Background and purpose:Loss of the tumor suppressor phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome 10 (PTEN) is one of the most common somatic genetic aberrations in prostate cancer in Western countries and is frequently associated with tumor progression and poor prognosis. This study aimed to investigate the frequency of PTEN protein loss in Chinese prostate cancer patients and to determine its association with the biochemical recurrence of prostate cancer.Methods:The data from 225 diagnosed localized prostate cancer patients with radical prostatectomy from 2006 to 2011 were collected retrospectively, including patient’s age at diagnosis, prostate-speciifc antigen (PSA) level at diagnosis, Gleason score, clinical stage, surgical margin, and time to biochemical recurrence or not. This study performed PTEN protein immunohistochemistry on tissue microarrays, which were made from 225 Chinese prostate cancer patients mentioned above, treated by radical prostatectomy with one case including 2 cancer spots and 2 adjacent normal gland spots. Correlations of PTEN loss with clinicopathological features were analyzed usingχ2 test. Kaplan-Meier survival model and Cox proportional hazards regression model were used to evaluate the predictive role of PTEN protein expression and patient characteristics for biochemical recurrence. Results:PTEN protein loss was observed in 15% of the patients and was associated with increased preoperative PSA levels (P=0.03) and old age (P=0.009). In univariate Kaplan–Meier analysis, the factors associated with the biochemical recurrence of prostate cancer included PSA levels (P=0.000 4), Gleason sum (P=0.019 8), and PTEN status (P=0.013 1). In multivariable Cox regression analysis, PTEN expression (HR=0.536, P=0.044), PSA levels (HR=1.879, P=0.001), and Gleason score (HR=1.361,P=0.03) were signiifcant in predicting biochemical recurrence of prostate cancer.Conclusion:PTEN protein loss is associated with an increased risk of recurrence, independent of known clinicopathological factors.

BACKGROUND:There are objections to the efficacy and safety of total hip arthroplasty and artificial femoral head arthroplasty in the treatment of femoral neck fracture.
OBJECTIVE:To assess the efficacy and safety of one-stage total hip arthroplasty and femoral head arthroplasty for > 60-year-old patients with femoral neck fractures.
METHODS:According to the search strategy of Cochrane colaboration network, we searched PubMed (1966 to December 2014), EMbase (1974 to December 2014), Cochrane Library (Issue 3, 2011), China Biology Medicine database(1978 to December 2014), China National Knowledge Infrastructure (1994 to December 2014), VIP database (1989 to December 2014), and Wanfang Database (1979 to December 2014). Twenty-one articles on total hip arthroplasty and hemiarthroplasty for elderly femoral neck fractures were included. Two reviewers independently evaluated the quality of the included studies and extracted the data. In case of disagreement, settlement was made by negotiation. Meta-analysis was performed by RevMan 5.0 software in the included studies.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) Literature analysis: five randomized controled studies, three quasi-randomized controled studies, and thirteen retrospective cohort studies were included, containing 2 250 patients. (2) Meta-analysis: No significant differencein rate of dislocation, deep infection rate and mortality rate in 1 year after replacement was detected between total hip arthroplasty and hemiarthroplasty for elderly femoral neck fractures (dislocation rate:RR=1.38, 95%CI: 0.81-2.34; deep infection rate RR=1.12, 95%CI: 0.60-2.11; mortality rateRR=0.90, 95%CI: 0.69-1.18). Reoperation rate was higher in the hemiarthroplasty group than in the total hip arthroplasty group (RR=0.46, 95%CI: 0.32-0.66). Harris score on the affected side between1 and 4 years was significantly higher in the total hip arthroplasty group than in the hemiarthroplasty group (MD=5.64, 95%CI: 2.82-8.46). (3) Results suggested that if physical conditions permit, compared with hemiarthroplasty group, femoral neck fractures patients aged > 60 years old in the total hip arthroplasty group had better hip function, but no significant difference was found in dislocation, deep infection and mortality between both groups.

