Objective To evaluate the efficacy of modular flexible ureteroscopy combined with holmium laser lithotripsy for the treatment of renal and upper ureteral stones . Methods A total of 97 patients with renal and upper ureteral stones were treated with modular flexible ureteroscopy combined with holmium laser lithotripsy in our hospital from October 2012 to February 2016.Under general anesthesia (90 cases) or epidural anesthesia (7 cases), a flexible ureteroscope was used to find renal or ureteral calculus and holmium laser lithotripsy was applied at a maximum energy of 1.2-1.6 J/10 -12 Hz (12-20 W).F6 or F7 double-J stents and catheters were routinely placed postoperatively .B-ultrasonography , KUB or CT were performed to evaluate the stone free rate 4 weeks after operation . Results Two patients suffered ureteral perforation due to stenosis and tortuosity of the ureter , and were given double-J stent placement under rigid ureteroscopy for 2 weeks and then flexible ureteroscopic treatment .Six patients underwent staged operations because of ureteral strictures .The operations were successful in the remaining 89 patients.Except for unsuccessful exploration in 3 cases of lower calyx calculi , the operation time of other 94 patients was 30-190 min (mean, 100 min).The stone detection rate was 96.9%(94/97), and the stone free rate was 88.6% (86/97).The stone free rates were 100.0% (25/25) for upper and middle calyx calculi, 75.0%(9/12) for lower calyx calculi, and 85.1% (23/27) for pelvis and multiple calyx calculi. Ureteral perforation was encountered in 2 cases.No massive hemorrhage occurred .Postoperative high fever was seen in 5 cases, with a body temperature of 38.5-39.3℃, which were cured after anti-infection treatment for 2 -7 d.The patients were discharged from hospital in 2-7 days (mean, 3.3 days) after operation.Review with B-ultrasonography, KUB or CT at 4 weeks after operation found 5 cases of residual stones >4 mm, including 3 cases located in lower calyx and 2 cases in multiple calyx . Conclusion Modular flexible ureteroscopy combined with holmium laser lithotripsy is effective and safe for the treatment of renal calculi .

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most frequent human malignancies worldwide with very poor prognosis. It is generally accepted that the progression of HCC is a long-term process with accumulation of multiple genetic and epigenetic alterations, which further lead to the activation of critical oncogenes or inactivation of tumor suppressor genes. HCC is characterized with multiple cancer hallmarks including their ability to proliferate, anti-apoptosis, invade, metastasis, as well as the emerging features such as stem cell properties and energy metabolic switch. The irreversible alterations at genetic level could be detected as early as in the pre-neoplastic stages and accumulate during cancer progression. Thus, they might account for the cancer initiating steps and further malignant transformation. In addition to genetic alterations, epigenetic alterations can affect the cancer transcriptome more extensively. Alterations in DNA methylation, histone modification, miRNAs, RNA editing, and lncRNAs might result in disrupted gene regulation networks and substantially contribute to HCC progression. In this review, the genetic and epigenetic alterations which significantly contribute to the malignant capabilities of HCC will be updated and summarized in detail. Further characterization of those critical molecular events might better elucidate the pathogenesis of HCC and provide novel therapeutic targets for treatment of this deadly disease.

Objective: To study the effect of different concentration of plumbum (Pb) stress on antioxidase activity in different organs of Rabdosia Rubescentis Folium (RRF, the aerial parts of Rabdosia rubescens) and their growth, and provide the basis for the growth regulation of R. rubescens under Pb pollution. Methods: Ramets hydroponic test was performed with the concentration of Pb (0, 135, 270, and 540 mg/L) and the stress time (50 d), taking superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD), catalase (CAT), relative growth rate (RGR), biomass, and Pb mass fraction as indexes, the determination of antioxidant enzyme activity was performed with spectrophotometer, and plant's Pb mass fraction of plant with plasma emission spectrometer was carried out. Results: Under Pb stress at different concentration (135-540 mg/L), SOD activity in the leaves and the roots of R. rubescens was increased first and then decreased, but no significant difference on SOD activity in the leaves at each level; POD activity in the leaves under Pb concentration (135-270 mg/L) was no significant difference compared with the control group, but was significantly increased at the concentration of 540 mg/L, while the POD activity in the roots under Pb stress at various concentration was significantly lower than that of the control group which gradually went up after declined; CAT activity in the leaves increased significantly with Pb concentration rising, and the activity in the root decreased gradually with Pb concentration rising. No significant effect on the growth of R. rubescens at low and mid levels of Pb concentration (135 and 270 mg/L), but under high concentration (540 mg/L) of Pb treatment compared with the control group, the biomass and RGR decreased by 33.33% and 46.59%, respectively. Conclusion: The stimulus response is different obviously for antioxidase activities between the leaves and roots of R. rubescens; Through fitting model predictive analysis, the critical Pb concentration is 301.99 mg/L, which decreases RGR by 10% compared with control group (P < 0.01). RRF shows a strong resistance to Pb stress.

