Objective To explore the clinical effects of different types of transurethral resection of prostate in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH)complicated with diabetes mellitus.Methods Ninety-four patients with BPH complicated with type 2 diabetes mellitus admitted to Taizhou Municipal Hospital from January to December 2021 were randomly divided into control group and observation group,with 47 cases in each group.The control group underwent transurethral vaporization resection of prostate,and the observation group underwent transurethral plasmakinetic resection of prostate.The blood sugar,nerve growth factor(NGF),urodynamic indexes and complications of two groups were compared.Results During the operation,the blood sugar in observation group was significantly lower than that in control group(P<0.05).The rate of NGF positive cells in observation group was significantly lower than that in control group(P<0.05).One month after operation,the maximum urine flow rate and bladder compliance in observation group were significantly higher than those in control group,and residual urine volume was significantly lower than that in control group(P<0.05).Within one month after operation,the incidence of complications in observation group was significantly lower than that in control group(P<0.05).Conclusion Transurethral plasmakinetic resection of prostate for BPH patients complicated with diabetes mellitus can reduce the influence of operation on blood sugar,improve detrusor function and urodynamics,improve the therapeutic effect and reduce the incidence of complications.

ObjectiveTo explore the effect of oleanolic acid (OA) on water metabolism in mice with water-dampness retention caused by spleen deficiency and the mechanism. MethodThe 60 SPF Kunming (KM) mice were randomized into blank group (n=10) and modeling group (n=50). Through long-term living in damp place and irregular diet, water-dampness retention caused by spleen deficiency was induced in modeling mice. Then the model mice were randomly classified into model group, natural recovery group, and low-dose, medium-dose, and high-dose OA groups. The mice in the blank group, model group, and natural recovery group were given (ig) 10 mL·kg-1·d-1 normal saline, and mice in the low-dose, medium-dose, and high-dose OA groups received 50, 100, 200 mg·kg-1·d-1 OA, respectively. The intervention lasted 7 days. Before and after modeling and administration, the general conditions of the mice were observed and body weight of mice was measured. The water content in feces and tissues was detected with the oven-drying method, and water load index and organ coefficient were measured with the weighing method. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was employed to detect the urinary D-xylose excretion, serum gastrin (GAS), total protein (TP), albumin (ALB), total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), interleukin-6 (IL-6), antidiuretic hormone (AVP), aquaporin 1 (AQP1) in renal medulla, and liver Na+-K+-ATPase. At the same time, OA was docked with ALB, IL-6, AQP1, and Na+-K+-ATPase. ResultCompared with the blank group, the model group showed withered hair, emaciation, laziness, bradykinesia, slow weight growth, infrequent spontaneous activities, high water content in feces and tissues, low weight loss after water loading, high coefficient of each organ (P<0.05, P<0.01). Moreover, the model group had less urinary D-xylose excretion, lower serum levels of GAS, TP, ALB, and HDL-C, higher levels of TC, LDL-C, AVP, and IL-6, lower expression of Na+-K+-ATPase in the liver, and higher expression of AQP1 in renal medulla than the blank group (P<0.05, P<0.01). The three OA groups demonstrated better general conditions, faster weight gain, more frequent spontaneous activities, lower water content in feces and tissues, larger weight loss after water loading, and lower coefficient of each organ than the model group (P<0.05, P<0.01). Moreover, compared with the model group, the three OA groups had high D-xylose excretion, high serum levels of GAS, TP, ALB, and HDL-C, low serum levels of TC, LDL-C, AVP, and IL-6, high expression of Na+-K+-ATPase in liver, and low expression of AQP1 in renal medulla (P<0.05, P<0.01). The recovery in each OA group was better than that in natural recovery group. Molecular docking results also confirmed that OA had high binding affinity with ALB, IL-6, AQP1, and Na+-K+-ATPase. ConclusionOA can alleviate the abnormal water metabolism in mice with water-dampness retention caused by spleen deficiency, which lays a basis for its potential clinical application.

OBJECTIVE To explore the material basis and mechanism of expectorant and cough relief effects of the fruits of Phellodendron chinense var. glabriusulum Schneid. METHODS The expectorant and cough relief effects of volatile oil and water decoction of the fruits of P. chinense var. glabriusulum Schneid. were studied by ammonia water cough induction and drug expectorant model mice experiments; GC-MS and UPLC-MS technologies were used to identify its volatile oils and non-volatile components of the fruits of P. chinense var. glabriusulum Schneid. The active ingredients, core targets and pathways of expectoration and cough relief were analyzed by network pharmacology. RESULTS The volatile oil (0.8, 0.2 g/kg, calculated by volatile oil) and water decoction (12, 3 g/kg, calculated by crude drug) of the fruits of P. chinense var. glabriusulum Schneid. both had obvious expectorant and cough relief effects, and showed obvious dose-dependent relationship. A total of 38 volatile oil components were identified from the medicinal herbs, and the relative percentage contents of 8 components were greater than 1%, such as α -pinene, myrcene, β -caryophyllene, germanene D, isospathulenol; a total of 69 non-volatile oil components were identified, mainly including phenolic compounds, alkaloids, and flavonoids. The active ingredients screened from the identified components included 13 compounds such as α-pinene, myrcene, chlorogenic acid, luteolin, berberine. There were a total of 55 intersection targets with diseases, and the core targets were tumor necrosis factor (TNF), epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA), serine/threonine kinase proteins (AKT1) and Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4). The molecular docking results showed that the active ingredients and the core targets had good binding ability. GO functional analysis found that the targets were significantly enriched in biological processes such as the reaction affecting lipopolysaccharides, the positive regulation of peptidyl serine phosphorylation, and the positive regulation of the biosynthesis process of nitric oxide. KEGG pathway enrichment analysis found that the targets were significantly enriched in the signaling pathways such as cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, proteoglycans in cancer. CONCLUSIONS Fruits of P. chinense var. glabriusulum Schneid. have obvious expectorant and cough relief effects, and its material basis may be α-pinene, myrcene, chlorogenic acid, luteolin, berberine, etc., and mainly act on TNF, EGFR, VEGFA, AKT1, TLR4 and its significantly enriched signaling pathway.

The dental operative microscope has been widely employed in the field of dentistry, particularly in endodontics and operative dentistry, resulting in significant advancements in the effectiveness of root canal therapy, endodontic surgery, and dental restoration. However, the improper use of this microscope continues to be common in clinical settings, primarily due to operators' insufficient understanding and proficiency in both the features and established operating procedures of this equipment. In October 2019, Professor Jingping Liang, Vice Chairman of the Society of Cariology and Endodontology, Chinese Stomatological Association, organized a consensus meeting with Chinese experts in endodontics and operative dentistry. The objective of this meeting was to establish a standard operation procedure for the dental operative microscope. Subsequently, a consensus was reached and officially issued. Over the span of about four years, the content of this consensus has been further developed and improved through practical experience.
