Abstract
OBJECTIVES To explore the relationship between Fuhrman grade of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and the DDD score. METHODS We reviewed the records of 527 nonmetastatic RCC patients. Demographic, clinical, and pathologic characteristics were reviewed. Binary logistic regression was used to explore the independent risk factors for high-grade RCC (HGRCC). RESULTS Sex, BMI (Body Mass Index), RNS, and DDD score were significantly correlated with HGRCC. Based on these independent risk factors, we constructed two predictive models integrating the RNS and DDD scores with sex and BMI to predict tumor grade. The calibration curves of the predictive model showed good agreement between the observations and predictions. The concordance indexes (C-indexes) of the predictive models were 0.768 (95% CI, 0.713-0.824), and 0.809 (95% CI, 0.759-0.859). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were performed to compare the predictive power of the nomograms, and the prediction model including the DDD score had better prognostic ability (p = 0.01). CONCLUSIONS This study found that RNS, DDD score, BMI, and sex were independent predictors of HGRCC. We developed effective nomograms integrating the above risk factors to predict HGRCC. Of note, the nomogram including the DDD score achieves better prediction ability for HGRCC.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the incidence and the risk factors of post-polypectomy bleeding and polyp recurrence after colonoscopic high-frequency electrocoagulation snare polypectomy. Methods: Clinical data of 1 826 children who underwent colonoscopic high-frequency electrocoagulation snare polypectomy in the Children's Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine from January 2009 to December 2020 was retrospectively analyzed. Demographic characteristics, endoscopic manifestations, pathological features, diagnosis, occurrence of post-polypectomy bleeding and polyp recurrence were collected. The associated risk factors were analyzed by Logistic regression. Results: A total of 1 826 children (1 191 males and 635 females) with 1 967 polypectomies were included. The age was 4.6 (3.2, 6.4) years at initial diagnosis. According to the initial colonoscopy, 1 611 children (88.2%) had solitary polyps, 1 707 children (93.5%) had pedicled polyps, 1 151 children (63.0%) had polyps involving the rectum, and 1 757 children (96.2%) had hamartomatous polyps. Polyposis syndromes were diagnosed in 73 children (4.0%). The post-polypectomy bleeding occurrence was 3.8% (75/1 967). Polyps recurred in 88 children (4.8%). Girls (OR=2.01, 95%CI 1.26-3.23) and sessile polyps (OR=2.28, 95%CI 1.15-4.49) were risk factors for post-polypectomy bleeding (both P<0.05). Multiple polyps (OR=17.49, 95%CI 9.82-31.18), right-colon involvement (OR=3.44, 95%CI 1.89-6.26) and non-hamartoma (OR=2.51, 95%CI 1.04-6.07) were risk factors for polyp recurrence (all P<0.05). Conclusions: Colonoscopic high-frequency electrocoagulation snare polypectomy has low incidence of post-polypectomy bleeding and polyp recurrence. Female patients and sessile polyps have higher risk for post-polypectomy bleeding. Multiple polyps, right-colon involvement and non-hamartoma polyps increase the risk for polyp recurrence.

Abstract
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is highly prevalent among older men, impacting on their quality of life, sexual function, and genitourinary health, and has become an important global burden of disease. Transurethral plasmakinetic resection of prostate (TUPKP) is one of the foremost surgical procedures for the treatment of BPH. It has become well established in clinical practice with good efficacy and safety. In 2018, we issued the guideline "2018 Standard Edition". However much new direct evidence has now emerged and this may change some of previous recommendations. The time is ripe to develop new evidence-based guidelines, so we formed a working group of clinical experts and methodologists. The steering group members posed 31 questions relevant to the management of TUPKP for BPH covering the following areas: questions relevant to the perioperative period (preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative) of TUPKP in the treatment of BPH, postoperative complications and the level of surgeons' surgical skill. We searched the literature for direct evidence on the management of TUPKP for BPH, and assessed its certainty generated recommendations using the grade criteria by the European Association of Urology. Recommendations were either strong or weak, or in the form of an ungraded consensus-based statement. Finally, we issued 36 statements. Among them, 23 carried strong recommendations, and 13 carried weak recommendations for the stated procedure. They covered questions relevant to the aforementioned three areas. The preoperative period for TUPKP in the treatment of BPH included indications and contraindications for TUPKP, precautions for preoperative preparation in patients with renal impairment and urinary tract infection due to urinary retention, and preoperative prophylactic use of antibiotics. Questions relevant to the intraoperative period incorporated surgical operation techniques and prevention and management of bladder explosion. The application to different populations incorporating the efficacy and safety of TUPKP in the treatment of normal volume (< 80 ml) and large-volume (≥ 80 ml) BPH compared with transurethral urethral resection prostate, transurethral plasmakinetic enucleation of prostate and open prostatectomy; the efficacy and safety of TUPKP in high-risk populations and among people taking anticoagulant (antithrombotic) drugs. Questions relevant to the postoperative period incorporated the time and speed of flushing, the time indwelling catheters are needed, principles of postoperative therapeutic use of antibiotics, follow-up time and follow-up content. Questions related to complications incorporated types of complications and their incidence, postoperative leukocyturia, the treatment measures for the perforation and extravasation of the capsule, transurethral resection syndrome, postoperative bleeding, urinary catheter blockage, bladder spasm, overactive bladder, urinary incontinence, urethral stricture, rectal injury during surgery, postoperative erectile dysfunction and retrograde ejaculation. Final questions were related to surgeons' skills when performing TUPKP for the treatment of BPH. We hope these recommendations can help support healthcare workers caring for patients having TUPKP for the treatment of BPH.

Abstract
Bovine milk-derived extracellular vesicles (BM-EVs) are recognized as promising nanoscale delivery vectors owing to their large availability. However, few isolation methods can achieve high purity and yield simultaneously. Therefore, we developed a novel and cost-effective procedure to separate BM-EVs via "salting-out." First, BM-EVs were isolated from skimmed milk using ammonium sulfate. The majority of BM-EVs were precipitated between 30 and 40% saturation and 34% had a relatively augmented purity. The separated BM-EVs showed a spherical shape with a diameter of 60-150 nm and expressed the marker proteins CD63, TSG101, and Hsp70. The purity and yield were comparable to the BM-EVs isolated via ultracentrifugation while ExoQuick failed to separate a relatively pure fraction of BM-EVs. The uptake of BM-EVs into endothelial cells was dose- and time-dependent without significant cytotoxicity. The levels of endothelial nitric oxide syntheses were regulated by BM-EVs loaded with icariside II and miRNA-155-5p, suggesting their functions as delivery vehicles. These findings have demonstrated that it is an efficient procedure to isolate BM-EVs via "salting-out," holding great promise toward therapeutic applications.

Abstract
Purpose To perform a placebo-controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Serenoa repens extract (SRE) for the treatment of chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS). Methods We conducted a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, multicenter, clinical phase 4 study of 221 patients with CP/CPPS across 11 centers. Participants were randomly assigned in a 2:1 ratio to receive SRE or placebo for 12 weeks. The primary efficacy endpoint was the change in total score on the National Institutes of Health-Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index (NIH-CPSI). Secondary efficacy endpoints included improvements within each domain of NIH-CPSI, clinical response rate, and International Index of Erectile Function 5 items (IIEF-5). Results In total, 226 patients were enrolled and randomized between January 2017 and June 2018. Of these 221 patients were included in the intent-to-treat analysis: 148 in the SRE group and 73 patients in the placebo group. Compared to the placebo, SRE led to statistically significant improvements in the NIH-CPSI total score and sub-scores. The significant improvements of NIH-CPSI scores were established after 2 weeks from the first dose, and continued to the end of the treatment. Furthermore, a significantly higher rate of patients achieved a clinical response in the SRE group compared with that in the placebo group (73.0% vs 32.9%, P < 0.0001). Only minor adverse events were observed across the entire study population. Conclusions SRE was effective, safe, and clinically superior to placebo for the treatment of CP/CPPS.

