Objective To observe the clinical effect of oblique supine lithotomy position rigid single-access percutaneous nephrolithotomy combined with FURS in treatment of complex urinary tract stones. Methods From May 2013 to January 2016, 40 cases of multiple kidney stones and staghorn calculi patients underwent oblique supine lithotomy position balloon establish standard single renal access, using percutaneous percutaneous combind with FURS, clinical data of patients, including operative time, blood loss, stone stone clearance rate, hospitalstay, incidence of complications and other indicators. Results The patients were successfully implemented Phase I single-access surgery, the median time 52.5 min, stone stone clearance rate of 100%, before and after surgery no difference in the amount of bleeding, no blood transfusion patients, followed up for 3 months to six months, no significant concurrent operation disease. Conclusion Oblique supine lithotomy bit single-access percutaneous percutaneous combined with FURS treatment of complex renal calculi can improve stone clearance rate, increased patient comfort during surgery to avoid damage to the kidneys multi-channel, shorter operative time, treatment obvious.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of tubeless of modular flexible ureteroscope combined with ultramini nephrostomy tract for the treatment of upper ureteral calculi in paediatric patients. Methods 20 cases of children with upper ureteral calculi (age≤7 years old), in our hospital underline of modular flexible ureteroscope combined with ultramini nephrostomy tract lithotripsy, the stones located on the left side in 12 cases, 8 cases on the right. The average age of children in the 4 years (2 to 7 years), the average diameter of stones 1.0 cm (0.7 ~1.5 cm), multiple 9 (including 3 cases of multiple bilateral, 6 cases of unilateral multiple) single stones 11 cases. Ultrasound-guided percutaneous nephrolithotomy establish supermicro channel (F11), application modular and flexible uretero﹣scope holmium laser lithotripsy systems. Results Tubeless of modular flexible ureteroscope combined with ultramini nephrostomy tract calculi Clear Phase 91%(21/23), 2 cases of bilateral stones with phased surgical treatment, surgi﹣cal staging stone clearance rate was 100 % (23/23). Postoperative hemoglobin decline was no significant change. Children do not need a blood transfusion, creatinine, blood urea nitrogen and CRP were no significant differences in change, not placed before and after surgery and renal fistula DJ tube (no tube-based). The mean postoperative hospi﹣tal stay was two days, followed up for 6 months to 1 year, all patients had no long-term complications. Conclusion Tubeless of modular flexible ureteroscope combined with ultramini nephrostomy tract for the treatment of Upper ureteral calculi in paediatric patients is an effective and safety method, can shorten hospital stay.

Objective Comparing and analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of rigid and flexible ureteroscopy in treatment of renal multiple stones or staghorn calculi. Methods 80 patients of renal multiple stones and staghorn calculi from May 2012 to March 2015 were randomly divided into two groups, group A: flexible ureteroscopy as adjuvant technique of balloon dilatation to establish standards channel of rigid nephrolithotripsy, group B: rigid ureteroscopy as auxiliary to flexible ureteroscopy nephrolithotomy. Clinical data of the two groups including operative time, blood loss, stones clearance rate, hospital stay and other indicators of surgical complications were comparatively analyzed. Results TAll the patients received successful surgical procedures. The operation time in group A was 50.4 min, gravel time was 25.6 min, while operation time in group B was 90.3 min, gravel time was 70.3 min. The differences between the two groups was statistically significant. Other indicators such as blood loss, stones clearance rate, complication rate showed no statistical significance. Conclusion Combined techniques of rigid and flexible ureteroscopy was proceeded widely to improve stone clearance rate when dealing with multiple stones and staghorn calculi, while rigid-ureterscopy-based combination has advantages of shorter operation time and this combination should be promoted in top units.

