Objective To exploie the choices and timing of different treatment regimens of prostate cancer.Methods The complete clinical data of one case of localized high-risk prostate cancer was reported.The patient,aged 69 years old,was admitted to hospital with urinary frequency and dysuria for 2 years.Serum total PSA was 36.8ng/ml and prostate biopsy dignosed as prostate cancer.The Gleason score was 4 + 3,and the clinical stage was T2b N0M0.Results The patient underwent radical prostatectomy,salvage radiotherapy + androgen deprivation therapy,abiraterone,enzalutamide,Radium-223,docetaxel + prednisone chemotherapy and mitoxantrone + prednisone chemotherapy,which included almost all of the current domestic treatment regimens.The patient lived for 57 months from the initiation of treatment.Conclusions For the patients with high-risk prostate cancer,especially for elderly patients,they should firstly be recommended the treatment of radical radiotherapy + 2-3 years of androgen deprivation therapy.For young patients,radical prostatectomy + extended pelvic lymph node dissection as part of multi-modal therapies is considered to be a positive choice.However,for the patients with risk factors or recurrence after radical prostatectomy,the postoperative radiotherapy should be performed in order to reduce biochemical recurrence and improve local control.Currently,the order of choice of abiraterone,enzalutamide or docetaxel + prednisone chemotherapy,is based on the patient's situation,past history of treatment,symptoms,side effects as well as other related clinical features.

Objective To evaluate the clinical value of serum high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C)in the evaluation of synthetic function of the patients with liver diseases.Methods Abbott Aeroset automatic biochemical analyzer was used to detect serum HDL-C level in control group (30 cases) and liver disease group(87 cases).T test was used to analyze the differences of serum HDL-C level in liver disease group and control group,different liver disease groups and control group,and different liver disease groups.Results HDL-C level was (1.28 ±0.20)mmol/L in the control group,(0.77 ± 0.15)mmol/L in the liver disease group,and (0.81 ± 0.13)mmol/L in the hepatitis group,(0.68 ± 0.14)mmol/L in the liver cirrhosis group,(0.54 ± 0.05)mmol/L in the liver cancer group.The HDL-C level in liver disease group and hepatitis group,liver cirrhosis group,liver cancer group was significantly lower than that in the control group(t =15.5569,14.2463,45.4393,25.6344,all P ＜ 0.01).The HDL-C level in liver cirrhosis group and liver cancer group was significantly lower than that in hepatitis group (t =3.6583,16.9057,all P ＜ 0.01).The HDL-C level in liver cancer group was significantly lower than that in liver cirrhosis group(t =4.4103,P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion Serum HDL-C level can be used to evaluate synthetic function of the liver,the lower of serum HDL-C level,the more serious liver synthesis function is impaired.

Objective To discusse the influence of permeating perfluoropentane drops-encapsulated mesoporous silica nanocapsules (MSNC-PFP) on HIFU surface ablation in vitro bovine liver.Methods Fifity bovine liver tissues were divided into 5 groups:Control group,0.25 mg/ml group,0.50 mg/ml group,1.00 mg/ml group,2.00 mg/ml group according to the concentration of MSNC-PFP.The synergistic agent was injected along the ablation line path under the guiding of ultrasound.The surface ablation model was structured by 6 coagulation necrosis side by using HIFU linear scanning,inner region without melting,and the ultrasonographic changes were observed in the melt area.The coagulation necrosis range was assessed by TTC staining,and necrosis degree was observed by HE staining.The coagulation necrosis volume was measured,the coverage index (CI),external volume index (EI),energy efficiency factor (EEF) were used to evaluate the ablation effect in each group.Results The MSNC-PFP more than 1.00 mg/ml was shown as strong echo in ultrasonic image,fade after 3-5 min.The grey value was changed in HIFU ablation area related to the concentration of MSNC-PFP.The total ablation volume of 0.50 mg/ml group,1.00 mg/ml group,2.00 mg/ml group were more than control group,the EEF was lower than that of the control group (all P＜0.01).The CI and EI of 1.00 mg/ml group and 2.00 mg/ml group were higher than those of the other group (all P＜0.01).The coagulation necrosis became complete when the concentration of MSNC-PFP above 0.50 mg/ml.Conclusion MSNC-PFP can increase the volume of coagulation necrosis,decrease the EEF and increase the efficiency of HIFU surface ablation of bovine liver in vitro.