Abstract
The clinical predictive factors for malignant testicular histology remain unclear because of the low prevalence. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate predictors of malignant histology for testicular masses and decide more testis-sparing surgeries before surgery. This retrospective study enrolled 325 consecutive testicular mass patients who underwent radical orchiectomy (310/325) or testicular preserving surgery (15/325) from January 2001 to June 2016. The clinicopathological factors, including tumor diameter, cryptorchidism history, ultrasound findings, serum alpha-fetoprotein, and human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) levels, were collected retrospectively for statistical analysis. A predictive nomogram was also generated to evaluate the quantitative probability. Among all patients, 247 (76.0%) were diagnosed with a malignant testicular tumor and 78 (24.0%) with benign histology. Larger tumor diameter (per cm increased, hazard ratio [HR] = 1.284, P = 0.036), lower ultrasound echo (HR = 3.191, P = 0.001), higher ultrasound blood flow (HR = 3.320, P < 0.001), and abnormal blood HCG (HR = 10.550, P < 0.001) were significant predictive factors for malignant disease in all testicular mass patients. The nomogram generated was well calibrated for all predictions of malignant probability, and the accuracy of the model nomogram measured by Harrell's C statistic (C-index) was 0.92. According to our data, the proportion of patients who underwent radical orchiectomy for benign tumors (24.0%) was much larger than generally believed (10.0%). Our results indicated that the diameter, ultrasonic echo, ultrasonic blood flow, and serum HCG levels could predict the malignancy in testicular mass patients.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effects of ticagrelor on cardiorespiratory fitness in patients with coronary heart disease after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods: A total of 1 073 patients, who were diagnosed as coronary heart disease and underwent cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) within 1 year after PCI, were enrolled from September 2017 to September 2019 in Peking University Third Hospital, including 309 patients in ticagrelor group and 764 patients in clopidogrel group. Clinical information, blood test results, echocardiographic parameters, cardiorespiratory fitness related parameters (including peak oxygen uptake (VO(2)), anaerobic threshold VO(2), peak oxygen pulse (VO(2)/HR) and carbon dioxide ventilation equivalent (VE/VCO(2)) slope), coronary lesions and intervention information were obtained. Cardiopulmonary fitness related indexes were compared between the two groups, and the correlation between ticagrelor use and cardiopulmonary fitness related indexes was analyzed by multivariate logistic regression. Patients who underwent CPET within 1 month after PCI were included in the subgroup analysis. Results: In ticagrelor group, the age was (60.3±10.3) years, and 253(81.9%) cases were male. The age of clopidogrel group was (60.6±10.0) years, and there were 608(79.6%) males. No significant differences were observed in peak VO(2), anaerobic threshold VO(2), and peak VO(2)/HR between the two groups (all P>0.05), but the VE/VCO(2) slope was significantly higher in the ticagrelor group than in the clopidogrel group (30.075 (27.207, 33.603) vs. 28.853 (25.970, 32.336), P<0.001). Logistic regression analysis suggested that the peak VO(2), anaerobic threshold VO(2) and peak VO(2)/HR were not significantly correlated with the ticagrelor use (all P>0.05), while the VE/VCO(2) slope was independently correlated with ticagrelor use (OR=1.098, 95%CI 1.032-1.168, P=0.003). Subgroup analysis of patients who underwent CPET within 1 month after PCI also indicated that no significant difference were observed in peak VO(2), anaerobic threshold VO(2), peak VO(2)/HR and VE/VCO(2) slope between the two groups (all P>0.05). Logistic regression analysis suggested that the peak VO(2), anaerobic threshold VO(2) and peak VO(2)/HR were not significantly correlated with ticagrelor use (all P>0.05), while the VE/VCO(2) slope was significantly correlated with ticagrelor use (OR=1.132, 95%CI 1.030-1.244, P=0.010). Conclusion: Among coronary heart disease patients after PCI, treatment with clopidogrel does not result in significant decrease in exercise endurance as compared with patients treated with ticagrelor.

Abstract
AIM To report the initial experiences with functional cine magnetic resonance urography (cine MRU) and assess its usefulness as a novel postoperative evaluation method of ileal ureter substitution. MATERIALS AND METHODS The medical records of 17 patients from who underwent cine MRU during June 2010 to December 2019 during their follow-up after ileal ureter substitution were collected. The cine MRU videos of reconstructive urinary tract were observed, and the luminal diameter, contraction ratio, peristaltic waves, and ureteral jets were measured. RESULTS Seventeen patients underwent cine MRU after ileal ureter substitution during their follow-up. Based on their cine MRU videos assessing the morphology and the peristaltic motility of the reconstructive urinary tract, there was resolution of preoperative hydronephrosis, which matched their ameliorative renal function. Clearly, peristaltic motility of the ileal graft was observed in 14 patients with obvious peristaltic waves and ureteral jets. CONCLUSION This study is the first to assess the clinical utility of functional cine MRU during the patient follow-up after ileal ureter substitution. Cine MRU is a radiation-free, non-invasive imaging method that can clearly show the morphology and the peristaltic motility of the ileal graft. Therefore, cine MRU, as a novel technique, will be extremely useful in the postoperative evaluation of patients after ileal ureter substitution.

Abstract
Summary Hamartomas are non-neoplastic overgrowth of mature/differentiated tissue indigenous to the specific part of the body in which they develop. Most hamartomas are located in the liver, spleen, lungs, and pancreas. However, external auditory canal hamartoma is rare. We describe here an 18-year-old man who presented with aural fullness. Computed tomography revealed an equal low density mass without bony erosion, pathological examination showed that the mass was an osseous hamartoma. Although osseous hamartoma in the external auditory canal is extremely rare, it should be kept in mind during differential diagnosis.

Abstract
We aimed to investigate the prognostic value of chromogranin A (CgA) in castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). We conducted a systematic literature search of PubMed, Web of Science, and EMBASE for citations published prior to September 2017 that described CgA and CRPC and performed a standard meta-analysis on survival outcomes. Our meta-analysis included eight eligible studies with 686 patients. The results were as follows: progression-free survival (PFS) was associated with CgA level (hazard ratio [HR] = 2.47, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.47-4.14, P = 0.0006); PFS was relative to CgA change (HR = 9.22, 95% CI: 3.03-28.05, P < 0.0001); and overall survival (OS) was relative to CgA level (HR = 1.47, 95% CI: 1.15-1.87, P = 0.002). When we divided the patients into two groups according to therapy status, the result for OS relative to CgA level was an HR of 1.26 (95% CI: 1.09-1.45, P = 0.001) in the first-line hormonal therapy group, and an HR of 2.33 (95% CI: 1.40-3.89, P = 0.001) in the second-line hormonal therapy or chemotherapy group. This meta-analysis indicated that a high CgA level had a negative influence on OS and PFS in CRPC patients. In addition, CRPC patients with a rising CgA had a shorter PFS. Further studies are needed to verify the prognostic value of CgA in CRPC.

Abstract
The theory on four seas is a kind of view to explain the longitudinal and horizontal distribution relationship of meridians and collaterals by ancient scholars. The authors were attempted to explore it by taking the theory on sea of marrow as example in terms of literature analysis. In Lingshu: Hailun (Chapter 33 of Miraculous Pivot), it is recorded that sea of marrow flows into two locations, but they are not the acupoint sites for treatment. Based on the comprehensive literature investigation, it is known that such two sites to which sea of marrow flows refer to a kind of boundaries so that the range of sea of marrow is determined, the function of it explored, and the controversy on "heart dominating mind" and "brain governing spirit" solved. It is defined that the function of sea of marrow is the macro-conception of shen (mind, spirit) that is modulated by vital movement information. Additionally, in association with meridian literature analysis, as well as acupoint textual research, it finally focuses on Naohu (GV 17) that is the critical point in the application of the theory on sea of marrow. In clinical application of such theory, the importance should be attached to the governor vessel, Naohu (GV 17) and their spatial system of bone.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of the totally extraperitoneal renal autotransplantation with boari flap-pelvis anastomosis in the treatment of upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC), and to review the experience of renal autotransplantation for UTUC treatment. METHODS One case of applying the totally extraperitoneal renal autotransplantation with boari flap-pelvis anastomosis to the UTUC treatment was reported, and related literature was reviewed. The patient was a sixty-four-year old man who received right radical nephroureterectomy for right ureteral carcinoma 1 year before and diagnosed as left ureteral carcinoma(G2, high grade) this time. In order to preserve his renal function and avoid the shortness of common kidney-sparing surgery, a totally extraperitoneal procedure, including retroperitoneoscopic nephrectomy, ureterectomy, renal autotransplantation and Boari flap-pelvis anastomosis, was performed to the patient. RESULTS The operation was completed successfully without perioperative complications. The renal function recovered to preoperative level within 1 week. No deterioration of renal function during the follow-up and no tumor recurrence was observed under cystoscopy at the 3-month postoperative consult. CONCLUSION The totally extraperitoneal renal autotransplantation with Boari flap-pelvis anastomosis is a feasible and effective treatment for UTUC. The innovative procedure has several advantages compared to the former ones. The extraperitoneal procedure results in significantly less pain, shorter hospital stay, decreased overall time to recovery and lower bowel complications risk without warm ischemia time extension. Meanwhile, the Boari flap-pelvis anastomosis simplifies the follow -up protocols and creates an easy route for cystoscopy and topical therapy. From the systematic clinical analysis, as well as the related literature review, it's been concluded that the renal autotransplantation can be a reasonable option for the patients who have UTUC in solitary kidney or have bilateral UTUC. This type of treatment possesses advantages of preservation of renal function and total resection of malignant lesions. But long-term data and large cohort study on renal function or tumor recurrence are still absent which will be necessary to confirm the advantages of this approach.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the clinicopathologic features and potential prognostic predictors of locally recurrent renal cell carcinoma patients after initial surgery. METHODS Authors retrospectively analyzed data extracted from 81 patients who were treated for postoperative locally recurrence of renal cell carcinoma from January 2006 to June 2016 in the Department of Urology, Peking University First Hospital. Postoperative locally recurrence of renal cell carcinoma was defined as disease recurring in the remnant kidney, renal fossa, adjacent abdomen, ipsilateral adrenal and retroperitoneal lymph nodes. RESULTS In the study, 81 patients were finally included, of whom 43 were initially treated in our hospital and 38 were initially treat in other centers. Partial nephrectomy (PN) was performed for 38 cases (26 in our hospital and 12 in other hospitals) as initial treatment and radical nephrectomy (RN) was conducted for the remnant 43 cases (17 in our hospital and 26 in other hospitals). Overall median recurrence time was 26 months (range: 3-164 months), in which 26 months (range: 3-55 months) for PN cases and 30 months (range: 4-164 months) for RN cases (P=0.009). Sixty-nine patients had single site recurrence, including remnant kidney (n=29), renal fossa (n=20), abdomen (n=4), ipsilateral lymph nodes (n=5), ipsilateral adrenal (n=11), while 12 patients had multiple sites recurrence. Seventy-eight patients were managed by complete surgical resection, while three patients were managed by radiofrequency ablation. Postoperative pathological diagnoses included clear cell carcinoma (n=72), papillary renal cell carcinoma (n=8, 7 cases with type 1, 1 case with type 2) and Xp11 translocation/TFE3 gene fusion renal cell carcinoma (n=1). Complete pathologic information of the initial surgery could be extracted from 43 patients who were initially treated in our hospital. Seventeen patients with initial radical nephrectomy were staged as T1a (n=4), T1b (n=2), T2a (n=1), T3a (n=8), and T3b (n=2). Twenty-six patients with initial partial nephrectomy were staged as T1a (n=18), T1b (n=7), and T3a (n=1). For PN cohort, the patients with T1a stage disease had longer median recurrence time than those with beyond T1a stage disease, and the difference was significant (29 months vs. 18 months, P=0.041). At the end of the follow-up, 58 patients were alive, 4 died and 19 lost the follow-up. Overall, 3-year and 5-year disease free survival rates were 81.9%, and 53.6%, respectively. CONCLUSION The present research reported a large-scale single central experience of locally recurrent renal cell carcinoma. The recurrence time of the PN group is shorter than that of the RN group. For patients after PN surgery, median recurrence time is longer for patients with T1a stage tumor when compared with those with stage beyond T1a. Patients can obtain relative long-term survival after complete secondary surgery resection.

