Prostate cancer is the most common malignant tumor in male urinary system, and the morbidity and mortality rate are increasing year by year. Traditional imaging examinations have some limitations in the diagnosis of prostate cancer, and the advent of molecular imaging probes and imaging technology have provided new ideas for the integration of diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer. In recent years, prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) has attracted much attention as a target for imaging and treatment of prostate cancer. PSMA ligand positron emission tomography (PET) has important reference value in the diagnosis, initial staging, detection of biochemical recurrence and metastasis, clinical decision-making guidance and efficacy evaluation of prostate cancer. This article briefly reviews the clinical research and application progress on PSMA ligand PET imaging in prostate cancer in recent years, so as to raise the efficiency of clinical applications.
ObjectiveTo observe the effectiveness of arthroscopic reconstruction of medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) with a single bundle of autogenous half peroneal longus tendon, and medial displacement of lateral hemitibial tuberosity for the treatment of recurrent dislocation of patella.Methods Retrospectively analyse the clinical data of 24 patients (24 knees) with recurrent patellar dislocation with tibial tuberosity-trochlear groove distance (TT-TG) values more than 15 mm who were admitted between September 2014 and September 2018. Of which 7 were male and 17 were female; aged 16-35 years old with an average of 25.8 years. The disease duration ranged from 15 to 46 months, with an average of 26.7 months. All patients had a history of knee trauma, and a positive result of apprehension test on the affected knee. All patients underwent the surgery of arthroscopic reconstruction of MPFL with a single bundle of autogenous half peroneal longus tendon, and medial displacement of lateral hemitibial tuberosity. Before and after operation, Kujala score was used to evaluate patellofemoral joint function, Lysholm score was used to evaluate knee joint function; CT and MRI were used to measure and compare the changes of congruence angle (CA), patellar tilt angle (PTA), and lateral patella displacement (LPD) in order to evaluate patella stability.ResultsAll incisions healed by first intention, and no infection or neurovascular injury occurred. Deep vein thrombosis of the lower extremities occurred in 2 cases at 4 and 7 days after operation respectively, and the thrombosis disappeared after symptomatic treatment. All the 24 patients were followed up 12-14 months (mean, 12.9 months). During follow-up, no patellar dislocation reoccurred in the affected knee. At last follow-up, the apprehension test was negative in every patients. The TT-TG, CA, PTA, and LPD were significantly improved when compared with those before operation (P<0.05). The Kujala score and Lysholm score at 1 month and last follow-up were significantly better than those before operation, and the above scores at last follow-up were significantly better than those at 1 month after operation (P<0.05). According to Lysholm score, the patients’ knee joint functions were excellent in 13 cases, good in 10 cases, and fair in 1 case, and the excellent and good rate was 95.8%.ConclusionArthroscopic reconstruction of MPFL with a single bundle of autogenous half peroneal longus tendon combined with medial displacement of lateral hemitibial tuberosity has the advantages of minimal invision and reliable effectiveness. It can be used as one of the effective surgical methods for the treatment of recurrent dislocation of patella.
Objective To investigate the value of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) inhibition therapy in postoperative patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma. Methods One hundred and six patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma after total or near-total thyroidectomy were divided into two groups: TSH inhibition therapy group and thyroid hormone replacement therapy group. The non-recurrence and (or) non-metastasis rate in two groups was analyzed retrospectively by Wilcoxon statistical analysis. Results The non-recurrence and (or) non-metastasis rate of 3-, 5- and 10-year in TSH inhibition therapy group were 98.31%, 92.41% and 75.45% respectively, and were higher than those (93.57%, 84.18% and 52.06% respectively) in thyroid hormone replacement therapy group (P=0.046 5). Conclusion TSH inhibition therapy after total or near-total thyroidectomy may be an essential treatment for differentiated thyroid carcinoma patients.
ObjectiveTo compare the long-term outcomes of laparoscopic hepatectomy (LH) and open hepatectomy (OH) in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and to discuss the recurrence patterns of HCC after surgery. MethodsPatients with HCC who underwent hepatectomy and met inclusion and exclusion criteria from January 2015 to December 2018 were retrospectively enrolled, then were divided into LH and OH groups according to surgical methods. The results of HCC recurrence after LH and OH were compared after 1∶1 propensity score matching between the two groups. The potential risk factors for recurrence were assessed by Cox proportional hazards regression and a nomogram was constructed. ResultsA total of 977 patients with HCC who underwent hepatectomy were enrolled. Of these, 385 underwent LH and 592 underwent OH. After 1∶1 propensity score matching, 323 patients were enrolled in each group for analysis. The tumor recurrences were found in 124 patients (38.4%) and 118 patients (36.5%) and the median tumor free survival time was 10 months and 9 months in the LH group and OH group, respectively. The most common recurrence pattern was the intrahepatic recurrence, and the most common treatment was the transarterial chemoembolization. There was no significant difference of the relapse free survival curve between the LH and OH groups (P=0.763). In the entire cohort, no patient had recurrence or metastasis of specimen removal incisions or Trocar pores. No significant differences in the recurrence pattern and treatment between the LH and OH groups (P>0.05). Cox proportional hazards regression analysis showed that the age ≤60 years old, grade 2 of albumin-bilirubin grade, postoperative alpha fetoprotein >8 μg/L, tumor diameter ≥5 cm, multiple tumors, and low differentiation increased the recurrence of HCC after LH (P<0.05). The nomogram including these factors and combining with clinical practice was constructed, its consistent index for predicting the recurrence of HCC after LH was 0.704 [95%CI (0.659, 0.753)]. ConclusionIntrahepatic recurrence is still the most common pattern of postoperative HCC recurrence, and LH doesn’t increase risk of incision recurrence or implantation.
ObjectiveTo investigate the values of serum CEA and CA19-9 in predicting postoperative recurrence and metastasis and prognosis for gastric cancer. MethodsPreoperative serum levels of CEA and CA19-9 were measured by electrochemiluminescence assay in 136 patients with gastric cancer. The relationships of serum CEA level, CA19-9 level to clinicopathologic features, postoperative recurrence and metastasis, and prognosis of gastric cancer were analyzed. Kaplan-Meier method (log-rank test) was used to survival analysis. ResultsThere were 67 patients with postoperative recurrence and metastasis in 136 patients with gastric cancer. The positive rate was 48.5% (66/136) for CEA and 43.4% (59/136) for CA19-9. There was a significant correlation between CEA level and T stage, TNM stage, lymph node metastasis, or vascular invasion (P=0.011, P=0.018, P=0.021, P=0.024). There was a significant correlation between CA19-9 level and T stage or lymph node metastasis (P=0.018, P=0.045). The rate of postoperative recurrence and metastasis was 60.6% (40/66) in positive CEA, 61.0% (36/59) in positive CA19-9, 38.6% (27/70) in negative CEA, and 40.3% (31/77) in negative CA19-9, respectively. The rate of postoperative recurrence and metastasis in the positive CEA or positive CA19-9 was significantly higher than those in the negative CEA or negative CA19-9 (P=0.010, P=0.016). Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that patients with positive CEA or positive CA19-9 had worse survival than those with negative CEA or CA19-9 (P=0.003, P=0.007). ConclusionsCEA and CA19-9 have important values in detecting recurrence and metastasis, predicting patient survival after gastric cancer surgery. Combined analysis of these markers is considered to be helpful for improving the prediction of the postoperative recurrence and metastasis and prognosis of gastric cancer.
