OBJECTIVE To explore the application effects of the multi-disciplinary treatment (MDT)-based continuous pharmaceutical care system in patients undergoing anti-infection treatment. METHODS This research team innovatively developed an MDT continuous pharmaceutical care system, which was applied to cases of anti-infection treatment following MDT due to infection, aiming to innovate the continuous medication supervision model. A retrospective analysis method was used to collect data from 150 patients in the intensive care unit who underwent conventional anti-infection MDT consultations from January to October 2021 in Banan Hospital Affiliated to Chongqing Medical University, serving as the control group, and 130 patients in the intensive care unit who were under the MDT continuous pharmaceutical care system from January to October 2022 were selected as the intervention group. The general information of the patients, the information continuous tracking management, the outcomes of anti- infection treatment, adverse drug reactions, antibacterial drug management indicators, and the degree of satisfaction of relevant medical staff with the clinical pharmacists’ pharmaceutical services were compared between the two groups. RESULTS Comparison of general information between the two groups showed no statistically significant differences (P>0.05). The proportion of continuous tracking management in the intervention group was significantly higher than in the control group (P<0.01), and the differences in the initiators and reasons for continuous tracking management between the two groups were statistically significant (P<0.05). The intervention group had better outcomes in anti-infection treatment compared to the control group (P<0.05). The antibacterial drug management indicators (total length of hospital stay, duration of antibacterial drug use, total drug costs, and amount of antibacterial drugs used) in the intervention group were significantly lower than in the control group, while overall degree of satisfaction among medical staff was significantly higher in the intervention group than in the control group (P<0.05). No statistically significant differences were found in adverse reaction occurrence and antibacterial drug costs between the two groups (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS The application of this system in patients who underwent anti-infection treatment after MDT can achieve continuous multi-disciplinary tracking management with clinical pharmacists at the core, which is beneficial for promoting the follow-up efficiency of the MDT team, raising the quality of clinical pharmacists’ pharmaceutical services, strengthening treatment outcomes, and promoting the rational use of antibacterial drugs in clinical practice.

Objective:To investigate the clinicopathologic features and differential diagnosis of ureteral fibroepithelial polyps.Methods:The clinicopathologic features and prognosis of ureteral fibroepithelial polyps with complete data retrieved from the pathology database of the Institute of Urology, Peking University from January 2013 to December 2021 were collected and analyzed. All HE staining sections were reviewed by a senior urologic pathologist. Immunohistochemical analysis was done in some cases for differential diagnosis. The clinical, imaging and outcome data were collected, and discussed together with relevant literature.Results:There were 45 patients with complete clinicopathologic data, including 34 males and 11 females (male: female=3.1∶1.0), with a median age of 36 (range 13-80) years. Preoperative diagnosis included polyp in 23 cases, tumor in 19 cases and calculi in 3 cases. The main clinical symptoms were hematuria (13 cases), low back and abdominal pain (9 cases) and no symptoms (9 cases). There were 29 cases of multiple polyps, 16 cases of single polyp; 32 cases were on the left side, 13 cases were on the right side; 29 cases of upper polyps, 9 cases of middle polyps, and 6 cases of lower polyps. Twenty-seven patients had no related urologic history, 10 patients had history of urolithiasis, and the rest had history of stents, strictures or tumors. Local ureteral resection and anastomosis were the most common treatment (20 cases), followed by ureteroscopic polypectomy (12 cases). The patients were followed up from the pathological diagnosis to the cut-off time: 4 cases were lost to follow-up, and the remaining 34 cases were followed up for 3 to 85 (mean 60 months). One case had polyp recurrence after 3 months, and the other case had polyp recurrence after 2 years. Fibroepithelial polyps had a variety of gross manifestations, ranging from elongated polyps or small papillary and polypoid to large papillary masses. Microscopically, they were divided into type 1, type 2 and type 3, and the type 3 was the most common type (28 cases). In this study, there were 41 cases of simple fibroepithelial polyp, 2 cases of malignant transformation of polyps into urothelial carcinoma, one case of polyps with urothelial carcinoma, and one case of polyp with surface urothelial carcinoma in situ; the stroma showed myofibroblastic proliferation.Conclusions:The clinical manifestations and morphologic characteristics of ureteral fibroepithelial polyps are diverse. The three microscopic types are easily confused with many benign and malignant ureteral diseases, such as inflammatory polyps, adenocystitis, papilloma, etc. Awareness of the key differentiation points and judicious use of immunohistochemistry will be helpful for the diagnosis and differential diagnosis.

