+), lactic acid (Lac) and glucose (Glu) in swine with traumatic hemorrhagic shock (THS) inside the dry-heat environment and to explore its possible mechanism. Methods A total of 40 local Landrace piglets were randomly(random number) divided equally into 4 groups: the normal temperature sham operation group (NS), the normal temperature traumatic hemorrhagic shock group (NTHS), the dry-heat sham operation group (DS group) and the dry-heat traumatic hemorrhagic shock group (DTHS). The experiment was carried out in the artifi cia climate cabin simulated the special environment of northwest of China. After exposed to their respective environment[dry-heat environment: (40.5±0.5), plus(10±2)% humidity; normal temperature environment: (25±0.5), plus(35±5)% humidity] for 3 h. Laparotomy were performed in swine of all groups, and then splenectomy and partial hepatectomy were performed only in NTHS and DTHS. The process of exsanguination from the external iliac artery was established to make the MAP reaching to 40-50 mmHg, and thus the traumatic hemorrhagic shock model of swine was successfully made. Blood samples were collected from external iliac artery at different intervals including the time just after exposure for 3 h and the successful establishment of traumatic hemorrhagic shock model (0 h) and then every 30 min after 0 h, serum levels of K+, Lac and Glu were detected. The features of varied serum K+, Lac and Glu were observed in each group. All data were statistically analyzed using One-way ANOVA and Pearson correlation analysis. Results After exposed , the level of serum K+inside the dry-heat environment was higher than that of swine inside the normal temperature group ( P<0.01), however the Glu level was lower in the swine inside dry-heat environment than that of swine inside the normal temperature ( P<0.01).The level of serum K+and Lac of DTHS group were rapidly increased from the establishment of the model to the death in about 3 h, while those of NTHS group were increased slowly. The level of K+and Lac were positively correlated in the two groups amd the correlation coeffi cient were rDTHS=0.927 (P<0.01) and rNTHS=0.539 (P<0.01),respectively. The level of Glu was progressively decrease in DTHS group, while in NTHS group, it was not noticeable. The level of K+and Glu were negatively correlated in the two group, the correlation coeffi cient were rDTHS=-0.804 (P<0.01) and rNTHS=0.420 (P<0.01),respectively. Conclusions The changes of serum K+, Lac and Glu occurred sooner and more obvious in traumatic hemorrhagic shock models inside dry heat environment (DTHS) group than those in NTHS group. The level of serum K+positively correlated with Lac, however, negatively correlated with Glu, which suggested that hyperkalemia and acidosis should be paid more attention to the treatment of traumatic hemorrhagic shock inside the dry heat environment, and the hypoglycemia should be treated at the same time.

RESUMO
<p><b>BACKGROUND</b>Several studies have revealed that adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) can be used as seed cells for the treatment of spinal cord injury (SCI). Chondroitinase ABC (ChABC) decomposes chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans in the glial scar that forms following SCI, allowing stem cells to penetrate through the scar and promote recovery of nerve function. This study aimed to establish ADSCs that stably express ChABC (ChABC-ADSCs) and evaluate the migratory capability of ChABC-ADSCs in vitro.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>ADSCs were obtained from Sprague-Dawley rats using secondary collagenase digestion. Their phenotypes were characterized using flow cytometry detection of cell surface antigens and their stem cell properties were confirmed by induction of differentiation. After successful culture, ADSCs were transfected with lentiviral vectors and ChABC-ADSCs were obtained. Proliferation curves of ChABC-ADSCs were determined using the Cell Counting Kit-8 method, ChABC expression was verified using Western blotting, and the migration of ChABC-ADSCs was analyzed using the transwell assay.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Secondary collagenase digestion increased the isolation efficiency of primary ADSCs. Following transfection using lentiviral vectors, the proliferation of ChABC-ADSCs was reduced in comparison with control ADSCs at 48 h (P < 0.05). And the level of ChABC expression in the ChABC-ADSC group was significantly higher than that of the ADSC group (P < 0.05). Moreover, ChABC-ADSC migration in matrigel was significantly enhanced in comparison with the control (P < 0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Secondary collagenase digestion can be used to effectively isolate ADSCs. ChABC-ADSCs constructed using lentiviral vector transfection stably express ChABC, and ChABC expression significantly enhances the migratory capacity of ADSCs.</p>

