Effect of two types of anesthesia on obturator nerve reflex and postoperative recovery in patients undergoing transurethral resection for bladder tumors / 基础医学与临床

Objective To observe the effects of ultrasound-guided modified obturator nerve block(ONB)combined with remazolam anesthesia on obturator nerve reflex(ONR)and postoperative recovery of patients with transurethral resection of bladder tumors(TURBT).Methods One hundred patients with bladder tumor admitted to Qinhuangd-ao Hospital from June 2019 to June 2021 were treated with TURBT.They were divided into conventional group(in-traspinal anesthesia+traditional ONB anesthesia)and ultrasound group(intraspinal anesthesia+improved ONB combined with remidazolam anesthesia under ultrasound guidance)with 50 cases in each according to different ONB methods.Perioperative indexes,hemodynamic indexes at different time points,intraoperative ONR occur-rence,complications and adverse anesthesia reactions were compared between the two groups.Results Compared with conventional group,ONB time,operation time,catheter indwelling time and hospital stay were shortened,and intraoperative blood loss was decreased in ultrasound group(P＜0.05).Compared with the conventional group at 30 min after administration(T1)and at the end of operation(T2),the mean arterial pressure(MAP)and oxygen saturation(SaO2)were increased in the ultrasound group(P＜0.05).Compared with the convention-al group,the incidence of ONR and bladder bleeding was decreased,and the incidence of postoperative bradycar-dia,nausea and vomiting were decreased in the ultrasound group(P＜0.05).Conclusions Ultrasound-guided modified ONB combined with remazolam anesthesia can effectively improve perioperative indexes of TURBT,re-duce intraoperative ONR and bladder bleeding,and have little influence on hemodynamics with few postoperative adverse anesthesia reactions.

Effects of transurethral en-blocresection of bladder tumor on urination function,serum chitin enzymes protein-40,bladder cancer specific antigen-1,recombinant paraoxonase-1 Levels in patients with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer / 临床外科杂志

Objective To explore the effects of transurethral en-blocresection of bladder tumor(TeURBT)on urination function,serum chitinase protein 40(YKL-40),bladder specific nuclear matrix protein-1(BLCA-1),and p-oxyfossase-1(PON-1)levels in patients with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer(NMIBC).Methods 74 patients with NMIBC admitted to our Hospital from January 2019 to May 2022 were divided into TeURBT group and transurethral resection of bladder tumor(TURBT)group by random lottery,with 37 cases in each group.The effective tumor clearance rate,surgery and urination function indexes were compared between the two groups.Blood samples were collected before surgery,3 months,6 months and 12 months after surgery to determine the levels of serum YKL-40,BLCA-1 and PON-1,and the recurrence rate was analyzed at 12 months of follow-up.Results The effective resection rate of bladder tumor was 100.00％in both groups.The operative time in TeURBT group was significantly longer than that in TURBT group(P＜0.05),and the intraoperative blood loss,catheter indwelling/bladder irrigation/hospitalization time in TeURBT group were significantly less than those in TURBT group(P＜0.05).Urinary output and maximum urinary flow per second in both groups significantly increased on postoperative day 14(P＜0.05),but there was no statistically significant difference in the above indexes between the two groups on postoperative day 14(P＞0.05).The levels of serum YKL-40 and BLCA-1 in the two groups at 3,6 and 12 months after surgery significantly decreased(P＜0.05),while the level of PON-1 significantly increased(P＜0.05).There were no statistically significant differences in serum YKL-40 and PON-1 levels between the two groups at 3 and 6 months after surgery(P＞0.05),while serum YKL-40 and BLCA-1 levels in the TeURBT group were significantly lower than those in the TURBT group at 12 months after surgery(P＜0.05),and PON-1 levels were significantly higher than those in the TURBT group(P＜0.05).The stages in the TeURBT group could be accurately diagnosed after operation,and the postoperative pathological stages were Ta stage in 24 cases and T1 stage in 13 cases.The total incidence of postoperative complications in TeURBT group and cumulative incidence of recurrence in 1-year follow-up were 5.40％,which was significantly lower than 24.32％and 21.62％in TURBT group(P＜0.05).Conclusion The effective resection rate of TeURBT and TURBT in the treatment of NMIBC tumor is similar,which can effectively improve the urination function of patients,downregulation of serum YKL-40 and BLCA-1 levels,and up-regulation of PON-1 levels.Compared with TURBT,TeURBT has advantages of less intraoperative blood loss,fewer postoperative complications,faster recovery,and lower recurrence rate.

