A case of sarcomatoid renal cell carcinoma was reported. After admission，laparoscopic radical right nephrectomy was performed without postoperative radiotherapy，chemotherapy or immunotherapy. Five months after operation，the tumor recurred，with lung metastasis and tumor thrombus formation in inferior vena cava. Sarcomatoid renal cell carcinoma is extremely rare clinically，with high malignancy，poor prognosis，atypical symptoms，and no specificity in auxiliary examination. CT is the first choice of examination. At present，the diagnosis is mainly by pathological examination and immunohistochemical staining. The treatment of this disease depends mainly on early surgical resection，and it is not sensitive to radiotherapy or chemotherapy.

Prostate cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in men,with rapidly increasing incidence and mortality rates. Cur-rently,the advisability of performing prostate biopsy for men with PI-RADS scores of 1-3 is controversial. Aggressive biopsy may lead to over diagnosis,increasing patient suffering,whereas active surveillance may increase late diagnosis and disease progression. Accurately identify-ing cases that merit prostate biopsy is an important challenge in clinical practice. Recently,numerous studies have explored whether indi-viduals with PI-RADS scores of 1-3 should undergo prostate biopsy,but this recent research has not yet been systematically summarized and discussed. In this article,we summarize predictive factors indicating prostate biopsy in the PI-RADS 1-3 population and discuss their predict-ive value to provide new guidance for clinical practice and further research.

The ectopic salivary gland refers to the presence of salivary gland tissue in an area other than the site where salivary glands normally exist. They often occur near the line connecting the external ear canal and the medial border of the clavicle. It is extremely rare to occur in the urogenital system. This paper retrospectively analyzed the clinicopathological data of a patient with ectopic salivary glands accidentally discovered due to testicular torsion. Patients are generally asymptomatic. If there is no fistula leading to the skin or mucosal surface, it is difficult to find clinically. The diagnosis depends on postoperative pathological examination. For ectopic salivary glands, surgery is required regardless of the location.

Background: Intravenous (IV) oxycodone has been used at induction to prevent an intubation reaction. The aims of the current study were to calculate the median effective dose (ED) and the 95% effective dose (ED) of an IV bolus of oxycodone that blunts the hemodynamic response to tracheal intubation with propofol according to gender and to observe the adverse events of induction-dose oxycodone. Methods: Adult patients who required general anesthesia and tracheal intubation were enrolled. Tracheal intubation was performed using unified TD-C-IV video laryngoscopy and an ordinary common endotracheal tube. Dixon's up-and-down method was used to obtain EDdata for women and men separately. The initial dose of oxycodone was 0.2 mg/kg for women and 0.3 mg/kg for men (step size was 0.01 mg/kg). Next, a dose-response curve from the probit analysis was generated to determine the EDand EDto blunt the intubation reaction in female and male patients. Adverse events following oxycodone injection were observed for 5 min before propofol injection. Results: Sixty-three patients were analyzed, including 29 females and 34 males. According to the probit analysis, the ED and EDof oxycodone required to blunt the intubation reaction in women were 0.254 mg/kg (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.220-0.328 mg/kg) and 0.357 mg/kg (95% CI, 0.297-2.563 mg/kg), respectively. In men, the ED and EDwere 0.324 mg/kg (95% CI, 0.274-0.381 mg/kg) and 0.454 mg/kg (95% CI, 0.384-2.862 mg/kg), respectively. Men required 28% more oxycodone than women for induction (P < 0.01). The most common adverse events were dizziness (87.3%), vertigo (66.7%), sedation (74.6%), and respiratory depression (66.7%). Conclusions Oxycodone can be used for induction to prevent intubation reactions. Gender affected the EDand EDof oxycodone for blunting the tracheal intubation reaction.

Objective:To explore the correlation between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in Homo sapiens longevity assur-ance homologue 2 (LASS2) gene 3′-untranslated regions (UTR) and susceptibility of bladder cancer among residents of Yunnan, China. Methods:A total of 105 bladder cancer patients (bladder cancer group) and 100 nonbladder cancer patients (control group) were se-lected. PCR method and sequence for LASS2-3′-UTR were performed to identify the SNPs correlated with bladder cancer. The relation-ships between the LASS2-3′-UTR polymorphisms and bladder cancer risk were analyzed. Results:An SNP (rs8444) was identified in LASS2-3′-UTR, and the T/C allele frequencies and genotype distributions of rs8444 largely differed between the bladder cancer and control groups (χ2=10.267, P=0.006;χ2=10.634, P=0.001). Individuals that carry the rs8444 C allele or CC genotype had a remarkably lower risk of bladder cancer compared with those that carry the T allele or TT genotype (OR=0.489, 95%CI:0.309-0.772, P=0.002;OR=0.258, 95%CI:0.081-0.827, P=0.023). No significant correlations were observed between the T/C allele frequencies and genotype distri-butions of rs8444 and TNM stage, as well as histological grade and distant metastasis in bladder cancer (P>0.05). Conclusion: The rs8444 C allele or CC genotype located within LASS2-3′-UTR can lower the susceptibility of bladder cancer among the residents of Yun-nan, China. However, it is not associated with the TNM stage, histological grade, and distant metastasis.

