Objective To investigate the surgical technique and clinical effectiveness of retroperitoneal laparoscopic nephroureterectomy with transurethral bladder-cuff excision and open nephroureterectomy in pelvis carcinoma. Methods We retrospectively analysed the records of all 62 patients who underwent retroperitoneal laparoscopic or open nephroureterectomy in Tianjin Dagang Hospital or the Second Affiliated Hospital of Tianjin Medical University from July 2001 to July 2009. Variables analyse were compared including operative time, blood loss, turning to open operation, complications, length of stay, tumor recurrence and metastasis. Groups were compared using Student's t-test, and a probability (P) value of less than 0.05 was taken to indicate statistical significance. Results The respective mean operative duration [(47.34±39.16) vs (118.17±44.65) ml], length of hospital stay [(9.15±2.19) vs (11.64±3.71) d], time to ambulation [(3.58±0.79) vs (5.67±1.24) d]and blood loss [(70.64±27.33) vs (118.17±44.65) ml]in retroperitoneal laparoscopic nephroureterectomy with transurethral bladder-cuff excision group was significantly reduce to open nephroureterectomy group (t = 3.3167, 2.0587, 8.0494, 5.1777, P ＜0.05). There was no significantly difference between two groups in complication of during operation and post operation [4.8 % (2/42) vs 5.0 %(1/20), 0 vs 0, respectively](P ＞0.05). 4 cases were failed and conversed to open surgery in retroperitoneal laparoscopic nephroureterectomy group. During the follow up period range from 8-48 months, there was no significantly difference between two groups in tumor recurrence and metastasis [4.8 % (2/42) vs 5.0 % (1/20),2.4 % (1/42) vs 5.0 % (1/20), respectively](P ＞0.05). Conclusion Retroperitoneal laparoscopy in upper urinary tract transitional carcinoma uses a small incision, incurs less blood loss, and allows for a more rapid recovery, suggesting it is a safe and effective method for treating patients with renal and pelvis cancer.

Objective:To research the relationship of urinary cytology positive rate with the grade and stage of primary ureter uroepithelium cancer.Methods:A total of 104 cases of primary ureter uroepithelium cancer were recruited in this study.The urine of all paitents was collected for preoperative urinary cytology de-tection.The urinary cytology detection rates were compared among different grades and stages of primary ureter uroepithelium cancer.Results:The overall unnary cytology positive rate of primary ureter uroepithelium cancer was 34.26%.The overall urinary cytology positive rate was 43.59%in the advanced stage group and 11.54%in the low stage group,with a significant difference(X2=8.740, P=0.003).The difference in positive rate between the advanced stage group and the low stage group in the high grade with inferior segment group of primary ureter uroepithelium cancer was statistically significant(X2=10.628,P=0.001).The difference in positive rate between the advanced stage group and the low stage group in the high grade group of primary ureter uroepithelium cancer was statistically significant(X2=5.678,P=0.01 7).The difference in positive rate be-tween the high grade group and the low grade group in low stage group of primary ureter uroepithelium can-cer was statistically significant(X2=12.860,P=0.001).Conclusion:The unnary cytology positive rate of primary ureter uroepithelium cancer of high grade and low stage is higher.

Objective To observe the effects of Jiuxieling granules on rats with ulcerative colitis and explore its mechanism.Methods Ulcerative colitis models were established by immune method combined with local stimulation of 5% acetic acid.Wistar rats were randomly divided into control,model,positive control and low,middle,high dose Jiuxieling granules group.Rats in positive control group were treated with sulfasalazine,and those in three treatment groups were treated with low,middle and high dosage of Jiuxieling granules respectively for 14 days continuously.24 hours after last administration,the rats were killed to obtain colon mucous membrane to test GSH-Px,SOD,MDA,NO,tNOS and iNOS concentration of the homogenate of colon mucous membrane.Results Jiuxieling granules could markedly improve the levels of GSH-Px and SOD activity,whereas decrease the levels of MDA,NO,TNOS and iNOS.Conclusion Jiuxieling granules exert its marked curative effects on rats of ulcerative colonitis by resisting oxygen free radical lesion,inhibiting the generation of NO and NOS,and enhancing the activity of antioxidase.

ObjectiveTo explore the diagnosis and surgical treatment techniques for the patients with primary presacral tumor.Methods Data from 31 patients with primary presacral tumor admitted into our Department for Surgery from Jan. 1999 to Jar. 2009 were retrospectively analyzed.All patients underwent surgical treatment,among them,10 received per-sacroiliac or per-perineum approaches to remove the tumors,18 receivedper-abdomentumorectomy, and3receivedcombinedper-peritoneumandper-perineum tumorectomy.Results Patients visited the doctor while exhibiting the compression symptoms by the the tumors.Final diagnosis could be reached with the help of rectal touch,B-mode ultrasound,computerized tomography,or magnetic resonance imaging.Complete resection was performed in 28 patients.Partial resection was performed in 3 patients.Fractionated resection was successfully performed in 2 patients with chronic infection or sinus tract.ConclusionThe primary presacral tumor should be surgically resected once final diagnosised and without surgical contraindications.Pelvic plexus should be preserved and presacral hemorrhage should be prevented.The tumor should be resected as complete as possible.

