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.

Mycophenolic acid (MPA), the active moiety of both mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) and enteric-coated mycophenolate sodium (EC-MPS), serves as a primary immunosuppressant for maintaining solid organ transplants. Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) enhances treatment outcomes through tailored approaches. This study aimed to develop an evidence-based guideline for MPA TDM, facilitating its rational application in clinical settings. The guideline plan was drawn from the Institute of Medicine and World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines. Using the Delphi method, clinical questions and outcome indicators were generated. Systematic reviews, Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) evidence quality evaluations, expert opinions, and patient values guided evidence-based suggestions for the guideline. External reviews further refined the recommendations. The guideline for the TDM of MPA (IPGRP-2020CN099) consists of four sections and 16 recommendations encompassing target populations, monitoring strategies, dosage regimens, and influencing factors. High-risk populations, timing of TDM, area under the curve (AUC) versus trough concentration (C0), target concentration ranges, monitoring frequency, and analytical methods are addressed. Formulation-specific recommendations, initial dosage regimens, populations with unique considerations, pharmacokinetic-informed dosing, body weight factors, pharmacogenetics, and drug-drug interactions are covered. The evidence-based guideline offers a comprehensive recommendation for solid organ transplant recipients undergoing MPA therapy, promoting standardization of MPA TDM, and enhancing treatment efficacy and safety.

A 34-year-old male patient was admitted to the hospital on October 6, 2023 due to fall from a high place. Physical examination showed blood pressure 96/53 mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa), heart rate of 105 beats/min, slight bulge in the right kidney area, and positive percussion pain in the right kidney area. CT examination showed complete rupture of the lower pole of the right kidney, thrombosis of the right renal vein, and contusion and laceration of the right posterior lobe of the liver. According to the American Association for the Surgery of Trauma renal injury classification, he was diagnosed as grade Ⅳ renal rupture. After blood transfusion and fluid infusion, vital signs were stable. Laparoscopic nephrectomy plus renal vein thrombectomy plus liver rupture repair were performed. The operation took 90 minutes, and about 300 ml of blood clots and fresh blood were aspirated during the operation. The patient's vital signs were stable after the operation, and he could get out of bed 3 days after the operation. CT reexamination 1 month after the operation showed right kidney resected and the liver healed well. This operation is feasible if the patient's vital signs are stable, with the advantages of small surgical incision, short operation time, less bleeding, fast postoperative recovery and good surgical effect.

Objective:To explore the impact of DRG payment reform on high-ratio cases and their hospitalization expenses, so as to provide references for deepening the reform of the medical insurance payment system.Methods:Data were collected from inpatient medical record home pages within 2019 to 2023 in a reform pilot hospital in Wuhan. All cases were grouped by the CHS-DRG grouper. The high-ratio cases were identified as hospitalization expenses exceeding 2.5 times the standard expenses. Interrupted time series model was used to analyse the impact of DRG payment reform on the proportion of high-rate cases and their hospitalization expenses. The period from January 2019 to December 2020 was the stage before the reform, and the period from January 2021 to December 2023 was the stage after the reform.Results:This study included 1 364 711 grouped cases, among which there were 159 506 high-ratio cases(78 679 cases before the reform and 80 827 cases after the reform). After the implementation of DRG payment, the proportion of high-ratio cases was decreased from 17.29% to 8.89%. The average DRG weight increased from 0.94 before the reform to 1.12 after the reform, and the average total hospitalization cost increased from 45 677.18 yuan to 52 179.32 yuan. Results from interrupted time series model showed that the proportion of high-ratio cases appear a downward trend after the reform( P=0.008). The total hospitalization cost showed an upward trend both before and after the reform( P<0.05), but the growth trend slowed down after the reform. The diagnosis cost exhibited an upward trend both before and after the reform( P<0.05), but there was a significant immediate decrease immediately after the implementation of the reform( P=0.016); The treatment cost showed an upward trend after the reform( P<0.001); The consumable cost had an upward trend before the reform( P=0.007), but the change trend after the reform was not statistically significant( P=0.544). In addition, the treatment expenses of the surgical group and the internal medical group both showed a significant upward trend after the reform( P<0.001); The consumable cost of the procedural group and the diagnosis cost of the internal medicine group both decreased immediately after the reform( P<0.05). Conclusions:DRG payment helps reduce the high-ratio cases and has a certain optimizing effec on their structure of hospitalization cost.

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.
