In recent years, advances in pathology, imaging, targeted biopsy and cryoablation techniques have promoted the development of focal cryoablation in the treatment of prostate cancer. Focal cryoablation targets on the index lesion and surrounding tissues. Multiparametric MRI(mpMRI)and prostate biopsy are performed to confirm the index lesion before focal cryoablation. Prostate specific antigen(PSA), mpMRI and prostate biopsy are regularly reviewed after focal 山 东 大 学 学 报 (医 学 版)57卷1期 -周芳坚,等.前列腺癌的局灶冷冻治疗 \=-therapy. Compared with whole gland therapy, focal cryoablation has comparable biochemical recurrence-free survival, but better preservation of urinary continence and sexual function. However, further clinical trials are needed for patient selection, operating techniques, assessment of outcome assessment, follow-up modalities and long-term efficacy.

Laparoscopic radical prostatectomy is the first choice for the treatment of localized prostate cancer, but urinary incontinence is one of the common postoperative complications. In particular, early urinary incontinence occupies the high incidence and seriously affects the postoperative life and physical and mental health of patients. In order to improve the early urinary control after radical prostatectomy, the “Sandwich” urethral reconstruction technique was firstly adopted by us, and the preliminary research results have been obtained and reported. This paper focuses on introducing the theoretical basis, technique and skills of the “Sandwich” urethral reconstruction.

Prostate cancer is the most common malignancy in men worldwide. Locally advanced prostate cancer is characterized by extracapsular extension(pT_3a), invasion of the seminal vesicles(pT_3b), invasion of adjacent organs 山 东 大 学 学 报 (医 学 版)57卷1期 -姚旭东.局部晚期前列腺癌手术治疗策略及疗效 \=-(T₄), and/or positive regional lymph node but no distant metastasis. Locally advanced prostate cancer shows remarkably malignant behavior and a high rate of recurrence and metastasis. In the past, surgical treatment was considered unfavorable for locally advanced prostate cancer due to the high positive surgical margin rates and increased complication rates. However, improvements in surgical techniques and combined endocrine therapy have enabled the outcomes for these patients as compared to local radiotherapy or radiotherapy combined with endocrine therapy. This paper reviews the rationality and advantages, prognosis, extensive lymph node dissection, and complications of surgical treatment in patients with locally advanced prostate cancer.

The incidence of prostate cancer in China has been increasing in recent years, and most cases have already reached the advanced stage when the diagnosis is confirmed. Although many patients are initially sensitive to androgen deprivation therapy(ADT)and experience temporary tumor regression, nearly all will develop castration-resistant prostate cancer(CRPC), which is difficult to cure and thus has poor prognosis. New therapies for CRPC remains an urgent need. The emergence of precision medicine and high-throughput sequencing of cancer genomes makes molecular typing of CRPC patients possible. This article reviews the molecular typing of prostate cancer and development of precision medicine in the treatment of CRPC.

Objective To improve the value of salvage lymph node dissection for patients treated with radical prostatectomy(RP)with biochemical recurrence. Methods The clinical data of 3 typical cases treated with ^99mTc-prostate-specific membrane antigen(PSMA)single photon emission computed tomography(SPECT)/CT guided salvage lymph node dissection during 2015 and 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. Results In case 1, the prostate specific antigen(PSA)control was not satisfactory after RP. PSMA SPECT/CT showed suspicious lymph node metastases near the left iliac blood vessels. After extended pelvic lymphadenectomy, the PSA level decreased to 0.2 ng/mL for 8 months and then increased again. In case 2, the PSA level increased to 22 ng/mL after RP. PSMA SPECT/CT showed suspicious retroperitoneal lymph node metastases. After retroperitoneal salvage lymph node dissection, the PSA level decreased to 10 ng/mL in 3 months and then bounced back. In case 3, after radical radiation, the PSA level gradually decreased and 山 东 大 学 学 报 (医 学 版)57卷1期 -宿恒川,等.PSMA SPECT/CT检查引导下的挽救性淋巴结清扫术在生化复发前列腺癌患者治疗中的价值 \=-then increased to 4 ng/mL. PSMA SPECT/CT showed suspicious lymph node metastases near the right iliac blood vessels. After salvage pelvic lymph node dissection plus radiation, the PSA level decreased to less than 0.2 ng/mL for 14 months and then increased. Conclusion For prostate cancer patients with biochemical recurrence, low PSA level and isolated nodal recurrence after RP, PSMA SPECT/CT guided salvage lymph node dissection can alleviate tumor burden and benefit the patients.

