Breast-specific gamma imaging (BSGI) and positron emission mammography (PEM) have the high resolution in diagnosing breast lesions with minimum diameter of 3 mm.Both BSGI and PEM are functional imaging modalities,which have no relation with breast tissue density,implanted prosthesis,scar formation and so on.This review elaborates the application of BSGI and PEM in the early diagnosis,treatment protocols and evaluation of efficacy for the patients with breast cancer.

Surgical treatment of pelvic fracture-associated urethral injury(PFUI) continues to be a difficult problem to be solved in urology.Children with an immature prostate and puboprostatic ligament may suffer from posterior urethral disruptions in a manner different from adults.Considering these distinctions,the management of pediatric PFUI presents a challenge for urologist as no consensus or algorithm has been proposed or accepted.Now,through analyzing the pathogenesis,presentation,diagnosis and treatment of PFUI,give the principle of the management.The choice of immediate repair or delayed repair should be decided according to the particular situation.Immediate Ⅰ stage anastomosis of urethra for PFUI is recommended when the patient's condition is stable,serious complications are treated,and the surgeon is experienced.If the patient's condition is unstable or no experienced urologist is available,a suprapubic catheter should be placed for bladder decompression and try to get a good condition for delayed urethroplasty.

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 explore the characteristic clinical profiles and treatment modalities of Fetal rhabdomyomatous nephroblastoma(FRN).Methods A retrospective study was conducted for 14 FRN patients from Jan.2000 to Oct.2015.Their clinical data were collected including clinical presentations,pathology and treatment modalities.There were 8 males and 6 females with a mean age of 23 months.There were 3 cases at left side and right side 5 cases,bilateral 6 cases.2 patients were classified as stage Ⅰ,1 stage Ⅱ,5 stageⅢ and 6 stageⅤ.Abdominal mass was the main clinical presentation in 11 patients,and 1 case with hematuria,1 with abdominal pain,and 1 with vomit.Most tumors showed cysts or completely solid from the ultrasonography.Computed tomographic scan revealed a large inhomogeneous enhancement tumor from the kidney pole with necrotic,cystic,bleeding or calcification.Ultrasonography and Computed tomography (CT) had no different performance from Wilms' tumor.9 patients received preoperative chemotherapy,and the response was none in all of them.8 unilateral patients underwent tumor nephrectomy and another 4 had nephron-sparing surgery.Results Pathology showed that FRN contained more than 70％ of fetal rhabdomyomatous tissue.Immunohistochemistry had no specificity,most FRN shows Desmin (+) and Myogenin(+).Bilateral FRN tumors were seen in 2,one side with FRN and another side with nephroblastomatosis were seen in 3,one side with FRN and another side with Wilm's tumor was seen in 1 patient.Postoperative pathology confirmed FRN in all 14 cases.All patients received postoperative chemotheraphy:Act-D and VCR for 6 month(stage Ⅰ),Act-D and VCR for 15 month(stage Ⅱ),Act-D +VCR + ADR and radiotherapy for 15 month(stageⅢ).During follow-up of 6 months to 15 years,10 of them were alive without tumor and no evidence of recurrence.Conclusions FRN is a rare histologic variant of Wilm's tumor with less aggressive behavior.FRN usually has a huge volume and is bilateral with a poor responder to preoperative chemotherapy,but it is associated with a generally favorable outcome.Surgery and chemically treatment appears the effective measure.