Abstract
Ureteral injury can be classified as iatrogenic or traumatic, which represents a rare but challenging field of reconstructive urology. Due to their close proximity to vital abdominal and pelvic organs, the ureters are highly susceptible to iatrogenic injury, while ureteral injury caused by external trauma is relatively rare. The signs of ureteric injury are difficult to identify initially and often present after a delay. The treatment of ureteral injury, which is depended on the type, location, and degree of injury, the time of diagnosis and the patient's overall clinical condition, ranges from simple endoscopic management to complex surgical reconstruction. And long defect of the ureter presents much greater challenges to urologists. Ureterotomy under endoscopy using laser or cold-knife is available for the treatment of 2-3 cm benign ureteral injuries or strictures. Pyeloplasty is an effective treatment for ureteropelvic junction obstruction and some improved methods showed the possibility of repairing long-segment (10-15 cm) stenosis. Proximal and mid-ureteral injuries or strictures of 2-3 cm long can often be managed by primary ureteroureterostomy. When not feasible due to ureteral defects of longer segment, mobilization of the kidney should be considered, and transureteroureterostomy is alternative if the proximal ureter is of sufficient length. And autotransplantation or nephrectomy is regarded as the last resorts. Most of the injuries or strictures are observed in the distal ureter, below the pelvic brim, and are usually treated with ureteroneocystostomy. A non-refluxing technique together with a ureteral nipple or submucosal tunnel method, is preferable as it minimizes vesico-ureteral reflux and the risk of infection. In order to cover a longer distance, ureteroneocystostomy in combination with a psoas hitch (covering 6-10 cm of defect) or a Boari flap (covering 12-15 cm) is often adopted. Among various ureteral replacement procedures, only intestinal ureteral substitution, which includes ileal ureter, appendiceal interposition and reconfigured colon substitution, has gained wide acceptance when urothelial tissue is insufficient. Ileal ureter can be used to replace the ureter of >15 cm defect and even to replace the entire unbilateral ureter or bilateral ureter. Laparoscopic and robotic-assisted techniques are increasingly being employed for ureteral reconstruction and adopted with encouraging results.

Abstract
Purpose: Radical surgery is the preferred method for local high-risk and limited progressive prostate cancer in the routine clinical setting. However, current guidelines do not recommend neoadjuvant hormone therapy (NHT). Opinions regarding NHT vary among individual clinicians. According to the experience gained at our center, we explored the benefits of NHT for patients with prostate cancer during the perioperative period in this study. Methods: In this retrospective study, we explored the perioperative benefits of NHT among 189 patients with local high-risk or limited progressive prostate cancer who underwent radical prostatectomy and divided them into two groups: the NHT group and the non-NHT group. The NHT regimens were a gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist alone (3.75/11.25 mg of leuprolide or 3.6/10.8 mg of goserelin acetate), an androgen receptor antagonist (ARA) alone, or a combination of the two. The duration of treatment was <3 months, 3 to 6 months, or >6 months. Results: We found that NHT could reduce the surgery time and intraoperative hemorrhage, thus reducing the difficulty of surgery; NHT could also improve the postoperative recovery of patients. However, it did not reduce the stage of prostate cancer or positive surgical margin rate. Conclusions: Neoadjuvant therapy is optional for some patients. We believe that NHT will improve the overall prognosis of patients as progress continues in the medical field in the future.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the clinical features and complications of foreign bodies in the upper gastrointestinal tract in children and to investigate the effectiveness of endoscopic management. Methods: Data of patients with foreign bodies in upper gastrointestinal tract were collected retrospectively at Endoscopy Center, the Children's Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, from January 2011 to December 2016. Clinical characteristics, the types of foreign bodies, the location and duration of foreign body impaction were summarized. The risk factors of complications and endoscopic removal failure were analyzed by using Logistic regression analysis. Results: A total of 1 334 patients (825 males and 509 females) were enrolled. The median age was 2.5 years, with a range from 0.25 to 15 years and peak age 1-3 years. Twenty patients had esophageal diseases. The most common foreign body ingested was coin (n=964, 72.3%). Foreign bodies were most commonly located in the esophagus (n=1 002, 75.1%), especially in the upper esophagus (n=857, 85.5%). The duration of foreign body impaction ranged from 3 hours to 5 years. Among 1 334 patients, 252 patients (18.9%) developed complications, including ulcers (n=101, 40.0%) and perforations(n=13, 5.2%). The success rate of endoscopic removal was 96.6% (n=1 288). By Logistic regression analysis, sharp foreign body ingestion (OR=6.893, 95%CI: 4.421-10.746) , esophageal impaction (OR=5.253, 95%CI:3.352-8.233) and foreign body impaction longer than 24 hours (OR=4.336, 95%CI:3.091-6.082) were risk factors of complications. Sharp foreign body ingestion was the risk factor of endoscopic failure (OR=5.372, 95%CI:2.773-10.406) . Conclusions: Coin is the most common foreign body in upper gastrointestinal tract. Sharp foreign bodies impacted in the esophagus over 24 hours increase the risk of complications. Endoscopic removal of foreign bodies from the upper gastrointestinal tract in children has a high success rate. Sharp foreign body ingestion increases the risk of failure in endoscopic removing.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To present a DDD scoring system in assessing the complexity and outcomes of retroperitoneoscopic nephron-sparing surgery for kidney tumor. METHODS We retrospectively evaluated 232 patients who underwent retroperitoneoscopic nephron-sparing surgery between January 2013 and September 2017 for a renal tumor. Both the DDD score and RENAL score were used to classify the tumors. The DDD score consisted of the maximal tumor diameter inside the kidney, the maximal tumor depth into the medulla or collecting system and the minimal distance from the tumor to the main renal vessels. RESULTS The DDD scoring systems were significantly associated with warm ischemia time (P = 0.007) and estimated blood loss (P = 0.017). There was an insignificant positive correlation between the DDD score and the operative time (P = 0.051). Meanwhile, the RENAL score had a significant correlation with the decreasing value of the estimated glomerular filtration rate. Patients with high or moderate DDD scores had a 13.6-fold or 8.4-fold risk of overall complications than those with low DDD scores, respectively (all P < 0.05). As for RENAL score, patients with moderate scores had a 2.9-fold risk of overall complications compared with patients in the low scores group (P = 0.004). In the receiver operating characteristic curve analysis, the DDD score had the greatest area under the curve for overall complications (area under the curve 0.625, P = 0.009), which was more than the RENAL score (area under the curve 0.620, P = 0.013). CONCLUSIONS The DDD score is an intuitive renal tumor scoring system that is more effective than the RENAL score in complexity assessment, and marginally better in prediction of the risk of overall complications of retroperitoneal laparoscopic nephron-sparing surgery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To illustrate our technique to construct the Institute of Urology Peking University (IUPU) orthotopic ileal bladder and present our initial experience. METHODS From August 2017 to April 2018, 12 patients with bladder cancer underwent radical cystectomy (RC), pelvic lymph node dissection and extracorporeal construction of an IUPU neobladder (IUPUB) by an experienced surgeon. We present the demographic, clinicopathologic, perioperative, and follow-up data. We also describe our step-by-step surgical technique for the IUPUB in this article. RESULTS Laparoscopic RC with an extracorporeal IUPUB was successfully accomplished in 11 patients, and 1 patient was converted to open RC with an IUPUB. The median total operative time and median time spent suturing the pouch were 248 minutes and 23 minutes, respectively. The median estimated blood loss was 150 mL. The median time to recovery of bowel function (tolerance of a liquid diet) was 3½ days. The urinary catheter was removed on post-operative day 21 in 10 patients. The ureteral stents and stoma catheter were removed on day 7 after cystography. At a median followup of 7½ months, 2 patients had early complications (<30 days), and no major complications (grade ≥ 3) occurred. The follow-up outcomes were satisfactory. The limitations included the small sample size and short-term outcomes. CONCLUSION Our technique of constructing the IUPUB is feasible and safe. The operative time and early complication rates are acceptable.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION We aimed to compare oncological outcomes by surgery type (segmental ureterectomy [SU] vs. radical nephroureterectomy [RNU]) in a large cohort of patients with upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) of the distal ureter. METHODS We performed a retrospective analysis of 219 patients with UTUC of the distal ureter among 931 patients with UTUC who underwent SU and RNU. Clinicopathological outcomes were evaluated. Cancer-specific survival (CSS), overall survival (OS), local recurrence-free survival (RFS), intravesical recurrence-free survival (IVRFS), contralateral recurrence-free survival, and distal metastasis-free survival were assessed by the Kaplan-Meier method and Cox regression, estimating hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). RESULTS A total of 179 (81.7%) patients underwent RNU and 40 (18.3%) underwent SU: 85 males (47.5%) with RNU and 17 (42.5%) with SU (p=0.568). The median age with RNU and SU was 71 years (range 31-86) and 70 years (range 46-90), respectively (p=0.499). The T stage of the two groups did not differ (p=0.122), nor did mean tumour length (3.35±2.62 vs. 3.25±2.14; p=0.953), grade (p=0.075), tumour necrosis (p=0.634), or followup time (months) (58.1±8.1 vs. 63.7±3.4; p=0.462). The two groups did not differ in CSS (p=0.358) or OS (p=0.206), and surgery type did not predict CSS (HR 0.862; 95% CI 0.469-1.585; p=0.633) or OS (HR 0.764; 95% CI 0.419-1.392; p=0.379). Local RFS was higher with RNU than SU (96.2% vs. 86.0%; p=0.02), but the groups did not differ in IVRFS (p=0.661), contralateral RFS (p=0.183), or distant metastasis-free survival (p=0.078). On multivariate analysis, SU was associated with local RFS (HR 5.069; 95% CI 1.029-24.968; p=0.046) and distant metastasis-free survival (HR 6.497; 95% CI 1.196-35.283; p=0.03). Local RFS was lower with SU than RNU for patients with pT3-4 stage (p=0.006). CONCLUSIONS Long-term oncological outcomes were equivalent with SU and RNU in patients with UTUC of the distal ureter. SU affected local recurrence survival, especially with advanced tumour stage, and distant metastasis survival.

