Journal of Clinical Surgery 2015;(2):113-115
Objective To explore the best minimal invasive method in treating renal pelvic stones less than 1.5 cm.Methods A total of 90 patients with renal pelvic stone less than 1.5 cm were enrolled, including 47 cases of retrograde intrarenal surgery(RIRS)by rigid and flexible ureteroscopy with holmium laser lithotripsy,and 43 cases of percutaneous nephrolithotomy(PCNL)by holmium laser lithotripsy.Opera-tion time,stonefree rate(SFR),hospitalization,and complications were analyzed for comparison.Results The average sizes of stone in the RIRS group and PCNL group were 1.2 cm(range 1.0 ~1.5 cm)and 1.3 cm (1.0 ~1.5 cm),respectively.In the RIRS group,45(95.74%)patients out of 47 had complete clearance and 32 patients needed combination of flexible ureteroscopy to fragmentate the stones falling into the renal calices.The operation time was 44 min(range 27 ~70 min)with postoperative fever in 2 cases.The decrea-sing in hemoglobin and hematocrit was(0.18 ±0.06)g/L and 0.11%,respectively.No major complication was recorded.In PCNL group,the mean operation time was 70min(range 45 ~90 min)with a stone-free rate of 95.35%(41 /43).The decreasing in hemoglobin and hematocrit was(17.25 ±6.70)g/L and 5. 62%,respectively.The complications in PCNL group were postoperative fever in two cases and bleeding in two cases.Conclusion RIRS has the advantages of natural orifice endoscopic surgery in shortening opera-tion time,reducing blood transfusion requirements,and decreasing postoperative complications.For renal pelvic stone less than 1.5 cm,RIRS can be the primary choice.
9.Correlation of p53 expression with triple negative breast cancer and its prognosis:a meta analysis
Journal of Clinical Surgery 2015;(4):293-296
Objective To evaluate the expression of p53 in triple negative breast cancer( TNBC) and its impact on the prognosis of TNBC systematically. Methods Documents published on PubMed, Medline,CNKI,CNKI,Wanfang data,and VIP data were screened for relative researches. Two reviewers filtered,extracted and assessed the literatures according to the inclusion criteria and exclusion criteria. The meta analysis was conducted by using RevMan5. 0 software. Result A total 13 trails were included,con-taining 11 Chinese documents and 2 English documents. The meta analysis showed that p53 is significantly expressed in TNBC[OR=2. 02,95%CI(1. 28,3. 19)]. TNBC patients with positive p53 expression had higher rates in lymph node metastasis[OR=2. 02,95%CI(1. 28,3. 19)],recurrence[OR=3. 39,95%CI(1.45,7. 90)],metastasis[OR =2. 65(1. 36,5. 18)],disease-free survival[OR =0. 29(0. 18, 0. 47)]and overall survival[OR=0. 29(0. 18,0. 47)]than patients with negative p53 expression. Con-clusion p53 is overexpressed in TNBC,which plays a certain role in guiding the clinical prognosis of TN-BC. It can be regarded as an independent factor to evaluate the prognosis of TNBC,and a therapeutic tar-get in further studies.

[ Abstract]Objective To investigate the effect of two-tage skin grafting with artificial dermis for perianal hidradenitis suppurativa. Methods A total of 20 cases diagnosed as perianal hidradenitis suppu-rativa in our hospital were selected from 2011 to 2013. In the first-stage operation,all diseased skin inclu-ding the superficial subcutaneous fatty tissue was excised,and normal deep subcutaneous fatty tissue was preserved. Then,artificial dermis was grafted to the preserved fatty tissue. After two weeks,split-hickness skin grafts were used for the skin defects as the second-tage operation. Graft success,recurrence and post-operative appearance were evaluated in these patients who were followed up for 9 to 28 months. Results Skin grafts of all 19 patients were successfully survived. The recurrence of hidradenitis suppurativa oc-curred in only one patient. This patient was treated with reoperation and the postoperative appearance was welly recovered. Conclusion Two-tage skin grafting with artificial dermis appears to be a good treatment option for perianal hidradenitis suppurativa.
