Objective To evaluate the efficacy of combination therapy with M and α receptors antagonist for the treatment of double-J stent related lower urinary tract symptoms.Methods From May 2013 to May 2014,131 cases,including 71 male and 60 female cases,were accepted the doubte-J stent indwelling after the ureteral lithotripsy,laparoscopic ureterlithotomy and pyeloureteroplasty.Their data was retrospectively reviewed.The age ranged from 29 to 64 years old,mean (47.4 ± 15.2) years old.They were divided into 4 groups randomly,including group A (control group,n =30),no drugs were taken;group B (tamsulosin group,n =34),0.2 mg tamsulosin was taken qd;group C (solifenacin group,n =32),5 mg solifenacin was taken qd;group D (tamsulosin combined with solifenacin group,n =35),0.2 mg tamsulosin and 5mg solifenacin were taken qd.The IPSS scores,QOL scores and visual analogue pain scale (VAPS) scores were assessed pre-operation,1 week after operation,and 4 weeks after operation,respectively.Results All patients were followed-up until the end of this study.In each time point,the IPSS scores in group A was 9.01 ± 2.79,13.18 ± 3.79 and 13.79 ± 3.76,respectively.In group B,the IPSS scores were 7.89 ± 4.29,12.39 ±3.90 and 12.21 ±3.87,respectively.In group C,the IPSS scores were 7.94 ±4.27,12.70 ±4.01 and 11.98 ±4.69,respectively.In group D,the IPSS scores were 8.21 ±3.18,11.97 ±5.03 and 8.17 ± 3.25,respectively.Significant difference in total IPSS scores and obstruction symptom scores were shown between pre-and post-operation (P < 0.05).Comparing to other groups,group D exhibited the significant improvement in IPSS scores 1 and 4 weeks after the operation (P <0.05).4 weeks after operation,the QOL scores in group D was significantly lower than that in other groups (P < 0.05).While the VAPS scores didn t show significant differences among those groups (P > 0.05).Conclusion M and α receptors antagonist combination therapy can significantly improve lower urinary tract symptom due to indwelling double J stents.

Objective To investigate the Laparoscopic management for Nutcraker Syndrome(NCS) with resection of fibrous ring and placing extravascular stent.Methods This was a retrospective analysis of clinical data and treatment process of cases from March 2010 to February 2015 in urology department,affiliated hospital of Guizhou medical university.Five cases with NCS,4 males and 1 female;age were 28-40 years,mean age was 35 years,all cases were afflicted with gross hematuria and flank pain,the history of gross hematuria were 6-72 months.3 cases were afflicted with proteinuria.Duplex ultrasound scanning before surgery revealed the compressed left renal vein (LRV) between the aorta and the superior mesenteric artery(SMA),with peak velocity 110-132 cm/s,an average of 121 cm/s.The flow velocity of LRV in the renal hilum were 18-25 cm/s,an average of 21 cm/s.CT scanning showed that the stricture segment diameter of LRV were 1.2-2.5 mm,an average of 1.8 mm;and the max diameter of proximal dilatation of the LRV in renal hilum were 8.3-15.2 mm,an average of 10.1 mm.The ratio between the dilated segment inner diameter and the stricture segment were 3.4-9.5.Bleeding from the left ureteral orifice was detected by cystoscopy in 3 cases.5 cases were treated by resection of fibrous ring and placing extravascular stent with Laparoscopic management,and the average length of extravascular stent was 4.0 cm.Results The operation was successful in the 5 cases.The average operation time was 83 min.The average blood loss was 65 ml.Hematuria gradually reduce 5-6 days and resolved 7-20 days after surgery in 5 patients.Proteinuria was disappeared successful 2 weeks after surgery in 3 patients.There was no recurrence at 8-24 months' follow-up.3 days after surgery Doppler ultrasound showed the stricture segment diameter of LRV were 3.8-5.6 mm,an average of 4.9 mm;the ratio between the dilated segment inner diameter and the stricture segment decreased were 1.1-2.0,an average of 1.6;the peak velocity of compressed LRV were 25-45 cm/s,an average of 34 cm/s.6 months after surgery,CTA result showed no LRV compression in the aortomesenteric region;the max diameter of LRV in renal hilum were 7.9-9.8 mm and 6.0-8.8 mm in the aortomesenteric region of LRV.Conclusion Etiology of NCS exist a fibrous ring around the left renal vein outflow of the inferior vena cava besides the commonly anatomic extrinsic compression on the LRV as it crosses between the superior mesenteric artery and the aorta.The Laparoscopic management for NCS with resection of fibrous ring and placing extravascular stent is an effective minimally invasive treatment.

Objective:To investigate the sedentary behavior of the elderly in Taiyuan nursing homes and analyze its influencing factors, so as to provide theoretical basis for the construction of targeted intervention programs for sedentary behavior.Methods:A total of 215 elderly people in 6 nursing homes in Taiyuan from October 2019 to January 2020 were investigated by general data questionnaire and sedentary behavior questionnaire. Descriptive analysis, single factor analysis and multiple linear stepwise regression analysis were used to explore the influencing factors of sedentary behavior.Results:The sedentary time of the elderly in Taiyuan nursing homes was (8.85±2.81) h/d, and 83% (174/209) of the elderly had a sedentary time≥6 h/d. Gender, age, type of disease, type of residence, sedentary hobby and environmental safety in homes were the important factors influencing sedentary behavior of the elderly in nursing homes( P<0.05). Conclusions:The sedentary behavior of the elderly in nursing homes is not optimistic. Targeted intervention measures should be taken to improve the sedentary behavior of the elderly and promote the healthy aging of the elderly in nursing homes.

ObjectiveTo analyze the epidemiological characteristics of varicella in Minhang District, Shanghai from 2013 to 2022, and to evaluate the impact of adjusting the varicella vaccination program to a two-dose regimen and its inclusion in the Shanghai immunization program on the incidence of varicella. MethodsData on reported varicella cases from 2013 to 2022 in Minhang District were collected. Interrupted time series analysis and segmented regression models were used to analyze the changes in varicella incidence before and after the adjustment of varicella immunization strategies. ResultsFrom 2013 to 2022, the average annual incidence of varicella was 76.58/100 000, with the highest incidence in 2017 (119.21/100 000) and the lowest in 2022 (27.02/100 000). The varicella incidence exhibited seasonal patterns with peaks occurring from March to June and October to January of the following year. Prior to the adjustment of varicella immunization strategies (2013‒2017), the varicella incidence showed an upward trend (z=2.20, P=0.03), while after the adjustment (2018‒2022), a adownward trend was observed (2018‒2022) (z=-2.25, P=0.02). Interrupted time series analysis showed that following the adjustment of varicella immunization strategies, an immediate change of -33.91/100 000 (t=-4.35, P<0.001) in varicella incidence was observed, and the incidence slope was -17.59/100 000 with a decline of 28.61/100 000 (t=-12.16, P<0.001) compared to before inclusion. ConclusionThe incidence of varicella in Minhang District, Shanghai from 2013 to 2022 exhibits distinct seasonal patterns. After adjusting the varicella vaccination program to a two-dose regimen and incorporating it into the immunization program, the second dose of varicella vaccine administration substantially increases. As a result, the rising trend of varicella incidence is effectively controlled, and the incidence level decreases significantly, showing a sustained downward trend.
