Objective. To explore the effect observation on modified Zishen Tongguan decoction combined with acupuncture in the treatment of urinary retention after cervical cancer surgery and its influence on the incidence of adverse reactions. Methods. The clinical data of 84 patients suffered from urinary retention after radical resection of cervical cancer (December 2018–December 2019) in the oncology department of Jinan Municipal Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine were selected for retrospective analysis. According to the order of admission, they were divided into group A (n = 42), treated with conventional therapy, modified Zishen Tongguan decoction, and acupuncture, and group B (n = 42), treated with conventional therapy. The clinical efficacy of the two groups was observed, the urination function indexes after therapy were recorded, and the clinical efficacy and incidence of adverse reactions were analyzed. Results. After therapy, compared with group B, the average urinary flow rate, maximum urinary flow rate, bladder compliance (BC) level value, and the number of patients with good recovery of bladder function of group A were obviously higher P < 0.05 , and the urination time and detrusor pressure were obviously lower P < 0.001 . There was no significant difference in the average scoring of overactive bladder syndrome score (OABSS) between the two groups at 7 days of therapy p > 0.05 . The average OABSS of group A at 14 days of therapy was obviously lower than that of group B P < 0.001 . Compared with group B, the total clinical effective rate of group A was obviously higher P < 0.05 , while the total incidence of adverse reactions was obviously lower P < 0.05 . Conclusion. Modified Zishen Tongguan decoction combined with acupuncture is a reliable method to treat urinary retention after cervical cancer surgery, which greatly improves the urination function of patients, as well as the clinical efficacy. Further research will help create a better solution for patients with urinary retention after cervical cancer surgery.

e21605 Background: To observe the clinical efficacy and survival of UMIPIC combined with low-dose chemotherapy in patients with lung cancer. Methods: 840 patients with lung cancer underwent UMIPIC treatment from January 2011 to December 2015 were selected as the study subjects, 341 cases combined with low-dose chemotherapy in group A and 499 cases not combined with chemotherapy in group B. All patients were diagnosed with lung cancer and signed a consent form for treatment. The patients were treated according to the UMIPIC treatment guidelines. This study was mainly to observe the adverse reactions, clinical efficacy, survival time and survival rate of lung cancer patients after receiving UMIPIC combined with or without low dose chemotherapy. Results: The common adverse reactions in group A were fever 38.12%, followed by pain 9.38%, hemoglobin 7.94%, white blood cells 5.01%, nausea 2.35%, liver function damage 1.19%, vomiting 1.17%, and kidney function damage 0.30%; Common adverse reactions in group B were fever 38.68%, followed by pain 13.23%, hemoglobin reduction 12.87%, white blood cell reduction 5.29%, nausea 2.00%, vomiting 2.00%, liver function damage 1.92%. The hemoglobin reduction in group A was significantly lower than that in group B (P < 0.05), and there was no difference in the other adverse reactions (P > 0.05). Clinical efficacy of the two groups revealed that the benefit rate of group A was 95.45% higher than that of group B 93.47% (P > 0.05). After follow-up, it was found that the average survival time and median survival time of patients in group A were 20.744 and 13.270 months, respectively, which were significantly higher than those of group B at 19.514 and 10.070 months (P < 0.05). The survival rates of the two groups of patients, The 1-year, 2-year, and 5-year survival rates of group A patients are 52.48%, 23.60%, and 16.95%, and the 1-year, 2-year, and 5-year survival rates of group B patients are 42.96% and 17.07 % And 10.26%, the one-year survival rate of group A was significantly higher than that of group B (P < 0.05). Conclusions: UMIPIC combined with low-dose chemotherapy has a good clinical effect in treating lung cancer without increasing the incidence of adverse reactions, and a significant effect on extending survival time and improving survival rate of lung cancer patients.

