Objective:To explore clinical value of prostate target biopsy guided by multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) and 68Ga-labeled prostate specific membrane antigen ligand imaging positron emission tomography/X-ray computed tomography ( 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT) image fusion. Methods:The data of 50 patients admitted to Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center from January 2021 to February 2022 who underwent mpMRI and 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT to guide prostate biopsy were retrospectively analyzed. The median age was 70 (63-79) years, the median serum tPSA value was 8.1 (6.8-83.0) ng/ml, and the prostate volume was 45.5 (30-80) ml. 36 cases were positive by mpMRI, including PI-RADS score 3 in 5 cases, 4 score in 19 cases, 5 score in 12 cases. 32 cases were positive by 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT examination, of which 30 cases were double positive and the fusion of both imaging techniques was positive, referred to as PET/CT-MRI. The patient's mpMRI and 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT images were imported into the MIM fusion software, and the outline of the prostate and the target area were outlined respectively. When PET/CT and MRI double positive cases were biopsied, the two images were alternately fused, calibrated and locked with the real-time prostate ultrasound interface(PET/CT-MRI). Single-positive cases were guided by positive images to complete targeted biopsy, and 12-needle systematic biopsies were completed after targeted biopsy and double-negative cases. The advantages of targeted biopsy and systematic biopsy was evaluated, and the diagnostic performance (sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value) was analyzed. Results:Among the 50 biopsy patients in this group, 31 (62%) had prostate cancer, of which 22 (44%) were CsPCa. There was no significant difference in the detection rate of prostate cancer between targeted biopsy and systematic biopsy [78.9% (30/38) and 62.0% (31/50), P=0.088], and there was no significant difference in the detection rate of CsPCa [57.9% (22/38) and 40.0% (20/50), P=0.096]. The positive rate of the biopsy needles number was significantly different [86.3% (69/80) and 19.0% (114/ 600), P<0.001]. The detection rates of prostate cancer in mpMRI positive, PET/CT positive and PET/CT-MRI positive cases were 83.3% (30/36), 90.6% (29/32) and 96.6% (29/30) respectively, the detection rates of CsPCa were 61.1% (22/36), 68.8% (22/32) and 73.3% (22/30) respectively.The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of mpMRI in the diagnosis of prostate cancer were 96.8%(30/31), 68.4%(13/19), 83.3%(30/36)and 92.9%(13/14), respectively.Those values in 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT were 93.5%(29/31), 84.2%(16/19), 90.6%(29/32)and 88.9%(16/18), respectively.Those values in PET/CT-MRI were 93.8%(29/31), 94.7%(18/19), 96.7%(29/30)and 90.0%(18/20), respectively. The above four indicators of mpMRI diagnosis of CsPCa were 100.0%(22/22), 50.0%(14/28), 61.1%(22/36)and 100.0%(14/14), respectively.Those indicators in 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT were 100.0%(22/22), 64.3%(18/28), 68.8%(22/32)and 100.0%(18/18), respectively.Those indicators in PET/CT-MRI was 100.0%(22/22), 71.4%(20/28), 73.2%(22/30)and 100.0%(20/20), respectively. The detection efficiency of PET/CT-MRI was better than that of mpMRI (Kappa value was 0.737, P=0.031). Conclusions:PET/CT-MRI image fusion-guided targeted prostate biopsy can effectively improve the detection efficiency of prostate cancer and clinically significant prostate cancer, and increase the positive rate.

