Ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) is a condition characterized by the blockage of urine flow from the kidney to the ureter.With advancements in endoscopic technology, robotic-assisted laparoscopic dismembered pyeloplasty has become the dominant approach.However, approximately 10% of patients who undergo pyeloplasty still experience treatment failure, often due to long-segment proximal ureteral strictures (length greater than 2 cm).This increases the difficulty and risk of subsequent surgeries.In the past, ileal ureter replacement or kidney autotransplantation procedures were used as alternatives to shorten or replace the ureter.However, these procedures are associated with metabolic and vascular complications and are not always preferred.A pelvic flap, which utilizes the enlarged wall of the renal pelvis, is a good solution for bridging longer segments of a diseased ureter.This article reviews the specific applications of pelvic flap pyeloplasty in the existing literature and summarizes the technical improvements and research progress of renal pelvic flap pyeloplasty in our center to provide a reference for clinical application.

【Objective】 To investigate the common etiology, characteristics and treatment of iatrogenic ureteral stricture. 【Methods】 The clinical data of 226 patients with ureteral stricture repaired during May 2019 and Mar. 2022 were retrospectively analyzed, including 68 cases of iatrogenic ureteral stricture. According to the etiology, the patients were divided into urinary group and non-urinary group. 【Results】 There were 42 females and 26 males, aged 25 to 67 (average 49.0±10.4) years. Upper ureteral stricture was detected in 24 (35.3%) cases, who received oral mucosal repair of the ureter. Middle ureteral stricture was detected in 12 (17.6%) cases, who underwent ileal ureterography. Lower ureteral stricture was observed in 24 (35.3%) cases, who were treated with vesical wall flap ureteroplasty. Full-length stricture was observed in 8 (11.8%) cases,who were treated with ileal ureterography. There were significant differences in age, gender, stenosis side, stenosis location and length, surgical methods and types between patients in the urinary group and non-urinary group (P<0.05). During the follow-up of 8 to 20 (average 12.3±5.6) months, the symptoms and renal function of all patients improved, and no recurrence occurred. 【Conclusion】 Invasive endourological surgery is the most common cause of iatrogenic ureteral stenosis. Different treatment strategies should be adopted according to patients’ condition, time of diagnosis and location and length of ureteral injury.

Objective:To summarize and analyze the current application status of oral mucosal graft (OMG) technique in the repair of ureteral strictures in China, and clarify the feasibility, safety and effectiveness of this technique.Methods:The 175 patients who underwent repair of ureteral stricture using oral mucosal patches from June 2015 to February 2022 were etrospectively analyzed in 14 medical centers in China, including 49 cases in Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, 32 cases in Affiliated Seventh Medical Center of PLA General Hospital, 3 cases in The Second Hospital of Anhui Medical University, 6 cases in The First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, 56 cases in Peking University First Hospital, 3 cases in Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, 3 cases in Shanghai Sixth People' s Hospital, 4 cases in General Hospital of Estern Theater Command, 4 cases in Lanzhou University Second Hospital, 2 cases in Guizhou Province People 's Hospital, 2 cases in Peking University People' s Hospital, 5 cases in Jinzhou First People's Hospital, 5 cases in The First Affiliated Hospital of Wannan Medical College, 1 case in Shandong Provincial Hospital. In this study, 127 patients (72.6%) used lingual mucosal patches, 32(18.3%) labial mucosa, and 16(9.1%) buccal mucosa. The surgical approach for OMG ureteral reconstruction was mainly minimally invasive, with robot-assisted laparoscopy in 84 patients (48.0%), traditional laparoscopic surgery in 87 patients (49.7%), and open surgery in only 4 patients (2.3%). There were 133 males and 42 females with an average age of (35.0±17.2) years. The mean body mass index (BMI) and stenosis length were (23.1±4.1) kg/m 2 and (4.7±1.8) cm, respectively. The stricture was located in the left ureter in 116 patients, right ureter in 58 case and bilateral ureter in 1 case. The most