Abstract
Objective: The ultrasonography features of alveolar soft part sarcoma (ASPS) and intramuscular capillary-type hemangiomas (ICTH) were analyzed, and the diagnostic model of ASPS was established. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out. The clinical data of 52 patients [28 males and 24 females, aged (20.7±15.1) years] with pathologically confirmed ASPS and ICTH admitted to People's Hospital of Henan Province from January 2005 to February 2023 were included in the study. According to pathological types, the patients were divided into ASPS group and ICTH group. Clinical data of patients were retrospectively collected, and meaningful indicators in the univariate analysis were included in the regression analysis for screening. After comprehensive consideration of clinical significance and statistical significance, eligible indicators were selected for inclusion in the regression analysis. Binary logistic regression analysis was used to screen the factors that distinguished the pathological types of ASPS and ICTH, and the diagnostic model was established. The area under receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) was used to evaluate the diagnostic effectiveness of the diagnostic model in distinguishing ASPS from ICTH. Results: There were 20 patients in ASPS group, 10 males and 10 females, aged (26.9±13.5) years, and 32 patients in ICTH group, 18 males and 14 females, aged (16.8±15.0) years. The age difference between the ASPS group and the ICTH group was statistically significant (P<0.05), and there were statistically significant differences in the ultrasound imaging features of "clear boundary" "peripheral lobe" "thin blood vessels inside the lesion are straight and out of shape" "intra-lesion liquification" "peripheral thick blood vessels" and "peripheral muscle fiber disruption" between the two groups (all P<0.001).Variables with clinical and statistical significance were selected as independent variables. Binary logistic regression analysis showed that peripheral muscle fiber interruption (OR=97.358, 95%CI:6.833-1 387.249) and internal thin blood vessels were flat and out of shape (OR=0.052, 95%CI:0.003-0.921) was the correlation factor to distinguish the pathological types of ASPS and ICTH. Two ultrasonic image features of "peripheral muscle fiber interruption" and "internal thin blood vessels are straight and out of shape" were used to establish the diagnostic model. The sensitivity of "peripheral muscle fiber interruption" diagnostic model was 81.3%, and the specificity was 95.0%. The AUC was 0.811(95%CI: 0.761-0.954). The sensitivity, specificity and AUC of the diagnosis model of "internal thin vessels with flat misshape" were 90.0%, 96.9% and 0.934(95%CI: 0.830-0.984). The sensitivity, specificity and AUC of the combined diagnosis model of "peripheral muscle fiber interruption" and "internal thin blood vessel straight out of shape" were 96.9%, 90.0% and 0.974(95%CI:0.877-0.999). Conclusion: Ultrasonography can be used to distinguish ASPS from ICTH, and the combined diagnostic model based on the two ultrasonic imaging features of "peripheral muscle fiber interruption" and "internal thin blood vessel straight out of shape" can further improve the diagnostic efficiency.

Abstract
Major facilitator superfamily domain-containing 2a (Mfsd2a) is a sodium-dependent lysophosphatidylcholine cotransporter that plays an important role in maintaining the integrity of the blood-brain barrier and neurological function. Abnormal degradation of Mfsd2a often leads to dysfunction of the blood-brain barrier, while upregulation of Mfsd2a can retrieve neurological damage. It has been reported that Mfsd2a can be specifically recognized and ubiquitinated by neural precursor cell-expressed developmentally downregulated gene 4 type 2 (NEDD4-2) ubiquitin ligase and finally degraded through the proteasome pathway. However, the structural basis for the specific binding of Mfsd2a to NEDD4-2 is unclear. In this work, we combined deep learning and molecular dynamics simulations to obtain a Mfsd2a structure with high quality and a stable Mfsd2a/NEDD4-2-WW3 interaction model. Moreover, molecular mechanics generalized Born surface area (MM-GBSA) methods coupled with per-residue energy decomposition studies were carried out to analyze the key residues that dominate the binding interaction. Based on these results, we designed three peptides containing the key residues by truncating the Mfsd2a sequences. One of them was found to significantly inhibit Mfsd2a ubiquitination, which was further validated in an oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) model in a human microvascular endothelial cell line. This work provides some new insights into the understanding of Mfsd2a and NEDD4-2 interaction and might promote further development of drugs targeting Mfsd2a ubiquitination.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the diagnostic efficiency and clinical application value of an artificial intelligence-assisted diagnosis model based on a three-dimensional convolutional neural network (3D CNN) on echocardiographic videos of patients with hypertensive heart disease, chronic renal failure (CRF) and hypothyroidism with cardiac involvement. Methods: This study is a retrospective study. The patients with hypertensive heart disease, CRF and hypothyroidism with cardiac involvement, who admitted in Henan Provincial People's Hospital from April 2019 to October 2021, were enrolled. Patients were divided into hypertension group, CRF group, and hypothyroidism group. Additionally, a simple random sampling method was used to select control healthy individuals, who underwent physical examination at the same period. The echocardiographic video data of enrolled participants were analyzed. The video data in each group was divided into a training set and an independent testing set in a ratio of 5 to 1. The temporal and spatial characteristics of videos were extracted using an inflated 3D convolutional network (I3D). The artificial intelligence assisted diagnosis model was trained and tested. There was no case overlapped between the training and validation sets. A model was established according to cases or videos based on video data from 3 different views (single apical four chamber (A4C) view, single parasternal left ventricular long-axis (PLAX) view and all views). The statistical analysis of diagnostic performance was completed to calculate sensitivity, specificity and area under the ROC curve (AUC). The time required for the artificial intelligence and ultrasound physicians to process cases was compared. Results: A total of 730 subjects aged (41.9±12.7) years were enrolled, including 362 males (49.6%), and 17 703 videos were collected. There were 212 cases in the hypertensive group, 210 cases in the CRF group, 105 cases in the hypothyroidism group, and 203 cases in the normal control group. The diagnostic performance of the model predicted by cases based on single PLAX view and all views data was excellent: (1) in the hypertensive group, the sensitivity, specificity and AUC of models based on all views data were 97%, 89% and 0.93, respectively, while those of models based on a single PLAX view were 94%, 95%, and 0.94, respectively; (2) in the CRF group, the sensitivity, specificity and AUC of models based on all views data were 97%, 95% and 0.96, respectively, while those of models based on a single PLAX view were 97%, 89%, and 0.93, respectively; (3) in the hypothyroidism group, the sensitivity, specificity and AUC of models based on all views data were 64%, 100% and 0.82, respectively, while those of models based on a single PLAX view were 82%, 89%, and 0.86, respectively. The time required for the 3D CNN model to measure and analyze the echocardiographic videos of each subject was significantly shorter than that for the ultrasound physicians ((23.96±6.65)s vs. (958.25±266.17)s, P<0.001). Conclusions: The artificial intelligence assisted diagnosis model based on 3D CNN can extract the dynamic temporal and spatial characteristics of echocardiographic videos jointly, and quickly and efficiently identify hypertensive heart disease and cardiac changes caused by CRF and hypothyroidism.

