Objective To summarize the clinical features,diagnosis and treatment of autologous urologic neoplasms in renal transplant recipients.Methods A retrospective analysis on the clinical data of 25 renal transplant recipients was done in our center.The onset time of new neoplasms was between 29 to 72 months after transplantation,with an average of 48.2 months.Intermittent hematuria was the first symptom in 23 patients,and the rest two cases were diagnosed through routine examination. The pathological diagnoses of thee cases were renal carcinoma,which were treated by transperitoneal laparoscopic radical nephrectomy.Eight cases were diagnosed as having renal pelvic tumor,which was treated by radical resection for the renal pelvic carcinoma.Fourteen cases were diagnosed as having bladder cancer,which was treated by transurethral resection of bladder tumor (13 cases) or radical cystectomy (one case).All patients were subjected to surgical treatment.The dosage of MMF,CSA/Tacrolimus was decreased to 1/2-2/3 of their original dosage. Sirolimus was used in place of calcineurin inhibitors in four patients.Immunosuppressive regimes and adjuvant therapy were given after surgery treatment.Results Twenty-five patients were followed up for 12-84 months.Contralateral renal carcinoma combined with lung and chest multiple metastases occurred in one case after radical nephrectomy,who died after targeted therapy 6 months later.Two patients with lymph node metastasis died 14 months and 20 months after surgery respectively.The rest 22 patients were closely followed up,whose creatinine remained 98-163μmol/L.Conclusion More attention should be paid to patients with hematuria after renal transplantation to screen the autologous urinary neoplasms.Patients should be treated with surgical procedures,and immunosuppressive regimens should be adjusted postoperatively.

BACKGROUND: Increasing evidence has shown that high-intensity warming up, including dynamic and static kinetotherapies, can improve the performance of muscle explosive power. However, the training scheme to achieve the best effect remains unclear. OBJECTIVE: To discuss whether the high-intensity dynamic and static kinetotherapies can enhance post-activation potentiation of the upper and lower limbs, so as to fully understand the high-intensity warming up, and thus promote the training efficacy. METHODS: Ovid Medline, Elsevier SDOL, PubMed, and CBJ databases were retrieved for the articles addressing the post-activation potentiation of high-intensity dynamic and static kinetotherapies published before 2016. The articles were classified in accordance with Oxford Centre for Evidence-based Medicine Levels of Evidence. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The possible mechanisms of the post-activation potentiation include the phosphorylation of myosin regulation light chain, the increase in motor unit recruitment as well as the change of pinnate angle. The resistance exercise at an appropriate mode, including dynamic, static, and dynamic combined with static, significantly induces post-activation potentiation, and improves the explosive force. Post-activation potentiation is impacted by muscle contraction type, amount of exercise, exercise intensity, induction time, and history of the subjects (training experience, absolute muscle force, and muscle fiber composition). High-intensity stimulus of post-activation potentiation may be accompanied by the generation of fatigue, and the inappropriate recovery time may result in the imperfect performance of post-activation potentiation.

Objective To analyze the clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of different subtypes of breast cancer patients with bone metastasis.Methods For this study, we recruited 300 primary breast cancer patients with bone metastasis treated at the Department of Oncology, the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi`an Jiaotong University, between September 1, 2007 and September 1, 2011.We also retrospectively analyzed their clinical and follow-up data.Results The percentage of Luminal A, Luminal B, human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER-2) overexpression and triple negative subtypes in all the bone metastatic breast cancer patients was 59.0%, 16.0%, 13.7% and 11.3%, respectively.Age, tumor size and histologic grade significantly differed among the four subtypes (P<0.05).However, there were no significant differences in menopausal status, lymph node metastasis, histological type or lymphovascular invasion among different subtypes (P>0.05).The median survival time of Luminal A breast cancer patients with bone metastasis was 28.6 months, longer than Luminal B (26.9 months), HER-2 overexpression (20.9 months) and triple negative breast cancer patients (12.0 months) with bone metastasis.The overall survival significantly differed among the patients with four subtypes of breast cancer.Conclusion Different subtypes of breast cancer patients with bone metastasis have different clinical characteristics and prognosis.Luminal A breast cancer patients with bone metastasis have better prognosis whereas triple negative subtype has poorer prognosis.

The evaluation of the immunosuppression state in liver transplanted recipients is vital for a correct posttransplantation management and a major step towards the personalized treatment of the immunosuppression.To date,immunological monitoring after liver transplantation relies mainly on clinical judgment and pathological examination of the graft,without a proper assessment of the actual state.Previous studies have ever identified many markers for acute rejection(AR) and immune tolerance after liver transplantation.Many markers for AR are pro-inflammatory or immunoregulatory cytokines and other proteins related to inflammation.However,many markers have been proved to be also able to predict other diseases and only a few of the markers for AR have been validated.Standard liver tests cannot be used as markers for graft rejection due to the low sensitivity and specificity.This review summarized the potential markers for AR and immune tolerance after liver transplantation based on published literatures in recent years and to provide evidence for clinical application.

Background Choroidal melanoma(CM)is a common form of primary ocular cancer in adults.It is reported that indomethacin has inhibitory effect on many tumor in vitro and in vivo,but whether it can inhibit the growth of CM has not been published. Objective This study was to investigate the anti-tumor activity of indomethacin on the growth of human CM OCM-1 cell xenografts in nude mice. Methods OCM-1 cells were subcutaneously implanted on 24 SPF female BALB/C.nu/nu nude mice to establish ectopic models of human CM.The nude mice with the tumor 5 mm were randomly divided into 4 groups:untreated group,normal saline solution(NS) group,indomethacin 1 ms/kg group,indomethacin 2 ms/kg group.The 1 mS/kg or 2 ms/kg indomethacin was intraperitoneally injected for 14 consecutive days in indomethacin 1 ms/kg group and indomethacin 2 me/kg group respectively.and 0.2 ml of 2%NS-DMSO was used at a same way in the NS group.No any agent was used as the untreated group.The volume and weight of implanted tumor as well as inhibitory rates of indomethaein on tumor were calculated.The expression of ki67 and survivin proteins were measured with immunohistochemistry,and the expression of survivin mRNA in CM was assessed by RT-PCR. ResuIts The tumor of indomethacin treatment group was reduced in volume and weight with a significant difference between treatment group and control group as well as indomethacin 1 ms/ks group and indomethacin 2 ms/kg group(P<0.05).The inhibitory rate of indomethacin 1 ms/kg and 2 ms/kg for tumor was 22.86%,48.00%respectively.The prolifiration index (PI)of ki67 in these 4 groups were (76.73±3.34)%,(73.30±2.95)%,(55.97±2.24)%,(32.87±2.91)%respectively,and significant difference was found in PI between indomethacin 2 mg/kg group and untreated group or NS group(P<0.05),but there was not significant difference between indomethacin 1 mg/kg and 2 ms/kg group(P>0.05).Compared with the control group,the indomethacin treatment groups showed the decreased expression of survivin protein and mRNA,and significant difference was found between indomethaein 2 ms/kg group and untreated group or NS group(P<0.05),however,no significant difference was found between indomethacin 1 mg/kg and 2 mg/kg group(P>0.05). Conclusion Indomethacin inhibits the growth of CM in nude mice through inhibiting the expression of survivin in the tumor and accelerating cell apoptosis and inhibiting tumor cell proliferation.
