Wireshark-users: [Wireshark-users] what does "TCP segment of a reassembled PDU" mean?

When downloading a big file from the server, initially the info in the list column of wireshark sound reasonable. However, as the downloading process ends(using totally about 60 secs), the time stamp in wireshark console just passed 30 secs. And in the next 60-30=30 secs, only "TCP segment of a reassembled PDU" is shown in the list column, while the detail info of each these packets are still reasonable.
 
Then 2 questions:
1.what does "TCP segment of a reassembled PDU" mean?
2.If i do not want to see "TCP segment of a reassembled PDU", how can i view the correct info just as those in the first "30 secs"?
 
Thanks
