Objective To obtain reasonable treatment by urodynamic detection and analysis in patients with diabetic cystopathy (DCP) complicated with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).Methods Sixty patients with DCP complicated with BPH were selected,among the total 32 patients (duration of diabetes ＞ 12 years,blood glucose control was not ideal) were recognized as experimental group,and 28 patients (duration of diabetes ≤ 8 years,blood glucose control was stable) were recognized as control group.Using the Laborie UDS-120XLT urodynamic detection instrument,the urodynamic was detected and the international prostate symptom score (IPSS) was evaluate,and the results were compared between the 2 groups.Results There was no statistical difference in residual urine volume between experimental group and control group [(146 ±71) ml vs.(160 ±64) ml,P ＞0.05].The maximum urinary flow-rate in experimental group was significantly lower than that in control group [(5.4 ± 2.0) ml/s vs.(8.0 ± 3.2) ml/s],the symptom total score of IPSS was significantly higher than that in control group [(25.8 ± 4.1) scores vs.(22.6 ±5.0) scores],there were statistical differences (P ＜0.01).The maximum bladder capacity,compliance,incipient micturition desire volume in experimental group were significantly lower than those in control group,there were statistical differences (P ＜ 0.01).Conclusions The influence of DCP on the function of the bladder in BPH patients is significant.Urodynamic detection can provide objective basis for the selection of therapeutic methods,suitable to be operated and forecast the postoperative effect.It has an important reference value in DCP complicated with BPH patients.

Objective To evaluate the prognostic value of preoperative neutrophil-to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in invasive breast carcinomas of no special type.Methods we retrospectively analyzed the clinical and pathological data of all breast cancer patients at Shanghai Huangpu District Cental Hospital from Jan.2012 to Dec.2012.The optimal cutoff value was obtained by ROC.The difference among variables was calculated by chi-square test.DFS and OS were estimated using Kaplan-Meier method.Cox analysis was performed to analyze clinical parameters for their prognostic relevance.Results A total of 493 were eligible.The optimal cutoff value of NLR was 2.057.The sensitivity was 0.767 and specifity was 0.327 at the optimal cutoff point.Univariate analysis showed that patients with NLR higher than 2.057 had significantly lower DFS (P=-0.001) than patients with NLR equal or lower than 2.057,while the overall survival rate was not statistically different (P=0.131).The Cox proportional multivariate hazard model revealed that higher NLR was independently related with poor DFS with hazard ratio 5.649(95％ confidence interval 3.128-10.201,P=0.002).Conclusions Preoperative NLR is an independent predictor of DFS in breast cancer patients.Further validation and a feasibility study are required before it can be considered for clinical use.

Objective: To investigate the clinical characteristics and the effectiveness of surgical treatment of adrenal cysts. Methods: The clinical data of adrenal cysts in Affiliated Zhangye people′s Hospital, Hexi College from May 2005 to July 2018 were retrospectively analyzed, including clinical manifestations, diagnosis, surgical methods, postoperative pathological results and follow-up process. Seventeen patients with adrenal cysts were identified including 10 males and 7 females. The median age was 45.6 ranging from 30 to 75. There were 12 left lesions and 5 right lesions. Only 4 patients (23.5%) had clinical symptoms, including low back pain, abdominal pain and dizziness caused by hypertension. Ultrasound, CT and MRI were the main imaging methods for preoperative diagnosis. Results: All patients underwent surgical treatment. Laparoscopic surgery was adapted in 14 cases. The average operation time was (70.2 ± 18.5) min and the average bleeding was (47.0 ± 12.1) ml. For open surgery in 3 cases, the average operation time was (103.5 ± 25.0) min and the average bleeding was (85.6 ± 20.5) ml. Postoperative pathological results showed endothelial cysts in 11 cases, epithelial cysts in 3 cases and pseudocysts in 3 cases. No recurrence of cysts or hypoadrenalism occurred in 3-75 months′ follow-up. Conclusions Adrenal cysts are relatively rare and generally benign lesions. Imaging examination, especially abdominal enhanced CT is essential for diagnosis. Laparoscopic surgery is a safe and effective method for the treatment of adrenal cysts.

