Question: symbolic computation

If

p_{x} = a*p + u*q;    (1)

q_{x} = -conjugate(u)*p - a*q;  (2)     # where a is complex parameter, p_{x} mean derivative of p w.r.t x

Define, u=p^2+conjugate(q)^2,  (3)  

Now take the derivative of (3) w.r.t x and by using (1) and (2), we get

 u_{x}=2(a*p^2 - conjugate(a)*conjugate(q)^2) + 2*(p^2 + conjugate(q)^2)*(p*q - conjugate(p)*conjugate(q)).  (4)

How to calculate the results (4) on maple?
