OBJECTIVES: Carcinoma in situ (CIS) is a nonpapillary, high-grade, potentially aggressive, and unpredictable manifestation of transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) of the bladder. The aim of this study was to assess whether presence of concomitant CIS has a detrimental effect on cancer control after radical cystectomy. METHODS: The records of 812 consecutive patients who underwent radical cystectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy for bladder TCC at three US academic centres were reviewed. Ninety-nine of 812 (12%) patients had CIS only at radical cystectomy and were excluded from the analyses. RESULTS: Three hundred thirty of the 713 (46.3%) patients had concomitant CIS at radical cystectomy. Patients with TCC involvement of the urethra were more likely to have concomitant CIS than not (61% vs. 40%, p=0.018). Concomitant CIS was significantly more common in patients with lower cystectomy stages and higher tumour grades. In univariate, but not multivariate, analysis, patients with concomitant CIS versus those without were at increased risk of disease recurrence (p=0.0371). In patients with organ-confined disease, concomitant CIS was an independent predictor of disease recurrence (p=0.048 and p=0.012, respectively) but not bladder cancer-specific mortality (p=0.160 and p=0.408, respectively) after adjusting for the effects of standard postoperative features. CONCLUSIONS: Concomitant CIS in the cystectomy specimen is common, and patients with concomitant CIS are at increased risk of urethral TCC involvement. The presence of concomitant CIS appears to confer a worse prognosis in patients with non-muscle-invasive TCC treated with radical cystectomy. 相似文献

BackgroundWe assessed the association of serine protease inhibitor Kazal type I (SPINK1) expression with clinicopathologic outcomes in urothelial carcinoma of the bladder (UCB) patients treated with radical cystectomy (RC).Materials and methodsTissue microarrays comprising 438 consecutive UCB patients treated with RC between 1988 and 2003 and 62 cases of normal urothelium controls were evaluated for SPINK1 protein expression by immunohistochemistry (IHC). Semiquantitative evaluation was performed by 2 pathologists blinded to clinical outcomes (loss of expression: <50% cells or intensity 0–2).ResultsIn normal urothelium, SPINK1 expression was noted in umbrella cells of 32 of 62 controls (52%); 254 RC patients (57.9%) exhibited loss of SPINK1 expression. Loss of SPINK1 expression was significantly associated with higher pathologic stages (P = 0.002) and presence of lymph node metastasis (P = 0.04). At a median follow-up of 130 months (IQR: 98.4), loss of SPINK1 expression was associated with an increased risk of disease recurrence (P = 0.02) and cancer-specific mortality (P = 0.03). On multivariable analysis that adjusted for the effects of standard clinicopathologic parameters, SPINK1 was not an independent predictor of disease recurrence (P = 0.09) or cancer-specific mortality (P = 0.12).ConclusionsOver half of UCB patients treated with RC exhibit loss of SPINK1 expression. Loss of SPINK1 correlates with features of biologically aggressive UCB. Although SPINK1 expression did not have independent prognostic value in RC patients, it may serve as a biomarker for tumor staging and may be useful as an adjunct in clinical decision-making. 相似文献

