Objective To analyze and compare the disease burden of high BMI in Kunshan City in different periods, and to provide a scientific basis for the prevention and control of overweight and obesity in Kunshan City. Methods Using the global burden of disease research method, the number of deaths attributable to high BMI and attributable YLL in Kunshan City were calculated using the survey data of chronic diseases and their risk factors and the data of the death registration system in Kunshan City. Results In 2023, R5.46% of deaths in Kunshan City were attributed to high BMI, with 345 attributable deaths, and attributable mortality rate and standardized attributable mortality rate were 39.16/100 000 and 33.82/100 000, Rrespectively. Attributable YLL rate and standardized attributable YLL rate were 692.35/100 000 and 604.46/100 000, respectively. High BMI caused a loss of 0.52 years of life expectancy per capita. Compared with 2012, PAF, standardized attributable mortality rate, standardized attributable YLL rate and life expectancy loss per capita of high BMI in 2023 increased by 121.95%, 100.71%, 57.05%, and 100%, respectively. Among different genders, PAF increased by 91.05% for males and 161.97% for females from 2012 to 2023. Among different diseases, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and cancers had the highest attributable disease burden, while diabetes, chronic kidney disease and Alzheimer's disease all had a significant increase. Conclusion The burden of disease attributable to high BMI has risen dramatically in Kunshan City, and the adverse health effects of overweight and obesity need to be reduced through scientific weight loss and comprehensive practical measures.

【Objective】 To summarize the clinicopathological features and prognosis of young patients (18-40 years old) with non-clear cell renal cell carcinoma (nccRCC) treated in a single center to provide reference for the diagnosis and treatment of similar patients. 【Methods】 Clinical data of 113 nccRCC patients treated during Jan. 2012 and Aug. 2022 were retrospectively analyzed, including 57 males (50.4%) and 56 females (49.6%). The average age of onset was (31.6±5.8) years. Among all patients, 57 had lesions (50.4%) on the left side, and 56 (49.6%) on the right side. Young patients undergoing renal cancer surgery accounted for approximately 12.4% of the total number of renal cancer patients undergoing surgery, and nccRCC accounted for 34.8% of the total number of cases. 【Results】 Minimally invasive surgery (laparoscopic or robot-assisted) was performed in 102 cases (90.3%), and open surgery in 11 cases (9.7%). Fifty-five cases (48.7%) underwent partial nephrectomy and 58 (51.3%) radical nephrectomy. Among them, 11 patients (9.7%) developed tumor thrombi. All surgeries were successful with no serious complications. The pathological types included 32 cases (28.3%) of chromophobe renal cell carcinoma, 25 cases (22.1%) of MiT family translocation renal cell carcinoma, and 20 cases (17.7%) of papillary renal cell carcinoma. The total proportion of the three pathological subtypes reached 68.1%. After 46 (2-115) months of follow-up, 8 cases (7.8%, 8/102) developed tumor metastasis and 2 died. 【Conclusion】 The nccRCC is rare in young patients. The major pathological type is chromophobe, and the major treatment method is minimally invasive surgery. Most pathological types have good long-term prognosis, while patients with tumor thrombi have a high risk of metastasis and poor prognosis.

【Objective】 To explore the effects of finasteride on the gene expression in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) through transcriptome analysis. 【Methods】 Postoperative prostate tissues from patients who underwent prostatectomy at Peking University Third Hospital during Oct.2020 and Oct.2021 were collected.The patients were divided into medication group and non-medication group based on whether they had taken finasteride for a long time before surgery, with 8 patients in either groups.Transcriptome sequencing analysis was performed and the results were validated with qPCR and immunohistochemistry analysis. 【Results】 Compared with the non-medication group, 857 up-regulated and 806 down-regulated genes were screened in the medication group.Pathway enrichment analysis showed that finasteride induced down-regulation of vascular endothelial growth factor D (VEGFD) expression in the focal adhesion pathway.Inter group network analysis suggested that the calcium signaling pathway was key in the entire process.GSEA enrichment analysis further revealed the up regulation of CD38 gene expression in the calcium signaling pathway.The qPCR and immunohistochemistry analysis supported the transcriptome results mentioned above, and found that androgen receptor (AR) expression was also increased. 【Conclusion】 Finasteride reduces prostate microvascular formation by downregulating the expression of VEGFD in the focal adhesion pathway, thereby reducing the risk of bleeding during prostate hyperplasia surgery. Long-term use of finasteride leads to the up regulation of CD38 expression in the calcium signaling pathway, which may lead to the development of finasteride resistance.

