Objective: To investigate the influencing factors of overactive bladder (OAB) in college freshmen and the impacts of OAB on their mental health, quality of life and social interaction. Methods: An epidemiological questionnaire survey was conducted in an anonymous manner on the prevalence of OAB among 5300 freshmen aged 17 to 22 years enrolled in the 2023—2024 academic year in Xinxiang Medical University and Sanquan College of Xinxiang Medical University.The questionnaire included questions on basic information, history of urinary tract infection, constipation, smoking, history of alcohol consumption, history of coffee/strong tea drinking, history of carbonated beverage drinking, redundant prepuce, phimosis, holding urine, chronic insomnia, self-rating anxiety scale (SAS), quality of life score (QoL), and social avoidance and distress scale (SADS).The influencing factors of OAB were analyzed with multivariate logistic regression analysis.The subjects were grouped according to whether they had OAB, and the differences in SAS, QoL and SADS between the OAB group and non-OAB group were compared.The impacts of OAB on the anxiety level, quality of life, and social interaction were analyzed with multiple linear regression analysis. Results: The overall prevalence rate of OAB was 4.9% (244/5018).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the history of urinary tract infection (OR=0.177), constipation (OR=0.636), smoking (OR=0.582), alcohol consumption (OR=0.685), coffee/strong tea drinking (OR=0.387), carbonated beverage drinking (OR=0.631), redundant prepuce (OR=0.673), phimosis (OR=0.311), urine holding (OR=0.593), and chronic insomnia (OR=0.256) were influencing factors for the occurrence of OAB (P＜0.05).The OAB group had higher SAS score [(41.18±6.54) vs. (38.61±6.36)], QoL score [(3.65±1.20) vs. (2.79±0.95)], social avoidance score [(6.25±1.86) vs. (5.86±1.51)], social distress score [(6.27±1.59) vs. (5.97±1.32)], and total SADS score [(12.51±2.35) vs. (11.84±2.01)] than the non-OAB group (P＜0.05).The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that OAB could independently affect the scores of QoL, SAS, and SADS.The OAB group had higher scores of QoL, SAS, and SADS compared with the non-OAB group (P＜0.001). Conclusion: History of urinary tract infection, constipation, smoking, alcohol consumption, coffee/strong tea drinking, carbonated beverage drinking, redundant prepuce, phimosis, urine holding, and chronic insomnia are influencing factors for the occurrence of OAB in male college students.Moreover, OAB has negative impacts on their mental health, quality of life, and social interaction.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze clinical characteristics and prognosis of B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) patients with IKZF1 deletion. METHODS: 72 patients with B-ALL admitted to our hospital from April 2020 to January 2023 were selected, IKZF1 deletion were detected, and clinical characteristics and prognosis were analyzed. RESULTS: Among the 72 patients, a total of 32 patients (44.4%) were identified with IKZF1 deletions (IKZF1 ⁺ ). There was no statistically significant difference in basic clinical data between patients with normal IKZF1 (IKZF1 ^-) and those with IKZF1 ⁺ (P >0.05). The proportion of patients with IKZF1 ⁺ in Ph⁺ group was significantly higher than that in Ph^- group (P < 0.05). The main types of IKZF1 ⁺ were exon 1-8 deletion (34.4%) and exon 4-7 deletion (31.2%). The median OS and PFS of IKZF1 ^- patients were significantly longer than those of IKZF1 ⁺ patients (OS: 26.0 months vs 16.0 months, χ ²=23.094, P < 0.05; PFS: 26.0 months vs 16.0 months, χ ²=11.150, P < 0.05). Among IKZF1 ⁺ patients, the median OS of patients who received allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) was significantly longer than that of patients who did not receive allo-HSCT (no reached vs 15.0 months, χ ²=5.685, P < 0.05). CONCLUSION IKZF1 deletion is a risk factor affecting the prognosis of B-ALL patients.