Objective:To observe the efficacy and safety of radium-223 in metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) with bone metastasis.Methods:The clinical data of 48 patients with mCRPC treated with radium-223(55 kBq/kg, once every 4 weeks, planned to use for 6 cycles)from February 2021 to May 2022 were analyzed retrospectively. All patients had symptomatic bone metastasis without visceral metastasis, which the number of bone metastasis was more than one site.They were all classified as IVb stage. The average age was 70.5 (ranging 49-90) years. The median PSA was 44.70(ranging 0.15-1 864.00) ng/ml. The median ALP was 162 (ranging 43-1 589) U/L. The median time from mCRPC diagnosis to radium-223 use was 10 (ranging 3-47) months. 9, 18 and 11 patients had received first-line, second-line and third-line treatment for mCRPC before enrollment respectively, 10 patients had received at least fourth-line treatment. 38 (79.1%), 31 (64.5%), 30 (62.5%) and 7 (14.6%) patients had used abiraterone, enzalutamide, docetaxel and olaparib before enrollment. The probability of PSA level decrease >30%, ALP level decrease >30%, symptom improvement rate, median overall survival (OS), as well as the occurrence of treatment-related adverse reactions and the reasons for withdraw treatment were analyzed.Results:The median follow-up time was 8 (ranging 1-16) months. 11 patients completed all 6 courses of treatment. The median number of completed courses was 4 (ranging 1-6). 27 patients (56.2%) received radium-223 and bone protection drugs (Bisphosphate/ Denosumab). PSA decreased by >30% was recorded in 10 patients (20.8%) and ALP decreased by >30% was recorded in 25 patients (52.1%). 23 cases (47.9%) reported bone pain relief during treatment. Among the 9 patients who had received first-line of mCRPC previously, 6 cases (66%) had relief of bone pain symptoms, and 4 cases (44%) had a decrease of PSA >30%. Among the 18 patients who had previously received second-line mCRPC treatment, 11 cases (61%) had relief of bone pain symptoms, and 4 cases (22%) had a decrease of PSA >30%. Among the 21 patients who had received third-line or more mCRPC treatment in the past, 6 (28.5%) had symptom relief, and 2 (9.5%) had PSA decrease >30%. The median overall survival (OS) was not reached, and the OS was estimated to be 12.5 months using the Kaplan-Meier method. The most common hematological adverse effects were thrombocytopenia (15 cases, 31.2%; grade 3 in 6 cases and grade 4 in 0), followed by leucopenia (11 cases, 22.9%; grade 3 in 4 cases and grade 4 in 1 case) and anemia (8 cases, 16.7%; grade 3 in 3 cases and grade 4 in 0). Non-hematological adverse reactions included fever in 1 case (2.1%), constipation in 4 cases (8.3%), nausea and vomiting in 10 cases (20.8%), diarrhea in 7 cases (14.6%), dizziness in 1 case (2.1%) and fatigue in 11 cases (22.9%). Seven cases were discontinued due to intolerable adverse reactions (median 2 courses), 14 cases were discontinued due to disease progression or death (median 2 courses), and 5 cases were discontinued due to other reasons (median 1 course).Conclusions:Radium-223 has a good performance in symptom control for mCRPC patients who have previously received first-line or second-line therapy. Due to the high incidence of hematological adverse reactions, more attention should be paid to the changes of hemogram during the treatment, and timely treatment should be carried out to improve the drug tolerance of patients.

Objective:To understand the current situation of the demand for humanistic care of schizophrenics in convalescence and analyze the influencing factors, so as to provide the basis for clinical nurses to carry out targeted humanistic care for patients.Methods:A self-produced scale with a total score of 49-245 was used to investigate 516 convalescent period schizophrenic patients in 18 tertiary mental health institutions in 13 provinces of China, single factor analysis and multiple regression analysis were performed on their influencing factors.Results:The Likert 5-point scoring method was used. The overall score of the nursing care needs of hospitalized schizophrenic patients was (202.85±35.06) points, and the average score of total items were (4.14±0.16) points. Multiple linear regression results showed female ( B=0.100, P=0.024), stable marriage ( B=-0.098, P=0.026),high school (including secondary school) Education ( B=-0.107, P=0.018), family per capita monthly income of 2 000 yuan or above ( B=0.093, P=0.043),central region ( B=-0.110, P=0.014) were the main factors that affect the demand for humanistic care of inpatients with schizophrenia in convalescence. Conclusion:The hospitalized schizophrenic patients have higher and diversified needs for humanistic care. Patients with different genders, marital status, education level, monthly family income and living area have different needs for humanistic care. Individualized and standardized nursing should be given according to the actual situation of patients' needs to provide a more supportive environment for their rehabilitation.

Objective:To explore the clinical value of cryoablation technology in the treatment of patients with primary tumor recurrence after radical radiotherapy for prostate cancer.Methods:The clinical data of 21 patients with prostate cancer recurrence after radical radiotherapy in the Fudan University Affiliated Cancer Hospital from August 2017 to February 2021 was retrospectively analyzed. The average age was 73.1 (57.3-85.0) years old, and the Gleason score was 6 in 5 cases, 7 in 8 cases, and ≥8 in 8 cases. The clinical stage of the first diagnosis: 13 cases of cT 2 stage; 8 cases of cT 3 stage. The baseline PSA before radiotherapy was 35.3 (6.4-78.5) ng/ml, and the lowest PSA after radiotherapy was 1.8 ng/ml. After a median follow-up of 8 (3-12) months, all patients were detected with persistently elevated PSA. Pelvic MRI and PSMA SPECT showed that the primary prostate lesion had recurred. PSA before cryoablation was 4.1 (1.8-14.4) ng/ml. Comprehensive assessment of preoperative examination showed that the patient only had a recurrence of the primary tumor, and no lymph node or distant metastasis was seen. An argon-helium cryogenic surgical treatment system was used to place 1 to 3 cryo-needles for recurring lesions, and cryoablation was performed using two cold and hot cycles. Observation indicators include prognostic indicators such as PSA, recurrence and metastasis, and the occurrence of adverse reactions. Results:Complications after cryoablation include: 2 cases of urinary retention, 1 case of urinary tract infection, and 2 cases of urination with tissue shedding. The PSA of 11 cases decreased rapidly 2 to 3 months after operation, and dropped to the lowest median value of 0.4 (0.003 to 2.8) ng/ml. After cryoablation, the median follow-up was 18 (6-51) months. Imaging examinations in 1 case showed that the prostate still had limited diffusion or increased PSMA uptake, and 4 cases had PSA progression but no recurrence or metastasis. The median recurrence time for advanced patients was 13 (4-36) months. Larger prostate volume ( P<0.001) and higher blood PSA before ablation( P=0.021) were related to biochemical recurrence. Conclusions:Prostate cryoablation could delay the progression of the primary tumor after radical radiotherapy for prostate cancer. The incidence of complications such as urinary retention and urinary tract infection is not high, and it is generally safe and controllable.