Abstract
This manuscript describes the formation of an artifact shoulder peak with a slightly larger retention time than the main peak under the standard non-reduced capillary electrophoresis with sodium dodecyl sulfate (nrCE-SDS) analysis of a therapeutic recombinant protein X, and clarifies the formation mechanism of the artifact caused by N-ethylmaleimide (NEM) during the sample preparation procedure. A design of experiment (DoE) approach was used to investigate the impact of the factors on the formation of the impurity. Additionally, orthogonal analytical experiments were performed to study the root cause of this phenomenon. The results consistently suggested that the Michael addition reaction between NEM and lysine residues in protein X, and decreased electrophoretic mobility due to increased molecular weight, was the root cause for the artifact, which could be partially inhibited by modifications of incubation conditions. Thus, before performing the nrCE-SDS method, the effects of alkylation reagents and sample preparation procedure on analytical results need to be considered seriously.

Abstract
To explore prognostic factors in intermediate-risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients with minimal residual disease (MRD) negativity (MRD<0.1%,MRD-)receiving autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (auto-HSCT).A total of 59 intermediate-risk AML patients with MRD-were treated with auto-HSCT from January 2015 to September 2021 at Affiliated People's Hospital of Ningbo University. The clinical data and laboratory results were collected retrospectively. Efficacy, clinical outcome and prognostic factors were analyzed. Univariate analysis was conducted by using log-rank test, the multivariate analysis by Cox proportional risk model.Among 59 patients, there were 27 males and 32 females with median age of 55 (31-69) years old.The median follow-up was 761(317-1 861)days. The 2-year overall survival (OS) rate and event-free survival (EFS) rate were 76.1%±11.4% and 73.4%±11.6% respectively.The univariate analysis showed that age older than 50 years, TET2 gene mutation (TET2+), achieving MRD negativity over 30 days (MRD30+) were unfavorable factors of OS (χ2=6.20, 33.20, 7.18;P=0.013,<0.001, 0.007). TET2+, WT1 gene mutation (WT1+), CD34+cells<2×106/kg, MRD30+were negative factors of EFS (χ2=17.29, 4.47, 3.94, 9.393;P<0.001, 0.035, 0.047, 0.002).Multivariate analysis showed that MRD30+, TET2+ were independent prognostic factors of OS and EFS (OS:HR=9.251, 25.839, P=0.036, 0.001;EFS:HR=5.851, 9.199, P=0.043, 0.002). Intermediate-risk AML patients with MRD30+or TET2+ have very poor prognosis after auto-HSCT. Alternative regimens should be investigated.

Abstract
Objective: To quantitatively evaluate myocardial work in patients with hepatitis B cirrhosis by using left ventricular pressure-strain loop. Methods: 70 cases with hepatitis B cirrhosis who were hospitalized in Henan Provincial People's Hospital from March to December 2020 were selected as the study group. Patients were divided into three subgroups according to the Child-Pugh score of liver cirrhosis (Child-Pugh class A, B, and C groups: 25, 25, and 20 patients, respectively). At the same time, 25 healthy volunteers were included as the control group. Global longitudinal strain (GLS), global myocardial work index (GWI), global work efficiency (GWE), global constructive work (GCW), and global wasted work (GWW) were obtained by applying pressure-strain loops. The differences were analyzed and compared among the four groups parameters. Results: Compared with the control group, the Child-Pugh class A group had decreased GLS, while Child-Pugh class B and C had decreased GLS, GWI, GWE, GCW, and increased GWW, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Compared with Child-Pugh class A group, Child-Pugh class B group had decreased GLS, GWE, and increased GWW, while Child-Pugh class C group had decreased GLS,GWI, GWE, GCW, and increased GWW, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Compared with Child-Pugh class B group, Child-Pugh class C group had decreased GLS, GWI, GWE, GCW, and increased GWW, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion: The pressure-strain loop can detect early myocardial dysfunction, and has a certain value in the diagnosis, treatment and prognosis evaluation of myocardial function changes in patients with hepatitis B cirrhosis.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effect of continuous intravenous infusion of subanesthetic dose of esketamine intraoperatively on postoperative opioid consumption in patients undergoing thoracoscopic surgery. Methods: A total of 71 patients with elective thoracoscopic lung surgery in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from December 2020 to December 2021 were selected. Patients who were classified as grade Ⅰ or Ⅱ by the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) and aged 18-70 years were included, including 32 males and 39 females, with a body mass index (BMI) of 18.5-30.0 kg/m2. The patients were randomly divided into three groups: (1) Control group (group C, n=24): continuous intravenous infusion of normal saline at the same rate during surgery; (2) Subanesthetic dose of esketamine 0.125 mg·kg-1·h-1 group (group ES1, n=23): continuous intravenous infusion of esketamine at a rate of 0.125 mg·kg-1·h-1 during surgery; (3) Subanesthetic dose of esketamine 0.250 mg·kg-1·h-1 group (group ES2, n=24): continuous intravenous infusion of esketamine at a rate of 0.250 mg·kg-1·h-1 during surgery. The main outcome measures were the total consumptions of hydromorphone of 3 groups within 24 and 48 hours after surgery. The secondary outcome measures were the extubation time, length of postanesthesia care unit (PACU) stay, the time of first feeding, and the incidences of adverse effects within 24 h after surgery in 3 groups. Results: The 24 h postoperative consumption of hydromorphone in group C, ES1 and ES2 was (5.4±1.0) mg, (4.5±1.5) mg and (4.0±0.8) mg, respectively. Likewise, the 48 h postoperative consumption of hydromorphone was (9.7±2.2) mg, (9.0±3.0) mg and (7.7±1.8) mg, respectively. Compared with group C, the 24 h postoperative hydromorphone consumptions were significantly reduced in group ES1 and ES2 (both P<0.05). The extubation time, length of PACU stay and the time of first feeding after surgery in group C were (23±10) min,(70±12) min,(17±3) h,in group ES1 were (22±4) min,(69±11) min,(14±5) h,in group ES2 were (16±8) min,(58±12) min,(14±3) h, respectively. Compared with group C and group ES1, both of the extubation time and length of PACU stay were shortened in group ES2 (both P<0.05). Compared with group C, the first postoperative feeding time of group ES1 and ES2 was shortened (both P<0.05). There were no differences in the incidences of adverse effects at postoperative 24 h among 3 groups (all P>0.05). Conclusion: Continuously intravenous infusion of subanesthetic esketamine at a rate of 0.250 mg·kg-1·h-1 can significantly reduce the postoperative opioid consumption and improve the patient's outcomes.

