Objective: To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of pudendal nerve modulation (PNM) in the treatment of female pudendal neuralgia (PN),so as to promote the clinical application of this technique. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 20 female PN patients who failed conservative treatment at Gongli Hospital during Nov.2020 and Oct.2023.All patients underwent simultaneous PNM and sacral nerve modulation (SNM) with the assistance of 3D printing navigation.Dual-stage test electrodes for PNM and SNM were implanted,followed by alternate therapeutic trial for each modality.Secondary conversion rates and longitudinal outcomes,including visual analogue score (VAS),patient health questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9),and quality of life (QoL) scores were compared preoperatively,post-stage Ⅰ,and at 3,6,and 12 months post-stage Ⅱ. Results: All operations were successful.After the trial phase,the secondary conversion rate for PNM was significantly higher than that for SNM; 16 patients (16/20,80%) chose the second-phase PNM implantation surgery,3 (3/20,15%) chose second-phase SNM implantation,and 1 (1/20,5%) had electrodes removed due to ineffective results from both trials.Further assessment revealed that the improvements in VAS,PHQ-9,and QoL scores for PNM patients were significantly better than those for SNM patients after the first phase of surgery and at 3,6 and 12 months after the second-phase conversion (P<0.05).No complications such as electrode migration or infection were observed during the follow-up of 12-15 months. Conclusion: PNM provides more effective relief of pain symptoms and improvements in depressive states for female PN patients compared to SNM.With the assistance of 3D printing navigation,the operation is simple and safe,and offers stable therapeutic effects.It is worthy of clinical promotion and application.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy for interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS). Methods This single-center prospective study involved 97 IC/BPS patients treated in our hospital during Sep.2023 and Apr.2025, who underwent transurethral bladder injection of PRP. The injections were administered once a month for four sessions. The global response assessment (GRA) score,24-hour urinary frequency, maximum single voiding volume, visual analogue scale (VAS) score, O'Leary score, pelvic pain, urgency and frequency (PUF) score, and Zung self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) score were analyzed. Results All 97 patients completed four injections. The GRA score,24-hour urinary frequency, VAS score, O'Leary score and PUF score were improved significantly after treatment (P<0.007). Intraoperative bladder capacity with significant improvement were observed after the first injection (P<0.01), and the maximum urine output were observed after the fourth injection (P<0.007). The SAS score was not significantly improved. Conclusion Repeated PRP injections can effectively alleviate bladder pain, improve frequent and urgent urination symptoms, and increase the bladder capacity.

Objective:To investigate and explore the clinical significance of the expression levels and differences of autophagy related genes ATG3, ATG5, ATG12, ATG16, LC3 and Beclin-1 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of patients with refractory moderate-to-severe rheumatoid arthritis (RA), who were treated with abatacept.Methods:Peripheral blood samples of 30 patients admitted to the affiliated hospital of North Sichuan Medical College from June 2020 to June 2022 were collected before and after abatacept treatment. Autophagy associated genes were detected by RT-qPCR and, autophagy associated proteins were detected by Western Blot. Correlation analysis with clinical parameters was performed. SPSS26.0 and GraphPad Prism 9.0 were used for statistical analysis, Independent sample t-test was used for comparison between groups, and non-normal distribution data were expressed as M ( Q1, Q3), Spearman correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between variables, and P<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results:①Compared with the mRNA expression levels of ATG12(0.007 6±0.005 9), ATG16(0.003 1±0.002 2) and LC3(0.038 2±0.017 1) before treatment, after 24 weeks treatment with abatacept, the mRNA expression levels of ATG12 (0.011 4±0.003 1) and ATG16 (0.004 2±0.000 7) increased ( t=-2.49, P=0.042; t=-2.15, P=0.038), and the mRNA expression level of LC3 (0.022 6±0.008 3) was decreased ( t=3.28, P=0.003) after 24 weeks of abatacept treatment.