MethodsFrom June 2008 to June 2011,18 ureteral stenosis patients with the history of ureteral open surgery,postoperative residual or recurrent kidney stones were treated.There were 8 males and 10 females with the age of 27 -48 years.Fourteen cases were with hydronephrosis of 2 -4 cm,3 cases were with hydronephrosis of 5 -6 cm and 1 case was with hydronephrosis >6 cm.Subsequent stone size < 1 cm was found in 15 cases,1 -3 cm in 3 cases,>3 cm in 1 case.All patients were treated with percutaneous nephrolithotomy ultrasonic lithotripsy combined with balloon dilatation.The stone clearance rate,hydronephrosis changes,complications and IVP situation before and after surgery were analyzed.ResultsAll the 18 cases were completed surgery successfully.There was 1 (6%) case with renal hemorrhage 3 days after the surgery and controlled with DSA hemostasis.There was 1 case accepted adjusting double-J tube by ureteroscopy.Sixteen (89%) patient's stones were completed removed.One case with residual calyceal stones size <5 mm was not further treated.There was 1 case treated with nephrectomy because of renal stone with infection.The patients were followed up for 6 to 36 months.Fourteen cases with hydmnephrosis improved significantly; 3 cases with no significant changes but improved following balloon dilation.All patients achieved significant improvement in imaging study comparing of preoperative and postoperative data.ConclusionThe use of percutaneous nephrolithotomy combined with endoscopic balloon dilation is a safe and efffective treatment option in the treatment of kidney stones with ureteral stenosis.
RESUMO
Objective To study the anti-tumor effects of griseofulvin on human prostate cancer PC-3 cells both in vitro and in vivo. Methods PC-3 cells were treated with griseofulvin at various concentrations for48 h,cell survival rate was then measured by MTT assay.The changes of morphology were observed by fluorescence microscope; Annexin V-FITC apoptosis detection kit was used to detect apoptosis of the cells ; The enzyme activity changes of caspase-3,8,9 were detected by spectrophotometry.For in vivo study,we first established the PC-3 tumor model by grafting PC-3 cells in athymic nude mice,and then injected griseofulvin into the tumors.12 days after injection,the mice were sacrificed,the tumors were removed,weighed and the ratios of tumor-suppression were then calculated.We had detected the expressions of Bcl-2,Bax,p53 and Survivin with immumohistochemistry as well. Results MTT results showed that griseofulvin could significantly inhibit the proliferation of PC-3 cells in vitro in a dose-dependent manner,and the IC50 of griseofulvin was 18.17 ±2.10 μg/ml.Typical morphological changes of PC-3 cells were observed by microscope.The rates of apoptosis of griseofulvin treated PC-3 cells greatly increased compared with that of the control cells (31.37 ± 2.93% vs 2.89 ± 0.67%,P < 0.01 ).The caspase-3,caspase-8 and caspase-9 activities in griseofulvin treated PC-3 cells were significantly higher than those in control cells (0.562 ±0.050 vs0.113±0.014,0.337±0.053 vs 0.120±0.017,0.293±0.038 vs0.109±0.018,P<0.01).On the 23th day after tumor vaccination,the tumor volume was 961.17 ± 78.12 mm3 in griseofulvin treated group and was 433.6 ± 12.8 mm3 in control group (P < 0.01 ).The tumor weight was 742.50 ± 78.63 mg in griseofulvin treated group and was 1387.33 ± 71.47 mg3 in control group ( P < 0.01 ).Bcl-2,Bax,p53 and Survivin protein expressions were 16.10 ± 3.45%,39.50 ± 6.88%,48.20 ± 8.04%,16.50 ± 2.22% in griseofulvin treated group,respectively; 41.30 ± 3.95%,13.70 ± 2.98%,17.60 ± 3.21%,52.11 ± 6.28% in control group,respectively.And there were significant differences in both groups (P < 0.01 ).The in vivo data showed that griseofulvin suppressed the tumor growth conspicuously through down-regulating the expression of Bcl-2,Survivin,and up-regulating the expression of Bax,p53. Conclusions Griseofulvin can inhibit the growth of PC-3 and induce apoptosis of PC-3 cells.Griseofulvin inhibits the in vivo tumorigenicity of PC-3 cells.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate the feasibility of urethral reconstruction with colonic mucosa graft in the treatment of complex long urethral stricture.Methods The clinical data of three cases with complex long urethral stricture were reported and analyzed.Patient ages were 71,64 and 48 yrs and the course of disease was three months,six months and six yrs,respectively.The length of urethral stricture was 13,18 and 12 cm.Removing the narrow urethral segment and intercepting the length from 12 to 18 cm sigmoid colon and stripping colonic mucosa were performed.Urethral reconstruction was done with a free graft of colonic mucosa.Follow-up included urethrography,uroflowmetry,and urethroscopy.Results The urethral reconstructions were completed successfully.The urinary peak flows of the patients were 16.7 ml/s,19.6 ml/s and 26.4 ml/s at six weeks post operation.Urethrography revealed the graft urethral lumens were bulky three months after the operation.In urethroscopy,the colonic mucosa was found to be of good color and the anastomotic site healed well.Patients were followed-up 28,16,and three months,respectively,and were all voiding well.Conclusions Colonic mucosa graft urethroplasty is a feasible procedure for the treatment of complex long urethral stricture.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE@#To observe the effect of daily low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUs) therapy on improving the enchondral bone formation in lumbar fusion in rabbit models, and to explore its possible mechanism.@*METHODS@#Posterolateral noninstrumented bilateral fusions were performed at the L5 approximately L6 levels in 20 New Zealand rabbits. The autograft iliac bone was implanted on the left side, and the hydroxyapatite bioceramic artificial bone on the right. The rabbits were divided into a treatment group and a control group randomly. One week after the surgery, LIUPs was administered for 20 minutes per day for 4 weeks over the fusion site in the treatment group and false treatment was used in the control group. Post-anterior X-ray photographs were taken to determine the conditions of fusion area, and then, rabbits were killed and the fusion tissues were obtained. Chondrocytes were detected by histological and cytological methods.@*RESULTS@#Compared with the control group, the fusion rate of the treatment group was significantly up-regulated (P0.05).@*CONCLUSION@#Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound therapy improves the endochondral bone formation in the lumbar spine fusion in rabbit models.

A novel antimicrobial peptide, named as perinerin (GenBank accession No. P84117), was isolated and characterized from Asian marine clamworms, Perinereis aibuhitensis Grube. Perinerin showes powerful and broad activity against both grampositive and gramnegtive bacteria in vitro, especially on Pseudemonas aeruginosa. To obtain large amounts of active perinerin and characterize its main physiochemical features, The perinerin weve expressed in Pichia pastoris. Intact perinerin gene amplified by the modified gene SOEing method(Gene splicing by overlap extension)was cloned into expression vector pPICZ?A and obtained recombinant vector pPICZ?APEN, then pPICZ?APEN was expressed in the Pichia pastoris GS115. The expressed sample was analyzed by TricineSDSPAGE. The results showed that Pichia pastoris was a suitable system producing the secreted form of perinerin. Bioactivity assay showed that the recombinant perinerin had marked antimicrobial effects.