The contribution of histone mark redistribution to the age-induced decline of endogenous neuroprotection remains unclear. In this study, we used an intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH)-induced acute brain injury rat model to study the transcriptional and chromatin responses in 13- and 22-month-old rats. Transcriptome analysis (RNA-seq) revealed that the expression of neuroinflammation-associated genes was systematically upregulated in ICH rat brains, irrespective of age. Further, we found that interferon-γ (IFN-γ) response genes were activated in both 13- and 22-month-old rats. Anti-IFN-γ treatment markedly reduced ICH-induced acute brain injury in 22-month-old rats. At the chromatin level, ICH induced the redistribution of histone modifications in the promoter regions, especially H3K4me3 and H3K27me3, in neuroinflammation-associated genes in 13- and 22-month-old rats, respectively. Moreover, ICH-induced histone mark redistribution and gene expression were found to be correlated. Collectively, these findings demonstrate that histone modifications related to gene expression are extensively regulated in 13- and 22-month-old rats and that anti-IFN-γ is effective for ICH treatment, highlighting the potential of developing therapies targeting histone modifications to cure age-related diseases, including brain injury and neuroinflammation.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the diagnosis value of myocardial work (MW) in evaluating left ventricular global systolic function among acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients with preserved ejection fraction (LVEF). Methods: This study was a diagnostic trial in a prospective case-control design. AMI patients with preserved LVEF were enrolled as AMI(LVEF>50%) group and age and sex-matched healthy individuals undergoing healthy checkup in our hospital were collected as control group. Two-dimensional dynamic images, including standard apical two-chamber, long-axis and four-chamber views in 3 consecutive cardiac cycles were acquired. General clinical data, routine echocardiography and myocardial work parameters were obtained from all subjects. The indices were compared between the two groups. Intra-observer and inter-observer repeatability of myocardial work parameters were evaluated by intra-group correlation coefficient (ICC). Receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve was used to determine the diagnostic value of global constructive work (GCW), global wasted work (GWW), global work efficiency (GWE) and global work index (GWI) on the reduction of left ventricular global systolic function in AMI(LVEF>50%) group. Results: There were 30 patients in AMI(LVEF>50%) group, the age was (67.3±9.7)years, and 14 cases were female(46.7%). Thirty participants were included in the control group, the age was (68.1±8.6)years, and 12 cases were female (40.0%). Compared with the control group, left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD), left ventricular end-systolic diameter (LVESD), interventricular septum thickness (IVSD), left ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDV), left ventricular end-systolic volume (LVESV), peak early diastolic velocity of mitral orifice/tissue Doppler velocity of posterior mitral annulus (E/e), left ventricular mass (LVM), left ventricular mass index (LVMI) were significantly higher, while E and e values were significantly lower in AMI (LVEF>50%) group (all P<0.05). Compared with the control group, GCW ((1 145.9±440.1)mmHg% (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) vs. (1 425.7±355.4)mmHg%), GWE ((80.9±9.5)% vs. (87.3±5.5)%), GWI ((1 001.3±416.2)mmHg% vs. (1 247.6±341.7)mmHg%) and the absolute value of long axis integral strain (GLS) ((8.5±3.4)% vs. (11.4±3.7)%) were significantly lower, while peak strain dispersion(PSD)((101.3±66.4)ms vs. (74.7±31.9)ms) was significantly higher in AMI(LVEF>50%) group (P all<0 05). There was no significant difference in GWW((177.2±71.1)mmHg% vs. (155.7±64.6)mmHg%) between the two groups (P>0.05). The reproducibility of GCW, GWW, GWE and GWI within and between observers were satisfactory (all ICC>0.75). ROC curve analysis showed that all four parameters, GCW, GWW, GWE, and GWI, could be used for the diagnosis of reduced left ventricular systolic function in patients with AMI (LVEF>50%), and their areas under the ROC curve were 0.896,0.929,0.808,0.862. Conclusion: Myocardial work assessment is valuable on diagnosing left ventricular global systolic function reduction in AMI patients with preserved LVEF.

Abstract
HS002 is the recombinant human tumor necrosis factor-α receptor Ⅱ: IgG Fc fusion protein licensed in China to treat rheumatism and psoriasis. The aim of this study was to isolate and characterize the hydrophobic freeze-dried powder injection (HS002) and ampoule injection (HS002A) variants derived from proteins of the same sequence and then to explore the structure-function relationship. Extensive physicochemical and structural testing was performed during a side-by-side comparison of the monomer peak and variant. Then the TNF-α-related binding activity, cell biological activity and affinity with FcRn were analyzed. Finally, a transformation study of the hydrophobic variant was performed under serum-like redox conditions. This research revealed that HS002A has similar physicochemical and structure-function relationship profiles to those of HS002. The hydrophobic variant exhibited the presence of new incorrect disulfide bridging. At the same time, this novel disulfide scrambled species structure-function relationship was found to be the molecular basis for reduced TNF-α binding and cell biological activities. In addition, incorrect disulfide bridging was found to be reversible under serum-like redox conditions, restoring TNF-α binding and cell biological activities to almost normal levels, all of which indicate that the variant is probably irrelevant to clinical efficacy once the drug enters the bloodstream.

