Laparoscopic partial cystectomy with bilateral pelvic lymphadenectomy for urachal adenocarcinoma / 中华泌尿外科杂志

Objective To discuss the techniques and clinical efficacy of laparoscopic partial cystectomy with bilateral pelvic lymphadenectomy for urachal adenocarcinoma. Methods From July 2006 to April 2008, 4 patients with urachal adenocarcinoma were managed by the laparoscopic procedure. Three patients were male, the other one was female, with a median age of 51 (range 42 to 66)years. The mean size of tumors was 3.4(rang 1.9 to 5.4)cm in diameter. Three of them were diagnosed as mucinous adenocarcinoma, the other one was adenocarcinoma. There was 1 patient at stage Ⅱ , and the other three as stage Ⅲ according to Sheldon Stage. Four patients were performed by transperitoneal approach. The boundaries of resection were similar to the open surgery, including resection of the tumor with normal margins, the peritoneum lateral to the two medial unbilical ligaments,the posterior sheath of the rectus muscle and the muscle fibers of the rectus muscle below it, and bilateral pelvic lymphanodes. Results The procedure was successfully in all 4 patients, with a mean operative time of 220(range 150 to 350)min, a mean estimated blood loss of 180 (range 120 to 290)ml.No significant intraoperative or postoperative complications occurred, except for an inferior epigastric artery injury in 1 case. The mean postoperative in-dwelling urinary catheter time was 6 (range 5 to 7)d, and the mean postoperative hospital stay was 6 (range 5 to 8)d. All 36 resected lymph nodes (range 8 to 11) were negative. At a median follow-up of 25(range 15 to 36) months, there was no evidence of recurrent disease by radiologic or cystoscopic evaluation. ConclusionLaparoscopic partial cystectomy and bilateral extended pelvic lymphadenectomy in selected patients with urachal tumors could be a safe, feasible, minimally invasive procedure.

Expression of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 in the interstitial cystitis patients / 中华泌尿外科杂志

Objective To investigate the levels of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1(MCP-1)in the bladder tissue and urine of female interstitial cystitis(IC)patients. Methods Thirty-five IC patients according tO the NIDDK IC diagnosis standard,20 urinary infection (UI) patients and 25 asymptomatic controls were collected.All IC patients were accepted 24 hour voiding diaries,O'LearySant IC Questionnaires,potassium sensitivity test (PST) and cystoscopy under anesthetic.RT-PCR and ELISA analyses were used to determine the levels of MCP-1 in the bladder tissue and urine specimens from women with IC、UI and controls.Immunohistochemistry staining was used to observe the distribution of MCP-1 in bladder tissue of IC. Results Urine MCP-1 was (74.1±36.9)pg/ml in IC patients,(280.65±68.9)pg/ml in UI patients and(10.8±6.9)pg/ml in asymptomatic controls(P＜0.01).Tissue MCP-1 was 76.2±24.0 in IC patients,99.5±30.1 in UI patients and 36.1±14.1 in asymptomatic controls(P＜0.01)by RT-PCR analyses.The MCP-1 degree increased in IC patients was between UI patients and asyrnptomatie controls.The severity of IC clinical symptom Was correlated with MCP1 levels. Conclusions The changes in the levels of MCP-1 are associated with IC.After excluding urinary infection,it would be useful for early diagnosis of IC by increased level of MCP-1.

Prostate sarcomatoid carcinoma (with 2 cases report and literature review) / 中华泌尿外科杂志

Objective To investigate the clinical presentations, pathologic features, and the di-agnosis and treatment of prostate sarcomatoid carcinoma. Methods Two cases of prostate sarcoma-told carcinoma were analyzed with review of the relevant literature. Case 1, a 51-year-old man com-plained of dysuria and perineal discomfort for 2 months, was admitted because of acute urinary reten-tion. His serum PSA was 2.31 ng/ml. Heterogeneous density of the prostate left lobe and bladder neck involvement was shown on CT scan. Prostate sarcomatoid carcinoma was confirmed by transrec-tal prostate biopsy, and patient accepted radical cystoprostatectomy and ideal conduit followed with lo-cal radiotherapy and hormonal therapy. Case 2 was a 54-year-old male. This ease was admitted with a history of dysuria and intermittent gross hematuria for 1 month. Hypoechoic lesion was found by ul-trasonography,and heterogeneous density of the prostate was shown on CT scan. His serum PSA was 2.61 ng/ml. The prostate biopsy result showed prostate sarcoma. Radical cystoprostatectomy and ide-al conduit was performed on this case. Results The diagnosis of prostate sarcomatoid carcinoma in the 2 cases was confirmed by postoperative pathology. Under microscope, the neoplasm was mainly composed of epithelial and sarcomatoid mesenchymal cells,with a transitional region of these cells. Im-munohistochemical staining showed that the cells were positive for cytokeratin and epithelial membrane antigen. Vimentin was negative in the epithelial cells, but was positive in the majority of sarcomatoid cell. Both patients died of multi-metastasis at 43 and 19 months after surgery respectively. Conclu-sions Sarcomatoid carcinoma of the prostate is extremely rare with a high grade of malignancy,and its prognosis is poor. The diagnosis depends on pathological features and immunohistochemical studies. Radical resection combined with endocrine therapy and radiotherapy is considered to be the most relia-ble treatment so far.

Genetic polymorphisms in methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase and clinical response to chemotherapy in non-small cell lung cancer / 中国肺癌杂志

<p><b>BACKGROUND</b>Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) plays an important role in metabolism of folate and DNA methylation. In vitro, many studies have demonstrated that abnormal methylation of some genes may affect the sensitivity of tumor cells to cytotoxic drugs and agents interfering with DNA synthesis. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between genetic polymorphisms of MTHFR C677T or A1298C and the response to platinum-based chemotherapy in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).</p><p><b>METHODS</b>A total of 97 patients with NSCLC were analyzed. MTHFR genotypes were detected in all the patients by PCR-RFLP method. All the patients were treated with platinum-based chemotherapy.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>(1) Out of all the cases, the frequencies of MTHFR C677T C/C, C/T and T/T genotypes were 34.0%, 50.5% and 15.5%, respectively, while the frequencies of MTHFR A1298C A/A, A/C and C/C genotypes were 64.6%, 29.2% and 6.3%, respectively. The overall response rate (complete and partial response) to platinum-based chemotherapy was 39.2%. (2) No significant difference in response rate to chemotherapy was observed according to the MTHFR C677T or A1298C genotypes. However, MTHFR C677T and A1298C polymorphisms showed a synergic effect on chemotherapeutic efficacy, the response rate of patients with MTHFR C677T T allele and A1298C A/A genotype (51.1%) was significantly higher than those with MTHFR C677T C/T and A1298C C allele (12.5%)(P=0.007, OR=7.30, 95% CI: 1.34-52.47).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>The results suggest that the synergic effect between MTHFR C677T and A1298C polymorphisms is associated with clinical response to platinum-based chemotherapy. Detection of MTHFR genotypes may indicate the sensitivity of NSCLC patients to platinum-based chemotherapy.</p>
