Objective:To investigate the influencing factors of postoperative surgical margin, warm ischemia time and severe postoperative complication (MIC) comprehensive outcome in patients with stage T 1b renal cell carcinoma treated with nephron sparing surgery (NSS) and to establish a predictive model. Methods:One hundred and seventy-four patients with stage T 1b renal cell carcinoma treated with NSS were retrospectively chosen in the period from January 2017 to January 2022 in 3201 Hospital. All patients were divided into MIC group ( n=66) and non-MIC group ( n=108) according to whether MIC was achieved after surgery or not. Univariate and multivariate analysis were used to evaluate the independent influencing factors of postoperative MIC comprehensive outcome, and a nomogram prediction model was constructed according to the influencing factors and its predictive value was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Results:There were statistically significant differences in the body mass index ( t=2.81, P=0.006), lesion morphology ( χ2=41.41, P<0.001), hot ischemia time ( t=16.92, P<0.001), creatinine increase within 24 h after surgery ( t=16.79, P<0.001), hemoglobin (Hb) decreased within 24 h after surgery ( t=9.33, P<0.001), perioperative complications ( χ2=21.31, P<0.001), R.E.N.A.L. score ( t=4.74, P<0.001), PADUA score ( t=3.21, P=0.002) and Mayo perirenal adhesion index ( t=22.28, P<0.001) in MIC group and non-MIC group. Multivariate analysis showed that body mass index ( OR=0.31, 95% CI: 0.13-0.74, P=0.007), lesion morphology ( OR=0.36, 95% CI: 0.22-0.59, P<0.001), PADUA score ( OR=0.37, 95% CI: 0.17-0.81, P=0.013) and Mayo perirenal adhesion index ( OR=0.43, 95% CI: 0.24-0.70, P=0.004) were all independent factors of postoperative MIC comprehensive outcomes in patients with stage T 1b renal cell carcinoma treated with NSS. The C-index of the nomogram model built according to the selected variables was 0.89 with high prediction accuracy; area under the curve (AUC) was 0.84 (95% CI: 0.77-0.91), and it had good predictive performance. Conclusion:Body mass index, lesion morphology, PADUA score and Mayo perirenal adhesion index are independent influencing factors for the MIC comprehensive outcome of patients with stage T 1b renal cell carcinoma after NSS treatment. The nomogram model based on the above indicators has better predictive performance.

Objective:To investigate the characteristics of attention bias in Wilson disease(WD) patients with different levels of state-trait anxiety.Methods:The emotional Stroop paradigm and the state-trait anxiety inventory(STAI) were used to evaluate the anxiety level and the characteristics of attention bias in 49 inpatients with WD.SPSS 25.0 software was used for statistical analysis.Independent sample t-test was used for comparison between the two groups.Multiple linear regression analysis was used to evaluated the influencing factors of attentional bias response time. Results:(1) In WD patients, the response times measured under the positive, negative and neutral words in the high trait anxiety group((867.0±172.1)ms, (877.0±167.7)ms, (898.4±169.8)ms, respectively) were significantly higher than the low trait anxiety group((771.9±128.9)ms, (770.9±110.4)ms, (778.4±120.1)ms, respectively) and the differences were statistically significant( t=-2.183, -2.605, -2.847, all P<0.05). The response times under the positive, negative and neutral word measured in the high state anxiety group((866.9±171.9)ms, (867.8±173.8)ms, (889.8±173.5)ms, respectively) were higher than those of the low state anxiety group((771.9±129.2)ms, (780.4±109.3)ms, (787.3±123.0)ms, respectively) and the differences were statistically significant( t=-2.177, -2.116, -2.378, all P<0.05). (2) Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the total score of trait anxiety ( B=4.584, 4.671, 5.376, P=0.020, 0.015, 0.008) and age ( B=9.314, 7.864, 7.505, P=0.002, 0.008, 0.014) were the influencing factors of response times measured under the positive, negative and neutral emotion words. Conclusion:Anxiety will lead patients with WD to show more negative attention bias, and trait anxiety can significantly predict the characteristics of attention bias.

