Objective To explore the relationship between condition of hypoxia and prognosis in patient with renal clear cell carcinoma (RCCC).Methods The expression of hypoxia-inducible factor-lo( HIF-1 α) protein in cancer tissue of 89 RCCC cases was examined by streptavidin-biotin complex immunohistochemistry.Clinical and pathological data and prognosis of 89 cases were analyzed retrospectively.There were 66 males and 23 females,with an average age of 57 years.The patients were divided into two groups,the chronic pulmonary disease (CPD) group ( 19 cases) and non CPD (NCPD) group (70 cases),with 46cases in clinical stage I,15 cases in stage Ⅱ,26 cases in stage Ⅲ,and 2 cases in stage Ⅳ.The relationship between survival time and clinicopathological variables including the presence of CPD,the positive rate of HIF-1α protein,smoking history and hemoglobin level were evaluated by the Kaplan-Meier method.And the Cox proportional hazards regression model was build to analyze the correlation between each variable and survival time.Results The 89 cases were followed up for a median time of 19 months (6 to 84 months).Twenty cases died,and 69 cases survived.Between the CPD group and NCPD group,clinical stage,hemoglobin level and the degree of expression of HIF-1 α were significantly different (P ＜ 0.05 ).The median survival time was 44 and 71 months in CPD group and NCPD group,respectively,and the difference was significant ( P ＜ 0.05 ).The median survival time was 43 and 70 months in Hb≤ 110 g/L group and Hb ＞ 110 g/L group,respectively,and the difference was significant ( P ＜ 0.05).The stronger the degree of expression of HIF-lα was,the shorter the overall survival was.And the difference was significant ( P ＜0.05 ).Associated with CPD,hemoglobin level,the expression of H1F-1α were independent factors affecting overall survival of the patients (P ＜0.05 ).CPD and HIF-1 α expression were positively related to disease-free survival time,and hemoglobin level was negatively related to disease-free survival time.Conclusions Systemic hypoxia caused by CPD may aggravate the hypoxie state in the organization of the patients with RCCC.The condition of hypoxia and prognosis in patient with RCCC is negatively correlated.

A 38-year-old woman presented with a 20-year history of yellow papules and band-like atrophy on the right neck. The lesions developed slowly and were asymptomatic. There was no history of long-term sun exposure or family history of similar diseases. Skin examination revealed multiple irregularly sized yellow papules and plaques on the right anterior neck following cleavage lines, multiple pin cap-sized perifollicular papules on the posterior right neck. Well-defined band-like atrophic patches with fine wrinkling were observed in the whole right neck, giving an aged appearance. The skin of the left neck was nearly normal. Pathological examination of biopsy specimens from the yellow papules showed a normal epidermis, scant lymphohistiocytic and melanophage infiltrates around the vessels in the superficial dermis without solar degradation. The collagen bundles in the mid dermis were slightly thickened and arranged tightly in parallel to the skin surface with the absence of inflammatory infiltrate. Verhoeff-van Giesen's staining confirmed a nearly complete absence of elastic fibers in the mid dermis as well as obvious swelling and breakage of resident scant elastic fibers. Von Kossa's staining was negative. Based on the above findings, the diagnosis was made as unilateral mid-dermal elastolysis.