②After 24 weeks, the expression level of ATG16 mRNA in the remission group (0.004 8±0.000 8) was higher than that in the non-remission group (0.003 8±0.000 3) ( t=-3.41, P=0.003). The expression level of LC3 mRNA in remission group (0.027 3±0.007 3) was lower than that in non-remission group (0.017 9±0.006 5) ( t=3.69, P=0.017). ③ATG5 mRNA expression level was positively correlated with TJC, ESR and anti-CCP antibody ( r=0.75, P=0.049; r=0.43, P=0.044; r=0.97, P=0.011). The expression level of ATG12 mRNA was negatively correlated with DAS28, ESR and hsCRP ( r=-0.46, P=0.025; r=-0.51, P=0.026; r=-0.41, P=0.031). The expression level of ATG16 mRNA was positively correlated with ESR and hsCRP ( r=0.50, P=0.030; r=0.40, P=0.024). The expression level of Beclin-1 mRNA was significantly higher than TJC, RF-IgG and anti-CCP antibody were negatively correlated ( r=-0.51, P=0.025; r=-0.42, P=0.035; r=-0.81, P=0.043). The expression level of LC-3 mRNA was positively correlated with ESR and hsCRP ( r=0.55, P=0.028; r=0.56, P=0.024). ④Compared with the protein expression level before the treatment, of ATG12 (0.675 3±0.036 3), which (1.547 7±0.080 5) increased after 24 weeks of treatment ( t=-7.80, P=0.001). Compared with the protein expression levels of ATG16 (0.817 1±0.089 0), LC3Ⅱ (0.807 1±0.072 1) and IL-1β (1.129 7±0.118 9) before treatment, 24 weeks after, the protein expression levels of ATG16 (0.424 6±0.103 5), LC3Ⅱ (0.353 7±0.056 9) and IL-1β (0.346 7±0.050 8) decreased ( t=2.62, P=0.042; t=2.88, P=0.045; t=2.25, P=0.038) 24 weeks after treatment. Conclusion:Autophagy related genes is associated with several clinical presentations and disease activity. The results of this study suggest that autophageius are involved in the pathogenesis of RA. Abatacept may be a potential autophage modulator by regulating autophagy related genes including ATG12、ATG16 and LC3.

Objective:To test a new method with thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs) to determine the β-ray and γ-ray doses of β-γ mixed radiation fields.Methods:TLDs for personal dose monitoring were irradiated in the reference radiation fields of β-rays ( 90Sr/ 90Y, 85Kr) and γ-rays ( 137Cs). Across the range of 2.0-15.0 mSv, the linearity of TLD response and normalized response with respect to 137Cs were determined at the depths of Hp(10) and Hp(0.07). Using TLD detector readings at the depths of Hp(10) and Hp(0.07), β- and γ-ray doses in the mixed radiation fields were determined, and the result were verified. Results:For Hp(10) and Hp(0.07) under γ-ray exposure and Hp(0.07) under β-ray exposure, the coefficient of determination ( R2) were all >0.998. For the 90Sr/ 90Y source and 85Kr source, the average values of response values normalized with respect to 137Cs at different doses were 1.14 and 0.18, respectively; and the normalized response values derived from the slope values of the dose-response curves for the two sources were 1.17 and 0.18, respectively. The ratios of measurements of Hp(10) to Hp(0.07), kR, for the 85Kr source were close to 0, while the kR values for the 137Cs source were close to 1. Using the average value of kR and the slope value of kR for calculation, the maximum relative deviations between the calculated values and conventional values for Hp(10) γ, Hp(0.07) γ, and Hp(0.07) β were 6.1% and 6.0%, respectively. Conclusions:This method can be applied for the assessment of β-ray and γ-ray doses in β-γ mixed radiation fields of a single β source and single γ source.

