Objective:To analyze the learning effect of laparoscopic radical cystectomy(LRC)+ modified ileal conduit(MIC).Methods:From 2014 to 2019, 42 patients underwent MIC and their clinical data was retrospectively analyzed. 34 operations were performed by surgeon 1 and 8 operations by surgeon 2. We divided the 34 patients of surgeon 1 into three groups according to their surgical sequence (group A, 1st to 12th; group B, 13th to 23th; group C, 24 th to 34 th), the 8 cases of surgeon 2 was regarded as group D. The history of abdomen surgery in the 4 groups were 0, 1, 4, 3 cases, respectively ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference of the other baseline characteristics, such as age, BMI, American Society of Anesthesiologists. Then we compared several variables between the 4 groups like operation time, time of ileal conduit construction, blood loss, complication rate, lymph node yield, surgical margin, etc. The key steps of the MIC included isolating terminal ileum when the mesentery was transilluminated, performing end-to-end reflux ureterointestinal anastomosis after the efferent loop was fixed, closing the rent of the retroperitoneum. Results:All operations were performed intracorporeally with no transition to open surgery. The operative time for group A, B, C were 330.0(320.0, 360.0)min, 300.0(250.0, 308.0)min, 270.0(216.0, 324.0)min, respectively ( P =0.010). The time of ileal conduit construction of the 3 groups were 136.5(131.3, 147.5)min, 92.0(79.0, 119.0)min, 79.0(72.0, 115.0)min, respectively ( P <0.001). In addition, the difference of the two variables above between A and B, A and C groups separately reached statistical significance ( P<0.05), while the difference between B and C groups did not ( P>0.05). Other variables, such as blood loss, complication rate, lymph node yield, surgical margin, between the 3 groups reached no statistical significance ( P>0.05). The operative time of group D was 420.0(350.0, 450.0)min, and it reached statistical significance ( P<0.05) when compared with group A. There were no significant differences in other variables, such as blood loss, complication rate, lymph node yield, surgical margin, among the 2 groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:The learning effect of LRC+ MIC was obvious. When surgeon volume increased, the operative time decreased significantly. Variables like estimated blood loss and complication rate of the 2 surgeons did not reached significant difference, which indicated reproductivity and safety of this procedure.

Objective To investigate the effect of paclitaxel and gemcitabine on the expression of nucleosomal binding protein 1(NSBP1) in bladder cancer cell line T24 and its significance. Methods Reverse transcription PCR(RT-PCR) and western blotting were used to detect the expression of NSBP1 in bladder cancer cell T24 treated by different concentration(10% ,40% ,80% IC50) of paclitaxel and gemcitabine for 48 hours. Results RT-PCR showed that relative optical density (OD) of NSBP1 in bladder cancer cell T24 treated by 0%, 10%,40% and 80% IC50 paclitaxel were 0.392 ±0.024, 0.227±0.037, 0.135±0. 063 and 0.091 ±0.017, respectively (P＜0.05). Relative OD of NSBP1 in bladder cancer cell T24 treated by 0%, 10%, 40% and 80% IC50 gemcitabine were 0.492±0.044, 0.262±0.031, 0.151±0.014 and 0.089±0.011, respectively. Western blotting showed that relative OD of NSBP1 in bladder cancer cell T24 treated by 0%, 10%,40% and 80% IC50 paclitaxel were 0.473±0.017, 0.252±0.041, 0.194±0.023 and 0.118±0.016, respectively. Relative OD of NSBP1 in bladder cancer cell T24 treated by 0, 10%, 40% and 80% IC50 gemcitabine were 0.581±0.014, 0.201±0.033, 0.135±0.021 and 0.114±0.011, respectively(P＜0.05). Conclusion Paclitaxel and gemcitabine can decrease the expression level of NSBP1 in bladder cancer cell line T24 both in mRNA and protein levels, so NSBP1 may be one of the targets of chemotherapy.

