Methods: Thirty Chinese patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia and 34 withCaP (adenocarcinoma clinical stage C and D) were analyzed by means of immunohistochemical methods. Results:The KAII/CD82 expression in BPH tissue was all positive, which was uniformly located on the glandular cell mem-brane at the cell-to-cell borders, but KAII/CD82 expression in metastasis CaP tissues was either significantly lower thanthat of BPH or negative, and the immunostaining pattern was not continuous. In late-stage CAP KAII/CD82 expressionwas correlated inversely to the pathological grade ( P < 0.05), but not to clinical stage ( P > 0.05). Conclusion:The authors believe that decreased and negative KAII/CD82 expression in late-stage CaP may be related to tumor pro-gression and metastasis, and appears to be a prognostic marker.展开更多

This study aims to describe exclusively robot-assisted surgery as an alternative nephron-sparing approach for renal intraparenchymal tumors. Patients and Methods: We retrospectively analyzed all patients with completely endophytic tumors undergoing robot-assisted partial nephrectomy, treated under the Da Vinci System<sup>®</sup>, aided by intraoperative ultrasound. The patients’ demographic characteristics, perioperative and oncological outcomes were assessed. Results: From a total of 13 partial nephrectomies performed between 06/2010 and 10/2021, all patients underwent nephrotomy. The patients’ mean age was 52 years and the tumor measured mean 2.6 cm. Warm ischemia time was 24 minutes and histopathological analysis revealed that 12 patients had renal cell carcinoma. In a mean 36-month follow-up, no significant renal function alterations were found and no local or systemic recurrences occurred. Conclusion: Robot-assisted access is a safe and effective option for the nephron-sparing technique in completely intraparenchymal renal tumors.展开更多

文摘BACKGROUND Gastrinoma is characterized by an excessive release of gastrin,leading to hypersecretion of gastric acid,subsequently resulting in recurrent peptic ulcers,chronic diarrhea,and even esophageal strictures.This case report aims to improve awareness and facilitate early diagnosis and treatment of gastrinoma by presenting a rare case of gastrinoma with refractory benign esophageal stricture(RBES).Additionally,it highlights the persistent challenges that gastroenterologists encounter in managing RBES.CASE SUMMARY This case demonstrates a patient with gastrinoma who developed RBES and complete esophageal obstruction despite management with maximal acid suppressive therapy,multiple endoscopic bougie dilations and endoscopic incisional therapy(EIT).CONCLUSION It is essential to diagnose gastrinoma as early as possible,as inadequately controlled acid secretion over an extended period increases the risk of developing severe esophageal strictures.In patients with esophageal strictures causing complete luminal obstruction,blind reopening EIT presents challenges and carries a high risk of perforation.
文摘To study the expression of beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (βhCG) genes in renal cell carcinomas (RCC) and benign renal disease tissues, nested reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and restriction endonuclease analysis were employed to detect the expression of βhCG genes in 44 cases of RCC tissues and 24 cases of benign renal disease tissues It was found that 52% RCC samples revealed positive for βhCG mRNA expression Positive rate in advanced stage and poorly differentiated RCC was higher, but there was no significant difference The positive rate of βhCG mRNA expression was 54% in 24 cases of benign renal tissues, including 3 cases out of 6 polycystic kidneys, 7 cases out of 13 renal atrophies, 2 cases out of 2 oncocytomas and 1 case out of 2 pyonephrotic kidneys β7 was most frequently transcribed subtype gene independent on the histology These findings suggested βhCG gene transcription is not only involved in RCC but also in benign renal diseases

文摘Aim: To evaluate KAII/CD82 expression in Chinese patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and late-stage carcinoma of prostate (CaP). Methods: Thirty Chinese patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia and 34 withCaP (adenocarcinoma clinical stage C and D) were analyzed by means of immunohistochemical methods. Results:The KAII/CD82 expression in BPH tissue was all positive, which was uniformly located on the glandular cell mem-brane at the cell-to-cell borders, but KAII/CD82 expression in metastasis CaP tissues was either significantly lower thanthat of BPH or negative, and the immunostaining pattern was not continuous. In late-stage CAP KAII/CD82 expressionwas correlated inversely to the pathological grade ( P < 0.05), but not to clinical stage ( P > 0.05). Conclusion:The authors believe that decreased and negative KAII/CD82 expression in late-stage CaP may be related to tumor pro-gression and metastasis, and appears to be a prognostic marker.
