Objective:To investigate the clinicopathological characteristics, treatment methods and prognosis of renal primary neuroendocrine neoplasms.Methods:The clinical data of 42 patients with renal neuroendocrine neoplasms admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from October 2011 to June 2021 were retrospectively analyzed.There were 17 males and 25 females. The median age was 60.0 (50.0, 67.0) years old.The CT enhancement scan lesion was slightly intensified with less intensification than normal renal parenchyma.The clinic manifestation included lumbar abdominal pain in 7 cases, hematuria in 3 cases, abdominal distension in 1 cases, and asymptomatic in 8 cases. The average diameter of tumor was 8.0 (4.0, 10.0) cm. The tumor of 13 cases was in the left, and 6 cases was in the right. 6 cases were in T 1 stage, 11 cases were in T 2, 11 cases were in T 3, and 14 cases were in T 4.17 cases had lymph node metastasis, 11 cases had distant metastasis.The surgical method was radical nephrectomy in 27 cases, nephrectomy in 5 cases and interventional embolization in 4 case, and no operation in 6 cases, including 5 with chemotherapy alone and 1 with supportive care.Patients were classified by WHO Classification of renal tumors of the urinary system and the male reproductive organs (2016) into high-differentiated renal neuroendocrine tumors (NET, including carcinoid and atypical carcinoids) and high-grade renal neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC, including small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma and large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma). The clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of the 2 groups were compared, and the Cox proportional regression risk model was used to analyze the clinical factors affecting the prognosis. Results:In the NET group, 12 cases were carcinoids and 7 cases were atypical carcinoids. In the NEC group, 23 cases were small cell carcinomas.The mean Ki-67 index of 42 cases was 35% (4.5%, 62.5%). The proportion of positive expression of the neuroendocrine markers CD56, chromogranin A (CgA), and synapsin (Syn) were (37/42), (15/42), and (38/42), respectively. A total of 42 patients were followed up, and the median follow-up time was 60 (35, 99) months, and the median survival time was 25 (15, 60) months. The 3-year and 5-year overall survival rates were 40.0% and 21.2%. The 3-year and 5-year overall survival rates in the NET group were 72.6% and 42.3%.The 3-year and 5-year overall survival rates in the NEC groups were 6.3% and 0, respectively. The mean Ki-67 index was 3% (2%, 10%) in the NET group, 2 patients received postoperative chemotherapy and 3 patients had early progression after initial treatment.The mean Ki-67 index in the NEC group was 60% (40%, 80%), 15 patients received postoperative chemotherapy, and 13 patients had early progression of initial treatment.There were statistically differences in treatment method, postoperative chemotherapy, Ki-67 index, and early disease progression (all P <0.05) between the two groups.The results of univariate analysis showed that sex, age, early progression, treatment method, tumor differentiation, and Ki-67 index were all factors influencing patient prognosis (all P <0.05). Cox multivariate analysis showed that poorly differentiated NEC ( HR=13.964, P=0.003) and early progression ( HR=3.626, P=0.018) were independent risk factors for patient survival, and renal radical surgery ( HR=0.197, P=0.033) was independent protective factors for patient survival. Further subgroup analysis showed that the median survival time of the NEC patients with adjuvant chemotherapy after surgery was significantly longer compared with the patients without adjuvant chemotherapy (21 and 9 months, P=0.012). Conclusions:Primary renal neuroendocrine tumors are clinically rare, often manifested as lumbar and abdominal pain, and radical renal surgical treatment is preferred.The NET has a better prognosis and NEC prognosis is extremely poor, but NEC patients can have survival benefit from chemotherapy. NEC and early progression of the disease are independent prognostic risk factors, and radical renal surgical treatment is an independent protective factor for prognosis.

Objective To explore the surgical efficacy of meningioma patients with epilepsy as the main symptoms. Methods A retrospective analysis of 124 meningioma patients with epilepsy as the main symptoms between January 2010 and January 2016,follow-up effect of epilepsy control. Results There were 94 cases of Simpson I orⅡgrade resection,27 cases of gradeⅢresection and 3 cases of grade Ⅳ resection. The surgical out-comes of patients were evaluated based on Engel′s classification. There were 98 cases(79.0%)of EngelⅠgrade, 11 cases(8.9%)of EngelⅡgrade,Engel Ⅲ and Ⅳ grade were 12 cases(9.7%)and 3 cases(2.4%). Among them,87 of 94 patients with Simpson I orⅡ grade resection epilepsy were well controlled,the satisfaction rate of epilepsy control was 92.6%. Conclusions Epilepsy as the main symptoms of meningioma patients need to clear about the seizure onset area preoperative,need to pay special attention to whether there is an independent epilepsy starting area of the distant site of the tumor. On the basis of the tumor resection as much as possible,at the same time dealing with the abnormal release of the cortex can effectively improve the efficacy of postoperative epilepsy control.