Objective:To investigate the changes of porphyrin metabolites in urine of patients with colorectal cancer before and after operation and their correlation with prognosis.Methods:One hundred patients with colorectal cancer were collected in First Affiliated Hospital of Hebei North University from June 2016 to December 2016, urine was collected before operation, 1 week after operation, 1 year after operation and before recurrence. The contents of urinary porphyrin metabolites of uroporphyrinogenI (UP Ⅰ) and coproporphyrinogen Ⅲ(CP Ⅲ) were detected by high performance liquid chromatography. Toanalyse the changes of UPⅠ and CPⅢ levels before and after operaction of colorectal cancer and their correlation with clinicopathologicalcharacteristics,and the recurrence and metastasis after operation.Results:The levels of UPⅠ and CPⅢ in urine of patients with colorectal cancer after operation were significantly lower than those before operation [(66.80 ± 17.62) μmol/g vs. (35.58 ± 9.32) μmol/g, (20.14 ± 3.14) μmol/g vs. (10.38 ± 0.85) μmol/g] ( P<0.05). The levels of UP Ⅰ and CP Ⅲ in urine of patients with Dukes C/D stage were significantly higher than those with Dukes A/B stage [(45.26 ± 5.26) μmol/g vs. (28.56 ± 3.45) μmol/g, (86.57 ± 6.58) μmol/g vs. (52.48 ± 3.36) μmol/g], the levels of UP Ⅰand CPⅢ in urine of patients with lymph node metastasis were significantly higher than those without lymph node metastasis [(45.44 ± 5.46) μmol/g vs. (30.27 ± 6.07) μmol/g, (86.67 ± 6.87) μmol/g vs. (56.10 ± 11.08) μmol/g], there were significant differences ( P<0.05). Urinary levels of UPⅠ and CPⅢ were independent risk factors for recurrence and metastasis of colorectal cancer after operation ( OR=1.149 and 1.065, P<0.05). Conclusions:Porphyrin metabolites (UPⅠ and CPⅢ) in urine may serve as a new marker for assessing colorectal cancer.

Objective:To explore the effect and mechanism of 5-Aminolevulinic Acid-Photodynamic Therapy (5-ALA-PDT) on the apoptosis of the human colonic carcinoma HT-29 cells.Methods:HT-29 cells were cultured in vivio and divided into four groups: blank control group, 5-ALA group, PDT group and 5-ALA-PDT group.The control group was not given photosensitizer and light treatment; 5-ALA group was given photosensitizer ; PDT group was given light treatment; 5-ALA-PDT group was given photosensitizer and light treatment at the same time. Flow cytometry was used to observe the apoptosis of HT-29 cells. Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to observe the expression of B-type lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2) and Bcl-2 associated X protein (Bax) in HT-29 cells. Ultraviolet spectrophotometry was used to detect the expression of Caspase-3. Results:The apoptotic rate of 5-ALA-PDT group was significantly higher than that of blank control group, 5-ALA group and PDT group ( P<0.05). Compared with the blank control group, 5-ALA-PDT group and PDT group, the expression of Bcl-2 in the 5-ALA-PDT group was statistically significant ( P<0.05), but there was no significant difference in Bax expression among the four groups ( P>0.05). The expression of Bax/Bcl-2 in 5-ALA-PDT group was significantly higher than that in blank control group, 5-ALA group and PDT group ( P<0.05). The expression of Caspase-3 in 5-ALA-PDT group was significantly higher than that in blank control group, 5-ALA group and PDT group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:5-ALA-PDT can induce apoptosis of HT-29 cells, and its mechanism may be related to the induction of apoptosis through Bax/Bcl-2 pathway.

Objective:To investigate the accumulation of porphyrin metabolites [uroporphyrinogen (UP) Ⅰ and coproporphyrinogen (CP) Ⅲ] induced by 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) in the urine of rats with colorectal cancer.Methods:The rat model of colorectal cancer was established by dimethylhydrazine (DMH). Urine samples were collected from 30 colorectal cancer rats (colorectal cancer group) and 30 normal rats (normal group). Each animal was given 5-ALA (50 mg/kg) by gavage, and urine was collected after 2, 4, 6 and 8 h. The contents of urinary porphyromogen Ⅰ and porphyromogen faecalis Ⅲ in urine were detected by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).Results:There was no significant difference in the contents of UP Ⅰ and CP Ⅲ in urine between colorectal cancer group and normal group before oral administration of 5-ALA ( P>0.05). After oral administration of 5-ALA, the contents of UP Ⅰ and CP Ⅲ in urine of colorectal cancer group were significantly higher than those of normal group ( P<0.05). The contents of UP Ⅰ and CP Ⅲ in urine of colorectal cancer group reached the highest value at 4 hours. According to the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve drawn from 4-hour test results, the threshold value of UP Ⅰ for colorectal cancer diagnosis was 50.43 μmol/g, with corresponding sensitivity 96.7%, and the specificity 63.3%, respectively. The threshold value of CP Ⅲ for colorectal cancer diagnosis was 108.85 μmol/g, with corresponding sensitivity 66.7%, and the specificity 86.7%, respectively. Conclusions:The accumulation of porphyrin metabolites induced by 5-ALA in the urine of rats with colorectal cancer is significant. The porphyrin metabolites in urine may be a new tumor marker of colorectal cancer, which provides an experimental basis for the diagnosis of colorectal cancer.