Objective:To explore the clinical features and prognosis of urachal carcinoma.Methods:The clinical data of 35 patients with urachal carcinoma admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from August 2011 to November 2019 were analyzed retrospectively. There were 23 males and 12 females, with a male to female ratio of 1.92∶1. The average age was (52.1±13.9) years old, and the median age was 55 years old. There were 8 patients with a history of smoking and 3 patients with a history of drinking. There were 5 cases of hypertension, 5 cases of diabetes, 2 cases of coronary heart disease, and 1 case of cerebral infarction. The first symptoms were hematuria in 25 cases, lower abdominal pain in 4 cases, abdominal mass in 2 cases, umbilical discharge in 1 case, and asymptomatic in 4 cases.Preoperative CT examination showed that the tumor was located on the top wall of the bladder in 24 cases and the front wall of the bladder in 11 cases. There were 25 solid tumors and 10 cystic tumors. The maximum diameter of the tumor was 1.5 to 11.0 cm, and the median maximum diameter of the tumor was 4.0 cm. Preoperative cystoscopy detected masses on the anterior or top wall of the bladder and urachal carcinoma was suspected in 35 cases. All 35 cases underwent enlarged partial cystectomy (conventional resection of the umbilical part), and 3 cases underwent pelvic lymph node dissection at the same time. Among them, 19 cases underwent open surgery, 14 cases underwent laparoscopic surgery, and 2 cases underwent Da Vinci robot assisted laparoscopic surgery.Results:According to Mayo staging, there were 10 cases of stage Ⅰ, 18 cases of stage Ⅱ, 1 case of stage Ⅲ, and 6 cases of stage Ⅳ. The overall follow-up rate was 91.4% (32/35), and the median follow-up time was 41 (3-103) months. The 1-year survival rate was 82.5%, the 3-year survival rate was 59.3%, and the 5-year survival rate was 53.9%. Univariate analysis showed that age ( P=0.033), maximum tumor diameter ( P=0.011), lymph node metastasis ( P=0.002), distant metastasis ( P=0.011), pathological grade ( P=0.001), Mayo staging ( P=0.026) were ralated prognostic factors (all P<0.05). Cox multivariate analysis showed that the pathologically poor differentiation ( HR=1.640, 95% CI 1.112-2.418, P=0.013), and the largest tumor diameter ≥4cm were ( HR=5.000, 95% CI 1.099-22.755, P=0.037). Independent factors affecting patient prognosis. Conclusions:Urachal carcinoma is a malignant bladder tumor with insidient onset. Most of the first diagnosis symptoms are hematuria. When diagnosed, most patients are in the middle and late stages of clinical grading, and the prognosis is poor.Pathological grade and maximum tumor diameter are independent factors that affect the prognosis of patients with urachal carcinoma. The higher was the pathological grade, and the larger was the maximum tumor diameter, the worse was the prognosis.

Objective:To discuss the diagnosis and treatment of urothelial carcinoma of the prostate.Methods:The clinical data of 25 patients with prostate urothelial carcinoma from January 2011 to November 2019 were retrospectively analyzed.Among the 25 patients, the age of onset was 39 to 85 years old, with an average of (63.4±11.2) years old, 13 patient presented with gross hematuria, 9 patients presented with dysuria, and 3 presented with bladder irritation. The PSA of 25 patients was within the normal range (less than 4 ng/ml). 17 cases of pelvic MRI showed abnormal signals in the bladder and prostate area, 3 cases indicated that prostate cancer had invaded the bladder, and 14 cases considered bladder cancer Invasion of the prostate suggests a cauliflower-like abnormal signal in the bladder area. 6 of this 14 patients have a history of bladder cancer. All 25 patients underwent surgical treatment, and 14 underwent transurethral diagnostic resection, of which 6 cases accepted radical cystectomy later. One patient underwent radical cystectomy combined with pelvic lymph node dissection 15 days after the first operation.9 cases received radical cystectomy.2 cases undergoing transurethral palliative resection due to multiple metastases before the operation.Results:The postoperative pathological diagnosis of 25 cases were all prostate urothelial carcinoma, 13 cases were accompanied by bladder urothelial carcinoma, secondary prostate urothelial carcinoma, and 12 cases were primary prostate urothelial carcinoma. After the operation, 13 patients were further treated. Among the patients with secondary prostate urothelial carcinoma, 7 patients received bladder perfusion, 2 patients received GC chemotherapy, 1 patient received local pelvic radiotherapy.25 patients were followed up for 2 to 36 months with an average of (21.5±10.1) months. Among them, lymph node metastasis were seen in 17/25 patients. lymph node metastasis were found in 7/25 before surgery, and 1/25 found lymph node metastasis during surgery. Among the patients with distant metastases afterwards, multiple metastases throughout the body (4/14), lung metastases only (6/14), and bone metastases only (4/14), the 1-year survival rate was 88% (22/25), the 2-year survival rate was 40% (10/25), and the 3-year survival rate was 28% (7/25).Conclusions:The diagnosis depends on histopathological examination. Early diagnosis may help improve prognosis. The first choice is a comprehensive treatment based on radical surgery.