Purpose To investigate the clinicopathological features of multilocular cystic renal cell carcinoma ( MCRCC) , and to im-prove the understanding of this disease. Methods Thirty-two of MCRCC were studied by clinic data, pathological features and immu-nophenotype. All the thirty-two cases were followed up. Results In this study, thirty-two patients were diagnosed as MCRCC with a male-to-female ratio of 2.2 : 1, thirteen of whom had the tumor in the left kidney, eighteen in the right kidney, another in the double kidneys. The mean of tumor diameter was 4.6 cm (1.0~8.0 cm). Eleven patients underwent radical nephrectomy while the other 21 patients received nephron sparing surgery. Microscopically, all the cases were multiocular, lined in the cyst wall by a single layer of tumor cells with the clear or pale cytoplasm and Fuhrman grade 1 nuclei. Occasionally, the lining consisted of several layers of tumor cells or a few small papillae were present. The linings of the cyst wall were rich in thin-wall blood vessels. Immunohistochemically, the tumor cells were positive for CK(32/32), CK7(25/32), EMA(32/32), CD10(23/32) and vimentin(20/32), while negative for CD68. Conclusions MCRCC is characteristic by low grade nuclei, lacking solid nodules, and in the cyst wall, and has a favourable prognosis. The rich in thin-wall blood vessels and the lining cells with the clear or pale cytoplasm are diagnosis clues.

Objective To investigate the effect of activation of NF-κB signaling pathway on pathogenesis of lung in diabetes mellitus(DM) rat. Methods The experimental type 2 diabetic rats were built by injecting streptozotocin (STZ) and feeding with high fat and glucose food. At the 12nd and 24th week, we observed the alteration of morphology in the lung of rats in the control group(20 rats) ,the DM group(30 rats)using spectroscopic analysis. The collagen accumulation of lung was observed by masson trihrome staining, and alteration of NF-κB P65, IκBα, and PKC in lung was observed by immunohistochemistry. Results The tissue structure of lung in the DM rats distributed deranged in the light microscope, alveolar wall were thicken, extracellular matrixes increased and pulmonary fibrosis appeared. With the development of pathogenic condition, the expression increased obviously. The staining optical density value of NF-κB P65 in tissue of lung in the 12 w and 24 w DM group were 0. 20 ± 0. 01 and 0. 35 ± 0. 06 respectively, which was significantly higher than those of the control group at the corresponding time point ( 0. 12 ± 0. 02 and 0. 17 ± 0. 03, respectively, Ps ＜ 0. 0l ). The staining optical density value of IκB in tissue of lung in the 12 w and 24 w DM group were 0. 29 ±0. 02 and 0. 36 ± 0. 03, respectively, which were significantly higher than those of the control at the corresponding time point (0. 08 ± 0. 02 and 0. 22 ± 0. 08, respectively, Ps ＜ 0. 01 ). Conclusion The signaling pathway of NF-κB/IκB participate in the occurrence and development in the pathogenesis of lung in DM, and may be one of the mechanisms of lung injury.

BACKGROUND: Aseptic loosening occurs after long-term total hip replacement, which directly affects the service life and prospective efficacy of artificial joints. The particles produced by artificial joint wear lead to the surrounding bone dissolved, further cause loosening, among which, polyethylene particles because of acetabular liner wear stand out. OBJECTIVE: To systematically assess the acetabular liner wear, loosening and osteolysis caused by cross-linked polyethylene or conventional polyethylene after total hip arthroplasty. METHODS: A computer-based research of Medline, EMbase, CBM, CNKI, CqVip, WanFang databases before December 2015 and Cochrane (3rd issue, 2011) was performed in accordance with the retrieval strategy made by Cochrane collaboration. A manual retrieval of related bone journals and conference papers was conducted. Eleven randomized controlled trials about the wear caused by cross-linked polyethylene or conventional polyethylene after total hip arthroplasty were enrolled based on inclusion criteria, followed by a Meta-analysis using RevMan 5.0 software. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) Eleven randomized controlled trials involving 952 patients were included. (2) Meta-analysis showed that the acetabular liner wear rate of cross-linked polyethylene was significantly lower than that of conventional polyethylene at 5 years postoperatively [MD=-0.07, CI(-0.09, -0.05), I2=93%, P < 0.00001]; the large heterogeneity was decreased [MD=-0.06, 95%CI (-0.07, -0.04), I2=39%, P < 0.00001] after three research removed through sensitivity analysis. (3) The osteolysis rate in the cross-linked polyethylene group was significantly lower than that in the conventional polyethylene group [RR=0.39, 95%CI (0.27, 0.57), I2=0%, P < 0.00001]. (4) These results suggest that the cross-linked polyethylene liners exhibit reduced radiological wear and osteolysis, but the mean follow-up of 5 years (1.8 to 8.0) cannot meet the long-term requirements. Therefore, multi-central, large sample size and high-quality randomized controlled trials are needed to testify the efficacy and safety of cross-linked polyethylene.BACKGROUND: Aseptic loosening occurs after long-term total hip replacement, which directly affects the service life and prospective efficacy of artificial joints.
