Objective To evaluate the risk factors of septic shock after mini-percutaneous nephrolithotripsy (mPCNL). Methods Clinical data of 1 590 cases who underwent mPCNL from January 2013 to December 2014 were retrospectively analyzed. The x2 test and logistic regression were used to identify the key risk factors for septic shock after mPCNL. Results Of the 1 590 patients, 18 patients suffered septic shock, including 6 male patients and 12 fe﹣male patients. Their mean age was (45.6 ± 13.5) years (28 ~ 69 years). White cell in urine was 100 percent, the stone diameter ranged from 1.5 to 5.0 cm, unichannel for 15 cases while multichannel for 3 cases, the operation du﹣ration ranged from 45 to 200 min, mean (87.0 ± 56.0) min. 2 in 18 cases died in multiple organ failure, the others recovered till discharged. In x2 test, female gender (P = 0.001), (+++ ~ ++++) white cells in urine (P= 0.042), un-preoperative nephrostomy drainage (P=0.041) had significant association with septic shock after mPCNL. While in multivariate analysis, female gender ( O? = 5.471, 95 % CI: 0.756~21.452, P< 0.05) and un-preoperative nephrostomy drainage (O? =3.106, 95%CI:1.283~7.907, P<0.05) were identified as independent risk factors for septic shock after mPCNL. Conclusions Female gender and un-preoperative nephrostomy drainage are the key risk factors for septic shock after mPCNL.

Objective: In order to investigate the effects of activating and blocking Stat3 signaling pathway on invasion ability of human pancreatic cancer cells and explore its action mechanism.Methods:Human pancreatic cancer Capan-2 cells were treated with IL-6. SW1990 human pancreatic cancer cells were treated with AG490. Cell proliferation was measured by MTT assay. Western blotting and immunocytochemistry were performed to detect expression of phosphorylated Stat3 (p-Stat3) protein. Real-time fluorogentic quantitative PCR (RFQ-PCR) and Western blotting were used to detect the mRNA and protein expression of VEGF and MMP-2 mRNA, respectively. The invasion abilities of SW1990 and Capan-2 cells were determined by cell invasion assay in vitro. Results:IL-6 stimulated the proliferation of Capan-2 cells (P<0.05), elevated the expression of p-Stat3, increased the mRNA and protein expressions of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP-2) (P<0.05), and enhanced the invasion ability of Capan-2 cells. AG490 inhibited the proliferation of SW1990 cells (P<0.05), down-regulated the expression of p-Stat3, markedly decreased the mRNA and protein expression of VEGF and MMP-2 (P<0.05), and weakened the invasion ability of SW1990 cells. Conclusion:Stat 3 signaling pathway plays an important role in the invasion and metastasis of pancreatic cancer. Stat 3 signaling transduction pathway may provide a novel therapeutic target for the treatment of pancreatic cancer.
