RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: To identify the association between the insertion/deletion polymorphism of interleukin- 1A gene (IL1A) and the susceptibility of prostate cancer (PCA). METHODS: We performed a case-control study enrolling 131 PCA patients and 229 healthy control subjects in a Chinese Han population. The TTCA insertion/ deletion polymorphism (rs3783553) in 3'-UTR of IL1A gene was genotyped by PCR-RFLP method. RESULTS: The genotype distribution of rs3783553 in both groups met the requirements of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. Significantly reduced PCA risk was associated with D/I and I/I genotype compared to D/D genotype (P<0. 001, OR=O. 48, 95%CI: 0.31-0.74), and allele I is associated with the reduced PCA risk (P=0. 001,OR=0. 56,95% CI: 0. 40-0. 79). CONCLUSION: TTCA insertion allele of rs3783553 contributes to the reduction of the susceptibility to prostate cancer.

BACKGROUND: The majority of renal cell carcinomas are single lesions; unilateral synchronous multifocal renal carcinoma (USMRC) is rarely reported and poses a treatment challenge for urological oncologists. CASE SUMMARY: A 56-year-old man was hospitalized for pain and discomfort in the right kidney area for 6 d. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography demonstrated cT1a renal tumors at the lower pole of the right kidney and a cT1b renal tumor at the middle dorsal portion of the right kidney. The patient underwent retroperitoneal laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (RLPN). There were no complications peri-operatively. Histopathology revealed a low-grade, pathologic stage T1a (pT1a), clear cell renal cell carcinoma at the lower pole of the right kidney and a pT1b, chromophobe renal cell carcinoma at the middle dorsal portion of the right kidney. No tumor bed recurrence or metastasis was observed on imaging and his renal function remained stable during the 12-mo follow-up period. CONCLUSION: RLPN is a safe, effective, and feasible for the management of USMRC, which can obtain equivalent oncological results with optimal renal function preservation.
RESUMEN
Ultraviolet-visible absorption spectral properties of Sudan III in different solvents were studied. The results show that the main absorption peaks are located in 200-230 nm, 340-360 nm and 490-510 nm. When Sudan III is in polar solvent, two absorption peaks appear in the mid-ultraviolet region, 200-230 nm. And when it is in nonpolar solvent, the absorption changes from two peaks to one peak with the concentration of Sudan III increasing. When it is in composite solvent, the two absorption peaks disappear, but one absorption peak appears at 310 nm. Molar absorptivities of Sudan III in the five solvents were determined, whose order of magnitude was 10(4).
RESUMEN
The UV-Vis spectroscopic characterization of Sudan I, Sudan III and Sudan IV in nonpolar solvent ligarine, polar solvent acetonitrile, and acetonitrile-water mixture was studied. The characteristic absorption peaks of sudan series were a little red shifted in polar solvent compared to that in nonpolar solvent. In acetonitrile-water mixture the red shift of characteristic absorption peaks of sudan I and sudan III is respectively 13 and 8 nm, but the characteristic absorption peaks of sudan IV are red shifted before blue shifted. The increased adsorption strength of Sudan I, Sudan III and Sudan IV is 34.5%, 11% and 2.5% respectively. For these, the important reason is that the destroyed intramolecular hydrogen bond in Sudan series enlarges the scope of the pi delocalized bond in polar solvent.
