Objective:To explore the etiology of male urethral stricture,analyze the therapeutic strategies of urethral stricture,and summarize the complicated cases.Methods:The data of 183 patients with urethral stricture were retrospectively analyzed,including etiology,obstruction site,stricture length,therapeutic strategy,and related complications.Results:The mean age was 49.7 years,the average course was 64.7 months,and the constituent ratio of51 to 65 years old patients was 38.8% (71/183).The traumatic injury of patients accounted for 52.4% (96/183),in which the pelvic fracture accounted for 35.5% (65/183) and the straddle injury accounted for 16.9% (31/183).There were 54 cases of iatrogenic injury (29.5%).The posterior urethral stricture accounted for 45.9% (84/183),followed by the anterior urethral stricture (44.8%,82/183) and the stenosis (6.6%,12/183).A total of 99 patients (54.1%) received the end to end anastomosis,and 40 (21.9%) were treated with intracavitary surgery,such as endoscopic holmium laser,cold knife incision,endoscopic electroknife scar removal,balloon dilation,and urethral dilation.In the patients over 65-years old,the urethral stricture rate was 14.8% and the complication rate (70.4%) for transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) was significantly higher than that of all samples (P< 0.01).Conclusion:Both the etiology of male urethral stricture and the treatment strategy have changed and the incidence of traumatic and iatrogenic urethral stricture has increased in recent 3 years.The main treatment of urethral stricture has been transformed from endoscopic surgery into urethroplasty.

OBJECTIVE To analyze the influencing factors of voriconazole trough concentration and adverse drug reactions (ADR) in renal transplant recipients. METHODS Data from inpatients who received voriconazole and therapeutic drug monitoring in our hospital between January 2022 and August 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into renal transplant group and non-renal transplant group based on transplantation status. A 1∶1 propensity score matching (PSM) method was used to balance differences in baselines between the two groups. Voriconazole trough concentrations, target attainment rate, clinical efficacy, and ADR were compared between the two groups. Multiple linear regression (backward) was used to analyze the factors influencing voriconazole trough concentrations in the renal transplant group. Univariate analysis and binary Logistic regression were used to identify independent risk factors for ADR in the renal transplant group. RESULTS After PSM, 48 patients were included in each group. There were no statistically significant differences in the mean voriconazole trough concentration, target attainment rate or efficacy rate between the two groups (P>0.05). The total incidence of ADR was significantly higher in the renal transplant group than in the non-renal transplant group (P<0.05). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that age, average daily dose, pulmonary infection, total bilirubin during medication, day-1 loading dose, use of the original drug, concomitant immunosuppressant use, and the occurrence of ADR were factors influencing voriconazole trough concentration in renal transplant patients (P<0.05). Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that abnormal direct bilirubin during medication [OR=7.747, 95%CI (1.334, 45.005), P=0.023] was an independent risk factor for ADR in renal transplant patients receiving voriconazole. CONCLUSIONS Age, average daily dose, pulmonary infection, use of the original drug, day-1 loading dose, total bilirubin during medication, concomitant immunosuppressant use, and the occurrence of ADR are the factors influencing voriconazole trough concentration in renal transplant patients. Furthermore, patients with abnormal direct bilirubin during medication are more susceptible to ADR.
