Objective To investigate the incidence of renal dysfunction among patients received radical nephrectomy during 5-year follow-up and to discover the risk factors for chronic kidney dysfunction (CKD).Methods Data of 339 patients who underwent radical nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma between Jan.2006 to Dec.2007 were investigated,and those who suffered renal dysfuntion before surgery or lost follow-up were excluded.Finally,148 patients were enrolled in this retrospective study.GFR after surgery were replaced by eGFR which were calculated with the abbreviated equation of MDRD.It will be defined as CKD when eGFR was less than 60 ml/(min · 1.73 m2).Postoperative occurence rate of CKD was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier methods.Rank sum test and chi-square test were used for the univariate analysis in term of CKD between groups.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to judge the independent risk factors for CKD.Results Patients were followed up for 42-60 months.CKD occurred in 58 cases,and the 5 year cumulative incidence of CKD was 42.7％.As many as 17.4％ of the patients with a normal eGFR during the first 3 months follow-up would progress to CKD 5 years later.Clinical characteristics,including age at surgery,weight,body mass index,hypertension,preoperative total GFR and contralateral GFR,complications,size of tumor,pathologic type,eGFR calculated shortly after operation,were significantly different between the CKD group and the normal group (P＜0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis shows that age at surgery (P =0.016,OR =1.106),size of tumor (P =0.048,OR =0.680) and eGFR calculated within one week postoperatively (P=0.002,OR=0.874) were the independent risk factors for postoperative CKD.Conclusions The incidence of CKD after radical nephrectomy in patients with renal cell carcinoma is not uncommon.The of age at surgery,size of tumor and eGFR value calculated within one week postroperatively have a close relation with the incidence of postoperative CKD.

Objective To observe the effect of intravesical chemotherapy in papillary urothelial neoplasm of low malignant potential (PUNLMP) urinary bladder after transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TUR-Bt). Methods 44 cases of PUNLMP confirmed by pathological examination from Jan 2004 to Dec 2013 were retrospectively analyzed. Clinical manifestation: 24 asymptomatic, 19 gross hematuria and 1 abdominal discomfort. All cases were treated by TUR-Bt and immediately administered by intravesical instillation of 40 mg HCPT once, then 32 cases (A group) underwent additional intravesical instillation of HCPT once, and 12 cases (B group) underwent instillation qw for 8 times. Results PUNLMP cases accouted for 2.28 %(44/1 926) of bladder neoplasms admitted during the same period. There were 32 males and 12 females. 39 patients had multiple tumors, and 5 had single. All of cases were followed up with the medial follow-up time of 82 months (16-136 months), only one case in B group recurred after 14 months, and postoperatively without pathological progression. The difference of recurrence rates between two groups had no statistical significance (P=0.273). Conclusions PUNLMP has low incidence rate and is more common among middle-aging males. Doctors should consider PUNLMP when patients with bladder neoplasm are asymptomatically detected. Immediate instillation combined with additional one postoperatively could reduce the recurrence rate of PUNLMP obviously with satisfying prognosis. However, maintenance instillation does not enhance effect.

Objective To evaluate the effect of different degrees of pubic symphysis diastasis on the stress distribution of posterior pelvic ring. Methods Eight embalmed pelvis and articulated proximal 1/3 of the femurs were harvested for this study. The samples were positioned as both legs standing straight and loaded to 600 N on the on the CSS-44020 biomechanical machine. The strain gages were adhered to 38 sites distributed symmetrically on the two sides of sacroiliac joint, anterior sacrum and posterior ilium. The strain gages were connected to WS3811 digital strainometer to record strain changes of the intact pelvic ring and at 1,2, 2.5 cm of pubic symphysis diastasis. Results Elastic changes occurred in the cortical bone of the pelvis under 600 N load. The symmetrical sites had similar strain changes without significant difference in the intact pelvic ring and at 1,2, 2.5 cm of pubic symphysis diastasis ( P ＞0.05 ). The sites with more strain changes were distributed on the iliofemoral arch in the intact pelvis.The strain changes were increased significantly frona the posterolateral sites to the iliofemoral arch. But the strain changes on the iliofemoral arch were decreased significantly during pubic symphysis diastasis.Conclusion The conduction of vertical load runs along the sacrofemoral arch in the intact pelvic ring and redistributes posterolaterally during pubic symphysis diastasis.