Objective:To investigate the prognostic factors for all-cause mortality in patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer(MIBC)with intermediate-to-high-risk primary prostate cancer.Methods:From January 2012 to October 2023,the clinical data of the patients with MIBC with intermediate-to-high-risk primary prostate cancer in Peking University Third Hospital were retrospectively analyzed.All the patients were monitored and the occurrence of all-cause death was documented as the outcome event in the prognostic study.Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional risk regression analysis models were implemented to search for independent influences on the prognosis of patients.For significant influencing factors(pathological T stage,M stage and perineural invasion of bladder cancer),survival curves were plotted before and after multifactorial Cox regression adjusting for confounding factors.Results:A total of 32 patients were included in this study.The mean age was(72.5±6.6)years;the median preoperative total prostate specific antigen(tPSA)was 6.68(2.47,6.84)μg/L;the mean preoperative creatinine was(95±36)μmol/L,and the median survival time was 65 months.The majority of the patients(87.5％)had high-grade bladder cancer,53.1％had lymphatic invasion,and 31.3％had perineural invasion.Prostate involvement was observed in 25.0％of the cases,and the positive rate of soft-tissue surgical margin was 37.5％.Multivariate Cox analysis revealed that preoperative creatinine level(HR=1.02,95％CI:1.01-1.04),pathological stage of bladder cancer T3(HR=11.58,95％CI:1.38-97.36)and T4(HR=19.53,95％CI:4.26-89.52)metastasis of bladder cancer(HR=9.44,95％CI:1.26-70.49)and perineural invasion of bladder cancer(HR=6.26,95％CI:1.39-28.27)were independent prognostic factors(P＜0.05).Survival curves with Log-rank test after adjusting for confounding factors demonstrated that bladder cancer pathology T3,T4,M1,and perineural invasion were unfavorable factors affecting the patients'survival prognosis(P＜0.05).Conclusion:Patients with MIBC with intermediate-to-high risk primary prostate cancer generally portends a poor prognosis.High preoperative serum creatinine,T3 or T4 pathological stage of bladder cancer,metastasis of bladder cancer and bladder cancer perineural invasion are poor prognostic factors for patients with MIBC with intermediate-to-high risk primary prostate cancer.

