Objective To investigate the high-risk factors leading to a poor prognosis of small renal cell carcinoma, and provide theoretical basis for the individualized treatment regimen. Methods This retrospective study analyzed the clini?cal and histological data of 18 patients with small renal cell carcinoma treated in the Department of Urology of the Second Hospital of Tianjin Medical University from January 2004 to July 2015. All the patients underwent ultrasound, plain and en?hanced CT examinations, also, received the surgeries. The tumor diameters, pathological types, pathological stages, Fuhrman grading of tumors and the prognosis of patients were analyzed. Results Preoperative CT examination revealed that 18 pa?tients with the average tumor diameter of (3.1 ± 0.6) cm (ranged 2.0 to 4.0 cm). Five patients were diagnosed as T1aN0M0, 4 patients with T1aN0M1 (3 cases with lung metastasis, 1 case with brain metastasis), 3 patients with T1aN1M0 (CT examina?tion showed a lymph node metastasis), 6 patients with T3aN0M0 (renal vein invasion or renal vein tumor thrombus). Patholog?ical examination after surgery showed that 12 patients were Fuhrman gradeⅡ, 5 were gradeⅢand 1 was gradeⅣ;15 cases were clear cell carcinomas, 1 case was papillary carcinoma, 1 was hybrid cellular tumor (malignant rhabdoid tumor with sar?comatoid differentiation) and the last case was sarcomatoid carcinoma renal cell carcinoma (Fuhrman grade V). 4 patients (T3a, Fuhrman grade Ⅱ) underwent retroperitoneal laparoscopic partial nephrectomy and the remaining underwent laparo?scopic radical nephrectomy. The median follow-up time was 22.5 months (ranged 6 to 48 months). Four cases died (2 cases with tumor diameters of 3.8 cm and 4.0 cm at preliminary diagnosis,2 cases with sarcomatoid renal carcinoma and 1 with brain metastasis), 1 case was lost. Other patients were found no tumor recurrence and metastasis. Conclusion The small re?nal cell tumor with diameter≥3.0 cm, FuhrmanⅢ/Ⅳgrade,sarcomatoid cancer or metastasis should be considered as high-risk factors of small renal cell carcinoma. The high-risk small renal cell carcinoma is heterogeneous in its biological behav?ior, which is expressed as aggressive growth and early invasion of renal tissue and even metastasis. The individualized treat? ment should be made based on preoperative imaging findings and postoperative pathology.

[Abstract ] Objective At present, few studies are reported on procalciton (PCT) and endotoxin (ET) in the diagnosis of urosepsis after percutaneous nephrolithotomy ( PCNL) .The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical value of the detection of serum procalcitonin and endotoxin in the early diagnosis of urosepsis after PCNL . Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data about 427 cases of upper urinary tract stones treated by PCNL , among which urosepsis developed postoperatively in 49 ( the urosepsis group ) and the other 378 non-urosepsis cases served as controls .At 1 day and 2 hours before PCNL , we detected the levels of serum ET and PCT and analyzed the PCT and ET levels and the results of combined detection in the two groups of patients using the ROC curve. Results At 2 hours before surgery , both the levels of PCT and ET were significantly higher in the urosepsis group than in the non-urosepsis controls ([ 5.18 ±4.43 ] vs [ 1.38 ±1.01 ] ng/mL, P<0.01;[50.91 ±35.45] vs [17.86 ±10.78] pg/mL, P<0.01).ROC curve analyses manifested that the areas under the curve (AUC) of PCT and ET were 0.841 ±0.038 and 0.786 ± 0.043, their sensitivities were 79.6%and 71.4%, and their specificities were 78.0%and 70.1%, respectively.The combined de-tection showed the AUC, sensitivity, and specificity to be 0.915 ±0.029, 85.7%, and 86.5%, respectively, all significantly higher than either PCT or ET detection alone (P<0.01). Conclusion The combined detection of PCT and ET can significantly increase the sensitivity and specificity of early diagnosis of urosepsis after PCNL and is superior to either PCT or ET detection alone .

Aim To study the characteristics of the binding reaction of Troxetutin with bovine serum albumin (BSA) by fluorescence and ultra violet-visible absorption spectra.Methods The quenching mechanism of the fluorescence of BSA by troxerutin was studied with fluorescence.To determine the dynamic quenching constants and static binding constants,the Stern-Volmer equation and the double reciprocal Lineweaver-Burk equation were applied. The number of binding site was calculated with double logarithmic equation and the main binding force was discussed by thermodynamic equations. The binding distance and energy transfer efficiency between donor (BSA) and acceptor (troxerutin) were obtained effectively quenched fluorescence of BSA via static quenching processes. The binding constant Ka was calculated to be in the order of 106,indicating a strong interaction between Troxerutin and BSA. The number of binding site was approximately equal to 1,the binding distance was 1.97 nm,the energy transfer efficiency was 0.529,and the binding force was mainly hydrophobic force.Conclusion Troxerutin effectively quenchs the intrinsic fluorescence of BSA via static quenching mechanism,and the binding is mainly driven by the hydrophobic interaction.

Objective:To investigate the predictive value of circulating miR-143 and miR-182 for the short-term clinical outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS).Methods:Patients with AIS admitted to Danzhou People's Hospital from January 2018 to June 2020 were included prospectively. The modified Rankin Scale was used to evaluate the short-term clinical outcome at 14 d after onset or at discharge. 0-2 was defined as good outcome, and >2 was defined as poor outcome. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify the independent risk factors for poor short-term clinical outcomes in patients with AIS. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the predictive value of miR-143 and miR-182 for the short-term clinical outcomes in patients with AIS. Results:A total of 158 patients with AIS, aged 65.80±12.36 years, were enrolled, including 105 males (66.46%), 95 patients with good outcome (60.1%) and 63 with poor outcome (39.9%). The age, total cholesterol, triglyceride, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score, serum miR-143 and miR-182 level in the poor outcome group were significantly higher than those in the good outcome group (all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age (odds ratio [ OR] 1.984, 95% confidence interval [ CI] 1.315-3.617; P=0.036), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol ( OR 2.108, 95% CI 1.406-4.103; P=0.013), baseline NIHSS score ( OR 2.584, 95% CI 1.675-4.505; P=0.005), miR-143 ( OR 3.205, 95% CI 2.370-6.180; P<0.001) and miR-182 ( OR 2.802, 95% CI 1.905-5.516; P<0.001) were the independent risk factors for poor outcomes in patients with AIS. ROC curve analysis showed that the combined area under the curve of miR-143 and miR-182 to predict the poor outcome in patients with AIS was 0.935 (95% CI 0.873-0.992), the sensitivity and specificity were 96.5% and 87.0% respectively. Conclusions:The increase of serum miR-143 and miR-182 was closely associated with the poor short-term outcomes in patients with AIS. The combination of the two has a good predictive value for the poor short-term outcomes in patients with AIS.
