Objective: To investigate the influencing factors of overactive bladder (OAB) in college freshmen and the impacts of OAB on their mental health, quality of life and social interaction. Methods: An epidemiological questionnaire survey was conducted in an anonymous manner on the prevalence of OAB among 5300 freshmen aged 17 to 22 years enrolled in the 2023—2024 academic year in Xinxiang Medical University and Sanquan College of Xinxiang Medical University.The questionnaire included questions on basic information, history of urinary tract infection, constipation, smoking, history of alcohol consumption, history of coffee/strong tea drinking, history of carbonated beverage drinking, redundant prepuce, phimosis, holding urine, chronic insomnia, self-rating anxiety scale (SAS), quality of life score (QoL), and social avoidance and distress scale (SADS).The influencing factors of OAB were analyzed with multivariate logistic regression analysis.The subjects were grouped according to whether they had OAB, and the differences in SAS, QoL and SADS between the OAB group and non-OAB group were compared.The impacts of OAB on the anxiety level, quality of life, and social interaction were analyzed with multiple linear regression analysis. Results: The overall prevalence rate of OAB was 4.9% (244/5018).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the history of urinary tract infection (OR=0.177), constipation (OR=0.636), smoking (OR=0.582), alcohol consumption (OR=0.685), coffee/strong tea drinking (OR=0.387), carbonated beverage drinking (OR=0.631), redundant prepuce (OR=0.673), phimosis (OR=0.311), urine holding (OR=0.593), and chronic insomnia (OR=0.256) were influencing factors for the occurrence of OAB (P＜0.05).The OAB group had higher SAS score [(41.18±6.54) vs. (38.61±6.36)], QoL score [(3.65±1.20) vs. (2.79±0.95)], social avoidance score [(6.25±1.86) vs. (5.86±1.51)], social distress score [(6.27±1.59) vs. (5.97±1.32)], and total SADS score [(12.51±2.35) vs. (11.84±2.01)] than the non-OAB group (P＜0.05).The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that OAB could independently affect the scores of QoL, SAS, and SADS.The OAB group had higher scores of QoL, SAS, and SADS compared with the non-OAB group (P＜0.001). Conclusion: History of urinary tract infection, constipation, smoking, alcohol consumption, coffee/strong tea drinking, carbonated beverage drinking, redundant prepuce, phimosis, urine holding, and chronic insomnia are influencing factors for the occurrence of OAB in male college students.Moreover, OAB has negative impacts on their mental health, quality of life, and social interaction.

The Janus kinase/signal transducers and activators of transcription (JAK-STAT) control natural killer (NK) cells development and cytotoxic functions, however, whether long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in this pathway remains unknown. We found that miR155HG was elevated in activated NK cells and promoted their proliferation and effector functions in both NK92 and induced-pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs)-derived NK (iPSC-NK) cells, without reliance on its derived miR-155 and micropeptide P155. Mechanistically, miR155HG bound to miR-6756 and relieved its repression of JAK3 expression, thereby promoting the JAK-STAT pathway and enhancing NK cell proliferation and function. Further investigations disclosed that upon cytokine stimulation, STAT3 directly interacts with miR155HG promoter and induces miR155HG transcription. Collectively, we identify a miR155HG-mediated positive feedback loop of the JAK-STAT signaling. Our study will also provide a power target regarding miR155HG for improving NK cell generation and effector function in the field of NK cell adoptive transfer therapy against cancer, especially iPSC-derived NK cells.

Objective To investigate the value of urodynamic study(UDS)in guiding the treatment of lower urinary tract dysfunction(LUTD)in elderly patients with ischemic stroke(IS)during convalescence,in order to provide reference for clinical treatment.Methods A total of 50 LUTD patients with IS who were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinxiang Medical University during Jan.2020 and Jan.2022 were selected.Oral tolterodine was administered to patients with detrusor overactivity(DO),clean intermittent catheterization(CIC)to those with no detrusor reflex and symptomatic increased residual urine,and oral administration of tamsulosin to those with functional obstruction of bladder outlet.The lower urinary tract symptoms(LUTS)relief rate,UDS parameters and quality of life(QoL)scores were compared before treatment and 3 months after treatment.Results The UDS examination results showed that 25 cases(50.0％)had simple DO,9 cases(18.0％)had DO with impaired detrusor muscle contraction function,5 cases(10.0％)had DO with bladder outlet functional obstruction,4 cases(8.0％)had no detrusor reflex,and 7 cases(14.0％)had simple bladder outlet functional obstruction.After 3 months of treatment,the symptoms of LUTS,including frequent urination,urgent urination,incontinence,dysuria and urinary retention were significantly improved(P＜0.05).The maximum urine flow rate and urine output were significantly increased,the residual urine volume was significantly reduced,QoL scores were significantly reduced,with significant differences(P＜0.001).Conclusion UDS is significant in guiding the treatment of LUTD in elderly patients with IS during convalescence.