Objective:To investigate the status quo of psychological contracts and influencing factors among members of the "1+N" family doctor teams in Shenzhen and to explore the impact of psychological contracts on job burnout.Methods:This cross-sectional study was conducted from September 30 to October 31, 2022 among 361 members of 92 family doctor teams from 92 community health service centers which provided family doctor team service in Shenzhen city. A self-designed general information questionnaire, an employee psychological contract questionnaire (including organizational responsibility and personal responsibility dimensions), and a job burnout scale (including emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and personal accomplishment dimensions) were used in the study. T-tests, one-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation analysis, and multiple linear regression analysis were used to analyze the influencing factors of psychological contracts and job burnout.Results:Among 361 respondents, there were 299 females (82.8%) and 62 males (17.2%), and a higher proportion of general practitioners (37.5%, 129/361) and nurses (41.8%, 151/361). The total score of psychological contracts among the 361 respondents was (141.6±19.5), with organizational responsibility scoring (70.6±11.2) and personal responsibility scoring (71.0±9.3). On the job burnout scale, emotional exhaustion scored (17.89±6.82), depersonalization scored (6.51±2.54), and personal accomplishment scored (30.95±5.70). General practitioners scored lower in organizational responsibility and personal responsibility compared to other members ( F=7.341,3.119, all P<0.05), and higher in emotional exhaustion and depersonalization ( F=7.637, 2.415, all P<0.05). Members with≤5 years of work experience scored lower in personal responsibility and personal accomplishment ( F=3.656, 4.205, all P<0.05). Correlation analysis showed that scores of organizational responsibility and personal responsibility were negatively correlated with levels of emotional exhaustion and depersonalization ( r=-0.618, -0.526, all P<0.01), ( r=-0.404, -0.393, all P<0.01), and positively correlated with personal accomplishment ( r=0.500, 0.558, all P<0.01). Multiple linear regression analysis indicated that organizational responsibility negatively affected emotional exhaustion and depersonalization ( β=-0.554, -0.274, all P<0.01), and positively affected personal accomplishment ( β=0.172, P<0.05). Personal responsibility positively affected personal accomplishment ( β=0.404, P<0.01). Conclusions:The study demonstrates that general practitioners in family doctor teams in Shenzhen city have lower psychological contract levels and are more prone to emotional exhaustion and depersonalization; members with≤5 years of work experience have lower personal responsibility and accomplishment. The results indicate that enhancing organizational responsibility can reduce job burnout of members in family doctor teams.

Objective:To investigate the risk factors and prognostic value of the textbook outcome (TO) in patients with advanced gastric cancer (AGC) who underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by surgical resection.Methods:This is a retrospective cohort study. A total of 253 patients with AGC who underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy combined with gastrectomy and D2 lymphadenectomy in the Department of Gastric Surgery, Fujian Medical University Union Hospital from January 2010 to December 2019 were retrospectively included. There were 195 males and 58 females, aged (60.3±10.0) years (range: 27 to 75 years). The patients were then divided into the TO group ( n=168) and the non-TO group ( n=85). Multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the independent predictors of TO. Univariate and multivariate Cox analysis were used to analyze independent prognosis factors for overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS). Propensity score matching was performed to balance the TO and non-TO groups, and the Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate survival rates and draw survival curves. Results:Among the 253 patients, 168 patients (66.4%) achieved TO. The Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group score ( OR=0.488, 95% CI: 0.278 to 0.856, P=0.012) and ypN stage ( OR=0.626, 95% CI:0.488 to 0.805, P<0.01) were independently predictive of TO. Multivariate analysis revealed that TO was an independent risk factor for both OS ( HR=0.662, 95% CI: 0.457 to 0.959, P=0.029) and DFS ( HR=0.687, 95% CI: 0.483 to 0.976, P=0.036). After matching, the 5-year OS rate (42.2% vs. 27.8%) and the 5-year DFS rate (37.5% vs. 27.8%) were significantly higher in the TO group than in the non-TO group (both P<0.05). Furthermore, patients in the non-TO group benefited significantly from postoperative chemotherapy (both P<0.05), but those in the TO group did not (both P>0.05). Conclusion:TO is an independent prognosis factor in patients undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy and surgery for AGC and is associated with postoperative chemotherapy benefits.
