BACKGROUND: Presently, the kidney source is limited. Urinary fistula-induced nephrectomy of transplanted kidney is regrettable. Reasonable diagnosis of urinary fistula should be paid great attention by workers of organ transplantation. OBJECTIVE: To study the diagnosis and treatment of the urinary fistula in kidney transplantation patients. METHODS: The clinical data of 16 patients with the urinary fistula following kidney transplantation, who was recruited from the Organ Transplantation Center, Fuzhou General Hospital of Nanjing Military Area Command of Chinese PLA, were retrospectively analyzed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The morbidity of the urinary fistula following kidney transplantation was 1.26%, the conservative treatment were used to 13 cases of simple urinary fistulas, 11 of 13 cases were successful (84.6%). 2 case failed (15.4%), pedicled omentum grafts were successful used to treat 3 cases of complex urinary fistulas after renal transplantation by one operation. Intensive care and active measures should be given to the urinary fistula patients after kidney transplantation. The key to the successful treatment involved with the diagnosis in early stage and the correct measures. With biological characteristics of omentum, applying pedicled omentum grafts to repair complex urinary fistulas and simple urinary fistulas which were failure of the conservative treatment after renal transplantation has advantages as followings, convenient to draw material, recovering tissue quickly and low recurrence rate. It is fit for clinic.

Purpose To explore the relationship between the mutations of epidermal growth factor receptor ( EGFR) and KRAS genes and clinicopathological characteristics in patients with non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLC). Methods Clinical samples from 431 NSCLC patients were obtained for EGFR and KRAS gene analysis. PCR based direct DNA sequencing was used to investigate mutations in exon 18-21 of EGFR gene and codon 12 and 13 of exon 2 of KRAS gene. Results The overall EGFR mutation rate of primary NSCLC was 53. 6% (231/431) in this study cohort and eight cases showed double EGFR mutations. Mutation rates in female and male were 65. 2% (122/187) and 46. 9% (98/209), respectively. The mutation rate was higher in patients with non-smokers and adeno-carcinoma and adenosquamous carcinoma subtypes than in their counterparts (P<0. 05), with the percentage of 57. 2% (124/216), 60. 3% (199/330), 42. 9% (6/14), respectively. In squamous cell carcinomas and other subtypes, EGFR mutation rates were 11. 6% (5/43) and 11. 1% (1/9), respectively. The EGFR mutation types included exon 18 point mutations (4. 0%, 9/227), exon 19 deletion mutations (4. 5%, 101/227), exon 20 insert or point mutations (9. 7%, 22/227) and exon 21 point mutations (41. 4%, 94/227). Activating mutations of KRAS gene were detected in 7. 8%(31/396) of NSCLC. Twenty-eight patients showed codon 12 mutations ( G>T, G>A, G>C) , and three patients had codon 13 mutations ( G>A, G>T) . Most of these mutations were G to T transversion (64. 5%, 20/31). Conclusion Polymerase chain reaction-direct sequencing is a reliable and effective method for the detection of the EGFR and KRAS gene mutation in NSCLC patients. The mutation rate of EGFR is higher in Chinese patients, especial-ly in non-smoking female patients with adenocarcinoma.

Objective:To discuss the influence and curative effect of intensive lipid-lowering with atorvastatin on blood fat and ser-um inflammatory factors levels in the patients with acute cerebral infarction. Methods:Totally 94 cases of patients with acute cerebral infarction were divided into the intensive group(n=47) and the ordinary group (n=47). The patients in the two groups were given the basic medical treatment, such as reducing intracranial pressure and dehydration, controlling blood pressure and blood sugar, anti-platelet aggregation, neural protection and etc. The patients in the ordinary group were orally given 20mg atorvastatin calcium tablets, once a day, while the patients in the intensive group were additionally given 40mg atorvastatin calcium tablets, once a day, and the treatment course was 8 weeks. The changes of blood fat index and serum inflammatory factors of hs-CRP, TNF-αand IL-10 in the two groups before and after the medical treatment were detected, and the clinical curative effect was compared as well. Results:After the 8-week medical treatment, TC, TG and LDL-C levels in the two groups were declined at different degree, while HDL-C levels were in-creased at different degree (P<0. 05 or P<0. 01), and the changes in the intensive group was more notable than those in the ordinary group (P<0. 05). After the treatment, the serum hs-CRP and TNF-αlevels in the two groups were declined at different degree, while serum IL-10 levels were increased at different degree (P<0. 05 or P<0. 01), and the changes in the intensive group was more signifi-cant than those in the ordinary group (P<0. 05). Meanwhile, the total clinical efficiency in the intensive group (95. 74%) was much higher than that in the ordinary group (80. 85%, P<0. 05). Respectively 2 and 4 cases of untoward effect were appeared in the ordi-nary group and the intensive group without statistical difference between the two groups(P>0. 05). Conclusion:Intensive lipid-lower-ing with atorvastatin has significant curative effect with favorable security on acute cerebral infarction, which can obviously improve the degree of neural function defect, and the mechanism may related with reducing blood fat, serum hs-CRP and TNF-αlevels, increasing serum IL-10 levels and inhibiting topical inflammatory reactions.

Objective To compare the diagnostic efficiencies of different scanning schemes of dualphase 99Tcm-methoxyisobutylisonitrile (MIBI) planar imaging with or without SPECT/CT in the preoperative localization of parathyroid lesions.Methods Forty-two patients (20 males,22 females;average age (53.1 ± 14.8) years) with primary or secondary hyperparathyroidism who underwent parathyroidectomy from June 2011 to June 2016 were analyzed retrospectively.All patients underwent dual-phase 99Tcm-MIBI planar scan and dual-phase SPECT/CT scan.The images were collected according to the following 4 procedures:dualphase planar imaging (S1),dual-phase planar imaging+early-phase SPECT/CT (S2),dual-phase planar imaging+delayed-phase SPECT/CT (S3),dual-phase planar imaging+dual-phase SPECT/CT (S4).Pathological results were considered as the gold standard.A total of 168 parathyroid glands in 42 patients were evaluated by the 4 imaging procedures respectively.The diagnostic efficiencies were calculated and compared by x2 test.Results Seventy-eight abnormal parathyroid lesions were found.The diagnostic sensitivities of S1,S2,S3,S4 were 66.7％ (52/78),89.7％(70/78),69.2％(54/78),89.7％(70/78),and the accuracies were 78.6％ (132/168),94.0％ (158/168),85.1％ (143/168),94.0％ (158/168),respectively.The diagnostic accuracies of S2 and S4 were significantly higher than those of S1 and S3 (x2 values:17.027 and 7.176,both P＜0.01).Condusions The dual-phase planar imaging together with early-phase and dualphase SPECT/CT imaging have high diagnostic efficiencies in the preoperative localization of parathyroid lesions.Considering reducing radiation dose and examine time,the dual-phase planar imaging together with early-phase SPECT/CT is a better choice.
