Malakoplakia is a rare granulomatous inflammatory disease,Almost 75% of cases of malakoplakia mainly affect the genitourinary tracts,and a small proportion affect the intestines. Its occurrence in the adrenal gland is extremely rare. We report a case of adrenal malakoplakia. Who was presented to the hospital for chronic left upper abdominal pain and fever. The patient was admitted to our hospital due to the discovery of a huge mass in the left adrenal gland by CT. Pathological features of Michaelis Gutmann bodies(M-G bodies)were observed through adrenal biopsy,which revealed adrenal Malakoplakia. E. coli was cultured from both blood and the pus in the left renal parenchymal aera. After regular antibiotics treatment,the patient's fever symptoms improved compared to before. CT imaging showed that the adrenal mass had decreased in size,indicating effective treatment. Adrenal malakoplakia is easily misdiagnosed as malignant disease because of its radiological occupying performance. And its gold standard is pathology. For patients with symptoms of infection,we recommend urine,blood,pus in the pararenal area culture tests,and treatment with sensitive antibiotics according to the results of drug sensitivity testing.

Objective :
To investigate the biological functions and regulatory mechanism of hexokinase(HK2) in driving tumor initiation and development of prostate cancer.
Methods:
Immunohistochemical staining was employed to assess HK2 expression in benign prostate tissue and prostate cancer tissue. Correlation analyses were performed to elucidate the association of HK2 expression and clinical factors. Western blot analyses were employed to assess HK2 expression in prostate cancer cell lines. Cellular viability was assessed using the MTT assay.In vivotumorigenesis ability of HK2 was evaluated using xenograft animal models. Glucose flux tracing was conducted through isotopic analyses in prostate cancer cells.
Results :
HK2 expression was elevated in prostate cancer tissues compared to benign prostate tissues(P<0.05). HK2 expression was positively correlated with Gleason Score, prostate-specific antigen(PSA) levels and the presence of metastases(P<0.05). Overexpression ofHK2enhanced cell proliferationin vitro(P<0.01). Knockdown ofHK2decreased tumorigenesisin vivo. HK2 augmented metabolic activity of glycolysis pathway in prostate cancer cells(P<0.05).
Conclusion
HK2 facilitates tumorigenesis in prostate cancer by upregulating glycolytic activity.

【Objective】 To reduce the incidence of postoperative intestinal obstruction, we tried to improve surgical techniques by closing the cavity formed during radical cystectomy + ileal passage (Bricker) via laparoscopy to prevent the formation of abdominal hernia. 【Methods】 During Oct.2018 and Feb.2022, 41 patients were involved (conventional group). After standard laparoscopic radical cystectomy + pelvic lymphadenectomy, the ileum channel was established. The right medial retroperitoneum was sutured to cover the mesothelium and end of the ileum channel under open operation or endoscope. The space between the ureter and mesothelium of the ileum channel was sealed, and the end of the ileum channel and both ureters were externalized. During Feb.2022 and Dec.2022, 15 patients were involved (modified group). The right inner and outer lateral peritoneums below the ileal conduit were sutured to "bottom out" the gap between the ileal conduit and the right abdominal wall in addition to standard procedures. The recovery of intestinal function and incidence of bowel obstruction were compared between the two groups. 【Results】 In the conventional group, the intestinal function recovered within 2 to 6 days after surgery, with a median ventilation time of 3 days. Intestinal obstruction occurred in 3 patients, 2 of whom improved after conservative treatment while 1 underwent surgical exploration after ineffective conservative therapy. There were no significant differences in the time of discharge and ventilation between the two groups, but no intestinal obstruction occurred in the modified group. 【Conclusion】 Peritoneal externalization at the end of ileal passage can reduce the incidence of intra-abdominal hernia and postoperative intestinal obstruction, which is worthy of clinical application.
