【Objective】 To investigate the clinical effects of electrophysiological technique combined with pelvic floor muscle training on urinary incontinence after electroresection of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) based on the concept of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS). 【Methods】 A total of 86 patients with urinary incontinence treated with electroresection of BPH during Oct.2019 and Feb.2022 were randomly divided into control group and observation group, with 43 cases in either group. All patients received health education plus pelvic floor muscle training, and the observation group also received electrophysiological treatment. The differences in the indexes before and after treatment were compared between the two groups. 【Results】 There were no significant differences in the 1 h pad test, ICIQ-SF score, maximum urinary flow rate (Qmax), post void residual (PVR), International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), 24 h urinary incontinence frequency, and Urinary Incontinence Quality of Life Questionnaire Score (I-QoL) before treatment between the two groups (P>0.05). However, after treatment, Qmax and I-QoL score were significantly higher in the observation group than in the control group, while the other 5 indicators were significantly lower in the observation group than in the control group (all P<0.05). The total clinical effective rate was significantly higher in the observation group than in the control group (P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 Electrophysiological technique combined with pelvic floor muscle training can effectively improve the symptoms of urinary incontinence and promote the recovery of urinary control function, which is in line with the concept of ERAS and is worthy of further research and promotion.

Objective:To analyze the composition and clinical characteristics of urinary calculi in infants in Xinjiang.Methods:The clinical data of 75 infants with urinary calculi admitted to the People′s Hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region from January 2016 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed, including the general situation of the children, stone-related parameters, random urine pH value, urine culture and biochemical examination results. The serum uric acid, serum calcium, urine pH value, positive rate of urine culture, and stone length between infants with and without ammonium urate stones were compared. Measurement data conforming to normal distribution were expressed as mean ± standard deviation ( ± s), and independent sample t-test was used for inter-group comparison. Measurement data that did not conform to the normal distribution were expressed as the median (interquartile distance) [ M ( Q1, Q3)], and Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison between groups. The Chi-square test, continuity-corrected Chi-square test or Fisher exact probability method were used for the comparison of count data. Results:The median age of infants with urinary calculi was 23.04 months, and the ratio of male to female was 3.2∶1. More than half of the infants (81.3%, 61/75) came from rural areas, 57.3% (43/75) were malnourished, 33.3% (25/75) were complicated with urinary tract infection, and 8.0% (6/75) were combined with urinary system congenital malformation. The calculi were found in 53 cases (70.67%) of kidney, 27 cases (36.0%) of ureter, 17 cases (22.67%) of urethra and 16 cases (21.33%) of bladder. The analysis of calculi composition showed that there were 44 cases (58.67%) of ammonium urate, 39 cases (52.0%) of calcium oxalate, 14 cases (18.67%) of apatite carbonate and 7 cases (9.33%) of uric acid. Kidney calculi was more common in female infants ( P=0.011). Compared with the infant group ( n=19), calcium oxalate stones were more common in the preschooler group ( n=56) ( P=0.039), but there were not statistical difference in the incidence of ammonium urate, apatite carbonate and uric acid stones. There were not statistical difference in gender, age, place of residence, nutritional status, serum uric acid, serum calcium, urine pH value, positive rate of urine culture, stone maximum diameter and incidence of bladder stones between ammonium urate group and non-ammonium urate group. Conclusions:The incidence of urinary calculi in infants is higher in boys, and the most common site of calculi is the upper urinary tract, especially in female kidney calculi. Ammonium urate is the main component of urinary calculi in infants. Calcium oxalate stones are more common in preschooler group. Infants with urinary calculi are mostly rural residents, and malnutrition and urinary tract infection are more common.

[Objective] To investigate the clinical application of microscope-assisted subinguinal hierarchical dissection in the treatment of varicocele (VC), so as to provide reference for clinicians. [Methods] The clinical data of 113 VC patients admitted to our hospital during Jul.2021 and Jun.2022 were retrospectively analyzed.All patients were treated with microscope-assisted hierarchical anatomical spermatic vein ligation under the external ring, with layered isolation.The number of intraoperative ligations of the internal spermatic veins and external spermatic vein, preserved arteries as well as the number of lymphatic vessels were recorded. [Results] Among the 13 patients with a mean age of (28.7±6.0) years, 98 had left-side lesion and 15 had bilateral lesion.The degree of varicocele: degree Ⅱ in 44 cases and degree Ⅲ in 69 cases.Intraoperative ligation of the internal spermatic veins: (9.18±3.21) on the left side and (9.02±3.39) on the right side.Intraoperative ligation of the external spermatic veins: (1.47±0.93) on the left side and (1.41±1.10) on the right side.Preservation of the internal spermatic arteries: (2.03±1.07) on the left side, (1.97±0.99) on the right side.Preservation of the external spermatic arteries: (1.42±0.50) on the left side and (1.40±0.50) on the right side.Preservation of lymphatics: (3.87±2.07) on the left and (3.89±1.99) on the right. [Conclusion] Hierarchical dissection ensures the integrity of the vas deferens and its vascular system, and tubular isolation aids in intraoperative reference identification, avoid omission of tiny veins and injury to lymphatic vessels, which helps to improve the surgical skills of beginners or less experienced surgeons.

【Objective】 To analyze the clinical characteristics of children with ammonium urate stones in Xinjiang, so as to provide reference for the prevention and treatment of this disease. 【Methods】 The clinical data of all children with ammonium urate stones admitted to the People’s Hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region from 2016 to 2021 were retrospectively analyzed, including age, sex, body mass index, stone site, stone size, stone component, urine pH, urine culture and biochemical examination results. The serum total protein, albumin, sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, uric acid and urine pH were compared between the pure and mixed groups. 【Results】 A total of 61 children (31.6%) had ammonium urate stones, their average age was (4.05±3.37) years, and the male to female ratio was 2.21∶1. Among them, there were 37 cases (60.7%) of renal calculi and 50 cases (82.0%) of upper urinary calculi. The most common component of mixed ammonium urate stones was calcium oxalate, including calcium oxalate monohydrate, calcium oxalate monohydrate and calcium oxalate dihydrate. Compared with mixed type, children with pure stone type had a younger age (P=0.001) and a smaller stone size (P=0.003). Positive urine culture was detected in 14 cases (23.0%), 7 of which (50% were infected with Escherichia coli, and 11 (78.6%) with non-urease bacteria. 【Conclusion】 Non-urease bacteria are the main pathogens of urinary tract infection in children with ammonium urate stones. The incidence is higher in boys, and the most common stone location is upper urinary tract. Calcium oxalate is the most common mixed component. Pure type is more common in young children and the stones are relatively small.
