Objective:To investigate the molecular mechanism of miR-886-5p targeting BCL-2-associated X protein (BAX) to inhibit the proliferation, migration, and invasion of liver cancer cells.Methods:mRNA expression data of HCC patients were obtained from the Starbase database, including 370 liver cancer samples and 50 normal liver tissue samples adjacent to the cancer. Analyze the expression of miR-886-5p in the previously obtained data and investigate the relationship between miR-886-5p and BAX in liver cancer samples. After transfection of the corresponding plasmids into Huh7 and HepG2 cells, the following groups were established. Analyze the interaction between miR-886-5p and BAX in vitro, detect the protein expression by Western blotting, and verify the targeting relationship between the two by dual luciferase reporter gene assay.Results:Starbase database analysis found that the standardized expression level of miR-886-5p in 370 liver cancer samples was lower than that in normal liver tissue samples (0.12±0.07 vs. 0.73±0.27, t=-15.71, P<0.001), and the expression level of miR-886-5p was positively correlated with the expression level of BAX ( r=0.152, P=0.003). qRT-PCR analysis showed that the expression level of miR-886-5p in HL-7702 cells was higher than that in Huh7 (4.57±0.06 vs. 1.61±0.40, t=32.48) and HepG2 (4.57±0.06 vs. 1.03±0.13, t=143.9), and the expression level of BAX in HL-7702 cells was higher than that in Huh7 (4.01±0.12 vs. 1.28±0.09, t=82.20) and HepG2 (4.01±0.12 vs. 1.30±0.11, t=80.76), the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.001). The proliferation, migration, and invasion abilities of Huh7 and HepG2 cells decreased after transfection with miR-886-5p mimics, while the expression levels of BAX at the mRNA and protein levels increased. However, after inhibiting the expression of miR-886-5p, the above indicators of cells were the opposite, and the dif-ferences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). The viability, EdU positivity rate, cell migration rate, and number of transmembrane cells in the miR-886-5p+ BAX group were lower than those in the BAX group, and the relative expression levels of miR-886-5p, BAX mRNA, and BAX protein were higher than those in the BAX group. However, the above indicators in the Sponge+ BAX group showed opposite trends, and all differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). There was a targeted binding site between miR-886-5p and BAX. Conclusion:Both miR-886-5p and BAX are downregulated in liver cancer, and miR-886-5p inhibits the proliferation, migration, and invasion of liver cancer cells by targeting BAX.

OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the safety and prognostic factors influencing the treatment of upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) combined with bladder cancer (BCa) by laparoscopic simultaneous radical cystectomy and nephroureterectomy (RCNU).
METHODS:
The clinical data of patients admitted to Peking University Third Hospital for laparoscopic RCNU surgery from January 2009 to September 2023 were analyzed retrospectively. Based on the same gender, age (±5 years), history of uroepithelial tumors, underlying diseases, T-stage, N-stage, M-stage, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score, Charlson comorbidity index, and body mass index (BMI) (±5), 34 patients with RCNU were matched 1 ∶1 with patients with bladder cancer who underwent laparoscopic radical cystectomy (RC) alone. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was used to calculate patient survival, and Cox proportional regression risk model was used to analyze clinical factors affecting prognosis.
RESULTS:
Of the 68 patients enrolled, the follow-up rate was 100% with a median follow-up time of 27.0 (11.7, 60.2) months. Comparison of intraoperative conditions (including operation time, estimated intraoperative bleeding, intra-operative blood transfusion, etc.) between the two groups of patients showed no significant difference (P>0.05). Comparison of preoperative creatinine and postoperative creatinine between the two groups of patients showed significant differences (P < 0.05). The perioperative Clavien grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ complication rates were 2.9% (1/34) in the RC group and 5.9% (2/34) in the RCNU group. There was no significant difference in terms of perioperative complications between the two groups. Overall survival was significantly lower in the patients receiving RCNU compared with the matched group receiving RC alone (P < 0.05). Cox regression analysis suggested that two factors, high N stage and high postoperative creatinine, were independent risk factors affecting the prognosis of patients in the 2 groups (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION
The overall survival prognosis of patients undergoing RCNU surgery was worse compared with laparoscopic RC surgery alone during the same period. There was no clinically significant difference between the two groups in terms of operation time, intraoperative bleeding, and perioperative complications, and there were clinically significant differences in preoperative renal function and post-operative renal function.

