Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of nerve-related acupoints electrical stimulation in preventing urinary retention after hemorrhoid surgery. Method Ninety-seven patients were randomized into two groups: the treatment group received nerve-related acupoints electrical stimulation 1 h after Milligan-Morgan hemorrhoidectomy for mixed hemorrhoids, while the control group was taken as a blank control. The incidence of postoperative urinary retention, residual urine volume after the first urination, general urinary condition score, and satisfaction evaluation were compared between the two groups. Result The incidence of postoperative urinary retention and residual urine volume after the first urinary were lower, and the general urination condition and satisfaction evaluation were higher in the treatment group compared to those in the control group. Conclusion Nerve-related acupoints electrical stimulation can prevent and reduce the adverse reactions such as urinary retention after hemorrhoidectomy, and it can effectively protect the bladder function and improve the prognosis.

Reversible post-translational modification of proteins is an important process in the physiological regulation of all tissues, including the heart. Lysine acetylation occurs in all organisms, including prokaryotes, and is regulated by a balance between lysine acetyltransferase (adding acetyl to the ε-amino group of lysine) and deacetylase (acetyl group that removes lysine ε-amino group). The heart is an organ rich in acetylated lysine, but the role of acetylated lysine in the heart remains to be elucidated. Therefore, in this paper, we systematically reviewed the gene list of acetyltransferase and deacetylase in mammalian genome and indicated their mRNA expression. The purpose of this study is to discover the research progress of dynamic regulation of lysine acetylation in heart disease and to provide a theoretical basis for the discovery of molecular targets.
