ObjectiveTo compare the clinical characteristic and postoperative histopathological parameters in different prostate size and to assess the effect of prostate volume on histopathological outcomes in patients after laparoscopic radical prostatectomy. MethodsTwo hundred and sixteen patients from 2006 to 2011 who were proved prostatic carcinoma by biopsy and performed laparoscopic radical prostatectomy wewe retrospectively evaluated.All patients were divided into the small group ( < 30 ml,103 cases),intermediate group(30 -60 ml,71 cases) and large group ( >60 ml,42 cases) according to prostate volume.Clinical variables included age,body mass index (BMI),preoperative PSA level,prostate volume,percentage of positive needles,clinical stage,and biopsy Gleason score (GS).Histopathological parameters included pathological GS,upgrading or not compared to biopsy GS,pathological stage and surgical margins status.Preoperative clinical variables and postoperative histopatholgogical parameters were compared among the 3 prostate groups. ResultsPatients with smaller prostates had lower PSA levels than those with intermediate and larger prostates (P =0.000).They also had worse histopathological outcomes such as pathological GS ( P =0.034 ),upgrading of GS ( P =0.037 ),and pathological stage ( P =0.025 ).35.0% of patients in smaller prostate group had a positive surgical margin compare to 33.8% and 19.0% in intermediate and larger prostate groups,but there was no significant difference (P =0.152).ConclusionMen with smaller prostate may have more high-grade cancer and more advanced disease after laparoscopic radical prostatectomy.

To perform an evaluation of the on-going prospective clinical trials on particle radiation therapy and their impact on the current clinical practice as well as future clinical research and development.Furthermore,to briefly present the results of the registration trial of the IONTRIS particle therapy system at the Shanghai Proton and Heavy Ion Center.We used data from the clinicaltrials,gov and the Particle Therapy Collaborative Organization Group (PTCOG) website.After excluding retrospective and in silico studies,we examined and analyzed the prospective clinical trials for their ion type,targeting disease site,and nature.At the time of this analysis,149 prospective trials were identified on proton and carbon-ion radiation therapy,including 20 were carbon-ion and 129 trials were proton radiation focused,respectively.Except for 15 randomized phase Ⅱ/Ⅲ and Ⅲ trials,134 trials were phase 0-Ⅱ trials.Tumors from nearly all body parts were covered by the on-going trials,but trials on pediatric,GI,lung,prostate,and breast cancer account for the majority.The majority of the currently on-going trials focus on the efficacy and adverse-effects of the new dose/fractionation schemes of particle therapy as well as the use of particle therapy on new indications.Few studies invcstigate the addition of adjuvant therapy or imaging technology used in adjunct with particle therapy.Randomized trials that compare particle radiation therapy versus photon radiation is relatively uncommon.Despite the prevailing use of proton and heavy-ion radiation therapy for cancer treatment,~ 150 prospective clinical trials associated with particle radiation therapy are identified.As the majority of trials aim to investigate more efficacious dose/fractionation and the application of particle therapy on new indications,improved outcome from and expanded utilization of particle radiation therapy can be expected.

Objective To summarize the minimally invasive transthoracic ventricular septal defect (VSD) occlusion operation experience in the clinical application. Methods 142 VSD patients (admitted from August, 2013 to October, 2014) were chosen. All patients were treated with minimally invasive transthoracic device closure under the monitoring of transoesophageal echocardiogram. Results 136 cases received successful closure, and 6 cases still need CPB conventional extracorporeal circulation operation. After follow-up for 3 ~ 12 months for 102 patients, 16 cases remain residual shunt. Conclusion The short-term therapeutic effect of minimally invasive transthoracic device closure of VSD is satisfying. However , the long-term follow-up remains to be studied.

