ObjectiveTo investigate the characteristics,treatment and prognosis of solid pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas(SPTP)in the minor. MethodsCombining minor SPTP cases in literatures and 4 cases, analyzed the clinical and pathological features, and the relationship with sex hormone receptors, the growth and development,treatment and prognosis.ResultsThe clinical manifestations of SPTP in minor were same as adults, but the minors showed significant growth retardation which can be reversed after the tumor surgical removal, like 4 patients all showed secondary sex characteristics of retardation in the group. The protocol of surgical treatment was to ensure complete removal of the tumor and keep the healthy organs as much as possible which reduced the impact to the postoperative growth and development.The premise of operation therapy in the 4 cases was minimization of operation trauma. Minor SPTP prognosis had not been determined. ConclusionThe diagnosis and treatment of minor SPTP should be fully taken into account the characteristics of the minor to ensure that patients can continue long-term growth and development and the quality of life.

Objective To study the changes of the symptoms and quality of life (QOL) in patients after the Transvaginal tape-obturator (TVT-O) treatment and weather would this treatment lead to bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) and bladder function change. Methods A total of 82 stress urinary incontinence (SUI) women who had underwent TVT-O were included, age from 39-82 years, 3-60 months after operation. All patients were divided into 5 groups by the time post-operation. The ICI-Q-SF scores were collected to study the change of the symptoms and QOL of each group perioperation. Qmax, PVR, bladder weight, wall thickness of each group were collected to study whether would TVT-O lead to BOO and bladder function change. Results Forty-five (55%) patients were cured and 33(40 %) improved after TVT-O. Total cure rate was 95 %. There was a significant improvement of average symptom and QOL in all of the 5 groups (3-month, 6-month, 1-year, 2-year, above-2-year) (P＜0. 05). Qmax changed from (32. 17±10.74), (25.64±6.05), (25.68±11.36), (25.70±10. 28), (25.29±15. 10)ml/s pre-operation to (28.30±15.21), (25.64±10. 48), (24. 49±7.96),(25.43±11.92), (25. 92± 10. 17)ml/s post-operation in 5 groups(P＞0. 05). PVR changed from (0.04±0.20), (0. 00±0.00), (0. 17±0. 39), (2.70±6.01), (1. 96±5.10)ml pre-operation to (1. 79±6.16), (0.00±0.00), (12. 50±29.89), (5.00±15. 54), (33. 70±92.10)ml post-operation in 5 groups(P＞0.05). The bladder weight changed from (43. 62±7.81), (41. 57±8. 63), (46.11±8.12), (42. 50±3. 85), (44. 52±4. 38)g pre-operation to (45. 62±5.32), (47.21±5. 47),(44.89±4. 65), (45. 14±4. 13), (46. 70±5.84)g post-operation, which differed significantly in 6-month, 2-year, above-2-year groups (P＜0. 05). The bladder wall thickness changed from (2.23±0.51), (2.22±0.47), (2.04±0.38), (2. 19±0. 43), (2. 19±0. 38)mm pre-operation to (2.25±0. 40), (2. 18±0.47), (2. 07±0.47), (2.22±0. 47), (2. 20±0. 44)mm post-operation(P＞0. 05).Conclusions TVT-O has a high cure rate for SUI and there was a significant improvement of average symptom and QOL of all patients after the treatment. But TVT-O may lead to BOO and bladder function change since bladder weight increases significantly in some patients.

Objective To study the influence of overactive bladder (OAB) on the symptoms and quality of life (QoL) in patients after Transvaginal Tape-Obturator (TVT-O) treatment for stress urinary incontinence (SUI).Methods Eighty-two SUI women underwent TVT-O were included in this study.The perioperative ICI-Q-SF scores,including frequency of leakage,volume of leakage,and QOL scores,were collected to study the perioperative OAB prevalence and the influence of OAB on the improvement on the symptoms and QOL after TVT-O.Results The total efficacy of TVT-O was 95%.The average symptom and QOL scores in all patients decrease from (8.17±2.29)and (7.95±2.16)to (1.84±2.34)and(1.32±2.24)after TVT-O,P＜0.05.The prevalence of OAB decreased from 46% to 24% after TVT-O,P＜0.05.The average post-operation symptom and QOL scores of the pre-operation non-OAB group were (1.09±1.60)and(0.82±1.45),while those of the OAB group were (2.71±2.75) and (1.89±2.82),P＜0.05.The average post-operation symptom and QOL scores of the post-operation non-OAB group were (1.06±1.68) and (0.56±1.15),while those of the OAB group were (4.25±2.49) and (3.65±3.10),P＜0.05.Conclusions TVT-O is effective for female stress urinary incontinence and contributes to the significant improvement of symptoms and QOL in patients with OAB.The treatment will not raise the prevalence of OAB in itself.