common causes of ureteral stricture were endoscopic surgery in 88(50.3%)patients, congenital stricture in 55(31.4%)patients, failed ureteroplasty in 29(16.6%)patients, history of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy in 13(7.4%)patients, radiotherapy history in 3(1.7%)patients and other causes in 6(3.4%)patients. Strictures were mainly located in the upper ureter, accounting for 61.7% (108/175 cases), followed by 36.0% (63/175) at the ureteropelvic junction and 2.3%(4/175)in the middle ureter. According to the surgical methods, the patients were divided into robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery group ( n=84), traditional laparoscopic surgery group ( n=87)and open surgery group ( n=4). Subgroup analysis of patients in robot-assisted laparoscopic and traditional laparoscopic surgery groups was performed. There were no significant difference in preoperative data between the two groups except for age (32.0±18.3) years vs.(37.0±15.9)years, P=0.040], BMI[(22.5±4.3)kg/m 2 vs. (23.7±3.6)kg/m 2, P=0.028], and etiology of stenosis [endoscopic injury, 34(40.5%) vs. 53(60.9%), P=0.012]. Preoperative hydronephrosis and stricture length were assessed by CTU and ureterography. Ureterography 7-9 weeks after surgery showed patency of the reconstructed segment, or no recurrence of hydronephrosis was judged as success. Evaluate the operation method, operation time, success rate, length of OMG in repairing ureteral stricture between laparoscopic and robot-assisted groups. Results:The overall success rate of oral mucosal graft repair surgery reached 97.7%(171/175). The success rate of ureteral reconstruction in the two groups were 96.4%(81/84)and 98.9%(86/87), respectively ( P=0.351), and the difference was not statistically significant. There was no significant difference for operation time, intraoperative blood loss, and mean oral mucosal length between the robotic and laparoscopic groups[(244.7±85.8) min and (222.7±83.5)min ( P=0.116), (58.9±38.6) ml and (68.4±45.5) ml ( P=0.217), (5.0±2.0) cm and (4.6±1.5) cm ( P=0.350)], respectively.Postoperative complications were reported in 23 (13.1%) patients, such as fever, urinary leakage, lymphatic leakage, infection, but only 2 (1.4%) cases patients had complications of Clavien-Dindo score ≥ Ⅲ. The two patients developed urinary stricture after surgery with failed conservative treatment, and no urinary stricture occurred following endoscopic treatment.The short-term (three months after surgery)incidence of complications in the site where the oral mucosa was taken, such as difficulty in opening mouth, pain, and swelling, was 12.0% (21/175), and there was no significant difference for oral complications between patients harvesting different length of mucosal graft. Conclusions:Ureteroplasty with oral mucosal graft is a safe, feasible and reliable technique for ureteral reconstruction. At present, minimally invasive technology is the main surgical approach for ureteroplasty, and there is no significant difference in operation time and success rate between robotic surgery and laparoscopic surgery.

Objective:To evaluate risk factors for local recurrence and prognosis in patients with upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) after radical nephroureterectomy combined with lymph node dissection (LND).Methods:The data of 237 patients who were diagnosed with UTUC in Peking University First Hospital and received radical nephroureterectomy combined with LND during January 2010 and March 2022 were retrospectively reviewed. Clinicopathologic characteristics and oncological outcomes were compared according to lymph node metastasis. There were 122 males and 115 females. The tumors of 122 cases were located on the left, while 115 cases were on the right. The tumors of 102 cases were in the renal pelvic, 124 cases in the ureter and 11 cases in both sites. The mean age was (65.52±10.14) years old. The overall survival (OS), cancer-specific survival (CSS), local recurrence-free survival (LRFS) of all patients were valued using Kaplan-Meier method, and the survival curves with statistical significance between two groups were analyzed by log-rank test. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards regressions were performed to identify the independent risk factors for CSS and LRFS.Results:There were 122 males and 115 females. According to the lymph node metastasis, the patients were divided into lymph node negative group ( n=180, 75.9%) and lymph node positive group ( n=57, 24.1%). Lymph node positive group had a higher percentage in renal tumor [57.9%(33/57) vs. 38.1% (69/180)], stage T 3-4 [84.2%(48/57) vs. 32.8%(59/180)], G 3 [91.2%(52/57) vs. 55.6%(100/180)], glandular differentiation [17.5%(10/57) vs. 4.4%(8/180)], sarcomatoid differentiation [22.8%(13/57) vs. 9.4%(17/180)], necrosis [47.4%(27/57) vs. 16.1%(29/180)], lymphovascular invasion [40.4%(23/57) vs. 12.2%(22/180)] and the number of lymph node dissection [ 4(1, 10) vs. 2(1, 5)]. There were significant differences between the two groups ( P<0.05). Of 237 patients, 42 lost of follow up. The median follow-up time was 46(22, 79) months. Among the 195 patients, 52 patients died, and 42 died due to the tumor. Of all patients, 58(29.7%) had local recurrence, 34 had local recurrence alone, and 24 had concurrent distant metastasis. The 5-year OS and CSS were 67.4% and 71.3%, respectively. The 5-year OS and CSS were 70.5% and 75.1% respectively in the lymph node negative group, 57.5% and 59.4% respectively in the lymph node positive group ( P < 0.05). The 3-year LRFS was 68.0% for all the patients. The 3-year LRFS was 75.6% in the lymph node negative group and 44.5% in the lymph node positive group ( P<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that tumor stage T 3-4( HR =3.924, 95% CI 2.045-7.529, P<0.001) and G 3( HR=2.871, 95% CI 1.193-6.909, P =0.019) were independent risk factors for LRFS. Multivariate analysis showed that age ≥70 years ( HR = 3.578, 95% CI 1.917-6.678, P<0.001) and pathological stage T 3-4 ( HR =2.366, 95% CI 1.278-4.381, P =0.006) were independent risk factors for CSS. Multivariate analysis showed that age ≥70 years ( HR = 3.874, 95% CI 2.190-6.853, P<0.001) and pathological stage T 3-4 ( HR = 2.757, 95% CI 1.565-4.857, P<0.001) were independent risk factors for OS. Conclusions:Patients with high T stage, high grade, as well as glandular differentiation, sarcomatoid differentiation, necrosis, lymphovascular invasion are more likely to have positive lymph node detection. Age ≥70 years and stage T 3-4 were independent risk factors for CSS and OS. Stage T 3-4 and G 3were independent risk factors for LRFS.

Objective:To study the value of urine-based multi-dimensional bioinformatics evaluation model (utLIFE model) in early diagnosis and postoperative monitoring of upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC).Methods:Morning urine samples of patients clinically diagnosed with UTUC without bladder cancer from Peking University First Hospital from August 2022 to October 2022 were collected. Urine samples were collected before and after surgery, and DNA was extracted for gene sequencing. The utLIFE model previously constructed by our center was used to calculate the score, based on 155 gene mutation sites and copy number variation, and the score ≥60 was defined as utLIFE positive. The sensitivity of utLIFE model in diagnosis of UTUC was analyzed with postoperative pathology as the gold standard. The utLIFE scores before and after operation were also compared.Results:A total of 53 patients were included in this study, all of whom were confirmed as UTUC by postoperative pathology. The median age of patients was 66 (59, 72) years. Twenty-four cases (45.3%) of UTUC tumors were located in the renal pelvis, 26 cases (49.1%) were located in the ureter, and 2 cases (5.7%)involved both ureter and renal pelvis. There were 27 patients (50.9%) at T 1stage and 26 patients (49.1%) at ≥T 2 stage. Preoperative utLIFE score of 53 patients was 79 (70, 84). The sensitivity of preoperative utLIFE diagnosis of UTUC was 96.2% (51/53). utLIFE showed similar high sensitivity in T 1 stage and ≥T 2 stage [100.0% (27/27) vs. 92.3% (24/26), P=0.236], in N 0 and ≥N 1 stage [ 95.0% (38/40) vs. 100.0% (5/5), P=1.000]. In addition, the sensitivity of preoperative utLIFE was higher than that of urine cytology [ 95.2% (20/21) vs. 23.8% (5/21). P<0.001], fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) [ 92.6% (25/27) vs. 55.5% (15/27), P=0.004] and ureteroscopy [ 86.7% (13/15) vs. 60.0% (9/15), P=1.000]. A total of 45 patients postoperative utLIFE samples were collected, and the postoperative utLIFE score was significantly lower than that of preoperative [ 36 (18, 61) vs. 79 (70, 84), P<0.001]. Conclusions:utLIFE, as a non-invasive urine DNA bioinformatics assessment model, is significantly superior to cytology and FISH in early detection and has high sensitivity in diagnosis of UTUC, and can reflect perioperative minimal residual disease levels.