Feasibility study of transurethral en-bloc resection of bladder tumor under electronic flexible cystoscopy combined with adjuvant therapy for bladder-preservation-therapy in T 2 stage bladder cancer / 中华泌尿外科杂志

Objective:To investigate the feasibility of combination of en-bloc resection of bladder tumor (ERBT) with the NBI(narrow band imaging) flexible cystoscopy, immunotherapy and chemotherapy in bladder-preserving treatments(called as TMT) for patients with stage T 2 bladder carcinoma. Methods:We retrospectively reviewed and analyzed a series of 16 patients with pT 2N 0M 0 pathologically confirmed. All patients are male with a median age of 63yr(56, 73yr). The American Association of Anesthesiologists scored ≤Ⅱ in 12 cases and Ⅲ in 4 cases. There were 9 cases with smoking history, 5 cases with hypertension, 3 cases with diabetes, and 2 cases with heart disease. The results of preoperative tissue biopsy were all urothelial carcinoma. All patients were taken lithotomy position and performed ERBT with NBI imaging technique and thulium-laser energy platform under general anesthesia. The tumor was brown and the surrounding normal mucosa was cyan in color. The procedure was ensured with a minimal tumor margin of 1cm and minimal rection depth to the deep musculi, and with the acquirement for the en-bloc specimen of which the basal site was marked afterwards, the patients all took a full length of chemoimmunotherapy (four cycles of Tislelizumab combined with Gemcitabine and cisplatin regimens) followed by a secondary ERBT. The perioperative data from sequential operations including complications were comprehensively analyzed for evaluating the therapeutic outcome and safety. All patients received a follow-up to detect efficacy and safety of the treatment with the primary end point of pCR, downgrading rate and objective response rate. Results:All operations were successfully completed. There was no obturator reflex, severe bleeding or grade Ⅱ bladder perforation, only 4 patients got a grade Ⅰ bladder perforation. The postoperative 30-day complication occured in 2 cases(1 pt with hematuresis, 1 pt with bladder irritation). The pathologic complete response rate and tumor downstaging rate were 100%. One patient recurred during a median follow-up of 13.0 months (6, 36 months).Conclusions:The En Bloc Resection of Bladder Tumor with the narrow band imaging (NBI) flexible cystoscopy has several remarkable advantages, including a better intra-operative visual, a lower complication rate and tumor residual. The combination of ERBT with immunotherapy and chemotherapy lead to affirmative curative effect and the feasibility for clinical application is relatively high.

The efficacy and safety of transurethral partial cystectomy combined with intravesical suturation in the treatment of bladder cancer / 中华泌尿外科杂志

Objective:To summarize the efficacy and safety of transurethral partial cystectomy combined with intravesical suturation in the treatment of bladder cancer.Methods:The clinical data of 28 patients with bladder cancer who were admitted in Zhengzhou People's Hospital from July 2020 to October 2021 were analyzed retrospectively. There were 22 males and 6 females, with the average age of (68.8±8.9) years old. Twenty cases were with single bladder tumor, and 8 cases were with multiple bladder tumors. The diameter of single bladder tumor measured by CT was less than 4 cm, with a median tumor diameter of 2.3(0.9, 2.8)cm. All 28 patients underwent transurethral partial cystectomy combined with intravesical suturation for the first time. Intraoperative intravesical instillation was conducted with 1 g gemcitabine. Bladder hot reperfusion treatment was performed with gemcitabine 2 g at 45℃ immediately after operation. The patients underwent reexamination with cystoscopy every 3 months after operation.Results:All the 28 patients successfully completed the operation. The average operation time was (128.3±16.3)min. No obturator nerve reflection was induced during operation. Muscularis tissue was found in all tumor pathological specimens after operation, among which 4 cases showed muscularis infiltration. Pathology of tumor basal and peripheral tissues showed tumor cell infiltration in 3 cases (1 case full-thickness infiltration, namely the incision margin was positive). The median continuous irrigation time of bladder after operation was 24.0(20.9, 25.0)h. The median time of indwelling catheter after operation was 6.5(6.0, 7.0)days, and one case developed severe bladder spasm. All patients were followed up, with a median follow-up of 7.5(4.0, 10.8) months.Postoperative recurrence occurred in 3 cases, all of which were ectopic recurrence in bladder.The 1-year recurrence rate was 10.7% (3/28).Conclusions:In the first surgical treatment of bladder cancer, transurethral partial cystectomy combined with intravesical suturation can provide accurate pathological staging, and low positive surgical margin rate. Immediate suturation of bladder wound during operation and immediate bladder perfusion chemotherapy can provide short bladder irrigation time, with few adverse reactions and low incidence of complications.

