Objective To investigate clinical and pathological features of small cell carcinoma of urinary bladder. Methods The pathological and clinical data of 9 cases of small cell carcinoma were analyzed retrospectively.

Their mean urinary and serum pseudouridine levels were 39.2=11.5 nmol / /μmol creatinine and 3.4 ± 1.3 μmol / L, 24.5 = 5.4 nmol / μmol creatinine and 2.5 = 0.5 μmol / L, 22.8 ± 7.8 nmol / μmol creatinine and 2.3 = 0.4 μmol / L, 26.4 ± 4.6 nmol / μmol creatinine and 2.3 = 0.4 μmol / L, respectively. Exceeding the mean plus 2SD of pseudouridine of healthy control was considered as positive value for the diagnosis of primary liver cancer. Thus the positivity of urinary and serum pseudouridine in hepatoma was 71.3% and 70.0%, respectively. The positive rate of combined pseudouridine and alpha-fetoprotein assay was 91.3% in patients with hepatoma. Besides, pseudouridine levels could elevate before positive localization and reduce to normal levels after tumor resection. The results showed that the determination of pseudouridine is of clinical significance in the diagnosis and monitoring of primary liver cancer.展开更多