Objective To investigate the creatinine level of wound drainage and the changes of serum creatinine after radical nephrectomy or partial nephrectomy in patients with renal cell carcinoma,to explore the feasibility of testing creatinine level to predict urine leakage after surgery and to compare the influence on rcnal function after different kinds of operations.Methods 65 patients data were analyzed,in which 31 patients had undergone partial nephrectomy and 34 had radical nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma from March 2012 to July 2012.The level of creatinine in serum and wound drainage were detected within 24 hours after surgery.Also,the serum creatinine were redetected 3 months later.Results The creatinine level of wound drainage were significantly lower than that in serum in both groups [(99.94±21.10) μmol/L vs (114.61± 25.09) μmol/L,P =0.000].Urine leakage was observed in only one patient (2.9 ％) after partial nephrectomy,which his level of creatinine in serum and wound drainage was 107 μmol/L and 686μmol/L,respectively.The other 30 patients' creatinine level of wound drainage were also significantly lower than serum after partial nephrectomy [(92.90±26.21) μmol/L vs (99.83±28.77) μmol/L,P =0.021).Although the level of creatinine in the wound drainage was not significantly different between these two groups (P =0.239),the serum creatinine was statistical lower in partial nephrectomy group than that of radical nephrectomy group (P =0.035).Also,after three months,the partial nephrectomy group had a lower level of serum creatinine [(81.43±12.82) μmol/L vs (106.53±21.73) μmol/1,P =0.001].Conclusion Partial nephrectomy has advantages in protecting renal function when compared with radical nephrectomy.The level of creatinine in wound drainage is significantly lower than serum.The level of creatinine in wound drainage is a predictive indicator for diagnosing urine leakage.

OBJECTIVEGaultheria yunnanensis. are used widespreadly in the south of China to treat rheumatoid arthritis. The aim of this study was to provide an experimental basis for G. yunnanensis to therapy rheumatoid arthritis.

METHODWe prepared water extracts, ethanol extracts, n-butanol extracts, ethyl acetate extracts and the rest of ethanol extracts from G. yunnanensis. Then, the n-butanol extracts were applied to macroporous resin and eluted with water, 30% ethanol, and 95% ethanol. Rheumatoid arthritis was induced by Freund's complete adjuvant injected into right postpedes in Wistar rats which was utilized to elucidate the anti-inflammatory effect of different extracted liquid of G. yunnanensis. Rats were intragastric injected (ig) with extracts as experimental group or normal saline as control group.

RESULTFreund's complete adjuvant induced arthritis was successfully established: paw edema were increased after Freund's complete adjuvant injection, peaked at 2 or 3 day, then decreased, the paw edema were increased again at 7 or 8 day, and persisted 15 d. Water extracts, n-butanol extracts or ethyl acetate extracts could a significantlly decrease the paw edema as compared with the control group (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). The effect of n-butanol extracts was the most powerful. Further, n-butanol extracts eluant with water and 30% ethanol decreased the paw edema. The activity of extracts eluant with 30% ethanol was stronger than that of eluant with water.

CONCLUSIONG. yunnanensis displays considerable effects against Freund s complete adjuvant induced arthritis in rats, which is in concordance with clinical practice. n-Butanol extracts and both of the eluants with water and 30% ethanol produce a significant decrease in the paw edema. 30% ethanol eluants show a stronger activity than others. The effects against rheumatoid arthritis of different parts of G. yunnanensis differ in degree. It is deserved to explore the potential mechanisms of anti-inflammtion of the G. yunnanensis, especially the n-butanol extracts eluant with 30% ethanol.

Succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) defective renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is a new subtype of renal carcinoma newly identified by WHO(2016). Until now, only a few samples and a few cases have been reported retrospectively. This article reported a young female patient who was found to have a small tumor in the left kidney by physical examination and underwent left partial nephrectomy. The postoperative pathological result was SDH-RCC. There was no recurrence and metastasis of the tumor 3 months after operation.

Purpose: Reduced quality of life after cystectomy has made bladder preservation a popular research topic for muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). Previous research has indicated significant tumor downstaging after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC). However, maximal transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) was performed before NAC to define the pathology, impacting the real evaluation of NAC. This research aimed to assess real NAC efficacy without interference from TURBT and apply combined modality therapies guided by NAC efficacy. Materials and Methods: Patients with cT2-4aN0M0 MIBC were confirmed by cystoscopic biopsy and imaging. NAC efficacy was assessed by imaging, urine cytology, and cystoscopy with multidisciplinary team discussion. Definite responders (≤ T1) underwent TURBT plus concurrent chemoradiotherapy. Incomplete responders underwent radical cystectomy or partial cystectomy if feasible. The primary endpoint was the bladder preservation rate. Results: Fifty-nine patients were enrolled, and the median age was 63 years. Patients with cT3-4 accounted for 75%. The median number of NAC cycles was three. Definite responders were 52.5%. The complete response (CR) was 10.2%, and 59.3% of patients received bladder-sparing treatments. With a median follow-up of 44.6 months, the 3-year overall survival (OS) was 72.8%. Three-year OS and relapse-free survival were 88.4% and 60.0% in the bladder-sparing group but only 74.3% and 37.5% in the cystectomy group. The evaluations of preserved bladder function were satisfactory. Conclusion After stratifying MIBC patients by NAC efficacy, definite responders achieved a satisfactory bladder-sparing rate, prognosis, and bladder function. The CR rate reflected the real NAC efficacy for MIBC. This therapy is worth verifying through multicenter research.
