Objective To detect the expression of TRIM24 in uroepithelium cell carcinoma of bladder(BUCC)and analyze the relationship be?tween its expression and clinical pathological factors. Methods Immunohistochemical methods were employed to evaluate protein level of TRIM24 in BUCC. Results TRIM24 expression was observed in the nuclear compartments of tumor cells,while normal epithelia of bladder tissues exhibited negative results. For 72 BUCC tissues,TRIM24 overexpression(score≥4)was observed in 41.6%of cases(30/72). TRIM24 expression correlat?ed with invasive depth(P=0.029)and patients with high TRIM24 expression had high grade of BUCC(P=0.043). Conclusion There was sig?nificant over expression of TRIM24 in BUCC,which was correlated with poor differentiation and high grade of BUCC. It may become a candidate tar?get gene for the treatment of human uroepithelium cell carcinoma of bladder.

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasound bladder detrusor wall thickness (DWT) measurement for female bladder outlet obstruction (FBOO) and investigate the application of this non-invasive method for diagnosis of FBOO.Methods DWT was measured by linear ultrasound (7.5 MHz) either at a filling volume of 50% of cystometric capacity or at 250 ml filling in 93 women undergoing pressure flow study (PFS) for lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS).FBOO was defined as maximal flow rate (Qmax) of less than 12 ml/s combined with a detrusor pressure at maximal flow rate (Pdet Qmax)greater than 25 cm H2O.All the patients were divided into 2 groups according to FBOO and non-FBOO.The age,urodynamic parameters and DWT of the 2 groups were compared.Meanwhile DWT was evaluated for diagnosing BOO through receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.ResultsThe age (61.2 ± 8.3 vs 59.9 ± 7.7 years,P =0.44) and maximal cystometric capacity (292.2 ± 82.3 vs 308.1 ± 87.5 ml,P =0.37 ) between the 2 groups had no significant difference.DWT was significantly higher ( P =0.00 ) in FBOO group (42 cases,DWT 1.8 ±0.3 mm) compared to non-FBOO group (51 cases,1.4 ±0.2 mm).Furthermore maximal detrusor pressure (43.1 ± 11.2 vs 16.2 ± 7.1 cm H2O,P =0.00),Pdet Qmax (34.3 ±8.2 vs 13.1 ±7.8 cm n2O,P =0.00),Qmax(7.4 ±3.2 vs 17.4 ±4.1 ml/s,P =0.00),voided volume (157.1 ±63.7 vs 251.2 ±77.4 ml,P=0.00) and post-void residual volume (117.5 ±71.3 vs 37.7 ± 18.1 ml,P =0.00) had significant differences between the 2 groups.For a diagnosis of FBOO,DWT of 1.9 mm or greater had a positive predictive value of 100%,a negative predictive value of 62%,specificity of 100% and sensitivity of 38%.ROC analysis revealed that DWT had a high predictive value for FBOO with an area under the curve of 0.88 ± 0.06.Conclusions Ultrasound DWT measurement for FBOO is non-invasive,convenient and reliable.DWT 1.9 mm or greater assessed by ultrasound has a high predictive value and specificity for FBOO and can replace PFS in some extent.However,this cutoff value needs to be validated in multiple center and larger population study.

0. 05). Conclusions The post-transcription control for survivin gene may be involved in the mechanism of prostate carcinoma's dependency or refractoriness to androgen.

Objective To investigate the effects of surgery combined with immunochemotherapy on peripheral blood T lymphocyte subsets and C -reactive protein ( CRP) in patients with single renal cell carcinoma.Methods From June 2015 to June 2017,ninety patients with single-renal clear cell carcinoma who underwent radical resection of kidney in the Fourth Affiliated Hospital of China Medical University were selected ,and they were confirmed by preoperative ultrasound,CT and MRI diagnosis of unilateral renal space -occupying lesions.All patients were treated with kidney cancer immunochemotherapy.The peripheral blood T lymphocyte subsets and the changes of CRP levels of the patients before and after operation and after immunochemotherapy were observed.Results The CRP level of peripheral blood before operation was (9.12 ±4.98)μg/L,which after operationwas (28.29 ±10.23)μg/L,which after immunochemotherapy was (2.34 ±0.97)μg/L,the CRP level of peripheral blood after operation was higher than that before operation ,and the CRP level after immunochemotherapy was lower than that before surgery ,the difference was statistically significant ( F =6.78, P <0.05).The CD+3, CD+3CD+8,CD+4/CD+8levels before operation were (59.78 ±5.50)%,(34.56 ±6.23)%,(1.05 ±0.58)%,respectively,which after operation were (68.91 ± 7.49)%,(33.60 ±7.59)%,(0.98 ±0.76)%,respectively,which after immunochemotherapy were (62.31 ± 5.90)%,(21.90 ±4.55)%,(1.90 ±0.34)%,respectively.The CD+3level after operation was significantly higher than that before operation and after immunochemotherapy ,and the CD +3CD+8levels after immunochemotherapy were significantly lower than that before and after operation , and the CD +4/CD+8level after immunochemotherapy was significantly higher than that before and after operation ,the differences were statistically significant (F=6.98,8.12, 7.23,all P<0.05).Conclusion The immunochemotherapy can improve the expression level of peripheral blood T lymphocyte subgroup and CRP in patients with single -renal clear cell carcinoma who underwent radical resection of kidney,which can provide a reasonable basis for diagnosis and treatment of renal carcinoma .

Objective:To analyze the clinical features of patients with pyogenic liver abscess (PLA) and the application of mNGS in PLA, thus to provide reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment.Methods:The demographic and clinical data of 549 patients with liver abscess admitted to Zhongshan Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University from December 2015 to June 2020 were analyzed retrospectively. According to the detection of Klebsiella pneumoniae in 246 patients with positive etiological test results, the patients were divided into two groups: KPLA group and nKPLA group, and clinical characteristics of the two groups were compared. At the same time, the application value of mNGS in PLA was analyzed.Results:Among the 549 patients, the main clinical symptom of PLA was fever ( n= 503, 91.6%) and other clinical symptoms included chills and abdominal pain. Most patients had a single abscess ( n= 464, 84.5%) located in the right lobe ( n = 368, 67.0%), with a size between 5 and 10 cm ( n= 341, 62.1%). A total of 246 patients had positive etiological test results, including 202 KPLA patients which was the main pathogen of liver abscess. The prevalence of diabetes and fatty liver was higher in KPLA patients ( P < 0.05), but there were more culture of liver positive factors in nKPLA patients ( P < 0.001). Among the 109 patients with traditional microbiological results, 92 patients were suspected to KPLA (Klebsiella pneumoniae), of which 14 patients (15.2%) were multidrug resistant (MDR) infection; 17 patients were suspected to nKPLA, of which 10 patients (58.8%) were MDR infection; the incidence of MDR infection in patients with nKPLA was significantly higher than that in patients with KPLA ( P < 0.05). The positive rate of mNGS in plasma was 85.2%, the positive rate of traditional microbial culture in plasma was 14.8%, the positive rate of mNGS in pus was 96.2% and traditional microbial culture in pus was 65.4%. The positive rate of traditional culture was significantly lower than that of mNGS ( P < 0.05). Conclusions:PLA is usually manifested as fever, single and at the right lobe of the liver. Klebsiella pneumoniae is the most common pathogenic bacteria of PLA, which is more common in patients with diabetes and fatty liver, while non-Klebsiella pneumoniae is relatively more common in patients with culture of liver positive factors. The positive detection rate of mNGS is high, which has a unique advantage in pathogen detection.
