Objective:To investigate the effect of 980 nm semiconductor laser preablation of urethra mucosa at the prostatic tip in small volume benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).Methods:The case data of 120 patients diagnosed with small volume BPH in the Yan′an University Affiliated Hospital from June 2020 to June 2022 were retrospectively analyzed, and they were divided into improved group and conventional group according to different treatment methods, with 60 cases in each group. Patients in the improved group were treated with 980 nm semiconductor laser preablation of urethra mucosa at the prostatic tip, and patients in the conventional group were treated with 980 nm semiconductor laser vaporization of prostate. The sexual function of the patients was evaluated by the international erectile function index-5(IIEF-5) score, erectile hardness score (EHS) and retrograde ejaculation before surgery and 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery. International prostate symptom scale (IPSS), quality of life (QOL) score, the maximum urine flow rate (Qmax) and postvoid residual urine (PVR) were used to evaluate urinary control function. The incidence of urinary incontinence, bladder neck contracture and other complications were compared between the two groups. Measurement data were expressed as mean±standard deviation ( ± s), and t-test was used for comparison between groups. The count data were expressed as cases and percentage, and Chi-square test was used for comparison between groups. Results:There was no significant difference in PVR, Qmax, IPSS score, QOL score, IIEF-5 score and EHS score between two groups ( P>0.05). In terms of PVR, Qmax, IPSS score, QOL score, IIEF-5 score and EHS score at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months after surgery, all these parameters were significantly improved compared with the preoperative, the differences were statistically significant ( P< 0.05). However, there was no significant difference between the two groups ( P> 0.05). There was no significant difference in IIEF-5 score and EHS score between the two groups during postoperative follow-up and before and after operation ( P> 0.05). The incidence of retrograde ejaculation rate in the improved group was lower than that in the conventional group during the follow-up 1, 3, 6 months after surgery, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). In the follow-up 1, 3 months after surgery, the incidence of stress urinary incontinence in the improved group was lower than that in the conventional group, the differences were statistically significant ( P< 0.05). At follow-up 6, 12 months after surgery, the rates of stress urinary incontinence were similar between the two groups, and the difference was not statistically significant ( P> 0.05). In the follow-up 12 months after surgery, there were 2 cases (3.33%) of bladder and neck contracture in the improved group, and 8 cases (13.33%) in the conventional group, the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The effect of 980 nm semiconductor laser preablation of urethra mucosa at the prostatic tip in small volume BPH patients is similar to that of conventional vaporization, and the operation time is short. At the same time, the proximal 1 cm tissue of the verticulae and the integrity of the bladder neck are preserved, and the internal and external sphincter of the urethra are protected, thus improving the immediate postoperative urinary control rate and the incidence of retrograde ejaculation in small volume BPH patients.

【Objective】 To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of targeted drugs in the treatment of metastatic non-clear cell renal cell carcinoma (nccRCC) and to provide guidance for clinical treatment. 【Methods】 All observational studies and randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of nccRCC treated with targeted drugs were retrieved from the PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library and Web of Science. Three independent investigators screened the literature, extracted data and evaluated the quality of literature. The RCTs were evaluated using the Cochrane Handbook. One research with insufficient outcome data (follow-up bias) was assessed as high risk, and the other studies showed low or uncertain risk. The non-RCTs were evaluated with the JBI Quality Assessment Tool, and all studies displayed a low risk of bias. The data were analyzed with Stata 17.0 software. 【Results】 A total of 16 studies involving 989 patients were included. Meta-analysis showed that the objective response rate (ORR) was 12.6% (95%CI:8.1%-17.9%), the total disease control rate (DCR) was 65.3% (95%CI:58.3%-72.1%), the total median progression-free survival (PFS) was 5.80 (95%CI:4.69-6.91) months, and the median overall survival (OS) was 15.93 (95%CI:12.17-19.68) months. In subgroup analysis, the total ORR of patients with metastatic nccRCC treated with sunitinib and cabozantinib were 11.7% (95%CI:6.5%-18.0%) and 17.2% (95%CI:8.4%-28.2%), respectively. The total ORR of patients with papillary renal cell carcinoma was 9.1% (95%CI:2.4%-18.9%). 【Conclusion】 Targeted drugs have a significant effect on patients with metastatic nccRCC, but adverse reactions may occur. Targeted drugs have poor effects on metastatic papillary renal cell carcinoma, and cabozantinib may have greater survival benefits.
