Objective To compare the efficacy and safety of transurethral blue laser vaporization of the prostate, transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) or plasmakinetic resection of the prostate in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Methods The domestic and foreign clinical studies on transurethral blue laser vaporization of the prostate (observation group), TURP or plasmakinetic resection of the prostate (control group) in the treatment of BPH during Jan. 2015 and Mar. 2025 were retrieved. The data were extracted with Cochrane systematic review method. The operation time, decrease in hemoglobin, bladder irrigation time, catheter indwelling time, total complication rate, retrograde ejaculation rate and urinary incontinence rate of the two groups were compared with RevMan 5.3.0 statistical software. Results A total of 5 Chinese studies involving 491 patients (248 in the observation group and 243 in the control group) were included in the Meta-analysis. