ABSTRACT
Bladder cancer common tumor has been closely watched as the uropoiesis surgical department, its incidence is also gradually rising in recent years, although the early detection and transurethral bladder tumor surgery for the treatment of patients with bladder cancer has played a positive role, but the clinical treatment of patients with locally advanced and metastatic bladder cancer effect is not ideal. The wide application of chemotherapy, radiotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy and the combination of various regimens in clinical practice is expected to bring more benefits to elderly patients with advanced bladder cancer.
ABSTRACT
Objective To determine vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)-460 gene polymorphism in Uyghurs and its relationship to urolithiasis in south Xinjiang. Methods Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP),gene sequencing and genetic analysis methods were used in 200 urolithiasis patients of Uyghurs, and 200 healthy Uyghurs. Results The distribution of genotype and allele had no significant difference between urolithiasis patients and normal controls (P＞0. 05). The frequencies for the CC,TT and CT genotypes in patients with urolithiasis and normal controls were 1.5 %, 29.0 %, 69.5 % and 0. 5 %, 27.5 %, 72.0 %, respectively. The frequencies for C and T allele were 36.2%,63.7% and 36.9% ,63.1%, respectively. Conclusions The results of VEGF-460 gene polymorphisms indicate no significant relationship between patients with turolithiasis and normal controls in Uyghurs in south Xinjiang,which may not be urolithiasis susceptibility genetic locus.
ABSTRACT
Purpose To clarify the morphologic changes and significance of interstitial cells of Cajal-like cells in the bladder of diabetic guinea pig.Methods The experimental guinea pigs were induced by a single intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin(STZ).The diabetic guinea pig model, who were made succesful for 4 weeks, were detected through the urodynamic evaluation.The distribution of ICCs-like cells in the detrusor, which were taken from these guinea pigs,were quantitatively analyzed after frozen section and indirect immunofluorescence methods and observed by electron microscopy.Results In the diabetic group, the maximum detrusor pressure was signifently lower than controls (P＜0.01), maximum bladder capacity, compliance, residual volume and leak point pressures was significently higer than controls (P＜0.05 or P＜0.01);In detrusor, compared with control, the ICCs-like cells of diabetes group showed significently decreased in quantity. In diabetic bladder, the quantity of gap junctions between ICCs-like cells and cells around,such as smoth muscle cells,terminal nerves and other ICCs-like cells,decreased significently.And more cavities and less organoids occurred in cytoplasm of diabetic ICCs-like cells. Mitochondria became swollen or even disapeared, accompanied with swollen endocytoplasmic reticulum.Conclusion The decrease and injures of ICCs-like cells in bladder may be one of the mechanisms resulting in urodynamic changes of diabetic cystopathy.
