Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is a lethal malignancy with high metastatic probability. Paired box 2 gene product (PAX2) carbonic anhydrase IX were biomolecules closely linked with ccRCC development and outcomes of multiple malignancies. We aim to explore the role of immunohistochemical staining of PAX2 and CAIX to predict ccRCC prognosis after nephrectomy. Surgical specimens of patients who were pathologically diagnosed as ccRCC were reviewed. Expression levels of PAX2 and CAIX were assessed via immunohistochemical staining. Recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival were compared among different phenotypes. Inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) was used for adjustment of confounding factors. 56 patients were included. Patients with PAX2 and CAIX high-expression (the two-high group, n=8) had significantly longer RFS and OS than those of simultaneously down-expression (the two-low group, n=31). Median RFS was 38.4 (95% CI: 32.3-NA) for the two-high group and 14.8 (95% CI: 13.4-39.0) months for the two-low group (P=0.043). IPTW confirmed PAX2 and CAIX co-expression is associated with less recurrence risk HR: 0.39, 95% CI: 0.17-0.92, P=0.031). Co-expression of PAX2 and CAIX is associated better prognosis of ccRCC. We are looking for validation by large cohort studies.

Hypertriglyceridemia-induced acute pancreatitis (HTG-AP) is characterized by a violent cytokine storm-driven inflammation and is associated with a predisposition to severe disease. The treatment strategy for HTG-AP consists mainly of conventional symptomatic and lipid-lowering treatments. For early-stage HTG-AP, blood purification (BP) can rapidly and effectively reduce serum triglyceride and inflammatory cytokine levels, block the development of systemic inflammatory response syndrome, and improve patient outcomes. Currently, the primary modalities for BP in patients with HTG-AP include plasma exchange, hemoperfusion, and hemofiltration. When using BP to treat patients with HTG-AP, a comprehensive analysis incorporating the elevated lipid levels and severity of the patient's condition contributes to the selection of different treatment modes. Moreover, the timing of the treatment is also imperative. Early intervention is associated with a better prognosis for patients with HTG-AP requiring lipid-lowering treatment.

PURPOSE: The comparison of ibuprofen with ketorolac remains controversial for the pain control of renal colic. We therefore conduct this meta-analysis to compare the analgesic efficacy of ibuprofen with ketorolac for renal colic. METHODS: We have searched PubMed, EMbase, Web of science, EBSCO, and Cochrane library databases through December 2022 for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) assessing the analgesic efficacy of ibuprofen in comparison with ketorolac for renal colic. This meta-analysis was performed using the random-effect or fixed-effect model based on the heterogeneity. RESULTS: Four RCTs were included in the meta-analysis. In patients with renal colic pain, intravenous ibuprofen and ketorolac produced comparable pain scores at 15 min (MD = -0.46; 95% CI = -1.24 to 0.31; P = 0.24), 30 min (MD = -0.81; 95% CI = -1.75 to 0.31; P = 0.09), 60 min (MD=-0.63; 95% CI = -1.40 to 0.13; P = 0.10) and 120 min (MD = -0.74; 95% CI = -2.18 to 0.70; P = 0.31), as well as adverse events (OR = 0.95; 95% CI = 0.61 to 1.49; P = 0.83). CONCLUSION: Ibuprofen can obtain comparable analgesic efficacy to ketorolac for renal colic pain.
