Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of α1-adrenergic blockers for treating young men with primary bladder neck obstruction (PBNO). Methods A retrospective review was done of the presenting symptoms and videourodynamic findings of 22 young men younger than 35 years with PBNO. Mean age was 28 years (range 18 to 35). The presenting symptoms were hesitancy in 21 (95%), weak stream in 17(77%), frequency in 16(73%), urgency in 8(36%) and pelvic pain in 6 (27%). Mean symptom duration was 28(3-62)months. A dose of 4 mg Doxazosion was adminis-tered for at least 6 months. International prostate symptom score(IPSS), Quality of life(QOL), uro-flowmetry, post-void residual urine and blood pressure were assessed before and 6 months after medi-cation. Improved urine flow was defined as at least 3 ml. per second increase in the maximum flow rate. Improved symptom was defined as more than a 40% decrease in IPSS. Successful treatment was defined as improved in urine flow and symptoms. Results Follow-up data were available for 21 of 22 patients. The medication period was 8.7±2.5 months and follow-up duration was 12.3±4.9 months. Mean Ⅰ-PSS decreased from 16.9±3.7 to 10.7±4.5. Mean QOL decreased from 4.3±1.2 to 2.5±1.0. Mean maximum flow rate increased from (9.8±3.5)ml to (14.9±3.6)ml. per second. Mean post-void residual urine decreased from (78.2±35.6)ml to (46.5±19.4)ml. There were significant differences(P<0.01). Treatment was successful in 14 patients (67%). Drug tolerability was good. Mean blood pressure was (110.0±7.9)/ (75.0±5.9)mm Hg and (107.0±8.7)/(72.0±7.1)mm Hg before medicine therapy and after 6 months medication(P>0.05). Conclusions Videourody-namics is the diagnostic gold standard of PBNO. In our experience α1-adrenergic blockers are clinically effective therapy and safety for PBNO and have been well tolerated in young male patients.

Objective To analyze the current status and influencing factors of job competence of clinical nursing teachers.
Methods A total of 673 clinical nursing teachers from 35 second-level and above hospitals in Anhui Province were selected as
research subjects using convenient sampling method. Their job competence was evaluated using the Clinical Nursing Teacher
Post Competency Evaluation Scale. Results The score of job competence of clinical nursing teachers was 87.1±9.7. The results
of multiple linear regression analysis showed that with the increase of service length and clinical teaching years,the job
competence score of clinical nursing teachers increased(all P<0.05). For those who thought the higher the satisfaction with the
teaching atmosphere of the hospital,the hospital teaching training can meet their requirements and the higher the willingness to
accept the teaching training,the higher their job competence score(all P<0.05). Conclusion There is still much room for
improvement in job competence of clinical nursing teachers in Anhui Province. The length of service,clinical teaching years,
hospital teaching atmosphere,teaching training meeting demand,and willingness to accept clinical teaching training are the
influencing factors of job competence of clinical nursing teachers.