Objective:To compare the efficacy and clinical practicality of fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), thinprep cytology test (TCT), urine nuclear matrix protein 22 (NMP22) and urine cytology test in the diagnosis of upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC). Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 62 patients who underwent surgical treatment (biopsy or partial urothelial resection) for suspected UTUC in the Department of Urology, Peking University Third Hospital from January 2021 to December 2023, and received paraffin pathological diagnosis. Taking the pathological examination results as the diagnostic criteria, the sensitivity, specificity, Youden index, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of the four detection methods in the diagnosis of UTUC were calculated, and the cost-effectiveness analysis was performed. Combine the four detection methods in pairs, calculate the sensitivity, specificity and Youden index after the combination, and conduct a cost-effectiveness analysis. The comparison of sensitivity, specificity and Youden index of the four detection methods was conducted using Chi-test or Fisher exact probability method. The comparison between groups after pairwise combinations was also conducted using Chi-test or Fisher exact probability method. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was plotted and the area under the curve (AUC) was calculated.Results:The sensitivity (81.1%, 77.4%) and Youden index (0.700, 0.774) of FISH group and TCT group were significantly higher than those of NMP22 group and urine cytology group (39.6%, 43.4%; 0.174, 0.434), and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.008 3). There were no statistically significant in the specificity (88.9%, 100.0%, 77.8%, 100.0%), positive predictive value (97.7%, 100.0%, 91.3%, 100.0%) and negative predictive value (44.4%, 42.9%, 17.9%, 23.1%) of the four groups ( P>0.008 3). The cost-effectiveness of the FISH group (3 256.4) was significantly higher than that of the TCT group (409.4), the NMP22 group (398.2) and the urine cytology group (627.9). After being combined in pairs, the net sensitivity of NMP22+ urine cytology (45.3%) was significantly lower than that of FISH+ TCT(88.7%), TCT+ NMP22(81.1%), FISH+ NMP22(86.8%), FISH + urine cytology (84.9%), TCT+ urine cytology (86.8%), and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.008 3). The net specificities of the above combinations were 77.8%, 88.9%, 77.8%, 88.9%, 100.0%, respectively, and the differences were not statistically significant ( P>0.008 3). The cost-effectiveness was 1 008.0, 3 393.5, 632.8, 3 345.0, 3 513.5, and 737.3, respectively. Conclusions:In the diagnosis of UTUC, TCT has the highest diagnostic efficacy and relatively low cost, and is recommended for widespread promotion and application in clinical practice. If the patients economic conditions permit, it is recommended to combine TCT with urine cytology.

Objective:To explore the clinical characteristics and prognostic factors of primary bladder adenocarcinoma(ACB).Methods:The clinical data of 33 patients with primary ACB who underwent surgical treatment in the Department of Urology of Peking University Third Hospital from July 2003 to January 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 5 females and 28 males,with an average age of(61.3 ± 11.5)years. Twelve patients had comorbidities(6 hypertension,2 coronary heart disease,5 diabetes mellitus,and 3 cerebrovascular diseases)and 12 had a smoking history. The mean body mass index(BMI)was(24.8 ± 3.2)kg/m 2. The maximum tumor diameter measured by enhanced computed tomography(CT)was(29.7 ± 12.7)mm. The preoperative neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio(NLR)was 3.4 ± 3.2,and the systemic immune-inflammation index(SII)was(582 ± 496)× 10 9/L.Patients were divided into two groups according to the surgical approach:the radical cystectomy group( n = 23)and the bladder-sparing group( n = 10). For the radical cystectomy group,there were 19 males and 4 females,with a mean age of(59.9 ± 12.6)years. Five patients had comorbidities(3 hypertension,1 coronary heart disease,1 diabetes mellitus,and 2 cerebrovascular diseases). Eight patients had a smoking history,with a mean BMI of(25.2 ± 3.5)kg/m 2. The maximum tumor diameter was(33.6 ± 10.9)mm,the preoperative NLR was 3.5 ± 3.5,and the SII was(618 ± 558)× 10 9/L. For the bladder-sparing group,there were 9 males and 1 female,with a mean age of(64.5 ± 8.2)years. Seven patients had comorbidities(3 hypertension,1 coronary heart disease,4 diabetes mellitus,and 1 cerebrovascular diseases). Four patients had a smoking history,with a mean BMI of(23.5 ± 2.3)kg/m 2. The maximum