1.Mechanisms of action, resistance, and countermeasures of targeted therapy in advanced renal cell carcinoma
Chinese Journal of Clinical Oncology 2015;(24):1159-1162
With the increasingly deepening research on the molecular regulatory mechanisms during the development and progres-sion of advanced renal cell carcinoma, the targeted therapy directed on the key proteinase/protein in the molecular signaling pathways significantly improves the management outcomes. However, the occurring resistance during therapy with targeted agents leads to de-creasing effects. The mechanisms of action, resistance, and countermeasures of targeted therapy in advanced renal cell carcinoma are simply reviewed.

Objective To investigate the clinical and pathological features,diagnosis,differential diagnosis,treatment and prognosis of secondary Hodgkin's lymphoma of ureter.Methods We retrospectively analyzed one case with retroperitoneal Hodgkin's lymphoma involving right ureter.A 63-year-old male patient was referred to our hospital on January 22th,2013 with right hydronephrosis for 15 days,detected by abdominal color Doppler ultrasound due to constipation and difficult defecation without any urinary symptoms.Urinary CT scan revealed that there were dilation and hydrops of right pelvic and ureter in the middle and upper segment.The distal portion of ureteral wall was thick with a stenosis lumen.There was multiple larged lymph nodes surrounding the abdominal aorta.So,it was clinically diagnosed as right ureteral carcinoma with lymphadenopathy and right hydronephrosis.The patient was then performed ureteroscopic inspection under general anesthesia.There was too narrow to go through smoothly the proximal ureter when the ureteroscope ascended 15 cm.Then,the exploratory surgery of right ureter was subsequently undergone.During operation,periureteral nodular mass and thickened wall were seen in the distal segment of ureter.Then the ureter lesion was partially excised with 1 cm and fast frozen pathology was undergone during operation.The result suggested chronic inflammation of ureteral.A 6Fr double J stent was left in the ureter.Then,the ureter was closed by 3-0 monocryl suture.Results The final pathological diagnosis was retroperitoneal Hodgkin's lymphoma with the lymph node involving the right ureter.After 40 days,the patient manifested high fever,night sweat,general lymphoadenomegalies.So,the clinical stage was classified as stage Ⅱ EB and poor prognosis group.Then,the patient received regular chemotherapy according to the ABVD (pirarubicin 20 mg/m2,bleomycin 10 mg/m2,vinblastine 1.4 mg/m2,dacarbazine 375 mg/m2) regimen over 8 cycles.Finally the symptomatology and diagnostic reassessment (hemato-chemical examinations and PET/CT) showed a clinical complete recovery after the follow-up period of 3 months.The follow-up plan is ongoing.Conclusions Because secondary Hodgkin's lymphoma of ureter is rare with concealed onset feature,lacking of characteristic clinical manifestations,it is relatively difficult to achieve the diagnosis and differential diagnosis.Therefore,pathology and immunohistochemistry should be assigned to confirm the diagnosis.It is stressed that physicians should be aware of the possibility of malignant lymphoma when unexplained hydronephrosis and thickness of the ureteral wall are found clinically.Generally it has a good prognosis and combination therapy for the treatment is given priority to with chemotherapy.

TORCH, which is considered as a series of pathogens, including the Toxoplasma gondii, Rubella virus, Cytomegalovirus or Herpes simplex virus, often infects the pregnant women to induce the the fetus or newborn infection by transplacental infection or exposure to contaminated genital tract secretions at delivery. Increasing evidence have been confirmed that the infection of TORCH may cause the miscarriage, premature birth, malformed fetus, stillbirth, intrauterine growth retardation, neonatal multiple organ dysfunction and other adverse pregnancy outcomes. For most TORCH-infections cases may lacking the effective treatments during pregnancy, and it is important to achieve the effacing monitoring of TORCH infections before and during pregnancy. The laboratory testing of TORCH has the great significance. However, the consensus opinions still need to improve the the standardization of TORCH testing process and the correct interpretation. Based on the characteristics of the TORCH detection method, this article gives a consensus opinion on the standardized detection and clinical application of TORCH from the laboratory perspective according to the characteristics and types of infection of different pathogens.

During coronavirus disease 2019 epidemic, the treatment of severe trauma has been impacted. The Consensus on emergency surgery and infection prevention and control for severe trauma patients with 2019 novel corona virus pneumonia was published online on February 12, 2020, providing a strong guidance for the emergency treatment of severe trauma and the self-protection of medical staffs in the early stage of the epidemic. With the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council renaming "novel coronavirus pneumonia" to "novel coronavirus infection" and the infection being managed with measures against class B infectious diseases since January 8, 2023, the consensus published in 2020 is no longer applicable to the emergency treatment of severe trauma in the new stage of epidemic prevention and control. In this context, led by the Chinese Traumatology Association, Chinese Trauma Surgeon Association, Trauma Medicine Branch of Chinese International Exchange and Promotive Association for Medical and Health Care, and Editorial Board of Chinese Journal of Traumatology, the Chinese expert consensus on emergency surgery for severe trauma and infection prevention during coronavirus disease 2019 epidemic ( version 2023) is formulated to ensure the effectiveness and safety in the treatment of severe trauma in the new stage. Based on the policy of the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council and by using evidence-based medical evidence as well as Delphi expert consultation and voting, 16 recommendations are put forward from the four aspects of the related definitions, infection prevention, preoperative assessment and preparation, emergency operation and postoperative management, hoping to provide a reference for severe trauma care in the new stage of the epidemic prevention and control.
