Objective To explore the safty and feasibility of transrectal ultrasound guided transperineal seminal vesicle biopsy in the evaluation of clinical staging of prostate cancer.Methods Retrospectively study 57 suspected prostate cancer patients with seminal abnormality during 2010.7-2015.1,age ranged from 50 to 78 years,average 65 ±7 years,serum total prostate specific antigen (tPSA) 3.2-131.1 μg/L, average (23.7 ± 11.3) μg/L.Twenty-two cases had palpable prostate nodules through rectal examination.All the 57 patients underwent ultrasound and template guided transperineal prostate and seminal vesicle puncture biopsies.Results Forty-four cases out of 57 found prostate cancer cells in biopsies, and 32 cases had seminal vesicle invasion (positive group) while the other 12 were negative.Twenty cases had been performed prostatectomy in the positive group and their post-operative pathological examination all showed prostate cancer with seminal vesicle invasion.Eleven cases in the negative group had been performed prostatectomy ,and 2 cases showed seminal vesicle invasion.The clinical stages of all cases in the positive group were considered as T3b both pre-operatively and post-operatively.In the negative group however, 11 cases were considered as T2 stage pre-operatively,while 2 cases were increased to T3b stage post-operatively.The sensitivity of puncturing seminal vesicle was 91％ (20/22) ,specificity was 100.0％ (9/9).Positive predictive value was 100.0％ (20/20),while negative predictive value was 82％ (9/11).All the 57 cases did not present fever after puncture biopsies, while 23 cases presented hematuria (40％) ,20 cases presented hemospermia (35％) and 1 case presented urinary retention (2％).Conclusions Transrectal ultrasound-guided transperinealseminal vesicle puncture is safe and reliable, it helps to improve the accuracy of pre-operative staging.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the adverse events occurred during tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-αblocker treatment in Chinese Han population patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS).MethodsThis study had enrolled 369 Chinese Han population patients with ankylosing spondylitis.They all received TNF-αblocker treatment in the hospital.All 1011 administration were recorded in total.All of them were evaluated for adverse events 2 hours after injection,126 of them had received long-term TNF-α blocker injection,and they were followed-up at week 8,12,52,104.Mild immediate adverse events and long-term adverse events were all counted.SPSS 10.0 software package was used for Fisher's exact test.ResultsThree hundred and sixty-nine patients had 1011 administrations in total,652 had received rhTNFR:Fc,316 had infliximab,21had etanercept,22 had adalimumab injections.Adverse events 2 hours after injection were:17 (2.6％) for rhTNFR:Fc,12 (3.8％) for infliximab,0 for etanercept,1 (4.5％) for adalimumab.Twenty adverse events were mild(12 for rhTNFR:Fc,9 for infliximab),5 events were moderate(3 for rhTNFR:Fc,1 for infliximab,1 for adalimumab),4 events were severe(2 for rhTNFR:Fc,2 for infliximab).The frequency of adverse events were comparable between rhTNFR:Fc and Infliximab injection in immediate adverse reactions (P=0.31).One hundred and twenty-six (69 rhTNFR:Fc,57 infliximab) patients had long-term usage,and were followed-up at week 8,12,52,104,39 patients had adverse reactions:20 (51.3％) for rhTNFR:Fc,19(48.7％) for infliximab.Thirty-seven patients had infectious events(94.9％ ),1 neurological event(2.6％),and 1 patient had tuberculosis relapse (2.6％).Outcomes were comparable with rhTNFR:Fc and infliximab in long-term usage(P=0.69).ConclusionAttention should be paid to the above events in Chinese Han patients with ankylosing spondylitis who were treated with TNF-α blocker treatment.Special attention should be paid to those patients who are in their third or fourth injection.The occurrence of immediate reaction or long-term adverse events between rhTNFR:Fc and infliximab are comparable.

Under the background of " Internet+ medical treatment" and the continuous deepening of face recognition technology research, the face recognition industry has continued to mature, and face recognition has been initially applied in medical fields such as hospital management, auxiliary medical care, and epidemic prevention and control. At the same time, face recognition technology brings problems including error risk, technical cracking risk, privacy risk, equality risk, abuse risk, and other issues in practice, which seriously threaten the personal and property rights and interests of the public. On the basis of summarizing the specific application direction of face recognition technology in hospitals, the authors sorted out the legal regulation of face recognition in China, and proposed that it should be based on technology research and development, strengthen the " gatekeeper" responsibility of medical institutions, improve legal system and recommendations for strengthening judicial leadership in order to improve the legal regulations of face recognition technology, reduce the risk of infringement by medical institutions in the application of face recognition technology, and protect the legitimate rights and interests of citizens.

