Objective To improve the diagnosis and treatment of inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) of the urinary tract in pediatric.Methods The retrospective study of 12 IMT was based on information retrieved from Beijing Children's Hospital from January 2006 to July 2015.The literatures of urinary IMT were reviewed.There were 12 cases of urinary IMT, with 8 cases in bladder, 2 in kidney, 1 in ureter and 1 in prostate.Mean age at surgery was 6.4 years old (range 2months-13 years), 6 cases males and 6 females.Tumor resection were performed in 11 patients, biopsy was performed only in 1 patient.Results HE staining revealed diffuse appearing spindle myofibroblastic cells admixed with inflammatory cells.Immunohistochemistry showed positive ration for following markers as ALK (8/12), CK18 (6/12), Desmin (7/12), SMA (8/12), Actin (1/2), Vimentin (9/12).Negative staining were seen for Myoglobin, S-100 and Ki-67 ＜ 20％.Patients were followed up in 10 cases, lost to follow-up in 2;the mean follow-up time was 14.4 months (range 3-31 months).All patients recovered well without relapse or metastasis.Condusions Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors of the urinary tract in pediatric were rare, without specific characteristic in clinical features and imaging.The main treatment of IMT is complete surgical excision.

Objective To discuss the clinical and pathological features of malignant rhabdoid tumor of the ureter (MRTU).Methods One case of MRTU was reported, a six-year-old girl was admitted to our hospital on May 29, 2014, and presented left loin pain 2 weeks, ultrasound showed gradually progressing hydronephrosis and hydroureter.During a physical examination, she felt tenderness in the left kidney area and no mass was palpable in abdomen.The ultrasound showed left sided gross hydroureteronephrosis and a round hyperechogenic mass in the inferior pole of the left ureter (In front of the left iliac vessel), with no obvious borders.Contrast-enhanced CT suggested a gross dilatation of the left kidney and ureter with a solidappearing lesion in the lower ureter;neither additional abdominal abnormalities nor enlarged lymph nodes were seen in both examinations.The surgery began with incision of left lower abdomen.The partial ureter of neoplasm was excised along with invaded psoas and posterior peritoneum by gross inspection, then ureteroureterostomy was performed.The severed ureter was completely blocked with the ill-defined neoplasm and was 3.3 cm in length and 2.1 cm in width.Results The ureteral neoplasm was excised,along with the invaded psoas and posterior peritoneum,after that ureteroureterostomy was performed.HE showed the diffuse large round nuclei, vesicular chromatin, prominent nucleoli cells, and moderate amounts of eccentrically placed eosinophilic cytoplasm.Immunohistochemical studies were positive for cytokeratin, epithelial membrance antigen and vimentin, negative for INI1, METU hereby was confirmed.She underwent a chemotherapy regimen consisting of ICE, alternating with VDC.Four courses chemotherapy (3 months) later,CT scan suggested hematogenous metastasis of lung.The family refused further treatment and the patient died of systemic metastasis eight months after surgery.Conclusion MRTU was a rare and highly aggressive tumor with a poor prognosis.

Objective To investigate the experience of diagnosis and management of coexisting ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) and nonreflux megaureter (NRM).Methods The retrospective study of UPJO with NRM was based on 10 years information retrieved from January 2005 to December 2015.The data of 13 patients (8 males and 5 females) were available and recorded.Mean age at surgery was 3.7 years old (range 1.8 to 14 years).The diagnosis and mangement were summarized.Coexisting ureterovesical junction obstruction (UVJO) and vesicoureteral reflux,iatrogenic stricture and vesicoureteral reflux were excluded.Intravenous pyelography,voiding cystourethrography,ultrasound and CT reconstruction were performed before operation.Only six patients had an accurate diagnosis as UPJO with UVJO before surgery.Pyeloplasty was the initial surgical management choice for 10 patients,and ureteroneocystostomy in 3 patients.Results UVJO were diagnosed with pyelography techniques in 3 patients after pyeloplasty,while 4 were diagnosed as nonreflux and nonobstruction megaureter.Of the 10 patients who underwent initial pyeloplasty,additional ureteroneocystostomy was required in 3 and the prognosis was good.Additional pyeloplasty was required in 2 of the 3 patients who initially underwent ureteroneoeystostomy.Mean follow-up time from last operation was 23.3 months (6-53 months),the overall prognosis was good.Conclusions It is often difficult to correctly diagnose coexisting UPJO and NRM.In patients with UPJO,it is highly recommended nephrostomy radiography after pyeloplasty to evaluate the distal ureterovesical junction.Initial pyeloplasty is always recommended as first-line therapy.Additional ureteroneocystostomy was required when hydroureteropelvic was aggravated.

