Objective To explore the effect of online health education by family physician using the wearable devices, and provide the basis in theory and practice to improve the level of primary health care in community. Methods A total of 132 community residents (78 for male and 36 for female, all of them are WeChat user) with hypertension in one residential area who had regularly participated in the activity of volunteer blood pressure measurement organized by community health service center in wujiaochang street from November 2015 to February were chosen as the participants. The residents who wore the wearable device given by the community hospital uniformly were set as the study group (60 people), while the remaining 72 residents were set as the control group. Both groups received the daily online health education provided by the family physicians through their smartphone. We compared the diversity of health cognition, controlling behavior and controlling results to blood pressure of both groups before and after the studyrelatively, then we comprehensively analyzed the effect of use of wearable devices in family physicians ' online health education. SPSS 18.0 was used for data analysis. The categorical data of two groups were compared with chi-square test and the comparison of continuous data was performed with t test. Results Totally 114 community residents were qualified in the study, and the initial backgrounds of study group and control group had no significant difference. After receiving the online health education information for three months, both groups achieved improvement on the cognition and related self-control behavior of hypertension except for several items, and the study group did better than control group in most items. The physical examination showed that the systolic blood pressure of the study group after the intervention [(131.46 ± 12.89) mmHg] (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) was lower than before [(137.24 ± 12.27) mmHg] and the difference was significant (t=9.2, P<0.01); the diastolic blood pressure of the study group after the intervention [(78.29±8.91) mmHg] was lower than that of before intervention [(80.75±10.25) mmHg] and the difference was significant (t=2.3, P<0.05). Meanwhile, after intervention the systolic blood pressure of study group [(131.46 ± 12.89) mmHg] was lower than that of control group [(133.27 ± 12.7) mmHg] and the intervention was significant (t=2.1, P<0.05). Conclusion Long-term use of wearable devices help family physicians improve the effect of health education, consequently the community hospitals are responsible to enhance the input and management of the informatization of family physicians' service, and assist them to broaden the form and content of health education.

Objective:To explore the incidence and risk factors of severe bleeding after percutaneous renal biopsy (PRB) in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD).Methods:The study was a retrospective cohort analysis. The data were collected from patients with advanced CKD who were hospitalized in the Department of Nephrology, Nanfang Hospital, Southern Medical University and underwent PRB between January 2010 and December 2020. Severe bleeding after PRB was defined by any of the following criteria: a postoperative hemoglobin decrease of ≥20 g/L within 48 hours, a maximum diameter of perirenal hematoma ≥5 cm postoperatively, or the need for posterior pituitary hormone, blood transfusion, or renal vascular intervention post-surgery. The occurrence of severe bleeding following PRB served as the primary endpoint for this study. Logistic regression model was used to analyze the risk factors associated with severe bleeding in patients with advanced CKD undergoing PRB.Results:A total of 895 patients aged (46.1±14.1) years were encompassed in the study. Among them, 60.1%(538/895) were male, 15.9%(142/895) were afflicted with diabetes, and 57.9%(518/895) suffered from hypertension. The estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was (40.1±13.2) ml?min -1?(1.73 m 2) -1, and the 24-hour urine protein excretion was 2.5(1.1, 4.9) g. After PRB, 22.9%(205/895) of the patients encountered severe bleeding, including 30 patients (14.6%) who received postoperative somatostatin, 10 patients (4.9%) who underwent postoperative blood transfusion, 1 patient (0.5%) who underwent postoperative renal vascular intervention for hemostasis, and no fatalities occurred. Compared to the non-severe bleeding group, patients in the severe bleeding group after PRB exhibited a higher proportion of hypertension [64.4%(132/205) vs. 55.9%(386/690), χ2=4.627, P=0.031]. Additionally, preoperative serum creatinine levels and mean arterial pressure were significantly elevated [(193.9±106.6) μmol/L vs. (180.8±102.6) μmol/L, t=-2.559, P=0.011; (95.8±10.9) mmHg vs. (93.9±11.0) mmHg, t=-2.134, P=0.033]. Furthermore, platelet counts were lower in the severe bleeding group [(227.5±70.3) ×10 9/L vs. (247.5±74.8) ×10 9/L, t=-3.788, P<0.001]. No statistically significant differences were observed between the two groups regarding age, gender distribution, prevalence of diabetes mellitus, as well as preoperative serum albumin level, hemoglobin concentration, other coagulation function indicators and pathological histological type (all P>0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that body mass index ( OR=0.936, 95% CI 0.891–0.984, P=0.010), eGFR ( OR=0.985, 95% CI 0.971–0.999, P=0.034), serum albumin level ( OR=1.041, 95% CI 1.011–1.072, P=0.007), 24 hours urinary protein excretion ( OR=1.092, 95% CI 1.030–1.158, P=0.003), and platelet count ( OR=0.996, 95% CI 0.994–0.999, P=0.002) were independently associated with the severe bleeding following PRB in patients with advanced CKD. In the PRB cohort analyzed, the six most prevalent renal histological types were as follows: IgA nephropathy (46.3%, 414/895), membranous nephropathy (11.1%, 99/895), focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (8.5%, 76/895), diabetic nephropathy (7.6%, 68/895), sclerotic kidney disease (6.9%, 62/895), and vascular sclerosis of the kidneys (4.9%, 44/895). Conclusions:Patients with advanced CKD exhibit a heightened risk of severe bleeding following PRB, estimated at approximately 22.9%. Independent risk factors for the occurrence of severe bleeding complications in these patients include low body mass index, reduced eGFR, decreased platelet count, elevated serum albumin, and increased urinary protein level.

