Objective:
To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of sacral neuromodulation(SNM)in the treatment of non-neurogenic and non-obstructive dysuria in elderly patients.
Methods:
Six elderly patients with non-neurogenic and non-obstructive(2 males and 4 females)treated with SNM were recruited from multiple medical centers across the country in this retrospective study from January 2012 to December 2016.All patients received two or more conservative treatments including behavior therapy, oral therapy, etc., with no good effect.Data of the average residual urine volume, average urine volume, maximum urine volume, average urinary frequency and quality of life score before operation, after implantation of stage Ⅰ tined lead, and at the end of follow-up after implantation of stage Ⅱ implanted pulse generator(IPG)were compared.
Results:
The average age in the 6 patients was 69.5(65~79)years.The results of SNM treatment showed that the objective findings and/or subjective symptoms in all patients were significantly improved in more than 50% of indexes before treatment.All patients chose embedding of IPG at the end of stage Ⅰ, with 100.0% of the conversion rate from stage Ⅰ to stage Ⅱ.The curative effect was stable in general.At stages of baseline, personal experience and end of follow-up respectively, the average residual urine volumes were(161.7±110.2)ml, (70.0±52.2)ml, and(50.0±44.7)ml, the average urine volume were(105.0±74.0)ml, (163.3±93.1)ml, and(155.0±92.3)ml, and the maximum urine volume were(146.7±81.2)ml, (216.7±93.1)ml, and(206.7±112.7)ml, which showed continuously significant improvements with patients' great satisfaction.The mean duration of fellow-up in 6 cases was 17.5 months(7-57 months). No severe adverse reactions such as wound infection, electrode dislocation and hematoma were observed.
Conclusions
SNM treatment is safe and effective for elderly patients with non-neurogenic and non-obstructive dysuria who are refractory to other treatments.SNM has a stable medium-term curative effect and a high-transfer-rate from stage Ⅰ to stage Ⅱ, which is appropriate for non-neurogenic and non-obstructive dysuria.The duration of SNM may be positively correlated with the improvement of residual urine volume and urination frequency.

Objective:To investigate the effect of alogliptin on bone loss in ovariectomized(OVX)mice.Methods:For animal experiments, thirty 8-week-old C57BL/6J female mice were divided into Sham group, OVX group, and OVX+ alogliptin group. OVX+ alogliptin group were administered with alogliptin in a dosage of 20 mg·kg -1·d -1 by gavage, Sham and OVX groups with equivalent saline. After 12 weeks intervention, serum bone anabolism indicators were detected, and Micro CT and HE staining were used to observe and analyze the bone trabecular structure of femur and tibia in mice. For in vitro experiments, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells(BMSCs)were incubated with 100 μmol/L alogliptin for osteoblast differentiation. Alkaline phosphatase(ALP)and alizarin red S staining were used to determine the ALP activity and mineralization after osteogenic induction and culture. Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR and Western blot were used to detect mRNA and protein expressions of osteoblast related genes. Results:Alogliptin intervention improved the biochemical indexes of bone anabolism and protected against bone microstructure deterioration to alleviate bone loss in OVX mice. Alogliptin stimulated osteoblast differentiation and elevated expression levels of Runt-related transcription factor 2(Runx2), ALP, osteocalcin, and osterix in in vitro experiments. Conclusion:Alogliptin can alleviate bone loss in OVX mice.

Objective To explore the effect of pattern-specific physical therapy based on functional impair-ment on chronic neck pain ( CNP ) . Methods Ninety-three CNP patients treated in the outpatient department of our hospital between March 2016 and November 2017 were randomly divided into a study group ( n=46) and a control group ( n=47) . The control group received routine physical treatment, while the study group was treated with pattern-specific physical therapy involving local pain management, traction, soft tissue relaxation, mobilization, strength training, posture control training and active exercise as well as health education. Each was based on a physical exami-nation and pattern classification by doctors and therapists. The subjects in both groups were required to complete 3 to 6 ninety-minute sessions of outpatient treatment and 6 thirty-minute sessions of self-training at home over 2 weeks. Pain intensity and cervical dysfunction were rated using a visual analogue scale ( VAS) and a neck disability index ( NDI) before and after the two-week intervention and one month later. Before the intervention and during the follow-up, postural analyses for the head and neck in a standing position were performed. The cranial vertebral angle ( CVA) , protracted shoulder angle ( PSA) and sagittal head elevation were measured. Results Eighty-seven par-ticipants completed the treatments and follow-up. After the 2-week intervention, the average VAS rating at the end of cervical anteflection in the study group was significantly lower than that in the control group ( P≤0.05) . Significantly greater improvement in the NDI scores was observed in the study group than the control group ( P≤0.05) . During the follow-up, it was found that the average CVA score had improved more significantly in the study group than with the control group ( P≤0.01) , but there were no significant differences in the other measurements between the two groups.Conclusion This pattern-specific physical therapy process is more effective for relieving the end pain during cervical anteflection quickly. It can improve functioning and ability in daily activities to some degree, as well as correct head and neck posture in the long term. It may be helpful in regulating physical therapy for neck pain and for developing a standardized treatment protocol for CNP .