tumor diameter was(20.7 ± 12.5)mm,the preoperative NLR was 3.1 ± 2.2,and the SII was(501 ± 323)× 10 9/L. Statistically significant differences were observed between the two groups in terms of comorbidities( P = 0.008)and maximum tumor diameter( P = 0.006),while no significant differences were found in other data( P > 0.05). The Kaplan-Meier survival curve was drawn,and Cox regression was used to analyze the prognostic factors of progression-free survival(PFS)and overall survival(OS)of patients. Results:Among the 33 patients,low-grade adenocarcinoma and high-grade adenocarcinoma accounted for 60.6% and 39.4% respectively according to the postoperative pathology,and 3 patients had positive surgical margins. There were 22 cases of muscle-invasive bladder adenocarcinoma,5 cases of lymph node metastasis,and 1 case of distant metastasis. The patients in tumor stages Ⅰ—Ⅳ were 9 cases(27.3%),8 cases(24.2%),7 cases(21.2%),and 9 cases(27.3%)respectively. Nine patients received postoperative adjuvant therapy,including 6 with adjuvant chemotherapy,2 with adjuvant chemotherapy combined with radiotherapy,and 1 with adjuvant immunotherapy. In the radical cystectomy group( n = 23),there were 13 cases of low-grade and 10 cases of high-grade pathological grading,2 cases with positive margins,19 cases of muscle-invasive bladder adenocarcinoma,5 cases of lymph node metastasis,1 case of distant metastasis,and 5 patients received adjuvant therapy(4 cases of adjuvant chemotherapy,and 1 case of adjuvant immunotherapy). In the bladder-sparing group( n = 10),there were 7 cases of low-grade,3 cases of high-grade pathological grading,1 case with positive margins,3 cases of muscle-invasive bladder adenocarcinoma,zero lymph node or distant metastasis,and 4 patients received adjuvant therapy(2 cases of adjuvant chemotherapy,and 2 cases of combined adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy). A statistically significant difference was found in the proportion of muscle-invasive bladder adenocarcinoma between the two groups( P = 0.006),while no significant differences were observed in other data( P > 0.05).The median follow-up duration of the patients was 28.0 months,the median PFS was 86.0 months,and the median OS was 90.0 months. The 2-year PFS and OS were 65.4% and 73.1% respectively. The 5-year PFS and OS were 54.2% and 56.5% respectively. The Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that there were no significant differences in PFS( P = 0.777)and OS( P = 0.585)between the radical cystectomy group and the bladder-preserving group. Female( P = 0.011),BMI < 25 kg/m2( P = 0.038),and positive surgical margins( P < 0.01)were associated with poorer PFS. Aged ≥ 70 years( P = 0.003),lymph node metastasis( P = 0.041),and positive surgical margins( P = 0.025)were associated with poorer OS,and patients in the adjuvant therapy group had better OS( P = 0.005). Multivariate Cox regression analysis indicated that positive surgical margins(HR 10.2, P = 0.012)were an independent impact factor for PFS,and positive surgical margins(HR 39.8, P = 0.001)and adjuvant therapy(HR 0.12, P = 0.021)were independent impact factors for OS. Conclusions:Positive surgical margins and adjuvant therapy are independent impact factors for the prognosis of patients with primary ACB.

Squamosa promoter binding protein-like (SPL) family is a group of important transcription factors involved in the regulation of plant growth and development and the response to environmental stress, but there are few studies in perennial fruit trees such as citrus. In this study, Ziyang Xiangcheng (Citrus junos Sib.ex Tanaka), an important rootstock of Citrus, was used as the material for analysis. Based on plantTFDB transcription factor database and sweet orange genome database, 15 SPL family members were genome-widely identified and cloned from Ziyang Xiangcheng, and named CjSPL1-CjSPL15. Sequence analysis showed that the open reading frame (ORF) length of CjSPLs ranged from 393 bp to 2 865 bp, encoding 130-954 amino acids. Phylogenetic tree divided 15 CjSPLs into 9 subfamilies. Gene structure and conserved domain analysis predicted 20 different conserved motifs and SBP basic domains. Analysis of cis-acting promoter elements predicted 20 different promoter elements, including those related to plant growth and development, abiotic stress and secondary metabolites. The expression patterns of CjSPLs under drought, salt and low temperature stresses were analyzed by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR), and many CjSPLs were significantly up-regulated after stress treatment. This study provides a reference for further study on the function of SPL family transcription factors in citrus and other fruit trees.

