Objective To study the protective effect of oxygen carrying liquid to brain tissue after hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage in rats.Methods Collagenase and heparin were injected into the caudate nucleus of rats by stereotactic operation to induce a hemorrhage model,we observed the water content of brain,the morphology of the brain,the change of cerebral blood flow (CBF) and biochemical markers in each group.Results Group B without oxygen carrying liquid had more serious injury than group A with oxygen carrying liquid.Water content of brain tissue in group B (80.55?0.80%) was higher than group A (77.94?1 16%),group B had higher MBP levels(0.87?0.44 ng/ml) than group A (0.54?0.19 ng/ml), group B had higher NSE levels (1.74?0.68 ng/ml) than group A (1.19?0 49 ng/ml),There was remarkable difference in the two groups.Conclusion The oxygen carrying liquid had fine protective effect to the brain tissue around the hematoma after hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage.

Objective To investigate the clinical features and prognosis of the patients with renal cell carcinoma and venous tumor thrombus.Methods Fifty-six patients with renal cell carcinoma and venous tumor thrombus were selected as our subjects,who underwent radical nephrectomy and thrombectomy in the Second Hospital of Tianjin Medical University from June 2002 to May 2014.There were 28 patients with stage Ⅰ tumor thrombus,l5with stage Ⅱtumor thrombus,9 with stage Ⅲ tumor thrombus and 4 with stage Ⅳtumor thrombus.All patients underwent renal tumor resection and embolectomy,and were follow-up.Results Of all the patients,46 were male and 10 were female with a mean age of 61.7(age ranging from 42 to 83).Twenty-four were presented on the left kidney and 32 were right.The clinical features were as follows:The tumor size was 2.5 to 14 cm in diameter(mean:6.2 cm),there were 21 cases with low back pain,18 cases with hematuria,lcases with abdominal.Pathological results showed that 39 with clear cell carcinoma,9 with papillary cell carcinoma,3 with chromophobe cell carcinoma,1 with low-differentiated cell carcinoma and 1 with undifferentiated cell carcinoma,3 with sarcomatoid differentiation.Forty-three patients were followed up,and the median follow up period was 20.4 months (2-90 months).The median survival time for the patients was 47 months and the 5 year overall survival was 45.2％.The survival time of the patients with early tumor thrombus(below hepaticvein) was (55.3 ± 4.9) month,significantly longer than that of the patients with advanced tumor thrombus (above hepaticvein) ((24.8 ± 5.3) months,P =0.047).Conclusion Patients with renal cell carcinoma and venous tumor thrombus are characterized with high malignancy and poor prognosis.Surgical operations are effective therapies for the patients.Long term outcome of the early tumor thrombus patients is significantly better than that of the advanced tumor.

Objective To investigate the clinical and pathological features of urothelial carcinoma with clear cell variant.Methods The pathological and clinical data of 7 cases pathological diagnosed urothelial carcinoma with clear cell variant between March 2005 and May 2014 were retrospectively reviewed.There were 6 males and 1 female,aged 46-75 years (mean,61 years).Clinical manifestations included gross hematuria in 5 cases,hematuria and backache in another 2 cases.The mean tumor size was 3.5 cm (ranged 2.0-6.0 cm).One case was multiple tumor and 6 cases were single tumor.Five cases were positive in urine cytology.All the 7 cases accepted surgical treatment,including radical nephroureterectomy in 2 cases,transurethral resection of bladder tumor plus pharmorubicin regular intravesicalinstillationin 1 case,and radical cystectomy in 4 patients.Results Pathological findings revealed that all the tumors were high-grade urothelial carcinoma with clear cell variant in different proportion.Among them,clear cell tumor was predominant in 1 case and focal in other 6 cases.Meanwhile,tumorsaccompanied by glandular differentiation were found in 2 cases,squamous differentiation was found in 1 case,and micropapillary variant was found in 1 case.Vascular tumor embolus was found in 4 cases.Pathological stage was pT2a (n =1),pT2b (n =3),and pT3a (n =3).Immunohistochemicalstaining revealed cytokeratin 7 (+),cytokeratin 20 (+),epithelial membrane antigen (+)and prostate specific antigen (-).Six cases were followed up.The bladder preservation case was followed up for 8 months without recurrence.In 3 radical cystectomy cases,1 died of cancer 25 months after surgery and another 2 case were followed up for 10 and 12 months after surgery without recurrence and metastasis.In 2 nephroureterectomy cases,1 died of tumor metastasis 18 months after surgery and the other case was followed up for 6 months without recurrence or metastasis.Conclusions Urothelialcarcinoma with clear cell variant is a malignancy often with advanced stage and poor prognosis.Radical surgery is recommended for the treatment.

