Objective:To investigate the effect of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) on glucose and lipid metabolism during pregnancy.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed in women who gave birth in Minhang Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University from January 2013 to June 2020. The data on demographic, clinical examination, and delivery were obtained via electronic medical record abstraction. According to the ultrasound imaging, all pregnant women were divided into NAFLD group and control group. The difference of glucose and lipid metabolism indexes, incidence of gestational diabetes mellitus, and gestational hypertension between two groups were compared. Logistic regression model was used to examine potential associations between NAFLD and metabolic related adverse pregnancy outcomes.Results:A total of 14 708 pregnant women with a mean age of (29.1±4.7) years and a mean body mass index of (21.0±2.8) kg/m 2 were included in our study. Of those eligible women, 554 (3.8%) were confirmed by ultrasound as NAFLD. Pregnant women with NAFLD presented higher circulating levels of fasting glucose [(4.2±0.5)mmol/L vs (4.1±0.5)mmol/L, P<0.01], 1 h plasma glucose [(7.4±1.7)mmol/L vs (6.6±1.6)mmol/L, P<0.01] and 2 h plasma glucose [(6.2±1.4)mmol/L vs (5.7±1.3)mmol/L, P<0.01] after glucose loading, HbA 1C [(5.2±0.4)% vs (5.1±0.5)%, P<0.01], triglyceride [(2.1±1.1)mmol/L vs (1.6±0.7)mmol/L, P<0.01], total cholesterol [(4.8±0.8)mmol/L vs (4.7±0.9)mmol/L, P<0.01], low density lipoprotein-cholesterol [(2.6±0.7)mmol/L vs (2.5±0.7)mmol/L, P<0.01], uric acid [(224.1±51.8)μmol/L vs (203.0±45.9)μmol/L, P<0.01] level. After adjusting for potential confounders, NAFLD significantly increased the risk of gestational diabetes mellitus ( OR=1.722, 95% CI 1.079-2.747, P=0.023) and gestational hypertension ( OR=3.845, 95% CI 2.247-6.582, P<0.001). Conclusions:Compared to non NAFLD, women with a diagnosis of NAFLD had more significant glucose and lipid metablic aberrations during pregnancy and increased incidence of gestational diabetes and gestational hypertension. Pregnant women with NAFLD should be closely monitored on glucose and lipid metabolism and blood pressure to prevent gestational diabetes mellitus and hypertension.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of sunitinib in the treatment of metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Methods A total of 37 patients with metastatic RCC were treated with between June 2008 and April 2010, including 28 males and 9 females. The median age was 52 (17-74) years. All patients received a pathologic diagnosis of RCC, which consisted of 1 papillary cell carcinoma and 36 clear cell carcinomas, 4 of which accompanied with partial sarcoma differentiation. Thirty cases were treated with first line therapy and 7 cases showed progression on first-line cytokine or sorafinib therapy. Sunitinib monotherapy was administered in repeated 6-week cycles of daily oral therapy for 4 weeks, followed by 2 weeks off in 34 patients, while another 3 patients received 37. 5 mg Qd continuously until disease progression or unacceptable toxicities occurred. Overall response rate and safety were evaluated. Results The median follow up was 12 months (8 cycles),range 1.5-19. 5 months (1-13 cycles). 26.5% (9/34) patients achieved partial responses, 70.6%(24/34) patients demonstrated stable disease over≥3 months and 1 (2. 9%) patient developed progressive disease. The objective response rate was 26.5%, and the disease control rate was 97. 1%.The 12 months' overall survival rate was 95.8% (23/24), and 12 months' progression-free survival rate was 62.5 % (15/24). The most common treatment-related adverse events were thrombocytopenia (30 cases, 81.1%), thyroid dysfunction (18/22, 81.8%) ,hand-foot syndrome (27 cases, 73.0%),neutropenia (23 cases, 62.2%) and hypertension (18 cases, 48.6%). The major grade 3 adverse events included thrombocytopenia (8 cases, 21.6%), hand-foot syndrome (4 cases, 10.8%) and diarrhea (2 cases, 5. 4%). Most adverse events were ameliorated by treatment interruption. Ten (27.0%) patients had dose decrement or drug discontinuation and 1 patient quit the treatment for intolerable fatigue. Conclusion The efficacy and manageable adverse event profile of sunitinib as a single agent in first- or second-line therapy for patients with metastatic RCC.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the safety and efficacy of "ring suture technique" during partial nephrectomy in the management of renal cell cancer located in renal hilar.