Results:IM mainly occurred in children aged 5 months to 18 years old in autumn and spring.The highest incidence rate (105 cases, 38.9%) was 3-<6 years old (preschoolers). There were 253 cases (93.7%) with fever, 266 cases (98.5%) with adenopharyngitis, 196 cases (72.6%) with tonsil pseudomembrane or exudation, 248 cases (91.9%) with cervical lymphadenopathy, 92 cases (34.1%) with eyelid edema, 202 cases (74.8%) with nasal obstruction, 124 cases (45.9%) with nasal obstruction and snoring, 24 cases (8.9%) with rash, and 112 cases (41.5%) with splenomegaly.A total of 225 cases (83.3%) presented with typical triplets of IM (fever, adenopharyngitis and cervical lymphadenopathy). Sixty-two IM patients were complicated with pulmonary infections and 3 cases with diarrhea.The main co-infection pathogens in children with IM were Mycoplasma pneumonia (MP) (79 cases, 29.3%), influenza A or B virus (34 cases, 12.6%), Streptococcus pneumonia (SP) (18 cases, 6.7%), adenovirus (22 cases, 8.1%) and cytomegalovirus (3 cases, 1.11%). A total of 46 cases (17.0%) had multiple infections.Laboratory test results suggested that absolute lymphocyte count ≥5.0×10 9/L was found in 199 cases (73.7%), and abnormal lymphocyte ratio >0.10 was found in 225 cases (83.3%). Some children had elevated transaminase levels.Epstein-Barr virus capsid antigen-immunoglobulin M (EBV-VCA-IgM) was positive in 249 cases (92.2%), Epstein-Barr virus capsid antigen-immunoglobulin G (EBV-VCA-IgG) was positive in 238 cases (88.1%), and Epstein-Barr virus nuclear antigen-immunoglobulin G (EBV-NA-IgG) was negative in all cases.EBV-VCA-IgG showed low affinity in all cases (<40%). EBV DNA tests of peripheral blood plasma were carried in 153 cases, of which 118 cases (77.1%) were positive. Conclusions:EBV related IM mainly attacks preschoolers.Most patients are presented with typical triplets of IM.Eyelid edema, nasal obstruction, snoring, splenomegaly and elevated transaminase levels are prevalent in IM children.Most cases have a favorable prognosis.

Objective:To investigate the safety and effectiveness of cytoreductive nephrectomy and tumor thrombectomy in patients with metastatic renal cancer with renal vein or inferior vena cava tumor thrombus.Methods:From February 2015 to May 2019, 56 cases of metastatic renal cell carcinoma with venous tumor thrombus were analyzed retrospectively, including 44 male (78.6%) and 12 female (21.4%)cases, and the average age was (59.2±10.7)(22-82). The clinical presentations covered local symptoms in 26 cases (46.4%), systemic symptoms in 8 cases (14.3%), both local symptoms and systemic symptoms in 12 cases (21.4%), and asymptomatic in 10 cases (17.9%). Among them, renal tumors were located in 35 cases (62.5%) on the right and 21 cases (37.5%) on the left. The average tumor diameter was (10.1±3.8)(1.5-21.1) cm. Forty-five cases (80.4%) scored 2 points and 11 cases (19.6%) scored 3 points by the American Society of anesthesiologists(ASA). Preoperative hemoglobin was (118.2±23.1)(72-178) g/L, and albumin was (37.9±5.6)(23-50) g/L, total protein was (67.7±6.7)(43-81) g/L, serum creatinine was (111.3±119.6)(32-958) μmol/L. There were 16 cases of Mayo 0 (28.6%), 14 cases of Mayo Ⅰ(25.0%), 17 cases of Mayo Ⅱ(30.4%), 4 cases of Mayo Ⅲ(7.1%), and 5 cases of Mayo Ⅳ(8.9%). Fourteen cases (25.0%) were in the stage of cN 0 and 42 cases (75.0%) in the stage of cN 1. Five cases (8.9%) had simple bone metastasis, 16 cases (28.6%) had simple lung metastasis, 2 cases (3.6%) had simple adrenal metastasis, 6 cases (10.7%) had simple liver metastasis, and 27 cases (48.2%) had 2 or more multiple system metastasis. According to the location of the organ system, 91 metastatic lesions