Objective To assess the perioperative safety and postoperative function of the pure 3-dimensional laparoscopic cystectomy and urinary diversion (P3DLC-UD).Methods From April 2014 to July 2015,P3DLC-UD was performed in 15 patients diagnosed with the bladder cancer in our center (orthotopic ileal neobladder for 8 cases and ileal conduit for 7 cases).Perioperative data,postoperative continence and overall survival rate were retrospectively analyzed.Results Fifteen patients underwent P3DLC-UD successfully as planned,with 8 patients underwent orthotopic ileal neobladder and 7 patients underwent ileal conduit.In neobladder group,the operative time were 300-600mmin (mean 428 min),estimated blood loss were l 00-400ml (mean 210mml),and dissected lymph nodes were 11-29 (mean 16).One patient required blood transfusion (800ml) and one patient was diagnosed of constipation.The patients were followed up for a median period of 10 months (3-15 months).The renal function was normal with serum creatinine of 36.4-99.0 μ mol/L (mean 77.3 μmol/L).One patient died of intestinal obstruction and 8 patients had no recurrence in neobladder group.As to postoperative continence,only 2 patients demanded 1 pad at daytime,while all patients needed 1 pad at nighttime.In ileal conduit group,the operative time were 300-390 min (mean 354 min),estimated blood loss were 50-400ml (mean 190ml),and dissected lymph nodes were 9-41 (mean 22),while 9-41 (mean 19) lymph nodes were got for all 15 cases.Two patients were diagnosed with urinary infection after the surgery.The patients were followed up for a median period of 5 months (1-9 months).The renal function was normal with serum creatinine of 36.4-74.0 μmol/L (mean 60.8 μmol/L).One patient died of cerebral infarction,and 1 patient found distant metastases in lung and died of cancer after chemotherapy during the follow-up period.There were no recurrent tumors of the other 5 patients in ileal conduit group.Conclusions P3DLC-UD is safe and feasible.More extensive,longer-term randomized trials are required to comprehensively assess the appropriateness and potential of this technique.

Objective:To evaluate the value of 68Ga-labeled prostate-specific membrane antigen( 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT)in the diagnosis of prostate cancer(PCa) and determination of the strategy on neurovascular bundle(NVB)preservation and lymphadenectomy before surgery. Methods:We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 46 patients with newly diagnosed PCa who underwent 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT from June 2018 to October 2019. The median age was 66.50 (60.00, 69.25) years old and the median PSA was 15.97(8.58, 33.10)ng/ml. Forty-one patients were diagnosed PCa and 5 were diagnosed with benign prostatic hyperplasia or prostatitis by 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT, 6 were diagnosed with lymph nodes metastasis. Forty patients underwent mpMRI, 33 were diagnosed PCa, and 6 were diagnosed with lymph nodes metastasis. Seventeen patients underwent 11C-choline PET/CT, 12 were diagnosed PCa, and 4 were diagnosed with lymph nodes metastasis. Among the 41 patients which were diagnosed PCa by 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT, 26 were confirmed with PCa by needling biopsy, 12 did not undergo the needling biopsy and 3 had negative biopsy; 22 were in the high-risk group, and 19 were in the low- and medium-risk group. All 41 patients underwent radical prostatectomy. The strategy of NVB preservation was determined by the position of the PCa reported by 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT. If the tumor was close to the unilateral prostate capsule, the healthy part of the NVB would be preserved. And if the tumor was limited in the prostate gland, bilateral NVB would be preserved. The NVB was preserved in 16 cases(6 cases unilateral and 10 cases bilateral). In addition to routine lymph node dissection for patients in the high-risk group, lymph node dissection was also performed on patients with 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT that showed positive lymph nodes in the low- and medium-risk groups. The paired chi-square or Fisher exact test was used to compare the sensitivity and specificity of 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT, mpMRI, and 11C-choline PET/CT for lesion detection. Spearman analysis was used to examine the correlation between the SUV max, Gleason score, and the PSA value before treatment. Results:Forty-one patients undergoing radical resection were diagnosed PCa by postoperative pathology, and no cancer tissue was observed at the surgical margin; the median Gleason score was 8(7, 9); 20 cases (48.8%) had a pathological stage ≤pT 2c; 21 