Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of botulinum toxin type A（BTX-A）bladder injection in the treatment of neurogenic detrusor overactivity（NDO）with autonomic dysreflexia（AD）.Methods:The patients with spinal cord injury at or above T6，who were treated at Guangdong Provincial Work Injury Rehabilitation Hospital from January 2018 to December 2022，were included in this study prospectively. Inclusion criteria：①chronic spinal cord injury patients over 18 years old（with no progression of neurological symptoms within 3 months）；② presence of NDO and AD；③ inadequate response or intolerance to oral antimuscarinic agent（M-receptor antagonists or β 3-receptor agonists）④ perform clean intermittent catheterization to empty the bladder. Exclusion criteria：① primary disease in the acute or progressive phase；② previous surgeries that would affect lower urinary tract function，such as transurethral sphincterotomy，bladder neck resection，prostatectomy，or bladder surgery；③ allergy to BTX-A or its adjuvants，or those with allergic predisposition ④ patients who were pregnant，breastfeeding，or planning for pregnancy in the near future；⑤ patients did not accept or were unable to perform intermittent catheterization. Before treatment，all patients were required to maintain 3-5 day urine diary，along with urodynamic studies（UDS），incontinence specific quality of life instrument（I-QOL）and AD symptom severity assessment，and blood pressure monitored. Key UDS parameters recorded included maximum bladder capacity，maximum detrusor pressure during filling phase，changes in maximum systolic blood pressure（SBP）relative to baseline（ΔSBP）during UDS examination，and the frequency of 24-hour blood pressure exceeding baseline by 20 mmHg. After general anesthesia or epidural anesthesia，BTX-A（200 U）was injected into the bladder at 30 points（including the triangle）under the cystoscope using a special injection needle，6.7 U per injection，and then the catheter was kept for 3-5 days after treatment. Three months later，relevant indicators were collected and compared with pre-treatment data. Results:A total of 43 patients were included in this study，including 34 males and 9 females. The age was（39.23±13.17）years old and the disease course was（2.69±3.27）years old. There were 33 cervical and 10 thoracic cases. The American Spinal Injury Association Injury Scale score distribution was as follows：26（60%）A，4（9%）B，9（21%）C，and 4（9%）D. The presence of AD was confirmed in all patients during urodynamic examination（UDS），that was the systolic blood pressure（SBP）suddenly increased and exceeded 20 mmHg（1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa）. Before treatment，The AD symptoms severity score（consist of headache，sweating，goose bumps，anxiety and palpitation）were（14.53±2.51），Bladder-related AD frequency was 10.67 episodes/day. Baseline SBP was（103.51±9.64）mmHg，the maximum SBP was（150.40±22.75）mmHg，and the change in SBP（ΔSBP）from maximum to baseline SBP during UDS examination was（43.83±21.01）mmHg. The UDS indicated that the maximum detrusor pressure during storage phase was（54.95±24.68）cmH 2O，and the bladder capacity was（131.70±75.29）ml. Bladder diary showed the volume of catheterization each time from was（181.16±49.86）ml，and The I-QOL score was（44.07±8.60）. Three months after treatment，the AD symptoms severity score（consist of headache，sweating，goose bumps，anxiety and palpitation）were（11.37±2.39）. The frequency of bladder-related AD episodes was（7.51±2.37）episodes/day，showing statistically significant differences compared to pre-treatment（ P<0.05）.The SBP before UDS examination was（102.12±10.28）mmHg，with no statistically significant difference from baseline（ P = 0.518）. The maximum SBP in perfusion phase and the ΔSBP were（132.84±16.30）mmHg and（28.72 ± 14.02）mmHg，respectively，both demonstrating statistically significant differences（ P < 0.05）. The UDS examination revealed that the maximum detrusor pressure during the storage phase was（29.77±13.72）cmH 2O，showed a significant decrease，and the bladder capacity was（272.63±79.75）ml，which were both statistically different before and after surgery. Bladder diary showed the volume of catheterization each time was（326.74±63.71）ml；I-QOL score was（71.86±11.45），both were significant different after treatment（ P < 0.01）. Conclusion:BTX-A intravesical injection in the treatment of NDO can also alleviate the severity and frequency of bladder related AD.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the palatability and chewability of chewable tablets， and provide reference for the quality evaluation of various types of chewable tablets. METHODS Using self-made Glucosamine hydrochloride chewable tablets as the model drug， the quality test was conducted. The in vitro simulation system for chewable tablets was established by using a texture analyzer and rheometer， and an oral simulation experiment was conducted on chewable tablets. The texture analyzer was used to measure the force required for chewing and simulate the static disintegration process of chewable tablets； the rheometer was adopted to measure the viscoelasticity， thixotropy， and deformability of chewable tablets during the chewing process. RESULTS The disintegration time limit， principal component content， and dissolution of self-made Glucosamine hydrochloride chewable tablets all met the limit requirements. The in vitro simulation results of the texture analyzer showed that self-made chewable tablets were easy to chew in both axial and radial directions， and the force required for chewing was within the range of the chewing force of the teeth； chewable tablets could disintegrate at an appropriate time without being chewed and only taken in the oral cavity. The in vitro simulation results of the rheometer showed that the chewable tablets in the oral cavity exhibited a behavior of elasticity as the main factor and viscosity as the secondary factor through the continuous stirring of the tongue， and the viscosity of the chewable tablets gradually decreased with tongue stirring or tooth chewing； when chewing with teeth， the internal force of the chewing tablets decreased， causing plastic deformation and crushing. After being crushed， the shape couldn’t be restored， making it easy to chew and swallow. CONCLUSIONS The combination of texture analyzer and rheometer can be used to simulate the oral chewing process and evaluate the palatability and chewability of self-made Glucosamine hydrochloride chewable tablets. This model can provide reference for the evaluation of various chewable tablets.