Objective: To explore the clinical application value of neural network technology,and to screen the clinical early warning indicators of severe hand-foot-mouth disease(HFMD) by constructing a back propagation neural network(BPNN) model. Methods: The clinical data of children with HFMD admitted to the Department of Infectious Diseases and Pediatrics of the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinxiang Medical University from January2019 to January 2023 were collected.The data were divided into 70% training samples and 30 % test samples using SPSS Modeler 18.0.The BPNN model and Logistic model were constructed to compare and evaluate the prediction accuracy and screening effect of the model. Results: The clinical data of 589 children were collected and analyzed,including 324 cases in the mild group and 265 cases in the severe group.The prediction accuracy of the test set(n=178) of BP neural network model and Logistic regression model was 82.02% and 84.83%,respectively.The area under the ROC curve(95% CI) was 0.791(0.749-0.834) and 0.625(0.577-0.674),respectively.Among the predictive variables output by the BPNN model,the top five factors that had the greatest impact on the grouping were highest body temperature,duration of fever,glutamyl transpeptidase,aspartate aminotransferase,and globulin.There were 3 of the top 10 overlaps in the importance of the predictive variables output by the two models,which were the highest body temperature,duration of fever and limb shaking. Conclusion The BPNN model and Logistic regression model perform well in screening and verifying the risk factors of severe hand-foot-mouth disease,but the comprehensive prediction performance of BP neural network model is better.The top five influencing factors of severe HFMD screened by the BPNN model are the highest body temperature,duration of fever,glutamyl transpeptidase,aspartate aminotransferase and globulin.

ObjectiveTo analyze the long-term trends of the disease burden of diabetes attributed to metabolic factors in China from 1990 to 2019, and provide scientific recommendations for diabetes prevention and control in China. MethodsDescriptive analysis was conducted on the disease burden data of diabetes attributed to metabolic factors in China from 1990 to 2019, obtained from GBD 2019, encompassing death form diabetes, disability-adjusted life years (DALY), years of life lost (YLL), and years lived with disability (YLD). Joinpoint regression models were employed to analyze the long-term trends in mortality and DALY rates. Furthermore, the study examined the impact of two metabolic risk factors, high fasting plasma glucose (FPG) levels and high body mass index (BMI) levels, on the disease burden of diabetes. ResultsFrom 1990 to 2019, the overall standardized mortality and DALY rates attributed to metabolic factors for diabetes in the general population in China showed an upward trend, with both average annual percent changes (AAPCs) of 0.1% in the total population. The trend was upward in males with AAPCs of 0.9% and 0.6%, while it was downward in females with AAPCs of -0.4% and -0.3%. As age increased, the disease burden of diabetes attributed to metabolic factors showed an upward trend, with high FPG and high BMI ranking as the top two attributing risk factors. The disease burden of diabetes attributed to metabolic factors was higher in Chinese males than females. ConclusionThe disease burden of diabetes attributed to metabolic factors is increasing among the overall population and particularly among males, while the burden for female is declining. There is a need to increase intervention efforts for males aged 65 and above, provide scientific guidance on residents’ diet and lifestyle habits, and control blood glucose and body weight.

[Objective] To investigate the impacts of voiding positions on urinary flow measurement (UFM) and post voided residual (PVR) in young males, to explore a better voiding position, and to provide reference for the clinical application of UFM. [Methods] A total of 43 male medical students (22-28 years old, all healthy with no lower urinary tract symptoms) from the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinxiang Medical College were enrolled.UFM was recorded in standing position, forward-bentding sitting position and sitting position, respectively.PVR was determined with B-ultrasound immediately after each voiding.Voided volume (VV), maximum urine flow rate (Qmax), average urine flow rate (Qave) and PVR were compared. [Results] In the standing, forward-bending sitting, and seating positions the VV were 211.6 (169.5, 265.9) mL, 206.8 (173.5, 262.8) mL, and 203.7 (175.9, 260.0) mL, respectively, with no significant difference (P=0.486); the Qmax were (26.00±2.33) mL/s, (26.41±2.12) mL/s, and (23.50±2.52) mL/s, respectively; the Qave were (14.03±2.21) mL/s, (14.27±2.18) mL/s, and (11.77±1.89) mL/s, respectively; the PVR were (9.97±2.26) mL, (9.43±1.97) mL and (12.10±3.28) mL, respectively.The Qmax and Qave in standing position and forward-bending sitting position were significantly higher than those in the sitting position, while the PVR was lower than that in the sitting position, with statistically significant difference (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in Qmax, Qave and PVR between the forward-bending sitting and standing positions (P>0.05). [Conclusion] Standing position and forward-bending seating position are beneficial for emptying the bladder, and these two positions are recommended for young men to urinate as the first choice.