cases (51.2%)≥pT 3; 7 cases were N+ (11 positive lymph nodes). Seven cases (17.1%) had complications of Clavien-Dindo ≤ grade 2 within 30 days after surgery, and there was no complication above grade 3 after surgery. The median follow-up time of the 41 patients was 16(12, 20). The rate of urinary control was 46.3%, 95.1%, and 100% after 1 month, 6 months, and 12 months follow-up respectively. Among the five patients that did not undergo surgery, the PSA value of 4 decreased after antibiotic treatment, and biopsy was performed in 1 case without PSA decreasing, and no carcinoma was found. The sensitivity of 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT on the primary PCa was 100%(41/41), which was significantly better than that of 11C-choline(80%, 12/15, P=0.016)and mpMRI (83.7%, 31/37, P=0.009), while no statistical significance was observed between the specificity of 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT (5/5)and 11C-choline PET/CT(2/2, P=1.000), 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT and mpMRI(1/3, P=0.107). Of the 41 patients that were diagnosed with PCa, the sensitivity of 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT to lymph nodes metastases(71.4%, 5/7) had a significant difference with that of mpMRI(16.7, 1/6, P=0.016), but no statistical difference with 11C-choline (75%, 3/4, P=1.000). Analysis of the relationship between SUV max of 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT, Gleason score, and PSA value before treatment revealed that the SUV max of 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT in patients with Gleason score ≥8 and <8 score were 19.60(9.58, 24.38) and 8.55 (5.18, 12.88); SUV max of patients with PSA values ≥20 ng/ml and <20 ng/ml before treatment were 19.40 (13.00, 23.50) and 8.40 (5.35, 13.95), respectively, the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). Conclusions:68Ga-PSMA PET/CT had high sensitivity and specificity for the diagnosis of primary prostate cancer lesions, but the sensitivity for the diagnosis of lymph node metastasis was not enough to guide the preoperative decision of whether to remove the lymph node and the scope of the removal. However, the treatment strategy of whether to retain NVB could be formulated according to the tumor location displayed by 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT before surgery.

Objective To discuss surgical tips and techniques of laparoscopic radical cystectomy in the female.Methods We retrospectively reviewed 29 females who underwent laparoscopic radical cystectomy between Feb.2008 and Mar.2017.The median age was 64 years (range 37-83 years),and the median BMI was 24.7 kg/m2 (range 12.1-31.2 kg/m2),and the median CCI was 3 (range 2-9).No distant metastasis was identified by bone scans,chest X-ray and sonography.Preoperative pathology were non-muscular infiltrating bladder cancer in 19 patients and muscular infiltrating bladder cancer in 10 patients by cystoscopic biopsy.Surgical method:under general anesthesia,the patients were placed in lithotomy position.A 5-port transperitoneal approach was used.Under laparoscopy,the suspensorium ligament of ovary was dissected and cut at lateral to the fimbriae of uterine tube,then the ureter was divided and umbilical artery was managed.The broad ligament of uterus was divided.Afterwards,the Douglas'pouch was opened and the fornix of vagina was cut transversely.Then,the endopelvic fascia was divided.The bladder was excised with the female reproductive organs together.If the female reproductive organs were decided to preserve,the dissection was performed along the space between bladder and uterus or vagina.Frozen section of urethra end andthe distal ureter were then obtained.The resected tissues were removed through the vagina,and then vagina was closed.Urinary diversion consisted of orthotopic ileal neobladder in 9 patients,ileal conduit in 14 patients,ureterostomy in 4 patients.All urinary tracts were removed for two cases due to renal function loss before surgery.Results Mean total operative time was 315 mins (ranged from180 mins to 420 mins).Estimated blood loss was 299 ml (ranged from 10 ml to 1 500 ml).Complications occurred in 2 cases.One patient had both vaginal infection and incomplete intestinal obstructionand the other had vaginal infection alone.No patients died in perioperative period.At a median follow up of 36.8 months (ranged from 2 to 110 months),24 patients (82.8％)were alive without recurrences,1 (3.4％) had metastasis in lymph nodes and 4 (13.8％) died.Conclusions Laparoscopic radical cystectomy in the female is technically feasible.Knowing female pelvic anatomy and grasping the techniques conduce to optimize the tips of the surgery and reduce complications.

