1.Research progress on prostate biopsy and positive predicting factors
International Journal of Surgery 2017;44(3):207-211
New method of prostate cancer has grown more precise with the development of medical imaging.Multi-parametric MRI targeted biopsy and fusion biopsy reduce the cores,at the same time they have similar positive rates compared to systematic biopsy.The most used biopsy methods are still transrectal guided transrectal biopsy and transperineal biopsy in China.If we can predict biopsy result before the operation by physical and laboratory examination,it will help improve the detection rate and avoid repeating biopsies.And it has been indicated that age,tPSA,PSAD,fPSA/tPSA,PV,DRE,PHI and PCA3 are the predicting factors.Chinese Prostate Cancer Consortium Risk Calculator is fit for Chinses people.

Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2007;0(31):-
BACKGROUND: One major reason for transplanted kidney failure is BK virus (BKV) associated nephropathy, which leads to renal inadequacy and ureteral obstruction. OBJECTIVE: To identify the incidence of BKV viremia in kidney transplant recipients, as well as to analyze the risk factors of BKV infection. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: A retrospective case analysis was performed at the Department of Urology, Affiliated Beijing Friendship Hospital of Capital Medical University from September 2001 to December 2007. PARTICIPANTS: One hundred and twenty-one renal transplant patients, and 20 renal failure patients, who underwent hemodialysis were served as control group. METHODS: The viral load in plasma was quantified with a real-time PCR method. The recipients were divided into the PV+ group (BKV DNA positive blood samples) and PV- group (BKV DNA negative in blood samples) according to the detection outcomes. The gender, age, cold ischemia time, immunosuppressive agent, donor type and other clinical parameters were compared between 2 groups. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Logistic regression was performed to determine risk factors for BKV infection. RESULTS: The incidence rate of BKV viremia accounted for 24.7% (30/121) of kidney recipients, which was higher than the control group (1/20), the difference between them was significant (P = 0.03). Logistic regression found that cold ischemia time (RR 3.34, 95% CI 2.76-5.60) and cadaver donation (RR 2.19, 95% CI 1.32-3.97) were significantly related to BKV viremia. However, ages of recipients, time of collecting samples, and intravenous glucocorticoid therapy was independence to BKV viremia. CONCLUSION: Kidney recipients are the high risk population who are susceptive to BKV infection. Cold ischemia time and cadaver donation may be the risk factors of BKV viremia.

Objective To evaluate the clinical outcomes of a reformed endoscope assisted ureteral stripping technique in post renal transplant patients with renal pelvic tumor of the graft homonymy primitive kidney.Methods Seven post renal transplant patients with renal pelvic tumor of the graft homonymy primitive kidneys(2 males and 5 females)with average age of 54 years old were recruited.Standard retroperitoneal laparoscopic nephrectomies were performed for all patients after placement of a 5 F ureteral stent as the ureteral stripper. After the closure of the ureter at the lower kidney pole level with metal clips, the distal ureter was separated and the ureteral muscle layer and serous membrane layer were split. The ureter muscle layer was then tied tightly to the ureteral stent tip. The ureter and the stent were pulled out through urethra. Transurethral resection around the everted ureteral orifice was performed and the ureter was removed afterwards. The graft function, operation time,complication and estimated blood loss were recorded.Results All the 7 patients successfully underwent the operations and no major complication such as ureteral disruption, stripping embarrassment and converting to open operation happened. The mean operation time was 126 min (ranging from 105 to 160 min) and the mean blood loss was 124 ml (ranging from 80 to 160 ml). Introvesical chemotherapy with farmorubine hydrochloride was performed 3 weeks after surgery. The mean preoperation and 6 months post-operation creatinine and urea nitrogen levels were 136.5μmol/L, 138. 6μmol/L and 7.42 mmol/L, 7.80 mmol/L respectively and there was no statistical difference. There was no tumor recurrence during 6 month follow-up except one case having simultaneous bladder cancer had bladder cancer relapse 3 months after operation and required another TURBt.Conclusion The reformed endoscope assisted ureteral stripping technique is minimally invasive and convenient in the treatment of post renal transplant patients with renal pelvic tumor of the graft homonymy primitive kidney.

International Journal of Surgery 2009;36(11):739-741
Objective To explore the benefits of living donor kidney transplantation in child, and to inves-tigate the procedures of renal transplantation, post-operative immunosuppressants regimens and complication management in child. Methods Clinical data, the prognosis of renal transplantation, operative procedure and immunosuppressive agents administrated in 14 children with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) undergo-ing renal transplantation were analyzed. Results The major complications in the early stage after renal transplantation were: 2 cases had acute rejection, 3 cases had severe hypernatremia, 1 case had urological infection, 3 cases had lymphocele. The major complications in the long-term recipients included: 6 cases had hypertension, 3 cases had hyperlipidemia, 4 cases had various kinds of infections, 5 cases had drug-in-duced hepatic injury. The one year survival rates of recipient/graft were all 100%. The average creatinine was 96.43 mmol/L(43-125 mmol/L) for the 14 recipients by the end of this study. All recipients thought their life quality was improved significantly. Conclusions Living donor kidney transplantation is the most ideal method to treat children with ESRD. Adult donor kidneys are suitable to the school age of recipients. The protocol of immunosuppressive therapy (prednisone plus MMF and FKS06) should be applied.

Modern immunology has established that tumor immune escape is associated with hidden or missing tumor-specific antigens and tumor-associated antigens,as well as immune suppressors that are released from tumor cells to inhibit the immune cytotoxicity and antigen-presenting cells (APCs).The changes in tumor microenvironment have an impact on tumor immunity and treatment outcomes.The immune effects finally depend on activation and inhibition of T cell receptors and other co-regulated receptors (CD28,CD80/CD86,and CTLA-4) in spite of the existence of APCs and cytotoxic T lymphocytes in tumor microenvironment.Recent studies have revealed that radiotherapy induced not only DNA damage but also immunogenesis in tumor cells.Both conventionally fractionated radiotherapy and hypofractionated radiotherapy can induce immunogenesis in tumor cells.Immunogenic regulation makes many tumor antigens expressed in cells exposed to irradiation,which induces immune recognition and cytotoxicity;cell content (DNA,HMGB1,etc.) released from dead immunogenic cells can trigger immune effects and in situ tumor vaccination,which further induce an abscopal effect of radiotherapy.A lot of anti-tumor immunotherapy fails to achieve satisfactory treatment outcomes.Therefore,how to combine radiotherapy,especially stereotactic body radiotherapy,with anti-tumor immunotherapy has recently become a new challenge for researchers.