文摘AIM:To evaluate the safety and feasibility of laparoscopic spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy(LSPDP)with autologous islet transplantation(AIT)for benign tumors of the pancreatic body-neck.METHODS:Three non-diabetic,female patients(age37,44 and 35 years,respectively)were declared candidates for surgery,between May and September 2011,because of pancreatic body/neck cystic lesions.The planned operation was an LSPDP associated with AIT from the normal pancreas distal to the neoplasm.Islets isolation was performed on the residual pancreatic parenchyma after frozen section examination of the margin.Purified autologous islets were infused into the portal vein by a percutaneous transhepatic approach the day after surgery.RESULTS:The procedure was performed successfully in all the three cases,and the spleen was preserved along with its vessels.Mean operation time was 283±52 min and average blood loss was 133±57 mL.Residual pancreas weights were 33,22 and 30 g,and105.200,40.390 and 94.790 islet equivalents were isolated,respectively.Surgical complications occurred in one patient(grade A pancreatic fistula).Postoperative stays were 6,6 and 7 d,respectively.Histopathological evaluation revealed mucinous cystic neoplasm in cases1 and 3,and serous cystic neoplasm in patient 2.No postoperative insulin administration was required.One patient developed a transient partial portal thrombosis2 mo after islet infusion.Patients are insulin independent at a mean follow up of 8±2 mo.CONCLUSION:Combination of LSPDP and AIT is feasible and could be effective to minimize the surgical impact for benign neoplasm of pancreatic body-neck.

文摘BACKGROUND Up until now,no research has been reported on the association between the cli-nical growth rate of multilocular cystic renal neoplasm of low malignant potential(MCRNLMP)and computed tomography(CT)imaging characteristics.Our study sought to examine the correlation between them,with the objective of distin-guishing unique features of MCRNLMP from renal cysts and exploring effective management strategies.AIM To investigate optimal management strategies of MCRNLMP.METHODS We retrospectively collected and analyzed data from 1520 patients,comprising 1444 with renal cysts and 76 with MCRNLMP,who underwent renal cyst decom-pression,radical nephrectomy,or nephron-sparing surgery for renal cystic disease between January 2013 and December 2021 at our institution.Detection of MC-RNLMP utilized the Bosniak classification for imaging and the 2016 World Health Organization criteria for clinical pathology.RESULTS Our meticulous exploration has revealed compelling findings on the occurrence of MCRNLMP.Precisely,it comprises 1.48%of all cases involving simple renal cysts,5.26%of those with complex renal cysts,and a noteworthy 12.11%of renal tumors coexisting with renal cysts,indicating a statistically significant difference(P=0.001).Moreover,MCRNLMP constituted a significant 22.37%of the patient po-pulation whose cysts demonstrated a rapid growth rate of≥2.0 cm/year,whereas it only represented 0.66%among those with a growth rate below 2.0 cm/year.Of the 76 MCRNLMP cases studied,none of the nine patients who underwent subsequent nephron-sparing surgery or radical nephrectomy following renal cyst decompression experienced recurrence or metastasis.In the remaining 67 patients,who were actively monitored over a 3-year postoperative period,only one showed suspicious recurrence on CT scans.CONCLUSION MCRNLMP can be tentatively identified and categorized into three types based on CT scanning and growth rate indicators.In treating MCRNLMP,partial nephrectomy is preferred,while radical nephrectomy should be minimi-zed.After surgery,active monitoring is advisable to prevent unnecessary nephrectomy.
文摘BACKGROUND To date,there are no guidelines on the treatment of solid neoplasms in the transplanted kidney.Historically,allograft nephrectomy has been considered the only reasonable option.More recently,nephron-sparing surgery (NSS) and ablative therapy (AT) have been proposed as alternative procedures in selected cases.AIM To review outcomes of AT for the treatment of renal allograft tumours.METHODS We conducted a systematic review according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses 2009 Checklist.PubMed was searched in March 2019 without time restrictions for all papers reporting on radiofrequency ablation (RFA),cryoablation (CA),microwave ablation (MWA),high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU),and irreversible electroporation (IRE) of solid tumours of the kidney allograft.Only original manuscripts describing actual cases and edited in English were considered.All relevant articles were accessed in full text.Additional searches included all pertinent references.Selected studies were also assessed for methodological quality using a tool based on a modification of the Newcastle Ottawa scale.Data on recipient characteristics,transplant characteristics,disease characteristics,treatment protocols,and treatment outcomes were extracted and analysed.Given the nature and the quality of the studies available (mostly retrospective case reports and small retrospective uncontrolled case series),a descriptive summary was provided.RESULTS Twenty-eight relevant studies were selected describing a total of 100 AT procedures in 92 patients.Recipient age at diagnosis ranged from 21 to 71 years whereas time from transplant to diagnosis ranged from 0.1 to 312 mo.Most of the neoplasms were asymptomatic and diagnosed incidentally during imaging carried out for screening purposes or for other clinical reasons.Preferred diagnostic modality was Doppler-ultrasound scan followed by computed tomography scan,and magnetic resonance imaging.Main tumour types were: papillary renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and clear cell RCC.Maximal tumour diameter ranged from 5 to 55 mm.The vast majority of neoplasms were T1a N0 M0 with only 2 lesions staged T1b N0 M0.Neoplasms were managed by RFA (n = 78),CA (n = 15),MWA (n = 3),HIFU (n = 3),and IRE (n = 1).Overall,3 episodes of primary treatment failure were reported.A single case of recurrence was identified.Follow-up ranged from 1 to 81 mo.No cancer-related deaths were observed.Complication rate was extremely low (mostly < 10%).Graft function remained stable in the majority of recipients.Due to the limited sample size,no clear benefit of a single procedure over the other ones could be demonstrated.CONCLUSION AT for renal allograft neoplasms represents a promising alternative to radical nephrectomy and NSS in carefully selected patients.Properly designed clinical trials are needed to validate this therapeutic approach.
