Objective:To examine whether multiple-course prophylactic intravesical instillation chemotherapy is superior to single-course chemotherapy in preventing bladder tumor recurrence after radical nephroureterectomy(RNU)for primary upper tract urothelial carcinoma(UTUC).Methods:A comprehensive literature search was performed using the PubMed, Wanfang Data and China National Knowledge Infrastructure and all publications before March 2021 about clinical trials comparing the effects of single-course and multiple-course prophylactic intravesical instillation chemotherapy after RNU for UTUC were retrieved.Analysis was performed using Stata/SE 12.0.Results:Seven trials included a total of 998 patients, with 473 participants receiving multiple-course and 525 receiving single-course intravesical instillation chemotherapy.Bladder cancer recurrence occurred in 69 out of 473 patients(14.6%)with multiple-course chemotherapy and in 123 out of 525 patients(23.4%)with single-course chemotherapy.The absolute risk reduction was 8.8% and the relative risk reduction was 37.6%.Compared with a single-course instillation, the pooled OR of bladder cancer recurrence was 0.55(95% CI: 0.40-0.76, P<0.001)for multiple-course instillations.No serious adverse events were reported. Conclusions:Compared with single-course instillation chemotherapy, multiple-course prophylactic intravesical instillation chemotherapy significantly decreases the risk of bladder cancer recurrence in primary UTUC patients treated with RNU, indicating multiple intravesical instillation chemotherapy is superior to single instillation chemotherapy.

Objective:To explore the efficacy and safety of robot assisted laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy in the treatment of pelvic organ prolapse.Methods:The data of 16 patients who underwent robot assisted laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy in Beijing Hospital from September 2019 to May 2022 were collected. The average age was (73.5±9.3) years, the preoperative course was 4-240 months, the body mass index was (24.2±1.7) kg/m 2, the number of births was (1.7±0.8), and the quantitative index of pelvic organ prolapse (POP-Q) was grade Ⅲ -Ⅳ. The maximum urine flow rate before operation was (9.6±3.4) ml/s, the maximum detrusor pressure during urination was 26 (20, 32) cmH 2O, the first sense urine volume of the bladder was (119.1±39.4) ml, the first sense urine urgency volume of the bladder was (253.6±75.7) ml, the maximum bladder pressure capacity was (406.0±79.8) ml, and the residual urine volume was 10 (10, 28) ml. The preoperative PFDI-20 score was 100 (70, 122) and the PFIQ-7 score was 107 (90, 160). During the robot assisted laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy, the right area of the sacral promontory was exposed, the anterior and posterior walls of the uterus were separated, and the 2 cm small hole was separated from the right broad ligament of the uterus. The mesh was cut into a "Y" shape and passed through the small hole. The anterior and posterior leaves of the Y-shaped mesh were sutured to fix the cervix, and the other end was fixed to the anterior longitudinal ligament of the sacrum. The operation time and intraoperative bleeding were observed. The effect of surgery was evaluated by preoperative and postoperative urodynamic imaging, POP-Q stage, PFDI-20 score and PFIQ -7 score. Results:All the 16 operations were successfully completed. No injury of urethra, bladder, rectum, important blood vessels and nerves occurred during the operation. The average operation time was (255.6±56.0) min, and the average amount of bleeding was (28.8±18.2) ml. There was no inhibitory contraction wave in 7 patients (44%) before operation, suggesting that there was detrusor overactivity. After operation, the detrusor overactivity disappeared or significantly decreased in 7 patients. The postoperative follow-up period was 3-36 months. During the follow-up period, one patient had recurrence, and the rest had no prolapse and urination problems. The POP-Q stage was reduced to grade 0-Ⅰ after the operation. The subjective satisfaction rate of patients was 94%. The PFDI-20 score [13(8, 24)] and PFIQ -7 score [11(6, 15)] after operation were significantly reduced ( P<0.001), the initial urgent volume of bladder (272.5±88.5) ml was significantly increased compared with that before operation ( P=0.038), and the maximum volume of bladder (427.2±79.2) ml was significantly increased compared with that before operation ( P=0.006). Image urodynamics showed that the patient basically recovered the pelvic floor anatomy and achieved functional reduction. Conclusions:Robot assisted laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy has good subjective and objective effects in POP, low recurrence rate and less complications. It needs a larger sample size study for confirming the improvement of bladder function.