[Objective] To investigate the impacts of voiding positions on urinary flow measurement (UFM) and post voided residual (PVR) in young males, to explore a better voiding position, and to provide reference for the clinical application of UFM. [Methods] A total of 43 male medical students (22-28 years old, all healthy with no lower urinary tract symptoms) from the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinxiang Medical College were enrolled.UFM was recorded in standing position, forward-bentding sitting position and sitting position, respectively.PVR was determined with B-ultrasound immediately after each voiding.Voided volume (VV), maximum urine flow rate (Qmax), average urine flow rate (Qave) and PVR were compared. [Results] In the standing, forward-bending sitting, and seating positions the VV were 211.6 (169.5, 265.9) mL, 206.8 (173.5, 262.8) mL, and 203.7 (175.9, 260.0) mL, respectively, with no significant difference (P=0.486); the Qmax were (26.00±2.33) mL/s, (26.41±2.12) mL/s, and (23.50±2.52) mL/s, respectively; the Qave were (14.03±2.21) mL/s, (14.27±2.18) mL/s, and (11.77±1.89) mL/s, respectively; the PVR were (9.97±2.26) mL, (9.43±1.97) mL and (12.10±3.28) mL, respectively.The Qmax and Qave in standing position and forward-bending sitting position were significantly higher than those in the sitting position, while the PVR was lower than that in the sitting position, with statistically significant difference (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in Qmax, Qave and PVR between the forward-bending sitting and standing positions (P>0.05). [Conclusion] Standing position and forward-bending seating position are beneficial for emptying the bladder, and these two positions are recommended for young men to urinate as the first choice.

Objective:To investigate the clinical features and therapeutic efficacy of patients with hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell carcinoma(RCC) syndrome-associated RCC (HLRCC-RCC) in China.Methods:The clinical data of 119 HLRCC-RCC patients with fumarate hydratase (FH) germline mutation confirmed by genetic diagnosis from 15 medical centers nationwide from January 2008 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 73 were male and 46 were female. The median age was 38(13, 74) years. The median tumor diameter was 6.5 (1.0, 20.5) cm. There were 38 cases (31.9%) in stage Ⅰ-Ⅱand 81 cases (68.1%) in stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ. In this group, only 11 of 119 HLRCC-RCC patients presented with skin smooth muscle tumors, and 44 of 46 female HLRCC-RCC patients had a history of uterine fibroids. The pathological characteristics, treatment methods, prognosis and survival of the patients were summarized.Results:A total of 86 patients underwent surgical treatment, including 70 cases of radical nephrectomy, 5 cases of partial nephrectomy, and 11 cases of reductive nephrectomy. The other 33 patients with newly diagnosed metastasis underwent renal puncture biopsy. The results of genetic testing showed that 94 patients had FH gene point mutation, 18 had FH gene insertion/deletion mutation, 4 had FH gene splicing mutation, 2 had FH gene large fragment deletion and 1 had FH gene copy number mutation. Immunohistochemical staining showed strong 2-succinocysteine (2-SC) positive and FH negative in 113 patients. A total of 102 patients received systematic treatment, including 44 newly diagnosed patients with metastasis and 58 patients with postoperative metastasis. Among them, 33 patients were treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) combined with immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI), 8 patients were treated with bevacizumab combined with erlotinib, and 61 patients were treated with TKI monotherapy. Survival analysis showed that the median progression-free survival (PFS) of TKI combined with ICI was 18 (5, 38) months, and the median overall survival (OS) was not reached. The median PFS and OS were 12 (5, 14) months and 30 (10, 32) months in the bevacizumab combined with erlotinib treatment group, respectively. The median PFS and OS were 10 (3, 64) months and 44 (10, 74) months in the TKI monotherapy group, respectively. PFS ( P=0.009) and OS ( P=0.006) in TKI combined with ICI group were better than those in bevacizumab combined with erlotinib group. The median PFS ( P=0.003) and median OS ( P=0.028) in TKI combined with ICI group were better than those in TKI monotherapy group. Conclusions:HLRCC-RCC is rare but has a high degree of malignancy, poor prognosis and familial genetic characteristics. Immunohistochemical staining with strong positive 2-SC and negative FH can provide an important basis for clinical diagnosis. Genetic detection of FH gene germ line mutation can confirm the diagnosis. The preliminary study results confirmed that TKI combined with ICI had a good clinical effect, but it needs to be confirmed by the results of a large sample multi-center randomized controlled clinical study.

