Objective To evaluate the urine cytology silver staining combined with ultrasonography（USG）in the detection of bladder transitional cell carcinoma （TCC） recurrence after transurethral resection of bladder tumor（TURBT）in terms of sensitivity and specificity. Methods Cystoscopy was used as “gold standard”. Urine cytology combined with USG or cystoscopy was measured separately and blindly. AgNORs protein stained by silver were used in cytology with Kappa of inter-observers 0.81. For the USG, the patients were scanned with trans-rectal probe with Kappa of inter-observers 0.76. The results of urine cytology combined with USG （Positive when urine cytology and/or USG positive. Negative when both urine cytology and USG negative） were compared with “gold standard”. Results The 148 consecutive superficial TCC patients with TURBT one year previously were included in this study. Fifty seven recurrenced cases were detected. Recurrence rate was 38.51%. The sensitivity and specificity of urine cytology silver stain were 89.47% （95% CI 0.82 to 0.98） and 87.91% （95% CI 0.81 to 0.95）. Area under ROC curve was 82.22%. The sensitivity and specificity of USG were 57.90% （95% CI 0.45 to 0.71 ） and 90. 11% （ 95% CI 0.84 to 0.96）. Area under ROC curve was 73.13% . The sensitivity was improved to 94. 74% （95% CI 0.89 to 1.00） when cytology combined with USG. But specificity decreased to 84. 62% （95% CI 0.77 to 0.92 ）. Area under ROC curve was improved to 98.28%. Conclusions Urine cytology silver stain combined with USG improves the high sensitivity for follow-up TCC patients after TURBT. The non-invasive protocol is suggested.
Objective To analyze the risk factors inducing tumor cells exfoliating during radical resection of rectal cancer. Methods Sixty patients who were diagnosed as rectal cancer from May 2006 to November 2007 and given radical operations were assigned prospectively in this study. Before cutting the rectal stump below the tumor, saline was instilled into rectum to irrigate the stump. Collected irrigating fluids were sent to pathology laboratory, and the exfoliated malignant cells were tested by HE （haematoxylin and eosin） dyeing and common smear technique. The results of examines were collected and statistical analysis, including a Logistic regression model, was performed. Results Exfoliated malignant cells were found in 27 samples. By univariate analysis, the statistically significant factors defining a high risk of exfoliating were age, tumor size, TNM stage, operation time and operation method (Plt;0.05). Only TNM stage， operation time and operation method were confirmed by Logistic regression analysis to independently result in a statistically significant increased risk of exfoliating. Conclusion Irrigating the rectal stump before cutting down the tumor is essential to avoid local recurrence. The effects of TNM stage, tumor size and operation time are important. Although the laparoscopic surgery is more predominant than conventional surgery for non-neoplasma technology, irrigating is an important process.

ObjectiveTo explore the prevalence rate of gynecologic diseases and its character of age distribution of women in Chengdu, China. MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed gynecologic examination reports of women who underwent physical examination from December 2011 to November 2012. ResultsThis study included 23 389 women; the overall detection rate of cervix erosion was 20.98%. The detection rate of cervix erosion of women aged from 20 (included) to 30 was 44.81%, ranking first. The overall rate of abnormal cervical cytology was 0.93%, and the rate of women aged 41 to 50 was 1.20%, ranking first. The overall detection rate of uterine myoma, uterine adenomyosis, and ovarian tumor was 11.12%, 1.33%, and 3.60%, respectively. Fourty-one to 50 was the peak age of uterine myoma, uterine adenomyosis, and ovarian tumor; the detection rate was 19.95%, 2.46%, and 4.76%, respectively. The difference was significant in different age (P<0.05). ConclusionThe detection rate of gynecological common disease is high in childbearing aged women. Women aged 41-50 is the high-risk population of gynecological common disease.