文摘Introduction: The diagnosis of small renal masses and the endophytic tumor approach have become challenging. This study aims to describe exclusively robot-assisted surgery as an alternative nephron-sparing approach for renal intraparenchymal tumors. Patients and Methods: We retrospectively analyzed all patients with completely endophytic tumors undergoing robot-assisted partial nephrectomy, treated under the Da Vinci System<sup>®</sup>, aided by intraoperative ultrasound. The patients’ demographic characteristics, perioperative and oncological outcomes were assessed. Results: From a total of 13 partial nephrectomies performed between 06/2010 and 10/2021, all patients underwent nephrotomy. The patients’ mean age was 52 years and the tumor measured mean 2.6 cm. Warm ischemia time was 24 minutes and histopathological analysis revealed that 12 patients had renal cell carcinoma. In a mean 36-month follow-up, no significant renal function alterations were found and no local or systemic recurrences occurred. Conclusion: Robot-assisted access is a safe and effective option for the nephron-sparing technique in completely intraparenchymal renal tumors.
文摘目的比较单孔腹腔镜根治性肾切除术(LESS-RN)与传统腹腔镜根治性肾切除术(CL-RN)后至少10年的局限性肾癌患者肿瘤疗效和肾功能结局。方法选取2009-2012年在海军军医大学(第二军医大学)第一附属医院接受LESS-RN或CL-RN治疗的T1a~T2a期局限性肾癌患者,按患者年龄、BMI、肿瘤大小进行倾向评分匹配,共纳入31对患者,分析患者的基线特征、手术数据、病理结果和随访信息,以评估LESS-RN和CL-RN的长期预后差异。结果LESS-RN组与CL-RN组患者在手术时间[(179.7±43.0)min vs(172.6±50.9)min,P=0.349]、估计失血量[100(50,200)mL vs 100(50,150)mL,P=0.871]、住院时间[6(5,7)d vs 7(6,9)d,P=0.080]方面差异均无统计学意义。LESS-RN组有1例患者发生术中并发症,没有患者发生术后并发症;CL-RN组有1例患者发生术中并发症,3例患者发生术后并发症。LESS-RN组随访时间为(138.0±9.0)个月,CL-RN组为(137.8±9.8)个月(P=0.730)。LESS-RN组与CL-RN组患者总生存率(80.6%vs 74.2%,P=0.181)、肿瘤特异性生存率(93.6%vs 96.8%,P=0.554)、血肌酐变化水平[32(17,45)μmol/L vs 20(5,47)μmol/L,P=0.098]和估算的肾小球滤过率[(60.2±20.9)mL·min^(-1)·(1.73 m^(2))^(-1) vs(66.7±27.8)mL·min^(-1)·(1.73 m^(2))^(-1),P=0.342]差异均无统计学意义。结论LESS-RN是一种安全、可行的治疗局限性肾癌的手术方法,其长期肿瘤疗效和肾功能结局与CL-RN相当。
文摘Gallbladder adenomas are rare lesions(0.5%)associated with potential malignant transformation,particularly with gallbladder adenomas that are≥1 cm in size.Early detection and management are crucial for preventing lethal carcinoma de-velopment.These polyps can often be distinguished from the more often nonneo-plastic cholesterol pseudopolyps(5%-10%),which are benign.Ultrasonography is the first-line tool for initial diagnosis and follow-up when indicated.The question is whether cholecystectomy is always necessary for all adenomas.The manage-ment of gallbladder adenomas is determined according to the size of the tumor,the growth rate of the tumor,the patient’s symptoms and whether risk factors for malignancy are present.Adenomas≥1 cm in size,an age>50 years and a familial history of gallbladder carcinoma are indications for immediate laparoscopic chole-cystectomy.Otherwise,ultrasound follow-up is indicated.For adenomas 6-9 mm in size,the absence of≥2 mm growth at 6 months,one year,and two years,as well as an adenoma sized<5 mm without existing risk factors indicates that no further surveillance is required.However,it would be preferable to individualize the management in doubtful cases.Novel interventional modalities for preserving the gallbladder need further evaluation,especially to determine the long-term outcomes.