Objective:To investigate the diagnostic value of urine pH, serum uric acid and related clinical indicators in the diagnosis of urinary infection stones, and to construct a prediction nomogram.Methods:The clinical data of 432 patients with urinary calculi admitted to Xuzhou Central Hospital from August 2018 to November 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. The study included 289 males and 143 females, with an average age of (52.72±13.46) years old. Among the patients, there were 98 cases of hypertension, 67 cases of diabetes, and 100 cases of recurrent calculi. Kidney stones were present in 152 cases, ureteral stones in 242 cases, and bladder stones in 38 cases. Urine bacterial culture yielded positive results in 97 cases. According to the results of postoperative stone composition analysis, the two groups were categorized as infection and no-infection stone groups, and the differences in general data between the two groups were compared. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis were conducted to assess the diagnostic value of urine pH, serum uric acid, and related clinical indicators for urinary infection stones. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and area under curve (AUC) were utilized to evaluate the clinical significance of urine pH, serum uric acid, and combined indexes in preoperatively diagnosing urinary infection stones, as well as constructing a nomogram prediction model.Results:There were 127 cases of infection stones and 305 cases of no-infection stones. The infection stone group exhibited a higher urine pH value [7.0(6.5, 7.5) vs. 6.0(5.5, 6.5), P<0.001], lower serum uric acid levels [(301.38±70.12) vs. (358.88±88.99) μmol/L, P<0.001], a higher proportion of females [55.1%(70/127) vs. 23.9%(73/305), P<0.001], younger age [(48.36±14.83)vs. (53.12±12.61)years old, P<0.001], a higher proportion of recurrence stones [34.6 %(44/127) vs. 18.4%(56/305), P<0.001], and a higher rate of positive urine bacteria culture[29.9%(38/127)vs. 19.3%(59/305), P=0.016]and nitrite test results [18.9%(24/127)vs. 6.3%(19/305), P <0.001]. Univariate logistic regression analysis revealed that urine pH value, serum uric acid levels, gender, age, recurrent stones, urine bacterial culture, and urine nitrite were associated with urinary infection stones ( P< 0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that urine pH value ( OR= 4.836, 95% CI 3.342-6.997), female gender( OR=2.320, 95% CI 1.286-4.186), recurrent stones ( OR=2.225, 95% CI 1.208-4.101), positive urine bacterial culture ( OR=2.061, 95% CI 1.094-3.883), serum uric acid ( OR=0.992, 95% CI 0.949-0.989), age ( OR=0.969, 95% CI 0.949-0.990) were independent risk factors for urinary infection stones ( P<0.05). The combined diagnostic value of six indicators was the highest, with an AUC of 0.874 (95% CI 0.837-0.911). Following this, urine pH exhibited an AUC of 0.818 (95% CI 0.778-0.858), while serum uric acid had an AUC of 0.704 (95% CI 0.652-0.756). The nomogram model was successfully constructed based on the six indicators. The mean AUC of the ROC curve after 1 000 resamples of the Bootstrap method was 0.864 (95% CI 0.828-0.900), and the calibration curve showed that the predicted curve fit the ideal curve well, with a mean absolute error of 0.005 and a Hosmer-Lemeshow test of P>0.05. Clinical decision curve analysis (DCA) showed that the model had a higher net clinical benefit when the model had a threshold probability value≥0.01. Conclusions:Urine pH and serum uric acid are closely related to urinary infection stones. A nomogram model combining these factors with gender, age, recurrent stones, and urine culture results can effectively predict the probability of infection-related stones, providing significant clinical value.