Objective To compare perioperative outcomes and complications between intracorporeal and extracorporeal orthotopic ileal neobladder after laparoscopic radical cystectomy (LRC) from one center.Methods We retrospectively analysis patients' clinical and follow-up data who underwent laparoscopic radical cystectomy (LRC) in our hospital from January 2011 to May 2017,of whom 25 cases underwent intracorporeal orthotopic ileal neobladder (ICIN) and 20 cases underwent extracorporeal orthotopic ileal neobladder (ECIN).The patients' characteristics,perioperative data,postoperative pathological results,postoperative complications and oncologic outcomes were compared and analyzed.The mean age of ECIN group was (59.9 ± 10.5)years,mean BMI was (24.7 ±3.3)kg/m2,the ASA level was less than Ⅱ in 19 cases and level Ⅲ in 1 case,the mean preoperative CCI was 4.5 ± 1.6,3 patients got preoperative neoadjuvant chemotherapy.The mean age of ICIN group was (59.0 ± 9.8) years,mean BMI was (25.3 ±4.3)kg/m2,the ASA level was less than Ⅱ in 25 cases and no level Ⅲ,mean preoperative CCI was 4.0 ±1.3,3 patients got preoperative neoadjuvant chemotherapy.There was no statistical difference between the two groups in patients' characteristics.All operations were performed under general anesthesia.After LRC was accomplished,an additional 12 mm trocar was placed 1 cm crania to the pubic symphysis for EndoGIA in ICIN group.An ileal segment 60 cm long was isolated 25 cm proximal to the ileocecum.The continuity of the small bowel was restored with side to side anastomosis.The proximal 10 cm was moved to the distal end of the ileal segment for the right isoperistaltic afferent limb,and the remaining proximal 10 cm ileal segment was reserved for the left isoperistaltic afferent limb.Then,the remaining length of the 40 cm ileal segment was detubularized along its antimesenteric border.The anterior wall of the neobladder was folded forward and the free edges were sutured to achieve a spherical configuration.After single J ureteric stents were inserted into the ureters,the urethra and ureters were sutured with neobladder successively.For ECIN,the ileal segment is removed via a midline laparotomy below the umbilicus 5-10 cm.The construction method of neobladder was the same with ICIN group.Results All 45 cases were successfully operated.There was no statistical difference between ICIN group and ECIN group in operation time [(374.2 ± 74.6) min vs.(360.3 ±83.6)min,P =0.557] and extraction time of pelvic drainage tube[(12.5 ±5.9)d vs.(11.8 ±4.5)d,P =0.686].Patients in the ICIN group had less intraoperative blood loss [(186.0 ± 140.3)ml vs.(272.0 ±110.7) ml,P =0.030],shorter oral intake time [(4.2 ± 2.2) d vs.(6.1 ± 1.6) d,P =0.002],shorter postoperative hospital stay [(13.7 ± 4.2) d vs.(19.9 + 7.6) d,P =0.001].There was no significant difference in the early postoperative complications (P =0.345).The median follow-up time of ICIN group and ECIN group were 30 months and 52.5 months,respectively.The day-time and night-time continence rate were 97.4％ and 86.8％ respectively in the first year after surgery without significant difference.A total of 6 patients suffered distant metastasis,of whom 4 patients suffered multiple metastases,1 case bone metastases and 1 case pelvic lymph node metastasis.Seven patients died,five of whom died of tumor recurrence or metastasis.There was no statistical difference between the two groups in cancer specific survival rates (P =0.644) and recurrence free survival rates (P =0.981).Conclusions Comparing with extracorporeal orthotopic ileal neobladder,intracorporeal orthotopic ileal neobladder has advantages of less blood loss and faster intestinal function recovery,without significantly increased operative time and complications.No significant difference was found in the function of neobladder and oncological outcomes.Randomized controlled trial with large sample and long-term follow-up is needed to verify the advantages of intracorporeal neobladder construction.