The objective of this study was to observe the clinical effect of Chitosan nanoparticles therapy on Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection. Three treatment groups (A, B, and control group C) were randomly assigned with 60 cases of HP each, making 180 cases. Group C received standard triple therapy (omeprazole + amoxicillin + clarithromycin), group A got a routine dose of Chitosan nanoparticles plus triple therapy, and group B got a high dose of Chitosan nanoparticles plus triple therapy. The course of treatment in each group was 7 days. The eradication rate, clinical efficacy and adverse reactions were observed. Up to 172 patients finished the experiment, with 59 patients in Group A, 57 in Group B and 56 in Group C. In a total analysis set (FAS), the eradication rates of HP in Group A, Group B and Group C were 80.00%, 80.70%, and 71.67%, respectively. There was no significant difference between the two groups (P > 0.05). In accordance with the PPS, the HP eradication rates of group A, B, and C were 81.36%, 80.70% and 76.79%, respectively, and there was no significant difference between the two groups (P > 0.05). The clinical efficacy of group A, B, and C were 91.67%, 91.23%, and 70.00%, respectively. The differences among the three groups were statistically significant (P < 0.05). In accordance with the PPS, the clinical efficacy of group A, B and C was 93.22%, 91.23%, and 75.00%, respectively. With a P-value of less than 0.05, the results indicated that the difference between the two groups was statistically significant. There were 21 adverse reactions in the experiment, including 3 in group A, 6 in group B, and 12 in group C. The difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05) between group A and B compared with group C, the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05); the difference between group A and group B was statistically significant (P < 0.05). In conclusion the therapeutic effect of Chitosan nanoparticles and oral liquid, combined with triple therapy on HP infection is satisfactory, with less adverse reactions are. However, the findings suggest that it is not desirable to use a high dose Chitosan nanoparticles and oral liquid.

This study aimed to evaluate the urinary tract for dynamic function and stones and calcifications in patients with alkaptonuria. Thirty-eight patients were prospectively divided into two groups. Study group (A) involved 17 patients; the average age was 42 years. The control group (B) involved 21 patients; the average age was 37 years. All patients from the two groups underwent uroflowmetry assessment and ultrasonography for the kidneys and urinary bladder, and prostate in two phases (full bladder and empty bladder). Group A—Bladder volume ranged between 400 and 520 cc. The peak flow rate was between 7 and 23 mL/s, with an average of 18.6 mL/s. Flow rate curves shape were acceptable to the normal bell-shape curve in 11 patients. Seven patients (41%) had prostate calcification accounting for 5%–35% of prostate size. Group B—Bladder volume ranged between 290 and 510 cc. The peak flow rate was 8–27 ml/s, with an average of 20 mL/sec. Normal bell shape voiding curves were observed in 17 patients (80%). Four patients (19%) had prostate calcification accounting for 2%–12% of prostate size. Renal measurements on ultrasonography were the same in both groups. Patients with alkaptonuria developed prostate calcification at younger age; they have a slight but not statistically significant reduced peak urinary flow rate and post void residual urine.

Objective. To investigate the effects of arteriovenous thrombolysis combined with mechanical thrombectomy on clinical efficacy, neurological function, and the changes of nerve injury markers of acute cerebral infarct (ACI) patients. Methods. A total of 143 cases with ACI admitted to our hospital from June 2017 to June 2019 were elected as research subjects. Among them, 69 cases of patients who received treatment of arteriovenous thrombolysis were considered as group A, and 74 cases of patients who received treatment of arteriovenous thrombolysis combined with mechanical thrombectomy were considered as group B. NIHSS score, clinical efficacy, vascular recanalization, adverse reactions, hemodynamics, neurological injury indexes, duration of coma, length of hospital stay, and prognosis of patients in the two groups were compared. Results. After treatment, the NIHSS score of group A was higher than that of group B (P<0.05), the clinical efficacy of group B was better than that of group A, and the incidence of adverse reactions was lower than that of group A (P<0.05). There was no difference in vascular recanalization rate, duration of coma, and prognosis between the two groups (P>0.05). Length of hospital stay, maximum peak velocity after treatment (Vs), and mean flow rate (Vm) of group A were lower than those of group B, while vascular resistance index (RI), pulsatility index (PI), serum glutamic acid (Glu), neuron-specific enolase (NES), and S100β protein detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) of group A were higher than those of group B (P<0.05). Conclusion. Arteriovenous thrombolysis combined with mechanical thrombectomy has a significant effect on ACI, with high safety and quick effect. In addition, it has a stronger effect on improving and protecting the neurological function of patients, which is worth promoting in clinical practice.

