RESUMEN
Objective:To investigate the predictive value of preoperative blood parameters on the efficacy of microscopic varicocele ligation in the treatment of infertility patients with varicocele.Methods:The clinical data of 110 patients with varicocele admitted to Xi′an People′s Hospital and Tangdu Hospital of Air Force Military Medical University from June 2016 to January 2021 were analyzed retrospectively. Successful operation was defined as the restoration of all semen parameters (sperm concentration, forward motility, morphology, etc.) to normal values 6 months after operation. The patients were divided into effective treatment group (group A, 78 cases) and ineffective treatment group (group B, 32 cases). The blood parameters of the two groups were compared before operation. Spearman correlation analysis was used to determine the relationship between blood parameters [neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and mean platelet volume (MPV)] and the success of microscopic varicocele ligation. The predictive value of blood parameters (NLR and MPV) to the success of microscopic varicocele ligation was analyzed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.Results:There was no significant difference in clinical characteristics, and sex hormone levels between the two groups before operation (all P>0.05); There were statistically significant differences in NLR and MPV in blood parameters between the two groups (both P<0.05), and there was no significant differences in other blood parameters (both P>0.05). There was no significant difference in semen parameters between the two groups before operation (all P>0.05). After operation, the semen volume, semen concentration, forward movement and sperm morphology of patients in group A were significantly improved compared with those before operation (all P<0.05), while the parameters of patients in group B had no significant difference compared with those before operation (all P>0.05). There was a negative correlation between preoperative NLR and the success rate of spermatic vein ligation ( r=-0.719, P<0.01), and a positive correlation between MPV and the success rate of spermatic vein ligation ( r=0.522, P<0.01). The ROC curve was used to analyze the threshold of predictive variables for the success of spermatic vein ligation. The optimal critical value of NLR was 2.01 ( P<0.01), and the optimal critical value of MPV was 11.45 ( P<0.01). Conclusions:Low NLR (<2.01) and high MPV (>11.45) may be useful preoperative predictive tools for identifying the group of infertile varicocele patients who would benefit most from microscopic spermatic vein ligation.
RESUMEN
Objective:The purpose of this study was to investigate the expression and role of N-myc downstream regulatory gene 2 (NDRG2) in radiation resistance of bladder cancer cells.Methods:T24 cells were cultured in vitro and irradiated with different doses of X-ray (0, 2, 4, 8, 10 and 20 Gy). The best dose of X-ray was selected for subsequent treatment. The radioresistant BCa cell line T24/R was established. The cytotoxicity of T24/R cells was detected by counting kit-8 (CCK-8) method. The proliferation and invasion ability of T24/R cells and T24 cells were detected by flow cytometry and transwell, respectively. Western blot was used to detect the expression of epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) related proteins. The survival rate of T24/R group (control group) and T24/R-NDRG 2 group was detected, and the migration ability of T24/R-NDRG 2 cells was detected after 2 Gy treatment. Results:The cell viability was inhibited significantly when the dose of X-ray was ≥2 Gy X-ray, so 2 Gy X-ray irradiation was chosen as the best condition for BCa cytotoxicity and T24/R radiation resistance cell line was successfully established; Apoptosis test showed that the number of S-phase cells was increased in T24/R group, and the proportion of S-phase cells in T24/R vs T24 was (26.49±4.5)% vs (14±2.6)% ( P<0.05); Transwell test showed that T24/R cells showed stronger migration ability than control group ( P<0.05), but there was no significant difference in EMT related protein expression between the two groups ( P>0.05). Overexpression of NDRG2 can significantly decreased the activity and migration ability of radiation-resistant T24/R cells ( P<0.05) when the radiation dose was gradually increasing in both groups. Conclusions:The radiation resistance of BCa cells is one of the causes of local tumor recurrence. Up-regulation of NDRG2 expression can inhibit the radiation resistance of T24 cells, so it can be used as a candidate for treatment of radiation-resistant BCa patients.
RESUMEN
Objective:To evaluate the availability and safety of laparoscopic pyeloplasty with extracorporeal ureteral tailor.Methods:Clinical data of 26 patients with ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO)who were treated by laparoscopic combined with extracorporeal ureteral tailor pyeloplasty in our hospital from March 2016 to August 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 19 males and 7 females. 22 cases had unilateral lesion, including 6 cases on the right side and 16 cases on the left; 2 cases were bilateral. The average age was 22.3 years old (6-54 years). 19 cases felt discomfort in the renal region and 7 cases were asymptomatic. The mean body mass index was 21.7 kg/m 2 (17.2- 26.4 kg/m 2). 5 cases had mild hydronephrosis, 17 cases had moderate hydronephrosis and 4 cases had severe hydronephrosis. 6 cases combined with cross vessels. In all the 26 cases, the ureter was pulled out of the abdomen through a laparoscopic incision, cut lengthways in vitro, sutured at the lowest point, and then returned it to the abdomen. Then, double J tube implantation and ureteropelvic anastomosis were performed under the laparoscopy. Results:26 cases were completed successfully without conversion, with the average operation time of 99 minutes (50-158 minutes), the average blood loss of 19.4 ml (10-50 ml), the average hospital stay of 6.5 days (5-11 days), and the average drainage indwelling time of 5.3 days (4-10 days). For complications, urine leakage occurred on the 3rd day after the operation in 1 case, and the daily drainage fluid was more than 500 ml, which decreased suddenly after 4 days. Postoperative average follow-up was 10.8 months (6-24 months). Renal region pain disappeared in all patients. CT reexamination 3 months after the operation showed that hydronephrosis was alleviated or disappeared in 24 cases, and there was no significant change in 2 cases compared with the preoperative images, but no progress was found in the subsequent reexamination, so we didn't deal with the hydronephrosis again.Conclusions:Laparoscopic pyeloplasty combined with extracorporeal ureteral tailor is minimally invasive and flexible, which greatly reduces the difficulty and time of operation, and has a high success rate.
