Objective:To explore the diagnosis and treatment of ketamine-associated urinary system dysfunction. Methods:Total-ly 56 cases of urinary tract symptoms with the history of ketamine abuse in recent years were retrospectively analyzed. The routine ex-amination and the examination related to the urinary system were given, and individual treatment was undertaken according to different situation. Results: The main symptom of ketamine-asscociated urinary tract dysfunction was lower urinary tract symptom (LUTS). Bladder pathologic biopsy showed different degree of inflammatory change. Imaging examination showed various degree of pathological changes, including reduced bladder capacity, thickened bladder wall, bladder contracture, ureteral stricture and hydronephrosis. Three patients had increased serum creatinine level. Conclusion: Ketamine-asscociated urinary system dysfunction is a disease with LUTS as the main clinical symptom. At the early stage, the disease is reversible with promising treatment outcome. In the progression of the disease, some patients develop irreversible histological changes in the urinary tract, which should be brought to the forefront.

【Objective】 To analyze the clinical efficacy of modified Devine surgery combined with scrotal flap transfer in the treatment of concealed penis (CP) in children and provide reference for the surgical treatment of CP in children. 【Methods】 The clinical data of 54 CP children who underwent surgery in the Department of Urology, Puren Hospital Affiliated to Wuhan University of Science and Technology during Jun.2019 and Sep.2022 were retrospectively analyzed, including 27 patients treated with traditional Devine surgery (control group), and 27 patients in the modified group treated with modified Devine surgery combined with scrotal flap transfer (double degloving). The perioperative indexes, incidence of postoperative complications, penile lengthening and satisfaction of postoperative appearance were recorded. 【Results】 The surgical time of the modified group was longer than the control group [(62.78±5.07) min vs. (55.93±4.83) min ](t=5.085, P<0.05). The exposed length and penile lengthening length with moderate and severe CP patients in the modified group at 1 and 6 months after surgery were higher than those in the control group (P<0.05).The duration of prepuce edema, and the satisfaction of family members of moderate and severe CP children were (6.93±1.54) d vs. (5.56±1.16) d, (2.44±0.62) vs. (2.83±0.38), and (2.44±0.73) vs. (3.00±0) between the control and modified groups (P<0.05). There were no statistically significant difference in intraoperative bleeding volume and incidence of complications between the two groups (P>0.05). 【Conclusion】 In the treatment of CP, modified Devine surgery combined with scrotal flap transfer can produce good effects and appearance, which is of high application value.
