Objective:To determine distribution of fungal florae of candial balanoposthitis (CBP),the relatioship between antibiotics administration and candial infection and the major source of opportunistic pathogens.Methods:The fungal strains were collected and identified,and the history of antibiotic administration was reviewed.Results:①Foreign fungi were predominant pathogens of CBP;②Dysbacteriosis induced by antibiotics stimulated the growth of foreign fungi,which resulted in CBP;③There was a positive relationship between fungal distribution of male patients and their sexual partners.Conclusion:In order to reduce the incidence of CBP safe coition and reasonalbe administration of antibiotics should be emphasized.

Objective:To investigate the changing trends in cardiac function following xenogeneic heterotopic heart transplantation of multi-gene edited pig hearts and assess the impact of recipient immune responses on donor heart, laying experimental groundwork for the clinical application of gene editing technology.Methods:On December 16, 2023, xenogeneic heterotopic heart transplantation was performed between pigs and rhesus monkeys. Functional status of the graft under post-transplantation load conditions and recipient immune indicators were observed.Results:The recipient monkeys survived for 40 days with satisfactory functionality of both donor and recipient hearts, and no hyperacute or acute immune rejection reactions were observed.Conclusion:Multi-gene editing technology provides potential for xenotransplantation, yet further exploration is needed for its clinical application.