[Abstract ] Objective At present, few studies are reported on procalciton (PCT) and endotoxin (ET) in the diagnosis of urosepsis after percutaneous nephrolithotomy ( PCNL) .The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical value of the detection of serum procalcitonin and endotoxin in the early diagnosis of urosepsis after PCNL . Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data about 427 cases of upper urinary tract stones treated by PCNL , among which urosepsis developed postoperatively in 49 ( the urosepsis group ) and the other 378 non-urosepsis cases served as controls .At 1 day and 2 hours before PCNL , we detected the levels of serum ET and PCT and analyzed the PCT and ET levels and the results of combined detection in the two groups of patients using the ROC curve. Results At 2 hours before surgery , both the levels of PCT and ET were significantly higher in the urosepsis group than in the non-urosepsis controls ([ 5.18 ±4.43 ] vs [ 1.38 ±1.01 ] ng/mL, P<0.01;[50.91 ±35.45] vs [17.86 ±10.78] pg/mL, P<0.01).ROC curve analyses manifested that the areas under the curve (AUC) of PCT and ET were 0.841 ±0.038 and 0.786 ± 0.043, their sensitivities were 79.6%and 71.4%, and their specificities were 78.0%and 70.1%, respectively.The combined de-tection showed the AUC, sensitivity, and specificity to be 0.915 ±0.029, 85.7%, and 86.5%, respectively, all significantly higher than either PCT or ET detection alone (P<0.01). Conclusion The combined detection of PCT and ET can significantly increase the sensitivity and specificity of early diagnosis of urosepsis after PCNL and is superior to either PCT or ET detection alone .

Objective To investigate the high-risk factors leading to a poor prognosis of small renal cell carcinoma, and provide theoretical basis for the individualized treatment regimen. Methods This retrospective study analyzed the clini?cal and histological data of 18 patients with small renal cell carcinoma treated in the Department of Urology of the Second Hospital of Tianjin Medical University from January 2004 to July 2015. All the patients underwent ultrasound, plain and en?hanced CT examinations, also, received the surgeries. The tumor diameters, pathological types, pathological stages, Fuhrman grading of tumors and the prognosis of patients were analyzed. Results Preoperative CT examination revealed that 18 pa?tients with the average tumor diameter of (3.1 ± 0.6) cm (ranged 2.0 to 4.0 cm). Five patients were diagnosed as T1aN0M0, 4 patients with T1aN0M1 (3 cases with lung metastasis, 1 case with brain metastasis), 3 patients with T1aN1M0 (CT examina?tion showed a lymph node metastasis), 6 patients with T3aN0M0 (renal vein invasion or renal vein tumor thrombus). Patholog?ical examination after surgery showed that 12 patients were Fuhrman gradeⅡ, 5 were gradeⅢand 1 was gradeⅣ;15 cases were clear cell carcinomas, 1 case was papillary carcinoma, 1 was hybrid cellular tumor (malignant rhabdoid tumor with sar?comatoid differentiation) and the last case was sarcomatoid carcinoma renal cell carcinoma (Fuhrman grade V). 4 patients (T3a, Fuhrman grade Ⅱ) underwent retroperitoneal laparoscopic partial nephrectomy and the remaining underwent laparo?scopic radical nephrectomy. The median follow-up time was 22.5 months (ranged 6 to 48 months). Four cases died (2 cases with tumor diameters of 3.8 cm and 4.0 cm at preliminary diagnosis,2 cases with sarcomatoid renal carcinoma and 1 with brain metastasis), 1 case was lost. Other patients were found no tumor recurrence and metastasis. Conclusion The small re?nal cell tumor with diameter≥3.0 cm, FuhrmanⅢ/Ⅳgrade,sarcomatoid cancer or metastasis should be considered as high-risk factors of small renal cell carcinoma. The high-risk small renal cell carcinoma is heterogeneous in its biological behav?ior, which is expressed as aggressive growth and early invasion of renal tissue and even metastasis. The individualized treat? ment should be made based on preoperative imaging findings and postoperative pathology.

Objective To evaluate the surgical outcomes in octogenarians and older of gastric cancer and to identify the reasonable therapy for these patients.Methods From Jan 2000 to Dec 2010,the clinicopathological data of 533 patients with gastric cancer undergoing gastrectomy were analyzed retrospectively.We conducted comparative analysis for the differences in clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis between 80 years and older (≥80 y,n =75) and younger (＜ 80 y,n =458).Results There were significant differences in comorbidities,anemia and histological type between the two groups.There was no significant difference in operative morbidity and mortality between the two groups.The 5-year survival rate for octogenarians was lower (21.1％) than nonoctogenarians (32.8％),but with no significant difference.TNM stage was the only independent prognostic factor for gastric cancer in octogenarians.Conclusions Older gastric cancer patients have comparative postoporative complication rate and survival with younger patients.

Aim To study the characteristics of the binding reaction of Troxetutin with bovine serum albumin (BSA) by fluorescence and ultra violet-visible absorption spectra.Methods The quenching mechanism of the fluorescence of BSA by troxerutin was studied with fluorescence.To determine the dynamic quenching constants and static binding constants,the Stern-Volmer equation and the double reciprocal Lineweaver-Burk equation were applied. The number of binding site was calculated with double logarithmic equation and the main binding force was discussed by thermodynamic equations. The binding distance and energy transfer efficiency between donor (BSA) and acceptor (troxerutin) were obtained effectively quenched fluorescence of BSA via static quenching processes. The binding constant Ka was calculated to be in the order of 106,indicating a strong interaction between Troxerutin and BSA. The number of binding site was approximately equal to 1,the binding distance was 1.97 nm,the energy transfer efficiency was 0.529,and the binding force was mainly hydrophobic force.Conclusion Troxerutin effectively quenchs the intrinsic fluorescence of BSA via static quenching mechanism,and the binding is mainly driven by the hydrophobic interaction.

