Objective To explore the factors imfluencing the prognosis of patients with renal cell carcinoma after laparoscopic partial nephrectomy.Methods Clinical data from 593 renal cell carcinoma patients underwent laparoscopic partial nephrectomy in our institution from December 2010 to December 2015 were retrospectively collected..Tbere were 396 males and 197 females,aged 35 to 72 years old(mean 55.4 years).There were 181 cases of smoking history,206 cases of hypertension and 105 cases of diabetes.Before operation,98 cases of liver function were damaged and 122 cases were anemia.There were 521 cases with PLT < 450 × 109/L,72 cases PLT≥ 450 × 109/L.Thc tumor of 292 cases on the left and 301 cases on the right.The Kaplan-Meier method log-rank test was used for survival analysis.Univariate analysis and factors which were significantly associated with survival in the univariate analysis were conducted into the multivariate analysis with Cox proportional hazards model.Results The operative time was 88.0-120.6 min,mean 104.3 min,the blood loss during operation was 47.2-157.8 ml,mean 102.5 ml. Pathological tumor stage revealed that 398 cases were T1 and 195 cases were T2 . Fuhrman classification revealed that 29 cases were grade Ⅰ,411 cases were grade Ⅱ,150 cases grade Ⅲ,3 cases grade Ⅳ . The median follow-up time was 36 months(ranged 6 to 99 months) . Five cases (1.3%) in the T1 patients relapsed,recurrencefree survival (RFS) rate was 98.7%;In the T2 patients,7 cases (3.6%) relapsed,1 of them had local recurrence and died of lung metastasis,and the RFS rate was 96.4%.Univariate analysis revealed that T stage,Fuhrman grade,tunor necrosis,tumor pseudocapsule,lymphovascular invasion,collection system violation,anemia,and high platelet were significantly associated with RFS of patients.Multivariate analysis found that T stage (HR =1.524,95 % CI 1.326-1.926,P =0.001),Fuhrman grade (HR =1.600,95 % CI 1.035-2.364,P =0.022),tumor necrosis (HR =2.315,95% CI 1.523-3.624,P =0.001) were independent risk factors for the RFS of patients with renal cell carcinoma after retroperitoneal laparoscopic partial nephrectomy.Conclusion High T stage,high Fuhrman grade and tumor necrosis were independent risk factors for the RFS of patients with renal cell carcinoma after retroperitoneal laparoscopic partial nephrectomy.

Objective To analyze the correlation of perfusion parameters obtained by functional multi-slice computed tomography (fMSCT) with vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) detected with immunohistochemistry on rabbit model with VX2 breast cancer and noninvasively evaluate the vascularization of untreated VX2 breast cancer in vivo. Methods Sixteen New Zealand femal rabbits were selected and suspension (1 ml) of mass was injected around the breast areola. CT perfusion was performed after two weeks and perfusion parameters including blood flow (BF), blood volume (BV), mean transit time (MTT)and permeability surface (PS) were assessed. Expression of VEGF in neoplasm was detected with immunohistochemistry. Paried t test was used for the comparison of perfusion parameters between the tumor and muscle and Pearson correlation analysis was used to assess the correlation of VEGF with perfusion parameters. Results The mean value of BF, BV, MTT and PS were (228.21 ± 13. 13 ) ml · min-1100 mg-1 ,(13.45 ± 1.01) ml · 100 mg-1 ,(3. 50 ±0. 20) sand (7.85 ±1.18) ml · min-1 · 100 mg-1 in tumor, respectively. They were (66. 10 ±22. 11 ) ml · min-1 · 100 mg-1 , ( 1.88 ± 1.80) ml · 100 mg-1,(23. 87 ±0. 63)s,(1.55 ±0. 38)ml · min-1 · 100 mg-1 in muscular tissue, respectively. The mean value of BF, BV and PS in tumor were obviously higher than those in muscle, and the mean value of MTT in tumor was lower than that in muscle. There were significant differences in CT perfusion parameters between tumor and muscle (t = 61.83,13.63,27.72,20. 54, P < 0. 01 ). The mean value of VEGF in tumor was 7. 33 ±0. 27 and there were positive correlation with BF ( r = 0. 712, P < 0. 01 ), BV ( r = 0. 647, P < 0. 01 ), PS ( r =0. 627 ,P < 0. 01 ), and negative correlation with MTT ( r = - 0. 564, P < 0. 05 ). Conclusion MSCT perfusion imaging can be used to noninvasively evaluate the vascularization in rabbits with untreated VX2 breast cancer in vivo.

Objective To investigate the expression of sodium iodide symporter (NIS ) mRNA in differentiated thyroid Carcinoma (DTC)and further explore its value in clinical diagnosis and therapy of DTC. Methods The expression of NIS mRNA was detected and analyzed in 21 nodular goiter and 45 cases of DTC (including 35 cases of papillary thyroid carcinoma and 10 cases of follicular thyroid carcinoma)by using real-time fluorescent quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (real-time RT-PCR).Results Compared with that in nodular goiter,the mRNA expression of NIS in DTC tissue was significantly decreased (P < 0.05 ). Moreover,the mRNA expression of NIS was significantly correlated with lymph node metastasis and AJCC stage, respectively.The expression of NIS mRNA in DTC with lymph node metastasis was significantly decreased compared with that in DTC without lymph node metastasis (P <0.05).In addition,the expression of NIS mRNA in Ⅱ-Ⅳstage DTC was significantly decreased compared with that in Ⅰ - Ⅱ stage DTC (P < 0.05 ).Conclusion Differential expression of NIS can provide evidence for individual 1 3 1 I therapy for DTC.

[ ABSTRACT] AIM:To investigate the inhibitory effect of Am80 on neointima hyperplasia in carotid arteries after balloon injury and to observe the interaction between Krüppel-like factor 4 (KLF4) and retinoic acid receptorα(RARα). METHODS:Neointima hyperplasia in carotid arteries was observed by hemotoxylin and eosin staining.The expression of KLF4 and cyclin D1 was examined by immunostaining and Western blotting analysis.To detect the interaction between KLF4 and RARαin the vascular tissue, the injured arteries were harvested, and the protein extracts were prepared and subjected to co-immunoprecipitation assay.RESULTS:Compared with injured group, Am80 significantly reduced neointi-mal hyperplasia and the thickness ratio of intima to media.Am80 not only up-regulated KLF4 or RARαexpression in caro-tid arteries, but also increased the interaction between KLF4 and RARαat tissue levels.CONCLUSION:Am80 inhibits neointima hyperplasia in carotid arteries after balloon injury by promoting the interaction between KLF4 and RARα.