Abstract Background: To compare the efficacy and safety of different compatibility schemes in the prevention of visceral pain after gynecological laparoscopic surgery. Methods: from April 2019 to April 2020, patients undergoing elective gynecological laparoscopic surgery in our hospital were randomly divided into four groups: group A: sufentanil 3 μ g / kg; group B: low-dose nalbuphine group: 0.1 mg / kg of nabufen + 3 μ g / kg of sufentanil; group C: medium dose of nabufen group: 1 mg / kg of nabufen + 2 μ g / kg of sufentanil; group D: high-dose nabufen 2 There were 30 cases in each group. The degree of pain and the number of adverse reactions at 2, 4, 8, 12, 24 and 48 hours after operation were observed and recorded. The number and dosage of morphine used as a remedial analgesic were recorded. The pain degree was assessed by visual analogue scale (VAS). The total amount of analgesic pump used, the total number of times of pressing and the effective times of pressing were recorded. The adverse reactions included respiratory depression, nausea and vomiting, drowsiness, restlessness and skin The skin itches. Results: the analgesic effect of group B was similar to that of group A, and there was no significant difference in the number of invalid pressing, total pressing times and rescue analgesia rate (P > 0.05), while the invalid pressing times, total pressing times and remedial analgesia rate of group C and group D were significantly lower than those of group A (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference between group C and group D in the number of invalid compressions, the total number of compressions and the rate of remedial analgesia (P > 0.05), suggesting that increasing the dose of nalbuphine could not significantly increase the analgesic effect. The incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting, skin pruritus, lethargy and Ramsay Sedation score in group B and group C were significantly lower than those in group A (P < 0.05). Ramsay Sedation score and incidence of drowsiness were lower than those in group D, which indicated that the incidence of adverse reactions was higher in group D than group B and group C.Conclusion: the combination of 1 mg / kg nabufen and 2 μ g / kg sufentanil is a safe and effective combination scheme for the prevention of visceral pain after gynecological laparoscopic surgery with small adverse reactions.Trial registration: http://www.chictr.org.cn/showproj.aspx?proj=40635Registration number:ChiCTR1900025076 .

Background Most spinal surgery is painful and good postoperative analgesia is important. Opioids are the traditional first-line treatment. Ketorolac has been used for postoperative pain relief. However, there is no data available about controlling postoperative pain with ketorolac after open lumbar discectomy or laminectomy in Bangladesah. Objective To compare the efficacy of a Parentral ketorolac with conventional opioid for management of postoperative pain after lumbar disectomy or laminectomy. Methods Sixty patients who underwent lumbar disectomy or laminectomy were randomly allocated into two groups. Group A (n = 30) patients received 30 mg intramuscular ketorolac upon surgical closure and every 6 hours for 24 hours and intramuscular pethidine 1.5 mg/kg/b.w. as needed (PRN). Group B (n = 30) patients received only intramuscular pethidine 1.5 mgkg-1/b.w. every 6 hours for 24 hours and as needed (PRN). Postoperative analgesia was assessed in both groups by Visual Analogue Scale at arrival in postoperative ward and at 6, 12 and 24 hours for 24 hours. Total postoperative narcotic consumption and side effects like post operative nausea and vomiting (PONV), dizziness, urinary retention and pruritus were also recorded. Results Baseline data were comparable between the two groups. The mean VAS almost similar and less than 3 at different reading in both groups which indicate adequate postoperative analgesia and the differences were statistically not significant. The mean total cumulative amount of pethidine administered over 24 hrs period was less in group A it was 64.31+19.13 mg where as in group B was 161.23+21.25 mg. and the difference was statistically significant (p<0.01). Incidences of side effects like PONV, urinary retention and pruritus were more in group B than group A and differences were statistically significant (p<0.01). Conclusion For postoperative pain management after lumbar spine surgery both ketorolac and traditional parental opioid found effective. Total opioid consumption is significantly less with ketorolac and side effects like PONV, dizziness, urinary retention and pruritus were more with opioid alone.