Objective:To observe the clinical effect and safety of regional lymph node dissection in metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer(mCRPC).Methods:The clinical data of 22 patients with mCRPC who underwent regional lymph node dissection in our hospital from August 2015 to May 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients had undergone radical prostatectomy and entered mCRPC, metastatic lymph nodes limited to pelvic or retroperitoneal without other metastasis were determined by PSMA-PET in 5 cases and PSMA-SPECT in 17 cases. The median time from radical surgery to mCRPC was 32 (4-96) months, and the median time from discovery of mCRPC to regional lymph node dissection was 4 (1-43) months. The median PSA before regional lymph node dissection was 4.44 (2.00-22.15) ng/ml. Image of local examination showed pelvic lymph node metastasis in 16 cases, retroperitoneal lymph node metastasis in 3 cases, pelvic together with retroperitoneal lymph node metastasis in 3 cases. Before regional lymph node dissection, 18 patients were treated with drug castration combined with first-generation antiandrogens, and 4 patients were treated with drug castration combined with abiraterone. The lymph node dissection range was determined according to the location of metastatic lymph nodes. Obturator lymph nodes and lymph node metastasis around external iliac and internal iliac vessels: the range of dissection includes fibrous adipose tissue around external iliac vein and internal iliac vein, and obturator lymph adipose tissue. Common iliac and pelvic floor lymph node metastasis: dissect lymphoid adipose tissue around common iliac vessels on the basis of the original dissection range as far as the aortic bifurcation. Retroperitoneal lymph node metastasis: remove all lymph node adipose tissue located between the bifurcation of renal artery and aorta. The PSA remission rate, PSA remission time, surgical complications and other relevant clinicopathological features were analyzed.Results:Among the 22 cases, 6 cases underwent unilateral pelvic lymph node dissection, 10 cases underwent bilateral pelvic lymph node dissection, 3 cases underwent retroperitoneal lymph node dissection, and 3 cases underwent pelvic and retroperitoneal lymph node dissection at the same time. 19 cases (86.3%) showed positive lymph nodes by pathology. An average of 9.8 (3-29) lymph nodes were dissected in each patient, with an average of 4.1 (0-12) positive lymph nodes. All 22 cases continued to use the previous anti-androgen therapy after lymph node dissection. 17 cases (77.3%) achieved PSA remission after operation, of which 9 cases developed PSA progression, and the median PSA progression time was 12 (2-36) months. Univariate analysis showed that PSA value during radical operation ( P=0.029), N stage during radical operation ( P=0.057), the number of positive lymph nodes during regional lymph node dissection ( P=0.069) and the location of lymph node metastasis during regional lymph node dissection ( P =0.005) were related to the progression time of PSA. Postoperative complications: lymphatic leakage in 7 cases; 5 cases of postoperative fever, of which 1 case was confirmed to have pelvic bacterial infection. One patient suffered from massive intra-operative bleeding due to the invasion of blood vessels by metastatic lymph nodes. After timely hemostasis during the operation, the patient returned to the ward and was discharged 6 days later. One case of intestinal obstruction, and 1 case of body surface wound infection. 6 cases of lymphatic leakage healed within 1 month after operation, and 1 case of lymphatic leakage healed within 3 months after operation. Conclusions:For mCRPC patients with lymph node metastasis which could be surgically removed, regional lymph node dissection may further delay the starting time of posterior drugs, and the complications are relatively controllable.

