Objective To explore the clinical significance of second transurethral resection (TUR) in patients with T1 urothelial cell carcinoma of the bladder.Methods The 142 cases with urothelial carcinoma were recruited.All patients underwent transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) and were diagnosed as stage T1 urothelial carcinoma of the bladder.The 68 of 142 cases underwent second TUR after the initial surgery.Tumor recurrence rate,progression rate and recurrence-free survival were compared.Results There were no statistical differences in age,gender,follow-up time,number of tumors,size of tumors or grade of tumors between patients with and without second TUR.Of the 68 cases that underwent second TUR,25 cases (36.8%) had residual tumor and 6 of them (8.8%) had muscle-invasive bladder cancer.After an average observation for 26.8 months,patients who underwent second TUR showed lower recurrence rate,higher recurrence-free rate and longer recurrence-free survival than patients without second TUR [37.1% vs.58.1%,x2=5.962,P=0.015;41% vs.35.1%,x2=8.502,P=0.004;21 months vs.12 months,U= 1584,P= 0.002].While the progression rate showed no statistical difference between them (14.5% vs.25.7%,x2 =2.570,P=0.109).Conclusions Second TUR provides an effective way to completely excise tumor.Second TUR is beneficial to the decrease of recurrence rate and improvement of recurrence-free survival.However,its effect on tumor progression needs further discussion.

Objective To explore the anti- inflammatory of pricking blood therapy in acute gouty arthritis rats. Methods 60 Sprague-Dawley rats were equally divided into normal group, bloodletting normal group, sham group, arthritis group, bloodletting group and ibuprofen group. The acute gouty arthritis model was established with injecting uric acid sodium salt into the right ankle joint cavity. The ibuprofen group was administrated with ibuprofen intragastrically, the bloodletting normal group and bloodletting group were pricked the right Kunlun (BL60) acupoint. The cross section diameter of the right ankle joint were measured before and after treatment. Levels of mRNA and protein of interleukin (IL)-10 and IL-4 expressed in ankle were determined with RT-PCR and Western blotting Results The cross section diameter increased in the bloodletting group compared with the normal group after treatment (P<0.05), and decreased (P<0.05) compared with the arthritis group and the ibuprofen group, while the expression of IL-10 mRNA increased (P<0.05) compared with the normal group, the arthritis group and the ibuprofen group, as well as the IL-10 protein compared with the normal group and the arthritis group (P< 0.05). The expression of IL-4 mRNA and protein increased without significance (P>0.05) in the bloodletting group compared with the normal group. Conclusion IL-10 may play a role of anti-inflammatory in pricking bloodletting therapy for acute gouty arthritis.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the clinical effecacy and safety of transurethral enucleation of submucosal bladder leiomyoma.MethodsAnalyze retrospectively the clinical data of 6 patients (2 male,4 female) of submucosal bladder leiomyoma. The mean age was 59 years (range 32- 78). The clinical manifestations included dysuresia in 3 cases, irritative bladder in 1 case, gross hematuria in 1 caes, and no clinical symptoms in 1 case. The mean course was 23 months (range 1 week-4 years). All the bladder tumors were indicated by ultrasonography, CT scan and cystoscopy, while 4 cases of bladder filling defects were showed by intravenous urogram. Before the tranaurethral enucleation of the bladder tumor, a deep needle biopsy and pathological examination were carried out to confirm the diagnosis of bladder leiomyoma. For the relatively small lateral leiomyomas, holium laser enucleation was carried out, while for the big ones, resectoscope enucleation was used to remove the mass. Biopsys were performed after complete removal of the tumor.ResultsTransurethral enucleation of 6 cases of submucosal bladder tumors were successful without any postoperative complication. All patients regained normal urination, and lower urinary tract irritation was relieved obviously and hematuria disappeared. No tumor recurrence or metastasis was found during the follow-up of 4 to 158 months.ConclusionsCystoscopy and transurethral biopsy are the most important methods for the diagnosis of submucosal bladder leiomyoma. The transurethral enucleation is a feasible and safe surgical technique for such patients with excellent results.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the effect of mitochondrial DNA(mtDNA) secondary mutations, haplotypes, GJB2 gene mutations on phenotype of 1494C>T mutation, and to study the molecular pathogenic mechanism of maternally transmitted aminoglycoside-induced and nonsyndromic hearing loss.

METHODSTwo Chinese Han pedigrees of maternally transmitted aminoglycoside induced and nonsyndromic hearing loss were collected. The two probands and their family members underwent clinical, genetic and molecular evaluations including audiological examinations and mutational analysis of mitochondrial genome and GJB2 gene.

RESULTSClinical evaluation revealed wide range of severity, age-at-onset and audiometric configuration of hearing impairment in matrilineal relatives in both families, for which the penetrance of hearing loss was respectively 42.9% and 28.6% when aminoglycoside-induced deafness was included. When the effect of aminoglycosides was excluded, the penetrances of hearing loss were 14.3% and 14.3%. Sequence analysis of mitochondrial genomes identified a known 12S rRNA 1494C>T mutation, in addition with distinct sets of mtDNA polymorphisms belonging to Eastern Asian haplogroups C4a1a and B4b1c, respectively.

CONCLUSIONMitochondrial 12S rRNA 1494C>T mutation probably underlie the deafness in both families. Lack of significant mutation in the GJB2 gene ruled out involvement of GJB2 in the phenotypic expression. However, aminoglycosides and other nuclear modifier genes may still modify the phenotype of the 1494C>T mutation in these families. The B4b1c is a newly identified haplogroup in aminoglycoside-induced and nonsyndromic hearing loss family carrying the 1494C>T mutation. The 1494C>T mutation seems to have occurred sporadically through evolution.

OBJECTIVETo study the effect of the mitochondrial 12S rRNA mutations on aminoglycoside-induced and nonsyndromic hearing loss, to carry out the clinical and molecular characterization of five Han Chinese pedigrees with maternally transmitted aminoglycoside-induced and nonsyndromic hearing loss.

METHODSFive pedigrees of maternally transmitted aminoglycoside-induced and nonsyndromic hearing loss were collected, genomic DNA was extracted, and complete mitochondrial genomes and the gap junction protein beta 2 (GJB2) gene were amplified and sequenced.

RESULTSClinical evaluation revealed a wide range of severity, age-at-onset and audiometric configuration of hearing impairment in the matrilineal relatives in these families. The penetrance rates of hearing loss in these pedigrees were 17.6%, 50.0%, 66.7%, 31.3% and 23.1%, with an average of 37.7%, when aminoglycoside-induced deafness was included. Sequence analysis of the complete mitochondrial genomes in these pedigrees identified the known 1555A>G mutation and distinct sets of mitochondrial DNA(mtDNA) polymorphisms belonging to Eastern Asian haplogroups D4b2b, B4c1b1, F3, C1 and D5a, respectively. Of these variants, ND1 L89T and CO3 A200T mutations resided at the highly conservative regions. However, there were no functionally significant mutations in tRNAs and rRNAs or secondary known mutations. No hearing loss related GJB2 gene mutation was observed.

CONCLUSIONThe lack of significant mutation in the ruled out the possible involvement of GJB2 in the phenotypic expression of the 1555A>G mutation in those affected subjects. However, aminoglycosides, mtDNA variations and other nuclear modifier genes may play an important role in the phenotypic manifestation of the 1555A>G mutation in these Chinese families.