Objective To measure the angular velocity and perpendicular ground reaction force of the ankle joint under different heights with half-squat jumping in parachute training simulation,providing a reliable experiment basis for the preventing of ankle injury.Methods A total of 18 volunteers participated in this study.The experimental group included 9 male with experience of parachute landing,while the other 9 male without experience of parachute landing were assigned to the control group.Each subject was instructed to jump off a platform with a height of 30 cm and 60 cm and land on a hard surface in a half-squat posture.The dynamic landing process was recorded with a high speed camera and the biomechanical data was collected and analyzed,including perpendicular ground reaction force,angular displacement,velocity and acting time.Results From 30 cm's height,the ankle angular displacement of the control group was significantly larger than the experimental group (25.73°± 8.13° vs 20.05°± 12.27°,P ＜ 0.05).The perpendicular ground reaction force of the control group was significantly smaller than the experimental group (3 372.4±748.6 N vs 5 181.5±1 726.2 N,P ＜ 0.05).The acting time of the control group was significantly longer than the ex perimental group (0.049±0.015 s vs 0.012±0.004 s,P ＜ 0.05).The buffer time of the control group was significantly shorter than the experimental group (1.397±0.746 s vs 1.737±0.451 s,P ＜ 0.05).From 60 cm's height,the ankle angular velocity of the control group was significantly higher than the experimental group (25.45± 15.01 °/s vs 16.51 ±4.18 °/s,P ＜ 0.05).The perpendicular ground reaction force of the control group was significantly smaller than the experimental group (4 616.0±1 124.7 N vs 7 119.5±2 307.4 N,P ＜ 0.05).The acting time of the control group was significantly longer than the experimental group (0.048±0.013 s vs 0.015±0.006 s,P ＜ 0.05).The buffer time of the control group was significantly shorter than the experimental group (0.922±0.347 s vs 1.617±0.547 s,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Jumping from different heights,the experinental group was larger in perpendicular ground reaction force but smaller in the angular velocity and displacement than the control group.There was a shorter acting time and a longer buffer time in the experimental group than the control group.

Objective To investigate the minimal persistent pigment dose (MPPD)of normal skin to UVA in Guangzhou city,and to observe its relationship to sex,age,skin type,seasons,ITA,and the years lived in Guangzhou.Methods 316 healthy subjects were exposed to Solar 601-300,and the MPPD was measured and observed by two professional technicians after 2-3 hours.Results The average MPPD value of all subjects was (9.61±2.57) J/cm2.In male and female,the average MPPD values were (11.09 ± 2.82) J/cm2 and (9.01 ± 2.20) J/cm2 respectively,and male was significantly higher than female (P＜0.01).There was significant difference of the MPPD value in different seasons (P＜0.01).The MPPD value in winter (10.66± 2.71) J/cm2) was significantly higher than spring (9.37±2.39) J/cm2,summer (9.53±2.66) J/cm2 and autumn (8.98±2.25) J/cm2.There was significant difference of the MPPD value between different ITA groups (P＜0.01).ITA grade-3 (10.72± 2.84) J/cm2 was significantly higher than grade-1 (8.50±1.45) J/cm2 and grade-2 (9.12±2.31) J/cm2 (P＜0.01),but there was no significant difference from grade-4 (11.87±2.73) J/cm2 (P =0.93).The MPPD value in subjects lived in Guangzhou over 10 years (8.97± 1.88) J/cm2 was significantly lower than those whose residence was less than 1 year and from 1 to 5 years,respectively (P＜0.01),but there was no significant difference from those lived from 5 to 10 years (P =0.47).Conclusions The MPPD value of the subjects in Guangzhou is related to gender,seasons,ITA grade and the years lived in Guangzhou city,while there is no correlation with age and skin types.

