Abstract Postoperative urinary retention is a common complication after mixed hemorrhoid surgery, referring to the inability of urine in the bladder to be normally expelled, leading to urine retention. This condition not only prolongs the postoperative recovery time and increases medical costs, but may also cause problems such as urinary tract infections and bladder dysfunction. The pathogenesis of urinary retention after mixed hemorrhoid surgery is complex, involving multiple factors such as the type of surgery, anesthesia method, individual differences among patients, postoperative pain management and psychological stress. Although there are various clinical treatment methods, their efficacy varies among individuals. This article reviews relevant literature from 2018 to 2024, analyzing the etiology of urinary retention after mixed hemorrhoid surgery. It summarizes the intervention measures and mechanisms of non-pharmacological treatments, such as physical therapy and analgesic techniques, as well as pharmacological treatments, including anticholinesterase drugs, selective α-receptor blockers and analgesics drugs, so as to provide the reference for the prevention and treatment of urinary retention after mixed hemorrhoid surgery.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect and mechanism of Jingangteng capsules in the treatment of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease （NAFLD）. METHODS Thirty-two SD rats were randomly divided into normal group and modeling group. The modeling group was fed a high-fat diet to establish a NAFLD model. The successfully modeled rats were then randomly divided into model group， atorvastatin group[positive control， 2 mg/（kg·d）]， and Jingangteng capsules low- and high-dose groups [0.63 and 2.52 mg/（kg·d）]， with 6 rats in each group. The pathological changes of the liver were observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining and oil red O staining. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was performed to determine the serum levels of triglycerides （TG）， total cholesterol （TC）， high-density lipoprotein cholesterol （HDL-C）， low-density lipoprotein cholesterol （LDL-C）， alanine transaminase （ALT）， aspartate transaminase （AST）， tumour necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）， interleukin-1β （IL-1β）， IL-6， IL-18. 16S rDNA amplicon sequencing and metabolomics techniques were applied to explore the effects of Jingangteng capsules on gut microbiota and metabolisms in NAFLD rats. Based on the E-mail：591146765@qq.com metabolomics results， Western blot analysis was performed to detect proteins related to the nuclear factor kappa-B （NF-κB）/NOD-like receptor family protein 3 （NLRP3） signaling pathway in the livers of NAFLD rats. RESULTS The experimental results showed that Jingangteng capsules could significantly reduce the serum levels of TG， TC， LDL-C， AST， ALT， TNF-α， IL-1β， IL-6， IL-18， while increased the level of HDL-C， and alleviated the hepatic cellular steatosis and inflammatory infiltration in NAFLD rats. They could regulate the gut microbiota disorders in NAFLD rats， significantly increased the relative abundance of Romboutsia and Oscillospira， and significantly decreased the relative abundance of Blautia （P＜0.05）. They also regulated metabolic disorders primarily by affecting secondary bile acid biosynthesis， fatty acid degradation， O-antigen nucleotide sugar biosynthesis， etc. Results of Western blot assay showed that they significantly reduced the phosphorylation levels of NF-κB p65 and NF-κB inhibitor α， and the protein expression levels of NLRP3， caspase-1 and ASC （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. CONCLUSIONS Jingangteng capsules could improve inflammation， lipid accumulation and liver injury in NAFLD rats， regulate the disorders of gut microbiota and metabolisms， and inhibit NF-κB/NLRP3 signaling pathway. Their therapeutic effects against NAFLD are mediated through the inhibition of the NF-κB/NLRP3 signaling pathway.