METHODSThe data of 31 patients with renal cell cancer located in renal hilar who underwent partial nephrectomy from January 2009 to January 2014 in Peking University First Hospital were collected. Of the 31 patients, 21 were male, 10 were female ranging from 48 to 75 years (average age of (58±13) years). "Ring suture technique" was adopted in all the operation which were performed following the same steps: a ureteral catheter was placed into ipsilateral ureter pre-operatively; renal artery was clamped first and after 30 s renal vein was also clamped; tumor was resected from kidney; the edge of renal parenchyma was sutured continuously; methylthioninium Chloride solution was injected into pelvis retrograde through the ureteral catheter, and the collecting system was repaired if needed; remove renal vein clamp and then the renal artery, repair any injury of the vascular when necessary. The renal ischemic time, blood loss and postoperative complications were analyzed retrospectively.
RESULTSRetroperitoneal laparoscopic surgery and laparotomy were performed in 14 patients and 17 patients each. Average maximum diameter of tumor was (3.3±1.2) cm, and median R.E.N.A.L.nephrometry score was 8 (7-11). Average ischemic time was (24±8) minutes (18.4-37.5 minutes). Median blood loss during operation was 130 ml (90-350 ml), average blood loss was (125±45) ml, and there was no uncontrollable massive bleeding. Radical nephrectomy was adopted in 1 case due to tumor embolus in branch of renal vein. All patients had good recovery after surgery without complications such as hemorrhage, urine leakage or renal atrophy during the first 3 months after surgery.
CONCLUSIONRing suture technique is a safe and effective method in the management of renal hilar cancer during partial nephrectomy.

Objective To investigate the effects of acute reserpine-induced pain and depression co-morbidity model on behavior and related inflammatory cytokines in rats. Methods Twelve male 8-week-old SD rats were randomly divided into control group and model group,6 in each group. Rats in the model group were intraperitoneally injected with reserpine(1 mg/kg/d)for 3 days to establish the model. Rats in the con-trol group were injected with the same amount of distilled water. The pain threshold of rats was measured by Von Frey Hairs and Hot Plate Analgesia Test. The depression behavior of rats was evaluated by open-field test,Forced Swimming Test and Sucrose Consumption Test. Serum IL-1β, IL-6, IL-18 and TNF-α content were detected by ELISA. Results Compared with the control group(1d (15. 00±0. 00) g;3d ( 13. 20±4. 03)g),the PWTs of the model group (1d (6. 20±0. 45) g;3d (4. 20±1. 64) g) decreased significantly(t=44. 00,4. 63,both P<0. 05). Compared with the control group (( 8. 82 ± 1. 08) s),the PWTL (( 3. 16 ± 0. 24)s) was significantly reduced on the first day in model group,and the difference was statistically signifi-cant (t=11. 48,P<0. 05). Compared with the control group (( 1 815. 18± 541. 40) cm,(98. 20± 26. 25) s, (87. 78±9. 38)g),the total distance of the open-field test ((948. 91±494. 35)cm)significantly shortened (t=2. 64,P<0. 05),swimming time ((143. 60±21. 45)s) was significantly prolonged (t=-2. 65,P<0. 05), and the sucrose consumption (( 22. 23 ± 6. 97) g) significantly decreased (t=12. 55,P<0. 05) in model group. Compared with the control group (( 285. 80 ± 11. 93) ng/ml, ( 233. 07 ± 8. 47) ng/ml,( 280. 41 ± 14. 31) ng/ml,( 213. 10 ± 33. 87) ng/ml), serum levels of IL-1β, IL-6, IL-18, TNF-α in model group ((471. 23±24. 15) ng/ml,(364. 82±17. 16) ng/ml,(471. 81± 28. 98) ng/ml,(821. 19±93. 16) ng/ml) increased significantly(F=-15. 39,-15. 39,-13. 24,-13. 72,all P<0. 05). Conclusion A large number of intraperitoneal injections of acute reserpine can cause hyperalgesia,depressive behavior and serum inflamma-tory factors in rats,effectively simulating the symptoms of pain and depression,and can be used as a model of pain and depression comorbidity for biological mechanisms and treatment research.
