Objective To explore the safety and efficacy of fusion imaging technique and traditional ultrasound guidance in percutaneous nephrolithotomy,and to compare the difference of two methods for PCNL.Methods Patients with renal calculus,who underwent percutaneous nephrolithotomy from January 2016 to August 2016,were enrolled in the study.The patients were randomly divided into two groups by SAS software.The control group was treated with traditional ultrasound guided puncture technique (Ultrasound group).Experimental group was treated with fusion imaging method (CT-US group).Preoperative patient CT image data was uploaded to the image fusion ultrasound machine for data synchronization.Both groups used the same way to establish a standard channel (F24).Lithoclast system from EMS was used to remove stones.Intraoperative parameters (time to define the target calyx,access establishment time,operative duration) and postoperative perioperative data (estimated blood loss,stone-free rate,severe complications) were compared between the two groups.Results 65 cases of patients were enrolled into the study.There was no significant difference in age (P =0.72),body mass index (P =0.78),stone size (P =0.53) and so on.Compared with the control group,the time duration to define the target calyx in CT-US group is significantly decreased in experiment group(50.4 ± 18.1) s vs.(82.1 ± 37.7) s,(P =0.02).The time to establish the access and fulfill the procedure shows no significant difference between the two groups,respectvely(P =0.45,0.61).Also,significant differences can be found in the hemoglobin loss during and after the surgery(1.1 ± 0.5) g/L vs.(1.4 ± 0.4) g/L (P =0.04).The difference in severe complications (Clavien Ⅲ and above),stone-free rate (P =0.60) and transfusion rate (P =1.00) was not significant.Conclusions Our primary study shows CT-altrasound image fusion guide PCNL is a safe and reliable technology.The time duration to define the target calyx was decreased compared with traditional US guidance method.The target calyx chosen was more accurate,with lower blood loss during the perioperative period.

Objective To describe and introduce the initial clinical application of a novel instrument needle-perc for percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) in upper urinary tract stones.Methods 24 patients with upper urinary stone treated by PCNL were collected retrospectively between August 2017 and January 2018.Sixteen patients were male and 8 were female.Average age was 41.2 years,ranging 26-65 years.Eight cases had upper pole stones,6 cases had pelvic stones,8 cases had lower pole stones and 4 cases had the stone in UPJ.The mean calculus size was 1.2 cm,ranging 0.5-1.4 cm.All patients were punctured under total ultrasound with needle-perc.Six cases had upper calyceal puncture,10 cases had middle calyceal puncture and 8 cases had lower calyceal puncture.The needle-shaped nephroscope consists of a puncture sheath and a needle handle.The puncture sheath is a hollow metal sheath with an outer diameter of F4.2,an inner diameter of F3.6,and a length of 15 cm.The tip of the sheath is beveled to facilitate puncture.The outer end of sheath is connected to the needle handle through a screw interface.And the three interfaces of the three-way tube can be respectively connected with a liquid irrigation device,a video optical fiber and a 200 μm holmium laser fiber.The needle-perc integrated image system,the irrigation system,and the nephroscope channel are integrated.The tissue passing through the needle can be simultaneously observed through video optical fiber during puncturing.After the tip of the sheath is inserted into the target calyx,the holmium laser fiber is connected for fragmenting or dusting.Results Needle-perc was successful in 22 cases,2 patients were converted to larger tract(F16).The mean opeartive time was 49.2 min,ranging 22-75 min and the mean hemoglobin loss was 5.2 g/L,ranging 0-13.8 g/L.Mean postoperative hospital stay was 3 days,ranging 1 to 6 days.No Double-J stents or nephrostomy tube was placed in the 22 patients.Complications (Clavien Ⅱ) occurred in 4 cases,including fever in 2 cases and renal colic in 2 cases.Plain film of KUB or CT scan was done and stone free rate at 1 month was 90.9％ (20/22),2 patients needed ESWL to remove the residual stones.Conclusions Needle-perc is efficient and safe for small renal stones (size ＜ 1.5 cm) from our initial experience,with high stone-free rate and low complication rate in early follow-up.

Objective To explore the relationship between m6A RNA methylation regulators and prognosis of prostate cancer.Methods Clinicopathological and mRNA-related data of 496 cases of prostate cancer were downloaded from the Cancer Genome Atlas(TCGA)database,and 12 m6A regulators were identified:METTL3,METTL14,WTAP,RBM15,ZC3H13,YTHDC1,YTHDC2,YTHDF1,YTHDF2,HNRNPC,FTO,and ALKBH5.The m6A regulators differentially expressed in prostate cancer samples were screened.Unsupervised clustering of prostate cancer tissues was used to compare differences in overall survival.Multivariate Cox regres-sion analysis was used to divide patients into high-and low-risk groups according to the risk scores,and survival rates were compared.The risk score of clinicopathological factors was determined,and a multivariate Cox regression analysis model was constructed to evaluate the prognostic prediction value.Immunohistochemical staining was performed to detect METTL14 and FTO expression in prostate cancer tis-sues.Results Eight differentially expressed regulators were screened from 12 m6A regulators.Unsupervised cluster analysis divided the samples into Clusters 1,2,and 3 and found significant differences in survival time in all three groups.Multivariate Cox regression analyses revealed that METTL14and FTOwere strongly associated with the prognosis of patients with prostate cancer.A Cox regression model con-structed to score the risk of prostate cancer revealed that the high-and low-risk groups had survival differences,and the risk score could be used as an independent prognostic factor.The positive expression rates of METTL14 and FTO protein in prostate cancer tissues were significantly higher than those in adjacent tissues(P<0.05).Conclusion In this study,a prognostic prediction model based on m6A regulators of prostate cancer was constructed,in which the risk score could be used as an independent prognostic factor.METTL14and FTOcould be used as molecular markers for the diagnosis of prostate cancer and as potential targets for treatment.