Abstract
Traditional laparoscopic radical prostatectomy is a treatment choice in many developing countries and regions for most patients with localized prostate cancer; however, no system for predicting surgical difficulty and risk has been established. This study aimed to propose a simple and standard preoperative classification system of prostate cancer using preoperative data to predict surgical difficulty and risk and to evaluate the relationship between the data and postoperative complications. We collected data from 236 patients and divided them into three groups to evaluate and validate the relationships among preoperative, operative, and postoperative data. This new scoring system is based on the body mass index, ultrasonic prostate volume, preoperative prostate-specific antigen level, middle lobe protrusion, and clinical stage. In the scoring group, we classified 89 patients into two groups: the low-risk group (score of <4) and high-risk group (score of ≥4), and then compared the postoperative data between the two groups. The positive surgical margin rate was higher in the high-risk group than low-risk group. The results in validation Groups A and B were similar to those in the scoring group. The focus of our scoring system is to allow for preliminary assessment of surgical difficulty by collecting the patients' basic information. Urologists can easily use the scoring system to evaluate the surgical difficulty and predict the risks of a positive surgical margin and urinary incontinence in patients undergoing laparoscopic radical prostatectomy.

Abstract
Objective: To summarize the clinical characteristics of silent paraganglioma. Methods: A total of 247 pheochromocytoma cases in Peking University First Hospital between January 1993 and December 2015 were analyzed retrospectively.The cases were divided into two groups according to whether they had hypertension: non-silent group (193 cases) and silent group (53 cases), then the clinical characteristics between the groups were compared, and the clinical features of silent pheochromocytoma were reviewed. Results: There were 53 silent pheochromocytoma cases in this study, which accounted for 21.5% (53/247), and imaging was the main way to find the tumor. Forty-one in 53 cases (77.4%) located in adrenal gland, in which 31 cases (75.6%) were benign and 2.3-8.0 cm in diameter, while 10 cases (24.4%) were malignant and 3.5-12.0 cm in diameter. Twelve in 53 cases (22.6%) located in extra-adrenal tissue, in which 4 cases were benign and 2.0-5.5 cm in diameter, while 8 cases were malignant and 5.0-10.5 cm in diameter. With the tumor diameter increased, the malignant rate increased: 1 in 8 cases in diameter<3 cm, 2 in 12 cases in diameter 3-5 cm, 15 in 33 cases in diameter>5 cm were malignant. There was no significant difference in age, sex, tumor location, benign or malignant rate between the two groups (all P>0.05). Compared with the non-silent group, the proportion of tumor size≥5 cm in silent group was significantly higher (62.3% vs 45.9%, P=0.034), and the incidence of hyperglycemia and the concentrations of norepinephrine and epinephrine were lower (all P<0.05) in silent group.Misdiagnosis was common in silent group, and up to 35.8% (19/53) had not been diagnosed correctly before operation. Twenty-one in 53 (39.6%) silent pheochromocytoma cases occured severe intra-operative blood pressure fluctuation. Conclusions: Silent pheochromocytoma was not uncommon and imaging was the main way to find it. The tumor size was always big and misdiagnosis was common, especially extra-adrenal tumors. Therefore, regardless of the adrenal or extra-adrenal tumors, especially in diameter>3.0 cm but with normal blood pressure, the possibility of silent pheochromocytoma should be considered. In order to reduce misdiagnosis and intra-operative blood pressure fluctuations, preoperative diagnosis and preparation, as well as intra-operative monitoring should be fully made.

Abstract
Objective: To develop a nomogram based on prostate imaging reporting and data system version 2 (PI-RADS v2) to predict clinically significant prostate cancer in patients with a prior negative prostate biopsy. Methods: The clinical and pathological data of 231 patients who underwent repeat prostate biopsy and multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) were reviewed. Based on PI-RADS v2, the mpMRI results were assigned as PI-RADS grade from 0 to 2. A Logistic regression nomogram for predicting the probabilities of clinically significant prostate cancer were constructed. The performances of the nomogram were assessed using area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, calibrations and decision curve analysis. Results: Of the total 231 repeat prostate biopsy patients, clinically significant prostate cancer was detected in 59 cases(25.5%). In multivariate Logistic regression analysis, age, prostate specific antigen (PSA), prostate volume (PV), digital rectal examination (DRE) and mpMRI results were significant independent predictors of the diagnosis of clinically significant prostate cancer (P<0.05). The nomogram with super predictive accuracy were constructed (AUC=0.927, P<0.001), and exhibited excellent calibration. Decision curve analysis also demonstrated a high net benefit across a wide range of threshold probabilities . Conclusions: PI-RADS v2 combined with age, PSA, PV and DRE can predict the probability of clinically significant prostate cancer in patients with negative initial biopsies. The nomogram generated may help the decision-making process in patients with prior benign histology before the performance of repeat biopsy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explored whether adipose derived stem cells (ASCs) could inhibit the pro-liferation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and whether inflammatory priming could enhance this property of ASCs. METHODS We isolated ASCs using collagenase from adipose tissue and expanded them in vitro. Cells were induced to differentiate into adipogenic and osteogenic lineages. The cells at passage 3 to passage 5 were used for the experiments. After carboxy fluoresce in succinimidyl ester (CFSE) staining, PBMCs were co-cultured with inflammatory priming ASCs. The PBMCs cultured without ASCs or with non-treated ASCs defined as control groups. Then we used flow cytometry to detect the proliferation of PBMCs. RESULTS ASCs had fibroblast-like phenotype and were spindle shaped. They were able to differentiate into cells of adipogenic and osteogenic lineages in specific induction media. ASCs had the CD expression profile consistant with the International Federation for Adipose Therapeutics statement. The percentage of parent cells in PBMC after co-cultured with ASCs increased, though there was no statistical significance. However, when co-cultured with inflammatory priming ASCs, the percentage of parent cells significantly increased (with inflammatory priming ASCs group vs. without ASCs group, 38.7%±10.0% vs. 28.4%±8.9%, P<0.05). This indicated that inflammatory priming ASCs could significantly inhibit the proliferation of PBMCs. CONCLUSION Inflammatory cytokines can enhance the immunosuppressive ability of ASCs. Our findings may help the application of ASCs in tissue repairment with better results.

Abstract
Objective: Primary gastric diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (PG-DLBCL) is the most common non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) of extranodal origin. Most patients with PG-DLBCL had localized disease (stage Ⅰ or Ⅱ) at presentation, and will achieve complete response (CR) after induction chemotherapy. However, there has been little consensus regarding whether optimal treatment is provided by chemotherapy alone or chemotherapy plus radiotherapy, nor the treatment outcome from the addition of rituximab in localized-stage PG-DLBCL. Methods: Patients with Stage ⅠE and ⅡE PG-DLBCL were retrospectively analyzed. Patients have not undergone surgery, have received at least 3 cycles of R-CHOP or CHOP-like chemotherapy as initial therapy, and achieved CR or partial response (PR) were enrolled. Results: A total of 91 patients were studied. The median age was 51 years, included 47 males and 44 females. Fifty-two patients were at Stage ⅠE and 39 at Stage ⅡE, 64 (70.3%) patients received R-CHOP-like regimens, and 27 (29.7%) received CHOP-like regimens, the median chemotherapy cycle was 6 (3-8). Among the 91 patients, 80 (87.9%) patients achieved CR from induction chemotherapy, 11(12.1%) was evaluated PR. Of CR patients, 48 patients (60%) underwent consolidating radiotherapy and 32 patients (40%) did not receive radiotherapy; all PR patients received salvage radiotherapy. CR patients with and without radiation therapy had 4-year progression-free survival (PFS) rates of 96.4% and 96.7%, respectively (χ(2) = 0.546, P=0.46); 7/11 (63.6%) PR patients achieved CR after radiotherapy, with a median follow-up of 41 months, they were all disease free. For patients treated with R-CHOP or CHOP-like regimens, the 4-year PFS was 93.2% and 89.7%, respectively (χ(2)=0.096, P=0.757). Conclusions: Consolidation radiotherapy failed to improve the outcome for early-stage PG-DLBCL, while for PR patients, salvage radiotherapy increased CR rate and improved survival. The addition of rituximab to CHOP did not improve the efficacy.

