RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) of the bladder, the major histologic subtype of bladder cancer, is increasing in incidence and mortality, which requires the identification of effective biomarkers. Actin-regulating proteins have recently been proposed as important antitumor druggable targets. As a gelsolin-family actin-modulating protein, CAPG (gelsolin-like actin-capping protein) generated great interest due to its crucial effects in various biological and physiological processes; however, the role and mechanism of CAPG in TCCs remain unknown. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Bioinformatic analysis and immunohistochemistry of clinical specimens were performed to detect the expression level of CAPG. Both in vitro and in vivo assays were used to determine the oncogenic effect of CAPG in TCCs. Male 4-5-week-old BALB/c nude mice were used for in vivo tumorigenesis assays, while SCID mice were used for in vivo metastatic assays. Affymetrix microarray was used to identify the underlying molecular mechanism. Western blot and immunofluorescence were used to validate the expression and localization of proteins. RESULTS: CAPG was frequently upregulated in TCCs and associated with clinical aggressiveness and worse prognosis. Functional assays demonstrated that CAPG could contribute to the tumorigenesis, metastasis and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of TCCs both in vitro and in vivo. A novel mechanism that CAPG promoted TCC development via inactivating the Hippo pathway, leading to a nucleus translocation of Yes-associated protein was suggested. CONCLUSIONS: The current study identified CAPG as a novel and critical oncogene in TCCs, supporting the pursuit of CAPG as a potential target for TCC intervention.
RESUMEN
Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) is a class of RNA molecules, transcripted by RNA polymeraseⅡ, which consists of more than 200 nucleotides and protein-coding function. Many studies have indicated that lncRNA plays an important role in epigenetics, transcription and post-translational processing. The abnormal expression of lncRNA significantly correlates with occurence,development, and metastasis of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and prognosis of the patients with RCC. This paper summarizes the advances in the research on lncRNA in RCC to reveal the mechanisms of the disease at the molecular level, in order to provide new methods of prevention, diagnosis, treatment and prognostic assessment of RCC.
RESUMEN
Objective To study the treatment of acute renal failure induced by uretericobstruction . Methods Twenty-five cases of acute renal failure induced by uretericobstruction were emergent managed with ureteroscope pneumatic lithotripsy .Results All the renal function resumed well , BUN,Cr in serum was natural or near natural .Conclusion Ureteroscope pneumatic lithotripsy should be used for acute renal failure induced by uretericobstruction as first-line.
RESUMEN
Objective To investigate clinical efficacy and safety and complications of transurethral plasmakinetic resection of prostate ( PKRP) for benign prostatic hyperplasia ( BPH) .Methods Totally 186 BPH patients were underwent PKRP .Comparison of clinical parameters before and after operation .Results Following-up at 3 and 6 months after the operation showed that international prostate symptom score ( IP-SS),quality of life(QQL),residual urine volume(RUV) scores increased and maximal urinary flow rate ( Qmax) scores decreased .The incidence of complications was 8.2%.Conclusion PKRP have efficacy in the treatment of BPH , and PKRP is safer and less complications .
RESUMEN
Objective To evaluate the clinical value of laparoscopic uItrasonography ( LUS) in u-rinary laparoscopic surgery .Methods In 6 cases of urological laparoscopic surgery , laparoscopic ultra-sound examination were taken , including 3 cases of simple renal cysts , 1 case of adrenal pheochromocyto-ma, 2 cases of hamartoma , were excised under the LUS guidance and the results were compared with the traditional simple laparoscopic surgery .Results With laparoscopic uItrasonography guidance , the bounda-ry and blood supply of cyst or tumor could be shown more clearly compared with trans -abdominal ultrasound . We could differ the tumors from dilated pelvis and renal calices , So the damage to the collecting system and renal blood vessels were avoided .With LUS guidance , tumors were excised more completely , so that re-mained tumor tissues would be avoided and normal renal tissues would be protected .Conclusion LUS may provide more precise surgical information and may play an important role guiding laparoscopic operation in urinary surgery .
RESUMEN
Objective To evaluated the clinical outcomes of intravesical instillation resiniferatoxin(RTX) for the treatment of patients with idiopathic overactive bladder(IOAB).Methods 26 cases with IOAB were randomly divided into test(A,14 cases) and control(B,12 cases) groups.The patients in group A were treated by intravesical instillation with 40ml of 0.5% idocain retained within the bladder for 3 minutes at first and with 100ml of 100nmol/L RTX retained within the bladder for 30 minutes late.The patients in group B were treated by the same method,however,the furacilin solution(placebo) at a dilution 1∶5000 was used instead of 100nmol/L RTX.The efficacy(daily voiding frequency,urgent uresis,FDV,MCBC,Qmax) of the 2 groups were evaluated before,1 month and 3 months after treatment.Results The pre-treatment comparion with prost-treatmen at 1 month and 3 months of A group was significant(P0.05).14 patients(54%) had slightly stimulating symptom in the urethra or bladder,and were otherwise generally well tolerated.Conclusion Single administration of RTX is safe and effective in patients with IOAB.
