Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are deifned as transcripts longer than 200 nt without coding capacities. Although they were initially argued to be transcriptional by-products of RNA polymeraseⅡ, recent evidence suggests that lncRNAs have been associated with a spectrum of biological processes, and aberrant lncRNA expression may be a major contributor to tumorigenesis, progression and prognosis. This study summarizes the up-to-date studies on lncRNAs in urological neoplasms.

Objective To compare the overall diagnostic accuracy of MRCP with EUS for the detection of choledocholithiasis and malignant obstruction in patients with suspected biliary obstruction.Methods A fully recursive literature search was conducted in The Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials CENTRAL,MEDLINE or PUBME (1980-2012),EMBASE (1980-2012),OVID Database (1980-2012),CBM (1980-2012),VIP database (1989-2012),Chinese journal of full-text database (CNKI) (1980-2012),and WANFANG database(1980-2012).The prospective diagnostic studies which evaluated or compared the diagnostic accuracy of MRCP and EUS were included combined with manual searches.We also searched the references of all included articles of important meetings and journals.QUA-DAS items were used to evaluate the quality of the included studies.SEN,SPE,+ LR,-LR and the areas under SROC were detected,then t-test was used to evaluate whether statistically significant difference existed between EUS and MRCP.Results Thirteen studies including 1200 cases were recruited.The overall pooled sensitivities of MRCP and EUS for the detection of choledocholithiasis were 0.870 (95％ CI:0.826-0.906)and 0.935 (95％ CI:0.90-0.96) respectively,whereas their specificities were 0.952 (95％ CI:0.926-0.971) and 0.947 (95％ CI:0.920-0.967),respectively.The overall pooled positive likelihood ratio for MRCP and EUS were 14.055 (95％ CI:6.259-31.561) and 16.653 (95％ CI:6.896-40.212),respectively,with the corresponding negative likelihood ratio of 0.177 (95％ CI:0.108-0.290) and 0.076 (95％ CI:0.049-0.118),respectively.Areas under the ROC curve were 0.9693 and 0.9771,respectively.There were no statistically significant difference for sensitivity (0.84 ± 0.16 vs 0.93 ± 0.07,P =0.108) and specificity (0.93 ±0.10 vs 0.90 ±0.15,P =0.555) between MRCP and EUS.The overall pooled sensitivities of EUS and MRCP for the detection of malignancy were 0.959 (95％ CI:0.908-0.987),and 0.805 (95％ CI:0.724-0.871),respectively,whereas their specificities were 0.975 (95％ CI:0.954-0.988) and 0.927 (95％ CI:0.897-0.951),respectively.The overall pooled positive likelihood ratio for EUS and MRCP were 23.398 (95％ CI:12.987-42.155) and 13.448 (95％ CI:4.961-36.456),respectively,with the corresponding negative likelihood ratio of 0.059 (95％ CI:0.028-0.122) and 0.134(95％ CI:0.046-0.391),respectively.Areas under the ROC curve were 0.9870 and 0.9686,respectively.There were no statistically significant differences for sensitivity (0.95 ± 0.55 vs 0.88 ± 0.14,P =0.22) and specificity (0.96 ±0.03 vs 0.91 ±0.11,P =0.31) between MRCP and EUS.Conclusion MRCP and EUS are both valuable in differential diagnosis of biliary obstruction caused by choledocholithiasis or malignant lesions.

Objective To summarize our experience in the management of stones impacted at cystic duct during laparoscopic cholecystectomy(LC). Methods There were 58 patients with stones impacted at cystic duct during LC from July 1997 to June 2001.Cystic duct was incised to remove stones first,then intraoperative cholangiography was performed.If stones were found in common bile duct,they would be taken out by intraoperative endoscopic sphincterotomy or open operation. Results All the impacted stones in 58 patients were removed successfully.51 coses underwent LC.Intraoperative cholangiography showed there were common bile duct stones in 7 cases.For these 7 coses,5 cases were treated by LC combined with intraoperative endoscopic sphincterotomy and other 2 cases were converted into open operation.No Severe complication occurred. Conclusions Nearly all cases with stones impacted at cystic duct can receive LC by removing impacted stones through incising the cystic duct and intraoperative cholangiography.If there are any stones in common bile duct,they can be removed by endoscopic sphincterotomy.