Objective To evaluate the effect and mechanism of tribulus terrestris in kidney calcium oxalate stone in rats.Methods Sisty healthy male Wistar rats were divided into control group,model group,low-dose prevention group,high-dose prevention group,low-dose treatment group,high-dose treatment group by random number table method,each group of 10 rats.The control group was had free access to water,the model group was given 1％ ethylene glycol had free access to water,and the low-dose prevention group was given 1％ ethylene glycol had free access to water while was added in Tribulus terrestris extract 250 mg/(kg · d) treated by gavage,the high-dose prevention group was given 1％ ethylene glycol had free access to water while was added in Tribulus terrestris extract 500 mg/(kg · d) treated by gavage.The low-dose treatment group received 1％ ethylene glycol had free access to water while was added in tribulus terrestris extract 250 mg/(kg · d) treated by gavage on the 15th day.The high-dose treatment group received 1％ ethylene glycol had free access to water while was added in tribulus terrestris extract 500 mg/(kg · d) treated by gavage on the 15th day.At the end of the experiment on the 28th day,the body weight,blood urea nitrogen,creatinine,P,Ca2+,Mg2+ content,24 h urine volume,24 h urine Ca2+,Mg2 +,P,oxalic acid secretion,renal tissue homogenate detection of superoxide dismutase (SOD),glutathione peroxidase (GPX),malondialdehyde content of each group were detected.The crystal deposition and pathological changes of calcium oxalate were observed under the microscope.Measurement data were expressed as mean ± standard deviation (Mean ± SD),multiple comparisons between groups were performed using LSD-t test,and comparison between groups was performed by one-way anova analysis of variance.Results Compared with the control group,the rats in the model group had blood urea nitrogen (28.93 ±3.37) mmol/L,creatinine (162.31 ± 34.08) μmol/L,24 h uric acid (132.67 ± 27.96) μmol,Ca2+ (18.24 ± 1.94) μmol/24 h,the content of malondialdehyde (191.04 ± 20.56) nmol/mgprot in kidney homogenate was significantly increased,blood Ca2+ (2.01 ±0.28) mmol/L,renal GPX (479.82 ± 136.97) μmol/gprot,SOD(1.54 ±0.21) U/mgprot decreased significantly,these differences were statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05).Renal histopathology showed low-dose and high-dose prevention and treatment groups kidney calcium oxalate crystals and kidney damage were less than the model group.Conclusion The extract of Tribulus terrestris has a beneficial effect against calcium oxalate urinary stone formation induced by ethylene glycol.

Objectives: To evaluate the tumor-infiltrating PD-1 positive lymphocytes and regulatory T cells (Treg) as prognosis predic-tors of metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC), and investigate the expression of PD-1 and Treg cells in mRCC and elucidate their corre-lation with clinicopathological parameters and prognosis. Methods: A total of 269 mRCC patients from June 2007 to June 2017 in Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University, were included in the study. The expression of PD-1 and Tregs in mRCC samples were detected by immunohistochemistry. The relationship between the expression of PD-1 and Tregs was analyzed. Results: PD-1 positive expression in mRCC was 31.60% (85/269) and it was positively correlated with the tumor Fuhrman grade and negatively correlated with progno-sis. Tumor infiltration of Tregs in mRCC was 36.80% (99/269), and it was also positively correlated with the tumor Fuhrman grade and negatively correlated with prognosis. Univariate analysis showed that PD-1 positive lymphocytes and high Treg infiltration numbers were negatively correlated with overall survival (OS) and progression free survival (PFS) rates. Thus, PD-1 positive lymphocytes and high Treg infiltration numbers are independent prognostic indicators of OS and PFS and when combined, they can render a better pre-diction for prognosis. Conclusions: Intra-tumoral infiltration of PD-1 positive lymphocytes and Tregs can be used as significant prognos-tic indicators of mRCC, and the combined predictive effect is better than the individual predictive effect. Therefore, evaluating the number of PD-1 positive lymphocytes or infiltrating Tregs in mRCC is helpful in clinically estimating mRCC prognosis in patients.