Objective:To explore the potential relationship of urethral pressure profilometry and the complications of artificial urethral sphincter (AUS) implantation.Methods:The clinical data of patients who underwent AUS implantation in Beijing Hospital from March 2019 to March 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. All the patients were male. The average course of disease was 43.1 months(ranging 11-120 months). The average age was (68.6±13.2) years. The median number of pads used was 4.5 (3.0, 6.0). The preoperative maximum urethral pressure (MUP) was (84.6±25.5) cmH 2O, and the maximum urethral closure pressure (MUCP) was 51.0 (41.0, 74.0) cmH 2O. AUS implantation was performed through a single perineal incision in all patients. The sleeve size was mainly determined by the measured urethral circumference of the patient. After installation of all components, the urethral pressure profilometry was performed under the state of device inactivation and activation. The pump was activated 6 weeks after the operation, and telephone follow-up was performed 3 months after the activation of the device. The urinary control and complications were recorded. The results of follow-up were compared with the results of urethral pressure profilometry, and the preliminary conclusions were drawn. Results:In this study, 3 patients (20%) received 4.0cm cuffs, 10 patients (66.7%) received 4.5cm cuffs, and 2 patients (13.3%) received 5.0cm cuffs. The MUP and MUCP of AUS device in inactivated state were (82.5±30.2) cmH 2O and 51.0(48.0, 77.0) cmH 2O. In the activated state, MUP was (138.9±21.7) cmH 2O and MUCP was 109.0(94.0, 133.0) cmH 2O. Compared with that before operation, the urethral pressure in the inactivated state did not increase significantly (all P > 0.05), while the urethral pressure in the activated state increased significantly (all P < 0.001). The patients were followed-up for 3-33 months. Thirteen patients (86.7%) used the initial installation device, and all of them met the standard of social continence. One patient died of cerebrovascular accident. One patient took out the device due to urethral erosion. The incidence of complications was 26.7% (4/15), including painless hematuria in 2 cases, scrotum and penis infection in 1 case, and urethral erosion in 1 case. The MUP and MUCP of these patients were (100.0 ± 40.7) cmH 2O and (80.8 ± 39.7) cmH 2O respectively. In the intraoperative active state, the MUP was (151.5 ± 15.3) cmH 2O and the MUCP was (123.0 ± 17.2) cmH 2O. The MUP of the other 3 patients in the device activation state was significantly higher than the average value, and all of them were above 150 cm H 2O, except one patient who was infected due to cognitive problems and chronic urinary retention. In 11 patients without complications, the MUP and MUCP were (76.1±24.7) cmH 2O and (55.1±20.0) cmH 2O respectively. In the intraoperative active state, the MUP was (134.4±22.5) cmH 2O and the MUCP was (108.5±29.8) cmH 2O. Conclusions:AUS implantation has a definite curative effect. Poor comprehension, and MUP higher than 150 cmH 2O in the activated state of the device may be risk factors for complications.

Objective To evaluate the real-life clinical characteristics of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) patients with moderate and severe enlarged prostate. Methods From February 2009 to January 2011,a prospective,non-interventional,multi-center study was conducted on 2 758 BPH patients recruited from 32 hospitals in 10 cities nationwide with the following criteria:prostate volume (PV) larger ≥30 ml and international prostate symptom score (IPSS) ≥ 8. Patient age,PV,IPSS,Qmax medical treatment patterns and physician prescription practice were recorded. The demographic information and clinic characteristics were evaluated as well. Results The mean patient age,PV,IPSS score and Qmax of 2 786eligible patients were 69.2 ±8.5 years (50 to 97 years),47.8 ±16.6 ml (30 to 165 ml),17.5 ±5.4 (8to 35 ) and 11.6 ± 3.6 ml/s (2 to 36 ml/s),respectively.Age subgroup analysis pointed that the mean PV and Qmax in 50 -55 years group were 42.8 ml and 13.3 ml/s compared to 49.0 ml and 11.1 ml/s in the group beyond 71 years.Both parameters had statistical significances (P < 0.05 ). For 56.1% of the patients,it was their first time coming to clinic seeking for medical advice. Of whom,22.8% patients had taken BPH prescription medication regularly beyond two weeks.Only 31.3% of the patients had a history of BPH shorter than one year.22.9% and 18.3% of the patients had a history of BPH for 1 -2 and 3 -4 years.And 27.5% of the patients had a history of BPH related symptoms longer than five years. Only 52.6% patients were treated with α adrenoceptor antagonists + 5-α reductase inhibitor by urologists according to the recommendation in Chinese guideline of BPH. Conclusions The symptoms and key parameters of moderate and severe benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) patients become worse and more with increased age in China.It is quite late for most patients coming to clinic seeking for their first medical advice.Furthermore,there is a huge gap between urologist prescription and the recommendation of the Chinese guideline on BPH.