Abstract
Objective: The clinical features and prognosis of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) were analyzed to optimize the treatment. Methods: We retrospectively collected the clinical data of patients with advanced-stage DLBCL from January 2006 to December 2012 in National Cancer Center/Cancer Hospital. The demographic characteristics, clinical stage, histological diagnosis, treatment and prognostic characteristics of these patients were analyzed. Results: A total of 370 patients with median age of 55 years old were recruited in the study. The male-to-female ratio was 1.3∶1. Among the 361 patients who underwent therapy, 280 cases received chemotherapy alone, 65 cases received chemoradiotherapy, and 16 cases received chemotherapy combined with autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (AHSCT). The median follow-up period was 89 months, the 5-year overall survival (OS) rate of the entire cohort was 42.9%. The 5-year OS rate of chemotherapy alone, chemoradiotherapy and chemotherapy combined with AHSCT were 36.8%, 58.5%, 87.5%, respectively. The 5-year OS rate were significantly different between chemoradiotherapy and chemotherapy alone (P=0.001), and between chemotherapy combined with AHSCT and chemoradiotherapy (P=0.040). Univariate analysis showed that the age, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (ECOG PS) score, Ann Arbor stage, B symptom, bulky disease, number of extranodal sites, Ki-67 index, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), β2-microglobulin (β2-MG), international prognostic index (IPI), therapeutic manner and chemotherapy combined with rituximab were significantly associated with the prognosis of advanced DLBCL patients (all P<0.05). Multivariate analysis demonstrated that the age >60 years, Ann Arbor stage IV, with B symptom, with bulky disease, ECOG PS≥1, Ki-67 index > 90%, CD5 expression, up-regulation of serum LDH and β2-MG, and chemotherapy without rituximab were related with the poor prognosis of patients with advanced-stage DLBCL (all P<0.05). Conclusions: Chemotherapy combined with rituximab can improve the outcome of patients with advanced-stage DLBCL. The age, stage, B symptom, bulky disease, ECOG PS score, Ki-67 index, CD5 expression, LDH, β2-MG and chemotherapy combined with rituximab are associated with the prognosis of these patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The pretreatment neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) has been reported to be a prognostic factor in various types of carcinomas. The aim of this study was to investigate the prognostic value of pretreatment NLR in a large cohort of Chinese patients with upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC). METHODS We retrospectively analyzed the medical data of 656 UTUC patients who underwent radical nephroureterectomy (RNU) from 2001 to 2011 at Peking University First Hospital. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was performed to calculate the optimal cutoff point of pretreatment NLR. Uni- and multi-variate analyses were used to identify the prognostic factors for cancer-specific survival (CSS) and intravesical recurrence-free survival (IVRFS). RESULTS The optimal cutoff point of pretreatment NLR was 2.40 by ROC curves, by which patients with high NLR (NLR ≥2.40) and low NLR (NLR <2.40) accounted for 314 (47.9%) and 342 (52.1%) patients, respectively. Patients with a high pretreatment NLR tended to have high tumor grades (χ2 = 15.725, P< 0.001), high tumor stages (χ2 = 25.416, P< 0.001), tumor sizes >5 cm (χ2 = 8.213, P= 0.005), ipsilateral hydronephrosis (χ2 = 4.624, P= 0.033), and concomitant carcinoma in situ(CIS) (χ2 = 9.517, P= 0.003). A high pretreatment NLR (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.820, P= 0.001), main tumor diameter >5 cm (HR = 1.789, P= 0.009), lymph node metastasis (HR = 1.863, P= 0.024), and high tumor stage (HR = 1.745, P< 0.001) independently predicted poor CSS after surgery, while only concomitant carcinoma in situ(CIS) (HR = 2.164, P= 0.034), ureteroscopy before surgery (HR = 1.701, P= 0.015), and high tumor grade (HR = 1.645, P= 0.018) were independent predictors of IVRFS after RNU. CONCLUSIONS The pretreatment NLR was related to some adverse clinicopathological features and was an independent predictor of CSS, although not IVRFS, in Chinese UTUC patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Hematuria is the most common symptom of urothelial carcinomas (UC) but is often idiopathic. Cystoscopy is expensive which involves considerable patient discomfort, and conventional urine cytology for noninvasive UC detection and disease monitoring suffers from poor sensitivity. We aim to evaluate the performance of genes selected from a previous study in detecting UC, especially among patients with gross hematuria, as well as upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) and bladder carcinoma separately, in voided urine samples. METHODS Using methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction, we examined the promoter methylation status of 10 genes in voided urine samples among 473 patients at our institution, including 217 UC patients and 256 control subjects. RESULTS The final combination of VIM, CDH1, SALL3, TMEFF2, RASSF1A, BRCA1, GDF15, and ABCC6 identified UC with a sensitivity of 0.83 and a specificity of 0.60. Additionally, a panel of selected genes (CDH1, HSPA2, RASSF1A, TMEFF2, VIM, and GDF15) identified UTUC with a sensitivity of 0.82 and a specificity of 0.68, while a panel of selected genes (VIM, RASSF1A, GDF15, and TMEFF2) identified bladder carcinoma with a sensitivity of 0.82 and a specificity of 0.53. Remarkably, a different panel (CDH1, SALL3, THBS1, TMEFF2, VIM, and GDF15) identified UC in patients with gross hematuria with 0.89 sensitivity and 0.74 specificity, and sensitivity (0.91) and specificity (0.92) could be achieved when cytology was included. CONCLUSIONS The selected urine-DNA methylation biomarkers are reliable, noninvasive, and cost-effective diagnostic tools for bladder carcinoma and UTUC, especially among patients with gross hematuria.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the prognostic significance of inflammatory indicator, neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR), for advanced-stage diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Methods: The data of advanced stage DLBCL cases was retrospectively collected, and all the patients were seen from January 2006 to December 2012 in National Cancer Center/Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences. The patients were divided into the low NLR group (≤5∶1) and the high NLR group (>5∶1); the low PLR group (≤300∶1) and the high PLR group (>300∶1). Kaplan-Meier method was used to compare the survival rates between groups, multivriate Cox proportional hazard regression analysis was performed to assess the independent prognostic significance of clinical and histopathological variables on events or OS. Results: A total of 361 patients were included in the study. Under a median follow-up of 89 months, the 5-year overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) of the whole group were 42.9% and 31.3%, respectively. The 5-year OS rate and PFS rate were 48.2% and 35.1% in the low NLR group, which were 24.1% and 17.7% in the high NLR group, respectively. The 5-year OS rates and PFS rate were 45.4% and 33.2% in the low PLR group, which were 29.8% and 21.1% in the high PLR group (all P<0.05). Univariate analysis showed that NLR >5∶1, PLR >300∶1, age>60 year, ECOG PS>1 score, stage Ⅳ, B symptom, bulky disease, number of extranodal sites >1, Ki-67index >90%, LDH elevated and β2-MG elevated had significant influence on prognosis(all P<0.05). Multivariate analysis demonstrated that NLR, stage, B symptom, bulky disease, ECOG PS score, Ki-67 index and β2-MG were associated with poor prognosis in the advanced-stage DLBCL. Conclusions: NLR was simple and feasible biomarker for prognosis of advanced-stage DLBCL patients.

Abstract
Background To evaluate the prognostic significance of the novel index combining preoperative hemoglobin and albumin levels and lymphocyte and platelet counts (HALP) in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) patients. Methods We enrolled 1360 patients who underwent nephrectomy in our institution from 2001 to 2010. The cutoff values for HALP, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio were defined by using X-tile software. Survival was analyzed by the Kaplan–Meier method, with differences analyzed by the log-rank test. Multivariate Cox proportional-hazards model was used to evaluate the prognostic significance of HALP for RCC. Results Low HALP was significantly associated with worse clinicopathologic features. Kaplan-Meier and log-rank tests revealed that HALP was strongly correlated with cancer specific survival (P < 0.001) and Cox multivariate analysis demonstrated that preoperative HALP was independent prognostic factor for cancer specific survival (HR = 1.838, 95%CI:1.260–2.681, P = 0.002). On predicting prognosis by nomogram, the risk model including TNM stage, Fuhrman grade and HALP score was more accurate than only use of TNM staging. Conclusions HALP was closely associated with clinicopathologic features and was an independent prognostic factor of cancer-specific survival for RCC patients undergoing nephrectomy. A nomogram based on HALP could accurately predict prognosis of RCC.

