Post-stroke insomnia is very common in clinic. Most clinicians regard post-stroke insomnia as common insomnia without considering the particularity of stroke patients. There are many kinds of hypnotics in clinic, and the mechanism and side effects of various hypnotics are different; however, the choice of drugs for post-stroke insomnia is entirely based on experience, and the curative effect is different. This review describes the drug selection of post-stroke insomnia.

Objective:To explore the outcomes of urethra around corpora cavernosus anastomotic urethroplasty for the treatment of complex posterior urethral strictures.Methods:Between June 2008 and June 2020, 35 patients with complex posterior urethral strictures were treated using urethra rerouted under one corpora cavernosus anastomotic urethroplasty. The patients’ age was 3-54 years(mean 23.2 years), the urethral stricture or loss length was 4-7 cm(mean 5.2 cm), and 6 patients associated with urethrorectal fistula. The technique involved: ①The anterior urethra is dissected long more than 5 cm, separation of the proximal corporeal bodies, inferior pubectomy and the dissected proximal urethra.②A channel around the left crus of the penis through the inferior pubectomy is separated and urethra rerouted under left corpora cavernosus to allow a tension-free anastomosis to the proximal urethra.Results:Two patients lost follow-up; the remainder 33 patients were followed-up for 3 to 144 months(mean 37 months). Thirty-two patients could void normally(97%), The examination of maximal urinary flow rates(Q max) were taken in 21 patients, of whom Q max was 13.6-35.5 ml/s (mean 17.5 ml/s) in 7 children and 16.3-77.6 ml/s(mean 27.9 ml/s) in 14 adult patients. All 6 patients associated with urethrorectal fistula successful repaired, of these patients 1 had died of hemorrhage of brain 6 years postop. One patient developed urethral stenosis postoperatively. Continence was achieved in 29 patients, the remaining 3 patients had incontinence from mild to moderate. Conclusions:Urethra rerouted under left corpora cavernosus anastomotic urethroplasty is not only an effective surgical salvage option, with low recurrent rate for patients with complex posterior urethral strictures, but also do not cause curve and affect growth of corpora cavernosus.

Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a global health problem that causes major illnesses and disabilities worldwide. Epidemiologic studies have demonstrated that the prevalence of AR has increased progressively over the last few decades in more developed countries and currently affects up to 40% of the population worldwide. Likewise, a rising trend of AR has also been observed over the last 2–3 decades in developing countries including China, with the prevalence of AR varying widely in these countries. A survey of self-reported AR over a 6-year period in the general Chinese adult population reported that the standardized prevalence of adult AR increased from 11.1% in 2005 to 17.6% in 2011. An increasing number of original articles and imporclinical trials on the epidemiology, pathophysiologic mechanisms, diagnosis, management and comorbidities of AR in Chinese subjects have been published in international peer-reviewed journals over the past 2 decades, and substantially added to our understanding of this disease as a global problem. Although guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of AR in Chinese subjects have also been published, they have not been translated into English and therefore not generally accessible for reference to non-Chinese speaking international medical communities. Moreover, methods for the diagnosis and treatment of AR in China have not been standardized entirely and some patients are still treated according to regional preferences. Thus, the present guidelines have been developed by the Chinese Society of Allergy to be accessible to both national and international medical communities involved in the management of AR patients. These guidelines have been prepared in line with existing international guidelines to provide evidence-based recommendations for the diagnosis and management of AR in China.
