Objective To investigate the expression of thymidylate synthase (TS) in bladder urothelial carcinoma(BUC) and its clinical significance, and to evaluate its prognostic value, thus to help predict the prognosis and choose therapy protocal. Methods The expression of TS was assessed by immunohistochemistry in 54 BUC and 15 normal bladder specimens, and all these clinical data were retrospectively analyzed after surgery. Expression of TS,clinicopathologic findings and two prognostic variances (relapse-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS)) were determined. The prognostic value of TS was estimated by survival curve and Cox proportional hazards model. Results Immunohistochemistry showed that 25 of 54 BUC cases (46. 30%) had high TS expression. In these cases,there was 29. 41%o (5/17) for G1 ,46. 43% (13/28) for G2,77. 78% (7/9) for G3 ;21.43% (3/14) for Ta, 26. 32% (5/19) for T1, 86. 67% ( 13/15 ) for T2,66.67% (2/3) for T3,66.67% (2/3) for T4. Expression of TS was positively associated with the grade and stage of carcinorma ( Kruskal - Wallis H, P = 0. 0 3 and P ＜ 0. 0 0 1 ). The recurrence and case - fatality of patients with high TS expression was 60. 00% (15/25) and 44. 00% (11/25) ,respectively. The survival analysis and Cox regression analysis showed that expression of TS were independent predictor for recurrence ( RR = 2. 65,95% CI was 0.80～8.81,P＜0.05) anddeath (RR=1.42,95%CIwas0. 36～5.58,P＜0. 05). Conclusions The probability of BUC progress and recurrence increases with the increasing of TS expression. Detection of TS expressing level can contribute to select appropriate treatment and follow-up schema.

Objective To customize the optimal plans for radioactive 125I seeds volumetric implants in selected regular target volumes.Methods 125I seeds were symmetrically and uniformly implanted into 3 spherical targets with the diameters of 1,2 and 3 cm and 7 ellipsoidal targets with the 3 dimensions of 1 cm×1 cm×2 cm,1 cm×1 cm×3 cm,1 cm×2cm×2cm,1 cm×2 cm×3 cm,1 cm ×3 cm×3 cm,2 cm×2 cm×3 cm and2 cm×3 cm×3 cm.The activity and inter-space of seeds were adjusted to obtain the conformal and uniform dose distribution,with the prescribed D90 (the dose delivered to 90％ of the targets) greater than 145 Gy.The inter-space of seeds was changed from 1 cm to 0.75 cm,to improve the conformity and uniformity of dose distribution.Plan quality was assessed using homogeneity index (HI),external index (EI) and conformal index (CI).The activity and number of seeds implanted were also recorded and compared.Results For the spherical target with the diameter of 1 cm,when seeds were implanted with the inter-space of 1 cm and 0.75 cm,the HI were 40.0％ and 55.9％,the EI were 98.3％ and 95.1％,the CI were 0.44 and 0.44,respectively.For the spherical target with the diameter of 3 cm and the target with the 3 dimensions of 1 cm × 2 cm × 2 cm,the implant with the inter-space of 1 cm provided better indices of HI,EI and CI than those with the inter-space of 0.75 cm.For the other targets,the implants with the inter-space of 0.75 cm provided better indices of EI and CI than those with the inter-space of 1 cm,although they displayed a little worse homogeneity in terms of HI.The activity per seed was 17.0-27.8 MBq and 30.0-58.8 MBq in the implants with the inter-spaces of 0.75 cm and 1 cm,respectively.2-10 more seeds were needed in the implants with the inter-space of 0.75 cm.Conclusions For the studied targets except the spherical targets with the diameter of 1 cm and 3 cm and the ellipsoidal target with the dimension of 1 cm × 2 cm × 2 cm,125I seeds implanted with the inter-space of 0.75 cm could provide more conformal dose distribution.It could be the better customized plans for uniformly spaced seed implantation.

Objective To investigate the influencing factors of cognitive impairment in patients with lacunar infarction (LI) and to analyze the features of cognitive impairment at different parts in patients with LI.Methods Patients with LI and normal controls were enrolled in the study.Mini-Mental Status Examination (MMSE) was used to evaluate cognitive impairment.California Verbal Learning Test (CVLT),Verbal Fluency Test (VFT),Benton Judgment of Line Orientation Test (BJLOT),Digit Symbol-Coding subtest (DSCT),Paced Auditory Serial Addition Test (PASAT),and Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST)were used to evaluate attention,information processing speed,memory,verbal fluency,and executive function.Results A total of 98 patients with LI and 20 normal controls were enrolled.Of the 98 patients with LI,31 had cognitive impairment and 67 were cognitively normal.The proportions of hypertension,diabetes,multiple LI,and severe white matter lesions,as well as the level of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol in the CI group were significantly higher than those in the normal controls (all P ＜ 0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that hypertension (odds ratio [OR] 5.391,95％ confidence interval [CI] 1.515-19.182; P=0.009),diabetes (OR 4.679,95％ CI 1.428-15.339; P=0.011),multiple LI (OR 6.458,95％ CI 1.797-23.213; P =0.004),and severe white matter lesions (OR 6.724,95％ CI 1.440-27.331; P=0.014) were the independent risk factors for the occurrence of cognitive impairment in patients with LI.Among the 98 patients with LI,56 were pure LI (no white matter lesions),but 5 of them were excluded because they could not complete neuropsychological tests.Finally,51 patients were enrolled and were compared and analyzed with the normal control group.Compared to the normal control group,the number of correct answers of WCST-64 in the corona radiata/semi-oval center group (n =15) reduced significantly,and the number of sustained errors increased significantly (P ＜ 0.05).The scores of verbal fluency,DSCT,PASAT,as well as the number of correct answers and the number of completed categories of WCST-64 decreased significantly in the basal ganglia group (n =20) (all P ＜0.05).The scores of short-term memory and delayed recall,as well as the scores of DSCT and PASAT decreased significantly in the thalamus group (n =16) (all P ＜0.05).Conelusiuns Hypertension,diabetes,multiple LI,and severe white matter lesions are the independent risk factors for occurring cognitive impairment in patients with LI.The corona radiata/semi-oval center infarction is easy to complicate with impaired executive function.Basal ganglia infarction is associated with verbal fluency,information processing speed,attention,and executive function impairment.The cognitive impairment of thalamic infarction is mainly manifested in the memory,attention,and information processing speed.