Objective To investigate the expression and mechanism of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) GHRLOS2 in colorectal cancer tissues and cells. Methods Real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to detect the expression levels of GHRLOS2 and microRNA-33b-5p (miR-33b-5p) in colorectal cancer tissues or cells. Overexpressing of GHRLOS2 in HCT116 and SW480 colorectal cancer cell lines were constructed, and the effects of overexpression of GHRLOS2 on the migration and invasion abilities in HCT116 and SW480 cell lines were detected by wound healing assay and Transwell assay. Glucose content in cells of overexpressing GHRLOS2 and control cells was detected using a glucose detection kit. Western blot was used to detect the expression level of PCK1 protein in cells. The targeted binding relationship between miR-33b-5p and PCK1 was predicted based on bioinformatics methods. Results The qRT-PCR results showed that the expression level of GHRLOS2 in colorectal cancer tissue samples was lower than that in adjacent non-cancerous tissues, and was lower in colorectal cancer cells than that in normal colon epithelial cells (P < 0.05). The expression of GHRLOS2 was correlated with grade classification, staging, and lymph node metastasis (P < 0.05). The expression level of miR-33b-5p in colorectal cancer tissues was higher than that in corresponding adjacent non-cancerous tissues (P < 0.001). The results of wound healing assay, Transwell assay, and glucose content detection showed that overexpression of GHRLOS2 significantly inhibited the invasion, migration, and glucose metabolism of colorectal cancer cells. Overexpression of GHRLOS2 inhibited the expression level of miR-33b-5p; GHRLOS2 functioned as a molecular sponge for miR-33b-5p, and PCK1 was a target of miR-33b-5p; overexpression of GHRLOS2 competitively bound to miR-33b-5p, thereby promoting increased expression of PCK1. Conclusion The expression of GHRLOS2 is downregulated in colorectal cancer tissues and cells, and it may regulate the invasion, migration, and glucose metabolism of colorectal cancer cells through the miR-33b-5p/PCK1 pathway, making it a potential biological target for targeted therapy of colorectal cancer.

Cerebral hemorrhage is a serious cerebrovascular disease with high morbidity and high mortality, for which timely diagnosis and treatment are crucial. Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is a functional imaging technique which is able to detect abnormal changes of electrical property of the brain tissue at the early stage of the disease. However, irregular multi-layer structure and different conductivity properties of each layer affect image reconstruction of the brain EIT, resulting in low reconstruction quality. To solve this problem, an image reconstruction method based on an improved densely-connected fully convolutional neural network is proposed in this paper. On the basis of constructing a three-layer cerebral model that approximates the real structure of the human head, the nonlinear mapping between the boundary voltage and the conductivity change is determined by network training, which avoids the error caused by the traditional sensitivity matrix method used for solving inverse problem. The proposed method is also evaluated under the conditions with or without noise, as well as with brain model change. The numerical simulation and phantom experimental results show that conductivity distribution of cerebral hemorrhage can be accurately reconstructed with the proposed method, providing a reliable basis for the diagnosis and treatment of cerebral hemorrhage. Also, it promotes the application of EIT in the diagnosis of brain diseases.