ObjectiveTo establish a reasonable risk evaluation tool in order to guide the clinical prevention of accidental extubation. MethodsWe collected all the tube types in our hospital, and according to the extubation consequence severity and risks, we designed the extubation risk factor items and formed the professional tables for scoring. Sixteen medical experts and 16 nursing experts were chosen to determine the scores for two rounds following the "Delphi" method. Five patients that had extubation accidentally were selected for evaluation, and 56 clinical cases provided feedbacks after evaluation. Then, the risk was set into 3 ranks:light (≤ 8 points), medium (9-12 points) and high (≥ 13 points). Finally, literature review and collection of the prevention measures were carried out, and the final "Accidental Extubation Risk Evaluation Table" was completed. ResultsAltogether, 283 patients were evaluated using the table in 23 departments of the hospital, among whom 121 were at mild risk, 76 were at medium risk and 86 were at high risk. Measures were taken accordingly, and no accidental extubation occurred. ConclusionThe evaluation table is reasonable, with which accidental extubation risk evaluation is standardized, and the safety of catheter nursing is enhanced.
Silicon carbide (SiC) film and silicon dioxide (SiO2) film were deposited on the surface of carbon/carbon composite (C/C) by low pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD). The biocompatibility of the three carbon-based composites, e. g. C/C, C/C-SiC, C/C-SiO2 were investigated by cytotoxicity test, cell direct contact and cell adhesion experiments. Cytotoxicity, cell direct contact and cell adhesion showed that the three materials had no toxic effect on mouse fibroblasts (L929 cells). However, the particles dropped off from the three materials had a great impact on evaluation accuracy of the thiazolyl blue (MTT) test. More the particles were lost, more growth inhibition to L929 cells. The evaluation accuracy of MTT method can be kept with the filtered extract of materials. Furthermore, the results of surface particles shedding experiment showed that the amount of surface particles shed from C/C-SiO2 was the most, followed by C/C and C/C-SiC in 72 hours. Particles shedding curves showed there was a peak reached at eighth hour and then declined to the thirty-sixth hour. The filtrate analysis showed that there was no ion exchange between the three materials and simulated body fluid (SBF) solution. The results of this study on biocompatibility of carbon-based composites have certain guiding significance for their future application in clinical filed.
ObjectiveTo explore the diagnostic value of “Four-Step Procedure” of laparoscopic exploration in patients with peritoneal metastasis of gastric cancer.MethodsWe retrospectively collected the data of 409 gastric adenocarcinoma patients from July 2016 to August 2020 who underwent “Four-Step Procedure” of laparoscopic exploration in West China Hospital. The descriptive case series study was conducted to analyze the outcome of laparoscopic exploration combined with CY (cytology test), stepwise treatment plans, and the rates of CY1 and P1 (peritoneal metastasis) among cT3–4 patients during different periods. SPSS 22.0 software was used to conduct the univariate and multivariate logistic regression to analyze the high risk factors associated with P1 and (or) CY1.ResultsA total of 409 gastric adenocarcinoma patients who underwent laparoscopic exploration were enrolled in our study. Among them, 65 patients were confirmed to be P1 and (or) CY1. Stratified analysis by cT and cN staging showed that there were 7 (7.4%) and 55 (27.9%) patients with peritoneal metastasis in cT3 staging and cT4 staging, respectively. After laparoscopic exploration, 168 patients received laparoscopic gastrectomy, 35 patients received laparotomy, 143 patients received neo-adjuvant chemotherapy, and 63 patients received conversion therapy. The bar chart showed an ascending tendency in the diagnosis rate of P1 over time among cT3–4 patients. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that ascites was an independent risk factor of CY1 and (or) P1 (P<0.001). Additionally, the postoperative complication rate was 2.9% in the patients who merely underwent laparoscopic exploration, including 4 patients with pulmonary infection and 2 patients with urinary retention.Conclusions“Four-Step Procedure” of laparoscopic exploration is reliable and feasible for gastric cancer. “Four-Step Procedure” of laparoscopic exploration has high diagnostic value for peritoneal metastasis of gastric cancer. Our study shows that most of peritoneal metastasis distribute in cT3 and cT4 patients. For these patients, laparoscopic exploration should be recommended to identify if peritoneal metastasis exists and avoid unnecessary laparotomy.
