Objective:This study aimed to analyze the prognostic factor of bilateral hydronephrosis caused by advanced cervical cancer and evaluate its value of treatment. Methods:A total of 40 patients with bilateral ureteral obstruction secondary to cervical cancer were diagnosed through computerized tomography, radioactive nephrogram, and blood tests for renal function. The placement of retrograde internal double-J ureteral stents was performed under a cystoscope in 13 patients. The placement of antegrade internal double-J ureteral stents via percutaneous nephrostomy was performed in 25 patients. Two cases had external ureteral stents via percutaneous nephrostomy. Twenty-nine patients underwent radiotherapy after normalization of their blood urine nitrogen and creatinine levels. The prognostic value of the treatment and renal function before placement of ureteral stents and radiotherapy after placement of ureteral stents were analyzed. Results:The normalization rate of renal function after ureteral stenting was 91.3%(21/23). The median survival time was longer in patients with untreated cervical cancer than that in patients with recurrent cervical cancer (χ2=9.379, P=0.009). After ureteral stenting, the median survival time was longer in patients who underwent radiation therapy than that in patients untreated with radiation (χ2=17.329, P=0.000). The median survival time was not significantly influenced by renal function before placement of ureteral stents (χ2=1.37, P=0.242). Conclusion:The patient with bilateral ureteral obstruction from untreated cervical cancer or from recurrent pelvic disease after surgical therapy should be considered for ureteral stenting followed by appropriate radiation.

Increased evidences indicate that resistin is a new hormone secreted from adipose tissue, it is reported to be an important signal molecule linking between obesity,insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. Many factors can affect the gene expression of resistin. However, the detailed function of resistin still remains mysterious and much work needs to be undertaken. [

Objective To investigate the value of diffusion tensor tractography (DTT) quantitative assessment of corticospinal tract (CST) damage in acute intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Methods Thirty-two patients were enrolled in this study. DTT was obtained in early stage of ICH. The CST was reconstructed with Volume One 1.64 and diffusion Tensor Visualizer (dTV) software from Tokyo University. The compression, the displacement, the destruction, and the relative remaining number of the CST were calculated. Results The compression, the displacement and the destruction of the CST were observed in DTT images in all patients. The correlation coefficient between remaining number of the CST and score of Fugl-Meyer after the onset of ICH was 0.75 (P＜0.01). Conclusion DTT can quantitatively evaluate the state of CST injury in acute ICH.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the effects of Attractin (Atrn) silence on the anti-oxidative and anti-apoptotic abilities of TM4 Sertoli cells and its influence on the expressions of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and caspase6 in the cells.

METHODSWe observed the apoptotic indexes of TM4 Sertoli cells with normal expression (control), partial deletion, and complete deletion of the Atrn gene (psiRNA-TM4, psiAtrn-TM4, and mu-SC). We determined the mRNA and protein expressions of SOD and caspase6 by Q-PCR and Western blot, measured the SOD activity and malondialdehyde (MDA) contentby spectrophotometry, and detected the apoptotic index of the cells by TUNEL.

RESULTSCompared with psiRNA-TM4, after inhibition of the Atrn expression, the Sertoli cells in the psiAtrn-TM4 and mu-SCgroups showed significantly decreased expressions ofSOD mRNA (70.76% and 92.58%) and protein (65.11% and 71.0%) (both P < 0.05). The levels of caspase 6 mRNA and protein were increased 5.28 and 3.40 times in the psiAtrn-TM4 and 2.97 and 2.50 times in the mu-SCgroup as compared with the normal control (both P < 0.05). Atrn deletion markedly increased the apoptotic indexes of the cells in the psiAtrn-TM4 and mu-SC groups by 16.22% and 22.03% (P < 0.05) and reduced the activity of SOD by 23.00% and 39.37% (P < 0.05); it also elevated the level of MDA by 155.22% (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONThe Atrn gene exerts influence on the function of Sertoli cells in multiple ways, in which antioxidative stress and apoptosis regulation may play an important role.
