Objective To discuss the diagnosis,therapy and prognosis of primary ureter transitional cell carcinoma with low stage and grade.Methods Retrospective review of 18 cases surgery to treat the primary ureter carcinoma of G1-2 Ta-2 was carried out.There were 12 males and 6 females with the mean age of 67 years.Of the 18 cases with the size of tumor were from 0.5 to 1.5 cm.13 cases had the tumors on the left and 5 cases on the right.The tumors were located at middle parts of the ureter in 3 cases,and at the lower part in 15 cases.The course of the disease was from 5 days to 3 months.10 cases had gross hematuria and 8 cases renal hydronephrosis were found incidentally by B-ultrasound.B-ultrasound was performed in all cases.15 cases were indicated pyelic separation from 1.0-1.5 cm and ureteral separation from 0.8-1.0 cm.8 cases were indicated the low-echo space-occupying disease of ureter.IVU indicated mild hydronephrosis in 12 cases of 15 cases,of whom 5 cases were demonstrated a filling defect.CT indicated the mass of ureter in 10 cases of 15 cases.Cystoscope were performed in 18 cases,of whom 5 cases were found the tumor in the ureter-bladder cuff.Retrograde pyelogram showed filling defect of the diseased ureter in 10 of 11 cases(2 cases had failure of intubation).4 cases ureteroscopy with biopsy were used and demonstrated the diagnosis.Results 8 cases were treated surgically of radical nephroureterectomy with a bladder cuff excision.7 cases were performed ureteral segmental resection,of which 2 cases anastomosis and 5 cases ureterocystostomy with bladder cuff excision.3 cases tumors were resected by ureteroscopy postoperative pathological findings confirmed the diagnosis of transitional cell carcinoma.Pathological staging showed Ta(1 case);T1 (8),T2(9),and grading showed G1(8);G2(10).16 cases(88.9%)were followed up form 6-132 months.The overall 5-year survival rate was 87.5%.Of the 25% patient showed bladder recurrence in post-operation 6-24 months.2 cases died of tumor recurrence and metastasis in post-operation 36-48 months.Conclusions The primary transitional cell carcinoma of ureter was uncommon and has poor prognosis.Ureter carcinoma with lower stage and grade might have better prognosis.Kidney-sparing surgery is a feasible treatment option in patients with lower stage and grade.The long-term follow up is meticulous.
4.Research advances in anticoagulant therapy for liver fibrosis
Journal of Clinical Hepatology 2018;34(10):2224-2226
Liver fibrosis is a pathological process in which chronic liver disease develops into liver cirrhosis. It is caused by diffuse proliferation of liver fibrous tissue on the basis of extensive necrosis of liver cells, resulting in destruction of the normal structure and blood supply of liver lobules. In the process of liver fibrosis, platelets aggregate in the sinusoids to form microthrombi, which may promote liver fibrosis. This article briefly describes the relationship between platelets and liver fibrosis and reviews the latest advances in anticoagulant therapy for improving liver function and liver fibrosis score. The molecular mechanism of anticoagulant therapy remains to be studied, and safe and effective anticoagulants may provide a new approach for the treatment of liver fibrosis.

Objective:To investigate the feasibility and safety of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided intrahepatic portal vein puncture through jugular vein implantation in transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS).Methods:As research subjects, 5 beagle dogs were anesthetized, and EUS was placed through the jugular vein to observe the intrahepatic portal vein. Under real-time guidance, the portal vein was punctured and a stent was placed to complete the TIPS.Results:Among the 5 beagles, EUS was unable to be placed in 1 due to the small diameter of the external jugular vein, and it was implanted successfully in 4 others through the external jugular vein who underwent real-time guidance of portal vein puncture. Subsequent stent placement and balloon dilation were completed. All animals survived after the experiment.Conclusion:EUS-guided intrahepatic portal vein puncture through jugular vein implantation is safe and feasible in TIPS.

ObjectiveTo investigate the efficacy of percutaneous transhepatic variceal embolization (PTVE) alone or in combination with partial splenic embolization (PSE) in the treatment of portal hypertensive hemorrhage in liver cirrhosis through a meta-analysis. MethodsThis study was conducted according to PRISMA guideline, with a PROSPERO registration number of CRD42023396690. Wanfang Med Online, CNKI, CBM, VIP Databases, PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, and Web of Science databases were searched for articles on PTVE alone or in combination with PSE in the treatment of portal hypertensive hemorrhage in liver cirrhosis published up to December 23, 2022. The articles were selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, and related data were extracted. The RevMan 5.4.1 statistical analysis software was used to perform the meta-analysis. ResultsEight articles were finally included, with a total sample size of 592 cases, among which there were 316 cases in the PTVE+PSE group and 276 cases in the PTVE group. The meta-analysis showed that compared with the PTVE group, the PTVE+PSE group had significantly lower postoperative portal vein pressure (standardized mean difference [SMD]=-1.75, 95% confidence interval [CI]: -2.33 to -1.16, P<0.05), postoperative diameter of the portal vein (SMD=-0.87, 95%CI: -1.64 to -0.10, P<0.05), postoperative rebleeding rate (odds ratio [OR]=0.17, 95%CI: 0.11 — 0.28, P<0.05), mortality rate (OR=0.13, 95%CI: 0.04 — 0.37, P<0.05), and incidence rate of postoperative portal hypertensive gastrointestinal disease (OR=0.17, 95%CI: 0.07 — 0.45, P<0.05], as well as a significantly higher postoperative platelet level (SMD=0.79, 95%CI: 0.52 — 1.06, P<0.05), while there were no significant differences between the two groups in the incidence rates of postoperative ascites. ConclusionCompared with PTVE alone, PTVE combined with PSE can effectively reduce the rebleeding rate and mortality rate of portal hypertensive hemorrhage in liver cirrhosis, the incidence rate of portal hypertensive gastrointestinal disease, and portal vein pressure, and it can also shorten the diameter of the portal vein and increase platelet level. Therefore, it is an effective interventional method for the treatment of portal hypertension hemorrhage in liver cirrhosis.