As marijuana (MJ) legalization is increasing, kidney transplant programs must develop listing criteria for marijuana users. However, no data exist on the effect of MJ on kidney allograft outcomes, and there is no consensus on whether MJ use should be a contraindication to transplantation. We retrospectively reviewed 1225 kidney recipients from 2008 to 2013. Marijuana use was defined by positive urine toxicology screen and/or self‐reported recent use. The primary outcome was death at 1 year or graft failure (defined as GFR<20 mL/min/1.73 m2). The secondary outcome was graft function at 1 year. Using logistic regression analyses, we compared these outcomes between MJ users and non‐users. Marijuana use was not associated with worse primary outcomes by unadjusted (odds ratio 1.07, 95% CI 0.45–2.57, P=.87) or adjusted (odds ratio 0.79, 95% CI 0.28–2.28, P=.67) analysis. Ninety‐two percent of grafts functioned at 1 year. Among these, the mean creatinine (1.52, 95% CI 1.39–1.69 vs 1.46, 95% CI 1.42–1.49; P=.38) and MDRD GFR (50.7, 95% CI 45.6–56.5 vs 49.5, 95% CI 48.3–50.7; P=.65) were similar between groups. Isolated recreational MJ use is not associated with poorer patient or kidney allograft outcomes at 1 year. Therefore, recreational MJ use should not necessarily be considered a contraindication to kidney transplantation. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to examine the effects of small changes in PaCO(2) on hemodynamic parameters after uncomplicated heart surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. DESIGN: This was a prospective, randomized crossover study. SETTING: A large academic medical center. PARTICIPANTS: Twenty-four subjects who were scheduled for elective cardiac surgery were enrolled in this study. INTERVENTIONS: Each subject underwent the normal procedures that are associated with cardiac surgery. General anesthesia, including muscle relaxation, were continued in the immediate postoperative period. Measured tidal volumes and minute ventilation were kept constant for the duration of the study. Target PaCO(2) concentrations of 30, 40, and 50 mmHg were achieved by adding varying amounts of exogenous CO(2) gas to the inhaled oxygen. Various measurements were made at each target PaCO(2), including cardiac index, mixed venous oxygen saturation, blood pressure, heart rate, and pulmonary artery pressure. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Twenty-four patients were enrolled. Seven were withdrawn before commencement of the study. The cardiac index increased when the PaCO(2) was increased from 30 to 40 mmHg (p < 0.001) and remained unchanged between 40 and 50 mmHg. Mixed venous oxygen saturation increased (p < 0.001) with elevations in PaCO(2) up to 50 mmHg and decreased again when the PaCO(2) was returned to 30 mmHg. The blood pressure decreased (p < 0.001) with increasing PaCO(2). The pulmonary pressure increased (p < 0.001) with elevations in PaCO(2). No patient became hemodynamically unstable or had any arrhythmias. CONCLUSION: The findings of this study suggest that unless there is a specific contraindication to mild hypercapnia, such as pulmonary hypertension or hemodynamic instability, concerns about mild respiratory acidosis should not prevent weaning of sedation and mechanical ventilation after uncomplicated heart surgery. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To examine the association between the interval from the last transurethral resection (TUR) to radical cystectomy (RC) and bladder cancer-specific outcome, as the decision to proceed to RC for an individual patient is complex, and recent reports suggest an interval from diagnosis to RC of >3 months is associated with adverse outcomes. PATIENTS AND METHODS: The records of 592 patients who had RC were reviewed; the interval from the last TUR was analysed as both a continuous and categorical variable (<3 vs >/=3 months). Logistic regression and survival analyses were used to evaluate the association between the interval to RC with pathological characteristics and clinical outcomes. RESULTS: The mean (sd) actuarial cancer-specific survival was 70.5 (2.3)% and 60.7 (3.2)% at 3 and 7 years, respectively. Overall, the median (range) time from TUR to RC was 1.8 (0.3-11.6) months. The interval to RC analysed as a continuous or categorical variable was not associated with extravesical or nodal disease, lymph node metastases, disease recurrence, overall or cancer-specific survival. The results were similar in the subgroup of 320 patients (54%) with clinically muscle-invasive disease. CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that a reasonable delay from the last TUR to RC is not independently associated with stage progression or with decreased recurrence-free or disease-specific survival. These findings might have important implications for trial design in the ongoing evaluation of neoadjuvant regimens. Nevertheless, we see no reason to advocate anything less than the timely consideration of definitive treatment for patients with high-risk bladder cancer. 相似文献

ObjectiveDementia has been associated with increased complications and mortality in orthopedics and other surgical specialties, but has received limited attention in vascular surgery. Therefore, we evaluated the association of dementia with surgical outcomes for elderly patients with Medicare who underwent a variety of open and percutaneous vascular surgery procedures.MethodsWe reviewed claims data from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services for beneficiaries enrolled in Medicare Part A fee-for-service insurance from January 1, 2011, to December 31, 2011, who underwent inpatient vascular surgery. Only the first surgery during the first admission was considered for analysis. Traditional outcomes (30- and 90-day mortality, intensive care admission, complications, length of stay) and patient-centered outcomes (discharge to home, extended skilled nursing facility [SNF] stay, time at home) were adjusted for patient and procedure characteristics using multilevel linear or logistic regression as appropriate. All analyses were performed using SAS (v9.4, SAS Institute Inc, Cary, NC).ResultsOur study included 210,918 patients undergoing vascular surgery, of whom 27,920 carried a diagnosis of dementia. The average age of the entire cohort was 75.74 years, and 55.43% were male. Patients with dementia were older and had higher rates of comorbidities compared with patients without a dementia diagnosis. The three most common defined classes of intervention excluding miscellaneous ones were cerebrovascular, peripheral arterial, and aortic cases, which jointly accounted for 53.15% of cases. Among all cases, 56.62% were open. Emergent/urgent cases were more frequent amongst those with dementia (60.66% vs 37.93%; P < .001). After adjustment, patients with dementia had increased odds of 30-day mortality (odds ratio [OR], 1.21; P < .0001) and 90-day mortality (OR, 1.63; P < .0001), extended SNF stay (OR, 3.47; P < .0001), and longer hospital length of stay (8.29 days vs 5.41 days; P < .001). They were less likely to be discharged home (OR, 0.31; P < .0001) and spent a lower fraction of time at home after discharge (63.29% vs 86.91%; P < .001). Intensive care admission and inpatient complications were similar between the two groups.ConclusionsDementia is associated with poor traditional outcomes, including increased 30- and 90-day mortality and longer hospital lengths of stay in this large national patient sample. It is also associated with worse patient-centered outcomes, including substantially lower discharge rates to home, less time spent at home after discharge, and higher rates of extended stay in a SNF. These data should be used to counsel patients facing vascular surgery to provide goal-concordant care, particularly to patients with dementia. 相似文献