Value of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of urothelial carcinoma of bladder / 中华超声影像学杂志

Objective:To evaluate the value of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of bladder urothelial carcinoma(BUC).Methods:A comparative analysis of 138 patients with bladder lesions (123 cases of BUC and 15 cases of other benign lesions) who were hospitalized in Union Hospital, Fujian Medical University from January 2019 to May 2021 were confirmed by pathology. All patients underwent two-dimensional ultrasound, color Doppler ultrasound, CEUS examination, the time intensity curve (TIC) of the region of interest(ROI) before operation was drawn, the ultrasound examination results with the pathological diagnosis results were compared and its diagnostic efficiency was analyzed.Results:Among the 138 cases of bladder lesions, 98 cases were single lesions and 40 cases were multiple lesions. In all single lesions, 95 cases were found by two-dimensional ultrasound and 3 cases were missed, while in all multiple lesions, 24 cases were found by two-dimensional ultrasound and 16 cases were missed, but all cases could be shown by CEUS. The sensitivity of CEUS to multiple bladder lesions was higher than that of two-dimensional ultrasound ( P<0.05). Besides, the differences between BUC and benign lesions in color blood flow distribution intensity and CEUS performance were significant (both P<0.05). Malignant lesions were mostly "less- to -rich" blood flow signals, and benign lesions were mainly "less- to- no" blood flow signals.In addition, in the CEUS examination, 83.7% (103/123) of BUC were high enhancement, and only 33.3% (5/15) of benign lesions were high enhancement. The diagnostic accuracy, specificity and negative predictive value of CEUS(89.9%, 46.7%, 53.8%) were higher than that of two-dimensional ultrasound(67.4%, 13.3%, 13.3%). The area under the curve, the rising slope and the peak intensity of BUC were all higher than those of benign lesions, and the differences were significant(all P<0.05), but none of them was independent risk factor for BUC ( P>0.05). Conclusions:CEUS can significantly improve the diagnostic sensitivity of bladder multiple lesions and help to improve the diagnostic accuracy of BUC, while the area under the curve, the rising slope and the peak intensity of TIC were not the independent risk factors for BUC.

Leiomyoma of the bladder presenting with an ovarian new growth: A case report and review of literature

@#Benign mesenchymal tumors of the urinary bladder are extremely rare. This is a case of a 56- year old female presenting with an enlarging abdomen initially managed as a case of an ovarian new growth. Aside from the ruptured ovarian mass, a urinary bladder mass was also noted intraoperatively and a surgical dilemma was resolved by imaging review. The patient underwent exploratory laparotomy, enterolysis, total hysterectomy, bilateral salpingooophorectomy, and partial cystectomy. Final histopathology identified the bladder tumor to be a leiomyoma. The patient had an uneventful postoperative course. Awareness of this clinical entity and presentation will aid in diagnosis and management.

