Prostate cancer is one of the common malignant tumors of the urinary system and mostly found in elderly men. Like most tumors, prostate cancer involves a variety of molecules in its occurrence and progression. More studies on the development of prostate cancer focus on the tumor markers, DNA damage repair related genes, and tumor invasion and metastasis related factors. This article presents an overview on the research progress in these three aspects.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between MRI features of breast cancer and the expression of CBL-B, AXL and ITGB2, and further to provide new imaging ideas for the early diagnosis of breast cancer, the designation of treatment plan and the preoperative non-invasive assessment of breast cancer prognosis.Methods:204 female patients with breast cancer who visited Linyi Central Hospital from Sep. 2017 to Sep. 2020 and received surgical treatment were selected as research objects. A total of 204 lesions were selected. Scanning was performed using Philips All-digital Ingenia3.0T MRI. Tumor diameter, shape, edge, intensity pattern, time-signal intensity curve (TIC) type, early intensity rate and ADC value were recorded. Immunohistochemical SP method was used to detect the expression levels of CBL-B, AXL and ITGB2 in breast cancer tissues and adjacent tissues.Results:The proportion of patients with low expression of CBL-B, high expression of AXL and high expression of ITGB2 in breast cancer tissues was significantly higher than that in adjacent tissues (All P<0.05) . Univariate analysis showed that tumor diameter, shape, early enhancement rate and ADC value in MRI features were correlated with the expression of CBL-B protein in breast cancer (All P<0.05) . The tumor diameter, shape and TIC typing in MRI features were associated with AXL protein expression in breast cancer. The tumor diameter, TIC typing, early enhancement rate and ADC value in MRI features were related to ITGB2 protein expression. Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that tumor diameter ≥3 cm and early enhancement rate ≥100% were independent risk factors for low expression of CBL-B in breast cancer ( P<0.05) . Tumor diameter ≥3 cm, and irregular shape or burr were independent risk factors for AXL high expression ( P<0.05) . Tumor diameter ≥3 cm, early enhancement rate ≥100%, ADC value ≥1.12×10 -3 mm 2/s were independent risk factors for high ITGB2 expression in breast cancer ( P<0.05) . Conclusion:MRI features of breast cancer can be used to predict the expression of CBL-B, AXL, and ITGB2, so as to provide reference for clinical diagnosis, treatment and prognosis assessment of the disease.

Objective To investigate the application value of perioperative enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) combined with laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE) in the treatment of choledocholithiasis.Methods The clinical data of 84 patients with choledocholithiasis who were admitted to the Yijishan Hospital from January 2011 to December 2013 were prospectively analyzed.A single-blind,randomized,controlled study was performed in the 75 patients who were allocated into the control group and the enhanced recovery after surgery group (ERAS group) based on a random number table.All the patients underwent LCBDE,the patients in the control group received conventional perioperative management and the patients in the ERAS group received perioperative management according to enhanced recovery rehabilitation program.All the patients were followed up by outpatient interview till postoperative month 6.The clinical features,liver function and residual stones in the patients were observed.The operation time,postoperative complications,postoperative intestinal function recovery,duration of hospital stay and hospital expenses in the two groups were compared.Measurement data with normal distribution were presented as x ± s.Comparison between groups were evaluated with an independant sample t test.Count data were analyzed using the chi-square test.Results All the 75 eligible patients undergoing successful operation were randomly divided into the control group (35 patients) and the ERAS group (40 patients).The operation time and volume of intraoperative blood loss in the control group and the ERAS group were (185 ±46)minutes and (124 ±28)mL,(178 ±37) minutes and (114 ±32)mL,respectively,with no significant difference (t =0.729,1.431,P ＞ 0.05).There were 12,14 and 10 patients in the control group and 5,6 and 4 patients in the ERAS group with postoperative incision pain,vomit and infection,showing a significant difference (x2=5.054,5.966,4.241,P ＜ 0.05).The level of white blood cell,alanine aminotrausferase and direct bilirubin in the control group and in the ERAS group were (11.4 ± 3.5) × 109/L,(128 ± 33)U/L,(38 ±14) μmol/L and (10.6 ± 3.0) × 109/L,(135 ± 35) U/L,(44 ± 16) μmol/L at postoperative day 1,compared with (7.8 ±2.9) × 109/L,(48 ± 14) U/L,(21 ± 8) μmol/L and (6.9 ±2.1) × 109/L,(43 ± 13) U/L,(20 ±7) μmol/L in the 2 groups at postoperative day 4,respectively,showing no significant difference between the 2 groups (t =1.018,-0.872,-1.767,1.553,1.836,1.044,P ＞ 0.05).The postoperative first flatus day,time of food intake,time of postoperative infusion and duration of hospital stay were (42 ± 13)hour,(45 ±14) hours,(6.8 ±2.3)days and (11.3 ±4.5)days in the control group,and (35± 11)hours,(19 ±7)hours,(4.2 ± 1.8) days and (9.6 ± 2.4) days in the ERAS group,with a significant difference between the 2 groups (t =2.741,10.524,5.485,2.077,P ＜ 0.05).The total hospital expenses was (18 729 ± 3 127) yuan in the control group,which was significantly greater than (16 981 ±2 756) yuan in the ERAS group (t =2.574,P ＜ 0.05).The liver function of all the patients was recovered at the postoperative month 1.Four patients with residual stones in the 2 groups were detected by T-tube cholangiography,and were cured by removal of gallstones by choledochoscopy.There were no complications of the abdominal pain,jaundice and fever in all the patients till the end of follow-up.Conclusion ERAS combined with LCBDE for the treatment of choledocholithiasis is safe and feasible,with the advantages of low morbidity,quick recovery,short duration of hospital stay and less hospital expenses.

Objective We summarized the clinical experience of modified ileal ureter substitution for treating long segment ureteral defection.Methods We retrospectively analyze the clinical data of 2 patients with long segment ureteral defect who treated with Yang-Monti ileal ureter substitution between March 2015 and November 2015.One 75 years old male patient was diagnosed as upper ureteral malignance and solitary kidney.The length of defection from renal pelvis to bladder was 22 em.His serum creatinine was 100 μmol/L,blood urea nitrogen was 5.7 mmol/L,serum chloride was 98 mmol/L.Another one 41 years old female patient was diagnosed as middle and lower ureteral iatrogenic injury.The traumatic length was 15 cm.Her serum creatinine was 70 μmol/L,blood urea nitrogen was 5.1 mmol/L,serum chloride was 100 mmol/L.they were both treated by Yang-Monti ileal ureter substitution.The ileal intestinal segment was used for the ureteral replacement,which were more than 15 cm to the ilealcecum.The length of intestine was 10.0 cm and 7.5 cm,respectively.The ileal mesentery was preserved.After closing the mesangial hiatus,the ileal segment was pull into the retroperitoneal space and pulling out via descending colonic mesangial window.The ileal segment was divided into three parts,which was 2.5 to 3.0 cm in each part.Each part was opened via long axis and then rotated 90 degree.The 4-0 absorable suture was used to suture the edge of each intestinal part continuously.The sutured intestine was re-tubularized,using 4-0 absorable suture and the F16 catheter was used as the tube model.The length of reconstructed ureter was 22 cm and 18 cm,respectively.The neo-ureter was re-anastomosed with renal pelvis and bladder wall.Two F6 double J stents were placed in the neo-ureter.Results The operative time was 160 min and blood loss was 200 ml in the first case.In the second case,the operative time was 180 min and blood loss was 220 ml.No significant complications were noticed intra-operation and post-operation.Six months after operation,the male patient's serum creatinine was 112 pmol/L,blood urea nitrogen was 6.1 mmol/L,serum chloride was 106.0 mmol/L and electrolytes were normal.In another patient,serum creatinine was 79 μmol/L,blood urea nitrogen was 5.9 mmol/L and serum chloride was 103.0 mmol/L.The GFR was 24.9 ml/min and 22.1 m]/min 3 and 6 months after operation,respectively.Ureteral obstruction wasn't detected on IVU images 3 months after operation.Conclusions For patient with long ureteral defect,which cannot be replaced by other urinary tissue,YangMonti ileal ureter substitution is one of the optional modalities.As a new technique of ureteral substitution,Yang-Monti ileal ureter substitution is simple and fewer complications and can improve the quality of life in patient compared with traditional ureteral substitution.