Objective:To analyze and compare the association between different obesity-related indices and vitamin D deficiency in middle-aged and elderly population dwelled in Lanzhou city.Methods:From May, 2011 to September, 2012, middle-aged and elderly individuals with complete baseline data were included via randomly cluster sampling from 3 communities in Lanzhou. The subjects were divided into 4 subgroups by vitamin D levels and various obesity-related indices were compared across subgroups with the same gender. The relationship between the obesity-related indices and the severity of vitamin D deficiency was analyzed using Spearman correlation analysis, and the effects of different obesity-related indices on the severity of vitamin D deficiency was analyzed using multivariate logistic regression analysis.Results:A total of 9 437 residents were included. The overall prevalence of vitamin D deficiency was 97.7%. Compared with the group with lower vitamin D level, participants in the group with higher vitamin D level showed evidently lower body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), lipid accumulation product (LAP), visceral adiposity index (VAI) and triglyceride/ high density lipoprotein cholesterol (TG/HDL-C) ratio in the total population and females, while only WC, LAP, VAI and TG/HDL-C in the males (all P<0.05). Spearman correlation analysis showed that BMI, WC, LAP, VAI and TG/HDL-C were positively correlated with the severity of vitamin D deficiency in the total population and the females, while only LAP, VAI and TG/HDL-C in the males (all P<0.05) . Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that higher levels of these obesity related indices were correlated with more severe vitamin D deficiency in the total population and the females, while only higher LAP, VAI and TG/HDL-C in the males (all P<0.05). The effects of higher LAP was the most prominant in the total population ,the females and the males. Conclusion:Various obesity phenotypes are closely related to vitamin D deficiency in middle-aged and elderly women, while only visceral obesity and abnormal lipid metabolism are related to vitamin D deficiency in middle-aged and elderly men, with LAP being the most important influencing factor.

Objective:To explore the changes of immune microenvironment and prognosis of bladder cancer patients with positive urinary nuclear matrix protein 22 (NMP22).Methods:Retrospective analysis was made on 86 patients who were diagnosed with bladder cancer in Xuzhou Central Hospital from January 2019 to September 2020. All patients were tested for urinary NMP22 by colloidal gold method. The patients with positive test results were NMP22 positive group, and the patients with negative test results were NMP22 negative group. The expression of CD8, programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1), programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1) and PanCK were detected by multiple fluorescent immunohistochemical method on the pathological tissue sections of all enrolled patients with bladder cancer after surgery. Follow-up data of enrolled patients were collected after discharge, and univariate and multivariate Cox analysis was performed on the follow-up data.Results:There were 69 patients in the NMP22 positive group and 17 patients in the NMP22 negative group. The percentage of CD8 and PD-L1 positive cells in NMP22 positive group was significantly higher than that in NMP22 negative group, and the difference was statistically significant (all P<0.05). Univariate analysis showed that tumor stage was correlated with bladder cancer progression ( HR=2.67, P=0.017). Multivariate analysis showed that positive NMP22 was significantly correlated with bladder cancer recurrence and disease progression (all P<0.05). Conclusions:The density of CD8 + T cells and PD-L1 in tumor parenchyma of urinary NMP22 positive bladder cancer patients was higher than that of NMP22 negative patients. Urinary NMP22 positive can be one of the bad prognostic factors of bladder cancer, and the patients with NMP22 positive should strengthen reexamination.

【Objective】 To investigate the feasibility of prostatic exosomal protein (PSEP) detection kit in the diagnosis of histological prostatitis (HP) in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and to explore the correlation between PSEP and other clinical parameters. 【Methods】 A total of 104 patients with BPH or BPH plus HP treated during Nov.2021 and Nov.2022 were involved. The patients were instructed to fill out the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) scale independently before surgery. Clinical data such as prostate volume, residual urine volume, free prostate specific antigen (fPSA), total prostate specific antigen (tPSA), and fPSA/tPSA were collected. Preoperative midstream morning urine was collected for PSEP detection. 【Results】 The sensitivity and specificity of PSEP in the diagnosis of BPH were 93.51% and 70.37%, respectively, which were highly consistent with the postoperative pathological diagnosis results (Kappa=0.663). Serum PSEP level was positively correlated with tPSA level (r=0.242, P=0.040). 【Conclusion】 PSEP has a high clinical diagnostic value in the diagnosis of HP, which can provide a reliable basis for the diagnosis of HP in BPH patients and improve the diagnosis rate.

Objective:To explore the effect of narrative nursing on the psychological resilience, self-esteem, and medication compliance of adolescent depression patients.Methods:This study is a quasi-experimental study. From August 2021 to January 2022, 86 adolescent depression patients admitted to the Department of Mental Health at the First Hospital of Shanxi Medical University were selected as the subject by convenience sampling. According to the order of admission time, the patients were divided into a control group and an intervention group, with 43 patients in each group. The control group received routine nursing, while the intervention group received narrative nursing on the basis of routine nursing. We compared the scores of the Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS), Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD), Self-Esteem Scale (SES), Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC), and Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS-8) before and after intervention between two groups of patients.Results:Before intervention, there was no statistically significant difference in SDS, HAMD, SES, CD-RISC, and MMAS-8 scores between the two groups ( P>0.05). After intervention, the total scores of SDS and HAMD in the intervention group were lower than those before intervention and in the control group, and the toughness, optimism, self-improvement scores and the CD-RISC total score, SES scores and MMAS-8 scores were higher than those before intervention and in the control group, with statistically significant differences ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Narrative nursing can improve the depressive mood of adolescent depression patients, enhance their psychological resilience, self-esteem, and medication compliance, and can be promoted and applied in clinical practice.
