Objective To investigate the characteristics of body fluid metabolic profile in patients with kidney stones based on surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy,and to explore its application value and provide a reference for the screening of patients with kidney stones.Methods A total of 25 patients with kidney stones and 25 healthy controls were involved.Urine and blood samples were collected,whose spectra were measured with surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy.The mean and difference spectra were plotted with origin software.The normalized data were processed with principal component analysis combined with linear discriminant analysis(PCA-LDA).Finally,the performance of the PCA-LDA method was evaluated with the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve.Results The levels of phosphatidylinositol,phenylalanine,palmitic acid/fatty acids,etc.in the urine of patients with kidney stones are higher than those in healthy controls,while the levels of components such as uracil and glycogen are lower.The content of methyl bands in the plasma of patients with kidney stones is higher than that of healthy controls,while the contents of glycogen,phosphatidylinositol,protein-tyrosine,phenylalanine,palmitic acid/fatty acid,hydroxyproline/tyrosine,and lipids are lower than those of healthy controls.Conclusion Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy can identify the changes in various metabolites in patients with kidney stones,and the combination of PCA-LDA and ROC analysis is helpful for the screening of patients.

Objective:
To investigate the diagnosis and treatment of synchronous double primary malignant tumours of the tongue and lung.
Methods:
A case of adenoid cystic carcinoma(ACC) and lung adenocarcinoma with double primary malignancy was retrospectively analyzed.
Results:
The tumor of patient′s tongue base gradually grew. MRI showed multiple enlarged lymph nodes on both sides of neck. CT of the chest showed obvious lesions in the anterior basal segment of the right lower lobe. The pathological biopsy of the tongue mass identified ACC, and pathological biopsy of the lung mass identified lung adenocarcinoma. The tongue and lung tumors were both surgically resected, and the tongue defect was repaired at the same time. No residue was found after surgery, and no recurrence was found during the follow-up period. The aesthetic and functional restoration of the lingual region was good.
Conclusion
There are few cases of adenoid cystic carcinoma and lung adenocarcinoma with double primary malignancies, and the related diagnosis and treatment are very difficult; the simultaneous removal of double primary malignant tumors may achieve good prognosis.