To improve the diagnosis and treatment of renal oncocytoma and avoid unnecessary radical nephrectomy. The clinical data of 6 cases of renal oncocytoma diagnosed at the Second Xiangya Hospital Central South University from March 2005 to November 2010, including symptoms, laboratory tests, imaging, style of operation, pathological examination, and follow-up were retrospectively analyzed.There were no special symptoms and obvious abnormal laboratory tests in the patients. Two patients had relatively special imaging. Partial nephrectomy was performed in 2 cases of renal oncocytoma with typical imaging, while radical nephrectomy was performed on other patients because of misdiagnosis. No relapse and metastasis were found in the following 1 to 5 years.Renal oncocytoma is an uncommon benign tumor. Partial nephrectomy or tumor excision can be performed on patients diagnosed with renal oncocytoma according to typical imaging and intraoperative frozen section biopsy. The final diagnosis depends on pathological examination and regular follow-up is imperative for patients with renal oncocytoma.

Objective:To explore the clinicopathological characteristics and prognostic factors of bladder squamous cell carcinoma (SqCC)and bladder adenocarcinoma.Methods:A retrospective analysis of the clinical data of 107 patients with nonurothelial carcinoma of the bladder admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from October 2011 to January 2019 was performed. Among the 107 patients, 78 were males and 29 were females(ratio 2.69∶1), and the median age of onset was 62.0 years. According to histological types, patients were divided into SqCC group, urachal adenocarcinoma group and non-urachal adenocarcinoma group. There were 55 cases in the SqCC group, including 40 males and 15 females. Their mean age was 69.0(58.0, 75.0) years. 14 cases had the history of smoking. The clinic manifestation included hematuria in 35 cases, bladder irritation in 13 cases, dysuria in 2 cases and pain in 5 cases .Tumors located at the anterior and posterior walls in 18 cases, at the lateral wall in 27 cases, at the triangular area in 8 cases and at the apical wall in 2 cases. The average diameter of tumor was 4.5(3.0, 6.0) cm. 37 cases suffered with single tumor and 18 cases suffered with multiple tumors. The surgical method was radical cystectomy in 38 cases, partial cystectomy in 4 cases, TURBT in 9 cases, interventional surgery in 2 cases, and no operation in 2 cases. There were 20 cases in the urachal adenocarcinoma group, including 14 males and 6 females; age 53.5(43.5, 57.8) years; 6 cases with a history of smoking. The clinic manifestation included hematuria in 16 cases, bladder irritation in 1 case, pain in 2 cases and asymptomatic in 1 case. Tumors located at anterior and posterior walls in 4 cases and at apical wall in 16. The average diameter of tumor was 3.0(2.0, 4.8) cm. Single tumor was present in 18 cases, multiple tumors were present in 2 cases. The surgical method was partial cystectomy in 16 cases, radical cystectomy in 1 case, TURBT in 1 case and no operation in 2 cases. There were 32 cases in the non-urachal adenocarcinoma group, including 24 males and 8 females. Their mean age was 55.0(46.3, 70.8) years.11 cases had a history of smoking. The clinic manifestation included hematuria in 16 cases, bladder irritation in 3 cases, dysuria in one case and pain in 7 cases. Tumor located at anterior and posterior walls in 17 cases, at lateral wall in 7 cases, at triangular area in 5 cases and at apical wall in 3 cases. The average diameter of tumor was 3.6(2.0, 4.5) cm. 23 cases suffered with single tumor, 9 cases suffered with multiple tumors.The surgical method was radical cystectomy in 11 cases, partial cystectomy in 9 cases, TURBT in 9 cases , and no operation in 3 cases. The preoperative data of the three groups of tissue types were compared, the differences of age of onset, tumor diameter, tumor location, reason for treatment, operation method ( P<0.05)among the 3 groups were statistically significant. The clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of the 3 groups of tissue types were compared, and the Cox proportional regression risk model was used to analyze the clinical factors affecting the prognosis. Results:91 patients were followed up, the overall follow-up rate was 85.1%, the median follow-up time was 26(7, 48) months. The 3-year and 5-year overall survival rates were 54.1% and 42.2%, respectively. In the SqCC group, 11 cases received chemotherapy; 3 cases received postoperative radiotherapy; 12 cases received postoperative perfusion.10 cases had recurrence; 17 cases had lymph node metastasis; 19 cases had distant metastasis; 5 cases were pT x in pT stage, 36 cases were pT 1-pT 2, 14 cases were pT 3-pT 4. 