There were 64 males (59.8%) and 43 females (40.2%) in the UTUC group, with the age of (67 ± 10) years old.There were 50 cases (46.7%) of ureteral cancer, 42 cases (39.3%) of renal pelvis cancer, and 15 cases (14.0%) of renal pelvis cancer combined with ureteral cancer.45 cases (42.0%) of non muscular infiltrative UTUC, 51 cases (47.7%) of muscular infiltrative UTUC, and 11 cases (10.3%) of unclear stage.There were 14 cases (13.1%) with low tumor grade and 93 cases (86.9%) with high grade. There were 81 males (66.9%) and 40 females (33.1%) in the control group, with the age of (52 ± 14) years old.There were 104 cases (86.0%) of urinary stones, 13 cases (10.7%) of ureteral stenosis or polyps, and 4 cases (3.3%) of simple hydronephrosis. Sixty cases (56.1%) in the UTUC group and 11 cases (9.1%) in the control group underwent urine cytology examination. Seventy-two cases (67.3%) in the UTUC group and 9 cases (7.4%) in the control group underwent urine in situ fluorescence hybridization (FISH) examination. Quantitative PCR detection based on ONECUT2 and VIM gene methylation was performed on urine sediment samples from both groups. If ≥ 1 gene was positive, it was determined as positive, and if both genes were negative, it was determined as negative. The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of urine cytology, FISH, and urine DNA methylation tests were evaluated based on pathological or clinical diagnosis criteria.Results:The overall sensitivity of urine DNA methylation test was 84.1%, specificity was 90.9%, accuracy was 87.7%, positive predictive value was 89.1%, and negative predictive value was 86.6%, respectively. It's sensitivity and accuracy were significantly higher than that of urine cytology (43.3%, P<0.05)(52.1%, P<0.05)and FISH (69.4%, P<0.05)(71.6%, P<0.05). The accuracy was significantly higher than that of urine cytology (52.1%, P<0.05) and FISH (71.6%, P<0.05); There was no statistically significant difference in specificity between urine cytology (100.0%) and FISH (88.9%) ( P>0.05). The results of subgroup analysis showed that the diagnostic sensitivity of urine DNA methylation test for tumors in different locations was 74.0% (37/50 cases) for ureteral cancer, 90.5% (38/42 cases) for renal pelvis cancer, and 100.0% (15/15 cases) for renal pelvis cancer combined with ureteral cancer.The diagnostic specificity for different benign diseases was 92.3% (96/104 cases) for urinary stones, 84.6% (11/13 cases) for ureteral stenosis and polyps, and 75.0% (3/4 cases) for simple hydronephrosis. The diagnostic sensitivity of urine DNA methylation test for low-grade UTUC was 64.3%, significantly higher than that of urine cytology (20.0%) and FISH(36.4%)( P<0.05). The diagnostic sensitivity for high-level UTUC was 87.1%, which was higher than that of urine cytology (48.0%) and FISH (75.4%)( P<0.05). The diagnostic sensitivity for non muscular invasive UTUC was 77.8%, which was significantly higher than that of urine cytology (29.2%) and FISH (64.5%)( P<0.05). The diagnostic sensitivity for myometrial infiltrative UTUC was 88.2%, which was superior to urine cytology (53.6%) and FISH (72.7%)( P<0.05). The sensitivity and specificity of urine DNA methylation test in Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University were 83.0% and 92.0%, respectively.It’s sensitivity and specificity in Peking University First Hospital were 85.2% and 85.7%, respectively. Conclusions:The urine ONECUT2 and VIM gene methylation assay have high sensitivity and accuracy in upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma, which are superior to urine cytology as well as FISH.

Inflammation-driven endothelial dysfunction is the major initiating factor in atherosclerosis, while the underlying mechanism remains elusive. Here, we report that the non-canonical stimulator of interferon genes (STING)-PKR-like ER kinase (PERK) pathway was significantly activated in both human and mice atherosclerotic arteries. Typically, STING activation leads to the activation of interferon regulatory factor 3 (IRF3) and nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB)/p65, thereby facilitating IFN signals and inflammation. In contrast, our study reveals the activated non-canonical STING-PERK pathway increases scaffold protein bromodomain protein 4 (BRD4) expression, which encourages the formation of super-enhancers on the proximal promoter regions of the proinflammatory cytokines, thereby enabling the transactivation of these cytokines by integrating activated IRF3 and NF-κB via a condensation process. Endothelium-specific STING and BRD4 deficiency significantly decreased the plaque area and inflammation. Mechanistically, this pathway is triggered by leaked mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) via mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP), formed by voltage-dependent anion channel 1 (VDAC1) oligomer interaction with oxidized mtDNA upon cholesterol oxidation stimulation. Especially, compared to macrophages, endothelial STING activation plays a more pronounced role in atherosclerosis. We propose a non-canonical STING-PERK pathway-dependent epigenetic paradigm in atherosclerosis that integrates IRF3, NF-κB and BRD4 in inflammatory responses, which provides emerging therapeutic modalities for vascular endothelial dysfunction.