Objective:To investigate microRNA-20a (miRNA-20a) expression in bladder cancer and its potential mechanism. Methods:MiRNA-20a expression was examined using quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) in human bladder cancer tissues and the paired adjacent non-tumor bladder tissues of 96 patients. The target gene of the miRNA-20a was predicted and validated using bioinformatics analysis and reporter gene assay, respectively. The mRNA or protein expression of the target gene in bladder cancer T24 and J82 cells transfected with miRNA-20a mimic or negative control (NC) mimics was detected via qRT-PCR, West-ern blot analysis, and cell immunofluorescence. CCK-8, Transwell chamber, and wound-healing assays were applied to test the prolifer-ation, migration, and invasion of T24 cells after miRNA-20a over-expression in vitro. Results:MiRNA-20a expression significantly in-creased in bladder cancer tissues compared with those in corresponding adjacent non-tumor tissues. High miRNA-20a expression in bladder cancer tissues was closely related to aggressive tumor phenotype, such as high histological grade, poor TNM stage, lymph node invasion, distant metastasis, and tumor recurrence (all P<0.001). Dual-luciferase reporter assay confirmed that miRNA-20a can di-rectly bind to the 3'-untranslated region (3'-UTR) of Homo sapiens longevity assurance homologue 2 (LASS2). Transfection with miRNA-20a mimics significantly inhibited mRNA and protein expression of LASS2 in T24 and J82 cells (all P<0.01) and promoted T24 cell prolif-eration, migration, and invasion in vitro. Conclusion:MiRNA-20a is highly expressed in bladder cancer tissues. MiRNA-20a enhances cell migration as well as proliferation and acts as an oncogene in bladder cancer because of the targeted inhibition of LASS2 expression.

Objective To compare the clinical effect of 2D and 3D laparoscopic radical prostectomy and summarize surgical experience of laparoscopic radical prostectomy of early prostate cancer.MethodsThe clinical data of 34 cases of prostate cancer treated in our institute from November 2015 to April 2016 were collected and analyzed retrospectively. The patients in observation group (11 cases) were treated by 3D laparoscopic radical prostectomy, while those in control group (23 cases) were given 2D laparoscopic radical prostectomy. The operation time, intraoperative bleeding volume, postoperative drainage time, quantity of drainage fluid within 24 hours postoperatively, indwelling catheter time, hospital time, positive surgical margin rate, potence rate, 30d-urinary continence rate and complications were compared between the two groups.Results All operations were successfully performed. There were no signiifcant differences in operation time, intraoperative bleeding volume, postoperative drainage time, quantity of drainage lfuid within 24 hours postoperatively, indwelling catheter time, hospital time, positive surgical margin rate, potence rate, 30d-urinary continence rate and complications between the two groups (P > 0.05). In observation group, the operation time was (153.52 ± 30.47) min and the potence rate was 50.0 %, 4 cases with uroclepsia (36.4 %), 1 case with urine leakage (9.1 %), no patient had urethral stricture or positive surgical margin, the 30d-urinary continence rate was 72.7 %. In control group, the operation time was (164.73 ± 28.65) min and the potence rate was 38.9 %, 13 cases with uroclepsia (56.5 %), 4 cases with urine leakage (17.4 %), 1 case with urethral stricture (4.3 %), 2 cases with positive surgical margin (8.7 %), 30d-urinary continence rate was 60.9 %.ConclusionLaparoscopic radical prostectomy is a safe, effective and less invasive method for treating early prostate cancer patients. Also 3D laparoscopic radical prostectomy play the similar functional results compared with 2D laparoscopic radical prostectomy, but 3D laparoscopic has the advantage in three dimensions space sense and accurate operation, it is worthy of promoting clinical application.

Objective The purpose of this study was to observe the distribution of CD3+T lymphocyte in the tissue of bladder cancer and epithelium of paracancer area, and analyze the significance. Methods Biopsy was performed in 28 patients with bladder cancer, and the distribution and number of CD3+T lymphocyte in tissue of bladder cancer and epithelium of paracancer area were observed and compared using immunohistochemistry. Results Many of CD3+T lymphocytes could be observed in the epithelium of paracancer tissues, but CD3+T lymphocytes in cancer nests was few. The average number of CD3+T lymphocytes in every 5 typical microscope visual fields of paracancer tissues and cancer nests was 15 ±4.5 and 4 ±2.2, respectively, and the difference was significant ( <0.05) .