Objective:To analyze clinical characteristics of ketosis-associated prurigo pigmentosa after ketogenic diet and bariatric surgery.Methods:Clinical data were collected from patients with ketosis-associated prurigo pigmentosa, who were diagnosed and treated in Department of Dermatology, Peking University People′s Hospital from September 2018 to September 2020. The clinical characteristics, sequelae and therapeutic effect of dietary modification were analyzed and summarized.Results:A total of 6 patients with ketosis-associated prurigo pigmentosa were collected, including 5 females who developed prurigo pigmentosa after ketogenic diet, and 1 male who developed prurigo pigmentosa after bariatric surgery. The skin lesions mainly involved the chest, back, waist and abdomen, and rarely involved the eyelids, axillae, elbows and mons pubis. Common skin lesions included urticaria-like erythema, papules and pigmentation arranged in a reticular distribution, and rare skin lesions included mung bean- to soybean-sized blisters, whose walls were liable to break. Among 5 patients undergoing routine urine analysis, 4 were positive (from + to ++++) for ketone bodies in the urine, and 3 were positive for urinary protein (+) . Pathological examination in 2 patients showed epidermal spongiosis, scattered necrotic keratinocytes, basal cell liquefaction, lymphocyte infiltration in the superficial dermis, and erythrocyte extravasation. The 6 patients were advised to eat staple foods. After dietary modification, 5 patients were nearly cured within 1 week; 1 patient, who continued ketogenic diet for weight loss, still received marked improvement after the treatment with minocycline at a dose of 100 mg/d in spite of restriction of carbohydrate intake. The levels of urinary ketone bodies and urinary protein in the 6 patients all returned to normal within 1 week after treatment.Conclusions:Ketosis plays an important role in the occurrence of prurigo pigmentosa. Dietary modification alone or adjuvant medical treatment such as minocycline is effective for the treatment of ketosis-related prurigo pigmentosa.

Objective To assess the value of arterial spin labeling(ASL) MRI in the staging of early renal allograft function. Methods Sixty two renal allograft recipients (2 to 4 weeks after kidney transplantation) and 20 age match volunteers were included in this study. All subjects underwent conventional MRI and ASL MRI which was performed in the oblique-sagittal plane. Recipients were divided into two groups according to the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), recipients with good allograft function (eGFR≥60 ml · min-1 · 1.73 m-2,n=37) and recipients with impaired allograft function (eGFR<60 ml · min - 1 · 1.73 m - 2,n=25). Renal blood flow (RBF) was measured and an intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC) was calculated to confirm the reproducibility of the measured results from two doctors. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Bonferroni were used to compare the different cortical RBF among three groups. Correlation of RBF with eGFR was evaluated using Pearson correlation coefficients. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was performed to assess the diagnostic efficacy of using cortical RBF to discriminate allografts with impaired function from good function. Results RBF values showed good reproducibility between doctors with an ICC larger than 0.90 in different group. Mean cortical RBF were (390 ± 61),(290 ± 69),(201 ± 86) ml · 100 g-1 · min-1 for healthy controls, recipients with good and impaired allograft function, respectively(F=37.313,P<0.01). RBF exhibited a significant correlation with renal function as determined by eGFR for recipients (r=0.60,P<0.01). Mean cortical RBF showed a high area under the ROC curve (0.773) to discriminate renal allografts with different function, with a sensitivity of 56.0% (14/25) and a specificity of 89.2% (33/37). Conclusion ASL MRI can assess the early renal allografts perfusion, and provide valuable information in the staging of renal function. It could be a useful method for evaluating renal function noninvasively.

Demographic data were obtained .Diabetic retinopathy , diabetic kidney disease , diabetic peripheral neuropathy ( DPN) , and peripher-al artery disease ( PAD) were diagnosed according to international clinical classification .The parameters of HRV in the patients with diabetes and non-diabetes were examined with24 h Holter recorder .Results The HRV parameters of type 2 diabetic patients were significantly lower than those of non-diabetes ( P <0.05 ) .HRV time domain parameters [ standard deviation of normal RR intervals (SDNN), standard deviation of 5-minute mean RR intervals (SDANN), root mean square difference among successive RR normal in-tervals ( RMSSD) ] were especially impaired in diabetic patients with retinopathy compared to those without retinopathy .HRV parame-ters except low-to-high frequency ratio ( LF/HF) and MNN were lower in diabetic patients with kidney disease than those without kid-ney disease .HRV parameters were no significant difference between patients with or without PAD .Conclusions HRV of diabetic pa-tient is lower.Diabetic retinopathy and kidney disease impact on the HRV .

Objective To compare the two ways of twice irradiation on the rabbit liver VX2 tumor using high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU).Methods Totally 45 tumor-bearing rabbits were randomly divided into 3 groups:group A(one-time irradiation group) received a one-time ablation;group B and C(twice irradiation group) firstly received a low-dose irradiation(without ablation),then group B received ablation on the next day while group C received it 2 days later.Results Compared with one-time irradiation group,the total treatment time of twice irradiation group was not significantly different,but the time of each irradiation,the incidence of skin erythema and the energy efficiency factor(EEF)were less,and that of group B were the least.After ablation,the typical coagulation necrosis in tumor tissues occurred,and the recurrence and metastasis were effectively controlled in all the three groups.Conclusion The total treatment time and efficacy of twice irradiation were same as one-time ablation,but the time and dose of each irradiation significantly decreased,the damage efficiency was enhanced and the complications were reduced.The way of continuous two-days twice irradiation was the most effective,which would be a safe and effective method of HIFU treatment.

