Looking Ahead in Renal Cell Carcinoma: Integrating New Agents in the Armamentarium of the Urologist

Urologists play a pivotal role in many aspects of the care of patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC). However, until recently, in some European countries, they have rarely been involved in the systemic treatment of this disease or in the design of clinical trials. This is undoubtedly set to change with the emergence of new oral, molecularly targeted therapies for RCC. Sorafenib (Nexavar^®; Bayer Healthcare, West Haven, CT, USA) is one such therapy, which has already been shown to be efficacious and well tolerated for the treatment of RCC. Although targeted agents show great promise for the treatment of RCC, their precise role in the treatment of metastatic disease, and in adjuvant and neoadjuvant settings has yet to be defined. Drawing from their extensive experience of RCC, urologists will be instrumental in the design and application of clinical studies to define the role of targeted therapies in all settings of RCC and, ultimately, to integrate targeted therapies into clinical practice. Through increased understanding of the molecular pathways involved in RCC, research into diagnostic and prognostic markers, and commitment to clinical trials, urologists can be at the forefront of this progress.

糖皮质激素诱导性股骨头坏死模型的血管改变

目的　探讨在糖皮质激素诱导股骨头坏死过程中血管形态的改变与髓腔内脂肪填塞的关系。　方法　 12～ 18个月龄的健康日本大耳白兔 5 2只 ,按 2 5mg·kg-1·d-1注射地塞米松建立股骨头坏死模型 ,通过血管铸型扫描电镜观察、墨汁灌注切片光镜观察及图像分析等方法观察用药中和停药后股骨头病理和血管形态的变化。　结果　用药 2周出现股骨头髓腔内脂肪填塞 ,窦状隙血管因脂肪细胞压迫变细 ,血管铸型、墨汁灌注切片显示了血管表面压迹。病变随用药时间的延长而加重 ,窦状隙血管逐渐失去其结构特征。图像分析示股骨头内血管面积进行性下降 ,8周约为对照组的1/ 4。停药 6周负重区髓腔内仍存在明显脂肪化 ,血管纤细、稀少。实验 4周 ,股骨头内出现典型骨坏死灶。随时间的延长 ,坏死灶增大、股骨头坏死程度加重。　结论　髓腔内脂肪填塞是导致糖皮质激素诱导性股骨头坏死中缺血损害的重要病理因素之一 ,尤其在股骨头坏死的早期起着非常重要的作用

Regional lumbar sagittal mobility; measurement by flexicurves

A technique is described for assessing lumbar sagittal mobility, which distinguishes between the motion of the upper and lower lumbar regions. The method employs a draughtsman's flexible curve and requires the location of three specific spinal landmarks. Validation procedures were performed which show that the method is capable of recording ‘regional’ sagittal mobility and correlates well with other methods. The intra- and inter-observer accuracy of the method was explored and the results show it to be reproducible to less than 9% for the same observer and 15% for different observers. The flexicurve technique is inexpensive and simple both to learn and to use.