Objective To explore the application value of hysteroscopy in recurrent implantation failure ,and discuss what was the best time to transfer embryos after the operation .Methods The patients who had undergone two or more failed IVF-ET cycles were separated into two groups .The patients of group A ( n=210) received hysteroscopy , and the patients of group B ( n=71) did not receive hysteroscopy evaluation .Intrauterine lesions diagnosis were trea-ted during the procedure .Patients without intrauterine pathologies were given slight curettage .The recurrent IVF-ET were performed after the procedure .Then we analyzed the clinical pregnancy rate of the two groups and determined the best time to transfer embryos after the operation.Results In group A,57 patients were pregnant.In group B, 8 patients were pregnant .There was a significant difference in the clinical pregnancy rates between the two groups (χ2 =7.52,P<0.01).In the pregnant patients of group A ,about 94.7%were pregnant in 6 months after hysterosco-py.Conclusion The patients with recurrent IVF -ET transfer failure should be evaluated prior to commencing IVF-ET cycle to improve the clinical pregnancy rate .It is better to transfer embryos within 6 months after hysteroscopy operation.

Objective To compare the clinical effect of remifentanil and dexmedetomidine on controlled hypotension during endoscopic sinus surgery. Methods Forty patients undergoing endoscopic sinus surgery were randomly divided into group R and group D, 20 in each group. All patients received controlled hypotension when the surgeons began to sterilize the nasal cavity for the purpose of maintaining the MAP at 60 ~ 70 mmHg. Group R received remifentanil 1μg/kg over 1 minute, followed by 0.2 to 0.4μg/kg per minute infusion during maintenance, whereas group D received dexmedetomidine 1μg/kg over 10 minutes, followed by 0.2 to 0.7μg/kg per hour during maintenance. At the moment of pre-induction(T0), incision(T1), 30 min(T2) and 60 min(T3) after incision and 10 min(T4) after end of controlled hypotension, MAP and HR were measured. Quality of the surgical field, blood loss and extubation time were recorded. Sedation and postoperative pain were assessed on arrival at the PACU. Results The goals for the MAP level were achieved and the surgical field quality was ideal in both groups. The MAP and HR values at T1~ T3 were significantly lower than those at T0 in both groups (P < 0.05). There were no significant differences in the MAP or HR values between the groups at each time point (P>0.05). No significant difference was founded between the groups in the Fromme operative field score and blood loss (P > 0.05). The extubation time was significantly shorter in group R than in group D(P<0.05). The sedation score in the PACU was significantly lower in group R than in group D(P<0.05), while there were no significant differences in postoperative pain between the groups(P<0.05). Conclusion Both remifentanil and dexmedetomidine are safe agents for controlled hypotension and are effective in providing satisfactory surgical fields during endoscopic sinus surgery. However , remifentanil is advantageous in time for extubation and complete consciousness from anesthesia and therefore it may have the advantage of fast track anesthesia.

Objective To characterize the progression of segmental vitiligo.Methods Clinical data were collected using questionnaires from 387 patients with segmental vitiligo at the Department of Dermatology,Third People's Hospital of Hangzhou,between October 2011 and October 2012.The progression of segmental vitiligo was analyzed.Results Among the 387 patients,329 initially sufferred from focal vitiligo that evolved into segmental vitiligo later,58 began with segmental vitiligo.Vitiligo progressed most rapidly in the initial three months,and tended to be stable after three years in 220 (66.9％) of the 329 patients experiencing the evolution from focal to segmental vitiligo.By contrast,vitiligo developed most rapidly in the first month,and tended to be quiescent after one year in 40 (69.0％) of the 58 patients presenting with segmental vitiligo only.The condition still remained active in 27.6％ (107/387) of these patients after several years of progression.Totally,333 (86.0％) patients showed the involvement of single ganglion at the onset of vitiligo,including 173 (52.0％) patients with the involvement of trigeminal ganglion.Autologous melanocyte transplantation was conducted for 62 patients whose condition had been quiescent for more than one year,and 56 (90.3％) patients achieved more than 80％ repigmentation.Conclusions Segmental vitiligo,which tends to remain quiescent after three-year progression,seems to have a more rapid onset than focal vitiligo.Autologous melanocyte transplantation appears to be an effective treatment for segmental vitiligo in stable stage.