BACKGROUND@#The KangDuo-Surgical Robot-01 (KD-SR-01) system is a new surgical robot recently developed in China. The aim of this study was to present our single-center experience and mid-term outcomes of urological procedures using the KD-SR-01 system.@*METHODS@#From August 2020 to April 2023, consecutive urologic procedures were performed at Peking University First Hospital using the KD-SR-01 system. The clinical features, perioperative data, and follow-up outcomes were prospectively collected and analyzed.@*RESULTS@#A total of 110 consecutive patients were recruited. Among these patients, 28 underwent partial nephrectomy (PN), 41 underwent urinary tract reconstruction (26 underwent pyeloplasty, 3 underwent ureteral reconstruction and 12 underwent ureterovesical reimplantation [UR]), and 41 underwent radical prostatectomy (RP). The median operative time for PN was 112.5 min, 157.0 min for pyeloplasty, 151.0 min for ureteral reconstruction, 142.5 min for UR, and 138.0 min for RP. The median intraoperative blood loss was 10 mL for PN, 10 mL for pyeloplasty, 30 mL for ureteral reconstruction, 20 mL for UR, and 50 mL for RP. All procedures were successfully completed without conversion, and there were no major complications in any patient. The median warm ischemia time of PN was 17.3 min, and positive surgical margin was not noted in any patient. The overall positive surgical margin rate of RP was 39% (16/41), and no biochemical recurrence was observed in any RP patient during the median follow-up of 11.0 months. The surgical success rates of pyeloplasty and UR were 96% (25/26) and 92% (11/12) during the median follow-up of 29.5 months and 11.5 months, respectively.@*CONCLUSION@#The KD-SR-01 system appears feasible, safe, and effective for most urological procedures, based on our single-center experience.

Objective:To study the efficacy of laparoscopic limited anatomical hepatectomy (LLAH) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) within the right anterior section.Methods:The clinical data of 144 patients with HCC confined in the right anterior section undergoing hepatectomy at the First Affiliated Hospital of Army Medical University from January 2015 to December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed, including 122 males and 22 females, aged (54.5±9.7) years. Patients were divided into LLAH ( n=27), laparoscopic anatomical hepatectomy (LAH, n=69), and laparoscopic non-anatomical hepatectomy (LNAH, n=48). Propensity score matching was used to compare the operative time, postoperative hospital stay, postoperative complications, serum total bilirubin and albumin, and the prognostic indicators such as tumor-free survival (DFS) rate and cumulative survival rate between the groups. Results:After propensity score matching, there were 26 cases each in LLAH and LNAH group. There was no significant difference in operative time, intraoperative blood loss and postoperative hospital stay between LLAH group and LNAH group (all P<0.05). The total bilirubin and albumin in LLAH on the third day after operation were [ M( Q1, Q3)] 24.1(20.9, 29.1) μmol/L and (35.8±2.9) g/L, better than those in LNAH group 39.3(33.2, 57.0) μmol/L and (33.9±2.5) g/L, respectively. The 1- and 3-year DFS rates in LLAH group were 92.3% and 57.7%, higher than those in LNAH group (80.8% and 19.2%) (all P<0.05). After propensity score matching, there were 25 patients each in LLAH and LAH group. The operative time, postoperative hospital stay and postoperative complications of LLAH group were lower than those of LAH group, and the liver function parameters of LLAH group was also better than those of LAH group (all P<0.05). There was no significant difference in DSF rate between the two groups LLAH group and LAH group ( χ2=0.10, P=0.800). Conclusions:The perioperative outcome of LLAH for HCC within the right anterior section are similar to that of LNAH and better than that of LAH. The DFS of LLAH were better than that of LNAH and similar to that of LAH.