Objective To summarize the experience about the diagnosis and treatment of bladder benign neoplasm in children.Methods A retrospective study was conducted for a total of 15 patients with bladder benign neoplasm from October 2006 to May 2016.There were 10 males and 5 females with a mean age of 8.7 years (ranging 1.1-13.8 years).The clinical manifestations of 15 patients included hematuria in 9 patients,frequent micturition with urgent and painful in 3 patients,dysuria in 1 patient,abdominal pain in 2 patients and headache during voiding in 1 patient.Ultrasound showed solid masses in the bladder with iso-echoic or nonhomogeneously hypoechoic.CT scanning showed regular or irregular mass with some enhancement in the bladder.All cases received tumor complete resection by opening operation and bladders were preserved.Among the 15 cases,neoplasms located in the anterior,posterior and lateral wall of bladder in 9 cases,ureteral orifice in 4 cases and trigone of bladder in 2 cases.The size of tumors ranged from 1.2 to 6.0 cm (mean 3.1 cm).The tumors were unifocal and seemed like papillary or cauliflower.The literatures of benign neoplasm of bladder were reviewed,which focused on the clinic characters,pathological classification and therapeutic method.Results Pathologic type included papilloma in 5 patients,inverted papilloma in 1 patient,inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor in 7 patients,hemangioma in 1 patient,pheochromocytoma in 1 patient.Fifteen patients were followed up for 6 to 36 months,mean 26.7 months.All patients recovered well without relapse or metastasis Conclusions Bladder benign neoplasm in children is rare with many kinds of pathological classification.The major clinical manifestation is gross hematuria while dysuria is unusual.Tumors are fewer in trigone of bladder.The best treatment is to resect the tumor completely with bladder preservation if possible.

Objective To investigate the characteristic of extrinsic vessel ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO).Methods From January 2006 to September 2016,37 cases of extrinsic vessel UPJO were retrospective studied.The patients'mean age at surgery was 8.4 years old (range 3-14 years),with 33 boys and 4 girls (left UPJO 27 cases,right 10 cases).There were 3 cases found hydronephrosis during pregnancy and 29 had recurrent abdominal pain.Mean antemposterior diameter of pelvis was (3.1 ±1.2) cm,and renal parenchyma thickness was (0.6-± 0.4) cm.The preoperative ultrasound did not detcet extrinsic vessel,while intravenous pyelography (IVP) showed significant dilation of calyx in extrinsic vessel UPJO.Results All the patients were performed with pyeloureteroplasty,the ureter lumens were found stenosis in 13 cases by pathology,while the remaining cases were not.Mean follow-up time from last operation was 9.3 months (6 to 24 months).Only 1 patient had postoperative complication,which was urinary tract infection and cured by antibiotic therapy.No one need second operation.Three to 6 months after operation,the anteroposterior diameter of pelvis was (1.5-± 1.4) cm which was significantly lower than preoperative (P ＜ 0.05),and renal parenchyma thickness was (0.7 ± 0.33) cm,which was not significantly different with preoperative (P ＞ 0.05).IVP showed the patency of the anastomosis and good function of kidney.Conclusions The preoperative diagnosis of extrinsic vessel UPJO was difficult,the diagnostic rate of extrinsic vessel UPJO could be improved if we found the characteristics of abdominal pain history,ultrasound and IVP.Extrinsic vessel UPJO might be accompanied by the lumens stenosis,so pyeloureteroplasty was recommended.

