Objective To explore the clinical diagnostic and therapeutic characteristics,prognostic factors of pailents with primary clear cell carcinoma of the cervix.Methods The clinical,pathologic and follow-up data of patients with primary clear cell carcinoma of the cervix treated in our hospital from Jan 2003 to Dec 2006 were collected and analyzed retrospectively.The relative literature was reviewed.ResultsFive patients with primary clear cell carcinoma of the cervix were treated(1 case stage Ⅰ b1,2 of stage Ⅰ b2,1of stage Ⅱ a,1 of stage Ⅳa).The mean age was 40.2 years(32 to 50 years).The primary symptom was mostly irregularly vaginal bleeding(3/5)and clinical type was predominantly(4/5)endophytie growth.The positive rate of cervical cytologic examination was 2/4,the negative rate of cervical human papillomavirus(HPV)DNA examination was 4/4.Serum CA125 level was abnormal(62.5 to 592.1 kU/L)before operation and when relapse occurred,and returned to normal after operation.All of five patients underwent operation,pathologic examination showed that three patients with infihration in deep 1/2 myomctrium of cervix,and two patients with infiltration in cervix-corpus juncture.Four patients underwent radical abdominal hysterectomy with systematic pelvic lymphadenectomy.All of four patients underwent four courses of chemotherapy with fluorouracil(5-FU)and carboplatin,one patient(stage Ⅱ a)was added with intracavitary brachytherapy.None of the four patients had relapse or metastasis after a follow-up of 10 to 44 months.The patient with stage Ⅳ a underwent firstly hysterectomy and prerectum mass removal.Pelvic relapse occurred three months after operation and the patient then underwent the second operation,external beam radiotherapy and intracavitary brachytherapy and 8 courses of chemotherapy with paclitaxel(taxol) and carboplatin.There was no relapse or metastasis after a follow-up of 26 months.Conclusions Primary clear cell carcinoma of the cervix may be unrelated to HPV infection.It shows predominantly endophytic growth and tends toward deep infiltration in cervix and extending to uterine corpus.Operation combined with chemotherapy with carboplatin and 5-FU or taxol may lead to relatively perfect short-term therapeutical effect.Serum CA125 can help to monitor prognosis.Objective To study the clinical characteristics,treatment modalities.and prognosis of cervical adenosquamous carcinoma.Methods The data of 21 patients with adenosquamous cervical cancer who were admitted into Zhongnan Hospital,Wuhan University from Jan 2001 to Dec 2005 were analyzed retrospectively.Six patients received Surgical therapy only and 15 patients received combined therapy.ResultsSeven cases were with positive pelvic lymph node metastases and 3 cases were with ovarian metastases.The median survival time of the combined therapy group and surgical therapy group was 54 and 20 months,respectively.In stage Ⅰ and stage Ⅱ patients,the median survival time of the combined therapy group and surgical therapy group was 66 and 20 months,respectively.The difference was significant between the two groups(P<0.05).ConclusionsCombined therapy should be given to patients with adenosquamous carcinoma of the cervix.Surgical therapy and chemotherapy play an important role in the management and prognosis of adenoquamous carcinoma of cervix.Preserve of ovary for patients with adenosquamous carcinoma of the cervix should only be done when the ovary is confirmed free from any malignant involvement by pathology.

Objective The purpose of this work was to compare the efficacy of narrow band imaging-assisted transurethral resection of bladder tumour (TURB) with conventional white light imagingassisted TURB in primary non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer.Methods Several databases were searched,including Cochrance Libarary,PubMed,Embase,Wanfang,VIP,CNKI and CBM.The endpoints were biochemical failure in 3 months,1 year and 2 years.We performed a meta-analysis of the published data.The results are expressed as risk ratio (RR),with the corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI).Results The final analysis included seven trials comprising 1889 patients.Biochemical failure in 3months (RR0.73,95% CI 0.55-0.96;P =0.02),1 year(RR 0.69,95% CI 0.58-0.80;P < 0.01) and 2 years (RR 0.58,95% CI 0.41-0.82;P =0.002) were fewer in patients who received narrow band imagingassisted TURB.The recurrence rates of 3 months,1 year and 2 years were 14.44%,29.35% and 30% in white light imaging group.The recurrence rates of 3 months,1 year and 2 years were 3.61%,9.35% and 12.59% lower in narrow band imaging group compared with white light imaging group.Conclusions Narrow band imaging-assisted TURB was superior to conventional white light imaging-assisted TURB in primary non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer in 2 years.

Objective To study the application of serum microRNA(miR)-338-3p and miR-495-3p levels in the diagnosis and disease evaluation of severe adenovirus pneumonia in children.Methods A total of 130 chil-dren with adenovirus pneumonia who were treated in Cangzhou Central Hospital from November 2020 to No-vember 2022 were enrolled as an observation group.According to the severity of the disease,the children were divided into a mild pneumonia group with 90 children and a severe pneumonia group with 40 children.A total of 130 healthy children who were examined in Cangzhou Central Hospital during the same period were en-rolled as the control group.The observation and control groups and the children with different disease severity were compared in terms of the serum levels of miR-338-3p and miR-495-3p.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to analyze the diagnostic value of serum miR-338-3p and miR-495-3p for severe adeno-virus pneumonia.Multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of severe adeno-virus pneumonia.Results The observation group had a significantly lower serum level of miR-338-3p and a significantly higher serum level of miR-495-3p than the control group(P<0.05).There were significant differences in electrolyte disturbance,circulatory system complications incidence,miR-338-3p level,miR-495-3p level,sequential organ failure score and Murray lung injury score between the mild pneumonia group and the severe pneumonia group(P<0.05).ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve(AUC)of serum miR-338-3p and miR-495-3p in the auxiliary diagnosis of severe adenovirus pneumonia were 0.745(95%CI 0.662-0.828)and 0.774(95%CI 0.685-0.863),respectively.And the AUC of the combination of the two was 0.884(95%CI 0.821-0.946),which was better than that of each index alone(Z=2.593,1.963,P<0.05).Conclusion The level of serum miR-338-3p is decreased and the level of serum miR-495-3p is increased in children with severe adenovirus pneumonia.The combined detection of miR-338-3p and miR-495-3p has a certain value in the diagnosis of severe adenovirus pneumonia and can be used as a serum indica-tor to evaluate the severity of severe adenovirus pneumonia.