Abstract
Objective: To study the clinical characteristics, image findings, therapeutic method and prognosis of metanephric adenoma. Method: The clinical characteristic, image findings, operation methods and prognosis of 16 metanephric adenoma patients treated at Department of Urology, Peking University First Hospital from January 2004 to March 2016 were analyzed retrospectively. Results: There were 6 male and 10 female patients in the study. The mean age of patients was 33.7 years (ranging from 14 to 83 years). Two patients came to the hospital because of fever, while other 14 patients had no symptoms and found renal tumor by medical examination. One case was found polythemia vera and another 1 case showed mild anemia. Serum creatine of all the cases were in normal range. The tumor of 11 cases were at left side and 5 cases were at right. All patients took urinary tract ultrasound. Fifteen patients took CT examination. Among them, 14 cases were solid mass and 1 case was cystosolid.CT value was (41±4) HU. CT scan showed that the tumor was slight enhanced and CT value increased to (77±9) HU. Six patients took MRI examination. The MRI showed high or low signal of T1WI or T2WI scans.Tumor size was (4.7±3.9)cm (ranging from 1.7 to 17.5 cm). All 16 patients took operation and 11 of them took laparoscopic surgery while the other 5 cases took open surgery. Eleven cases took partial nephrectomy, 4 cases took nephrectomy and 1 case took nephroureterectomy. The surgical procedures were all successful and no complications occured during perioperative period. All cases were all confirmed metanephric adenoma by postoperative pathology and surgery cut edge were all negative. Immunohistochemical study showed that the positive rate of Vimentin, CD57, AE1/AE3, WT1, CK7 and AMACR respectively were 16/16, 15/16, 12/16, 10/16, 3/16 and 2/16. The median follow-up time of 16 cases was 44 months (ranging from 8 to 125 months) and none had recurrence or metastasis.One case died 125 months after surgery because of advanced age(83 years old). Conclusions: Metanephric adenoma is difficult to be diagnosed relying on clinical characteristics and image features. Pathology can help confirm the diagnosis. Partial nephrectomy is the first choice for operation and can achieve good prognosis. But it still needs a regular follow-up.

Abstract
The outcome of bladder cancer after radical cystectomy is heterogeneous. We aim to evaluate the prognostic value of HALP (hemoglobin, albumin, lymphocyte and platelet) and explore novel prognostic indexes for patients with bladder cancer after radical cystectomy. In this retrospective study, 516 patients with bladder cancer after radical cystectomy were included. The median follow-up was 37 months (2 to 99 mo). Risk factors of decreased overall survival were older age, high TNM stage, high American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) grade and low HALP score. The predictive accuracy was better with HALP-based nomogram than TNM stage (C- index 0.76 ± 0.039 vs. 0.708 ± 0.041). By combining ASA grade and HALP, we created a novel index—HALPA score and found it an independent risk factor for decreased survival (HALPA score = 1, HR 1.624, 95% CI 1.139–2.314, P = 0.007; HALPA score = 2, HR 3.471, 95% CI: 1.861–6.472, P < 0.001).The present study identified the prognostic value of HALP and provided a novel index HALPA score for bladder cancer after radical cystectomy.

Abstract
Objective: To develop a predictive nomogram based on multi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) information to identify men more likely to have a cancer diagnosed on repeat prostate biopsy. Methods: The clinical data of 237 patients who received repeat prostate biopsy after initial negative biopsy from Department of Urology of Peking University First Hospital between January 2001 and August 2016 was reviewed. Patient age, body mass index (BMI), serum total prostate-specific antigen (PSA), percent free PSA (f/t), prostate volume (PV), PSA density (PSAD), PSA velocity (PSAV), digital rectal examination (DRE), transrectal ultrasound (TRUS)and mpMRI results were included in the univariate and multivariate analysis. A nomogram was developed using selected variables and the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was calculated as a measure of discrimination. Results: A total of 76 patients (32.07%) had prostate cancer (PCa) detected on repeat biopsy. Based on univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis, the patient age, PSA, PV, DRE and mpMRI results were independent predictors for the diagnosis of PCa on repeat biopsy. The current nomogram performed well (AUC=0.910) and showed excellent calibration. Conclusions: Multi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging combined with age, PSA, PV and DRE can predict the probability of PCa in patients with initial negative biopsy. The nomogram might help in decision-making for men with prior benign histology before the performance of repeat biopsy.

Abstract
Objectives: To evaluate the prognosis of non-metastatic T3a renal cell carcinoma (RCC) with partial nephrectomy (PN). Patients and Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 125 patients with non-metastatic T3a RCC. Patients undergoing PN and radical nephrectomy (RN) were strictly matched by clinic-pathologic characteristics. Log-rank test and Cox regression model were used for univariate and multivariate analysis. Results: 18 pair patients were matched and the median follow-up was 35.5 (10-86) months. PN patients had a higher postoperative eGFR than RN patients (P=0.034). Cancer-specific survival (CSS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) did not differ between two groups (P=0.305 and P=0.524). On multivariate analysis, CSS decreased with positive surgical margin and anemia (both P <0.01) and RFS decreased with Furhman grade, positive surgical margin, and anemia (all P<0.01). Conclusions: For patients with non-metastatic pT3a RCC, PN may be a possible option for similar oncology outcomes and better renal function.

Abstract
Objective: To study the impact to operation safety of preoperative renal artery embolization for management of ≥10 cm renal cell carcinoma. Methods: The clinical data of 239 cases with ≥10 cm renal cell carcinoma which all had underwent operation in Department of Urology, Peking University First Hospital from January 2002 to December 2014 were retrospectively analyzed. Fifty-three patients underwent preoperative renal artery embolization (therapeutic group) and 186 patients did not (control group). The effect of embolization on operative time, transfusion requirements, hospitalization, ICU stay and perioperative complications were analyzed by comparing the two groups using rank sum test and χ(2) test or Fisher exact test. Results: Comparing the therapeutic group and control group, there was significant difference in tumor location (on the left or right). The mean age, sex, mean primary tumor size, and TNM stage were similar in both groups. Comparing the therapeutic group and control group, there were more open surgeries in therapeutic group (96.2% vs. 82.3%, χ(2)=6.438, P=0.013). There were no significant differences in mean operative time (238 (525) minutes vs. 208 (583) minutes, Z=-2.182, P=0.062). The mean blood transfusion (700 (1 900) ml vs. 925 (8 800) ml, Z=-1.064, P=0.006) had significant difference. The therapeutic group had a longer mean hospitalization (21 (50) days vs. 15 (79) days, Z=-4.322, P=0.000) and higher rate of intensive care unit stay (54.7% vs. 34.4%, χ(2)=6.103, P=0.027). There was no significant difference in perioperative complications between two groups (0 vs.3.2%, P=0.408). Conclusion: Preoperative renal artery embolization in ≥10 cm renal cell carcinoma patients undergoing operation provides benefit in increasing operation safety and reducing perioperative death.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the diagnostic rate, safety and clinical application of percutaneous renal masses biopsy for advanced renal cell carcinoma patients. METHODS In this retrospective study, we collected the data of renal masses from the patients who underwent renal masses biopsy under ultrasound from April 2001 to December 2014 in Peking University First Hospital. A total of 75 patients who were undiagnosed or diagnosed with advanced renal cell carcinoma by the imageological method were enrolled in this study. The patient and lesion characteristics such as tumor size, pathology of tumor, histologic subtype, pathological grade, biopsied location and biopsied cores were recorded and analyzed. RESULTS Among all the 75 patients, biopsy was diagnostic in 64 cases (85.3%) and non-diagnostic in 11 cases (14.7%). Of the 64 diagnostic biopsies, 60 were malignant, including 37 (61.7%) renal cell carcinoma (RCC), 13 (21.7%) urothelial carcinoma and 10 (16.7%) other malignant masses. Of all the RCC subjects, 24 suffered from clear cell RCC, 5 papillary RCC, 3 collecting duct carcinomas, 1 unclassified RCC and 4 unknown subtypes. The 11 non-diagnostic biopsied samplings included inflammatory, blood and extrarenal tissue and normal renal tissue. The proportion of collecting duct carcinoma in RCC was 10.8% and the proportion of squamous carcinoma in urothelial carcinoma was 23.1%, which were both higher than the previous research findings. For the male and female groups, non-diagnostic yields were 6.5% and 30.4%, respectively (P=0.022). Of all the 75 patients, 13 renal cell carcinoma patients underwent the surgical treatment and got the results of postoperative pathology. Comparing preoperative biopsy pathological diagnosis with postoperative pathological diagnosis, we found the diagnostic correct rates for benign and malignant lesions, pathological subtype and pathological grade were 100%, 81.8% and 60%, respectively. Mild macroscopic hematuria occurred in 1 case after RMB and there were no serious complications in all the cases. CONCLUSION Percutaneous renal masses biopsy under ultrasound with a high diagnostic rate which can define the histologic subtype of renal cell carcinoma. With targeted therapy, more and more patients whose evaluation suggests local advanced disease or metastatic tumors adopt renal tumor biopsy to define the histologic subtype, which could avoid unnecessary surgical treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore risk factors including prostate-specific antigen (PSA) kinetics for the prediction of castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), and to build a practical model for predicting the progression to CRPC after androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) so as to facilitate clinicians in decision-making for prostate cancer patients receiving ADT. METHODS A total of 185 patients with prostate cancer who had received ADT as the primary therapy in Department of Urology of Peking University First Hospital from 2003 to 2014 were enrolled retrospectively. All the patients were diagnosed with prostate cancer via prostate biopsy and followed up every four weeks from the initiation of ADT. All the patients received ADT with luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone agonists (LHRH-A) or surgical castration accompanied with an antiandrogen (bicalutamide or flutamide, combined androgen blockade). The clinical information of the patients were collected including age, clinical TNM stage, Gleason score (GS), risk groups of prostate cancer, PSA at the initiation of ADT, PSA nadir after ADT, PSA decline velocity, and the time to PSA nadir. The end point of this study was the diagnosis of CRPC, which was based on the European Association of Urology (EAU) Guideline 2016. Cox proportional hazards regression models were established to analyze and estimate their effects on the time of progression to CRPC. RESULTS In this study, 185 patients with prostate cancer who had received ADT as the primary therapy were included. The mean age was (71.02±8.67) years. The median time to progression to CRPC in this cohort was 38 months (ranging from 4 to 158 months). On univariate analysis, we found clinical T stage, N stage, the metastasis state before ADT, risk groups of prostate cancer, PSA decline velocity, and PSA nadir were all related to the time to CRPC progression, P<0.01 for all the above variables. And on multivariate analysis, the presence of distant metastasis before ADT (HR=6.030, 95% CI: 3.229-11.263, P=0.001), higher PSA nadir (HR=1.185, 95% CI: 1.080-1.301, P=0.001), higher PSA decline velocity>11 μg/(L×month) (HR=2.124, 95% CI: 1.195-3.750, P=0.001), and time to PSA nadir ≤9 months (HR=3.623, 95% CI: 1.640-4.817, P=0.004) were found to be significantly associated with an increased risk of progression to CRPC. CONCLUSION Patients with rapid decreasing of PSA in the initial ADT were more likely to progress to CRPC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the impacts of the prognostic factors of T2N0M0 upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) for Chinese patients. METHODS A retrospective study was conducted including 235 patients who were diagnosed with T2N0M0 UTUC in our hospital and received radical nephroureterectomy (RNU) or partial ureterectomy during January 2000 and December 2013. The 3 and 5-year cancer-specific survival rates and bladder recurrence-free survival rates of all the patients were valued using Kaplan-Meier method, and the survival curves with statistical significance between the two were compared using the Log-rank test. Variables with significant differences in the univariate analysis were subjected to the multivariate analysis by Cox regression model. RESULTS A total of 235 patients were included in this study, including 95 (40.4%) male patients and 140 (59.6%) female patients. The mean age was 66.73±10.49 years.The median follow-up time was 53 (rang: 3-142) months, and during the follow-up, 74 (31.5%) patients died of UTUC after a median of 35 months,and 96 (40.9%) patients developed intravesical recurrence after a median of 19.5 months. The 3 and 5-year cancer-specific survival rates of all the patients were 89.1% and 85.9%, respectively; the bladder recurrence-free survival rates were 85.5% and 80.2%, respectively. The independent prognostic factors of cancer-specific mortality were tumor age elder than 55 years (HR=3.138, 95%CI: 1.348-7.306, P=0.008) and diameter larger than 5 cm (HR=3.320, 95%CI: 1.882-5.857, P<0.001). The independent prognostic factors of bladder recurrence-free survival were ureter tumor (HR=1.757, 95%CI: 1.159-2.664, P=0.008) and lower tumor grade (HR=1.760, 95% CI: 1.151-2.692, P=0.009). CONCLUSION T2N0M0 UTUC has a better cancer-specific survival. The intravesical recurrence was equivalent to non-muscle invasive UTUC but earlier. The tumor diameter larger than 5 cm and the patient age elder than 55 years were independently associated with cancer-specific mortality; the primary tumor located in ureter and lower tumor grade were more likely to develop intravesical recurrence.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the mechanisms of nuclear export signal of androgen receptor (NESAR) in the regulation of androgen receptor (AR) protein expression and stability in prostate cancer. METHODS The green fluorescent protein fusion protein expression vectors pEGFP-AR(1-918aa), pEGFP-NESAR (743-817aa), pEGFP-NAR (1-665aa) and pEGFP-NAR-NESAR, and lysine mutants of NESAR pEGFP-NESAR K776R, pEGFP-NESAR K807R and pEGFP-NESAR K776R/K807R, were transiently transfected into prostate cancer cell line PC3. Fluorescence microscopy, Western blot and immunoprecipitation were used to detect NESAR regulation of androgen receptor stability. RESULTS Under the fluorescence microscope, NESAR-containing fusion proteins were cytoplasmic localization, and their fluorescence intensities were much weaker than those without NESAR. The expression levels of NESAR-containing fusion proteins were significantly lower than those without NESAR. The half-lives of GFP-NESAR and GFP-NAR-NESAR were less than 6 h, while the expression of GFP and GFP-NAR was relatively stable and the half-life was more than 24 h in the presence of cycloheximide. The expression levels of GFP-NESAR were significantly increased by proteasome inhibitor MG132 treatment in a dose-dependent manner; in contrast, MG132 did not show any significant effect on the protein levels of GFP. When new protein synthesis was blocked, MG132 could also prevent the degradation of GFP-NESAR in the transfected cells in the presence of cycloheximide, while it had no significant effect on GFP protein stability in the parallel experiment. GFP immunoprecipitation showed that the ubiquitination level of GFP-NESAR fusion protein was significantly higher than that of the GFP control. The mutations of lysine sites K776 and K807 in NESAR significantly reduced the level of ubiquitination, and showed increased protein stability, indicating that they were the key amino acid residues of NESAR ubiquitination. CONCLUSION NESAR was unstable and decreased the stability of its fusion proteins. NESAR was the target of polyubiquitination and mediated the degradation of its fusion proteins through the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway in prostate cancer cells. Our research provides a new way to regulate the level and/or activity of AR proteins, thus helping us understand the molecular mechanisms of AR degradation and strict control of AR in the progression to castration-resistance.

