Objective To study the effect of urodynamic factors on the urinary retention of the patients with cervical cancer received radical hysterectomy. Methods Seventy-two patients with cervical cancer Ininternational Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage Ⅰ bl to Ⅱ a hospitalized in Fujian Provincial Maternity and Child Health Hospital between June 2006 and August 2009, who were not found any abnormal representation of urodynamics before the operation, were divided into the group with urinary retention and the group without urinary retention based on whether urinary retention after the operation. All patients were detected by urodynamic examination following radical hysterectomy. Data obtained from urodynamic examination were analysed by logistic regression to evaluate the influence of urodynamic factors on the urinary retention postoperation. Results Twenty-one patients out of all were found with urinary retention after the operation , the incidence rate of urinary retention was 29%. The first sensation after operation in both groups were increased significantly than those before operation[ ( 171 ±61 )ml vs.(126 ±28)ml, (134±39)ml vs. (119 ± 17)ml,all P<0.05], while the maximum volume[ (337 ±66) and (300 ±66)ml, respectively], the compliance[ (31 ±25) and (29 ± 18) ml/cm H2O (1 cm H2O =0. 098 kPa), respectively], the maximum flow rate[ (10 ±4) and (12 ±5) ml/s, respectively] and the pressure at the maximum flow rate [ (27 ±9) and (32 ±8) cm H2O, respectively] were decreased obviously after radical hysterectomy in both the group with urinary retention and the group without urinary retention ( all P <0.05), compared with the corresponding value before the operation. The urodynamic changes in urinary retention group was much more severe than those in group without urinary retention ( P < 0. 05 ). The single factor analysis results showed that bladder destusor dysfunction ( OR = 8. 20, 95% CI: 2.62 - 25. 66, P <0. 01 ) and lack of sensation ( OR = 6. 90, 95% CI: 1.95 - 24. 43, P < 0. 01 ) were relevant to the urinary retention post-operation. While there were not relationship was found between low compliance bladder( OR =1.99, 95% CI:0. 70 - 5.63, P = 0. 195 ), detrusor overactivity ( OR = 2. 51, 95% CI: 0. 73 - 8.67, P =0. 144), bladder outlet obstruction ( OR = 3.77, 95% CI: 0. 76 - 18. 57, P = 0. 104 ) or dyssynergia of urethral external sphincter( OR =2. 67, 95% CI:0. 49- 14. 45, P =0. 255 ) and urinary retention following the operation. There were an antagonistic effects ( OR = 7.60, 95% CI: 1.43 - 40. 39, P = 0. 017 ) of detrusor overactivity and bladder destrusor dysfunction on urinary retention. The multiple factors analysis results revealed that bladder destusor dysfunction( OR = 7.01, P < 0. 01 ) and lack of sensation( OR = 5.45, P =0. 018)were the independent risk factors influening on the urinary retention post-operation. Conclusions There are obvious urodynamic change in cervical cancer patients following radical hysterectomy. Bladder destrusor dysfunction and lack of sensation are the independent urodynamic risk factors influencing on urinary retention following radical hysterectomy, while detrusor over activity may be a protective effect on bladder destrusor dysfunction post-operation in some degree. Urodynamic test is important for analysis and treatment of urinary retention following radical hysterectomy.

OBJECTIVE:
To study the correlation between the stromal cell-derived factor (SDF-1) and the receptor fusin (CXCR4) in carcinoma of larynx, and investigate some mechanisms of SDF-1/CXCR4 during the development, invasion and lymph node metastasis of laryngocarcinoma.
METHOD:
Detecting the expression of SDF-1 and CXCR4 by immunohistochemical method (SP) in laryngocarcinoma, paraneoplastic tissues, normal laryngeal mucosa and cervical lymph node. Using Kruskal-Wallis H test, chi2 test, Spearman rank correlation analysis and so on to do statistical analysis.