Objective To investigate the effects of lentivirus mediated siRNA silencing hippocampal orexin-1 receptor(OX1R)and orexin-2 receptor(OX2R)genes on the spatial learning and memory and the proliferation of dentate gyrus cells in sleep-deprived rats. Methods A total of 40 healthy adult male Wistar rats were screened and randomly divided into cage control group, treadmill control group, sleep deprivation group, lentivirus group and lentivirus mediated group, with 8 rats in each group. Rats in the sleep deprivation, lentivirus and lentivirus-mediated groups ran intermittently on treadmills for 72 hours for sleep deprivation. The spatial learning and memory ability of all rats was investigated with Morris water maze. The numbers of bromodeoxyuridine-labelled(BrdU⁺)cells, and BrdU⁺/NeuN⁺ cells were quantified with a confocal laser-scanning microscope. Results Compared with the treadmill control group, the sleep deprivation group showed significantly prolonged escape latency, decreased times across platform, and reduced numbers of BrdU⁺ and BrdU⁺/NeuN⁺ cells(P<0.05). Compared with the lentivirus group, the lentivirus-mediated group showed shortened escape latency, increased times across platform(P<0.05), and increased numbers of BrdU⁺ and BrdU⁺/NeuN⁺ cells(P< 山 东 大 学 学 报 (医 学 版)57卷1期 -苗素云,等.

Conclusion Sleep deprivation can impair the spatial learning and memory, and inhibit the proliferation of cells in dentate gyrus. Lentiviral mediated siRNA silencing of OX1R/OX2R genes can improve the spatial learning and memory ability of sleep-deprived rats, which may be related to the proliferation and maturation of neural cells in dentate gyrus.

Objective To study the expression characteristics of polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS)susceptibility gene dennd1a in developing embryos and in adult organs of zebrafish, and to establish zebrafish models for studies of the mechanisms underlying PCOS. Methods Using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR)and real-time fluorescence quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(qRT-PCR)techniques, we detected the expression of dennd1a in zebrafish. We also determined the expression pattern of dennd1a gene in zebrafish embryos using whole-mount in situ hybridization(WISH)assays. Results In embryos and juveniles, the expression level of dennd1a increased with age, and in adult animals, the expression was found in different organs. qRT-PCR and WISH showed the expression of dennd1a especially in the nervous system and male reproductive system. Conclusion In early stages of zebrafish development, high expression of dennd1a was found in the nervous system and male reproductive system, indicating this gene may regulate the development and function of the endocrine system and interrupt androgen synthesis and release, thereby inducing PCOS.

Objective To explore the pathogenesis of asthma by predicting the anti-inflammatory targets and related signaling pathway of ephedra therapy based on network pharmacology. Methods The active ingredients of ephedra were searched and screened in TCMSP database. The targets of ingredients were predicted with PharmMapper and molecular docking was performed. Then ingredients-targets network was established and analyzed with cytoscape3.6.1. The anti-inflammatory targets in TTD database were searched to build PPI network, which was merged with the ingredients-targets network to screen anti-inflammatory targets connected with ephedra. The vivo reaction network of ephedra anti-inflammatory targets against asthma was constructed to screen anti-inflammatory targets related to asthma. KEGG enrichment analysis was performed with Enrichr database and cytoscape3.6.1. Results Altogether 23 active ingredients were screened and 156 targets were obtained. Epidermal active growth factor receptor(EGFR), E-selectin(SELE), macrophage migration inhibitory factor(MIF), mitogen-activated protein kinase 14(MAPK14)might be the important anti- 山 东 大 学 学 报 (医 学 版)57卷1期 -陈欧,等.网络药理学预测麻黄治疗哮喘的抗炎作用机制 \=-inflammatory targets of ephedra treatment of asthma. All these pathways had epithelial cell signaling pathways. Conclusion The anti-inflammatory mechanism of ephedra treatment of asthma may be related to EGFR, SELE, MIF, MAPK14 and their signaling pathways. To prevent the exacerbation of asthma, instead of a single pathway or a single target, all these targets and their signaling pathways should be controlled holistically.

Objective To investigate the value of soluble suppression of tumorigenicity 2(sST2)and galectin-3(Gal-3)in heart failure grading and prognosis by evaluating their levels according to New York Heart Association(NYHA)classification. Methods A total of 191 patients with chronic heart failure treated during Apr. 2015 and Jan. 2016 were chosen randomly, including 115 males and 76 females, average(62.36±11.09)years. According to the NYHA criteria and follow-up results, the patients were classified into three groups: non-cardiac events group, rehospitalization group 山 东 大 学 学 报 (医 学 版)57卷1期 -米传晓,等.血清可溶性肿瘤因子2抑制剂、半乳糖凝集素-3蛋白水平在慢性心衰分级及预后中的应用 \=-and death group. Plasma sST2 and Gal-3 levels were measured at admission and every 2 months during follow-up. The incidence of cardiac events were recorded. Results The levels of sST2 and Gal-3 were positively correlated with NYHA classification(r1=0.33, P1<0.001; r2=0.21, P2=0.004), and negatively correlated with left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF)(r1=-0.25, P1=0.001; r2=-0.24, P2=0.002). There were significant differences in sST2 and Gal-3 levels among the three groups (F1=56.76, P1<0.001; F2=31.08, P2<0.001). The level of sST2 was significantly different between the non-cardiac events group and rehospitalization group, between the non-cardiac events group and death group, and between the rehospitalization group and death group(t1=6.15, P1<0.001; t2=11.36, P2<0.001; t3=3.22, P3=0.003). The level of Gal-3 was significantly different between the non-cardiac events group and rehospitalization group, and between the non-cardiac events group and death group(t1=6.28, P1<0.001; t2=5.91, P2<0.001). Gal-3<15.67 ng/mL and sST2< 31.74 ng/mL were the predictive factors of non-cardiac events. sST2>45.031 ng/mL was a predictive factor of recent mortality. Gal-3>21.90 ng/mL and sST2>45.03ng/mL were predictors of shortened survival. Conclusion The levels of Gal-3 and sST2 are somewhat positively correlated with NYHA classification, and can indicate the cardiac function of patients with heart failure. The sST2 level is useful to predict patients' prognosis, including death, rehospitalization or non-cardiac events, while Gal-3 level is useful to predict cardiac events. The combined detection of them is valuable for the diagnosis and prognosis of heart failure.