Objective To investigate the expression of TLR2 and HIF-1α in pancreatic cancer and explore the relationship between TLR2 or HIF-1α protein and the clinical or pathological changes in pancreatic cancer. Methods The mRNA of TLR2 and HIF-1α in 30 cases of pancreatic cancer and its adjacent tissues were detected with real-time PCR and with immunohistochemical methods in 65 cases of pancreatic cancer and 38 cases of corresponding adjacent tissues. The relationship between TLR2 or HIF-1α and pathologic features of pancreatic cancer was analyzed. The correlation between TLR2 and HIF-1α in pancreatic cancer was also assessed. Kaplan-Meier method was used to assess the impact of TLR2 or HIF1αexpression on survival. Results The relative quantification of TLR2 mRNA and HIF-1α mRNA in pancreatic cancer tissues was 0.84±0.17 and 0.87±0.11, respectively, which was significantly higher than that in adjacent tissues 0.70±0.13 and 0.68±0.13 respectively,P＜0.05. The protein expression of TLR2 and HIF-1α in pancreatic cancer tissues was 63. 10% and 70.8%, respectively, significantly higher than that in adjacent tissues (34.20% and 36.8%, respectively). There was no significant correlation between the expression of TLR2 or HIF-1α protein and the age, gender, tumor location, the degree of differentiation in patients with pancreatic cancer (P＞0.05). However, there was significant correlation between the expression of TLR2 or HIF-1α protein and tumor size, lymph node metastasis, venous invasion and clinical staging. TLR2 and HIF-1α had a significant impact on survival. Conclusion TLR2 and HIF-1α overexpressed in pancreatic cancer and TLR2 signaling pathway may promote development of the pancreatic cancer with HIF-1α together.

Background Dry eye is the most common ocular surface disease.Anterior segment pattern of optical coherent tomography (OCT) is able to be used to assess the tear meniscus directly and accurately.Objective This study was to evaluate the correlation between measuring outcomes of tear meniscus by anterior segment module of OCT with signs and symptoms of dry eye.Methods A retrospective serial cases-observational study was designed.Thirty-six patients who completed Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) and got a score more than 20 were enrolled in the First Hospital of Peking University from September to October,2010 under the informed consent.The upper and lower tear meniscus height (U/LTMH,μm),depth (U/LTMD,μm) and cross sectional area (U/LMA,mm2) were measured with the anterior segment module of OCT (RTVue.pitch).A series of clinical tests were performed,including tear film interferometry,break-up time (BUT),fluorescein corneal staining,lissamine green conjunctival staining and Schirmer Ⅰ test (S Ⅰ t).The correlations of measuring outcomes of tear meniscus by anterior segment module of OCT with dry eye-related examinations were analyzed with Spearman correlation coefficients.Results The values of UTMH,UTMD,UMA were (232±56) μm,(156±53) μm,(0.021 ±0.008) mm2,respectively,and the values of LTMH,LTMD,LMA were (222 ± 72) μm,(163 ± 65) μm,(0.020 ± 0.006) mm2,respectively.No significant differences were found in the measuring values between the upper and the lower tear meniscus (all at P＞0.05).The quantitative values of tear meniscus were not significantly correlated with the OSDI scores or tear film interferometry grade.Significant correlations were seen between UTMH,UTMD,UMA and BUT (r=0.46,P=0.01 ;r=0.40,P=0.02;r=0.43,P=0.01).LTMH,LTMD,LMA were positively correlated with BUT (r=0.61,P=0.00;r=0.64,P=0.00;r=0.64,P=0.00) and S Ⅰ t (r=0.54,P=0.02 ;r=0.46,P=0.01;r=0.55,P=0.01) as well as negatively correlated with fluorescein cornealstaining (r=-0.37,P=0.04;r=-0.37,P=0.04;r=-0.41,P =0.05) and lissamine green conjunctival staining (r =-0.56,P =0.01 ; r =-0.37,P =0.04 ; r =-0.47,P =0.00).Conclusions Anterior segment module of OCT is an effective approach to the measurement of tear meniscus.The measuring outcomes of anterior segment of OCT are associated with dry eye-related signs.

Objective To review the clinical and pathologic features of xanthogranulomatous cystitis (XC). Methods The clinical and pathologic data of 3 patients (2 females and 1 male, mean age, 37.3 year, age range, 24-50 year) with XC were reported in combination with review of the relevant literature. All 3 cases had recurrences cystitis-like symptoms, 2 cases had lower abdominal pain.1 case found low abdominal palpable mass during physical examination. Ultra sonography and CT revealed solid mass at the dome of the bladder. Partial cystectomy was performed on 2 patients, the rest 1 was case treated as urachal carcinoma.Results Postoperative pathology confirmed XC. Pathological features were as follows: xanthoma cells (lipidladenmacrophages), multinucleated giant cells and cholesterol clefts. With 12-36 (mean 28) months follow-up, there was no recurrence and cystitis-like symptoms on these patients. Conclusions XC is a rare disease. XC is usually identified by pathology. The presence of a concomitant neoplasm should be considered when the diagnosis of XC is made.Surgical resection could be a curative treatment.
