The numbers of nucleolar organizer region (AgNOR) were counted by one-step silver colloid technique in 6 cases of normal bladder tissue, 9 chronic cystitis and 56 transitional cell carcinoma of bladder. The results revealed that the mean number of AgNOR per nucleus was not statistically different between normal bladder tissue and chronic cystitis while a significant difference was observed between normal, or inflammatory tissue and malignant tissue or between various grades of bladder tumor. The results also indicated that the mean number of AgNOR per nucleus was closely related to the prognosis of bladder tumor. So it is suggested that the AgNOR counting with silver stain technique may play a role in the differentiation of benign and malignant lesions and in the grading and prognosis of bladder tumors.

Genomic DNA from 17 primary human tcsticular seminomas was screend for the presence of mutations in exon 5 - 8 of P53 gene, using the single strand conformation polymorphism assay, followed by direct DNA sequencing. P53 mutations in one alle'e leading to an amino acid change were identified in 4 of 17 seminomas. Sites of mutations were in exon 5(codon 141), exon 7 (codon 238, codon 258) and exon 8(codon 279). The present study suggests that mutation of P53 gene is involved in the development of human testicular seminoma.

Objective To evaluate the charateristics of biliary stricture after orthotopic liver transplantation(OLT) by ultrasound. Methods Diametes,thickness,characteristic echo of bile were observed by ultrasound in 41 patients with biliary stricture after OLT,and the results were compared with those of 46 patients without biliary complication after OLT.Results The diameter of intrahepatic bile,thickness of bile,incidence of intrahepatic bile dilation or hyperechogenicity in biliary stricture patiens were higher than those in patients without biliary complication,there were significant differences between two groups(P<0.05).Conclusions The series of ultrasonographic character such as bile dilation,thickeness or hyperechogenicity of biliary wall,thin of bile duct are available to diagnose biliary stricture.

Objective To investigate the association between the RoSCo scoring system and the postopera tive complications of laparoscopic partial nephrectomy.Methods The clinical data of 127 patients with laparoscopic partial nephrectomy in our hospital from 2010 to 2015 were retrospectively analyzed.By studying all patients' preoperative clinical data,we give all the patients the RoSCo score,then divided all the patients into the RoSCo low group (3-4),RoSCo moderate group (5-6),RoSCo high group (7-8).Respectively study the association between the RoSCo score and Clavein score,operative time,intraoperative blood loss,warm ischemia time and length of hospital stay after laparoscopic partial nephrectomy.Results The RoSCo score was associated with postoperative complications of laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (P < 0.05) and was more accurate than the RENAL score alone.There were significant differences in bleeding,warm ischemia time,hospital stay and operation time between the low,middle and high groups of RoSCo (P < 0.05).Conclusion The RoSCo scoring system can be used to assess the complications of laparoscopic partial nephrectomy.

Objective To explore the value of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in the differential diagnosis of subserous myoma (SM) and ovarian fibroma.Methods CEUS was performed on 58 patients with SM and 26 patients with ovarian fibroma.The enhancement pattern was observed.The diagnostic performance was evaluated by using diagnostic test.Results SM exhibited homogeneous isoenhancement synchronously with the myometrium in early phase.In the late phase,the pseudocapsule remained hyper-enhancement with obvious membraniform sign.Some myomas showed the feeding artery from uterus.Ovarian fibroma demonstrated hyper-enhancement at the periphery portion and hypoenhancement inside.Conclusions The SM and ovarian myomas showed different enhancement patterns,which may provide us some exact information in the differential diagnosis between the two diseases.

ObjectiveTo assess the diagnostic performance of contrast-enhanced ultrasound(CEUS)in characterization of adnexal masses in comparison with baseline ultrasound.MethodsOne hundred and thirty-seven masses were examined by CEUS and baseline ultrasound.Two independent investigators reviewed the images before and after contrast agent administration.The diagnostic performances were evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis and the interobserver agreement was analyzed.ResultsAfter review of CEUS,ROC analysis revealed significant improvement in differentiating between malignant and benign pelvic masses that the areas under the ROC curve were 0.731 and 0.738 at baseline ultrasound versus 0.891 and 0.903 at CEUS ( P <0.01 ).The accuracy for both investigators also improved significantly after reviewing CEUS.A better interobserver agreement was achieved after reviewing of CEUS (g =0.681 at baseline ultrasound versus κ =0.893 at CEUS) and a better result of specific diagnosis was obtained (73.2% and 74.2% at baseline ultrasound versus 90.7% and 91.2% at CEUS)(all P < 0.01 ).Conclusions Real-time CEUS improves the diagnostic performance in adnexal masses for discrimination between malignancy and benignity and improves the capability in specific diagnosis compared with baseline ultrasound.