Objective:To explore the regulatory effects of proliferation and apoptosis on THC-8307 by MMS2 siRNA and P53 siRNA.Methods:We experimentally suppressed the MMS2 and P53 expression in human colon cancer cells by the interference RNA technology ( RNAi) as monitored by Real-time qRT-PCR and Western blot.THC-8307 cells that express rate significantly reduced were collected as case group , while using untreated cells as the blank control group , and mock-treated cells as the negative control group.After separately interfering the target genes in each group ,test the relationship and expression level of the two genes.Utilizing flow cytometry techniques to test cells proliferation and apoptosis rate of each group.Results: Compared to the control group , colon cancer cells in which MMS2 and P53 were silenced displayed significant increase of P53,MMS2 mRNA and protein levels(P<0.05).MMS2-depleted cells displayed increase in apoptosis rates ,for both early and later stages ( P<0.05 ).Conclusion: MMS2 and P53 negatively regulate each other in colon cancer cells proliferation and apoptosis .

Objective To evaluate the impact of preoperative prognostic nutritional index (PNI) on surgical outcomes and long-term survival of elderly patients with gastric cancer.Methods From Jan 2007 to Dec 2012,the clinicopathological data of 165 elderly patients (age ＞ 65 years old) with gastric cancer undergoing radical gastrectomy in the Second Hospital of Tianjin Medical University were analyzed retrospectively.PNI value was calculated by serum albumin (g/L) + 5 × lymphocyte count (× 109/L).The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and Youden index was used to determine the cut-off value of PNI.Patients were then divided into low PNI group and high PNI group based on the cut-off value.The two groups were compared according to clinicopathological characteristics,postoperative complication and longterm survival.Results The mean PNI value was 46.1-± 5.3,When the PN1 was 46.4,the Youden index was maximal,with a sensitivity of 78％ and specificity of 59％.There were 79 patients in the low PNI group and 86 patients in high PNI group.No significant correlations between PNI and gender,age,BMI,pathological type,tumor diameter,extranodal metastasis and postoperative morbidity were observed.There were significant difference in the depth of invasion (x2 =6.732,P =0.009),N stage(x2 =13.191,P =0.004),TNM stage(x2 =12.137,P =0.000) and postoperative hospital stay (t =4.595,P =0.000).By Kaplan-Meier method,PNI (P =0.000),depth of invasion (P =0.002),N stage (P =0.000),TNM stage(P =0.000) and extranodal metastasis (P =0.031) had significant impacts on overall survival.PNI (P =0.016)and N stage (P =0.018) were independent factors for predicting overall survival rate.Conclusions PNI helps in evaluating preoperative nutritional status and postoperative prognosis for elderly patients with gastric cancer.

Objective:To investigate the predictive value of circulating miR-143 and miR-182 for the short-term clinical outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS).Methods:Patients with AIS admitted to Danzhou People's Hospital from January 2018 to June 2020 were included prospectively. The modified Rankin Scale was used to evaluate the short-term clinical outcome at 14 d after onset or at discharge. 0-2 was defined as good outcome, and >2 was defined as poor outcome. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify the independent risk factors for poor short-term clinical outcomes in patients with AIS. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the predictive value of miR-143 and miR-182 for the short-term clinical outcomes in patients with AIS. Results:A total of 158 patients with AIS, aged 65.80±12.36 years, were enrolled, including 105 males (66.46%), 95 patients with good outcome (60.1%) and 63 with poor outcome (39.9%). The age, total cholesterol, triglyceride, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score, serum miR-143 and miR-182 level in the poor outcome group were significantly higher than those in the good outcome group (all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age (odds ratio [ OR] 1.984, 95% confidence interval [ CI] 1.315-3.617; P=0.036), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol ( OR 2.108, 95% CI 1.406-4.103; P=0.013), baseline NIHSS score ( OR 2.584, 95% CI 1.675-4.505; P=0.005), miR-143 ( OR 3.205, 95% CI 2.370-6.180; P<0.001) and miR-182 ( OR 2.802, 95% CI 1.905-5.516; P<0.001) were the independent risk factors for poor outcomes in patients with AIS. ROC curve analysis showed that the combined area under the curve of miR-143 and miR-182 to predict the poor outcome in patients with AIS was 0.935 (95% CI 0.873-0.992), the sensitivity and specificity were 96.5% and 87.0% respectively. Conclusions:The increase of serum miR-143 and miR-182 was closely associated with the poor short-term outcomes in patients with AIS. The combination of the two has a good predictive value for the poor short-term outcomes in patients with AIS.
