RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: In recent years, hyperthermia has been widely applied as a novel strategy for cancer treatment due to its multiple antitumour effects. In particular, the potential influences of hyperthermia on the tumour immune microenvironment may improve the efficacy of immunotherapies. However, the effect of hyperthermia on renal cell carcinoma (RCC) has not been well characterized until now. METHODS: In the present study, we primarily evaluated the effects of hyperthermia on cellular function via cellular proliferation, migration, invasion and apoptosis assays. In addition, the influence of hyperthermia on the immunogenicity of RCC cells was analysed using flow cytometry analysis, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays, and immunofluorescent (IF) staining. RESULTS: Our results demonstrate that hyperthermia significantly inhibits RCC cell proliferation, migration, and invasion and promotes cell apoptosis. In addition, we verified that hyperthermia improves the immunogenicity of RCC cells by inducing immunogenic cell death. CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest that hyperthermia is a promising therapeutic strategy for RCC.

BACKGROUND: To determine whether transrectal ultrasound and urologist_dually guided pelvic floor muscle exercise is associated with immediate, early and long-term urinary continence after radical prostatectomy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Data from 114 patients with localized prostate cancer (PC) who underwent RP at Henan Cancer Hospital from November 2018 to April 2021 were included in the retrospective study. Of the 114 patients, 50 patients in the observation group underwent transrectal ultrasound and urologist_dually guided PFME, and 64 patients in the control group underwent verbally_guided PFME. Contractile function of the external urinary sphincter was in the observation group was evaluated. The immediate, early and long-term urinary continence rates were assessed in both groups, and the factors affecting urinary continence were analyzed. RESULTS: The urinary continence rate at 2 weeks and 1, 3, 6 and 12 months in the observation group after RP was significantly higher than that in the control group (52.0% vs. 29.7%, 70.0% vs. 39.1%, 82% vs. 57.8, 88% vs. 70.3%, 98.0 vs. 84.4%, p < 0.05). The contractile function of the external urinary sphincter was obviously correlated with urinary continence at multiple visits after RP, except for the 12-month visit. Transrectal ultrasound and urologist-dually guided PFME was verified to be an independent positive factor for urinary continence at 2 weeks and 1, 3, 6 and 12 months using logistic regression analysis. However, TURP was a negative factor for postoperative urinary continence at different times. CONCLUSIONS: Transrectal ultrasound and urologist_dually guided PFME had a significant role in improving immediate, early and long-term urinary continence after RP and acted as an independent prognostic factor.

RATIONALE: Routine neoadjuvant therapy for muscle-invasive bladder urothelial carcinoma prior to radical surgery is curative. With the increase in cancer immunotherapy, neoadjuvant immunotherapy has been used as an important complement to neoadjuvant chemotherapy for muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma. Toripalimab is a recombinant, humanized IgG4 monoclonal antibody directed against programmed cell death protein 1 and received the first global approval for the treatment of unresectable or metastatic melanoma in China on December 17, 2018. PATIENT CONCERNS AND DIAGNOSIS: A 57-year-old man was admitted to our hospital because of hematuria for 1 week. The patient was diagnosed pathologically with muscle-invasive bladder urothelial carcinoma. INTERVENTIONS AND OUTCOMES: The patient received neoadjuvant toripalimab combined with gemcitabine therapy. The patient showed partial response. Subsequently, radical cystectomy was performed. LESSONS: Toripalimab combined with gemcitabine exhibited accurate antitumor activity and may be a promising novel neoadjuvant therapy for muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma.

Objective@#To summarize the clinical experience of primary bladder lymphoma.@*Methods@#From September 2012 to May 2019, 8 cases of primary bladder lymphoma treated in our institute were analyzed retrospectively, including 4 males and 4 females. The mean age was 50.5 years old, ranged from 15 to 85. There were 3 cases of localized bladder lymphoma and 5 cases of metastatic bladder lymphoma. Three cases presented with painless gross hematuria primarily and 5 cases suffered from abdominal pain and bloating. Imaging examination showed the bladder tumor or pelvic mass with maximum diameter ranged from 3 to 22 cm, with 11.3 cm on average. Preoperative diagnosis of bladder tumor in 3 cases, and pelvic malignant tumor in 5 cases. Two patients underwent TURBT and 6 cases underwent pelvic mass resection and partial cystectomy.@*Results@#Postoperative pathological diagnosis showed 6 cases of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, 1 case of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma, 1 case of anaplastic large cell lymphoma. Follow-up after surgery ranged 3 to 60 months, with 28.1 months on average. Two patients can not tolerate radiotherapy or chemotherapy for postoperative complications of vesico-vaginal fistula and intestinal fistula, and both were alive at the last follow-up. Six patients underwent CHOP regimen (cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, prednisone), 3 cases were addd with rituximab. Three patients died during the follow-up. One 85-year-old patient died 10 months after surgery. Two cases of metastatic bladder lymphoma died 3 or 6 months after surgery respectively. Three cases were alive after chemotherapy, including 2 young patients undergoing chemotherapy with DICE regime and one patient undergoing pelvic radiotherapy.@*Conclusion@#The primary bladder lymphoma has no special clinical symptoms, and TURBT and needle biopsy are critical for the diagnosis, based on the pathological and immunohistochemical examination. The most common pathological type is diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. R-CHOP chemotherapy is recommended, which can be followed by DICE regime for young patients. Metastasis and aging predict poor prognosis.
RESUMEN
Objective To review the experience of the clinical diagnosis and treatment of primary testicular diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.Methods A review was made who were treated in the Tumor Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2011 to November 2018.The average age of the patients was 58 years old,with 4 cases in left side and 8 cases in right side.All patients were admitted to hospital with painless testicle mass.Solid mass of testis were detected by ultrasound with no abnormality in tumor markers.All patients underwent orchiectomy and followed by chemotherapy.Results Twelve primary testicular lymphoma (PTL) were identified by pathology,with 8 cases in phase Ⅰ,2 cases in phase Ⅱ,1 case in phase Ⅲ,and 1 case in phase Ⅳ.The mean follow-up was 31 months.Inguinal orchiectomy was recommended as a diagnositc and initial therapy.All patients underwent R-CHOP/CHOP chemotherapy consisting of cyclophosphamide,doxorubicin,vincristine and prednisone with or without rituximab,including 6 cases with R-CHOP and 6 cases with CHOP.Nine of 12 patients underwent intrathecal prophylatic chemotherapy and 6 of 12 patients underwent contralateral testicle radiotherapy.Relapse occured in 2 patient with CHOP in central nervous system and died of the disease.One case with CHOP relapsed in abdominal cavity.No contralateral testicle relapse was observed.Conclusions PTL is a rare extranodal lymphoma.Painless testicle tumor in men over 50 years old should suspect of this disease.Inguinal orchiectomy is an important part of the treatment,which combines systemic chemotherapy and prophylactic modalities such as radiotherapy of contralateral testis and/or central nervous system (CNS) prophylaxis.