Abstract
PURPOSE To determine the effect of diagnostic ureteroscopy on intravesical recurrence in patients with upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) after radical nephroureterec¬tomy (RNU). MATERIALS AND METHODS We conducted a retrospective analysis of 664 patients who were treated with RNU for UTUC from June 2000 to December 2011, excluding those who had concomitant/prior bladder tumors. Of the 664 patients, 81 underwent di¬agnostic ureteroscopy (URS). We analyzed the impact of diagnostic ureteroscopy on intravesical recurrence (IVR) using the Kaplan-Meier method. Univariate and multi¬variate analyses were used to determine the independent risk factors. RESULTS The median follow-up time was 48 months (interquartile range (IQR): 31- 77 months). Patients who underwent ureteroscopy were more likely to have a small (p<0.01), early-staged (p=0.019), multifocality (p=0.035) and ureteral tumor (p<0.001). IVR occurred in 223 patients during follow-up within a median of 17 months (IQR: 7-33). Patients without preoperative ureteroscopy have a statistically significant better 2-year (79.3%±0.02 versus 71.4%±0.02, p<0.001) and 5-year intravesical recurrence-free survival rates (64.9%±0.05 versus 44.3%±0.06, p<0.001) than patients who un¬derwent ureteroscopy. In multivariate analysis, the diagnostic ureteroscopy (p=0.006), multiple tumors (p=0.001), tumor size <3cm (p=0.008), low-grade (p=0.022) and pN0 stage tumor (p=0.045) were independent predictors of IVR. CONCLUSIONS Diagnostic ureteroscopy is independently associated with intravesical re¬currence after radical nephroureterectomy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To explore the prognostic significance of preoperative prognostic nutritional index (PNI) in bladder cancer after radical cystectomy and compare the prognostic ability of inflammation-based indices. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed data for 516 patients with bladder cancer who underwent radical cystectomy in our institution between 2006 to 2012. Clinicopathologic characteristics and inflammation-based indices (PNI, neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio [NLR], platelet/lymphocyte ratio [PLR], lymphocyte/monocyte ratio [LMR]) were evaluated by pre-treatment measurements. Overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method and compared by log-rank test. Multivariate analysis with a Cox proportional hazards model was used to confirm predictors identified on univariate analysis. The association between clinicopathological characteristics and PNI or NLR was tested. RESULTS Among the 516 patients, the median follow-up was 37 months (interquartile range 20 to 56). On multivariate analysis, PNI and NLR independently predicted OS (PNI: hazard ratio [HR] = 1.668, 95% CI: 1.147-2.425, P = 0.007; NLR: HR = 1.416, 95% CI:1.094-2.016, P = 0.0149) and PFS (PNI: HR = 1.680, 95% CI:1.092-2.005, P = 0.015; NLR: HR = 1.550, 95% CI:1.140-2.388, P = 0.008). Low PNI predicted worse OS for all pathological stages and PFS for T1 and T2 stages. Low PNI was associated with older age (>65 years), muscle-invasive bladder cancer, high American Society of Anesthesiologists grade and anemia. CONCLUSION PNI and NLR were independent predictors of OS and PFS for patients with bladder cancer after radical cystectomy and PNI might be a novel reliable biomarker for bladder cancer.

Abstract
The spinal cord is a vital link between the brain and the body and mainly comprises neurons, glial cells and nerve fibres. In this work, nonlinear optical (NLO) microscopy based on intrinsic tissue properties was employed to label-freely analyze the cells and matrix in spinal cords at a molecular level. The high-resolution and high-contrast NLO images of unstained spinal cords demonstrate that NLO microscopy has the ability to show the microstructure of white and grey matter including ventral horn, intermediate area, dorsal horns, ventral column, lateral column and dorsal column. Neurons with various sizes were identified in grey matter by dark spots of nonfluorescent nuclei encircled by cytoplasm-emitting two-photon excited fluorescence signals. Nerve fibres and neuroglias were observed in white matter. Besides, the spinal arteries were clearly presented by NLO microscopy. Using spectral and morphological information, this technique was proved to be an effective tool for label-freely imaging spinal cord tissues, based on endogenous signals in biological tissue. With future development, we foresee promising applications of the NLO technique for in vivo, real-time assessment of spinal cord diseases or injures.

