Objective To investigate the correlation of clinical stage and treatment plan with prognosis in incidental prostatic carcinoma.Methods From 2004 to 2010,a total of 1076 patients diagnosed as BPH underwent transurethral plasma kinetic enucleation of prostate (TUPKEP) in our hospital,and their clinical data were respectively analyzed.Among them,42 cases were found to have incidental prostatic carcinoma.The correlation of clinical stage and treatment plan with prognosis in incidental prostatic carcinoma were observed.Results Among 1076 BPH patients undergoing TUPKEP operation,42 cases (3.9％) aged 56-88 years were found to have incidental prostatic carcinoma,which all displayed as prostatic adenocarcinoma including 18 cases at T1 a stage and 24 cases at T1b stage.10 cases received endocrinal therapy,14 cases received bilateral orchiectomy,14 cases underwent radical prostectomy and 4 cases were treated with watchful waiting.Patients were followed up for 24 to 96 months.The survival rates were 100.0％ and the rates of progression were 0.0％,20.0％,0.0％ in T1 a patients received watchful waiting,androgen-deprivation therapy and radical prostectomy,respectively.Total survival rate was 100.0％ and total rate of progression was 11.1％ in T1a patients.The survival rates were 71.4％,100.0％ and the rates of progression were 42.9％,0.0％ in T1 b patients received androgen-deprivation therapy and radical prostectomy,respectively.Total survival rate was 83.3 ％ and total rate of progression was 25.0 ％ in T1 b patients.Compared with T1 b patients,the total survival rate was higher (x2=18.19,P＜0.01) and the rate of progression was lower in T1 a patients (x2 =6.52,P＜0.05).Conclusions The survival rate in T1 a patients accepted androgen-deprivation therapy is similar to that in T1 a patients with watchful waiting.Compared with T1a patients,the survival rate is lower but the rate of progression is higher in T1 b patients received active androgen-deprivation therapy.The survival rate is higher in T1 b patients treated with radical prostectomy than in those received other treatments.Watchful waiting is acceptable for T1 a patients.T1 b patients should be treated with radical prostectomy for a better effect.

Objective To observe the neuroprotective effect of celecoxib against degeneration of dopaminergic neurons caused by lipopolysaccharide in vivo.Methods The rat model of Parkinson disease(PD)was established by intranigral injection of lipopolysaccharide.Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into control group,PD group,and celecoxib group.Behavioural changes were recorded,and the expressions of tyrosine hydroxylase(TH)and cyclooxygenase-2(COX-2)were determined by immunohistochmistry and Western blot.Results No behavioral change was found in control group.There was significant difference in the number of circling behavior between PD and celecoxib groups(196.90±9.52 vs 109.30±9.38,P＜0.01).The number of TH-positive cells and the expression of TH protein in rat substantia nigra were significantly higher in celecoxib group than in PD group(P＜0.01).Compared with PD group,the number of COX-2positive cells and the expression of COX-2 protein were significant lower in celecoxib group(P＜0.01).Conclusion Celecoxib has neuroprotective effect on the degeneration of dopaminergic neurons caused by lipopolysaccharide in vivo.

Objective To investigate the multidisciplinary modality for obesity treatment and evaluate the safety and long-term efficacy of laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding(LAGB) on weight loss and obesity related metabolic diseases in obesity patients.Methods The clinical and follow-up data of 28 consecutive morbid obesity patients receiving LAGB in Dept.General Surgery of PUMC hospital in a multidisciplinary modality from Oct 2009 to May 2012 were retrospectively analyzed.The strategy of perioperative and follow-up management was summarized and the safety and long-term efficacy of LAGB on weight loss and comorbidity were evaluated.Results Mean body weight of the subjects was 129.1kg and mean body mass index(BMI)44.9 kg/m2.All patients underwent LAGB successfully without perioperative mortality.Early postoperative complications included 1 case (3.6％) of pulmonary infection and long-term complications included 2 cases (7.1％)of port infection.Mean body weight and BMI decreased gradually after LAGB.The mean percentage of excess weight loss(％ EWL)at postoperative 24 months was 41.3％.％ EWL of the group with regular follow-up and good compliance was significantly better than the other group.Complete or partial remission was observed in obesity related metabolic diseases at the last follow-up.Conclusions LAGB is safe and has good long-term efficacy on weight loss and comorbidity improvement of obesity patients.Better services can be provided for obesity patients in a multidisciplinary modality,It is important for the patients to follow up regularly after surgery in order to maintain long-term weight loss.

Thirty-three patients with new-onset type 1 diabetes from Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University were recruited from 2013 to 2014. Relevant clinical data were collected for the statistical analysis. Among the 33 patients with type 1 diabetes, there were 7 with fulminant type 1 diabetes (FT1DM), 12 acute onset type 1 diabetes (AT1DM), and 14 with slowly progressive type 1 diabetes (SPIDDM). The fasting and stimulated C-peptide levels were significantly lower while glycated albumin (GA)/HbA1C and mean amplitude of glucose excursions (MAGE) levels were significantly higher in FT1DM group compared with other two groups(all P<0.05). Pearson correlation analysis in all patients with type 1 diabetes revealed that GA/HbA1C was correlated with fasting C-peptide, MAGE, and difference of the peak blood glucose to the lowest blood glucose (ΔBG) levels (all P<0.05). Stepwise multivariate analysis showed that GA/HbA1C was independently correlated with MAGE and ΔBG (P<0.05). Logistic regression model indicated that GA, HbA1C, and GA/HbA1C were independently correlated with FT1DM.

Objective To investigate the effect of sleeve gastrectomy on the intestinal barrier of obesity rats fed with high-fat diet.Methods Thirty obesity rats fed with high-fat diet were randomly divided into three groups including common diet group (CD,n=10),sham operation group (SO,n=10) and sleeve gastrectomy group (SG,n=10).The lactulose/mannitol ratios (L/M) in 24-hour urine and endotoxin in portal vein were evaluated four weeks after surgery.The levels of tight junction proteins including claudin-1 and occludin in intestinal mucosa were analyzed by western blot.Results The body weight of SG group was significantly decreased than those of CD group (P<0.001) and SO group (P<0.001) four weeks after surgery.The L/M ratio in 24-hour urine of SG group was significantly lower than those of CD group (P<0.001) and SO group (P<0.01).The endotoxin level in portal vein of SG group was significantly lower than those of CD group (P<0.01) and SO group (P<0.05).The claudin-1 level in intestinal mucosa of SG group was significantly higher than those of CD group (P<0.001) and SO group (P<0.01) four weeks after surgery.The occludin level in intestinal mucosa of SG group was significantly higherthan those of CD group (P<0.001) and SO group (P<0.001).Conclusions Sleeve gastrectomy can reduce body weight,L/M ratio in 24-hour urine and endotoxin level in portal vein of obesity rat fed with high-fat diet and increase the levels of claudin-1 and occludin in intestinal mucosa.
