Recto sigmoid bladder reservoir for patients with exstrophy: Three dimensional evaluation for outcome analysis

ObjectiveTo report the results of recto sigmoid bladder reservoir (RSBR), a variant of ureterosigmoidostomy (US) in patients with bladder exstrophy (BE) using a three dimensional evaluation system.Patients and methodsThis was a predominantly retrospective evaluation for all patients of BE undergoing RSBR who had completed minimum of 1 year follow-up. The patients were evaluated using a three dimensional system which included evaluation of urinary continence per rectally, status of upper tracts and health related quality of life (HRQOL).ResultsA total of 19 patients (four females) were evaluated. Mean age was 8.4 years, and mean duration of follow-up was 3.4 years. Mean age at RSBR was 5.1 years. Ten patients had good rectal continence. There was occasional minimal urine leak while passing flatus or on straining in nine. All patients had preserved renal function except one. The mean HRQOL score was 129.7 out of maximum of 150..ConclusionsRSBR gives marked improvement in quality of life in patients of BE. In the literature there is a non-uniformity in the results reporting outcome of US. The presented three dimensional assessment provides a comprehensive way to report the results in the short/long term. If used by other surgeons it would make comparison across centers feasible.     

Pneumatosis intestinalis following pediatric live‐related liver transplant: A case report and successful conservative approach

PI has been rarely reported following pediatric live‐related liver transplantation. Such a disorder is characterized by accumulation of gas in the bowel wall. The cause of PI has not been yet established; however, it has been strongly linked with steroid therapy. In this report, we present a case of PI following pediatric live‐related liver transplantation that has been successfully managed conservatively.     

健康男性ABO血型与vWF：Ag检测的相关性

用火箭电泳法检测了１２０名正常健康男性（其中Ａ，Ｂ，Ｏ，ＡＢ型各３０人）的血浆ｖＷＦ：Ａｇ（血管性假血友病因子）含量，以判断是否存在有Ａ，Ｂ，Ｏ血型间的差异。结果表明，Ｏ型男性人群的血浆ｖＷＦ：Ａｇ含量低于其他男性血型人群，除ＡＢ与Ｂ型人群外，其他各型人群间血浆ｖＷＦ：Ａｇ含量存在明显差异。

??Abstract?? This article summarized the definition and diagnostic process of hematuria in children. First differentiate between real hematuria and false hematuria?? then differentiate between glomerular hematuria and non-glomerular hematuria??and finally make a diagnosis of illness according to clinical data and assistant examinations.