Abstract
The novel anti-PD-L1/TGFBR2-ECD fusion protein (BR102) comprises an anti-PD-L1 antibody (HS636) which is fused at the C terminus of the heavy chain to a TGF-β1 receptor Ⅱ ectodomain (TGFBR2-ECD), and which can sequester the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway and TGF-β bioactivity in the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. In the expression of TGFBR2-ECD wild-type fused protein (BR102-WT), a 50 kDa clipped species was confirmed to be induced by proteolytic cleavage at a "QKS" site located in the N-terminus of the ectodomain, which resulted in the formation of IgG-like clipping. The matrix metalloproteinase-9 was determined to be associated with BR102-WT digestion. In addition, it was observed that the N-glycosylation modifications of the fusion protein were tightly involved in regulating proteolytic activity and the levels of cleavage could be significantly suppressed by MMP-inhibitors. To avoid proteolytic degradation, eliminating protease-sensitive amino acid motifs and introducing potential glycosylation were performed. Three sensitive motifs were mutated, and the levels of clipping were strongly restrained. The mutant candidates exhibited similar binding affinities to hPD-L1 and hTGF-β1 as well as highly purified BR102-WT2. Furthermore, the mutants displayed more significant proteolytic resistance than that of BR102-WT2 in the lysate incubation reaction and the plasma stability test. Moreover, the bifunctional candidate Mu3 showed an additive antitumor effect in MC38/hPD-L1 bearing models as compared to that of with anti-PD-L1 antibody alone. In conclusion, in this study, the protease-sensitive features of BR102-WT were well characterized and efficient optimization was performed. The candidate BR102-Mutants exhibited advanced druggability in drug stability and displayed desirable antitumor activity.

Abstract
Charge variants are the most commonly observed sources of heterogeneity in the routine manufacturing of monoclonal antibodies. To gain further insight into the structural foundation of charge heterogeneity and its influence on biological functions, an infliximab biosimilar HS626 from a biopharmaceutical facility was isolated by semipreparative cation exchange chromatography (CEX) to obtain fractions of acidic and basic charge variants and determine the main species. It was assessed again by CEX to ensure purities. Through a series of structural and physicochemical characterizations, we concluded that the acidic variants were caused by fragments, Met oxidation, Asn deamidation, higher levels of sialylation and galactosylation of N-linked glycans, and less high mannose. The basic variants resulted mainly from aggregates, fragments, and Met oxidation. Through further analysis of antigen binding affinity, cell death inhibitory activity, ADCC, and CDC, as well as FcRn, FcγRIIIa, and C1q affinity, we demonstrated that the charge heterogeneity did not affect biological functions. This research enhances the understanding of charge variants, which are usually effective components that should not be intentionally reduced unless biological functions are affected.

Abstract
Objective: To Investigate the application strategy and effect of cuffed tracheostomy tube with inner cannula in the treatment of postoperative complications of laryngeal and hypopharyngeal cancer. Methods: A total of 60 patients with laryngeal and hypopharyngeal cancer occurred serious postoperative complications, including 31 cases of severe postoperative neck infection, 8 cases of dyspnea, 5 cases of massive hemorrhage and 16 cases of seriously intractable aspiration. The tracheal cannula with inner cannula and outer cuff was immediately worn on these patients and the cuff was inflated. Different treatments were carried out according to different complications. The outer cuffs were inflated for patients with severe neck infections to prevent a large amount of neck secretions inhaled to the trachea. Patients with dyspnea immediately received ventilator-assisted ventilation. For those with massive hemorrhage on the wound, doctors should prevent bleeding and stop bleeding under general anesthesia. Patients with severely coughing should perform eating training to prevent food aspiration. The inner cannula was regularly replaced once a month for all of these patients. Results: Through targeted treatment, the complications of 60 patients with cuffed tracheostomy tube with inner cannula were effectively controlled. After dressing change, the neck wounds of 31 patients with neck infection were shrunk or healed. Finally, all of the patients were replaced with metal tracheal tubes. Eight cases with dyspnea were rescued with the symptomatic and related special treatment, and finally replace by metal tracheal tube. Five cases with massive bleeding in the neck wound were successfully rescued and replaced with metal tracheal cannula. Thirteen patients among 16 cases with intractable aspiration were removed the tracheal cannula and other 3 cases of old and severely ill were replaced with metal tracheal cannula. Conclusions: The cuffed tracheostomy tube with inner cannula is of great value in the treatment of severe postoperative complications of laryngeal or hypopharyngeal cancer. It is strongly recommended that the operators should fully understand and use it reasonably after the operation of laryngeal or hypopharyngeal cancer.

Abstract
PURPOSES The main purposes of this article are to describe an unprecedented phenomenon in which significant amount of a shoulder peak impurity was observed during normal non-reducing capillary electrophoresis-sodium dodecyl sulfate (CE-SDS) analysis of a recombinant fusion protein X, and to evaluate the root cause for this phenomenon. METHODS A series of experiments were conducted to study the nature of this degradation. Effects of iodoacetamide (IAM), heating temperature, duration, and SDS on the formation of this specific impurity were evaluated using a variety of characterization techniques. RESULTS The formation of the impurity as observed in CE-SDS was actually due to alkylation of lysine and serine residues with IAM, as confirmed by peptide mapping and LC-MS/MS, which increased the molecular weight and therefore decreased the electrophoretic mobility. The amount of impurity was also strongly dependent on sample preparation conditions including the presence or absence of SDS. CONCLUSIONS Our study clearly suggested that even though IAM has been used extensively as an alkylation reagent in the traditional non-reducing CE-SDS analysis of monoclonal antibodies and other proteins, alkylation with IAM could potentially lead to additional impurity peak, and therefore complicating analysis. Therefore, before performing CE-SDS and other analyses, the effects of sample preparation procedures on analytical results must be evaluated. For protein X, IAM should be excluded for CE-SDS analysis.

