BACKGROUND:
Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome is a severe congenital disorder characterized by vaginal hypoplasia caused by dysplasia of the Müllerian duct. Patients with MRKH syndrome often require nonsurgical or surgical treatment to achieve satisfactory vaginal length and sexual outcomes. The extracellular matrix has been successfully used for vaginal reconstruction.
METHODS:
In this study, we developed a new biological material derived from porcine vagina (acellular vaginal matrix, AVM) to reconstruct the vagina in Bama miniature pigs. The histological characteristics and efficacy of acellularization of AVM were evaluated, and AVM was subsequently transplanted into Bama miniature pigs to reconstruct the vaginas.
RESULTS:
Macroscopic analysis showed that the neovaginas functioned well in all Bama miniature pigs with AVM implants. Histological analysis and electrophysiological evidence indicated that morphological and functional recovery was restored in normal vaginal tissues. Scanning electron microscopy showed that the neovaginas had mucosal folds characteristics of normal vagina. No significant differences were observed in the expression of CK14, HSP47, and a-actin between the neovaginas and normal vaginal tissues. However, the expression of estrogen receptor (ER) was significantly lower in the neovaginas than in normal vaginal tissues. In addition, AVM promoted the expression of b-catenin, c-Myc, and cyclin D1. These results suggest that AVM might promotes vaginal regeneration by activating the b-catenin/cMyc/cyclin D1 pathway.
CONCLUSION
This study reveals that porcine-derived AVM has potential application for vaginal regeneration.

Objective:To explore the relationship between renal ultrasound shear wave elastography (SWE) and renal biopsy pathology in patients with primary glomerulonephritis (PGN).Methods:A total of 137 confirmed PGN patients admitted to Bin hai wan Central Hospital of Dongguan from January 2021 to March 2023 were selected as the study subjects for quantitative analysis of renal SWE and pathological examination of renal biopsy. The differences in renal elastic modulus among different pathological types, as well as the relationship between renal elastic modulus and pathological factors of renal biopsy and IgA nephropathy Lee grading, were analyzed.Results:IgA nephropathy, membranous nephropathy, and minimal degenerative glomerulopathy were the most common pathological types of PGN, and the difference in renal elastic modulus among the three was not statistically significant (all P>0.05). The maximum elastic modulus of the immune complex deposition positive group was greater than that of the negative group ( P<0.05). The average, median, and maximum elastic modulus of the group with severe degree of foot cell fusion were lower than those of the group with mild degree of foot process fusion (all P<0.05). The average and maximum values of elastic modulus in the group with mesangial eosinophil deposition were higher than those in the group without mesangial eosinophil deposition (all P<0.05), while the maximum value of elastic modulus in the group with pericystic fibrosis was lower than that in the group without pericystic fibrosis ( P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the renal elastic modulus values among the Lee grading subgroups of 61 IgA nephropathy cases (all P>0.05), and there was no correlation between Lee grading and renal elastic modulus values ( P>0.05). There was no statistically significant correlation analysis between the renal elastic modulus value and the glomerular sclerosis rate, the degree of mesangial cell and matrix proliferation, and the percentage of renal tubular atrophy area (all P>0.05). Conclusions:SWE is expected to provide new imaging diagnostic indicators for monitoring pathological damage factors in PGN. SWE may not be able to efficiently monitor the pathological progression of IgA nephropathy.

Objective:To analyze the abnormal dose monitoring result of radiation staff in medical institutions and provide a basis for standardizing the personal dose management of radiation staff in medical institutions.Methods:Through the occupational radiation disease monitoring subsystem of the National Radiation Health Information Platform, 516 individual dose monitoring abnormal result of 410 radiation workers in a single monitoring period, which in 168 medical institutions under the 18 cities in Henan province were collected from 2020 to 2022 as research objects. Based on gender, age, length of service, occupational category, medical institution level, whether the dosimeter wearing standard, the abnormal result of radiation workers were grouped to analyze the influencing factors of individual dose monitoring result.Results:The incidence of abnormal individual dose monitoring result in 2020-2022 was 6.83 × 10 -3, 5.22 × 10 -3 and 6.30 × 10 -3, respectively. Abnormal results were mainly distributed in male radiology workers (66.83%), diagnostic radiology (59.51%) and interventional radiology (34.63%), tertiary (54.39%) and secondary medical institutions (36.34%). In the case of wearing personal dosimeter in a standard or irregular way, there were statistically significant differences in the incidence of abnormal outcomes between different levels of medical institutions and different occupational categories( χ2=14.42, 6.56, 32.96, 177.15, P<0.05). The median annual individual dose of radiology workers with " abnormal exposure dose" due to increased workload was 3.95 mSv, and the annual individual dose of interventional radiology workers was higher than that of radiotherapeutic workers ( Z=5.07, P<0.05). Conclusions:The education and training of radiological protection should be strengthened, and the wearing of individual dosimeters should be standardized; focus on the occupational exposure of interventional radiology staff, and take effective measures to reduce their exposure dose.