Objective To observe the NTBC dependence of Fah-knockout mice and study the biological characteristics in order to use the model more effectively.Methods Examine the progressive changes in body weight, survival time, liver pathology and serological markers after the NTBC withdrawal.Results After removing of NTBC, Fah-knockout mice lost their body weight gradually, and finally died in 5 to 7 weeks, along with increased serum ALT, AST levels and deformation of the hepatocytes.Conclusions Fah-knockout mice have a strong drug dependence of NTBC and could be the ideal model to hereditary tyrosinemia type I and other liver injury.

Objective To detect the expressions of decoy receptor 3 (DcR3) in pancreatic cancer tissues and to analyze the significance of DcR3 in the diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of patients with pancreatic cancer.Methods The expressions of DcR3 in pancreatic cancer tissues (n =100), paracancer tissues (n =15) and normal tissues (n =15) were detected with immunohistochemical method (Envision method).Results The positive rate of DcR3 in pancreatic cancer tissues was significantly higher than that in adjacent-tumor pancreatic cancer tissues (86.0％ vs.46.6％, P ＜ 0.05).The positive rate of DcR3 in adjacent-tumor pancreatic cancer tissues was significantly higher than that in normal tissues (46.6％ vs.13.3％, P ＜ 0.05).In clinical stage Ⅲ, the positive rate of DcR3 was significantly higher than that in stage Ⅱ and stage Ⅰ (100％ vs.87.0％, P＜0.05;100％ vs.62.5％, P＜0.05).There were significant differences among the three groups (P ＜ 0.05).With lymph node metastasis, the DcR3 positive rate was significantly higher than that in the group without lymph node metastasis (93.4％ vs.79.6％, P ＜ 0.05).In poorly differentiated pancreatic cancer, the positive rate of DcR3 was significantly higher than that in the highly differentiated group (100％ vs.64.0％, P ＜0.05), the positive rate of DcR3 was significantly higher in the moderately differentiated group than that in the highly differentiated group (88.6％ vs.64.0％, P ＜ 0.05) , There were significant differences among the three groups (P ＜ 0.05).There was no significant difference in the positive rate of DcR3 between the different age groups or the different gender groups (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions The expression levels of DcR3 in patients with pancreatic cancer gradually increased from normal tissues to paracancer tissues, to pancreas tissues.The expression level of DcR3 protein was closely related to clinical stage, degree of tissue differentiation and presence of lymph node metastasis, but not associated with age, sex, and tumor diameter size.

Objective To discuss the efficacy of intravesical instillation of sodium hyaluronate for the treatment of cystitis glandularis after transurethral resection.Methods 85 patients (9 male and 76 female,age range 37-70 years,mean age 51) who were diagnosed as CG in China-Japan Union Hospital of Jilin University underwent transurethral resection.After the operation they were divided into three groups randomly according to different intravescal instillation:sodium hyaluronate for group A,epirubicin for group B and no medicine for group C.The group A started to instill with sodium hyaluronate 40mg once a week for four weeks,and then once a month for four months.The group B did the same way of intravesical instillation of epirubicin.All the patients were followed-up for 12 months.The cystoscopy was done every three months to detect recurrence and the clinical symptom score was evaluated at 1,3,6 and 12 months.Results No patients in group A treated by sodium hyaluronate relapsed but 6 cases and 9 cases in group B and group C respectively.Recurrence rate of group A is significant low compared with group B and C (P ＜ 0.05).The scores of clinical symptom score appendix after 1,3,6 and 12 months for group A were (3.18 ± 1.44),(1.29 ±0.66),(1.25 ±0.65) and (1.21 ±0.63),respectively.It was (3.37 ±1.62),(3.33 ±1.59),(1.37±0.74) and (1.30±0.61) for group B,and (3.47±1.81),(3.40±1.52),(3.27±1.41) and (3.23 ± 1.19) for group C.Compare the score of clinical symptom in the same group,there were significant differences for the score after 3 months compare with the score after 1 month in group A (P ＜ 0.05).But in group B,the significant differences showed after 6 months (P ＜ 0.05).There was no significant difference in group C (P ＞ 0.05) in the whole year.Conclusions Intravesical sodium hyaluronate therapy can effectively decline the recurrence rate of cystitis glandularis after transurethral resection.It could also significantly improve the urinary tract symptoms.