Objective To identify gene mutations in two families with epidermolytic hyperkeratosis (EHK).Methods Clinical data were collected from two families with EHK.Peripheral blood was isolated from the probands and unaffected family members in the families as well as from 50 healthy controls.PCR was performed to amplify the encoding exons and flanking intron regions of KRT1 and KRT10 genes followed by direct DNA sequencing.Results Two mutations in the KRT10 gene,including a heterozygous acceptor splice site mutation in intron 4 (c.1030-2 A＞G) and a heterozygous missense mutation c.467 G＞A,were identified in the probands of both families,but absent in the unaffected family members or healthy controls.ConclusionThe splice site mutation c.1030-2 A＞G and missense mutation c.467 G＞A might be responsible for the phenotype of EHK in the two families.

Objective To quantitatively evaluate the metabolic changes in posterior cingulated cortex and left basal ganglia in patients with liver cirrhosis before and after liver Transplantation (LT).Methods A total of 22 controls and 37 cirrhotic patients listed for LT were enrolled in the study. Brain MRS (PRESS sequence) and neuropsychological (NP) tests were performed in all subjects. Eighteen patients were followed up at 1 month and 3 month after LT. The NP parameters including number connection test-A ( NCT-A), digital symbol test (DST) and symbol digital test (SDT) were measured. MRS metabolic contents were measured automatically at posterior cingulate cortex (PCC) and left basal ganglia (LBG).Independent t-test was used to compare the parameters of NP test and MRS metabolites between the 2 groups. The changes of the parameters before and after LT were compared using analysis of variance.Pearson correlation test was also used to analysis the relationship between NP test parameters and MRS metabolites. Results ( 1 ) Before LT, significant difference of metabolites was found in the PCC between the two groups [ NAA/Cr(1.96 ±0.21, 1.73 ±0. 12), Cho/Cr(0. 65 ±0. 12,0. 83 ±0.09), mI/Cr (0.41 ±0.14,0.72±0.11), Glx/Cr(2. 37 ±0. 38,1. 92 ±0. 32) (t= -5.42,5.96,8.62,-4.72,P＜0.01)].And statistical significance also were found in LBG between the 2 groups [ Cho/Cr (0. 63 ± 0. 16,0. 77 ±0. 10), mI/Cr(0.38 ±0. 17,0.53 ±0.21), GIx/Cr(1.70 ±0.36,1.29 ±0.30), (t =3.64,3.07,-4.58 ,P ＜ 0. 01 )]. (2)Compared with controls, the patients before LT had longer NCT-A reaction time [ (58. 17 ±19. 12) s,(37.68 ±8.02) s,t =4. 14,P＜0.01], lower scores of DST (36.67 ±9.91,55.36 ±9.27,t = 4.60,P＜0.01) and SDT (31.67 ±9.49,50.73 ±8.34,t = 4.652,P＜0.01) before LT. All the scores of NP tests changed significantly at 1 and 3 month after LT compared with those before LT[ NCT-A (53.06±12.71) s,(35.72 ±5.20) s,F =33.554,P ＜0.01 ], DST(41.89 ±8. 17,54.39 ±5.69,F =85.772,P＜0.01),SDT(37.44±7.68,49.39±5.65,F=83.061,P＜0.01)]. (3) In the 18 patients who were followed, Cho/Cr [ PCC (0. 90 ± 0. 14,0. 92 ± 0. 08, F = 38. 178, P ＜ 0. 01 ); LBG (0. 81 ± 0. 08,0. 80 ±0.09,F =9.447,P ＜0.01)] and Glx/Cr [ PCC(1.86 ±0.32,1.75 ±0.25,F = 19.420, P ＜0. 01 ); LBG( 1.30 ±0. 20,1.23 ±0. 25 ,F = 17. 952,P ＜0. 01 ) ] recovered at 1 month after LT, while the mI/Cr [PCC (0.39±0.15,0.71 ±0. 10,F =75. 186,P＜0.01) ;LBG (0.47 ±0.25,0.61 ±0.27,F =8. 027, P ＜ 0. 01 ) ] recovered at 3 month after LT. (4)mI/Cr of cingulate cortex correlated significantly with NCT-A, DST and SDT (r= -0.743, 0.597, 0.615, P＜0.01 ) before LT. Conclusion Cerebral metabolic changes in patients with liver cirrhosis is reversible and MRS of the posterior cingulate cortex is a helpful method in following up the changes after LT. mI/Cr is a useful indicator to predict the brain changes of cirrhotic patients before and after LT.

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.