Objective To study the relationship between gastroesophageal varices and bleeding and portal venous tumor thrombi in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC). Methods From Jan. 2000 to Jan. 2003, 84 HCC patients with portal vein tumor thrombi were divided into Ⅰ～Ⅳ groups according to Ⅰ～Ⅳ types of tumor thrombi. The grade of gastroesophageal varices, the median survival time and the death cause for group Ⅰ～Ⅳ were retrospectively analyzed. Results Mild grade of gastroesophageal varices accounted for 64.7%, 6.0%, 85.7%,100%, respectively in group Ⅰ(n=17), Ⅱ(n=26),Ⅲ( n=35) and group Ⅳ(n=6),respectively. Severe varices were found in less than 5% in all four groups. The median survival periods were 10.1, 7.2, 5.7 and 3.0 months, respectively (P=0.0001). Most cases died from esophageal and gastric variceal bleeding and hepatic failure, with each accounting for about 50% of the mortality in all the 4 groups. Conclusions Portal venous tumor thrombi of HCC patients was not the major cause leading to esophageal and gastric varices and bleeding.

Objective To assess the feasibility of a novel 99Tcm labelled polypeptide analogue for interleukin-11 receptor ( IL11R) imaging in a bone metastases model for prostate cancer. Methods A novel circular polypeptide analogue of IL11 ( c( CGRRAGGSC ) ) was indirectly labeled with 99Tcm and the product was named as 99Tcm-DTPA-IL11 RR. The labeling efficiency, radiochemical purity and stability of the product were measured with paper chromatography and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The biodistribution of 99Tcm-DTPA-IL11RR was investigated in 28 ICR normal mice. The organ radioactivity was measured as percentage activity of injection dose per gram of tissue ( %ID/g). The models of bone metastases from prostate cancer were established at the tibias of BALB/c nude mice bearing human prostate cancer PC-3 cells. The tumor bearing ( n= 5 ) and standard closed fracture nude mice models underwent both 99Tcm-DTPA-IL11RR and 99Tcm-methylene diphosphonate (MDP) scintigraphy study. The images were acquired at 0.5, 1,2, 4, 6, 8, 24 h after intravenous injection of the tracers. The competitive inhibition imaging was perfomed in three tumor bearing mice. One-way variance analysis was used. Results The labeling efficiency was 90.7%. The radiochemical purity of 99Tcm-DTPA-IL11RR in normal saline solution was (99.57 ±0.09)%, (99.29 ±0.18)%, (98.95 ±0.78)%, (98.67 ±0.11)%, (96.53 ±0.91)%, (95.20±0.70)%, (88.38 ±0.22)% and (36.17±1.29)% at room temperature after0, 1,2, 3, 4, 6, 8 and 24 h, respectively. The tracer radiochemical purity in the blood of ICR mice remained over 90% at 37 C for 6 h. The labeling compounds were excreted mainly through kidney. The peak uptake of bone ( ( 1.910 ±0.109) %ID/g) and liver ( (0.366 ±0.030) %ID/g) was at 4 h after injection. In the tumor bearing mice, the uptake of spine marrow and large joints of extremities was mild. The highest uptake at tumor region was at 4 h and persistent at 6-8 h after injection. The tumor to non-tumor ratios (T/NT) were 1.17 ±0.17, 2.20 ±0.29, 3.20 ±0.15, 3.67 ±0.23, 13.61±0.85, 9.45 ±0.37 and 3.33 ±0.30 at 0.5,1, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 24 h, respectively (F=621.54, P＜0.05). In the standard closed fracture models,high uptake of 99Tcm-MDP was shown at the fracture site, with no increased 99Tcm-DTPA-IL11RR uptake noted. The tumor uptake was significantly depressed after a pre-injection of the unlabeled polypeptide analogue. Conclusions The synthesis of 99Tcm-DTPA-IL11RR is stable and the labeling efficiency is high. It may be a potential molecular probe in metastatic bone imaging for prostate cancer.
