Objective To investigate the prognostic differences among pure urothelial carcinoma,squamous-differentiated urothelial carcinoma,and pure squamous cell carcinoma,so as to provide reference for postoperative risk stratification.Methods The clinical data of bladder cancer patients who visited the Department of Urology,Peking University First Hospital and underwent radical cystectomy during Jan.2005 and Jun.2024 were retrospectively analyzed.Patients were categorized into the pure urothelial carcinoma group(n=725),squamous-differentiated urothelial carcinoma group(n=189),and pure squamous cell carcinoma group(n=36).General characteristics,surgical approaches,pathological staging,muscle invasion status,and lymph node positivity were compared among the three groups.Kaplan-Meier survival curves were plotted,and prognostic differences among the groups were compared after 1∶1 propensity score matching between each pair.Independent risk factors of prognosis were identified with Cox multivariable regression.Results The pure squamous cell carcinoma group had a higher proportion of female patients(50.00%vs.25.24%vs.22.75%,P=0.002 4).Compared with the pure urothelial carcinoma group,the other two groups demonstrated higher proportions of stage Ⅲ+Ⅳ,higher rates of muscle invasion,and higher lymph node positivity,with the pure squamous cell carcinoma group showing the highest overall staging(69.45%vs.58.20%vs.29.38%,P<0.000 1).Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that squamous-differentiated urothelial carcinoma group and pure squamous cell carcinoma group had significantly worse survival than the pure urothelial carcinoma group(P<0.05),while the former two groups exhibited similar outcomes(P=0.85).After propensity score matching,postoperative survival curves among the three groups were not significantly different(all P>0.05).In multivariable Cox proportional hazards models adjusting for confounders,prognosis was primarily associated with age,muscle invasion,and lymph-node positivity(P<0.05);pathological subtype was not an independent predictor of postoperative survival.Conclusion In a cohort of non-metastatic patients undergoing radical cystectomy,pure squamous cell carcinoma and squamous-differentiated urothelial carcinoma presented with higher clinical and pathological staging and poorer unadjusted prognosis compared with pure urothelial carcinoma.However,postoperative survival did not differ significantly among the three groups in the same clinicopathological conditions.

Objective To investigate the risk factors of cognitive impairment associated with early post-acute stroke seizures (EPASS). Methods One hundred and sixty-eight eligible patients were recruited in the study. Patients were divided into cognitive impairment group and non-cognitive disorder group according to MMSE. General clinical data, severity of the stroke, location and extent of infarction, characteristics of epileptic seizures were compared between the two groups. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was utilized to investigate the independent risk factors of EPASS related cognitive impairment. Results Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that moderate to severe stroke (OR=4.386, P=0.006), cortical infarction (OR=6.430, P=0.012), general tonic clonic seizure (OR=8.189, P=0.004), seizure frequency≥1 time per day (OR=12.818, P<0.001) were the independent risk factors for cognitive impairment in EPASS. Conclusions Patients with moderate to severe stroke, cortical infarction, general tonic clonic seizure and seizure frequency≥1 time per day may have a higher risk of cognitive impairment.

Aptamers are DNA or RNA fragments that can specifically bind to target substances.Because of the excellent properties such as strong binding force,high specificity,small physical size,chemical synthesis and modification,good biocompatibility,and low immunogenicity aptamers show wide application propects in biomedical researches.Aptamers can also bind specifically to receptors on the surface of cell membranes,and mediate the endocytosis of nanoparticles into cells,making them ideal drug targeting ligands.Organic nanomaterials have excellent application value in nanodrug delivery system because of their good biocompatibility and degradability.In this paper,the recent research progress of aptamers and organic nanomaterials drug delivery systems was reviewed.

Objective To Evaluate the environment quality in underground construction site based on the measurement of atmosphere composition and microclimate. Method Concentrations and composition of gases were analyzed by combined detection with mass spectrometer and gas chromatograph. Microbial content was detected by striking method. A microclimate model was built based on the measurements of temperature, humidity and wind speed in two years. Result Concentrations of inorganic gas was higher than national standard. Total volatile organic compounds were in the range of 4~6 mg/m3, which highly exceeded the national standard. Concentration of O2 descended obviously at the time when personnel went into the construction site, and was lower than the national standard of 299 mg/m3 after continuous working for 3 h. When an aerator was started, the average noise level was in the range of 70~93 dB, which was higher than the national standard(55~70 dB). In the course of working, the average microbial content reached 4 000 cfu/m3 which was 3 times as high as the background level. The microclimate characteristic with high humidity, low temperature and inadequate sunshine was unsuitable for dwelling. Conclusion Environment in the underground construction site is unfavorable as compared with that on the ground. The physiological function of working staff may be influenced obviously due to cumulative effect of the above mentioned factors, and may lead to aprosexia, hypomnesis, fatigue, etc. Six kinds of protection means are suggested in the paper.