Objective:To compare the efficacy and safety of programmed death-1(PD-1)inhibitors in combination with chemotherapy versus chemotherapy alone in patients with metastatic bladder cancer.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of 77 cases of metastatic bladder cancer who were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2014 to October 2022. According to the different clinical treatment regimens, they were divided into two groups. Patients treated with PD-1 inhibitors combined with gemcitabine and cisplatin (GC) regimen were referred to as IGC group, and patients who received GC chemotherapy alone were referred to as GC group. There were 24 cases in IGC group, including 18 males and 6 females, with a median age of 60 (56, 67) years old. Seventeen cases had a history of smoking. Fifteen cases had an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) score of 0 and 9 cases had a score of 1. Twenty-three cases suffered distant metastasis (stage M 1). Two cases suffered lymph node metastasis only, 6 cases with liver metastasis, 8 cases with lung metastasis, and 8 cases with bone metastasis. There were 53 cases in GC group, including 45 males and 8 females, with a median age of 63 (55, 69) years old. Thirty-one cases had a history of smoking. Thirty cases had an ECOG score of 0 and 23 cases had a score of 1, 48 cases suffered stage M 1, 2 cases suffered lymph node metastasis only. Nineteen cases suffered liver metastasis. Twenty-seven cases suffered lung metastasis. And 23 cases suffered bone metastasis. There was no statistically significant difference in the above general information between the two groups ( P>0.05). Kaplan-Meier method was used to plot the survival curves, and the difference of median progression-free survival (mPFS) and median overall survival (mOS) between the two groups was compared by log-rank test. Finally, the difference in adverse reactions between the two groups was compared. Results:The objective response rate (ORR) was 41.7% and the disease control rate (DCR) was 87.5% in the IGC group.As a comparison, the ORR was 43.4% and the DCR was 83.0% in the GC group. The differences in ORR ( P=0.887) and DCR ( P=0.871) between the two groups were not statistically significant. All patients were followed up for 3 to 45 months, with a median follow-up time of 24 (14, 43) months. The mPFS was 7.0 (95% CI 5.7-8.3) months in the GC group and 8.0 (95% CI 3.0-13.1) months in the IGC group, and the difference was statistically significant between the two groups ( P=0.026). The mOS of patients in the GC group was 16.0 (95% CI 14.4-17.6) months, the mOS was not yet reached in the IGC group, and patients in the IGC group had longer mOS with a statistically significant difference ( P=0.022). All patients experienced treatment-related adverse reactions. Grade 3-4 adverse reactions occurred in 8 cases (33.3%) in the IGC group and in 16 cases (30.2%) in the GC group, and no adverse reaction-related deaths were observed( P=0.992). The most common adverse reactions in both groups were anemia, including 18 cases (75.0%) in IGC group and 38 cases (71.7%) in GC group. There were 4 cases (16.7%) of grade 1-2 hypothyroidism in the IGC group but no patients with hypothyroidism were found in the GC group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P=0.012). There were 8 cases (33.3%) and 4 cases (7.5%) of grade 1-2 skin adverse reactions in the IGC and GC groups, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( P=0.011). The immune-related adverse reactions of PD-1 inhibitors in IGC group were 1 case of hyperthyroidism (4.2%), 4 cases of hypothyroidism (16.7%), 1 case of adrenal insufficiency (4.2%), and 1 case of immune colitis (4.2%). Conclusions:Compared with chemotherapy alone, PD-1 inhibitors combined with chemotherapy for metastatic bladder cancer can effectively prolong the mPFS and median mOS. The adverse reactions of the two groups were tolerable, and there was no significant difference in the incidence of grade 3-4 adverse reactions. In general, PD-1 inhibitors combined with chemotherapy in the treatment of metastatic bladder cancer is safe and feasible, but attention should be paid to the immune-related adverse reactions of PD-1 inhibitors.

Malacoplakia is a rare granuloma disease mainly occurred in the urinary system, it is even rarer for renal malacoplakia invading the descending colon complicated with bladder malacoplakia. In this study, one such case was reported. Imaging examination suggested that the left kidney was a large patchy mixed density shadow, and enhancement scan lesion was uneven enhancement. CT guided renal puncture biopsy was performed, and postoperative pathology suggested renal malacoplakia. Transurethral cystoscopy was performed, and postoperative pathology confirmed that it was malacoplakia of the bladder. The effect of conservative antibiotic treatment was not good. The patient underwent radical nephrectomy + left hemicolectomy under general anesthesia, and postoperative pathology confirmed the diagnosis of renal malacoplakia, which involved the mucosa of the intestinal tube and the entire muscular layer. The patient was followed up for 6 months after surgery, and no recurrence was seen on CT.