Abstract
Oxylipins are a series of bioactive lipid metabolites derived from polyunsaturated fatty acids that are involved in cerebral homeostasis and the development of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). However, comprehensive quantification of the oxylipin profile in ICH remains unknown. Therefore, an ICH mouse model was constructed and liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry was then performed to quantify the change in oxylipins in ICH. The expression of the oxylipin relative enzymes was also reanalyzed based on RNA-seq data from our constructed ICH dataset. A total of 58 oxylipins were quantifiable and the levels of 17 oxylipins increased while none decreased significantly in the first 3 days following ICH. The most commonly increased oxylipins in ICH were derived from AA (10/17) and EPA (4/17) followed by LA (2/17) and DHA (1/17). 18-HEPE from EPA was the only oxylipin that remained significantly increased from 0.5 to 3 days following ICH. Furthermore, 14 of the increased oxylipins reached a peak level on the first day of ICH, and soon decreased while five oxylipins (PGJ2, 15-oxo-ETE, 12-HEPE, 18-HEPE, and 5-oxo-ETE) had increased 3 days after ICH suggesting that the profile shifted with the progression of ICH. In our constructed RNA-seq dataset based on ICH rats, 90 oxylipin relative molecules were detected except for COX. Among these, Cyp4f18, Cyp1b1, Cyp2d3, Cyp2e1, Cyp1a1, ALOX5AP, and PLA2g4a were found up-regulated and Cyp26b1 was found to decrease in ICH. In addition, there was no significant change in sEH in ICH. This study provides fundamental data on the profile of oxylipins and their enzymes in ICH. We found that the profile shifted as the progression of ICH and the metabolism of arachidonic acid and eicosapentaenoic acid was highly affected in ICH, which will help further studies explore the functions of oxylipins in ICH.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the characteristics of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in alpha-fetoprotein (AFP)-negative recurrent small hepatocellular carcinoma (rsHCC). Methods: The imaging characteristics of CEUS were retrospectively analyzed in 132 lesions from 116 patients with rsHCC, including 59 lesions from 51 AFP-negative patients and 73 lesions from 65 AFP-positive patients. The hemodynamic parameters such as contrast-enhanced onset time, time-to-peak, isoenhancement start time, low-enhancement start time, and perfusion mode were compared between two groups. Results: The time-to-peak, isoenhancement start time, low-enhancement start time of AFP-negative group were significantly increased than those in AFP-positive group (23.22±5.08)s vs. (20.30±3.41)s, (59.44±39.75)s vs. (40.75±16.16)s, (102.89±44.45)s vs. (87.08±25.27)s (all of P<0.05). Meanwhile, the proportion of isoenhancement during the portal and late phases in AFP-negative group was significantly higher than those in AFP-positive group (59.3% vs. 37.0%, 16.9% vs. 4.1%; all of P<0.05). However, there was no significant difference between the two groups in the enhancement start time (14.87±6.00)s vs. (14.35±5.30)s (P>0.05) as well as isoenhancement proportion in the arterial phase (94.9% vs. 98.6%, P>0.05). Conclusions: The enhancement pattern of CEUS in AFP-negative rsHCC patients was "fast-in and slow-out" with a diverse and atypical trend. Recognizing its regular features will facilitate the early detection of AFP-negative rsHCC.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the effect of ultrasound contrast agent targeting gelatin on uptake of high lymphatic metastasis cell lines of mouse hepatocellular carcinoma with peritoneal effusion. Methods: The modified double emulsifying solvent evaporation method was used to construct the macromolecule contrast agent PLGA-Cooh. The carbodiimide was used to connect the monoclonal antibody of gelatin with the contrast agent PLGA-Cooh, and the targeted ultrasound contrast agent Gsn-PLGA was established. The particle size and Zeta potential of the targeted ultrasound contrast agent were measured by laser particle size analyzer. The surface binding of the contrast agent to the gelatin monoclonal antibody was evaluated by immunofluorescence. Hca-F cells with high lymphatic metastasis were cultured in mice with peritoneal effusion hepatocellular carcinoma. Target-seeking ability in vitro was evaluated by in vitro uptake test, and the imaging effect of the contrast agent in vitro was evaluated by in vitro developing test. Results: The contrast agent is white powder with good water solubility. The average particle size and surface potential were (569.68±6.96) nm and (-10.95±2.43) mV, respectively. The fluorescent antibody binding rate of non-targeted and targeted ultrasound contrast agent labeled with DiI were 0.84% and 95.89%, respectively. The results showed that the targeted ultrasound contrast agent Gsn-PLGA had a better of developing effect in vitro. Hca-F cells with high expression of gelsolin protein had stronger uptake ability of targeted ultrasound contrast agent and stronger green fluorescence in vitro than those with low expression of gelsolin protein (P<0.05). Moreover, targeted ultrasound contrast agent Gsn-PLGA had stronger targeting to the gelsolin protein. The echo of the targeted ultrasound contrast agent Gsn-PLGA was uniform and fine, without attenuating echo of the back. Simultaneously, the development effect was more obvious with the increase of contrast agent concentration (P<0.05). Conclusion: Ultrasound contrast agent Gsn-PLGA targeting gelatin can bind Hca-F cells with high expression of gelatin and display a good imaging effect in vitro.

Abstract
RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) have been shown to be involved in posttranscriptional regulation, which plays an important role in the pathophysiology of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Peroxiredoxin 1 (Prdx1), an RBP, plays an important role in regulating inflammation and apoptosis. On the basis that inflammation and apoptosis may contribute to ICH-induced brain injury, in this study, we used ICH models coupled with in vitro experiments, to investigate the role and mechanism of Prdx1 in regulating inflammation and apoptosis by acting as an RBP after ICH. We first found that Prdx1 was significantly up-regulated in response to ICH-induced brain injury and was mainly expressed in astrocytes and microglia in ICH rat brains. After overexpressing Prdx1 by injecting adeno-associated virus (AAV) into the striatum of rats at 3 weeks, we constructed ICH models and found that Prdx1 overexpression markedly reduced inflammation and apoptosis after ICH. Furthermore, RNA immunoprecipitation combined with high-throughput sequencing (RIP-seq) in vitro revealed that Prdx1 affects the stability of inflammation- and apoptosis-related mRNA, resulting in the inhibition of inflammation and apoptosis. Finally, overexpression of Prdx1 significantly alleviated the symptoms and mortality of rats subjected to ICH. Our results show that Prdx1 reduces ICH-induced brain injury by targeting inflammation- and apoptosis-related mRNA stability. Prdx1 may be an improved therapeutic target for alleviating the brain injury caused by ICH.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Human blood plasma is a complex that communicates with most parts of the body and reflects the changes in the state of an organism. Identifying age-related biomarkers can help predict and monitor age-related physiological decline and diseases and identify new treatments for diseases. METHODS AND PARTICIPANTS In this study, TMT-LC-MS/MS was utilized to screen differentially expressed plasma proteins in 118 healthy adults of different ages. Participants were divided into three groups: 21-30 years of age (Young), 41-50 years of age (Middle) and ≥60 years of age (Old). RESULTS The number of differentially expressed proteins in the comparisons of Young vs Middle, Middle vs Old and Young vs Old were 82, 22 and 99, respectively. These proteins were involved in numerous physiological processes, such as "negative regulation of smooth muscle cell proliferation" and "blood coagulation". Moreover, when Young was compared with Middle or Old, "complement and coagulation cascades" was the top enriched pathway by KEGG pathway enrichment analysis. Functional phenotyping of the proteome demonstrated that the plasma proteomic profiles of young adults were strikingly dissimilar to those of the middle-aged or older adults. CONCLUSIONS The results of this study mapped the variation in the expression of plasma proteins and provided information about possible biomarkers/treatments for different age-related functional disorders.