【Objective】 To investigate the current situation and related factors of emotional and behavioral problems in children with diurnal urinary incontinence (DUI), in order to provide reference for clinical treatment and psychological intervention. 【Methods】 During Sep.2019 and Mar.2020, a survey was conducted in six primary schools in a county of Henan Province using the method of cluster sampling. The survey included general data and current DUI and urination-related problems, Strengths and Difficulties Scale (SDQ), and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). 【Results】 Of the 4 500 questionnaires distributed, 4 120 were collected, and 3 912 were qualified for statistical analysis. The overall prevalence of DUI was 3.6%. The detection rate of abnormal emotion and behavior in the DUI group was 48.2%, which was significantly higher than that in the non-DUI group (12.6%) (P<0.05). The scores of emotional symptoms, conduct problems, hyperactivity, peer communication problems and SDQ were significantly higher in the DUI group than in the control group (P<0.05). The results of multivariate analysis showed that gender, academic achievement, DUI times, caregivers, caregivers’ education level, family education style and sleep disorder were influencing factors of emotional and behavioral problems in DUI children (P<0.05). The total score of SDQ was positively correlated with the total score of PSQI (P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 The detection rate of emotional and behavioral abnormalities is high in DUI children, which is related to gender, academic achievement, DUI times, caregivers, education level of caregivers, family education style and sleep disorders.

AIM: To compare the effectiveness and complications of treating rhegmatogenous retinal detachment(RRD)with foldable capsule body(FCB)and scleral buckling(SB).METHODS: The clinical data of 81 patients(82 eyes)with RRD who underwent surgery at our hospital from March 2019 to April 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. The differences in retinal reattachment rate, best-corrected visual acuity, the absorption of subretinal fluid, postoperative discomfort and incidence of complications between the two treatments were compared.RESULTS: The retinal reattachment rate was 96% in the FCB group and 92% in the SB group, with no significant difference between the two groups(P>0.05). The best corrected visual acuity of the affected macular eyes was different in the both groups(P<0.01). Both groups effectively promoted the absorption of subretinal fluid. The operation time of FCB group was 16.50(12.75, 25.00)min, while it was 38.00(36.25, 41.75)min in the SB group(P<0.001). Patients in the FCB group also had significantly lower eyelid swelling and pain symptoms than those in the SB group(P<0.001). The visual analogue scale(VAS)score at 1d after operation was 1.00(0.00, 2.00)in the FCB group and 3.00(2.00, 3.00)in the SB group(P<0.001).CONCLUSION: FCB is a safe and effective surgical method to treat RRD that can alleviate patient's pain. Furthermore, FCB has a significantly shorter operation time and milder postoperative adverse reactions than SB.

BACKGROUND: LY01005 (Goserelin acetate sustained-release microsphere injection) is a modified gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist injected monthly. This phase III trial study aimed to evaluated the efficacy and safety of LY01005 in Chinese patients with prostate cancer. METHODS: We conducted a randomized controlled, open-label, non-inferiority trial across 49 sites in China. This study included 290 patients with prostate cancer who received either LY01005 or goserelin implants every 28 days for three injections. The primary efficacy endpoints were the percentage of patients with testosterone suppression ≤50 ng/dL at day 29 and the cumulative probability of testosterone ≤50 ng/dL from day 29 to 85. Non-inferiority was prespecified at a margin of -10%. Secondary endpoints included significant castration (≤20 ng/dL), testosterone surge within 72 h following repeated dosing, and changes in luteinizing hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, and prostate specific antigen levels. RESULTS: On day 29, in the LY01005 and goserelin implant groups, testosterone concentrations fell below medical-castration levels in 99.3% (142/143) and 100% (140/140) of patients, respectively, with a difference of -0.7% (95% confidence interval [CI], -3.9% to 2.0%) between the two groups. The cumulative probabilities of maintaining castration from days 29 to 85 were 99.3% and 97.8%, respectively, with a between-group difference of 1.5% (95% CI, -1.3% to 4.4%). Both results met the criterion for non-inferiority. Secondary endpoints were similar between groups. Both treatments were well-tolerated. LY01005 was associated with fewer injection-site reactions than the goserelin implant (0% vs . 1.4% [2/145]). CONCLUSION: LY01005 is as effective as goserelin implants in reducing testosterone to castration levels, with a similar safety profile. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT04563936.