Male infertility (MI) and male sexual dysfunction (MSD) can often coexist together due to various interplay factors such as psychosexual, sociocultural and relationship dynamics. The presence of each form of MSD can adversely impact male reproduction and treatment strategies will need to be individualized based on patients’ factors, local expertise, and geographical socioeconomic status. The Asia Pacific Society of Sexual Medicine (APSSM) and the Asian Society of Men’s Health and Aging (ASMHA) aim to provide a consensus statement and practical set of clinical recommendations based on current evidence to guide clinicians in the management of MI and MSD within the Asia-Pacific (AP) region. A comprehensive, narrative review of the literature was performed to identify the various forms of MSD and their association with MI. MEDLINE and EMBASE databases were searched for the following English language articles under the following terms: “low libido”, “erectile dysfunction”, “ejaculatory dysfunction”, “premature ejaculation”, “retrograde ejaculation”, “delayed ejaculation”, “anejaculation”, and “orgasmic dysfunction” between January 2001 to June 2022 with emphasis on published guidelines endorsed by various organizations. This APSSM consensus committee panel evaluated and provided evidence-based recommendations on MI and clinically relevant MSD areas using a modified Delphi method by the panel and specific emphasis on locoregional socioeconomic-cultural issues relevant to the AP region. While variations exist in treatment strategies for managing MI and MSD due to geographical expertise, locoregional resources, and sociocultural factors, the panel agreed that comprehensive fertility evaluation with a multidisciplinary management approach to each MSD domain is recommended. It is important to address individual MI issues with an emphasis on improving spermatogenesis and facilitating reproductive avenues while at the same time, managing various MSD conditions with evidence-based treatments. All therapeutic options should be discussed and implemented based on the patient’s individual needs, beliefs and preferences while incorporating locoregional expertise and available resources.

The fcl gene encodes GDP-fucose synthase, which catalyzes two-step differential isomerase and reductase reactions in the synthesis of GDP-L-fucose from GDP-D-mannose. It also participates in the biosynthesis of amino sugar and ribose sugar, and is one of the key enzymes to regulate the metabolism of sugar and nucleotides in organisms. The presence of fcl gene in Saccharopolyspora pogona was found through sequencing result of genome. The mutant S. pogona-fcl and S. pogona-Δfcl were constructed by gene engineering technology. The results showed that the gene had an effects on growth and development, protein expression and transcriptional level, insecticidal activity, and biosynthesis of butenyl-spinosyn of Saccharopolyspora pogona. The results of HPLC analysis showed that the yield of butenyl-spinosyn in S. pogona-Δfcl was 130% compared with that in S. pogona, which reduced by 25% in S. pogona-fcl. The results of determination of insecticidal activity showed that S. pogona-Δfcl had a stronger insecticidal activity against Helicoverpa armigera than that of S. pogona, while the S. pogona-fcl had a lower insecticidal activity against Helicoverpa armigera compared with S. pogona. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to observe the morphology of the mycelia. It was found that the surface of the S. pogona-Δfcl was wrinkled, and the mycelium showed a short rod shape. There was no significant difference in mycelial morphology between S. pogona-fcl and S. pogona. Aboved all showed that deletion of fcl gene in S. pogona hindered the growth and development of mycelia, but was beneficial to increase the biosynthesis of butenyl-spinosyn and improve insecticidal activity. Whereas the fcl gene over-expression was not conducive to the biosynthesis of butenyl-spinosyn and reduced their insecticidal activity. SDS-PAGE results showed that the difference of protein expression among the three strains was most obvious at 96 hours, which was identified by real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction, the results showed that there were significant differences of related genes in transcriptional levels among the three strains. Based on the results of the study, a network metabolic control map was constructed to analyze the effect of fcl gene on growth and the regulation pathway of butenyl-spinosyn biosynthesis, which provided an experimental basis for revealing the regulation mechanism of butenyl-spinosyn biosynthesis and related follow-up studies.