Objective To investigate the associations between expression of Tensin1 protein and clinicpathological characteristics and prognoses of gastric cancer (GC) patients.Methods The retrospective casecontrol study was conducted.The clinicopathological data of 163 GC patients who were admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Jiangsu University between July 31,2011 and December 31,2013 were collected.The GC tissues and adjacent normal tissues were taken to paraffin imbedding,and then were detected by immunohistochemistry.Observation indicator:(1) expressions of Tensinl protein in GC tissues and adjacent normal tissues;(2) association between expression of Tensinl protein in GC tissues and clinicopathological characteristics;(3) followup and survival situations;(4) prognostic factors analysis.Follow-up using telephone interview was performed to detect survival up to January 1,2017.Measurement data with skewed distribution were described as M (range).Count data were analyzed using the chi-square test or pairing chi-square test.The survival curve and rate were respectively drawn and calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method,and Log-rank test was used for survival analysis.The univariate analysis and multivariate analysis were done using the COX roportional hazard model.Results (1) Expressions of Tensinl protein in GC tissues and adjacent normal tissues:immunohistochemistry showed that Tensinl protein in GC tissues and adjacent normal tissues mainly expressed in cytoplasm.Of 163 patients,154 (66 with high expression and 88 with low expression) and 9 had respectively positive and negative expressions of Tensinl protein in GC tissues;79 (37 with high expression and 42 with low expression) and 84 had respectively positive and negative expressions of Tensinl protein in adjacent normal tissues,with statistically significant differences in positive expression ratio and expression levels (x2=64.65,12.93,P<0.05).(2) Association between expression of Tensinl protein in GC tissues and clinicopathological characteristics:high expression rate of Tensinl protein in GC tissues were respectively 31.34% (21/67) in GC patients with tumor metastases and 46.88% (45/96) in GC patients without tumor metastasis,with a statistically significant difference (x2 =3.95,P<0.05).(3) Follow-up and survival situations:all the 163 patients were followed up for 3.3-64.7 months,with a median time of 28.7 months.The 3-year cumulative disease-free survival rate and cumulative overall survival rate in GC tissues were 63.12%,74.22% in 66 patients with high expression of Tensinl protein and 47.30%,55.74% in 97 patients with low and negative expressions of Tensin1 protein,showing statistically significant differences in above indicators (x2 =4.58,4.11,P<0.05).Survival analysis of subgroups showed that 3-year cumulative disease-free survival rate in GC tissues of patients with maximum tumor dimension ≥ 5 cm,nerve and / or vascular invasions and stage Ⅲ of TNM staging were 45.98%,62.79%,52.75% in patients with high expression of Tensin1 protein and 18.11%,31.10%,32.80% in patients with low and negative expressions of Tensin1 protein,with a statistically significant difference (x2 =5.85,7.89,4.96,P<0.05).The 3-year cumulative overall survival rate was respectively 66.00%,75.75%,67.93% in patients with high expression of Tensin1 protein and 30.74%,40.15%,44.67% in patients with low and negative expressions of Tensinl protein,with statistically significant differences (x2 =7.59,9.62,4.32,P < 0.05).(4) Prognostic factors analysis:results of univariate analysis showed that maximum tumor dimension,histological grade,nerve and / or vascular invasions,postoperative TNM staging,postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy and expression of Tensin1 protein were related factors affecting prognoses of GC patients [hazard ratio (HR) =3.66,2.45,2.17,3.36,0.41,0.54,95% confidence interval (CI):2.09-6.41,1.43-4.19,1.17-4.04,1.52-7.41,0.23-0.72,0.31-0.96,P<0.05].Results of multivariate analysis showed that maximum tumor dimension ≥ 5 cm and grade Ⅲ of histological grade were independent risk factors affecting prognoses of GC patients (HR=3.21,2.17,95%CI:1.63-6.32,1.18-3.99,P<0.05),and postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy and high expression of Tensin1 protein were independent protective factors affecting prognoses of GC patients (HR=0.50,0.44,95%CI:0.28-0.90,0.24-0.82,P<0.05).Conclusion High expression of Tensin1 protein may inhibit GC metastasis,and it is also an independent protective factor affecting prognoses of GC patients.
