Cancer Research and Clinic 2006;0(11):-
Being the common tumor forms,prostate cancer,its incidence is ascending year after year.Although surgery is the key treatment means in local prostate cancer, but the complications and mortality rate are frequently observed. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy, the traditional measures in prostate cancer treatment,are limited by the indication and relatively lower curative effect. So, needs to look for effective microinvasion treatments. As the new technique of microinvasion, high intensity focused ultrasound-HIFU, is remarkerablely noticed by people, in this paper, the mechanism,equipment, clinical effect and limitation were summarized.

Objective To investigate the relationship between serum homocysteine (Hcy) and large artery atherosclerosis (LAA).Medods The consecutive stroke patients with LAA and small artery occlusion (SAO) were enrolled.The demographics,baseline clinical data,and laboratory test results were compared.Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify the independent risk factors for LAA.Spearman correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between serum Hcy concentration and carotid plaque scores.Results A total of 117 patients with LAA and SAO were enrolled,42 were in the LAA group and 75 were in the SAO group.The plasma Hcy levels (median [interquartile range] 15.35 [12.20-20.43] μmol/Lvs.12.40 [10.40-15.00] μmoFL; Z=-2.540,P=0.011),the carotid plaque scores (6.30 ±4.11 mm vs.4.19 ±2.84 mm; t =2.952,P=0.004),and the proportion of plasma Hcy level at tertile groups of the patients (x2 =10.697,P =0.005) of the LAA plasma group were all significantly higher than those of the SAO group.Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the plasma Hcy concentration was in the third tertile (> 15.3 μmol/L),and it was an independent risk factor for LAA (odds ratio 4.739,95% confidence interval 1.696-13.241; P =0.003).Moreover,there was a significant positive correlation between the serum Hcy concentration and the carotid plaque scores (r =0.245,P =0.008).Conclusions The plasma Hcy levels were positively correlated with the severity of carotid atherosclerosis.The Hcy > 15.3 μmol/L was an independent risk factor for LAA.

Objective To evaluate the short-term efficacy of Perigee system in the treatment of anterior pelvic organ prolapse. Methods From October 2012 to September 2014, 59 patients with pelvic organ prolapse, pelvic organ prolapse quantitation system (POP-Q) were diagnosed as anterior pelvic organ prolapse Ⅲ degree and above were performed Perigee anterior pelvic floor reconstruction, while some patients combined with sacrospinous ligament suspension, posterior wall repair or posterior pelvic reconstruction surgery for pelvic prolapses. Pelvic floor distress inventory-short form 20 (PFDI-20), pelvic organ prolapse-urinary incontinence sexual questionnaire-12 (PISQ-12) were evaluated, and postoperative POP-Q were used to analyze the changes of the indexes and postoperative complications. Results In 59 patients, the average operation time was (99±29) minutes, the average intraoperative blood loss was (119± 92) ml. The median postoperative follow-up time of 59 cases was 17.5 months (range:8-30 months), median follow-up time of subjuctive symptoms was 21.2 months (range:11-34 months), the total score of PFDI-20 was compared with the preoperative, and the difference was statistically significant (5.6 versus 27.8, P<0.01). It was statistically significant of PISQ-12 score before and after surgery (34±3 versus 36±4, P<0.05). Short-term anatomical cure rate was 98%(58/59), 1 cases (2%, 1/59) in recurrence, 2 cases (3%, 2/59) of erosion. Conclusion This results show that the Perigee system is effective and reliable in the treatment of anterior pelvic organ prolapse.

Background Diabetes is one of the risk factors that leads to corneal neuropathy.Silent signal regulatory factor 1 (Sirt1) plays an important role in glucose metabolism,lipid metabolism,regulation of insulin secretion and is closely related to the nervous system disease.The relationship between Sirt1 and diabetic corneal neuropathy is not fully understood.Objective This study was to detect the expression of Sirtl in cornea and trigeminal ganglion with type 1 diabetes model mice and explore the association of Sirt1 expression with diabetic corneal neuropathy.Methods Eight C57BL/6-Ins2Akita/J male mice and eight wild-type C57BL/6 male mice in the same litter were selected as type 1 diabetes model group and control group,respectively.The mice of two groups were sacrificed in overdose anesthesia method at 12-month old.Histological examination of cornea and trigeminal ganglion was performed using hematoxylin and eosin staining.Expression and localization of Sift1 protein in cornea and trigeminal ganglion were detected using immunohistochemistry.Western blot assay and fluorescine quantitative PCR were respectively used to quantitatively analyze the expression of Sirt1 protein and Sirt1 mRNA.Results Trigeminal ganglion cells were uneven in size and shape with the loosened cellular arrangement and disorder neurofibrosis alignment,and the corneal epithelial cells were less in the C57BL/6-Ins2Akita/J mice,but the trigeminal ganglion cells and corneal epithelial cells were normal in wild-type C57BL/6 mice.Immunochemisty exhibited that Sirtl protein was expressed mainly in corneal epithelium and the expression of Sirtl protein was stronger in the C57BL/6 mice than that in C57BL/6-Ins2Akita/J mice.Fluorescine quantitative PCR assay showed that the gray scale value of Sirt1 mRNA in cornea in C57BL/6-Ins2Akita/J mice was lower than that of the wild-type C57BL/6 mice(0.56±0.03 vs.0.98±0.13) with significant difference (t =5.853,P =0.010).Western blot showed that the expression of Sirt1 protein in cornea was lower in C57BL/6-Ins2Akita/J mice than that of the wild-type C57BL/6 mice(0.78±0.017 vs.1.300±0.012) with significant difference(t =33.140,P =0.001).However,no significant differences were seen in the gray scale value of Sirt1 mRNA(2.45±0.18 vs.2.51±0.22) (t=0.587,P=0.599) and protein level(1.100±0.015 vs.1.110±0.017) (t =0.430,P=0.709) in trigeminal ganglion tissues between C57BL/6-Ins2Akita/J mice and wide-type C57BL/6 mice.Conclusions The corneal nerve and structure is abnormal in 12-month-old C57BL/6-Ins2Akita/J mouse.Sirt1 is involved in the pathogenesis of diabetic keratoneuropathy,suggesting that it may be a potential target.
