ABSTRACT
Objective The purpose of this work was to compare the efficacy of narrow band imaging-assisted transurethral resection of bladder tumour (TURB) with conventional white light imagingassisted TURB in primary non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer.Methods Several databases were searched,including Cochrance Libarary,PubMed,Embase,Wanfang,VIP,CNKI and CBM.The endpoints were biochemical failure in 3 months,1 year and 2 years.We performed a meta-analysis of the published data.The results are expressed as risk ratio (RR),with the corresponding 95％ confidence interval (CI).Results The final analysis included seven trials comprising 1889 patients.Biochemical failure in 3months (RR0.73,95％ CI 0.55-0.96;P =0.02),1 year(RR 0.69,95％ CI 0.58-0.80;P ＜ 0.01) and 2 years (RR 0.58,95％ CI 0.41-0.82;P =0.002) were fewer in patients who received narrow band imagingassisted TURB.The recurrence rates of 3 months,1 year and 2 years were 14.44％,29.35％ and 30％ in white light imaging group.The recurrence rates of 3 months,1 year and 2 years were 3.61％,9.35％ and 12.59％ lower in narrow band imaging group compared with white light imaging group.Conclusions Narrow band imaging-assisted TURB was superior to conventional white light imaging-assisted TURB in primary non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer in 2 years.
ABSTRACT
Objective To compare the efficacy of balloon dilation and YAG laser endouretertomy in treatment of secondary ureteric stricture . Methods 32 patients with secondary ureteral stricture were randomly divided into balloon dilatation group and holmium laser cut group, 16 cases in each, respectively. The two kinds of treatment efficacy was compared after two years postoperative follow-up. Results The clinical results of the two groups showed no statistical differences at the third, sixth and twelfth month follow-up (P > 0.05), and there were no statistical differences in the overall effective rates (P > 0.05). The clinical results of the two groups showed no statistical difference at the twenty-fourth month follow-up (P < 0.05), and the overall effective rates had statistical difference (P < 0.05). Conclusions Balloon dilation and YAG laser endouretertomy in treatment of secondary ureteral stricture have the same short-term clinical effects. But the middle-term efficacy of YAG laser endouretertomy is superior to that of balloon dilation.
ABSTRACT
Prostate cancer is a common malignant disease in elder men, and it is the second leading death cause in male cancer patients. The incidence rate of prostate cancer has been increasing year by year, and it is ranked the third in the incidence rate of urologic cancers in China. The oncolytic adenovirus carrying specific promoter has been used as a novel target of antitumor therapy. The adenovirus has specific effects on tumor cells and can express downstream therapeutic genes to inhibit the growth of tumor cells, but it can't influence the normal cells or only has weak influence. At present, oncolytic adenovirus carrying specific promoter which has been used widely in basic and clinical studies has showed unique advantages in great antitumor effect and medication safety. This paper reviews the several biological molecules, which have been found during the construction of oncolytic adenovirus, may potentially become to be prostate cancer-specific promoters.
