Comparison of restrictive fluid therapy with goal-directed fluid therapy for postoperative delirium in patients undergoing spine surgery: a randomized controlled trial.

Background: Postoperative delirium (POD) is a common phenomenon after spinal surgery. Intraoperative fluid management may affect POD. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of restrictive fluid therapy (RF) with those of goal-directed fluid therapy (GDT) on POD.

Effects of different BP management strategies on postoperative delirium in elderly patients undergoing hip replacement: A single center randomized controlled trial.

Study Objective: Postoperative delirium (POD) is a common after hip replacement. Intraoperative blood pressure management may affect postoperative delirium. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of different blood pressure management strategies on POD.

Microarray analysis of differential gene expression profile in peripheral blood cells of patients with human essential hypertension.

The polygenic nature of essential hypertension and its dependence on environmental factors pose a challenge for biomedical research. We hypothesized that the analysis of gene expression profiles from peripheral blood cells would distinguish patients with hypertension from normotensives. In order to test this, total RNA from peripheral blood cells was isolated.

[Mass screening prostate cancer and clinical comparison].

Objective: To investigate the clinical value of the mass screening by analyzing the features of prostate cancer between mass screening patients and clinical patients.

Methods: From January 2000 to January 2008, 441 cases of prostate cancer (including 122 patients from clinical diagnosis and 319 patients from mass screening 23 183 men who were more than 50 years old) were analyzed from age, digital rectal examination (DRE), serum prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels and range, the Gleason's score and grade, clinical staging and therapy.

Results: 42.

[Diagnosis and treatment of non-specific granulomatous prostatitis: a report of 32 cases].

Objective: To discuss the diagnosis and treatment of non-specific granulomatous prostatitis (NSGP).

Methods: Thirty-two cases of NSGP were diagnosed by puncture biopsy under transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) and treated with antibiotics and other medicines from September, 2000 to May, 2006.

Results: Pathomorphologically, NSGP was basically characterized by granuloma with vessels or grand alveoli in the center.

[Transrectal ultrasound: an applicable diagnostic approach to chronic prostatitis].

Objective: To assess the application value of transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) in the diagnosis of chronic prostatitis.

Methods: TRUS and examination of prostatic secretion (EPS) were used in the diagnosis of 3 500 cases of chronic prostatitis from September, 2000 to May, 2006.

Results: Lower resonance of the inner gland, low-level echo, uneven echo light spots, incomplete outlines and unsmooth borderlines were found in 2279 cases (65.
