Objective:To investigate the feasibility and accuracy of transperineal prostate targeted biopsy guided by holographic image.Methods:Clinical data of 10 patients with transperineal prostate targeted biopsy guided by holographic image in Peking University Shougang Hospital between May and September 2020 were analyzed retrospectively. The average age was (70.9±10.3) years old, the median PSA was 15.1(6.02-1110.14) ng/ml, prostate MRI were performed before biopsy and the PI-RADS scores were all ≥ 3, and the number of suspicious target lesions was 1.4±0.5. CT examinations of urinary system were performed on the premise of mild lithotomy position and positioning stickers pasted on the skin of perineum and lower abdomen. The original data of CT and MRI were obtained, holographic image models were firstly made separately and then fused into a complete model, and the puncture paths were planned for the target lesions. At the time of puncture, the patient took the same body position as in CT scan, the operator wore a mixed reality head mounted display (HoloLens glasses), and the skin positioning stickers were used for visual registration between the holographic model and the real human body. Then under the guidance of the virtual puncture path, the puncture biopsy gun was placed, fired after reaching the predetermined depth, a transrectal ultrasound probe was placed to clarify the position of the puncture needle, and the objective accuracy of puncture was judged by comparison of ultrasound and MRI images. If the first shot was judged to be inaccurate, it was allowed to make a supplementary shot after adjusting the angle. After holographic guided biopsies, cognitive fusion targeted biopsies and 12-needle systematic biopsies were performed routinely, and the proportion of positive needles of the three different biopsy methods were calculated respectively.Results:All the 10 cases were successfully completed, including 16 holographic image guided shots, 28 cognitive fusion targeted shots and 116 systematic shots. The objective accuracy of holographic image guided biopsy after first shot judgments was 68.8% (11/16), while it raised to 87.5% (14/16) after supplementary shots. The proportion of positive needles in the three puncture methods were 56.3% (9/16), 42.9% (12/28) and 19.8% (23/116), respectively ( P=0.002). The results of subjective questionnaire showed that holographic model was helpful to improve the spatial understanding of lesions. The satisfaction of intraoperative holographic registration and guided puncture were 90% and 60%, respectively. No puncture related complication occurred in this group. Conclusion:The study preliminarily confirmed the feasibility of holographic image-guided prostate targeted biopsy. This new puncture method has better objective accuracy, and the proportion of positive needles is significantly better than systematic biopsy.

Background and purpose:Laparoscopic partial nephrectomy has been one of the surgery options for patients with single renal carcinoma of T1 stage. Under the effect of some factors, intraoperative renal blood lfow clamping somtimes exceeds the safe limit of 30 minutes of warm ischemia time (WIT) for renal tissues, that might results in warm ischemia-reperfusion injury to severe extent. However, there still remains controversy about the depth of this warm ischemia-reperfusion injury. So this study aimed to evaluate the effects of longer WIT on ipsilateral residual renal tissues. Methods:Forty-four patients underwent retroperitoneal laparoscopic partial nephrectomy from Jan. 2012 to Jan. 2014. All of them were divided into observe group (WIT>30 min) and control group (WIT≤30 min). The differences of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) of operative kidney Pre- and post-operatively between two groups were analyzed. Results: The pre- and post-operative GFRs of operative kidney in observe group were 29.3-53.0 mL/min[(33.1±5.2) mL/min], 23.1-40.5 mL/min[(27.3±5.9) mL/min] respectively (P=0.054). The pre-and post-operative GFRs of operative kidney in control group were 27.4-49.6 mL/min[(32.3±4.1) mL/min], 23.8-44.4 mL/min[(29.1±5.0) mL/min], respectively (P=0.07). There was no statistically differences of the depth of the decrease of GFRs after surgery between the two groups (P=0.051). Conclusion: WIT of 30-60 min does not result in statistically signiifcant injury for ipsilateral residual renal function. However, it is still necessary to reserve more ipsilateral residual renal function through minimizing WIT under the premise of ensuring the safety of surgery.

Objective To verify the efficacy and safety of intravesical instillation of Cystistat in reducing complications caused by intravesical chemotherapy after TUR-BT in non-muscle invasive bladder cancer patients. Methods One hundred and twenty patients who met the inclusion/exclusion criteria were enrolled into this multi-centered, randomized and blank controlled clinical study. Selected patients were randomized into the observation group and control group. TUR-BT was carried out in both groups followed by pirarubicin (THP) and Cystistat intravesical instillation in the observation group, and THP intravesical instillation alone in control group. Visual analog scale (VAS) was used as the primary efficacy variable. The secondary efficacy variables were assessments of hematuria and bladder irritation symptoms. Adverse events, laboratory tests and changes of vital signs before and after treatment were strictly observed during observation to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Cystistat.Results Demographics and baseline characteristics were comparable in both groups. The differences and the improvement rate of VAS score in the 2 groups were significant, both P<0.01. The changes of VAS score and the improvement rate before and after treatment were (2. 24±1.70) and (92. 92±14.76) % in observation group and (0. 70±1.82) and (20. 59±87.34)% in control group respectively. According to the covariance analysis, there were significant differences in changes of VAS score between the observation group and the control group. Also, the improvement rate of VAS score was significant from visit 2. The urine frequency decreased from 9.06±4.09 to 6. 69±2.89 in observation group and increased from 8. 85±3. 32 to 10. 15±4.40 in control group, P<0.01. There were also significant differences in changes of nocturia before and after treatment between these two groups (P<0.01), the nocturia decreased from 2. 88±1.74 to 1. 47±1.62 in observation group and 3. 22±2.30 to 2.91±1.73 in control group, respectively. The changes of WHO assessment for hematuria,urgency and dysuria were not significantly different between the 2 groups. No Cystistat related adverse event was observed. Conclusions Cystistat combined instillation can significantly improve the VAS score of patients with chemotherapeutic agent instillation. Relief of bladder pain, frequency and nocturia are more rapidly and more durable in Cystistat combined instillation group. The improvement is more effective in patients with a high VAS score. Cystistat instillation with chemotherapeutics agents is both well tolerated and safe.