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic and therapeutic value of flash spiral dual-source CT with low-dose scan for children with superficial vascular anomalies(VAs). Methods For patients with suspected VAs and affluent blood flow pre-detected by ultrasound, CT was performed with high-pitch mode, individualized low-dose scan protocol and three-dimensional reformation. Single-phase scan time, single-phase dose-length product and total dose-length product were recorded, and the effective radiation doses were calculated. Images were diagnosed by two physicians, therapeutic plans were formulated, and the therapeutic efficacy was followed up. Results Altogether 46 lesions were identified in 35 children(mean age of 7.4 years), including 9 with hemangioma(9/35, 25.71%), 14 with arteriovenous malformation(14/35, 40.00%), and 12 with venous malformation(12/35, 34.29%). The average effective radiation doses of a single phase and total procedure were(0.45±0.16)mSV and(1.31±0.42)mSV, respectively. The average scan time of a single phase was(0.69±0.15)s. Conclusion Flash spiral dual-source CT with high-pitch mode, low-dose scan protocol and 3D reformation is an effective modality for imaging VAs with affluent blood flow in children. It can clearly show lesions and significantly reduce the radiation doses at the same time.

Objective To assess the efficacy and safety of direct-acting antiviral(DAA)therapy for hepatitis C after renal transplantation. Methods By a retrospective analysis, we recruited seven patients who were infected with hepatitis C virus(HCV RNA)and treated with direct-acting antiviral agents therapy after kidney transplantation in our transplantation department. Serum HCV RNA, alanine transaminase(ALT), estimate glomerular filtration rate(eGFR)and serum creatinine level were measured at baseline, 2^nd, 4^th, 12^th week of treatment, and 12^th, 24^th, 48^th week after the treatment. Survival rate of these patients at 1 year post-therapy was analyzed. Results Seven kidney graft recipients infected with HCV were enrolled in our study. All these patients were given DAA therapy for 12 weeks. At the end of therapy, HCV RNA was negative in all patients. The serological test had a rapid virologic response(RVR)of 100%(7/7), SVR12, SVR24 were 100%, and ALT at 2^th week of treatment had improvement compared with that before treatment. ALT levels remained stable thereafter; eGFR and blood muscle levels remained stable throughout the study period. Conclusion During the 1 year follow-up period, the therapy for patients infected with hepatitis C virus after kidney transplantation is safe and effective, and kidney function after transplantation was relatively stable during the research period.

Objective To explore the risk factors and treatment strategies of postpancreatoduodenectomy hemorrhage(PPH). Methods The clinical data of 424 patients who underwent pancreatoduodenectomy(PD)during Jan. 1, 2005 and Dec. 31, 2017 were retrospectively analyzed to evaluate the risk factors and treatment strategies of the occurrence of PPH. The chi-square test and logistic regression were used for univariate and multivariate analyses. Results PPH occurred in 60 patients, 9 of whom died, and the mortality was 2.12%(9/424). Of these 9 patients, 6 died due to hemorrhage. Univariate analysis showed that complications such as hypertension, pancreatic fistula, biliary fistula, and intra-abdominal infection were related risk factors of PPH(χ²=7.832, 28.491, 7.086, 25.378, respectively, P<0.05). Logistic multivariate analysis showed that complications such as hypertension, intra-abdominal infection and pancreatic fistula were independent risk factors of PPH(OR=2.242,3.068, 2.953, respectively, 95%CI=1.169-4.300, 1.501-6.274, 1.491-5.849, respectively, P<0.05). Conclusion Complicated hypertension, pancreatic fistula, and intra-abdominal infection are the independent risk factors of PPH. The keys to prevent PPH are to maintain stable blood pressure, reduce pancreatic fistula and intra-abdominal infection perioperatively. In case of PPH, the choice of treatment strategies should be determined according to the onset, location and severity of hemorrhage.