Objective To evaluate the erectile function following transperineal template-guided prostate saturation biopsy (TFPSB).Methods From June 2013 to October 2015,patients underwent prostate biopsy.All patients were indicated for biopsy according to the criteria of "Guidance on diagnosis and treatment of urology in China".Exclusion criteria include medical history of PCa,severe urinary tract infection,severe cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases or abnormal blood coagulation.All patients were divided into observation group (TT'PSB) or control group (traditional trans-perineal template-guided prostate biopsy,TTPB) according to patients' condition,pubic anatomy,PSA abnormality,rectal examination,imaging examination and pain tolerance,etc.Patients were evaluated for pre-biopsy erectile function with the international index of erectile function (IIEF-5).All pathology confirmed prostate cancer patients were excluded.Concomitant systemic diseases and medications that would interfere with erectile function were recorded.Patients who withdrew from the trial or used the drugs such 5-phosphodiesterase inhibitors for sexual activity improvement were excluded.Ninety-seven patients in observation group and 84 patients in control group underwent further evaluation with the IIEF-5 questionnaire at 1,3 and 6 months post-biopsy.Results The average age of the observation group and the control group were (64.1 ± 7.9) years and (61.8 ±8.9) years,PSA were (7.2 ± 3.7) ng/ml and (6.7 ± 3.4) ng/ml,prostate volume were (47.8 ±21.5)ml and (49.2 ±22.2) ml,and the BMI were (21.4 ±3.1) kg/m2 and (20.6 ±3.4) kg/m2,respectively.There was no significant difference between the two groups (P ＞ 0.05) in term of above patients' characteristics.The pre-biopsy IIEF-5 score of the observation group and the control group were 19.1 ±4.5 and 19.7 ±4.3,which had no significant difference (t =-0.890,P=0.375).One month after biopsy,the IIEF-5 of two groups were 17.4 ±4.8 and 18.2 ±4.5 respectively and both group had statistically significant difference when compared with pre-biopsy (both P ＜ 0.05),however,there was no statistical significance at 3 and 6 months after biopsy.Besides,no significant difference of the IIEF-5 score was detected between two groups in 1,3 and 6 months.Conclusions Although TTPSB may resulted in temporary (1 month) post-biopsy erection dysfunction,the erectile function recovered to pre-biopsy level at 3-6 months post-biopsy.TTPSB did not increase the risk of ED compared with traditional TTPB.

Objective:To explore the feasibility and safety of the clinical application of the diagnosis and treatment mode combining rapid frozen pathological examination of prostate biopsy tissue with radical prostatectomy.Methods:Suspected prostate cancer patients with PSA>10 ng/ml and PI-RADS score ≥4 in, Northern Jiangsu People's Hospital from April to September 2021 were collected. The included patients underwent mpMRI/TRUS image fusion-guided transperineal prostate targeted biopsy with 16G biopsy needle, 2-3 needles for biopsy, and rapid frozen pathological examination. Robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP) was performed immediately for patients with prostate cancer with rapid freezing pathology. For undiagnosed prostate cancer, 18G biopsy needle for prostate targeted + systematic biopsy were used, 18-22 needles for systematic biopsy, and routine pathological examination. The baseline data, frozen pathological results, perioperative conditions, pathological results and follow-up data of all patients were collected.Results:Eleven patients were included in the study, the mean age of the patients was 69.9(66-73) years, the mean BMI was 22.8(19-26) kg/m 2, the mean PSA was 23.2(14.25-32.00), the mean prostate volume was 45(32-52) ml, mean PSAD 0.54(0.33-0.75). PI-RADS score was 4 in 3 cases and 5 in 8 cases; digital rectal examination was positive in 5 cases. All 11 cases underwent rapid freezing and the pathological results showed that: 9 cases were prostate adenocarcinoma, and RALP was performed immediately. The operation time was 111.5(96-126) min, the intraoperative blood loss was 78.9(55-105) ml, and the postoperative extubation time was 4.3(3.5-5.0) days, postoperative hospital stay 5.8(5.0-6.5) days. Postoperative pathology showed that Gleason score 3+ 4=7 in 1 case, 4+ 3=7 in 3 cases, 8 points in 4 cases, and 10 points in 1 case; 3 cases had positive resection margins, and 1 case had seminal vesicle invasion, the average number of dissected lymph nodes was 10.9 (8.5-14.0), and there was no tumor metastasis. Pathological T staging included 2 cases of T 2b stage, 5 cases of T 2c stage, 1 case of T 3a stage, and 1 case of T 3b stage. Two patients were undiagnosed by rapid freezing pathology, of which one was prostate adenocarcinoma with a Gleason score of 4+ 3=7, and then received RALP; the other one was prostate inflammation. 11 patients were followed up; the postoperative follow-up time was 3-7 months, with an average of 5.2 months. Among the 10 patients who underwent RALP, 8 patients recovered urinary continence 2 weeks after surgery, and all recovered within 2 months after surgery. Three patients with positive surgical margins were given regular androgen deprivation therapy in the second week after surgery. PSA did not drop below 0.1 ng/ml in patients with positive margins and seminal vesicle invasion 3 months after surgery. No complications of Clavien grade Ⅰ or higher occurred after operation and during follow-up. Conclusions:For patients with high suspicion of prostate cancer, rapid frozen pathological examination of prostate biopsy tissue is performed. RALP is performed immediately for patients with prostate cancer. The results show that this diagnosis and treatment model could be safe and feasible.