【Objective】 To investigate the clinical characteristics and treatment strategy of giant multilocular prostatic cystadenoma(GMPC). 【Methods】 The clinical data of a GMPC patient treated in our hospital in July 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. The patient was 73 years old. The clinical manifestations were urgent urination and frequent urination. The prostate specific antigen (PSA) increased slightly. MRI showed giant cystic solid space occupying lesion of the prostate. Domestic and foreign cases of prostate cystadenoma from 2000 to 2021 were retrieved for literature review. 【Results】 Transabdominal laparoscopic radical prostatectomy was performed successfully. The postoperative pathological diagnosis was GMPC. Two weeks after operation, the urinary catheter was removed, and there was no discomfort such as urinary frequency or urinary incontinence. After follow-up for more than 8 months, there was no tumor recurrence or metastasis. 【Conclusion】 There are still some disputes about the oncological characteristics and diagnosis and treatment of GMPC, and there is a lack of long-term follow-up results. Laparoscopic prostatectomy is safe and feasible. Most patients have a good prognosis after surgical treatment. It is necessary to formulate an individualized standard treatment plan based on surgery combined with different patients’ conditions to actively improve the prognosis.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of laparoscopic partial nephrectomy in the treatment of renal tumors with renal score of 10.Methods:From February 2016 to March 2021, 23 patients who underwent laparoscopic partial nephrectomy in Peking University Third Hospital with renal tumors of R. E.N.A.L. score of 10 was studied retrospectively, including 16 cases of male and 7 cases of female, with 11 cases on the right side and 12 cases on the left side. The patients’ age was (55.0±16.4) years, and BMI was (25.4±3.6) kg/m 2. The maximum diameter of the tumor was (3.5±1.4)cm. Laparoscopic partial nephrectomy was performed after complete examination. The observation indexes included operation time, blocking time, complications, postoperative hospital stay and the trifecta (negative surgical margin, blocking time ≤25 minutes, and no perioperative complications). Results:All operations were successfully completed, only 4 cases were converted to open surgery. The median operation time was 153 min(99-346 min). The median blocking time was 27 min(14-60min). The median postoperative hospital stay was 6 d(4-11 d). Postoperative complications occurred in 7 cases(fever in 5 cases, intestinal obstruction in 1 case, postoperative blood transfusion and leg intermuscular venous thrombosis in 1 case). 9 cases (39.1%) achieved the trifecta. 19 cases who completed by laparoscopy, their operation time was 151 min(99-303 min), blocking time was 28 min(18-60 min), postoperative hospital stay was 6 d(4-11 d), fever occurred in 4 cases, and 6 cases achieved the trifecta (31.6%). The follow-up time was 3-62 months, with a median of 32 months, and there was no recurrence or metastasis.Conclusions:Laparoscopic partial nephrectomy is safe and effective in the treatment of renal tumors with renal score of 10.Although the tumor is highly complex, it also achieves the purpose of preserving nephron to the greatest extent. If technical conditions permit, laparoscopic partial nephrectomy could be considered for the treatment of highly complex renal tumors.

Introducing the multidisciplinary cooperation model into the clinical teaching of residents has gradually been paid attention to, and the relevant multi-disciplinary teaching teams participate in and formulate teaching plan. The Department of Urology of the Peking University Third Hospital carries out multidisciplinary cooperative teaching of residents based on network platform to improve residents' autonomous learning ability and teaching effect. This model has certain advantages in mobilizing students' subjective initiative and cultivating learning interest. It is of great significance for the training of urology residents.

Objective:To investigate the effect of different imaging classifications of prostate cancer seminal vesicle invasion on positive surgical margins (PSM) after laparoscopic radical prostatectomy(LRP).Methods:114 patients with pT 3b stage prostate cancer admitted to Peking University Third Hospital from August 2009 to December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. The age of the patients was (68.2±7.7) years old, the median pre-biopsy PSA was 20.20 (3.45-186.30) ng/ml, and the patients with biopsy Gleason score of ≤7, and ≥8 was 33 and 81 cases, respectively. The median prostate volume was 33.2 (12.1-155.4) ml. According to the imaging of the seminal vesicle invasion of prostate cancer, the patients were divided into the following types: type Ⅰ, the tumor directly invades the seminal vesicle along the vas deferens; type Ⅱa, the tumor invades the basal capsule of the prostate and invades the seminal vesicle; type Ⅱb, the tumor invades the periprostatic fat and retrogradely invades the seminal vesicles; type Ⅲ, solitary lesions in the seminal vesicles that do not continue with the prostate cancer. All patients underwent LRP, and the PSM were recorded as the base, bilateral, posterior, anterior and apical parts of the prostate. The differences in clinicopathological data of patients with different seminal vesicle invasion imaging types were compared, and the independent risk factors of PSM in pT 3b prostate cancer were evaluated by multivariate analysis. Results:The operative time of 114 cases in this group was (229.4±62.2) min, and the blood loss was 100(20-1 800)ml. The postoperative gross pathological Gleason score was ≤7 in 17 cases and ≥8 in 97 cases. In the imaging classification of prostate cancer with seminal vesicle invasion, there were 28 cases (24.6%) of type Ⅰ, 39 cases (34.2%) of type Ⅱa, 47 cases (41.2%) of type Ⅱb, and no type Ⅲ patients. There was no significant difference in age, body mass index, pre-biopsy PSA, prostate volume, and operation time among patients with type Ⅰ, Ⅱa, and Ⅱb seminal vesicle invasion ( P>0.05). There was a statistically significant difference in blood loss among the three types ( P = 0.001), and the difference in the proportion of lymph node metastasis was statistically significant ( P = 0.013). In the classification of prostate cancer seminal vesicle invasion, the PSM rates of type Ⅰ, Ⅱa and Ⅱb were 28.6% (8/28), 38.5% (15/39) and 70.2% (33/39), and the difference was statistically significant ( P=0.001). The PSM rates of type Ⅰ, Ⅱa, and Ⅱb were 21.4% (6/28), 23.1% (9/39), and 34.0% (16/47), respectively. The results of univariate analysis showed that the biopsy Gleason score ( P = 0.063) and the type of seminal vesicle invasion ( P<0.001) entered into multivariate analysis, and the results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the type of seminal vesicle invasion ( P=0.001) was independent risk factor for PSM after LRP. Conclusions:The PSM rate in patients with type Ⅱb seminal vesicle invasion is significantly higher. The higher imaging type of seminal vesicle invasion is the independent risk factor of PSM after LRP.

