Objective:To improve the rate of successful rescue through analyzing the clinical features and treating processes of septic shock caused by lymphocyst infection after lymph node dissection in diabetic patients.Methods:A total of 462 cases of diabetic patients with bladder, prostate, renal cancers, cervical, endometrial and ovarian were retrospectively analyzed, all of whom underwent standard surgical treatments including pelvic lymph node dissection, hospitalized in department of urology surgery and gynecology of Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital from Jan 2015 to Jan 2020. Lymphocytes were confirmed in 148 cases, of which 89 cases were complicated by infection, and 13 cases developed septic shock. Patients with lymphocyst infection were divided into shock and non-shock groups, and age, sex, duration of diabetes, BMI, glycosylated hemoglobin at admission, number of lymph nodes surgically removed, retention time of drainage tube after operation, maximum diameter of lymphocyst and time between infection and previous chemotherapy were compared. The initial symptoms, blood routine in the first time after the onset of the infection, the time from onset to drainage puncture and catheterization and the final outcomes were analyzed in 13 patients with septic shock. The results of pathogen culture and drug sensitivity of infected lymphocyst fluid were also analyzed.Results:Categorical variable test showed that: in diabetic patients with lymphocyst infection, there were significant differences in glycosylated hemoglobin ( P=0.018) , adjuvant chemotherapy ( P=0.014) and lymphocyst size ( P<0.001) between shock group and non-shock group. Among the 13 cases of septic shock, 11 caseshad mild to moderate fever or abdominal pain. The total leukocyte count of all cases in the first hemogram were less than 20×10 9/L. The average time from onset to drainage was 33 hours. Among the 13 patients, 5 developed MODS and 1 died. There were 2 patients whose conditions were complex with frequent fluctuations. In the 12 patients who recovered from septic shock, only 1 underwent a residual lymphocyst pretreatment, 4 had recurrent cyst infection for 1-2 times, 2 had septic shock again, and 1 died. Gram negative bacteria were the most common pathogens, and the main was Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Piperacillin / tazobactam, carbapenems and tigecycline were commonly sensitive, while the drug resistance rates of ceftazidime, ceftriaxone and levofloxacin were more than 50%. Conclusions:Poor glycemic control, adjuvant chemotherapy and big lymphocyst size(d≥5 cm) are the high risk factors of septic shock. Most of shock patients' initial symptoms and total white blood cell count have no warning significance, leading to longer time from infection to drainage, and delayed treatment. Early diagnosis, timely drainage and active anti-infection treatment are the key to a successful treatment. The possibility of connection between lymphocyst and surrounding organ should be considered when the treatment effect is not good. After septic shock of postoperative lymphocyst infection in patients with diabetes, the larger esidual lymphocyst should be intervened actively to avoid serious infection again.

To systematically review the potential value of long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT1) as a potential novel prognostic biomarker in cancers.
 Methods: Databases including Cochrane Library, Medline, Embase, PubMed databases were searched for all English studies, which explored the correlation between lncRNA MALAT1 expression and overall survival in tumors. The retrieval time was from inception to August 1, 2015. Two reviewers independently screened literature according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, extracted data, and assessed methodological quality. Then, Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.3 software.
 Results: Ten studies covered a total of 1 016 patients. Meta-analysis showed that high expression of MALAT1 was significantly correlated to poor overall survival (OS) in patients with tumor (HR= 2.08, 95% CI 1.74 to 2.48, P<0.001). 
 Conclusion: LncRNA MALAT1 might be a potential novel prognostic biomarker in tumor.

【Objective】 To investigate the effects of diabetes and/or obesity on the incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) and long-term renal function recovery in patients undergoing laparoscopic partial nephrectomy. 【Methods】 A retrospective analysis was performed on 221 patients who underwent laparoscopic partial nephrectomy in Beijing Chaoyang Hospital during Jan.2018 and Dec.2019. Baseline data, incidence of AKI, and renal function recovery after 12 months were analyzed in the diabetic, non-diabetic, diabetic + obese and diabetic + non-obese groups, with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) reaching 90% of the preoperative level as the standard. Risk factors of AKI were analyzed with univariate and multivariate regression analyses. 【Results】 Compared with the non-diabetic group, the diabetic group had lower preoperative eGFR [ (79.1±12.1)mL/ (min·1.73 m² )vs. (85.3±10.7)mL/ (min·1.73 m² ), P=0.01] , higher incidence of AKI (14.0% vs. 11.8%), and lower proportion of patients whose renal function recovered to at least 90% of the preoperative level (73.1% vs.83.5%). Patients with diabetes and obesity were more likely to develop AKI (31.3% vs.3.7%, P=0.039), and diabetic patients without obesity had better renal function recovery (81.3% vs. 60.0%). Multivariate analysis showed gender and operation time were the independent risk factors of AKI. 【Conclusion】 There were no significant differences between diabetic and non-diabetic patients in the incidence of postoperative AKI, or rate of renal function recovery 12 months after surgery. The incidence of AKI significantly increased in diabetic patients with obesity, and the renal function recovery rate decreased one year after surgery. Gender and operation time were the independent risk factors of AKI.