ObjectiveTo study the effects of dexamethasone local injection as an adjunctive therapy for Hashimoto thyroiditis (HT). Methods60 HT cases were equally divided into 2 groups at random. The patients in the control group were given euthyrpx while the patients in the treated group were injected dexamethasone in addition to the medicine used in the control group. The thyroid characters such as thickness, lymphocytic infiltration and changes of thyroid follicle were observed. The patients were followed up before treatment and 4, 12, 24weeks and 1 year after treatment. ResultsIn the treatment group, all thyroid glands turned significantly softer,and the mass became smaller compared with that in the control group. The pathology of thyroids indicated that lymphocytic infiltration decreased, local immune reaction was ameliorated, and no obvious hormone side effects were observed. ConclusionLocal use of dexamethasone can modify the structure and function of thyroid.

: ObjectiveTo compare the clinical significance of motor unit number estimates (MUNE) and conventional electromyogram (EMG) in the evaluation of neuromuscular disorders. MethodsUnder the model of MUNE or quantity of motor unit potential (QMUP), 53 patients with various neurogenic disorders were tested with EMG at extensor digitorum brevis, thenar, or hypothenar eminence. ResultsFor 8 patients with amyotrophic lateralizing sclerosis, large and long-duration polyphasic potentials were detected in needle electrode EMG tests, and the motor unit numbers reduced. For 45 patients with peripheral neuropathies, few distinctive features could not be detected by needle electrode EMG, but motor unit numbers reduced in 2 patients; spontaneous activities were the only abnormality in the other 2 patients, and there were no obviously abnormal changes in the configuration and size of motor unit potentials and in motor unit numbers; EMG tests revealed neurogenic features and motor unit numbers significantly reduced in the remaining 41 patients. ConclusionConventional EMG and MUNE can work for the diagnosis of neuromuscular disorders, and do better in combination.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the value of MRI diffusion weighted imaging in localization of prostate cancer with whole-mount step section pathology.MethodsWe treated 36 patients using laparoscopic radical prostatectomy from Oct. 2009 to Jun. 2010. Patients who did not have an MRI/DWI examination or a surgical history of prostate and previous hormonal therapy were excluded, leaving 19 patients in our study. We analyzed the MRI and DWI collected before radical prostetectomy surgey and the post-surgery step section pathology made by the whole mount technique. The prostatic gland was divided into six sections. Two doctors read the MRI/DWI without knowing the patients' information and scored, using a 5 point scale, for each section. The tissue was graded according to the following scale: 1-definitely no cancer, 2-probably no cancer, 3-possible cancer, 4-probable cancer and 5-definite cancer. When the average score ≥4 the region was assumed to be the prostate cancer region by MRI or MRI/DWI.ResultsIn 19 patients with 114 regions, there were 48 (42%) prostate cancer regions approved by whole-mount step section pathologically.The number of prostate cancer regions was 15 (39%), 21 (55%) and 12 (32%) in base, mid and apex parts respectively. The sensitivity and specificity of the MRI was 62.5% and 69.7%. When considering DWI, the specificity and sensitivity was elevated to 79.1% and 83.3%. As for the apex and mid parts, the sensitivities of MRI were a little bit low (46.7% and 66.7% ). But the sensitivities of localization of prostate cancer for the apex and mid of prostate were elevate to 73.3% and 85.7% respectively when DWI was also used.ConclusionsWith whole-mount step-section pathology, the combination of MRI and DWI can improve the sensitivity of MRI for localized diagnosis in prostate cancer, especially in apex and mid parts of the prostate.

Objective Linkage analysis were performed in 2 pure Chinese paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia families to localize the locus of them. Method Microsatellites markers corresponding to pericentrometric region of chromosome 16 were used in parametric and nonparametrie linkage analysis for 27 members in the 2 pedigrees, haplotypes were constructed subsequently. Result The maximum LOD score and NPL score in the 2 families were all negative, P values were significantly larger than 0.05.No haplotype segregated with PKD phenotype was found. It showed no evidence of association with known PKD loci in both pedigrees, providing evidence for a novel PKD locus. Conclusion PKD is heterogeneous, a novel PKD locus may be in pure Chinese pedigrees.