Objective To summarize and analyze the intraoperative and postoperative complications arising from the Anderson-Hynes transperitoneal laparoscopic pyeloplasty (LP) procedure in the treatment of patients with ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO).Methods There were 154 consecutive patients who underwent transperitoneal LP between November 2011 and December 2015.These patients' data were retrospectively analyzed for intraoperative and postoperative complications.All the 154 patients were primary UPJO.Of the 154 patients,124 (80.7％) were males and 30 (19.3％) were females,114(74.0％) were found in the left side,32(21.0％)were found in the right side,while 8 (5.0％)were found in bilateral.The mean age was 3.9 years old(ranged 8-180 months).28 patients(18.2％) have the history of urological infection or flank pain.Results Mean operative time was 89 minutes (ranged 42-330 min).The mean blood loss was 7.5ml (ranged 2-50 ml),and no blood transfusions were necessary intra-and post-operatively.The mean postoperative hospital stay was 5.7 days (ranged 3-28 days).The mean follow-up duration was 28 months (ranged 6-54 months).2 laparoscopic surgeries were converted into open surgeries.One patient suffered with repeated infection after removing the double J stent two months postoperatively.The ultrasound and intravenous urography showed the more severe obstruction compared to that before surgery.The second operation was performed and resolved this problem.The overall success rate was 98％.All 28 patients,who has preoperative symptoms,reported a complete resolution of symptoms after the procedure.Intraoperative complication occurred in 11 (7.1％) patients,including injury of parapyelic vessel while in 3 (1.9％),the misplacement of the Double-J stent in 6 (3.8％),conversion to laparotomy in 2(1.3％).The postoperative complications occurred in 24(15.6％) patients,including urine leakage in 10(6.5％),infectious urinoma in 7 (4.5％),infection after removing the Double-J in 4 (2.6％),temporary intestinal obstruction,recurrent UPJO were in 1 (0.6％)respectively.Conclusions Our retrospective analysis confirmed that LP is an effective and safe procedure.The most common intraoperative complications are difficulty in double-J stent insertion.The most common postoperative complication is urine leakage.

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 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 investigate the radiosensitiation effect of berberine on human nasopharyngeal carcinoma ( NPC) in hypoxia condition and explore the underlying mechanisms. Methods MTT assay, clonogenic assay and flow cytometry were performed to analyze cell proliferation, colony formation and apoptosis, respectively. Male nude mice inoculated subcutaneously with CNE-2 cells were used to examine the radiosensitization effect of berberine in vivo. The expressions of HIF-1α and VEGF were assessed by Western blot. Results Berberine efficiently inhibited the proliferation of CNE-2 cells in time-dependent and dose-dependent fashions with an IC50 of ( 14?9 ± 2?2 ) μmol/L. Clonogenic survival assay showed that berberine ( 5 μmol/L ) sensitized CNE-2 cells to ionizing radiation in hypoxia and its SERD0 was 1?27. Under hypoxic condition, berberine alone (5, 15 μmol/L) could induce apoptosis (t=5?01, 9?02,P<0?05) and it further promoted 8 Gy radiation-induced apoptosis (t =5?31, 9?91,P <0?05). Moreover, berberine significantly delayed the tumor growth in the combination group (berberine +irradiation) compared with the mice received irradiation alone or PBS (t =2?96, 14?52, P <0?05). Immunobloting assay showed that berberine inhibited the upregulation of HIF-1α and VEGF induced by hypoxia in CNE-2 cells. Conclusion Berberine confers radiosensitivity on hypoxic NPC in vitro and in vivo, which is probably associated with the downregulation of HIF-1α and VEGF expressions.

This article was aimed to study the main effective substances and characteristics of Ke-Luo-Xin (KLX) capsule. HPLC-DAD system was applied in the establishment of HPLC finger prints of serum of rats after taking KLX capsule. And then, serum samples taken KLX capsule, blank blood serum, and single crude drugs were com-pared. Constituents absorbed into the serum were determined by HPLC-DAD system. The results showed that meth-ods for serum HPLC fingerprinting had good precision, reproducibility and stability. A total of 13 constituents migrat-ing to the blood were detected, of which 9 were prototype constituents, 4 were metabolites. Prototype constituents in-cluded aloeemodin and chrysophanic acid. It was concluded that 13 constituents migrating to the blood may be the main effective substances of KLX capsule.
