Objective To study the clinical manifestations and surgical treatment in renal transplant recipients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Methods From January 2013 to May 2015, 5 patients of kidney transplant recipients who suffered from BPH for transurethral resection of prostate (TURP) treatments were enrolled (kidney transplant recipients group) and 15 patients with the same surgical treatments during the same peoriod were enrolled too (common control group). The routine examination, urodynamic, sex hormone levels and and the clinical efficacy were observed. Results The levels of hemoglobin, total protein, urea nitrogen, creatinine, prostate volume , residual urine and maximum flow rate (Qmax) before operation between two groups had no significant differences (P>0.05). The level of testosterone in kidney transplant recipients group was significantly lower than that in common control group: (3.5 ± 1.2) mmol/L vs. (5.5 ± 2.2) mmol/L, P < 0.05. The level of estradiol in kidney transplant recipients group was significantly higher than that in common control group:(49.6 ± 13.8) mmol/L vs. (40.5 ± 16.4) mmol/L, P < 0.05. In kidney transplant recipients group, the levels of hemoglobin, total protein, urea nitrogen, creatinine before and after operation had no significant differences (P>0.05). After operation, the levels of hemoglobin, total protein, urea nitrogen, creatinine in two groups had no significant differences (P>0.05). In kidney transplant recipients group, the quality of life (QOL) score before operation was 5 scores in 4 cases and 6 scores in 1 case, and those after operation were zero in 3 cases and 1 score in 2 cases. Conclusions Under the sufficient preoperative preparation and assessment, the renal transplant recipients with BPH patients can improve the symptoms of urinary obstruction and obtain satisfactory clinical efficacy as common BPH patients.

Background:Pancreatic cancer is obscure in onset and progresses rapidly with very poor prognosis. Photodynamic therapy( PDT)has been developed as a novel anti-tumor treatment modality since 1980s. At present,there are only limited researches on pancreatic cancer treated with PDT in vivo. Aims:To investigate the efficacy of quantum dots-RGD ( QDs-RGD)based PDT combined with gemcitabine for treatment of pancreatic cancer xenograft in nude mice. Methods:QDs-RGD probe was synthesized and nude mice bearing pancreatic cancer xenograft was established. Nude mice were imaged at 1,5,10 and 24 hours after injection of QDs-RGD and QDs by in vivo imaging system. Forty model nude mice were randomly divided into five groups:control group( without any treatment),simple illumination group( laser 630 nm, 120 J/cm2,20 min),PDT group(QDs-RGD 0. 5 nmol+laser irradiation),gemcitabine group(gemcitabine 50 mg/kg)and combination group(QDs-RGD 0. 5 nmol+laser irradiation+gemcitabine 50 mg/kg). All the nude mice were sacrificed 18 days later. Tumor weight and volume were measured and tumor inhibition rate was calculated. Results:Fluorescence of tumor was shown 1 hour after injection and became clearest at the 5th hour,then showing a decrescendo trend. Density of QDs surrounding tumor was significantly less than that of QDs-RGD and faded away at the 10th hour. Tumor weight and volume in PDT group,gemcitabine group and combination group were all significantly lower than those in control group and simple illumination group(P<0. 01),and those in combination group were significantly lower than those in PDT group and gemcitabine group(P <0. 05). No significant differences in tumor weight and volume were found between control group and simple illumination group(P >0. 05),as well as between PDT group and gemcitabine group(P >0. 05). Tumor inhibition rate in combination group,gemcitabine group and PDT group was 70. 5%,43. 5% and 37. 1%, respectively. Conclusions:QDs-RGD based PDT combined with gemcitabine can inhibit the growth of pancreatic cancer xenograft in nude mice,which introduces a new idea to the treatment of pancreatic cancer.