Objective:To explore the effect of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols in patients undergoing laparoscopic radical cystectomy (LRC) and intracorporeal urinary diversion (ICUD).Methods:A total of 83 patients who received LRC+ ICUD in Beijing Chaoyang Hospital from March 2014 to September 2020, were divided into 2 groups based on different perioperative management, including 29 ERAS cases and 54 conventional recovery after surgery (CRAS) cases. The ERAS group included 26 males and 3 females , with an average age of (62.07 ± 9.26) years. There were 26 patients with ASA class Ⅰ-Ⅱ, 3 patients with ASA class Ⅲ, 4 patients received neoadjuvant chemotherapy, and 7 patients had a history of abdominal surgery in ERAS group. The CRAS group included 44 males and 10 females , with an average age of (61.59 ± 10.16) years. There were 50 patients with ASA class Ⅰ-Ⅱ, 4 patients with ASA class Ⅲ, 9 patients received neoadjuvant chemotherapy, and 10 patients had a history of abdominal surgery in CRAS group. There were no statistically significant differences in the baseline characteristics between the two groups. The patients in both groups underwent LRC+ ICUD procedures. The perioperative results and complications between the two groups were compared.Results:In the ERAS group, there were 20 patients who underwent Bricker ileal conduit surgery and 9 patients who underwent Studer orthotopic ileal neobladder surgery. Pathological staging included 3, 3, 7, 7, 5 and 4 cases in stage T a, T is, T 1, T 2, T 3 and T 4a, respectively. There were 23, 2, 3 and 1 patient with pathological stage N 0, N 1, N 2 and N 3, respectively. Pathological diagnosis included 3 cases of low-grade urothelial carcinoma, 24 cases of high-grade urothelial carcinoma, and 2 cases of other histological subtypes. In the CRAS group, there were 31 patients who underwent Bricker ileal conduit surgery and 23 patients who underwent Studer orthotopic ileal neobladder surgery. Pathological staging included 5, 3, 12, 9, 15 and 10 patients in stage T a, T is, T 1, T 2, T 3 and T 4a, respectively. There were 35, 6, 7 and 6 patients with pathological stage N 0, N 1, N 2, and N 3, respectively. Pathological diagnoses included 6 cases of low-grade urothelial carcinoma, 45 cases of high-grade urothelial carcinoma, and 3 cases of other histological subtypes. There were no statistically significant differences ( P>0.05) in surgical methods, pathological staging, or pathological types between the ERAS and CRAS groups. ERAS group presented less albumin loss [(25.73±8.63)% vs. (32.63±9.05)%, P=0.001], shorter hospital stay [9(7, 13)d vs. 12(9, 16)d, P=0.006], less 30-day overall complications [55.2% (16/29) vs. 83.3% (45/54), P=0.009]. In multivariable analysis, maximum albumin loss≥20% was independently associated with 30-day minor complications ( P=0.049), and maximum albumin loss ≥25% was independently associated with hospital of stay≥10 days ( P=0.038), respectively. Conclusions:For patients who received LRC+ ICUD, ERAS was associated with reduced perioperative albumin loss, shorter length of stay, less 30-day complications, accelerated recovery time, improved clinical outcome and less albumin injection.

Objective To discuss the effect and value of wrapping ureter by a pedicled gastrocolic omentum flap during cutaneous ureterostomy as urinary diversion after radical cystectomy.Methods The clinical data of 12 cases(7 males and 5 females)with bladder cancer during January 2016 and September 2017 were retrospectively analyzed.The median age was 77 years (range 75-83),and the course of the disease was 5 days to 2 years.11 cases had gross hematuria,5 cases had frequent and urgent urination,1 case had lower abdominal pain,and 1 case had no obvious clinical symptoms.9 cases had a history of transurethral prostatic resection.8 cases had a complication of hypertension,5 cases had a complication of diabetes,7 cases had a complication of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases,and 6 cases had a complication of anemia.The ASA level was 3 in 9 cases and was level 4 in 3 cases.All the patiants were diagnosed of bladder urothelial carcinoma by biopsy.There were 8 cases with T3 tumor and 4 cases with T4.All the patients underwent laparoscopic radical cystectomy under general anesthesia,and wrapping ureter by a pedicled gastrocolic omentum flap during cutaneous ureterostomy was used for urinary diversion.Take a segment of 3-5 cm wide pedicle omentum,which is covered from the distal end of the ureter to the end,and use a 4-0 absorbable line to fix the omentum and ureteral outer membrane,and then perform ureterocutaneostomy.The incidence of postoperative anastomotic stenosis,hydronephrosis and wound infection were observed.Results All the operations were performed successfully without obvious operative complications.The mean operating duration was125 (95-217) mins,estimated volume of blood loss 120 (50-600)ml.5 days after surgery,1 patient developed incision infection,which was cured by strengthening anti-infection drug therapy and wound dressing.No complications such as urinary fistula,intestinal fistula and peripheral hernia occurred.No death was reported during perioperative period.Single J tube was removed 1-3 months after surgery.Within a follow-up of 12 (3-23) months,1 case died of cerebral infarction 3 months after surgery,1 case occurred papilla light constriction without special treatment,no ureteral stenosis and necrosis cases and there were no cases of hydronephrosis.All the patients were satisfied with the quality of life after surgery.Conclusions Wrapping ureter by a pedicled gastrocolic omentum flap during cutaneous ureterostomy is simple,safe and effective as urinary diversion after radical cystectomy.

【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.