Objective To analyze the clinical features and evolution ot segmental vitiligo in children.Methods A standardized questionnaire was used to clinically investigate segmental vitiligo in 170 children aged ＜ or =12 years and 174 adults with an age of onset ＞ 18 years.Data analysis was done by the software SPSS16.0.Results The female to male ratio was 108:62 in the 170 child patients,significantly different from that in the adult patients (x2 =14.44,P ＜ 0.05).Localized vitiligo occurred as the initial presentation in 82.9％ (141/170) ofthe children and 76.4％ (133/174) of the adults,and progressed into segmental vitiligo in half a year in 76.5％ of the 141 children and 63.9％ of the 133 adults.Vitiligo entered the quiescent stage after half-a-year progression in 71.6％ of the children and 67.3％ of the adults with localized vitiligo as the initial presentation,and after one-month progression in 62.1％ of the children and 41.5％ of the adults with segmental vitiligo as the first presentation (x2 =8.39,P ＜ 0.01).Head and face were affected at the onset of segmental vitiligo in 44.1％ of the childhood cases and 56.9％ of the adult cases.Single nerve segments were involved at the onset in 94.7％ of the child patients and 86.8％ of the adult patients (x2 =0.04,P ＞ 0.05).The proportions of patients with white hairs,autoimmune diseases,and family history were significantly lower in the child patients than in the adult patients (x2 =15.88,5.62,6.66 respectively,all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Childhood-onset segmental vitiligo shows a predilection for males,usually presents as localized vitiligo at the onset,and becomes quiescent after half-a-year progression in more than 70％ of patients.

Objective To compare the clinical effectiveness of whole blood derived platelets and apheresis platelets in children with hematological diseases.Methods Children were divided into two groups: apheresis platelet group(463 children) and whole-blood-derived platelet group(155 children).The platelet corrected count increment(CCI),percentage platelet recovery(PPR),the incidence rate of post-transfusion refractoriness to platelets(PTR) and adverse reaction were observed and assayed at 24,48 and 72hours after transfusion.Results In the apheresis platelet group,CCI and PPR at 24,48,and 72 hours after transfusion were significantly higher(P

Objective To study the effect of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) and fructus psoraleae on the induction of vitiligo-like depigmentation by monobenzone in mice.Methods Forty C57BL/6 mice were included in this study.Hairs in an area measuring 2 cm × 2 cm in size were shaved on the back of each of these mice.Then,the mice were randomly and equally divided into four groups to be topically treated with vaseline cream (negative control group),monobenzone 40％ cream (model group),EGCG 5％ cream followed by monobenzone 40％ cream (EGCG group),fructus psoraleae 7％ cream followed by monobenzone 40％ cream (fructus psoraleae group),on the shaved area,respectively,for 50 consecutive days.Depigmentation of skin and hairs was observed daily by naked eyes for 15 days after drug withdrawal.At the end of the study,all the mice were sacrificed,and skin specimens were resected from the tested regions in them.Hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining was performed to observe lymphocyte infiltration,and immunofluorescence assay to estimate the frequency of CD8 + T cells.Results Depigmentation was observed in monobenzone-induced and-uninduced sites in the model group,and in monobenzone-induced sites in all the mice in the EGCG group and fructus psoraleae group,but in neither monobenzone-induced nor-uninduced sites ih the negative control group.The average time for the appearance of depigmentation at monobenzone-induced sites was 16.7,29.3 and 19.9 days in the model group,EGCG group and fructus psoraleae group respectively.The depigmentation area index at monobenzone-induced sites was 4.00 ± 0.00 in the model group,significantly different from that in the EGCG group and fructus psoraleae group (2.11 ± 0.54 and 2.84 ± 0.79,both P ＜ 0.05).Significant differences were also observed in depigmentation area index at monobenzone-induced sites among the model group,EGCG group and fructus psoraleae group (F =14.173,P ＜ 0.05),and at monobenzone-uninduced sites between fructus psoraleae group and EGCG group (P ＜ 0.05).The frequency (expressed as fluorescence intensity) of CD8+ T cells was significantly lower in the EGCG group and fructus psoraleae group than in the model group,and significantly different between EGCG group and fructus psoraleae group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Both EGCG and fructus psoraleae,especially EGCG,can interfere with the induction of vitiligo-like depigmentation of skin and hairs by monobenzone in mice.The mouse model of vitiligolike depigmentaion in this study shows higher similarity to human vitiligo.