Objective:To present the clinical characteristics and treatment on patients with ectopic adrenocorticotropic hormone(ACTH) syndrome (EAS) caused by the retroperitoneal paraganglioma.Methods:The clinical data of a case of EAS caused by retroperitoneal paraganglioma were analyzed retrospectively, and the related literature at home and abroad was reviewed.Results:The 53-year-old female patient was admitted to endocrinology department due to a fifteen-year history of hypertension, accompanied by fatigue for three months, headache and dizziness for one month. The laboratory data demonstrated severe hypokalemia, high level of serum and urinary cortisol, while the ACTH level remained unsuppressed. The 24 h urinary vanillyl mandelic acid (VMA) and serum free methoxyepinephrine (MNs) level were elevated. The abdominal computed tomographic scan suggested a retroperitoneal mass next to the abdominal aorta. After the retroperitoneal tumor resection was performed, immunohistochemical staining of the tumor revealed Syn (+ ), CgA (+ ), ACTH (focal + ). By the retrospective analysis of 22 similar cases from 16 papers and the case summarized above, we found that most patients with EAS caused by the paraganglioma could demonstrate the typical clinical features of Cushing′s syndrome, while lack of the manifestation of paraganglioma. Therefore, preoperative preparations for paraganglioma were usually neglected.Conclusions:Ectopic ACTH syndrome (EAS) originating from paraganglioma is very rare. To improve the diagnosis rate, examination for catecholamine, MNs and 24 h urinary VMA before surgery in patients with EAS is suggested. Considering surgical resection as the optimal treatment, comprehensive preoperative preparations for both paraganglioma and Cushing′s syndrome are significant. A genetic test for pheochromocytoma/ paraganglioma and lifelong postoperative follow-up are also recommend.

Objective:To explore the features of free uroflow(FF) curve patterns in female patients with detrusor underactivity(DU) and their clinical significance.Methods:Data of 275 adult female patients with lower urinary tract symptoms(LUTS) underwent urodynamic studies(UDS) at urology center of our hospital from June 2014 to June 2016 were analyzed retrospectively. The uroflow curve patterns of patients with DU were classified and analyzed in the context of parameters of FF, cystometry (CM), and pressure-flow study(PFS). The prevalence of each abnormal uroflow curve pattern in DU patients were calculated and compared with those in non-DU patients.Results:No bell-shaped curve was found in 141 patients with DU. The abnormal curve patterns can be divided into 5 types: Type Ⅰ (bell-shaped curve with saw tooth) in 20 cases (14.2%), Type Ⅱ (box-like curve) in 34 cases (24.1%), Type Ⅲ (triangle curve with decreasing slop) in 62 cases(43.9%), Type Ⅳ (triangle curve with increasing slop) in 4 cases (4.3%), Type Ⅴ (tide-wave curve)in 19 cases (13.5%). Maximum flow rate of free uroflow(Q max.FF) of type Ⅰ [(28.4±9.7) ml/s] was significantly greater than that of type Ⅱ, Ⅲ and Ⅴ[(17.0±4.1), (15.8±5.4) and (12.9±6.4) ml/s, P<0.05]. Flow time of free uroflow(FT.FF) of type Ⅲ and Ⅴ [(43.7±17.2) and (50.1±28.9)s] were significantly longer than that of type Ⅰ and Ⅱ [(18.5±7.3)s and (27.2±9.7)s, P<0.05]. Post voided residual > 50ml was noted in 19 cases (30.6%) of type Ⅲ, 7 cases (36.8%) of type Ⅴ, 1 case (2.9%) of type Ⅱ and no one in type Ⅰ and Ⅳ. Abnormal manifestations in cystometry mainly included bladder hypersensitivity, detrusor overactivity, and stress urinary incontinence. Detrusor pressure at Q max (Pdet.Q max) of type Ⅴ [(7.4±5.0) cmH 2O] was significantly lower than that of type Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ [(11.8±6.7), (12.0±5.3), (12.1±5.0) cmH 2O, P<0.05]. Among 134 cases of non-DU, there were type Ⅰ curves in 88 cases (65.7%), type Ⅱ curves in 4 cases (2.9%), type Ⅲ curves in 15 cases (11.2%), type Ⅳ curves in 1 cases (0.7%), type Ⅴ curves in 7 cases (5.2%). And normal bell-shaped curves in 19 cases(14.2%). The prevalence of type Ⅱ, Ⅲ and Ⅴ in DU patients was significantly higher than that in the non DU patients ( P<0.05). Conclusions:This study reveals that the characteristics of reduced detrusor contractility and duration, prolonged bladder emptying or incomplete emptying can be reflected in the patterns of free uroflow curve in female patients with DU. The abnormalities of these free uroflow curve patterns, especially type Ⅱ, Ⅲ and Ⅴ will be helpful in preliminarily screening DU in females.