Abstract
目的 探讨miR-223在套细胞淋巴瘤(MCL)患者中的表达及预后意义,并探讨可能的作用机制。 方法 以21例骨髓受累初治MCL患者为研究对象,以20例健康正常供者为正常对照,采用RQ-PCR法检测miR-223、SOX11 mRNA表达水平。构建过表达miR-223的MCL细胞系Granta519细胞,采用CCK8法和流式细胞术检测其增殖、周期和凋亡水平,采用Western blot法检测其SOX11蛋白表达水平,并利用双荧光素酶报告基因实验验证miR-223的靶基因。 结果 ①21例MCL患者中,男15例,女6例,中位年龄58(37~72)岁,其中17例为中高危组。与正常对照组比较,MCL组患者miR-223表达水平显著下调(1 244.1±1 935.2对14.7±10.5,P<0.001),且其低表达与MCL的IPI评分高危组(P=0.001)、LDH升高(P=0.001)、ECOG评分≥2分(P=0.035)等高危临床特征相关。②以患者组miR-223中位表达水平为阈值,将患者分为高表达组(10例)和低表达组(11例),生存分析结果显示前者的总生存时间较后者延长(36个月对12个月,P=0.021)。③体外实验结果显示,与对照组比较,过表达miR-223的Granta519细胞增殖受抑(96 h时最明显,P<0.001)、处于G2/M期的细胞明显减少(P<0.001)、细胞凋亡比例增加(P<0.001);Granta519细胞的SOX11蛋白表达水平较对照组明显降低。④miR-223可抑制SOX11的3′非翻译区;MCL患者的miR-223与SOX11 mRNA表达水平呈明显负相关(r=−0.81,P<0.001)。 结论 miR-223在MCL患者中低表达,且与不良预后相关,机制上可能通过靶向SOX11而发挥作用。

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the association between hemoptysis and disease severity and risks of acute exacerbations in patients with bronchiectasis. Methods: Between September 2012 and January 2014, we recruited 148 patients (56 males, 92 females, mean age: 44.6 years) with clinically stable bronchiectasis, who were classified into hemoptysis group (36 males, 70 females, mean age: 45.6 years) and non-hemoptysis group (20 males, 22 females, mean age: 41.8 years). We inquired the past history, and evaluated chest imaging characteristics, lung function, cough sensitivity assessed using capsaicin cough challenge tests, and airway inflammation. We also performed a 1-year follow-up to evaluate whether patients with hemoptysis would have greater risk of having acute exacerbations. Results: In the hemoptysis group, median 24-hour sputum volume was 20.0 ml, median Bronchiectasis Severity Index (BSI) was 7.0, median bronchiectatic lobes was 4.0, median chest CT score was 7.0, the geometric mean for eliciting 5 coughs following capsaicin cough sensitivity (C5) was 77 μmol/L, 67 cases (63%) had cystic bronchiectasis and 52 cases (49%) had pulmonary cavity shown on chest CT, and 35 cases (33%) had Pseudomonas aeruginosa colonization. In the non-hemoptysis group, median 24-hour sputum volume was 5.0 ml, median BSI was 4.0, median bronchiectatic lobes was 3.0, median chest CT score was 5.0, 15 cases (36%) had cystic bronchiectasis and 10 cases (24%) had pulmonary cavity, the geometric mean for C5 was 212 μmol/L, and 4 cases (10%) had Pseudomonas aeruginosa colonization. All the above parameters differed significantly between the hemoptysis and the non-hemoptysis group (P<0.05). In the hemoptysis group, 29 patients with pulmonary cavity (27%) had reported the use of intravenous antibiotics, and 44 cases (42%) had at least one hospitalization within the previous 2 years. In the non-hemoptysis group, 8 cases (19.0%) had reported the use of intravenous antibiotics, and 8 cases (19.0%) reported hospitalization within 2 years. A prior history of hemoptysis was associated with a greater risk of experiencing bronchiectasis exacerbations during follow-up, after adjusting for age, sex, smoking status and BSI (62 cases in the hemoptysis group, 18 cases in the non-hemoptysis group, χ(2)=16.06, P=0.03). In a multivariate model, cystic bronchiectasis was the sole risk factor for hemoptysis; 67 cases which accounted for 63% of patients in the hemoptysis group and 15 cases which accounted for 36% of patients in the non-hemoptysis group, odds ratio: 2.84, 95% confidence interval: 1.00-8.14, P=0.05 . Conclusions: In this study, 72% of bronchiectasis patients had experienced hemoptysis, which was associated with the severity of bronchiectasis. Patients with a prior history of hemoptysis had a greater risk of acute exacerbations during follow-up than those without.

