ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the the operative time of two stage soft ureteroscope lithotripsy for hemorrhagic embolism after percutaneous nephrolithotomy(PCNL).Methods The clinical data of 1 patient with massive hemorrhage after PCNL who treated with superselective renal artery embolization and ureteral soft lens were analyzed.Results The patient with postoperative bleeding after PCNL was treated with superselective renal artery branch embolization,after 30d embolization,the holmium laser lithotripsy under the soft ureteroscope for ureteral calculi was performed,and the renal pelvis mucosa smooth,no bleeding and scar formation were intraoperative visible.After operation,the stone was removed basically,and the double J tube was removed 2 weeks after operation.The patient had no special discomfort and the renal function was normal.Conclusion Postoperative 14-30d is a relatively safe time to perform flexible ureteroscopic lithotripsy for super selective renal artery embolization in the treatment of patient with massive hemorrhage after PCNL.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the correlation of polymorphism of 8473 (T/C,rs5275) in the 3′-untranslated region of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) gene with bladder cancer. Methods A case-control study on the relation between COX-2 polymorphism and bladder cancer was performed in this study. The Taqman SNP genotyping assay was used to study the COX-2 rs5275 polymorphism. Results The differences in allele or genotype distributions of COX-2 rs5275 between cases and controls (all P 0.05). Conlusion The separate effect of rs5275 polymorphism of COX-2 is associated with the susceptibility of bladder cancer, the TC/CC genotypes may be a protective factor.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the preliminary mechanism of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in promoting prostate cancer proliferation in tumor inflammatory microenvironment.Methods From April 2013 to October 2013,MSCs pretreated with inflammatory cytokine IL-1α (MSCs (IL-1α)) and its culture supernatants mixed with RM-1 cells,which origined from C57BL/6 mice,were subcutaneously administered in the armpit area of C57BL/6 or BALB/c mice to establish homologous or heterologous transplant animal mode and to detect the tumor growth.Meanwhile the influence of MSCs on the proliferation of spleen cells was detected in vitro.Results In homologous transplant model,the relative tumor weight of prostate cancer cells prtreated with MSCs and MSCs (IL-1α) and their culture supernatant were (3.4 ± 0.2),(3.3 ±0.2),(4.9±0.5),and (5.2±0.6) g.The results were statistically significant (P＜0.05) compared with the control group (2.4±0.2) g.In heterologous model,the ratio of tumor formation of the pretreated groups were 50％,50％,80％ and 80％,respectively,compared with the control group of 0％.The results were statistically significant (P＜0.05).In proliferation experiments of spleen cells,the number of spleen cell pretreated with IL-1α were significantly lower than that in control group and unpretreated group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions MSCs pretreated with IL-1α could effectively promote the growth of prostate cancer cell in vivo.The reason may be due to inflammatory cytokines induce immune suppression of MSCs and then lead to immune escape of cancer cells.