Objective To compare the urodynamic parameters in female patients with incontinence with or without pelvic organ prolapse. Methods The urodynamic data from 140 patients diagnosed urinary incontinence and another 42 patients coexisted with pelvic organ prolapse were reviewed and analyzed. The urodynamics parameters were compared in perfusion, urination, bladder compliance, maximum urinary flow rate (Qmax), detrusor muscle pressure of maximum urinary flow rate (Pdet,Qmax), minimum urinary flow rate(Pdet, Qmax), urethral resistance factor (RUA), obstruction of bladder index (OBI) and normalized detrusor contractility. The influence of pelvic organ prolapses with incontinence on bladder filling and voiding function was evaluated also.Results There were no significant differences between 140 patients of urinary incontinence and 42 patients coexisted with pelvic organ prolapse in perfusion (P=0.142), bladder compliance (P=0.273), Qmax(P=0.192),Pdet (P=-0. 629), Qmin (P=0.365) and normalized detrusor contractility (P=0.380). There were significant differences in age(P=2.2×10-5), urination(P=0.034), Pdet.Qmax(P=0.045), RUA(P=0.018), OBI (P=0.017). Conclusions There is not clinically significant change in urine storage function of bladder in patients with pelvic organ prolapse, but the parameters of voiding function of bladder may existe difference. The increased bladder outlet resistance and postvoid residual urine are noticed in patients with pelvic organ prolapse.

Objective To explore the classification and risk factors of nocturia in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Methods The 120 males aged 60 years old and over were enrolled who were first diagnosed as BPH or had ceased the BPH medication for at least 3 months.The patients were divided into six groups according to the nocturnal voiding episodes estimated according to the international prostate symptom score (IPSS). All 120 males were inquired about general information and medical histories. The time and volume of intake and voided urine were recorded for 72 hours. The indexes of prostate and bladder function in all cases were also examined and recorded. Results The incidence of nocturia in our study was 79.2%, the incidence of nocturnal polyuria and overactive bladder were 3.3% and 10.8%, respectively. The quality of life was affected by the duration between the time of patients' going to bed and the first time getting up at night. After excluding the cases of nocturnal polyuria and overactive bladder, statistical analysis indicated that the age, and residual urine volume of the bladder were positively associated with nocturia frequencies (NF), the nocturnal voiding volume negatively with NF, while the prostate volume and peak flow rate were not associated with NF. Drinking volume in 24-hours affected the nocturia (P<0. 01). Conclusions Nocturia is a common complaint in elderly males with BPH and significantly affects the quality of life. The age and the storing function of bladder are more important factors as compared with prostate hyperplasia itself.

Objective To improve the finding of prostate cancer (PCa) and prevent the unnecessary biopsies, we select proper patients for biopsy and analyze. Methods The retrospective study included 258 patients who were biopsied for suspected early PCa. Then we analyse how the age, prostate volume, PSA, transrectal ultrasound sonography (TRUS) and MRI affect the finding of prostate cancer. Results Altogether 146 BPH and 112 prostate cancer by biopsy were detected. Positive ratio of biopsy was increased with the age or PSA increases but has no relationship with the prostate volume. Combination with digital rectal examination, PSA and TRUS, the positive ratio was improved and unecessary biopsies were avoided. The detective rate reached 84.6% when all of these three parameters were positive. The sensitivity of MRI was 98.3% but specificity was only 22.4%. The total efficacy was 21.8%. Conclusions The effect of DRE, PSA and TRUS in the screening of prostate cancer should be emphasized. However, importance of MRI is limited for the early detection of PCa.