Objective To evaluate the early and mid-term safety of transcatheter aortic valve replacement via transfemoral (TF), transapical (TAp) and transsubclavian (TSc) approaches by meta-analysis. Methods We systematically searched the clinical comparative trials published from inception to June 2019 from PubMed, Web of Science, EMbase and The Cochrane Library, to evaluate the safety of transcatheter aortic valve replacement through TF, TAp or TSc approaches. The information of all-cause mortality at 30 days, 1 year, 2 years and the incidence of common complications at 30 days after operation (including pacemaker-dependent block, major vascular complications, severe bleeding events, acute renal injury and stroke) were exacted, and a meta-analysis was conducted by RevMan 5.3 software. Results This study included 11 literatures, with a total of 7 833 patients, among whom 5 348 patients were treated by TF TAVR, 1 796 patients by TAp TAVR and 689 patients by TSc TAVR. The results of the meta-analysis were as follows: (1) at 30 days after operation, the mortality of TF and TSc approaches were lower than that of the TAp approach (TF vs. TAp:OR=0.57, 95%CI 0.39-0.84, P=0.004; TSc vs. TAp: OR=4.12, 95%CI 1.93-8.79, P=0.000 3). There was no statistical difference between the TF and TSc approaches (TF vs. TSc: OR=0.98, 95%CI 0.38-2.51, P=0.97); at 1 year, there was no statistical difference in mortality among the three approaches (P>0.05); at 2 years, there was no statistical difference between TSc and TF or TAp approaches (TF vs. TSc: OR=1.21, 95%CI 0.95-1.54, P=0.13; TSc vs. TAp: OR=1.02, 95%CI 0.76-1.36, P=0.91). (2) The incidence of acute kidney injury after TF approach was lower than that of the TAp approach (OR=0.30, 95%CI 0.22-0.41, P<0.000 01). (3) There was no statistical difference in major vascular complications between TSc and TF or TAp approaches (TF vs. TSc: OR=0.75, 95%CI 0.38-1.49, P=0.41; TSc vs. TAp: OR=1.37, 95%CI 0.56-3.32, P=0.49). (4) There was no statistical difference in severe bleeding events between TF and TSc (OR=0.97, 95%CI 0.53-1.76, P=0.92). (5) There was no statistical difference in the incidence of postoperative stroke, pacemaker dependent block among the three approaches (P>0.05). Conclusion TAp and TSc approaches are safe and effective. They are not only an alternative to TF approach, but also the first choice in some patients with poor condition of iliofemoral artery.

Objective:
To study the clinical characteristics, image findings, therapeutic method and prognosis of metanephric adenoma.
Method:
The clinical characteristic, image findings, operation methods and prognosis of 16 metanephric adenoma patients treated at Department of Urology, Peking University First Hospital from January 2004 to March 2016 were analyzed retrospectively.
Results:
There were 6 male and 10 female patients in the study. The mean age of patients was 33.7 years (ranging from 14 to 83 years). Two patients came to the hospital because of fever, while other 14 patients had no symptoms and found renal tumor by medical examination. One case was found polythemia vera and another 1 case showed mild anemia. Serum creatine of all the cases were in normal range. The tumor of 11 cases were at left side and 5 cases were at right. All patients took urinary tract ultrasound. Fifteen patients took CT examination. Among them, 14 cases were solid mass and 1 case was cystosolid.CT value was (41±4) HU. CT scan showed that the tumor was slight enhanced and CT value increased to (77±9) HU. Six patients took MRI examination. The MRI showed high or low signal of T1WI or T2WI scans.Tumor size was (4.7±3.9)cm (ranging from 1.7 to 17.5 cm). All 16 patients took operation and 11 of them took laparoscopic surgery while the other 5 cases took open surgery. Eleven cases took partial nephrectomy, 4 cases took nephrectomy and 1 case took nephroureterectomy. The surgical procedures were all successful and no complications occured during perioperative period. All cases were all confirmed metanephric adenoma by postoperative pathology and surgery cut edge were all negative. Immunohistochemical study showed that the positive rate of Vimentin, CD57, AE1/AE3, WT1, CK7 and AMACR respectively were 16/16, 15/16, 12/16, 10/16, 3/16 and 2/16. The median follow-up time of 16 cases was 44 months (ranging from 8 to 125 months) and none had recurrence or metastasis.One case died 125 months after surgery because of advanced age(83 years old).
Conclusions
Metanephric adenoma is difficult to be diagnosed relying on clinical characteristics and image features. Pathology can help confirm the diagnosis. Partial nephrectomy is the first choice for operation and can achieve good prognosis. But it still needs a regular follow-up.
