Objective To study the effect of leukoreduction transfusion on improving medical quality. Methods The cases in our hospital which had RBC transfusion records in the past 3 years were collected and divided into two groups: leukoreduction group(LR) and non-leukoreduction group(NLR). Through statistical analysis, the items related to leukoreduction were found out and the differences in these items between the two groups were compared. Results Operation complication, non-operation complication, infectious rate, transfusion reactions and mortality rate in LR group were significantly lower than those in NLR group. The transfusion of single components-RBC had less clinical side-effect than the transfusion of complex components including RBC. Conclusions Leukoreduction transfusion can effectively improve clinical therapy and promote the medical quality.

The postganglionic fibers arising from sympathetic nervous system dominate some activities in human body,such as secretion of sweat glands,vasoconstriction and pain transmission.While block its transmission can treat some certain diseases.Now sympathectomy is mainly applied in treating primary hyperhidrosis,peripheral artery disease (thromboangiitis obliteran,Raynaud's diseases),long Q-T syndrome,and intractable abdominal pain,and video-assisted surgery is the mainstream.Basing on the ensurement of efficacy,reasonable extension of resection range can reduce the incidence of compensatory hyperhidrosis.Primary hyperhidrosis,which applying widely,is the best indication for this sympathectomy.For peripheral artery disease (thromboangiitis obliteran,Raynaud' s diseases),long Q-T syndmme,and intractable abdominal pain,sympathectomy should be taken into consideration when drug treatment fails or taboos.Sympathectomy will become more minimally invasive as well as improve living quality for patients in the future.

Objective:To Explore the diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of FH-deficient renal cell carcinoma (FH-deficient RCC) with tumor thrombus, and share surgical experience.Methods:From August 2019 to October 2022, 6 cases of FH-deficient RCC with tumor thrombus were diagnosed and treated in our center, including 4 males and 2 females. The patients were aged 22 to 57 years, with 2 cases younger than 40 years, icluding 5 cases on the left and 1 case on the right. The median maximum diameter of the tumor is 8 (4.8, 14.0) cm. Operations were performed after complete examination (enhanced CT and other related examinations). One case underwent open surgery and palliative resection of the left kidney was performed because of severe adhesion of the inferior vena cava. Among the remaining 5 cases, 1 case underwent retroperitoneal laparoscopic right radical nephrectomy with inferior vena cava thrombectomy, 1 case underwent transabdominal laparoscopic left radical nephrectomy with inferior vena cava thrombectomy, and 3 cases underwent robot assisted laparoscopic left radical nephrectomy with inferior vena cava thrombectomy.Results:The median surgical time was 293 (185, 366) min, with blockage of the vena cava for 13 min and 28 min in 2 of 6 cases, respectively. The pathological report of renal tumor and tumor thrombus was FH-deficient renal carcinoma. The pathological features were as follows: the gross section of the specimen was gray yellow solid, often accompanied by necrosis, and the cystic cavity could be seen locally. Microscopically, the tumor extensively involved the renal parenchyma, with papillary, cribriform and tubular cystic structures. Immunohistochemistry showed FH (-), 2SC (+ ). The median postoperative hospital stay was 8 (4, 15) days. The median follow-up time was 13 (4, 27) months. One patient undergoing palliative resection of the left kidney underwent targeted therapy and radiotherapy after surgery (died 15 months after surgery due to gastrointestinal perforation). During the follow-up process, 4 cases experienced metastasis and received systematic treatment, with 1 death 27 months after surgery. Uterine leiomyomas were found in the remaining 1 case during follow-up.Conclusions:FH-deficient RCC with tumor thrombus is very rare. This disease is highly invasive, difficult to be diagnosed preoperatively and poor clinically prognostic. Operation combined with systemic therapy is an effective way to treat FH-deficient RCC with tumor thrombus.

【Objective】 To summarize the clinicopathological features and prognosis of young patients (18-40 years old) with non-clear cell renal cell carcinoma (nccRCC) treated in a single center to provide reference for the diagnosis and treatment of similar patients. 【Methods】 Clinical data of 113 nccRCC patients treated during Jan. 2012 and Aug. 2022 were retrospectively analyzed, including 57 males (50.4%) and 56 females (49.6%). The average age of onset was (31.6±5.8) years. Among all patients, 57 had lesions (50.4%) on the left side, and 56 (49.6%) on the right side. Young patients undergoing renal cancer surgery accounted for approximately 12.4% of the total number of renal cancer patients undergoing surgery, and nccRCC accounted for 34.8% of the total number of cases. 【Results】 Minimally invasive surgery (laparoscopic or robot-assisted) was performed in 102 cases (90.3%), and open surgery in 11 cases (9.7%). Fifty-five cases (48.7%) underwent partial nephrectomy and 58 (51.3%) radical nephrectomy. Among them, 11 patients (9.7%) developed tumor thrombi. All surgeries were successful with no serious complications. The pathological types included 32 cases (28.3%) of chromophobe renal cell carcinoma, 25 cases (22.1%) of MiT family translocation renal cell carcinoma, and 20 cases (17.7%) of papillary renal cell carcinoma. The total proportion of the three pathological subtypes reached 68.1%. After 46 (2-115) months of follow-up, 8 cases (7.8%, 8/102) developed tumor metastasis and 2 died. 【Conclusion】 The nccRCC is rare in young patients. The major pathological type is chromophobe, and the major treatment method is minimally invasive surgery. Most pathological types have good long-term prognosis, while patients with tumor thrombi have a high risk of metastasis and poor prognosis.