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the basic sciences to support the human health are chemistry, physics and informatics. Chemistry is the base of pharmacy. Physics is the base of medical instruments and equipments (MIE). The diagnosis and therapy of diseases are relying on informatics. Therefore, as the fusion results of physics and medicine, medical physics is the creative source science of MIE. Among all diagnosis tools, medical imaging devices are the fastest-developed and the most-complicated MIE since Roentgen discovered X-ray which was quickly used in medical diagnosis in 1895. Among all treatment tools, the radiotherapeutical devices are the most-widely used and the most effective MIE for tumor treatments since Mrs. Courier found the nature radiation isotope Radium at the end of 19th century and began to use it in tumor therapy. Although the research and development (R&D) of so-complicated MIE need many subjects of science and engineering, the kernel science is medical physics. With the results of more than 50 years' development in developed countries, medical physics has defined its own field, which is the medical imaging physics and the radiotherapeutical physics. But, the definition has been expanded to be wider and wider. Therefore, we should pay more attention to the establishment of Medical Physics in China. In order to develop medical physics in china, the bases of R&D and clinical practice should be also built.

Objective To measure the proximal femoral parameters which can provide anatomic evidence for the design of internal fixation components for intertrochanteric fractures of femur.Methods Femoral speci- mens were harvested randomly from 120 healthy adult cadavers(left 60,fight 60).The neck shaft angle,greater trochanter slope length,tilt angle of greater trochanter,axial length of head and neck,lengths of upper and lower borders of the neck,and the minimum transverse diameter of the neck were measured.On the basis of the anatomic study,a two-claw plate was designed to treat 145 cases of femoral intertrochanteric fractures.Results The femoral neck shaft angle was 128.59??6.31?,femoral greater trochanter slope length was(5.5?0.58)cm,tilt angle of femoral greater trochanter was 42.76??5.20?,and axial length of head and neck was(9.42?0.38)cm. There was a correlation between the parameters.All the patients were followed up for a mean time of 23.6 months. The fractures got clinic union in 3 to 6 months.Two cases experienced detachment of claws and hooks but their final outcome was not affected.Three cases suffered coxa vara.All the other cases obtained normal motion function of hips and normal neck shaft angle.No breakage of claw,hook or nail was found in them.Conclusions It is necessary to design an internal fixator that can fit the anatomical features of Chinese femurs in the treatment of intertrochanteric fractures of femur.The two-claw plate designed by us is a good attempt to improve the clinical effect.

Objective:To investigate the influence of sCD80-Linker-sCD40L fusion protein on the unspecific anti- tumor immunity in vitro.Methods:Ovarian cancer SKOV3 cells were separately transfected with recombinant adenoviral vectors containing sCD80-Linker-sCD40L fusion gene,sCD80 gene,sCD40L gene or with control adenovirus.The expres- sion of the sCD80-Linker-sCD40L fusion protein,sCD80 protein and sCD40L protein in the supernatants of SKOV3 cells was determined by ELISA.Dendritic cells(DCs)were cultured with peripheral blood mononuclear cells from a patient with ovarian carcinoma.DCs and autologous T cells were co-cuhured and were exposed to different supernatants for 48 h. The allostimulatory effects of DCs on T cells were determined by mixed lymphocyte reaction(MLR).The unspecific kill- ing activities of induced T cells against SKOV3/K562 cells were measured by LDH-releasing assay.Results:ELISA assay showed that levels of the sCD80-Linker-sCD40L fusion protein,sCD80 protein and sCD40L protein in the supernatants of transfeced SKOV3 cells were 2.791 ng/ml,1.956 ng/ml and 1.407 ng/ml,respectively.The fusion protein-exposed DCs ([0.382?0.053]vs[0.167?0.028],P
