Objective To evaluate the efficacy of modular flexible ureteroscopy combined with holmium laser lithotripsy for the treatment of renal and upper ureteral stones . Methods A total of 97 patients with renal and upper ureteral stones were treated with modular flexible ureteroscopy combined with holmium laser lithotripsy in our hospital from October 2012 to February 2016.Under general anesthesia (90 cases) or epidural anesthesia (7 cases), a flexible ureteroscope was used to find renal or ureteral calculus and holmium laser lithotripsy was applied at a maximum energy of 1.2-1.6 J/10 -12 Hz (12-20 W).F6 or F7 double-J stents and catheters were routinely placed postoperatively .B-ultrasonography , KUB or CT were performed to evaluate the stone free rate 4 weeks after operation . Results Two patients suffered ureteral perforation due to stenosis and tortuosity of the ureter , and were given double-J stent placement under rigid ureteroscopy for 2 weeks and then flexible ureteroscopic treatment .Six patients underwent staged operations because of ureteral strictures .The operations were successful in the remaining 89 patients.Except for unsuccessful exploration in 3 cases of lower calyx calculi , the operation time of other 94 patients was 30-190 min (mean, 100 min).The stone detection rate was 96.9%(94/97), and the stone free rate was 88.6% (86/97).The stone free rates were 100.0% (25/25) for upper and middle calyx calculi, 75.0%(9/12) for lower calyx calculi, and 85.1% (23/27) for pelvis and multiple calyx calculi. Ureteral perforation was encountered in 2 cases.No massive hemorrhage occurred .Postoperative high fever was seen in 5 cases, with a body temperature of 38.5-39.3℃, which were cured after anti-infection treatment for 2 -7 d.The patients were discharged from hospital in 2-7 days (mean, 3.3 days) after operation.Review with B-ultrasonography, KUB or CT at 4 weeks after operation found 5 cases of residual stones >4 mm, including 3 cases located in lower calyx and 2 cases in multiple calyx . Conclusion Modular flexible ureteroscopy combined with holmium laser lithotripsy is effective and safe for the treatment of renal calculi .

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most frequent human malignancies worldwide with very poor prognosis. It is generally accepted that the progression of HCC is a long-term process with accumulation of multiple genetic and epigenetic alterations, which further lead to the activation of critical oncogenes or inactivation of tumor suppressor genes. HCC is characterized with multiple cancer hallmarks including their ability to proliferate, anti-apoptosis, invade, metastasis, as well as the emerging features such as stem cell properties and energy metabolic switch. The irreversible alterations at genetic level could be detected as early as in the pre-neoplastic stages and accumulate during cancer progression. Thus, they might account for the cancer initiating steps and further malignant transformation. In addition to genetic alterations, epigenetic alterations can affect the cancer transcriptome more extensively. Alterations in DNA methylation, histone modification, miRNAs, RNA editing, and lncRNAs might result in disrupted gene regulation networks and substantially contribute to HCC progression. In this review, the genetic and epigenetic alterations which significantly contribute to the malignant capabilities of HCC will be updated and summarized in detail. Further characterization of those critical molecular events might better elucidate the pathogenesis of HCC and provide novel therapeutic targets for treatment of this deadly disease.