Disturbance of macrophage-associated lipid metabolism plays a key role in atherosclerosis. Crosstalk between autophagy deficiency and inflammation response in foam cells (FCs) through epigenetic regulation is still poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that in macrophages, oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) leads to abnormal crosstalk between autophagy and inflammation, thereby causing aberrant lipid metabolism mediated through a dysfunctional transcription factor EB (TFEB)-P300-bromodomain-containing protein 4 (BRD4) axis. ox-LDL led to macrophage autophagy deficiency along with TFEB cytoplasmic accumulation and increased reactive oxygen species generation. This activated P300 promoted BRD4 binding on the promoter regions of inflammatory genes, consequently contributing to inflammation with atherogenesis. Particularly, ox-LDL activated BRD4-dependent super-enhancer associated with liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) on the regulatory regions of inflammatory genes. Curcumin (Cur) prominently restored FCs autophagy by promoting TFEB nuclear translocation, optimizing lipid catabolism, and reducing inflammation. The consequences of P300 and BRD4 on super-enhancer formation and inflammatory response in FCs could be prevented by Cur. Furthermore, the anti-atherogenesis effect of Cur was inhibited by macrophage-specific Brd4 overexpression or Tfeb knock-out in Apoe knock-out mice via bone marrow transplantation. The findings identify a novel TFEB-P300-BRD4 axis and establish a new epigenetic paradigm by which Cur regulates autophagy, inhibits inflammation, and decreases lipid content.

Objective:To explore the clinical value of modified upper urinary tract video urodynamics in evaluating the surgical effect and guiding the follow-up treatment after ureteral reconstruction.Methods:From December 2018 to November 2020, sixty-nine patients underwent upper urinary tract reconstruction and received modified video urodynamics at the time of nephrostomy removal 3 months after the surgery in the RECUTTER database (29 cases in Peking University First Hospital, 22 cases in Emergency General Hospital, and 18 cases in Beijing Jiangong Hospital). There were 39 males and 30 females, with an average age of (40.4±12.7)years. The stricture was located in left in 34 patients, right side in 27 patients, and bilateral sides in 8 patients. The upper, middle, and lower thirds of the ureter were affected in 26, 10, and 33 cases, respectively. The preoperative creatinine was (92.3±26.9)μmol/L, and the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was (85.1±23.2)ml/(min·1.73m 2). The upper urinary tract reconstruction included ileal replacement of ureter in 25 cases (36.2%), pyeloplasty in 8 cases (11.6%), ureteroneocystostomy in 9 cases (13.0%), boari flap in 6 cases (8.7%), lingual mucosal graft ureteroplasty in 9 cases (13.0%), appendiceal onlay ureteroplasty in 3 cases (4.3%), ureteroureterostomy in 3 cases (4.3%), and balloon dilation in 6 cases (8.7%). Based on the pressure and imaging, the results could be divided into three types, type Ⅰ, the pressure difference remained stable near baseline, and the renal pelvis pressure was below 22 cmH 2O(1 cmH 2O=0.098 kPa), and the reconstructed ureter is well visualized during the whole perfusion process; type Ⅱ, the pressure difference increases with the perfusion, but it can decrease to a normal level with the ureteral peristalsis; type Ⅲ, the pressure difference exceeds 15 cmH 2O, and the ureteral peristalsis is weak or disappears at the same time. The management strategies and treatment effects of different subtypes were analyzed. Successful treatment was defined as no further treatment required, the absence of hydronephrosis-related symptoms, and the improved or stabilized degree of hydronephrosis. Results:All 69 patients successfully completed upper urinary tract video urodynamics. The pressure difference was higher than 15 cmH 2O in 8 patients, and the median pressure difference was 37(19-54)cmH 2O. The renal pelvis pressure exceeded 22 cmH 2O in 10 patients, and the median pressure was 63.5 (24-155) cmH 2O. Video urodynamic results of upper urinary tract were classified as type Ⅰ in 60 cases, type Ⅱ in 5 cases, and type Ⅲ in 4 cases. Patients in type Ⅰ do not require other treatment after nephrostomy tube removal. Patients in type Ⅱ should avoid holding urine after the removal of nephrostomy and D-J tubes. All patients in type Ⅲ received further treatment, of which 2 patients replaced D-J tube regularly, 1 patient underwent long-term metal ureteral stent replacement, and 1 patient underwent ureteroscopic balloon dilation. The median follow-up time was 24 (18-42) months. All patients in type Ⅰ met the criteria for surgical success, The pre-and postoperative creatinine in type Ⅰ patients were (88.71±23.09)μmol/L and (88.75±23.64)μmol/L ( P=0.984), and eGFR were (88.06±22.66)ml/(min· 1.73m 2)and (87.97±23.01)ml/(min·1.73m 2), respectively( P=0.969). For type Ⅱ patients, ultrasound showed that the degree of hydronephrosis improved in 3 cases and remained stable in 2 cases. The pre-and postoperative creatinine were (105.97±7.75)μmol/L and (97.63±7.56)μmol/L ( P=0.216), and eGFR were (69.08±14.74)ml/(min·1.73m 2)and (75.95±14.02)ml/(min·1.73m 2)( P=0.243), respectively. For type Ⅲ patients, ultrasound showed that the degree of hydronephrosis remained stable. The pre-and postoperative creatinine were (105.14±44.34)μmol/L and (101.49±57.02)μmol/L ( P=0.684), and eGFR were (65.32±19.85)ml/(min·1.73m 2) and (73.42±27.88) ml/(min·1.73m 2), respectively( P=0.316). Conclusions:The pressure and imaging results of modified upper urinary tract video urodynamics can assist in evaluating the surgical effect of ureteral reconstruction, and the classification has certain guiding significance for further treatment.