Abstract
PURPOSE To validate plasma fibrinogen and serum cholesterol levels as prognostic factors for patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and to explore the prognostic value of their combination. PATIENTS AND METHODS Medical data for 1360 RCC patients after nephrectomy were collected. X-tile software was used to determine the cutoff values. The association between clinicopathological factors and fibrinogen and cholesterol levels was determined, and factors predicting survival were examined by multivariate analysis. RESULTS The median follow-up was 67 months (interquartile range 36-74 months). On univariate and multivariate analysis, both preoperative plasma fibrinogen and serum cholesterol were independent prognostic factors of cancer-specific survival (CSS) and progression-free survival (PFS). By combining the two factors, we developed a novel index, fibrinogen-cholesterol (FC) score and found it to have better prognostic accuracy than the two factors alone. FC was an independent prognostic factor for both CSS (FC score = 1: hazard ratio [HR] = 3.207, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.775-5.793; FC score = 2: HR = 5.516, 95% CI = 2.891-10.527) and PFS (FC score = 1: HR = 2.178, 95% CI = 1.545-3.071; FC score = 2: HR = 3.709, 95% CI = 2.355-5.840). CONCLUSION Both preoperative plasma fibrinogen and serum cholesterol levels are independent prognostic factors for CSS and PFS in RCC patients after nephrectomy. A novel indicator, FC score, could be considered a novel preoperative prognostic index in RCC.

Abstract
Objective: Prostate cancer is commonly diagnosed among old men while younger men are rarely diagnosed with prostate cancer. In this study we identify clinical and pathological features of 154 patients with prostate cancer younger than 55 years old and to assist intreatment decisions. Methods: The medical records of 154 prostate cancer patients younger than 55 years old in Peking University First Hospital from Feb 1953 to Jun 2016 were reviewed, retrospectively. Data was collected including symptoms, digital rectal examination (DRE), prostate-specific antigen (PSA), Gleason score, tumor stage, treatment strategies. Results: The mean age was 50.9±4.5, and 25.3% patients were between 40-50 years. Fifty-six (36.4%) patients initially presented with lower urinary tract symptoms. A solid mass could be found by digital rectal examination in 48(31.2%) patients. All patients were diagnosed by pathology of biopsy or surgery. The median Gleason score was 8. Gleason 2-6, 3+ 4, 4+ 3, 8, 9-10 were 15 cases(9.7%), 28 cases(18.2%), 21 cases(13.6%), 15 cases(9.7%), 51 cases(33.1%), respectively. Based on 2009 AJCC TNM Classification criteria the distribution of tumor stage was T1, T2, T3, and T4 in 2(1.3%), 54 (35.1%), 60 (39.0%), and 37 (24.0%) patients. Forty patients (25.9%) were found with bone metastasis and four (2.5%) suffered from visceral metastasis. Fifty-three(34.4%)underwent hormonal therapy and 79(51.3%) underwent radical prostatectomy. Conclusion: Younger prostate caner patients usually presented with LUTS symptoms and were featured for higher tumor stage and aggressiveness. More optimal and personalized risk-based therapy options are required.

Abstract
Objective: To review hot issues and future direction of renal tumor biopsy (RTB) technique. Data Sources: The literature concerning or including RTB technique in English was collected from PubMed published from 1990 to 2015. Study Selection: We included all the relevant articles on RTB technique in English, with no limitation of study design. Results: Computed tomography and ultrasound were usually used for guiding RTB with respective advantages. Core biopsy is more preferred over fine needle aspiration because of superior accuracy. A minimum of two good-quality cores for a single renal tumor is generally accepted. The use of coaxial guide is recommended. For biopsy location, sampling different regions including central and peripheral biopsies are recommended. Conclusion: In spite of some limitations, RTB technique is relatively mature to help optimize the treatment of renal tumors.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To identify the preoperative prognostic factors of upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) and construct preoperative risk stratification system. METHODS A retrospective study including 686 patients who were diagnosed with UTUC and received radical nephroureterectomy or partial ureterectomy in Peking University First Hospital during 2003 and 2013. RESULTS Of the 686 UTUC patients, 303 (44.2%) were male and 383 (55.8%) female. The postoperative pathological examination showed that 203 (29.6%) had high tumor stages (T3, T4), 300 (43.7%) had high tumor grades (G3) and 54 (7.9%) had lymph nodes metastasis (N1). After multivariate analysis, renal pelvic tumor, large tumor, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR)≥30 mL/min, and male were associated with high tumor stage. Ureteral tumor, large tumor, and non-smoking history were associated with high tumor grade. Renal pelvis tumor, large tumor, and preoperative anemia were associated with positive N status. During the follow-up, 208 (30.3%) died for cancer and 210 (30.6%) developed intravesical recurrence. Multivariate analysis showed: large tumor (P=0.001), concomitant ipsilateral hydronephrosis (P=0.041), and preoperative anemia (P=0.001) were independently associated cancer-specific mortality after surgery, while ureteral tumor (P=0.04), multiple tumor (P=0.005), and high preoperative creatinine (P=0.036) were independent risk factors for intravesical recurrence. CONCLUSION Of the preoperative clinical parameters of UTUC patients, the large tumor, concomitant ipsilateral hydronephrosis, and preoperative anemia were independently associated with cancer-specific mortality after surgery. Ureteral tumor, multiple tumor, and high preoperative creatinine were independently associated with intravesical recurrence after surgery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the clinical pathological characteristics and improve the recognition in the diagnosis and treatment of incidental (stage T1a-T1b) prostate cancer. METHODS Seven hundred and seventy-one patients who underwent TURP from May 2004 to September 2013 were analyzed retrospectively. In our institution, TURP specimens should be totally submitted in an extensive sampling method. The tumor area was outlined by estimation of an experienced genitourinary pathologist and calculated by the image analysis system software (Image J 1.47 h). The tumor area was then multiplied by the thickness of tissue. The total sum of all tumor volume was the estimated tumor volume. The clinical and pathological factors, follow-up results were obtained and we aimed to collect information about the period of watchful waiting (WW), PSA progression status, intervention status during the follow-up, the reason for intervention on WW and the type of intervention. RESULTS The average age of 771 patients was (71.3±5.9) years old, and the average BMI was (23.9±3.1) kg/m2, preoperative average tPSA was (4.4±2.8) μg/L. Eighty-six (11.2%) cases of incidental prostate cancer were detected. The patients in T1a group (77 cases, 89.5%) had tumor volumes of (12.3±12.6) mm3, and the patients in T1b group had tumor volumes of (105.1±41.8) mm3.The range of tumor volume was 0.4-180.2 mm3. The volume of all the 86 cases was less than 500 mm3 as the threshold of insignificant cancer. All the patients were managed by WW. The mean follow-up time was 88.9 (27.9-150.1) months.The Gleason score was <7 in 79 patients, and ≥7 in 7 patients. There was no significant difference in age, preoperative tPSA, preoperative PSAD, postoperative tPSA, prostate volume and TURP resection between T1a group and T1b group (P>0.05). Among 84 patients without follow-up losts, PSA progression occurred in 5 patients. One T1a patient underwent radical prostatectomy (RP) as an intervention, and 3 patients underwent hormone therapy. One patient in T1b group underwent radiotherapy for PSA progression and one was treated because of patient preference without evidence of disease progression. There were no patients who died due to prostate cancer. CONCLUSION Eighty-six (11.2%) cases of incidental prostate cancer were detected. The tumor volume of all the cases was insignificant cancer.The clinical outcomes of IPCa were satisfactory with the initial treatment of WW in the Chinese population.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the impacts of clinical, pathological, and laboratory factors on oncological outcomes of patients with T3N0M0 renal cell carcinoma. METHODS The clinical data, laboratory exam results, and follow-up outcomes of 182 patients with T3N0M0 renal cell carcinoma who underwent nephrectomy from 2007 to 2012 in Peking University First Hospital were retrospectively collected. The 5-year cancer-specific survival and 5-year recurrence-free survival of all the patients were calculated using Kaplan-Meier method, and the statistical significance between the survival curves were compared using the Log-rank test. Variables with significant differences in the univariate analysis were subjected to the multivariate analysis by Cox regression model. All the comparisons were conducted using two-tailed test and P<0.05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS A total of 182 patients were included in this study. Of all the 182 patients, 126 were male (69.23%) and 56 were female (30.77%). The mean age was (56.75±12.45) years. The median follow-up time was 48 months (3-99 months). At the end of the follow-up, 50 patients (27.47%) died due to the disease after a median of 29.74 months and 59 patients (32.42%) had tumor recurrence after a median of 22.12 months. The 5-year cancer-specific survival of all patients was 68.30% (95% CI: 60.16%-75.84%); the 5-year recurrence-free survival was 60.70% (95% CI: 53.16%-68.84%). In the univariate analysis, diabetes mellitus, tumor invasion status, Fuhrman grade, serum album, serum cholestenone, anemia, and neutrophils percentage were associated with the cancer-specific survival and Fuhrman grade, serum album and anemia were associated with the recurrence-free survival. Variables with significant differences on univariate analysis were included in Cox multivariate regression analysis. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that diabetes mellitus (HR=2.434, 95% CI: 1.243-4.769, P=0.010), hypoalbuminemia (HR=2.188, 95% CI: 1.074-1.074, P=0.031), and anemia (HR=3.320, 95% CI: 1.839-5.991, P<0.001) were independent risk factors significantly associated with cancer-specific survival; and higher Fuhrman grade (HR=2.552, 95% CI: 1.433-4.545, P=0.001), anemia (HR=2.535, 95% CI: 1.497-4.293, P=0.001) were independent factors significantly associated with recurrence-free survival. CONCLUSION Diabetes mellitus, hypoalbuminemia, and anemia were independent risk factors significantly associated with cancer-specific survival of T3N0M0 renal cell carcinoma patients; higher Fuhrman grade and anemia were independent risk factors significantly associated with tumor recurrence of T3N0M0 renal cell carcinoma patients.