Introduction: Urinary retention can be either chronic or acute in onset. Urinary retention can result from impaired detrusor contractility or obstruction of bladder outlet. Twenty five to 30% of men with decreased flow are not obstructed 1. Either uroflowmetry or post-void residue (PVR) can not differentiate obstruction from impaired detrusor contractility. In this study, an effort has been paid to know the usefulness of pressure-flow study in urinary retention due to suspected benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH) cases for predicting the outcome of surgery. Methods: This is a before after clinical study, conducted in Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University, Dhaka. Total 32 patients were selected for the study. Patients age ranges from 49-78 years.Patients with chronic and refractory urinary retention due to BPH were enrolled for the study. They were divided into group A (pre-operative) and group B (Post-operative). TURP was done in all 32 patients by single surgeon. Study variables were detrusor pressure at maximum flow (Pdet@Qmax), bladder outlet obstruction index(BOOI), bladder contractility index( BCI) and post void residue (PVR). Result: Total number of patients was 32. Age ranges from 49-78 years. Twenty one (65.6%) had BPH with chronic retention and 11 (34.4%) had BPH with refractory retention.Pdet@Qmax between Group A and Group B was highly significant (p=0.001). But difference is not significant in Pdet@Qmax d” 40 subgroup of patients (p=0.673). Bladder outlet obstruction index between Group A and Group B is highly significantly (p=0.001), but, that does not observed in BOOI <20 subgroup(p=0.600). Bladder contractility index in both Normal (BCI 100-150) and strong ( BCI >150 ) subgroups are significant ( p=0.001 and 0.001 respectively ). But it is not significant in BCI<100 sub group (p=0.021). Post void residue between Group A and Group B is highly significant (p=0.001). But in PVR >300m subgroup, difference is insignificant (p=0.120). Conclusion: In this study, overall favorable outcome observed in all patients after TURP but Pdet@Qmax <40 cm of water, BOOI <20, BCI <100 and PVR >300 ml groups of patients are at high risk of unfavorable clinical outcome after TURP. With the help of presence flow study (PFS) prior knowledge of these factors, it is possible to predict postoperative outcome. Bangladesh Journal of Urology, Vol. 19, No. 2, July 2016 p.74-77

Asthma is one of the commonest respiratory disease (as Jamnagar situated on sea coast has more moisture present in the air and polluting environment is increasing due to rapid industrial development i.e. industries using various chemicals/ pollutants, increases the incidences of Respiratory tract diseases) as well as a significant disease burden worldwide costing billions of dollars. The WHO estimates that there are between 15 and 20 million people with Asthma in India. The increase is likely to be particularly dramatic in India, which is projected to become the world’s most populous nation by 2050. An absolute 2% increase in the prevalence of Asthma in India would result in an additional 20 million people with the disease.  Anti-asthmatic drugs that are available in the market are expensive and have adverse effects. Thus, it is wise to look for an adjunct therapy to alleviate these problems. Therefore, the main aim of this study is to see the effect of Yoga on patterns of clinical features, peak expiratory flow rates and use of drugs in Asthmatic patients. Yoga intervention group (Group A) showed 70.58% reduction in the use of emergency medicine while it was 68.09% in Ayurvedic conventional group (Group B). There was a 24.93% increment in the PEFR in the Group A while only 16.49% in the Group B. There was statistically significant reduction in frequency and duration of Asthma attacks in both the Groups. Yoga exercise among Asthmatic patients resulted in a decreased number of attacks and use of drugs. It also shows significant improvement in the peak expiratory flow rate in Yoga intervention Group. Further large scale study is recommended. Keywords: Asthma, Yoga, Expiratory flow rate.