Objective: To understand the current situation and influencing factors of comorbidity of depressive and anxiety symptoms among middle school students in Chongqing, so as to provide a scientific basis for formulating a comprehensive strategy for the co prevention of multiple diseases among middle school students. Methods: From September to December 2024, 12 327 middle school students were selected from 6 districts and counties in Chongqing by the combination of stratified cluster sampling and convenience sampling method. The current status of depressive and anxiety symptoms was investigated by using the Center for Epidemiological Survey-Depression Scale (CES-D) and the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7). The Chi-squared test was used to compare the differences between groups with comorbidity of depressive and anxiety symptoms, multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze its related factors, and a nomogram prediction model was drawn. Results: The detection rates of depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms and comorbidity among middle school students in Chongqing were 26.34%, 34.55% and 21.16%, respectively. Among them, the detection rates of the three types of symptoms in girls (29.80%, 40.99%, 25.15%) were all higher than those in boys (23.22%, 28.73%, 17.55%) ( χ 2=68.61, 204.23, 106.51, all P <0.01). Statistical significance was observed in the distribution of depressive and anxious symptoms among middle school students across different gender, academic stage, school district, family type, physical activity levels, parental discipline, smoking, alcohol consumption, sleep deprivation, excessive screen time, Internet addiction, and bullying ( χ 2=14.49-991.46, all P <0.01). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that compared with junior high school students, ordinary high school students had a higher risk of comorbidity ( OR=2.71, 95% CI = 2.41-3.05); girls ( OR=2.17, 95%CI =1.95-2.40), non-core family ( OR=1.20, 95%CI =1.08-1.32), and good neighborhood ( OR=1.16, 95%CI =1.02-1.30), campus bullying ( OR=4.88, 95%CI =4.32-5.50), Internet addiction ( OR=4.77, 95%CI = 3.41 -6.68), parental beating and scolding ( OR=3.18, 95%CI =2.72-3.71), alcohol consumption ( OR=2.10, 95%CI =1.86- 2.37 ), and insufficient sleep ( OR=1.73, 95%CI =1.54-1.95) had higher risks with comorbidity of depression and anxiety symptoms (all P <0.05). A nomogram prediction model was constructed based on significant variables shows that C-index=0.75 (AUC= 0.75 , 95% CI=0.74-0.76, P <0.05), and the model had good predictive performance. Conclusions The current situation of comorbidity of depressive and anxiety symptoms among middle school students in Chongqing is not optimistic. The nomograms can be used to effectively predict the risk of comorbidity of depressive and anxiety symptoms in middle school students.

Globally, over 300 million surgeries are performed each year, and more than 50% of surgeries involve patients aged 65 and older. Aging poses significant challenges to perioperative brain health, as the deterioration of brain structure and function increases susceptibility to postoperative neurological complications. Protecting perioperative brain health remains a worldwide clinical challenge. With senescence, the brain undergoes a progressive decline in homeostasis across various molecular, cellular, and regional functions. Anesthetics and surgical stimuli may accelerate the disruption of brain homeostasis and exacerbate age-related neurodegeneration. This review provides a framework for understanding how anesthesia and surgery can affect brain health in the aging population and contribute to postoperative neurological complications, with a particular focus on perioperative neurocognitive disorder.