Abstract
Nowadays, the silver is widely used in the biological field and its biological safety catches great attention. It is important to know the distribution of silver ions within the biological organism and the toxic threshold concentration in the tissue. Therefore, a highly sensitive method for measurement of trace amount of silver ion in the medical biological samples is needed. With its high sensitivity for detection of metal ions, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) method is well suited for quantification of trace amount of silver ion in such samples, but method development is still in its infancy. Consequently, a simple and convenient method for determination of trace amount of silver in the animal serum, tissues or organs was developed, in which the samples were subjected to the microwave digestion, followed by the ICP-MS analysis. To begin with, the samples of serum, muscle, bone marrow, bone, heart, liver, spleen, and kidney were sequently processed in 5 mL of HNO3 and 2 mL of H2O2 solution. Then the samples were completely digested by microwave with the power of 2 000 watts. The temperature was raised gradually by 3-step program. Moreover, the data achieved were reproducible and the method was time saving and especially for large amounts of sample processing. Then the digested solutions were diluted to constant volume. Finally, the concentration of 107Ag in the samples was analyzed by the method of ICP-MS under the optimized conditions. Element yttrium (Y) was used as the internal standard to compensate for matrix suppression effect and improve the accuracy of measurement. For one thing, the analytical results showed that the detection limit of the trace element 107Ag was 0.98 μg · kg(-1), and furthermore, the correlation coefficient of standard curve was 0.999 9. For another thing, the recovery rate of the silver element ranged from 98% to 107%, which was calculated according to measured quantity before adding standard, adding standard and measured quantity after adding standard. At the same time, the relative standard deviation (RSD) of the method was in the range of 2.0%-4.3%. The concentrations of element silver in animal serum, tissues and organs were determined by the aboved method. The obtained results showed that silver ions were mainly accumulated in the liver after they were intaken into the body. The results suggested that the microwave digestion-ICP-MS method could accurately determine the trace element Ag in the body. The method developed has good feasibility and is suitable for the determination of trace element Ag in various types of medical and biological samples, especially for large quantities of biological samples. The process has the advantages of easysample processing and it is simple and convenient. In addition, the accurate results could be obtained in a short time with high sensitivity. Last but not least, the method provides the guidance for the determination of trace elements in other biological samples.

Abstract
Polycrystalline samples of Ca1−xGdxMnO3−δ (x = 0.00, 0.02, and 0.05) have been studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), electrical resistivity (ρ), thermoelectric power (S), and thermal conductivity (κ). All the samples were single phase with an orthorhombic structure. The Seebeck coefficient of all the samples was negative, indicating that the predominant carriers are electrons over the entire temperature range. The iodometric titration measurements indicate that the electrical resistivity of Ca1−xGdxMnO3−δ correlated well with the average valence of Mnv+ and oxygen deficiency. Among the doped samples, Ca0.98Gd0.02MnO3−δ had the highest dimensionless figure of merit 0.018 at 300 K, representing an improvement of about 125% with respect to the undoped GaMnO3−δ sample at the same temperature.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Genetic polymorphisms of the μ-opioid receptor gene OPRM1 A118G have been shown to influence opioid efficacy. The association of the OPRM1 A118G genetic polymorphism with side effects, such as nausea and vomiting, caused by opioids during analgesia has not been well-represented by the literature . This study aimed to investigate whether the genetic polymorphism of OPRM1 A118G contributed to the variability in nausea and vomiting during fentanyl analgesia in patients undergoing total abdominal hysterectomy or myomectomy. METHODS One hundred sixty-five women, of Han nationality, aged 20-50 yrs, of ASA I or II, and scheduled for elective total abdominal hysterectomy or myomectomy under general anesthesia were enrolled. Intravenous fentanyl, patient-controlled analgesia was provided postoperatively for pain control. The presence and scores of postoperative nausea and vomiting for 24 hours were recorded and measured using rating scales. Pain was measured with a visual analog scale, and fentanyl consumption over 24 hours was recorded, as well. Genotyping of the A118G allele was conducted by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP), and patients were divided into three groups according to their genotype. RESULTS The frequency of the A118G allele was 32.4% for the patients in this study. Patients homozygous for 118G required more fentanyl to achieve adequate pain relief compared with the other two patient groups (patients homozygous for 118A and heterozygous). However, there were no statistically significant differences among the frequencies and scores of nausea and vomiting. CONCLUSION OPRM1 A118G has no effect on the individual variation of postoperative nausea and vomiting, the side effects of fentanyl analgesia, in Chinese women undergoing gynecologic surgery.

Abstract
In natural settings, the occurrence of unpredictable infrequent events is often associated with emotional reactions in the brain. Previous research suggested a special sensitivity of the brain to valence differences in emotionally negative stimuli. Thus, the present study hypothesizes that valence changes in infrequent negative stimuli would have differential effects on visual novelty processing. Event-related potentials (ERPs) were recorded for highly negative (HN), moderately negative (MN) and Neutral infrequent stimuli, and for the frequent standard stimulus while subjects performed a frequent/infrequent categorization task, irrespective of the emotional valence of the infrequent stimuli. The infrequent-frequent difference waves, which index visual novelty processing, displayed larger N2 amplitudes during HN condition than during MN condition which, in turn, elicited greater N2 amplitude than the Neutral condition. Similarly, in the infrequent-frequent difference waves, the frontocentral P3a and parietal LPC (late positive complex) elicited by the HN condition were more negative than those by MN stimuli, which elicited more negative amplitudes than the Neutral condition. This suggests that negative emotions of diverse strength, as induced by negative stimuli of varying valences, are clearly different in their impact on visual novelty processing. Novel stimuli of increased negativity elicited more attentional resources during the early novelty detection, and recruited increased inhibitive and evaluative processing during the later stages of response decision and reaction readiness, relative to novel stimuli of reduced negativity.

Abstract
Intravesical bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) has been shown in prospective randomized clinical trials to be the treatment of choice for superficial bladder cancer. In this investigation we evaluated the role of CD4 and CD8 lymphocytes in the antitumor response. Monoclonal antibodies to thy 1.2, CD8, CD4 and an isotype control were injected intravenously to deplete T cell populations. After depletion (verified by flow cytometry), BCG therapy was initiated. The results demonstrate that the depletion of either CD4 or CD8 T cell subsets eliminated BCG-mediated antitumor activity. Footpad delayed type hypersensitivity (DTH) was aborted only in CD4 depleted mice; it was essentially unchanged in CD8 depleted mice. However, the presence of DTH was not sufficient for induction of BCG-mediated antitumor activity. Exogenous IL-2 at levels sufficient to induce lymphokine activated killer cell activity did not substitute for CD4 cells. There was no evidence for the induction of protective immunity to the tumor after BCG therapy. These results demonstrate the requirement for T lymphocytes in BCG-mediated antitumor activity and further demonstrate that the presence of both CD4 and CD8 subsets are required. CD8 depletion experiments suggest that the presence of CD4-mediated DTH is not sufficient for the induction of antitumor activity. Furthermore, these data suggest that BCG-mediated antitumor activity is a localized phenomenon that does not induce protective immunity.

