Objective To observe and compare the clinical effect of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM)combined with transurethral resection of prostate(TURP) and simple TURP in treating benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Methods 60 patients with BPH were randomly divided into two groups. The treatment group(n=30) was given the TCM combined TURP and the control group(n = 30) was given TURP alone. The effects were observed.Results Improvement of lower urinary tract symptoms(LUTS), the international prostate symptom score (I-PSS) of the treatment group was better than that of the control group with significant difference (P < 0.01). The time and quantity of bladder irrigation, incidence of bladder spasm, incidence of constipation after operation of the treatment group were less than that of the control group with significant difference(all P <0.05). Catheter retention time,postoperative bleeding, urinary retention were less and had no significant difference between the two groups (all P >0. 05). Conclusion The effect of TCM combined with TURP was significantly superior to that of simple TURP; and adverse reaction after treatment was less than that in the control group.

Objective To investigate the causes and managements of capsular perforation in transurethral resection of prostate(TURP) for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Methods Clinical data of 893 cases who received TURP from February 2002 to February 2011 were analyzed retrospectively.Results In 893 cases, capsular perforation in 16 cases, among them, tissue covered perforation in 10 cases, dissociative perforation in 3 cases, perforation under bladder trignne in 3 cases. Six cases occurred with obviously extravasation, 10 cases with transurethral resection syndrome (TURS) or omen of TURS. Two cases were ceased operation and received TURP again after 2 weeks, 2 cases transferred to open surgery suprapubic prostatectomy, 12 cases kept up operation with lower bladder douche pressure. Two cases with postoperatire bleeding underwent open surgery hemostasis cured. All cases were discharged from hospital after recovery. Conclusions The type and extent of capsule perforation must be judged correctly,corresponding treatment must be given, prevention and treatment of TURS must be taken notice of, if capsule perforation occurs when TURP operation in progress. Less haematoma, clearview and normal anatomic structures can decrease the incidence of perforation.

Objective:
To understand social anxiety and relevant factors among graduate students under the normalization stage of COVID-19 epidemic prevention and control.
Methods:
Using convenience sampling method, an online questionnaire survey on graduate students from 5 universities in Jiangsu Province was conducted. Measurements used in the survey includes General Self Efficacy Scale (GSES), General Alienation Scale (GAS), Interaction Anxiousness Scale (IAS) and self made survey for basic information and household living conditions.
Results:
The overall score of graduate students self efficacy was (2.58±0.50). Average score was (30.68±6.22) for alienation, and (47.55±8.77) for interaction anxiety, with detection rate of social anxiety being 43.96%. Increased dependence on smartphones and electronic devices ( OR=1.86, 95%CI =1.32-2.61) and high alienation score (medium level: OR=2.06, 95%CI =1.45-2.92; high level: OR=5.19, 95%CI =1.00-27.00) were positively correlated with social anxiety. Increased communication with friends ( OR=0.65, 95%CI =0.47-0.90 and high self efficacy (medium level: OR= 0.37 , 95%CI =0.21-0.66; high level: OR=0.15, 95%CI =0.08-0.30) were negatively correlated with social anxiety.
Conclusion
At the normalization stage of COVID-19 epidemic prevention and control, social anxiety of graduate students is one of the mental health issues which need further attention. Participation in peer support helps prevent social anxiety through developing self efficacy, alleviating individual alienation, and reducing dependence on electronic devices among graduate students.

Objective:
To explore the intervention effect of group counseling integrating teadrinking on depression, social avoidance and distress, coping styles and selfesteem among college students, so as to provide references for promoting the psychological health of students.
Methods:
From March to June 2021, a convenience sampling method was used to recruit 46 college students from a university in Nanjing for intervention project. There were 23 students in intervention group and control group, respectively. The intervention was conducted for 2.5 hours per week across a 6 week period. The intervention group received two sessions of group counseling that incorporated teadrinking experience, and the sessions involved tea knowledge explanation, observation and learning, embodied experience, emotional expression, interpersonal assistance and emotional support, cultural customs and life integration. After the intervention was completed, the control group received onetime group counseling that integrated teadrinking. The Wilcoxon difference test and Mann-Whitney U test were performed to compare the scores of each scale within and between the groups, and the χ2 test was used to compare the detection rates.
Results:
There were no statistically significant differences in the scores of positive coping, negative coping, selfesteem, social avoidance and distress between the intervention group and the control group (Z=-1.20, -0.33, -0.35, 1.31,P>0.05). There were statistically significant differences in positive coping styles, selfesteem, social avoidance and distress between the intervention group and the control group after the intervention(27.70±5.60,22.05±4.30;30.52±3.63,28.27±4.06;7.43±7.38,13.64±6.79) (Z=-3.31, -2.10, 3.22, P<0.05). The intervention group showed statistically significant differences in social avoidance and distress scores before and after the intervention(11.96±7.47,7.43±7.38) (Z=-2.88), and the depression detection rate decreased(60.9%,30.4%) (χ2=4.29) (P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in positive coping, negative coping, selfesteem, social avoidance and distress scores, and depression detection rate between the control group before and after the intervention (Z/χ2=-0.28, -0.42, -1.24, -1.25;1.39, P>0.05). The followup results 1year later showed that there was a statistically significant difference in social avoidance and distress(6.57±6.21,14.16±9.22), and in the detection rates of depression(21.7%,52.2%) between the intervention group and the control group (Z/χ2=2.70,4.57,P<0.05).
Conclusions
Group counseling integrating teadrinking could improve interpersonal relationships, emotional states, selfesteem levels and coping strategies among college students. Group psychological counseling that incorporates teadrinking can be adopted to improve the mental health status of college students.

Objective:To observe the effects of different kinesio taping methods on hand swelling, shoulder pain, upper limb motor function and ability in the activities of daily living of stroke survivors with shoulder-hand syndrome.Methods:Sixty stroke survivors with shoulder-hand syndrome were randomly divided into groups A, B, C and a control group, each of 15. In addition to routine rehabilitation training and drug treatment, as well as claw-shaped and I-shaped taping of the hand and wrist, group A received I-shaped kinesio taping, B received Y-shape and C received I-shape plus Y-shaped taping of the shoulder. Before and after 4 weeks, the drainage method was employed to calculate the difference in volume between the two hands. Their temperatures were also measured. The subjects reported shoulder pain using a visual analog scale (VAS). Upper limb motor functioning was quantified using Fugl-Meyer scores, and difficulties in the activities of daily living were evaluated using the modified Barthel index (MBI).Results:Before the treatment there were no significant differences among the four groups in terms of any of the measurements. Afterward the treatment, significant improvement was observed in the volume and temperature differences between hands, as well as in the VAS, FMA and MBI scores. After the treatment, group C′s average FMA score was significantly higher than those of the other groups. There was no significant difference in MBI scores among the four groups.Conclusions:Supplementing rehabilitation training with I-shaped plus Y-shaped kinesio taping can effectively reduce the volume and temperature differences between the hands, relieve shoulder pain, and improve effectiveness in the activities of daily living of persons with shoulder-hand syndrome after a stroke. Hand-claw and wrist-I taping also have some effect.