Effect of Intravesical Instillation Therapy on Cancer-specific Survival Rate of Stage T1 Non-muscle-invasive Bladder Transitional Cell Carcinoma Patients After Transurethral Resection / 肿瘤防治研究

Objective To investigate the effect of transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) with or without intravesical instillation therapy on cancer-specific-survival rate (CSS) of T1 stage non-muscle-invasive bladder transitional cell carcinoma (BTCC) patients. Methods The data of patients diagnosed with T1 stage non-muscle-invasive BTCC from 2010 to 2015 were obtained from the SEER database. The different dividing groups were based on TURBT with or without intravesical instillation therapy. A 1:1 PSM method was used to balance the differences in baseline data between each group. Herein, Kaplan-Meier methods were used to draw survival curves, and the difference between OS and CSS were compared by Log rank test. In addition, univariate and multivariate Cox regressionanalyses were used to explore the independent risk factors of CSS. Results The OS and CSS of patients in the TURBT combined with intravesical instillation therapy group were higher than those of the TURBT alone group (P < 0.05). TURBT combined with intravesical instillation therapy was a protective factor in prognosis with T1 stage non-muscle-invasive BTCC patients (HR=0.783, 95%CI: 0.650-0.942, P < 0.01). Conclusion TURBT combined with intravesical instillation therapy improves the CSS of patients with T1 stage non-muscle-invasive BTCC.

Current Status of Radical Cystectomy on High-risk Nonmuscle Invasive Bladder Cancer / 肿瘤防治研究

Nonmuscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) is mainly composed of three different types of tumors: papillary urothelial carcinoma is limited to the mucosal layer (Ta), high-grade carcinoma in situ is limited to the epithelial layer (CIS) and tumors invading the submucosa or lamina propria (T1). The standard treatment for NMIBC is complete transurethral resection of bladder tumors (TURBT) with or without intravesical instillation therapies. However, some high-risk patients are at risk of tumor progression and therefore require more aggressive treatment. Studies have reported that delayed cystectomy can lead to a significant reduction in survival benefits. Therefore, for these NMIBC patients who are at high risk of disease progression, when to abandon conservative treatment and choose cystectomy is one of the biggest challenges. This article reviews the current application status and future directions of radical cystectomy as the initial treatment on NMIBC patients.

Analysis of self-control trial results of narrow band imaging and white light in transurethral resection of bladder tumor / 北京大学学报(医学版)

OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the effect of NBI assisted white light transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) in the treatment of bladder urothelial carcinoma and to summarize the experience of narrow band imaging (NBI) operation.@*METHODS@#Patients with bladder urothelial carcinoma were selected, and TURBT was performed after anesthesia. First of all, the bladder tumor was found and resected under white light. Then we replaced with NBI, looked for suspicious lesions and resected them, The specimens excised under white light and NBI were collected separately. The number, location and pathological results of the lesions under white light were recorded, and the residual lesions under NBI were also recorded. To evaluate the effect of NBI, the ratio of residual bladder tumor was calculated. The cases were divided into three groups according to the time sequence. The clinical data of each group were collected and the learning curve of TURBT under NBI assisted white light was observed.@*RESULTS@#A prospective study of 45 patients with bladder tumor from April 2018 to January 2020, including 32 males and 13 females, aged from 23 to 89 years, with an average age of 65.2 years. All the operations were successfully completed, without obvious complications after operation. Nine cases were single and 36 cases were multiple. The maximum diameter of the tumors was 0.5 to 4.0 cm, with an average of 2.2 cm. The histopathology of the resected tissue under white light was urothelial carcinoma, and 19 cases (42.2%) were pathologically positive by NBI resection. The 45 cases were divided into three groups according to the time sequence, 15 cases in each group. The true positive rate of NBI was 33.3%, 46.7% and 46.7%, respectively, and the false positive rate was 60.0%, 46.7% and 26.7%, respectively in the three groups.@*CONCLUSION@#TURBT is an effective way to treat bladder urothelial cancer, NBI is an effective supplement of white light, which can increase the detection rate of bladder cancer and reduce post-operative recurrence. The NBI light source has a certain learning curve. With the increase of cases, the false-positive rate of NBI is gradually reduced. After the NBI operator has rich experience, the recognition degree of flat tumor is gradually improved under white light, and the residual rate of NBI is reduced after the removal under white light.