RESULT:
The positive expression rate of SDF-1 and CXCR4 in laryngocarcinoma was obviously higher than in paraneoplastic tissues and normal laryngeal mucosa tissues (P < 0.01). And the expression of two proteins was correlated with lymph node metastasis (P < 0.01), clinical stage (P < 0.01) and pathological grading of tumor (P < 0.05). The positive expression rate of SDF-1 and CXCR4 protein in metastasis lymph node tissue was higher than that in non metastasis lymph node tissue (P < 0.01). The expression of SDF-1 is correlated positively with the expression of CXCR4 in laryngocarcinoma.
CONCLUSION
SDF-1 and CXCR4 protein are highly expressed in laryngocarcinoma and in metastasis lymph node tissue. And they are correlated with lymph node metastasis, clinical stage and pathological grading of the tumor. According to the results, the two proteins may relate to infiltration and metastasis of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma and play a role of synergistic action in the development and invasion of carcinoma of larynx.

Objective:To summarize and analyze the clinical phenotype and genotype characteristics of atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) in Chinese children.Methods:It was a retrospective study. The clinical data and genetic results of 6 children with aHUS admitted to Children's Hospital Affiliated to Capital Institute of Pediatrics from May 2016 to October 2022 were analyzed, and literature on Chinese aHUS children with genetic screening data by searching databases such as Wanfang, CNKI, and PubMed were reviewed and summarized. Through literature search, the children with aHUS were divided into genetic variation group and non-genetic variation group according to the results of genetic testing, and the differences of clinical phenotype, laboratory examination, follow-up and outcomes were compared between the two groups. Logistic regression method was used to analyze the risk difference of disease recurrence, end-stage kidney disease and death between genetic variation group and non-genetic variation group.Results:Among the 6 aHUS children in this center, there were 1 male and 5 females, with onset age of 7 months to 10 years old. Four patients had gene variations, including 1 patient of complement factor H ( CFH) gene variation, 1 patient of C3 gene variation, and 2 patients of CFHR1 combined with CFHR3 gene variation. Six children had gross hematuria, proteinuria, hypertension and decreased complement C3. The mean values of serum creatinine in 4 genetic variation and 2 non-genetic variation children were 153.9 μmol/L and 214.3 μmol/L, respectively; the mean values of estimated glomerular filtration rate were 26.4 ml·min -1·(1.73 m 2) -1 and 28.9 ml·min -1·(1.73 m 2) -1, respectively; the mean values of hemoglobin were 81 g/L and 57 g/L; the mean values of platelet were 46×10 9/L and 71×10 9/L; the mean values of lactic dehydrogenase were 2 408 U/L and 2 106 U/L, respectively; there were 1 and 2 cases of positive CFH antibody, and 1 and 1 case of nervous system complication, respectively. Ninety-seven aHUS children were retrieved including the reported 6 cases in this center, with 60 males and 37 females, and median onset age of 5 years old. The positive detection rate of genetic variation was 58.8% (57/97). The main type of genetic variation was CFHR gene variation (43.9%, 25/57), followed by CFH gene variation (33.3%, 19/57).There was no significant difference in onset age, sex distribution, proportions of gross hematuria, massive proteinuria, hypertension, complement C3 decline, positive CFH antibody and treatment method, platelet, and lactic dehydrogenase between genetic variation group and non-genetic variation group (all P>0.05). Compared with the genetic variation group, non-genetic variation group had higher serum creatinine ( Z=2.311, P=0.021) and lower hemoglobin ( Z=-2.636, P=0.008). The median follow-up time in genetic variation group and non-genetic variation group was 1 year and 2 years, respectively. The proportions of non-remission and recurrence in the genetic variation group were significantly higher than those in non-genetic variation group ( χ2=12.016, P=0.002; χ2=4.689, P=0.030). Logistic regression analysis showed that the recurrence risk of aHUS in children with genetic mutations was higher than that in children with non-genetic mutations ( OR=2.807, 95% CI 1.014-7.772). Conclusions:The main type of aHUS gene variation in Chinese children is CFHR gene variation, and the children with gene variation have poor prognosis and a higher risk of recurrence.
