The clinical and pathological data of 6 patients with urahcal adenocar,cinoma of the bladder admitted in Beijing Luhe Hospital from 1996 to 2016 were analyzed and relevant literature was reviewed.Urachal carcinoma accounted for 0.66% of the bladder cancers admitted at the same period (6/906) and 6/16 of the bladder adenocarcinomas.Painless hematuria was the most common symptom.One patient had extensive metastasis as shown in biopsy and died 6 month after the diagnosis.Two patients underwent partial excision of bladder with no tumor recurrence.One patient underwent partial cystectomy followed by chemotherapy and radiotherapy, recurrence occurred one year later and he then received radical cystectomy.Another 2 patients underwent laparoscopic cystectomy and en bloc resection of umbilical ligament and umbilicus, and no recurrence was found in the follow-up for 6 years and 15 months, respectively.Pathological and immunohistochemistry are essential for the diagnosis of urachal adenocarcinoma.As it is not sensitive to radiotherapy or chemotherapy,surgery is the preferred treatment for patients with early stage diseases.Individual anticancer therapy may be the trend of treatment.

Objective To explore the clinical efficacy and safety of transcatheter absolute ethanol injection treatment on varicose veins of lower extremity.Methods twenty-there patients with 25 varicose veins of lower extremity were treated by puncture of great saphenous vein above 1—2 cm of complicated inner ankle,perforating catheter to the point below the 3—4 cm of the conjunction of great saphenous vein and Femoral vein and pressing the conjunction of these two veins.Under the monitor of DSA,inject the absolute ethenal slowly while retrieve the catheter little by little(one limb with varicose veins injected total volume 15—20 ml),in the mean time,using contrast agent to monitor the level of embolism until the formation of total embolism in the all great saphenous veins.Results All the cases were retrospectively followed up with CDFI examination after 3—12 months of the surgery,No blood flow were seen in the 25 embolismic great saphenous vein.Clinical symptom were alleviated obviously after 2—3 weeks of treatment;varicose veins were collapse after 3 to 7 days.Two eases of leg ulceration were healed after 4 to 6 weeks of operation.20 limbs were found mild swelling in the 2 day after the surgery.However,all the cases were disappeared after 1 to 2 weeks;4 treated limbs developed delayed paresthesia in the 3 day after the surgery,and recovered totally in the 2 weeks.No complications of deep vein thrombosis,lung thrombosis etc al,were found after operation.Conclusions Using transcatheter injection of absolute ethanol to treat varicose veins of lower extremity has the advantage of less invasion,more safety and low appearance of complications.The short term efficacy is solid while the long term effect needs further evaluation.

Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics and factors influencing adverse treatment outcomes in elderly patients with multidrug-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis (MDR-TB) to guide the clinical diagnosis and treatment of elderly MDR-TB patients. Methods Clinical data of elderly patients with multidrug-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis initially treated at Beijing Chest Hospital from 2008 to 2023 were retrospectively collected. Complications/comorbidities, adverse drug reactions, drug resistance during initial treatment, and retreatment were statistically described. Factors influencing adverse treatment outcomes were analyzed using the chi-square test and logistic regression analysis. Results A total of 238 elderly patients with MDR-TB were collected, of which 152 (63.9%) had adverse drug reactions, 184 (77.3%) were retreated MDR-TB, 27 (11.3%) were extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis (XDR-TB), 41 were cured, 6 completed treatment, 39 failed treatment, 6 died, 107 lost to follow-up, 31 could not be evaluated, 8 did not finish treatment, and the treatment success rate was 20.4% (47/230). The adverse outcome of treatment accounted for 79.6% (183/230). Univariate analysis showed that differences in age groups, the occurrence of drug adverse reactions, and patient sources had a statistically significant impact on treatment outcomes (P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis was performed using good and adverse treatment outcomes as dependent variables for the three factors, which showed that being aged 70 and above, the occurrence of drug adverse reactions during treatment, and being a non-local patient were factors influencing adverse treatment outcomes [OR (95%CI): 2.507 (1.027-6.121), 3.253 (1.635-6.473), 2.563 (1.285-5.111), respectively]. Conclusions Elderly patients with MDR-TB exhibit a high prevalence of complications/comorbidities, a high incidence of drug adverse reactions, and unfavorable treatment outcomes. Out-of-town medical treatment, advanced age, and experiencing drug adverse reactions are risk factors for adverse treatment outcomes.

The aim of the present study is to investigate the protective effect of chrysin (5,7-dihydroxyflavone) on right ventricular remodeling in a rat model of monocrotaline-induced pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). PAH rats were induced by a single injection of monocrotaline (60 mg x kg(-1), sc) and were administered with chrysin (50 or 100 mg x kg(-1) x d(-1)) for 4 weeks. At the end of experiment, the right ventricular systolic pressure (RVSP) and mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP) were monitored via the right jugular vein catheterization into the right ventricle. Right ventricle (RV) to left ventricle (LV) + septum (S) and RV to tibial length were calculated. Right ventricular morphological change was observed by HE staining. Masson's trichrome stain was used to demonstrate collagen deposition. The total antioxidative capacity (T-AOC) and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels in right ventricle were determined according to the manufacturer's instructions. The expressions of collagen I, collagen III, NADPH oxidase 4 (NOX4) and nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) were analyzed by immunohistochemisty, qPCR and (or) Western blot. The results showed that chrysin treatment for 4 weeks attenuated RVSP, mPAP and right ventricular remodeling index (RV/LV+S and RV/Tibial length) of PAH rats induced by monocrotaline. Furthermore, monocrotaline-induced right ventricular collagen accumulation and collagen I and collagen III expression were both significantly suppressed by chrysin. The expressions of NOX4, NF-κB and MDA contents were obviously decreased, while the T-AOC was significantly increased in right ventricule from PAH rats with chrysin treatment. These results suggest that chrysin ameliorates right ventricular remodeling of PAH induced by monocrotaline in rats through its down-regulating of NOX4 expression and antioxidant activity, and inhibiting NF-κB expression and collagen accumulation.