Objective To determine the efficacy and long-term outcome of pyeloureteroplasty in the ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) patients with poor kidney function(＜ 10％).Methods The data of UPJO patients with poor kidney function treated from January 2006 to September 2016,was retrospectively analyzed.The renal function ＜ 10％ undergoing pyeloureteroplasty were included.Ipsilateral vesicoureteric reflux,ureterovesical junction obstruction and renal dysplasia were excluded.39 patients was enrolled.There were 31 boys and 8 girls.The mean age at surgery was 3.1 years old (range 7 months-14 years).There were 36 primary UPJO and 3 extrinsic vessel cases.Twenty-seven cases of UPJO in left side,9 cases in right side,and 1 case in bilateral side.The preoperative examination included ultrasound,intravenous pyelography (IVU) and 99 mTc DTPA renography.Mean anteroposterior diameter of pelvis was (5.5 ± 2.4) cm before operation (range 3.4-7.4cm);IVU showed non visualized kidney or rim sign.The ill kidneys' mean renal function was (3.25 ± 2.78) ％ (range 0-9％).Results Open pyeloureteroplasty were performed in the 38 patients,additional nephrectomy was required in 1 because of repeated urinary infection,while the other patients had good prognosis,nephrostomy was kept until 2-3 days' successful clipping.Laparoscope pyeloplasty were performed in one patient with double-J.The patient had urinary infection post operation and was cured.The postoperative examination included ultrasound,intravenous pyelography and 99mTc DTPA renography were performed after 3-6 months.Mean anteroposterior diameter of pelvis was (3.2 ± 1.9) cm (range 2.1-4.5 cm);Intravenous urography showed visualized kidney;Mean renal function was (18.16 ± 13.17)％ (9％-27％).There was significant difference between preoperational and postoperational evaluation of renography and pelvis (P ＜ 0.05).There was no correlation between the changed renal function and age (P ＞ 0.05).The mean follow-up time was 10.2 months (range 6-25 months).Conclusions Pyeloureteroplasty could be safe and feasible for the UPJO patients with renal function less than 10％,and could improve the renal function.

Urethral fistula caused by anterior urethral valve combined with penile curvature is a rare clinical disease, which is rarely reported at home and abroad. We diagnosed 2 cases, treated with urethral diverticulum resection + urethral valve resection + dorsal albuginea of the penis + Duplay one-stage urethroplasty and urethral diverticulum resection + urethral valve resection + penis Dorsal albuginea fold + Duckett one-stage urethroplasty respectively. There were no surgical complications such as penile recurvation, urinary fistula, urethral stricture or urethral diverticulum, during the follow-up period of 10 and 15 months.

BACKGROUNDThe aim of this research was to investigate the impact of post-transplantation adjuvant chemotherapy in the prevention of tumor recurrence and metastasis for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) exceeding Milan criteria after liver transplantation.

METHODSA total of 117 patients with HCC exceeding the Milan criteria who had undergone orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) from August 2002 to February 2009 were enrolled and retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into four groups according to chemotherapy regimens and the impact of different chemotherapy regimens on survival, disease-free survival, and adverse effects were compared.

RESULTSOne year survival rates for the gemicitabine, conventional chemotherapy, oxaliplatin plus capecitabine and the best supportive care (BSC) group were 87.5%, 84.2%, 81.6%, and 67.5%. The 3-year survival rates were 48.1%, 25.9%, 31.6%, and 33.7%, respectively for the four groups. One year disease free survival rates for the four groups were 69.8%, 47.4%, 53.8%, and 45.7% respectively. And 3-year disease free survival rates were 43.2%, 23.7%, 23.6%, and 25.1% for the four groups. Stratification analysis showed that the gemcitabine regimen and conventional chemotherapy could significantly improve the survival rate and disease free survival rate for HCC patients who had major vascular invasion and/or microvascular invasion after liver transplantation compared with BSC group.

CONCLUSIONSFor HCC patients beyond Milan criteria, especially who had vascular invasion and/or micorvascular invasion, post-transplantation adjuvant chemotherapy can significantly improve survival. Gemcitabine is a proper regimen for postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy. Conventional chemotherapy can also benefit patients, but the adverse effects are not satisfactory.
