Objective To investigate the relationship between non muscle-invasive bladder can-cer and polymorphisms of DNA repair genes among Han nationality in Shanghai. Methods From January 2006 to June 2008, 94 patients with non muscle-invasive bladder cancer and 304 controls were enrolled. Known single nucleotide polymorphism(SNP) in the XPC, XPG, XRCC1 genes were detec-ted by TaqMan real-time PCR. After adjusted for age, sex, and smoking, interaction effects of the genotypes and non muscle-invasive bladder cancer risk, genotypes and clinical and pathological features of bladder cancer were analyzed using unconditional Logistic regression. Results After adjusted for age, sex, and smoking, the XPC 939 Lys/Gln, XPC 939Gin/Gin genotype and XPG 1104 Asp/His, XPG 1104 His/His genotype were more frequent in patients with non muscle-invasive bladder cancer, adjusted OR=1.89, 95%CI 1.14-3. 23 and OR=1.07,95%CI 0.86-1.87, respectively. The XRCC1 Arg399Gln polymorphisms were not significantly associated with non muscle-invasive bladder cancer, adjusted OR= 1.15, 95% CI 0.55-2.40. There were no significant associations between tumor clinical and pathological features in patients who possessed either the XPC or XPG polymor-phisms (P>0.05). Conclusion XPC Lys939Gln and XPG Asp1104His may modulate non muscle-invasive bladder cancer risk among Han nationality in Shanghai.

Objective To evaluate the surgical technique,urinary continence and clinical efficacy of extraperitoneal laparoscopic radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer. Methods This series included 28 cases of prostate cancer aged 60 -75 years (mean,68 years). The PSA level ranged from 0. 7 ng/ml to 23. 6 ng/ml. TNM classification showed T1N0M0 tumor in 11 cases, T2N0M0 tumor in 15 and T3aN0M0 tumor in 2. All cases underwent extraperitoneal laparoscopic radical prostatectomy. The functional reconstructive technique consisted of preservation of the urethral and bladder outlet sphincter muscles, and reconstruction of the bladder neck. Results All the operations were successful. The operative time was 180 - 380 min( mean, 240 min) ,and the blood loss was 400 - 1200 ml( mean,800 ml) . All the catheter were removed 2 weeks after surgery. Mild urinary incontinence occurred in 3 cases, and it improved after supportive treatment. The PSA level was 0. 02 -0. 10 ng/ml 3 months after operation. No recurrence of prostate cancer was found during the follow-up of 1 month-2 years. Conclusions Extraperitoneal laparoscopic radical prostatectomy is safe and effiective for the treatment of prostate cancer. It can be widely applied in clinical practice.

Objective To investigate the proportion , risk factors and tendency of change of stone composition in recurrent urolithiasis .Methods Eighty-five recurrent urolithiasis patients from 2002 to 2014 were enrolled in this retrospective cohort study .There were 61 male and 24 female patients with a median age of 51 (21-89) years at initial events.Among those patients, 70 had two events, 12 had three events, and 3 had more than 3 events.Compositions of initial and recurrent stones were measured by infrared spectrophotometry.Stone type, recurrence interval and recurrence frequency were studied as potential risk factors for composition change . Chi square test and logistic regression analysis were employed in the statistical analysis.Results Stone composition changed during recurrence in 26 patients ( 30.6%) . Univariate analysis showed the risk ratio of composition change in the patients with recurrence interval of 1-5 years was 0.518 (95%CI, 0.277-0.967, P<0.05) when compared with those of less than 1 year or more than 5 years.Logistic regression analysis showed the odds ratio of recurrence interval of 1-5 years was 0.231 (95%CI, 0.075-0.707, P=0.010).The mutual conversion between calcium oxalate and infection stones was mostly observed when stone composition changed during recurrence .Twenty percent of calcium oxalate stones changed to infection stones and 29.2% of infection stones changed to calcium oxalate .
Conclusions Stone composition changes in about one third patients of recurrent urolithiasis .The mutual conversion between calcium oxalate and infection stones is the most common change .Recurrence interval is an independent risk factor to predict composition change .Repeated stone analysis should be suggested to patients with recurrent interval of less than 1 year or more than 5 years.