Objective To investigate the risk factors and clinical features of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in patients with ischemic cerebral small vessel disease (SVD) for early diagnosis and prevention.Methods Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale (MoCA) was used to screen MCI.The related risk factors and other clinical data were collected,and other neuropsychological tests were conducted.SVD was divided into leukoaraiosis (LA),lacunar infarction (LI),and LA + LI.Results A total of 143 patients with SVD were enrolled (68 in an MCI group,75 in a non-MCI group).Univariate analysis showed that there was no significant difference in the constituent ratio of age and gender between the MCI group and the non-MCI group,but the years of education in the MCI group was shorter than that in the non-MCI group,while the composition ratios of hypertension (69.11％ vs.45.33 ％;x2 =8.215,P =0.004),diabetes (57.35％ vs.40.00％;x2 =4.301,P =0.038),hyperlipidemia (48.53％ vs.24.00％ ; x2 =9.352,P =0.002),carotid atherosclerosis (41.18％ vs.21.33％ ;x2 =6.592,P =0.010),and smoking (32.35％ vs.14.67％ ;x2 =6.285,P =0.012),as well as the levels of uric acid (351.81 ± 83.21 mmol/L vs.323.03 ± 80.43 mmol/L; t =2.102,P =0.037) and total cholesterol (5.26 ± 1.26 mmol/L vs.4.56 ± 1.23 mmol/L; t =3.326,P =0.001) were significantly higher than those in the non-MCI group.Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that hypertension (odds ratio OR]2.227,95％ confidence interval [CI],1.001-4.954; P =0.026),diabetes (OR 2.056,95％ CI 1.862-4.937; P =0.046),hyperlipidemia (OR 2.528,95％ CI 1.361-5.770; P =0.028),carotid atherosclerosis (OR 2.658,95％ CI 1.110-6.367; P =0.029),smoking (OR 2.566,95％ CI 1.017-6.474; P =0.046),and years of education (OR 0.825,95％ CI 0.745-0.914; P =0.000) were the independent risk factors for the occurrence of MCI in patients with SVD.The subscores in the MCI group,including MoCA total score (18.44 ± 5.60 vs.27.09 ± 1.37; t =-12.422; P =0.000),as well as visuoconstructional skills (2.65 ± 1.39 vs.4.49 ± 0.74; t =-9.762; P =0.000),attention (4.48 ± 1.70vs.5.89 ± 0.31; t =6.706,P=0.000),language (1.69 ± 0.80vs.2.41 ± 0.95 ; t =4.893,P=0.018),abstraction (0.85 ± 0.69 vs.1.71 ± 0.53; t=-7.081,P=0.000),delayed recall (1.29 ±1.01 vs.4.04 ± 0.99; t =13.824,P =0.000) were significantly lower than those in the non-MCI group,and there were no significant differences in naming and orientation scores.In the MCI group,the subscores such as theMoCA total score in the LA+LI group (17.04 ± 6.15 vs.21.04 ± 3.98; P＜0.05),as well as visuoconstructional skills (1.68 ± 1.16 vs.3.24 ± 1.13; P ＜ 0.05),attention (3.92 ± 2.03 vs.5.19 ±0.87; P ＜0.05),delayed recall (1.35 ± 1.01 vs.1.86 ± 1.58; P ＜0.05) were significantly lower than those in the LI group; the subscores such as the MoCA total score in the LA group (18.18 ± 5.31 vs.21.04 ± 3.98; ＜ =0.05),as well as visuoconstructional skills (2.56 ± 1.78 vs.3.24 ± 1.13; P＜0.05),language (0.64 ± 0.23 vs.1.24 ± 0.83; P ＜0.05),delayed recall (0.69 ± 0.58vs.1.86 ± 1.58;P＜0.01)were significantly lower than those in the LI group; the visuoconstructional skills in the LA + LI group was significantly lower than that in the LA group (1.68 ± 1.16 vs.2.56 ± 1.78; P＜0.05) and the LI group (1.68 ± 1.16 vs.3.24 ± 1.13; P＜ 0.05).Conclusions Hypertension,diabetes,hyperlipidemia,carotid atherosclerosis,smoking,and the low level of education were the independent risk factors for MCI in patients with SVD.After SVD,the cognitive impairment in MCI presented as multiple cognitive domains impairments,including visuoconstructional skills and delayed recall.Cognitive impairment differed among the different types of SVD.

Objective To discuss the efficacy of intravesical instillation of sodium hyaluronate for the treatment of cystitis glandularis after transurethral resection.Methods 85 patients (9 male and 76 female,age range 37-70 years,mean age 51) who were diagnosed as CG in China-Japan Union Hospital of Jilin University underwent transurethral resection.After the operation they were divided into three groups randomly according to different intravescal instillation:sodium hyaluronate for group A,epirubicin for group B and no medicine for group C.The group A started to instill with sodium hyaluronate 40mg once a week for four weeks,and then once a month for four months.The group B did the same way of intravesical instillation of epirubicin.All the patients were followed-up for 12 months.The cystoscopy was done every three months to detect recurrence and the clinical symptom score was evaluated at 1,3,6 and 12 months.Results No patients in group A treated by sodium hyaluronate relapsed but 6 cases and 9 cases in group B and group C respectively.Recurrence rate of group A is significant low compared with group B and C (P ＜ 0.05).The scores of clinical symptom score appendix after 1,3,6 and 12 months for group A were (3.18 ± 1.44),(1.29 ±0.66),(1.25 ±0.65) and (1.21 ±0.63),respectively.It was (3.37 ±1.62),(3.33 ±1.59),(1.37±0.74) and (1.30±0.61) for group B,and (3.47±1.81),(3.40±1.52),(3.27±1.41) and (3.23 ± 1.19) for group C.Compare the score of clinical symptom in the same group,there were significant differences for the score after 3 months compare with the score after 1 month in group A (P ＜ 0.05).But in group B,the significant differences showed after 6 months (P ＜ 0.05).There was no significant difference in group C (P ＞ 0.05) in the whole year.Conclusions Intravesical sodium hyaluronate therapy can effectively decline the recurrence rate of cystitis glandularis after transurethral resection.It could also significantly improve the urinary tract symptoms.

Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) is one of the most sensitive and specific laboratory indicators during cardiac dysfunction.N-Terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) is the N-terminal precursor of BNP.The functions of both are not consistent,but its physicochemical properties are superior to BNP.Now it has been widely used in the diagnosis and treatment monitoring of cardiovascular diseases.In the field of stroke,the testing and application of BNP,especially NT-proBNP is less.This article reviews the roles of NT-proBNP in cardio-cerebrovascular diseases,especially in ischemic cerebrovascular disease.