Abstract
Measurement of serum prostate specific antigen (PSA) is commonly used to evaluate the prostate gland in a variety of clinical settings. We examined the effects of prostatic manipulations, including digital rectal examination, prostate massage, transrectal ultrasonography and transrectal needle biopsy, on serum PSA levels in 199 men. We detected no clinically significant difference between serum PSA levels obtained immediately before and at 5 or 90 minutes after rectal examination in 43 men. We observed falsely increased PSA levels (to greater than 4 ng./ml., Tandem-R) in 1 of 17 men (6%) following prostatic massage and in 3 of 27 men (11%) following ultrasonography. Transrectal needle biopsy caused an immediate increase in serum PSA in 92 of 100 men. In 29 of these 92 men (32%) when followed weekly serum PSA levels did not return to baseline as expected according to the published serum PSA half-life of 2 to 3 days. Biopsies taking 3 or fewer cores (7 patients) resulted in a smaller increase in serum PSA (mean 1.63 +/- 1.12 times the baseline level versus 6.24 +/- 1.10 times baseline, p less than 0.03) and a proportionally shorter duration of PSA elevation (mean 1.43 +/- 0.48 weeks versus 2.13 +/- 0.14 weeks, p = 0.20) than those taking 4 or more cores (93 patients). Prostate size and the presence of cancer had no influence on the duration of PSA elevation following biopsy. We conclude that digital rectal examination, prostatic massage and ultrasonography have minimal effects on serum PSA levels in most patients. However, prostatic needle biopsy usually causes marked elevations of serum PSA levels with a persistent PSA leak into the blood stream lasting longer than expected from the serum half-life of PSA in approximately 25% of the patients.

Abstract
Multiple directed and systematic ultrasound guided biopsies of the prostate were performed in 73 men with the clinical diagnosis of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Seven men (10%) had prostate cancer. Of the 67 patients with benign biopsies 40 underwent subsequent transurethral prostatectomy and 2 (5%) had prostate cancer. Multiple directed and systematic biopsies of the prostate detected 78% of the nonpalpable prostate cancers diagnosed in the study population. Radical prostatectomy was performed in all 9 men with prostate cancer: there were 3 small organ-confined tumors, 5 large organ-confined tumors and 1 stage C tumor with 1 focus of microscopic capsular penetration. Our results suggest that multiple directed and systematic ultrasound guided biopsies are capable of detecting low volume nonpalpable prostate cancer in men with BPH. However, the exact indication for pre-treatment ultrasound guided biopsy of the prostate in men with symptomatic BPH remains unclear. It may be that use of this modality is most appropriate for patients undergoing pharmacological therapy or balloon dilation of BPH rather than for those undergoing transurethral prostatectomy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is secreted exclusively by prostatic epithelial cells, and its serum concentration is increased in men with prostatic disease, including cancer. We evaluated its usefulness in the detection and staging of prostate cancer. METHODS We measured serum PSA concentrations in 1653 healthy men 50 or more years old. Those with PSA values greater than or equal to 4.0 micrograms per liter then underwent rectal examination and prostatic ultrasonography. Ultrasound-directed prostatic needle biopsies were performed in the men with abnormal findings on rectal examination, ultrasonography, or both. The results were compared with those in 300 consecutively studied men 50 or more years old who underwent ultrasound-directed biopsy because of symptoms or abnormal findings on rectal examination. RESULTS Serum PSA levels ranged from 4.0 to 9.9 micrograms per liter in 6.5 percent of the 1653 men (107). Nineteen of the 85 men in this group (22 percent) who had prostatic biopsies had prostate cancer. Serum PSA levels were 10.0 micrograms per liter or higher in 1.8 percent of the 1653 men (30). Eighteen of the 27 men in this group (67 percent) who had prostatic biopsies had cancer. If rectal examination alone had been used to screen the men who had biopsies, 12 of the 37 cancers (32 percent) would have been missed. If ultrasonography alone had been used to screen these men, 16 of the 37 cancers (43 percent) would have been missed. Serum PSA measurement had the lowest error rate of the tests, and PSA measurement plus rectal examination had the lowest error rate of the two-test combinations. CONCLUSIONS The combination of measurement of the serum PSA concentration and rectal examination, with ultrasonography performed in patients with abnormal findings, provides a better method of detecting prostate cancer than rectal examination alone.

Abstract
Although intravesical bacillus Calmette-Guerin therapy has proved to be efficacious in the treatment and prophylaxis against tumor recurrence of superficial bladder tumors, its mechanism of action has not been fully elucidated. Previous work has suggested that bacillus Calmette-Guerin organisms attach to the matrix protein, fibronectin, during fibrin clot formation at sites of urothelial disruption and that this attachment was required for the antitumor effect of bacillus Calmette-Guerin to be expressed. Furthermore, drugs inhibiting clot formation were found to abrogate the antitumor effect of intravesical bacillus Calmette-Guerin therapy in a murine bladder tumor model. To examine the effect of inhibitors of fibrin clot formation on the results of intravesical bacillus Calmette-Guerin therapy, a retrospective analysis of 149 evaluable patients receiving intravesical bacillus Calmette-Guerin for superficial bladder tumors was performed. The over-all response rate free of tumor for 29 patients who concomitantly received inhibitors of fibrin clot formation with bacillus Calmette-Guerin therapy was 48%, as compared with 67% for 120 patients who were not receiving these medications (p = 0.0655, chi-square). The most striking difference was noted for patients who failed with recurrent superficial disease. Of the patients who received fibrin clot inhibitors during intravesical bacillus Calmette-Guerin therapy 35% had recurrent superficial tumors compared to only 8% of those who did not receive these drugs during a mean followup of 29.8 plus or minus 11 months (p = 0.005, chi-square). Our study suggests that inhibitors of fibrin clot formation may have an adverse influence on the results of intravesical bacillus Calmette-Guerin therapy for superficial bladder tumors.

Abstract
Severe hemorrhage from cyclophosphamide-induced cystitis sometimes requires aggressive open management when conventional endoscopic and intravesical therapies have failed. We present 2 patients with intractable hematuria who were managed by open cystotomy, temporary urinary diversion via external ureteral stents, and continuous postoperative bladder packing with gauze and hemostatic agents. Both patients had a dramatic improvement in the hematuria immediately postoperatively and 1 with prolonged followup has no urological disability. We suggest that this procedure be considered for management of severe hemorrhagic cystitis as an alternative to more aggressive surgical therapies, such as formal urinary diversion with cystectomy.