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the short-term effectiveness of transtibial pull-out technique combined with side-to-side suture technique in treatment of complete radial tear of lateral meniscus body. METHODS: Between May 2020 and August 2023, 15 patients with complete radial tear of lateral meniscus body were repaired by arthroscopic transtibial pull-out technique combined with side-to-side suture technique. There were 11 males and 4 females, with an average age of 25.2 years (range, 15-43 years). Twelve cases were acute injuries and 3 were chronic injuries. All patients had tenderness in the lateral compartment of the knee. No abnormal alignment was observed on the X-ray films of the knee. MRI showed the complete radial tear of lateral meniscus body without associated injuries such as anterior cruciate ligament or cartilage. Preoperative Lysholm score was 44.5±6.4, International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) subjective score was 40.2±8.4, Tegner score was 1.3±1.1, and visual analogue scale (VAS) score for pain was 5.1±1.1. The operation time, incision healing, and complications such as vascular/nerve injury were recorded. During follow-up, the range of motion of the knee and tenderness in the lateral compartment of the knee were observed. The knee function and pain were evaluated using Lysholm score, Tegner score, IKDC subjective score, and VAS score. X-ray films and MRI of the knee were reexamined to assess knee degeneration. RESULTS: The operation time was 60-145 minutes (mean, 89.6 minutes). All incisions healed by first intention, and no complication such as vascular/nerve injury occurred. All patients were followed up 17-56 months (mean, 38.4 months). All patients had no knee extension limitation and 3 cases had tenderness in the lateral compartment of the knee. At last follow-up, the Lysholm score, IKDC subjective score, Tegner score, and VAS score for pain were 85.3±7.8, 82.1±15.7, 4.7±1.2, and 1.5±1.0, respectively, which were superior to those before operation ( P<0.05). Imaging reexamination showed that the meniscus was reset at 1 day after operation, and there was no sign of knee degeneration at last follow-up. CONCLUSION Transtibial pull-out technique combined with side-to-side suture technique can effectively treat the complete radial tear of lateral meniscus body and obtain good short-term effectiveness.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the surgical method and short-term effectiveness of arthroscopy edge-to-edge #-shaped suture in the treatment of the complete radial tear of the lateral meniscus body. METHODS: The clinical data of 13 patients with complete radial tear of lateral meniscus body between May 2020 and August 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 10 males and 3 females, aged 15-38 years (mean, 24.2 years). There were 11 cases of acute injury and 2 cases of chronic injury, with time from injury to admission ranging from 2 days to 5 months. All patients had tenderness in the lateral joint space, and 2 patients with chronic injury had positive McMurray's sign. All patients were treated with arthroscopic edge-to-edge #-shaped suture technique. The knee joint activity and tenderness in the lateral joint space were detected, and the healing of the incision and the occurrence of complications were observed. X-ray films and MRI of the knee joint were performed to evaluate joint degeneration and meniscus healing. Lysholm score, International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) subjective score, Tegner score, and visual analogue scale (VAS) score were used to evaluate the functional recovery before and after operation. RESULTS: The operation time ranged from 46 to 100 minutes (mean, 80.08 minutes). All the incisions healed by first intention, and no complication such as intraoperative vascular and nerve injury or postoperative infection occurred. All 13 patients were followed up 20-59 months (mean, 29.3 months). All patients had no limitation of knee extension and flexion. One patient with chronic injury continued to have tenderness in the lateral space of the knee joint, while the remaining patients had no tenderness, swelling, and locking in the lateral space. Immediate postoperative MRI of knee joint showed continuous recovery of the lateral meniscus. At last follow-up, no degenerative changes were observed in X-ray films of knee joint. Except for 1 patient with chronic injury, the MRI of the other patients showed the healing performance after lateral meniscus suture. Lysholm score, IKDC subjective score, Tegner score, and VAS score all significantly improved when compared with those before operation (P<0.05). CONCLUSION The edge-to-edge #-shaped suture technique can effectively repair the complete radial tear of the lateral meniscus body, and the short-term effectiveness is satisfactory.