A rare case of asymptomatic leiomyoma of the urinary bladder

Operation mode to prevent obturator nerve reflex in plasmakinetic resection of bladder tumor / 中华泌尿外科杂志

Objective To observe the results and reality of transurethral resection of bladder tumor with preexcitation of electric cutting loop in the prevention of obturator nerve reflex.Methods The clinical data of 186 patients with bladder tumors admitted from January 2015 to August 2018 were retrospectively analyzed.There were 112 males and 74 females aged 35 to 83 years,average (59 ± 11)years.76 patients were admitted because of intermittent gross hematuria and 110 patients were admitted because of physical check-up.All patients underwent ultrasound,CT (plain scan/enhancement) and cystoscopy before operation.The pathological diagnosis of cystoscopy biopsy was bladder urothelial cell carcinoma.There were 105 cases clinical stage Ta stage,81 cases of T1 stage.There were 103 single cases and 39 multiple cases of non-muscular invasive bladder.According to the different surgical techniques,the patients were divided into two groups:the pre-excitation group and lateral incision group.There were 142 cases in pre-excitation group.In the pre-excitation group,the tumors were removed routinely by the resection ring.When the resection ring was far away from the tumors,the pedal switch was pressed to excite the resection ring.The resection ring was moved to the location of the tumors,and the tumors were cut to the muscular layer.The operation was completed after 2 cm electric cauterization around the wound and hemostasis.In the lateral incision group,the tumors were removed routinely by the electric resection ring.The operation time,incidence of obturator nerve reflex,incidence of bladder perforation,amount of bleeding,retention time of catheter,pathological grading,risk grading,hospitalization time and recurrence rate of tumors at 6 months after operation were compared between the two groups.Results The operation was successfully completed in both groups,and there was no transition to open operation.In the pre-excitation group,the operation time was 10 minutes to 56 minutes,with an average of (28 ± 12) minutes,and the intraoperative blood loss ranged from 5 ml to 70 ml,with an average of (35 ± 15) ml.In the lateral incision group,the operation time was 15 minutes to 65 minutes,with an average of (28 ± 11) minutes,and the blood loss was 10 ml to 80 ml,with an average of (40 ± 15) ml.There was no significant difference in operation time and blood loss between the two groups (P ＞ 0.05).There were only 3 cases of obturator nerve reflex in preexcitation group,the incidence was 2.1％.There were 13 cases of obturator nerve reflex in lateral resection group,the incidence was 29.5％.There was significant difference of nerve reflex incidence between the two groups (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions In transurethral resection of bladder tumors,the method of pre-excitation of plasma resection ring can effectively decrease obturator nerve reflex and make the operation safer.

Value of European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer score system for predication of immediate postoperative intravesical instillation of pirarubicin after transurethral resection of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer / 中华肿瘤杂志

Objective@#To assess value of immediate postoperative intravesical instillation of pirarubicin after transurethral resection (TURBT)of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer.@*Methods@#484 patients diagnosed with non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer admitted to the Second Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University were divided into two groups after transurethral resection of bladder tumor. 285 patients received postoperative intravesical instillation of pirarubicin within 6 hours after the surgery, 199 patients received first instillation of pirarubicin at 10 days after the surgery, after that, all the patients received routine bladder perfusion chemotherapy. Patients who received intravesical instillation of pirarubicin within 6 hours were defined as immediate intravesical instillation group and the other patients as the control group. Based on the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer risk tables, scores of recurrence and progression of patients were calculated and then stratified into risk groups accordingly. Recurrence and progression rates of the immediate intravesical instillation group were analyzed and then compared with the corresponding reference of the risk tables.@*Results@#The 1-year and 5-year recurrence rate of patients with EORTC table scoring 0 in the immediate intravesical instillation group were significantly lower than that of the EORTC reference group (5.3% and 14.0% vs 15.0% and 31.0%, P<0.05). 1-year recurrence free rate between the immediate intravesical instillation group and the control group in patients scoring 1-4 was significantly different (81.3% vs 76.7%, P=0.014). However, 1-year recurrence free rate of the immediate intravesical instillation group was comparable with that of the control group in patients scoring 5-9, 10-17(P>0.05), which is quite close to the EORTC reference. The probability rates of 1-year and 5-year progression of the 285 patients who received immediate intravesical instillation group did not show significant difference with the EORTC reference. On multivariate analysis, previous recurrence, tumor grade G2-3, tumor multiplicity, delay of immediate intravesical instillation were independent risk factors of recurrence(P<0.05).@*Conclusions@#With the help of EORTC recurrence risk table stratifying the patients into different risk groups, our study showed that delay of immediate postoperative intravesical instillation of chemotherapy after TURBT was an independent risk factor of post-surgery recurrence of tumor. Moreover, patients with EORTC scoring 1-4 might obtain greatest benefits.

