Objective To investigate the clinical effects of transurethral resection of cystitis after gynecological cystitis after transurethral resection of bladder,and to observe the effect on patients' anxiety(SAS)and quality of life index(QOL).Methods The clinical data of 62 patients with cystitis glandularis admitted to hospital from January 2011 to December 2016 were retrospectively analyzed.The control group was treated with plasma ablation alone,with plasmakinetic resection of Kangfuxin liquid combined with gemcitabine intravesical therapy as the treatment group,31 cases in each group.Statistics of two groups of patients with clinical efficacy,followed up for 12 months,and the anxiety self-rating scale(SAS)was used to evaluate the anxiety of the two groups before and after treatment,QOL was used to evaluate the quality of life before and after treatment in two groups of patients.The recurrence rate of two groups were recorded.Results After treatment,the effective rate of the treatment group was 80.65％,slightly higher than the control group 77.42％,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05),the SAS score in the treatment group was slightly higher than before treatment,but the difference was not statistically significant,the SAS score in the control group was significantly lower than before treatment,after treatment between the groups,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The QOL index of the treatment group decreased slightly after treatment,but the difference was not statistically significant.The QOL index of the treatment group decreased significantly after treatment,and compared between the two groups after treatment,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Follow-up of 12 months,the relapse rate in the treatment group was 11.11％,slightly lower than the control group 18.75％,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion Compared to pure plasmapheresis,the use of postoperative intravesical instillation of bladder irrigation with the same effect,but the latter may increase the degree of anxiety in patients,thus affecting the quality of life of patients,so for the non-mandatory use of drugs treatment,surgery may be given priority to surgery alone.

The safety and efficacy of retroperitoneoscopic microwave ablation (MWA) in the treatment of renal hamartoma were evaluated. From July 2007 to July 2009, a total of 16 cases of renal hamartoma were treated with retroperitoneoscopic MWA. Peri- and post-operative findings were observed. Middle-term efficacy was assessed by contrast-enhanced computerized tomography (CT) in follow-up period. All patients received MWA of 1-5 points. The mean operative time was 85 min and the mean blood loss was 65 mL. During a median follow-up of 16 months, no evidence of disease recurrence was observed despite of incomplete ablation in 1 case. Retroperitoneoscopic MWA is a relatively simple procedure with less impact to renal function and less complication. The outcome of middle-term follow-up is satisfactory. Thus, retroperitoneoscopic MWA appears to be a safe and effective technique for renal hamartoma in selected patients.

The anti-tumor activity of curcumin against androgen-independent prostate cancer cells in vitro and the possible mechanism were investigated. After curcumin treatment, the effect of curcumin on the proliferation of prostate cancer PC-3 cells was assessed by CFSE staining. Flow cytometery (FCM) was performed to analyze the cell cycle and the induction of apoptosis of tumor cells. A luciferase reporter gene assay was used to determine the effects of curcumin on the activities of intracellular NF-κB and AP-1 signaling pathways. The results showed curcumin could effectively inhibit the proliferation of PC-3 cells in vitro (P<0.05). Cells were arrested at G(2)/M phase. After curcumin treatment, the percentage of apoptotic cells was significantly higher than in control group (P<0.05). The results of the luciferase assay revealed that curcumin selectively inhibited the activities of the NF-κB and AP-1 signaling pathways in PC-3 cells significantly. It was suggested that curcumin could exert anti-tumor activity against androgen-independent prostate cancer cells in vitro by inhibiting cellular proliferation and inducing apoptosis, which was probably contributed to the inhibition of transcription factors NF-κB and AP-1.

BACKGROUNDTo evaluate the effect of ⁸⁹SrCl₂ and/or Bonefos in the treatment of bone metastasis from pulmonary carcinoma.

METHODSA total of sixty-seven lung cancer patients with bone metastasis were enrolled in this study, who were divided into three groups: nineteen cases were treated with ⁸⁹SrCl₂; twenty-eight cases with Bonefos; and twenty cases combined ⁸⁹SrCl₂ with Bonefos.

RESULTSThe total relief rate of the bone pain: the ⁸⁹SrCl₂ group was 84.2%, and the Bonefos group was 80.4%, the combination group was 90.0%. There was no statistical difference among three groups (P > 0.05). The effective rate of the bone metastasis: the ⁸⁹SrCl₂ group was 15.7%, the Bonefos group was 10.7%, and the combination group was 45.0%. The combination group had significantly higher effective rate than that of the ⁸⁹SrCl₂ group or the Bonefos group alone (P < 0.05). The rate of improvement of quality of life: the ⁸⁹SrCl₂ group was 47.3%, the Bonefos group was 42.8%, and the combination group was 80.0%. The combination group had significantly higher effective rate than that of the ⁸⁹SrCl₂ group or the Bonefos group alone (P < 0.05). The side effects of three groups were minimal.

CONCLUSIONS⁸⁹SrCl₂ and Bonefos are two effective and safe drugs on relief of pain. Combined ⁸⁹SrCl₂ and Bonefos might be a better therapy for bone metastasis and improvement of quality of life than the single one, and the side effect is slight and tolerable.
