[Progress in home uroflowmetry in evaluation of lower urinary tract symptoms in patients].

Uroflowmetry is the most widely used non-invasive urodynamic tool for most patients with suspected lower urinary tract dysfunction. Home uroflowmetry can produce multiple representative flow readings in adequate privacy condition when patients feel a normal desire. Because of its advantages of decreasing variability, describing circadian rhythms and combating problems inherent to clinic-based measurements, it can improve diagnostic accuracy and predictive value.

[Identification of gene expression patterns in superficial and invasive human bladder cancers].

Objective: To study the difference of gene expression patterns in invasive and superficial human bladder cancers.

Methods: cDNA microarray was used to detect the RNA in 12 samples of invasive and superficial human bladder cancers and 6 samples of normal bladder tissues as control group obtained during operation. Then, the scanogram was analyzed by applying the image processing software GenePix Pro 3.