were found in 56 patients. Among them, 37 cases (40.7%) had lung metastasis, 18 cases (19.8%) had liver metastasis, 21 cases (23.1%) had bone metastasis and 15 cases (16.5%) had adrenal metastasis. All 56 patients belonged to IMDC prognosis score model medium risk group. The surgical treatment of Mayo grade 0 tumor thrombus was the same as that of routine radical nephrectomy. The tumor thrombus of Mayo grade Ⅰ was removed after IVC was partially blocked by Satinsky′s forceps. The Mayo Ⅱ tumor thrombus was removed, after blocking the distal vena cava, the contralateral renal vein and the proximal vena cava. Mayo grade Ⅲ tumor thrombus needed pringer's method to block the first porta hepatis. For grade Ⅳ tumor thrombus the diaphragm could be cut directly, or the thrombus could be removed by cardiopulmonary bypass. Laparoscopic surgery was performed in 22 cases (39.3%) and open surgery in 30 cases (53.6%). Six cases (10.7%) underwent IVC wall resection because of tumor invasion. 32 cases (57.1%) underwent ipsilateral adrenalectomy because of tumor invasion or adrenal metastasis, and 23 cases (41.1%) underwent ipsilateral lymphadenectomy. In this study, there were 11 cases of solitary metastasis, 8 cases of which were operated on and 3 cases of which were not operated on. Forty-three patients were treated with sunitinib after palliative nephrectomy, 9 patients were treated with pazopanib, 3 patients were treated with acitinib, and 1 patient was treated with sorafenib. Results:The operations were successfully completed in 56 patients. Four cases (7.1%) changed from laparoscopic surgery to open surgery. The operation time was (326.8±114.9)(108-589) min. Intraoperative hemorrhage was (1 435.2±1 513.4)(20-6 000) ml, intraoperative red blood cells transfusion was (1 456.7±832.8)(400-3 600) ml in 30 cases, and intraoperative plasma transfusion was (700.0±473.6)(200-1 800) ml in 15 cases. The postoperative hospital stay was (10.6±4.6)(5-26) days. The serum creatinine one week after operation was (109.5±98.7) (47-772) μmol/L. There were 46 cases (82.1%) of renal clear cell carcinoma, 7 cases (12.5%) of papillary renal cell carcinoma and 3 cases (5.4%) of unclassified renal cell carcinoma. One case was WHO/ISUP 2016 nuclear grade 1 (1.8%), 20 cases(36.4%) was grade 2, 18 cases(32.7%)was grade 3, and 16 cases(29.1%)was grade 4. Early postoperative complications occurred in 22 cases (39.3%). Among them, 1 case of Clavien gradeⅠ was wound infection. There were 16 cases with Clavien gradeⅡ, including 5 cases who received blood transfusion due to anemia, 3 cases with chylous fistula, 4 cases with postoperative pulmonary infection, 2 cases with postoperative lower extremity venous thrombosis, 1 case with atrial fibrillation and 1 case with epididymitis. Clavien gradeⅢ a was found in 1 case with pneumothorax. Clavien gradeⅣ was found in 2 cases, including 1 case of acute cerebral infarction and 1 case of renal insufficiency.There were 2 cases with Clavien gradeⅤ with perioperative death. Among the 56 patients, 5 lost the follow-up, 2 died during the perioperative period, and the other 49 patients were followed up for 1-39 months, with a median follow-up of 14 months. The mean survival time was (25.6±2.5) months, and the median survival time was 25 months.Conclusions:It was relatively safe and effective to perform cytoreductive nephrectomy and tumor thrombectomy in patients with metastatic renal cancer with tumor thrombus. For the patients with clinical symptoms, IMDC prognosis score model medium risk group, and strong desire for surgery, the combination of cytoreductive nephrectomy with tumor thrombectomy and postoperative targeted medical therapy was recommended.