ObjectiveTo explore the psychological defense styles and family environment among male prisoners of different terms of imprisonment， and to analyse the relationship between their psychological defense styles and family environment. MethodsA total of 200 male prisoners in a prison in Guangdong were randomly selected from April to June 2015， and they were classified into less than 5 years of imprisonment group （n=108） and 5 years or more imprisonment group （n=92）. Their defense style and family environment were evaluated by Defense Style Questionnaire （DSQ） and Family Environment Scale-Chinese Version （FES-CV）. Pearson correlation analysis was used to test the correlation between each scale score. ResultsThe factor scores of immature defense mechanism and intermediate defense mechanism of DSQ in the group with less than 5 years of imprisonment were lower than those in the group with 5 years or more imprisonment， with statistically significant differences （t=4.198， 1.137， P<0.01）. The scores of FES-CV family intimacy， emotional expression and organizational factors in less than 5 years of imprisonment group were higher than those in 5 years or more imprisonment group （t=3.122， 2.993， 2.203， P<0.01）， and the scores of contradiction factors were lower than those in 5 years or more imprisonment group （t=-3.682， P<0.01）. The scores of DSQ immature， intermediate defense mechanism and concealment factor of male prisoners were negatively correlated with the scores of FES-CV family intimacy and emotional expression factor （r=-0.428~-0.172， P<0.05 or 0.01）， and the scores of 4 factors in DSQ were all positively correlated with the scores of contradiction factor in FES-CV （r=0.175~0.384， P<0.05 or 0.01）. ConclusionCompared with male prisoners with less than 5 years of imprisonment， those with 5 years or more are prone to adopt immature and intermediate defense mechanisms， and their family environments are characterized by apparent contradiction and a lack of family intimacy， emotional expression and organization. Furthermore， the defects of psychological defense mechanism of prisoners are related to their family environment.

Objective:To build a comprehensive clinical management of outpatient with orthotopic neobladder based on doctor-nurse cooperation to provide overall service to patients.Methods:The comprehensive clinical management was established in October 2018, 32 patients were collected retrospectively from January 2009 to before the establishment of the clinic, and 14 patients were collected from the establishment of the clinic to January 2020. After the establishment of the clinic, the comprehensive management mode was adopted, including the medical team implementing management from the aspects of implementing doctor-patient joint decision-making, guiding patients to carry out pelvic floor muscle rehabilitation training, teaching family members to carry out new bladder irrigation, and establishing patients′ records. Before the establishment of the clinic, there was no specialized personnel for unified management, and the doctor for new bladder irrigation and so on.Results:The rate of complete urinary control in the 46 patients with orthotopic neobladder was 82.6%(38/46) in the day and 71.7%(33/46) in the night. The rates of complete urine control of patients in the day and night were 12/14 and 9/14 after the establishment of the clinic. The length of stay which was (13.36 ± 9.44) d, and feeding time which was (5.00 ± 2.11) d of the patients after the establishment of the clinic were both less than those of the patients before the establishment of the clinic, which were (17.28 ± 9.98) d and (5.78 ± 2.90) d, but the differences were not statistically significant ( t values were -1.247 and -0.905 respectively, both P>0.05). However, for diurnal and night-time urine control, the proportion of people with more than one diaper was better after the establishment of outpatient clinic than before. Conclusions:The establishment of the comprehensive clinical management meets the needs of patients with orthotopic neobladder, enables patients to get the function of continence and urination sooner, and contributes to improve the clinical outcome of patients.