19 cases had unknown tumor differentiation, 4 cases had well differentiated, 24 cases had moderately differentiated and 8 cases had poorly differentiated. In the urachal adenocarcinoma group, 7 cases received chemotherapy, 3 cases had recurrence, 2 cases had lymph node metastasis, 2 cases had distant metastasis; 1 case was pT x in pT stage, 16 cases were pT 1-pT 2, 3 cases were pT 3-pT 4. 9 cases had unknown tumor differentiation, 3 cases had well differentiated, and 5 cases had moderately differentiated, 3 cases had poorly differentiated. In the urachal adenocarcinoma group, 3 cases received chemotherapy, 1 case received postradiotherapy, 11 cases received postoperative perfusion; 10 cases had recurrence. 5 cases had lymph node metastasis, 4 cases had distant metastasis, 6 cases were pT x, 21 cases were pT 1-pT 2 and 5 cases were pT 3-pT 4. 14 cases had unknown tumor differentiation, 8 cases had moderately differentiated and 10 cases had poorly differentiated.The postoperative general data of the three groups of tissue types were compared. There was statistically significant difference between whether there was postoperative perfusion and whether there was distant metastasis (all P<0.05). The univariate analysis results showed gender, age, surgical method, lymph node metastasis, distant metastasis, pT staging, tumor differentiation and histological type were risk factors that affect the prognosis(all P<0.05). Cox multivariate analysis showed that women ( HR=2.604, P=0.032) and distant metastases ( HR=2.571, P=0.026) were independent risk factors affecting the prognosis of patients. Conclusions:SqCC and adenocarcinoma are clinically rare and have poor prognosis. They often present with hematuria. Surgical treatment is the first choice. Radical cystectomy is the first choice for SqCC and non-urachal adenocarcinoma, and extended partial cystectomy is the first choice for urachal adenocarcinoma. Female and distant metastasis are independent risk factors affecting the prognosis of patients.

Objective To investigate the clinical features and treatment principles of inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor of the urinary bladder (IMTUB).Methods From April 2013 to October 2016,6 cases of IMTUB patients were analyzed retrospectively.All cases were presented with gross hematuria.4 cases underwent ultrasonography,of which 3 cases showed solid mass in bladder,1 case showed inflammatory change.6 cases underwent CT examination,3 cases with bladder cancer,1 case with bladder sarcoma,1 case with malignant transformation of adenoma,1 case with rich blood supply.No lymph node metastasis.Bladder occupying lesions were considered in 2 cases of MRI examination.5 cases of cystoscopy showed bladder solid mass.In 6 cases involved,2 patients received partial cystectomy,2 patients underwent transurethral resection of bladder tumor,1 patient underwent radical resection of urachal carcinoma and the other one was treated with chemotherapy.Results Immunohistochemical staining was positive in ALK (100.0％) 、Vimentin(100.0％) 、CK(100.0％) 、SMA (83.3％) 、EMA(66.7％) and Ki-67 (5％-30％),negative in S-100 and Desmin.Final pathological diagnosis was IMTUB.So far,neither recurrence nor metastasis has been detected for 6 ～ 42 months in 5 cases and the other one lost to follow-up.Conclusions IMTUB is a kind of rare benign tumor of bladder.The golden standard of diagnosis is pathological diagnosis.Surgical resection is the first choice for treatment.Recurrence and metastasis are after the surgery treatment.All patients should be followed up closely.