Retrospectively analyze the clinicopathological data of a patient with metastatic hormone sensitive prostate cancer, and review relevant literature. The patient was male, 68 years old. Complaints of dysuria and urgency for half a year. Blood PSA>100 ng/ml, magnetic resonance showed that the prostate was occupying space, the boundary with the seminal vesicle gland was not clear, and the pelvic cavity had multiple bone lesions. Bone scan revealed multiple bone metastases. The prostate biopsy showed adenocarcinoma, Gleason score 5+ 5. The clinical stage was T 3N 0M 1b.A palliative transurethral resection of the prostate was performed due to urination obstruction, and endocrine therapy with medical castration combined with abiraterone and prednisone. PSA was continuously controlled at <0.006 ng/ml. After half a year of treatment, the prostate-specific membrane antigen single-photon emission computerized tomography and magnetic resonance examination revealed sternal and parasternal soft tissue lesions. Local radiotherapy and continuous endocrine therapy were given. The disease was under long-term control.There are various treatment options for metastatic hormone sensitive prostate cancer. Medical castration treatment combined with abiraterone and prednisone can effectively control the disease with mild adverse reactions. Palliative transurethral resection of the prostate can improve the symptoms of urinary obstruction and may also improve the prognosis of patients.

Objective:To evaluate the systemic absorption and safety of multiple doses of topical tazarotene/betamethasone dipropionate cream in healthy subjects and patients with psoriasis.Methods:From September 2008 to April 2009, 12 healthy subjects collected from Hospital for Skin Diseases, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College were randomly and equally divided into tazarotene 0.15%/betamethasone dipropionate 0.15% cream group and tazarotene 0.2%/betamethasone dipropionate 0.2% cream group; these subjects were instructed to apply 0.03 g of the test drug per day on each of the 4 body sites, including the flexor aspects of bilateral forearms, waist and back, for 7 consecutive days, and venous blood samples were obtained before, and 1, 3, 5 and 7 days after the start of drug application. From October 2010 to August 2011, 60 patients with non-cephalic psoriasis collected from the Hospital for Skin Diseases, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College were randomly divided into 3 groups at a ratio of 3∶1∶1, i.e., tazarotene 0.05%/betamethasone dipropionate 0.05% cream group ( n = 36) and tazarotene 0.05% gel group ( n = 12) topically treated with a cream vehicle in the morning and the test drug at night, and betamethasone dipropionate 0.05% cream group ( n = 12) topically treated with the test drug twice a day (once in the morning and again in the evening) ; the treatment lasted 6 consecutive weeks, and venous blood samples were collected before, and 2, 4 and 6 weeks after drug application. Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry was performed to determine the concentrations of tazarotenic acid and betamethasone in plasma. During the trial, adverse events in the subjects were recorded, routine blood and urine examinations were carried out, and liver and kidney function were evaluated before and after treatment. Results:The plasma concentrations of tazarotenic acid and betamethasone in the 12 healthy subjects were below the lower limit of quantitation (0.04 μg/L) after 1-, 3-, 5- and 7-day treatment. After the consecutive treatment, tazarotenic acid and betamethasone were detected in 2 (5.56%) and 4 (11.11%) patients respectively at week 2, 4 or 6 in the tazarotene 0.05%/betamethasone dipropionate 0.05% cream group, and the highest plasma concentrations of tazarotenic acid and betamethasone were 0.112 and 0.201 μg/L respectively; in the betamethasone dipropionate 0.05% cream group, betamethasone was detected in 2 of 12 patients, and the highest plasma concentration of betamethasone was 0.112 μg/L. No test drug-related systemic adverse reactions or laboratory abnormalities were observed in any of the healthy subjects or patients.Conclusion:Multiple doses of topical tazarotene/betamethasone dipropionate cream has advantages of little systemic absorption, no long-term accumulation and good systemic safety.

Objective:To evaluate the surgical technique and clinical effect of free KISS anterolateral thigh flap in repairing soft tissue defect of dorsal side of fingers.Methods:From January, 2014 to June, 2019, 7 patients with soft tissue defects in dorsal side of multiple fingers were treated. Step one, a KISS anterolateral thigh flap was used and a temporary syndactyly between adjacent affected fingers was created by suture of the digital palmar skin. The donor sites were sutured directly. Step two, a procedure of partial de-bulking and division of syndactyly was followed-up 1-3 months later. All cases were followed-up in observations of appearance, texture, functions and donor site of flaps.Results:All flaps survived, and all went through disorders of no blood circulation. The followed-up time were 3 to 24 (average 12.5) months. The flaps had fine appearance, texture and colour. The dorsal aspects of reconstructed fingers demonstrated an aesthetically pleasing effect after the flap de-bulking and division of syndactyly. The donor site only left a linear scar, and the thigh had no functional deficit.Conclusion:Free KISS anterolateral thigh flap in repairing defects of dorsal skin in multiple fingers could simplify the operation, shorten operative time and reduce surgical trauma.
