Objective:To analyze the short-term efficacy and safety of robot-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy(RAPN)for non-metastatic pathological stage T 3a renal cell carcinoma. Methods:The clinical and pathological data of 45 patients with pathologically confirmed non-metastatic T 3a renal cell carcinoma who underwent RAPN at Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center between January 2016 and December 2023 were retrospectively reviewed. There were 30 males and 15 females. The average age of the cohort was(54.3±10.7)years,and the average clinical tumor diameter was(4.9±1.8)cm. Of all the patients,35(77.8%)were asymptomatic,7(15.6%)presented with hematuria,and 3(6.7%)presented with lumbar pain. Preoperative imaging assessed 34 patients(75.6%)as having clinical stage T 3a,all suspected of involving the collecting system or perirenal fat invasion;the remaining 11 patients(24.4%)were assessed as having stage T 1-2 disease. The median R.E.N.A.L. nephrectomy score was 8.0(7.0,10.0). A history of hypertension,diabetes,or chronic kidney disease was present in 18 patients(40.0%). The primary endpoint was progression-free survival,and the secondary endpoints included postoperative complications and short-term renal function outcomes. Survival curve was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method,and renal function comparisons were made using the paired t-test. Results:The RAPN was performed through a transabdominal approach in 32 patients(71.1%),with a median estimated blood loss of 150.0(50.0,300.0)ml. Seven(15.6%)patients required intraoperative blood transfusion. The median length of postoperative hospital stay was 4.0(4.0,6.0)days. Postoperative complications occurred in 6 patients(13.3%),including 5(11.1%)with mild complications and 1(2.2%)with a severe complication. Renal function returned to baseline in 24 of 39 evaluable patients(61.5%),while 3 patients(7.7%)developed surgery-related chronic kidney disease 3 to 12 months postoperatively,but none required dialysis. The median follow-up time was 31.8(22.7,50.9)months,12(26.7%)patients received programmed cell death protein 1 inhibitor adjuvant therapy postoperatively. During follow-up,3 patients experienced tumor recurrence,the 3-year progression-free survival rate of the entire cohort was 95.4%.Conclusions:For some carefully selected patients with T 3a renal cell carcinoma,RAPN performed by experienced surgeons is a feasible and safe option,providing excellent short-term oncological outcomes,complication control,and renal function recovery. The long-term efficacy remains to be seen.

Objective:To investigate the current situation of the use of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) for portal hypertension, which should aid the development of TIPS in China.Methods:The China Portal Hypertension Alliance (CHESS) initiated this study that comprehensively investigated the basic situation of TIPS for portal hypertension in China through network research. The survey included the following: the number of surgical cases, main indications, the development of Early-TIPS, TIPS for portal vein cavernous transformation, collateral circulation embolization, intraoperative portal pressure gradient measurement, commonly used stent types, conventional anticoagulation and time, postoperative follow-up, obstacles, and the application of domestic instruments.Results:According to the survey, a total of 13 527 TIPS operations were carried out in 545 hospitals participating in the survey in 2021, and 94.1% of the hospital had the habit of routine follow-up after TIPS. Most hospitals believed that the main indications of TIPS were the control of acute bleeding (42.6%) and the prevention of rebleeding (40.7%). 48.1% of the teams carried out early or priority TIPS, 53.0% of the teams carried out TIPS for the cavernous transformation of the portal vein, and 81.0% chose routine embolization of collateral circulation during operation. Most of them used coils and biological glue as embolic materials, and 78.5% of the team routinely performed intraoperative portal pressure gradient measurements. In selecting TIPS stents, 57.1% of the hospitals woulel choose Viator-specific stents, 57.2% woulel choose conventional anticoagulation after TIPS, and the duration of anticoagulation was between 3-6 months (55.4%). The limitation of TIPS surgery was mainly due to cost (72.3%) and insufficient understanding of doctors in related departments (77.4%). Most teams accepted the domestic instruments used in TIPS (92.7%).Conclusions:This survey shows that TIPS treatment is an essential part of treating portal hypertension in China. The total number of TIPS cases is far from that of patients with portal hypertension. In the future, it is still necessary to popularize TIPS technology and further standardize surgical indications, routine operations, and instrument application.

Background Silicosis is an occupational disease mainly characterized by pulmonary progressive fibrosis induced by the accumulation of free silica (SiO2) in the lungs due to long-term exposure to SiO2 dust. It has been shown that neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are increased in the lung tissues of silicotic mice after 28 d SiO2 exposure, but it is unclear how the levels of NETs change throughout entire progression of silicosis in mice. Objective To observe the levels of NETs and pathological changes in the lungs of silicotic mice after different duration of SiO2 exposure, and to confirm the possible role and significance of NETsin the development of SiO2-induced pulmonary fibrosis. Methods A total of 28 SPF male C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into a control group, and a model group, and the model group was subdivided into, a 2 d model group, a 7 d model group, and a 28 d model group, with 7 mice in each group. The mice in the model groups were given intratracheal instillation with 10 mg SiO2 suspension (50 μL), and the mice in the control group were received same volume of saline. Mice were sacrificed and samples were collected at designed time points. The pathological changes of lung tissues of mice were observed after hematoxylin-eosin (HE) and Van Gieson (VG) staining. Immunofluorescence was used to observe the NETs markers citrullination histone H3 (CitH3) and myeloperoxidase (MPO) in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), and the percentage of NETs-positive cells was calculated. PicoGreen fluorescent dye kit was used to detect the content of extracelluar DNA (ex-DNA) in mouse BALF, and the expression levels of fibrosis-related proteins α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) and fibronectin (FN) and NETs marker CitH3 in lung tissues of mice were detected by Western blot (WB). Results Compared with the control group, inflammatory cells accumulation, alveolar wall thickening, and collagen deposition were obviously observed in the lungs of the silicosis model groups, and a large number of silicone nodules were recorded in the lung tissues in the 28 d group. Compared with the control group, the expressions of α-SMA and FN in the lung tissue of the 28 d group were significantly increased (P<0.05). The percentages of NETs in BALF increased significantly in the 2 d and the 7 d model group, then decreased in the 28 d model group (P<0.05). Compared with the control group (7.434±0.258) ng·mL−1, the ex-DNA levels in BALF of mice in the 2 d [(35.110±6.331) ng·mL−1], the 7 d [(39.491±6.948) ng·mL−1], and the 28 d [(23.360±4.809) ng·mL−1] model groups were increased (P<0.05), and the increase of ex-DNA in the 2 d and the 7 d model groups were statistically significant (P<0.05). In comparison with the control group, the protein level of CitH3 was significantly increased in the lung tissues of mice in the 7 d model group (P<0.05). Conclusion The content of NETs increases significantly and reaches a peak in the early inflammatory stage of silicosis, and decreases as the disease progresses to the fibrotic stage, suggesting that NETs may play a role in early stage of silicosis.