Objective:To summarize the clinical characteristics、diagnosis and treatment experience of children with reobstruction after pyeloplasty.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients admitted to the Department of Urology, Beijing Children's Hospital from January 2015 to April 2022. Due to the unrelieved hydronephroplasty after the primary pyeloplasty, the anterior and posterior diameter of the pelvis was larger than that before the primary operation. Intravenous pyelography and diuretic renal radionuclide scanning confirmed the diagnosis of ureteropelvic reobstruction. Or underwent reoperation after undergoing puncture angiography for reobstruction. Fifty-four children were included in the study, 47 males (87.03%) and 7 females (12.96%), with a median age of 51.67(21.30, 117.24)month, and, 38 cases (70.37%) on the left side and 16 cases (29.63%) on the right side. The primary operation was open pyeloplasty (POP) in 20 cases and laparoscopic pyeloplasty (PLP) in 34 cases. 45 patients underwent primary operation in our hospital, and 9 patients were referred from other hospitals after primary operation. The interval between reoperation and initial operation was 7.25(6.15, 15.40)month. There were 28 cases with clinical symptoms before operation, and 26 cases without symptoms but reobstruction on imaging. 21 cases presented with recurrent abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting, and 7 cases presented with recurrent fever and urinary tract infection. All 54 patients underwent re-pyeloplasty after definite diagnosis of re-obstruction. In order to further study the feasibility of RLP, patients in the two groups were divided into RLP and ROP groups according to different surgical procedures. In the RLP group, there were 8 males (72.72%) and 3 females (27.28%). The median age was 82.21(49.83, 114.05) months, and obstruction was located on the left side in 8 cases (72.72%) and the right side in 3 cases (27.28%). There were 3 cases (27.28%) with POP and 8 cases (72.72%) with PLP. The time between the second operation and the primary operation was 12.83 (6.34, 16.86) months. APD before operation was 5.18 (4.25, 6.14) cm. There were 43 cases in the ROP group, including 38 males (88.37%) and 5 females (12.63%). The median age was 52.32 (26.62, 77.35) months; Obstruction was located on the left side in 31 cases (72.09%) and the right side in 12 cases (27.91%). The primary operation was performed in 19 cases (44.19%) with POP and 24 cases (55.81%) with PLP. The time between the second operation and the primary operation was 10.02 (8.03, 15.51) months. Preoperative APD was 5.42 (5.14, 5.90) cm. The causes of obstruction were found in the second operation: there were 28 causes (51.85%) of scar hyperplastic anastomotic stenosis, 7 cases (12.96%) of residual ectopic vascular compression, 8 cases (14.81%) of high ureteral anastomosis, 7 cases (12.96%) of ureteral adhesion distortion, and 4 cases (7.41%) of other causes (1 case of medical glue shell compression, 1 case of luminal polypoid hyperplasia, and 2 cases of complete luminal occlusion). Operation time, postoperative complications, APD, APD improvement rate (PI-APD), renal parenchyma thickness (PT), anteroposterior pelvis diameter/renal parenchyma thickness (APD/PT) at 3 and 6 months after operation were compared between RLP and ROP groups.Results:In this study, 54 patients were followed up with an average follow-up time of (34.41±20.20)month. APD of 3 months after pyeloplasty was 3.29(3.03, 3.52) cm, which was statistically significant compared with 5.45(5.13, 5.77)cm before pyeloplasty ( P=0.02). APD/PT changed from preoperative 21.71(21.08, 31.77)to 5.40(4.79, 6.79)3 months after surgery, and the difference was statistically significant ( P=0.03). The APD improvement rate was 37%(33%, 42%) 3 months after surgery and 49%(44%, 54%) 6 months after surgery. Among the 54 patients, 3 had lumbago and fever after clamping the nephrostomy tube, and 3(5.55%) had sinus angiography indicating that obstruction still existed and required reoperation. Therefore, the success rate of repyeloplasty in this group was 94.45%. Comparing RLP group and ROP group, operation time in RLP group was longer than that in ROP group [169.13(113.45, 210.66)]min vs. 106.83(103.14, 155.32)min, P=0.02]. The length of hospitalization in RLP group was shorter than that in ROP group [7.45(5.62, 9.28)d vs.11.64(10.45, 15.66)d, P=0.03], and the difference was statistically significant. The improvement rate of APD 3 months after surgery was compared between the two groups [30.48%(19.81%, 41.16%) vs.39.96%(35.16%, 47.76%), P=0.15], and the improvement rate of APD 6 months after surgery was compared between the two groups [48.00%(27.19%, 48.81%) vs.52.27%(46.95%, 56.76%), P=0.05], there was no significant difference in the success rate of operation between the two groups (90.90% vs. 95.34%, P=0.63). Conclusions:The common cause of reobstruction after pyeloplasty is cicatricial adhesion stenosis. The operation is challenging, but repyeloplasty can effectively relieve the obstruction and the overall success rate is 94.45%. RLP is a safe and effective surgical method for the treatment of reobstruction, which can achieve comparable surgical results with ROP.