Objective:To investigate the effects of hydroxysafflor yellow A (HSYA) on depressive-like behavior and expression of type A γ-aminobutyric acid receptor(GABAAR)in hippocampus of chronic restraint stress model mice.Methods:The SPF grade male C57BL/6C mice were divided into Control group, HSYA group, Model group, Model + HSYA group and Model + fluoxetine group according to random number table method, with 12 mice in each group.Mice model of depression was established by chronic restraint stress.Mice in HSYA group and Model+ HSYA group were intraperitoneally injected with HSYA(20 mg/kg), mice in Model+ fluoxetine group were injected intraperitoneally with fluoxetine (10 mg/kg), and mice in Control group and Model group administered with 0.9% sodium chloride solution intraperitoneally once a day for 14 days.Then, the forced swimming test (FST) and tail suspension test (TST) were performed to evaluate the depressive-like behavior of mice, and the protein expression levels of different subtypes of GABAAR in the hippocampus of mice were determined by Western blot.SPSS 19.0 and GraphPad Prism 8.0 software were used for data statistical analysis and mapping.One-way ANOVA was used for comparison among groups, and Tukey-HSD test was used for further pairwise comparison.Results:(1) In the behavioral tests, there were significant differences in swimming immobility time of FST and tail suspension immobility time of TST among the five groups ( F=21.59, 20.81, both P<0.05). The swimming immobility time ((143.91±9.97) s) and tail suspension immobility time (( 107.00±6.54) s) in Model group were higher than those in Control group ((52.92±6.70) s, ( 43.50±5.96) s, both P<0.05). There were no significant difference in swimming immobility time and tail suspension immobility time between Model+ HSYA group ((26.17±7.69)s, ( 20.17±7.89)s) and Model+ fluoxetine group ((61.60±16.22)s, (34.14±10.74)s)(both P>0.05), but the swimming immobility time and tail suspension immobility time in these two groups were lower than those in Model group (both P<0.05). (2) The Western blot results showed that there were significant differences in the expression of GABAARβ1 and GABAARβ2 protein in hippocampus among the four groups ( F=12.21, 11.40, both P<0.05). The expression levels of GABAARβ1(45.60±10.76) and GABAARβ2 (46.27±4.82) protein in hippocampus of Model group were lower than those in Control group ((100.00±3.44), (100.00±3.26), both P<0.05). Compared to Model group, the expression of GABAARβ1 (79.91±5.00) and GABAARβ2 (79.08±5.53) protein in hippocampus of Model+ HSYA group were higher (both P<0.05). In addition, the expression of GABAARα1 and GABAARγ1 proteins in hippocampus were not significantly different among the four groups( F=0.23, 0.10, both P>0.05). Conclusion:HSYA can effectively alleviate depressive-like behavior in depression model mice, which may be related with the upregulation of GABAARβ1 and GABAARβ2 of hippocampus tissue.

【Objective】 To analyze the related factors of emotional and behavioral abnormalities in children with overactive bladder (OAB). 【Methods】 OAB children (aged 6 to 16 years) in a survey of 5 032 children from a county in Henan Province during Sep.2022 and Dec.2022 were identified and surveyed with Overactive Bladder Symptom Score (OABSS), Strength and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) and Pediatric Sleep Questionnaire (PSQ). According to the SDQ score, they were divided into abnormal group (SDQ≥20) and normal group. 【Results】 There were 35.7%(137/385) cases in the abnormal group and 64.3% (248/385) in the normal group. Gender, education level of caregivers, body mass index (BMI), age, constipation, enuresis and severity of OAB were significantly associated with emotional and behavioral abnormalities (P<0.05). Children in the abnormal group showed significant differences in emotional symptoms, conduct problems, hyperactivity symptoms, peer interaction and sleep (P<0.001). Multivariate regression analysis revealed significant differences in gender, educational level of caregi-vers, BMI, age, constipation, enuresis, severity of OAB and PSQI between the two groups (P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 The prevalence of emotional and behavioral abnormalities is high in children with OAB, which is related to female gender, high BMI, puberty, constipation, enuresis and severity of OAB.

Objective To make classification and segment measurement for the cases with tibiofibular and ankle fractures in parachuting landing, and investigate main classification types of parachuting fractures and fracture segments of high risk.Methods A total of 56 fracture cases in parachuting landing were collected, and the tibiofibula and ankle fractures were classified according to AO-OTA or Lauge-Hansen classification standards respectively based on their digital X-ray images. The medium plane between talus and tibia joint planes in ankle joint was defined as the reference plane. The highest and lowest injury points of tibia and fibula were marked respectively, and the fracture segment was defined between the highest and lowest point for statistical analysis.Results For tibiofibular and ankle fracture cases in parachuting landing, fracture at both tibia and fibula accounted for 80.4%. The major classification of tibiofibula fracture was 42-D/5.2 (45.8%) and 42-D/5.1 (16.7%). The major classification for ankle fracture was pronation-external rotation (PER, 59.4%) and supination-external rotation (SER, 37.5%). When tibiofibular and ankle fracture cases in parachuting landing occurred, the fracture segment of the tibia was mainly from 57 to 143 mm above the reference plane and from 6 mm below the reference plane to 24 mm above the reference plane, while the fracture segment of the fibula was 4-45 mm and 74-83 mm above the reference plane. Injury risks of all above segments were higher than 50%.Conclusions For protection of lower limbs in parachuting landing, the fracture at both tibia and fibula should be highly noticed. The ankle motion of PER and SER should be especially restricted in parachuting ankle protection.