Objective:To investigate the effect of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) on glucose and lipid metabolism during pregnancy.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed in women who gave birth in Minhang Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University from January 2013 to June 2020. The data on demographic, clinical examination, and delivery were obtained via electronic medical record abstraction. According to the ultrasound imaging, all pregnant women were divided into NAFLD group and control group. The difference of glucose and lipid metabolism indexes, incidence of gestational diabetes mellitus, and gestational hypertension between two groups were compared. Logistic regression model was used to examine potential associations between NAFLD and metabolic related adverse pregnancy outcomes.Results:A total of 14 708 pregnant women with a mean age of (29.1±4.7) years and a mean body mass index of (21.0±2.8) kg/m 2 were included in our study. Of those eligible women, 554 (3.8%) were confirmed by ultrasound as NAFLD. Pregnant women with NAFLD presented higher circulating levels of fasting glucose [(4.2±0.5)mmol/L vs (4.1±0.5)mmol/L, P<0.01], 1 h plasma glucose [(7.4±1.7)mmol/L vs (6.6±1.6)mmol/L, P<0.01] and 2 h plasma glucose [(6.2±1.4)mmol/L vs (5.7±1.3)mmol/L, P<0.01] after glucose loading, HbA 1C [(5.2±0.4)% vs (5.1±0.5)%, P<0.01], triglyceride [(2.1±1.1)mmol/L vs (1.6±0.7)mmol/L, P<0.01], total cholesterol [(4.8±0.8)mmol/L vs (4.7±0.9)mmol/L, P<0.01], low density lipoprotein-cholesterol [(2.6±0.7)mmol/L vs (2.5±0.7)mmol/L, P<0.01], uric acid [(224.1±51.8)μmol/L vs (203.0±45.9)μmol/L, P<0.01] level. After adjusting for potential confounders, NAFLD significantly increased the risk of gestational diabetes mellitus ( OR=1.722, 95% CI 1.079-2.747, P=0.023) and gestational hypertension ( OR=3.845, 95% CI 2.247-6.582, P<0.001). Conclusions:Compared to non NAFLD, women with a diagnosis of NAFLD had more significant glucose and lipid metablic aberrations during pregnancy and increased incidence of gestational diabetes and gestational hypertension. Pregnant women with NAFLD should be closely monitored on glucose and lipid metabolism and blood pressure to prevent gestational diabetes mellitus and hypertension.

Objective:To study the use of laparoscopic hepatic vein guided anatomic hepatectomy in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma.Methods:The clinical and follow-up data of 62 patients who underwent laparoscopic anatomic hepatectomy at the Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery of Southwest Hospital of the Army Medical University from January 2015 to February 2018 and met the inclusion criteria of the study were retrospectively analyzed. The operation procedure as to whether the main hepatic vein was exposed or not was determined. The patients were divided into the hepatic vein-oriented hepatectomy (HVOH) group when the main hepatic vein was exposed, and the traditional anatomic hepatectomy (TAH) group when the main hepatic vein was not shown. The perioperative and follow-up data of the two methods were compared.Results:A total of 31 cases were included in the HVOH group, there were 28 males and 3 females, age ranged from 29.0-70.0 (49.9±11.2) years. A total of 31 cases were included in the TAH group, there were 27 males and 4 females, age ranged from 22.0-73.0 (51.4±12.1) years. There were no significant differences in operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative hospital stay, intraoperative conversion to open, and perioperative blood transfusion rates between the two groups ( P>0.05). The incidence of postoperative complication was significantly lower in the HVOH group than in the TAH group [9.7% (3/31) vs. 32.2% (10/31)] ( P<0.05), but no serious complications occurred (Clavein Level IV) in this study. The one-year tumor-free survival rate in the HVOH group was significantly higher than that in the TAH group (77.4% vs. 51.6%), ( P<0.05). There were no significant differences in the 1- and 3-year overall survival rates and tumor-free survival rates between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Laparoscopic hepatic vein-guided anatomic hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma had the potential advantages in reducing the perioperative complication rate, and enhanced the early tumor-free survival rates.