Objective:To explore the isolation and culture methods of mouse parietal epithelial cells (PECs) of Bowman′s capsule, so as to provide a cell tool for further study.Methods:Mouse renal corpuscles were isolated by cell sieving combined with magnetic separation. After primary culture, identified parietal epithelial cells were induced to differentiate into podocytes. Immunofluorescence staining, real-time quantitative PCR and Western blotting were used to detect specific markers of parietal epithelial cells and podocytes.Results:Primary cultured PECs grew like paving stone and expressed Claudin-1 (PECs specific marker), CD133 (stem cell marker) and CD24 (stem cell marker), without the expression of tubular epithelial cell proteins, mesangial cell and podocyte specific proteins. Cultured to 6 generations in vitro, the PECs still expressed Claudin-1, CD133 and CD24. After incubated with differentiation medium, PECs were able to express podocyte markers WT-1 and Synaptopodin. Conclusion:The renal corpuscles are extracted by cell sieving combined with magnetic separation, and the mouse PECs successfully cultured in vitro can be induced to express podocytes′ markers.

Objective:To disiuss the application of liver free technique in renal cell carcinoma patients with Mayo Ⅱ-Ⅳ tumor thrombus.Methods:The clinical data of renal cell carcinoma patients with MayoⅡ-Ⅳ IVC tumor thrombus in our hospital from January 2014 to December 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. 25 patients underwent right part of liver or hepatic portal part dissection via open abdominal approach. There were 20 males and 5 females, aged 45-74 years (mean 61±6 years). All patients underwent urinary tract CTU or MRU examination, vena cava enhanced magnetic resonance angiography.There were left 8 cases, right 17 cases; the median length of tumor was 7 cm (3.6-12.1 cm). There were 1 case of Mayo grade Ⅱ tumor thrombus, 7 cases of Mayo grade Ⅲ tumor thrombus, and 17 cases of Mayo grade Ⅳ tumor thrombus. There were 7 cases of distant metastasis, including 6 cases of lung metastasis and 1 case of bone metastasis. After multi-disciplinary consultation (MDT), 19 patients underwent radical nephrectomy and 6 patients underwent tumor reducing nephrectomy. During the operation, the ligaments around the liver were completely dissociated and the space between the liver and kidney was opened. The bare area of the liver was fully dissociated, to expose the inferior vena cava. For Mayo grade Ⅳ tumor thrombus, 11 cases were treated with free diaphragmatic thrombus removal without thoracotomy, and 6 cases were treated with open chest cardiopulmonary bypass.Results:The median operation time was 444(258-694)min, the median intraoperative blood loss was 2 000(250-10 000)ml, and the median value of suspended red blood cell transfusion was 1 300(400-10 400)ml. The median postoperative hospital stay was 10(4-25)days.15 patients (60%) had postoperative complications, including 8 cases of liver injury, 5 cases of respiratory complications, 4 cases of kidney injury, 3 cases of anemia, 3 cases of infection and 1 case of thrombosis. Three patients died during perioperative period.Conclusions:The application of total liver free technique might obtain good exposure of surgical field, effectively control the hemorrhage of inferior vena cava, which is helpful for safe resection of tumor.