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the clinical characteristics and drug resistance profile of invasive non-typhoidal Salmonella (NTS) enteritis in children in Chengdu, China, providing a reference for rational drug use and empirical treatment in clinical practice. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 130 children with invasive bacterial enteritis due to NTS identified by fecal bacterial culture and the results of drug sensitivity tests for NTS in Chengdu from January 2022 to December 2023. RESULTS: NTS infections were mainly observed from April to September (113 cases, 86.9%), with a peak in August (36 cases, 27.7%). Children aged <36 months accounted for 86.2% (112/130) of all cases, and the main symptoms were diarrhea (130 cases, 100%), fever (123 cases, 94.6%), and hematochezia (112 cases, 86.2%). The 130 NTS isolates exhibited a sensitivity rate of 64.6% to ceftriaxone and 63.8% to cefotaxime, and a sensitivity rate of >90.0% to piperacillin-tazobactam and nitrofurantoin (nitrofurans). The detection rate of multidrug-resistant strains was 48.5% (63/130), and the clinical efficacy of third-generation cephalosporins used in 38 patients (29.2%) was inconsistent with the results of drug sensitivity tests. CONCLUSIONS The peak of invasive NTS enteritis in children aged 0-6 years occurs in August in the Chengdu area, with a relatively high incidence rate in children aged <36 months. The situation of drug resistance is severe for NTS, and piperacillin-tazobactam may be an effective option for treating multidrug-resistant NTS infections in children, while nitrofuran antibiotics might be used to treat such infections.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the molecular genetic spectrum of children with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), and explore its correlation with clinical characteristics and prognosis. METHODS: The clinical and molecular genetic data of 116 children with newly diagnosed AML in Wuhan Children's Hospital from September 2015 to August 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. The Fisher's exact test was used to analyze the correlation of gene mutations with clinical features, and Kaplan-Meier curve was used to analyze the influences of gene mutations on the prognosis. RESULTS: NRAS (22%), KRAS (14.9%), and KIT (14.7%) mutations were the most common genetic abnormalities in 116 children with AML. Children with KIT, CEBPA and GATA2 mutations showed a higher median onset-age than those without mutations (all P < 0.05). Children with FLT3-ITD mutation exhibited a higher white blood cell count at initial diagnosis compared to those without mutations (P < 0.05). Children with ASXL2 mutation had lower platelet count and hemoglobin at initial diagnosis than those without mutations (both P < 0.05). KIT mutations were often co-occurred with t(8;21)(q22;q22). There was no significant relationship between gene mutation and minimal residual disease (MRD) remission rate after the first and second induction therapy (P >0.05). KIT and NRAS mutations were not associated with prognosis significantly (P >0.05). The overall survival (OS) rates of children with CEBPA and FLT3-ITD mutations were superior to those without mutations, but the differences were not statistically significant (P >0.05). The 3-year OS rate of 61 children treated by allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation was 89.8%, which was significantly higher than 55.2% of those only treated by chemotherapy (P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Gene mutations are common in children with AML, and next-generation sequencing can significantly improve the detection rate of gene mutations, which can guide the risk stratification therapy. In addition, FLT3-ITD and KIT mutations may no longer be poor prognostic factors.

OBJECTIVE: To study the results, re-donation situation and characteristics of single-reagent reactive blood donors who were put into the reentry strategy in Wuhan area, explore the rationality and effectiveness of the current reentry strategy, and provide data support for the improvement of the reentry process of blood donors. METHODS: From January 2020 to December 2023, blood donors who conform the reentry criteria and voluntarily applied for returning to Wuhan Blood Center were tested and the results were analyzed. According to the reentry strategy, serological testing and nucleic acid testing were carried out in parallel, serological testing was performed by ELISA with reagents from two different manufacturers, and the primary reactive samples were tested by double-well retest, and HBV/HCV/HIV nucleic acid detection was performed by RT-PCR with an individual donor test mode. Supplementary HBcAb testing was applied for HBV single reagent reactivity by chemiluminescence method. Supplementary TP-WB testing was applied for returning blood donors with repeated TP single reagent reactivity. If returning blood donors with HIV single reagent reactivity were repeated single reagent reactivity, the samples were sent to local CDC for confirmatory test. RESULTS: 7 098 blood donors were qualified for reentry, 716 donors voluntarily applied for reentry, 436 donors successfully reentry, 251 donors entered the next round, 29 donors could not reentry. The reentry rates for the past four years were 66.67%（42/63）, 54.73%（81/148）, 60.71%（136/224） and 62.99%（177/281）, respectively. Up to December 31, 2023, 275 donors donated blood again, and the donation rates for past four years were 76.19%（32/42）, 72.84%（59/81）, 61.76%（84/136） and 56.50%（100/177）, respectively. After donating blood, 31 donors were disqualified again by blood screening and subjected to permanent deferral. The results of returning to the team had statistical differences in reentry items, educational level, age, and marriage（P < 0.05）. CONCLUSION The current reentry strategy adopted by the blood donation and supply institution can effectively retain part of blood donors, reduce the negative emotions of blood donors and increase blood resources.