Objective The aim of this research was to produce apparatus of urinary diversion using silk-fibroin loading rab-bit adipose stem cells,and assess the effect of urinary diversion in a rabbit model.Methods Adipose stem cells were obtained and cultured in vitro,and flow cytometry analysis was performed to determine the adipose stem cells.These cultured adipose stem cells were used to seed on the silk-fibroin scaffolds,and after being incubated in the conditioned medium for 7 days,the a-bove compounds were made into apparatus of urinary diversion.This apparatus of urinary diversion was implanted into 20 rab-bits with radical cystectomy to develop urinary diversion.Five rabbits from each experimental group were euthanized at the spe-cific time points(1,2,3,4 months postoperatively),and the implants were harvested for histological and immunohistochemical a-nalysis.In the control group,silk-fibroins with unseeded cells(only silk-protein scaffolds)were also made into apparatus of uri-nary diversion and then used as urinary diversion on another 5 rabbits with the same process.Results Rabbits adipose stem cells were isolated and cultured successfully,and determined by flow cytometry.The silk-fibroin scaffolds were synthesized suc-cessfully.All rabbits were alive in the experimental group until the time of sacrifice.Histological and immunohistochemical anal-ysis showed multilayer uroepithelium coverage in the luminal surface of apparatus of urinary diversion,and as time went on,epi-thelial layers increased continuously.In the control group,all animals were dead within 3 weeks,and urine leakage,severe in-flammatory reaction and tissue destruction were found by autopsy.Conclusion The present experiment has successfully used silk-fibroin loading rabbit adipose stem cells to construct apparatus of urinary diversion,and demonstrates the feasibility of this kind of apparatus for urinary diversion in a rabbit model,which provides some experimental basis for clinical applications.

Efficacy of transurethral en bloc resection of bladder tumor with 2 micrometer laser in the treatment of the high-risk elderly patients with bladder cancer under local anesthesia / 中国医师进修杂志

Objective To evaluated the clinical efficacy of transurethral en bloc resection of bladder tumor with 2 μm laser in the high-risk elderly patients with bladder cancer under local anesthesia. Methods All of 64 high-risk elderly patients having underwent surgical treatment from April 2015 to October 2016 were divided into 2 groups,2 μm laser group(30 patients)and transurethral resection of bladder tumor(TURBT)group(34 group)according to surgical methods.The area and degree of pain was observed and recorded using visual analogue scales(VAS)during the 2 μm laser operation. The operation time,bladder irrigation time,catheter indwelling time,hospital stay,complications and 1-year cumulative recurrence rate were compared between 2 groups. Results The ASA grade in 2 μm laser group was higher than that in TURBT group and there was significant difference(P<0.05).During the 2 μm laser operation,the urethra pain was 53.33%(16/30),bladder pain was 20.00%(6/30), both urethra and bladder pain was 26.67%(8/30).The VAS scores were(2.50 ± 1.38)points,all the patients tolerated the pain in the 2 μm laser group.There was no significant difference in operation time between 2 groups(P>0.05).The bladder irrigation time,catheter indwelling time and hospital stay were shorter in 2 μm laser group than those in TURBT group:(40.00 ± 19.06)h vs.(56.47 ± 14.55)h,(4.33 ± 1.40)d vs. (5.65 ± 0.93) d,(4.13 ± 1.51) d vs. (6.24 ± 0.75) d,P<0.05 or<0.01. The overall incidence of complications was lower in 2 μm laser group than that in TURBT group:13.33%(4/30) vs. 64.71% (22/34),χ2=8.719,P=0.003.Compared with that of pre-treatment,the quality of life was higher after treatment in two groups,but there were no significant differences between the two groups.There were no significant differences in 1-year cumulative recurrence rate between the two groups after treatment (χ2= 0.496,P = 0.481). Conclusions Transurethral 2 μm laser treatment in bladder cancer under urethral surface anesthesia is safe and reliable for the high-risk elderly patients and complications are fewer than TURBT.The recent curative effect is satisfied.
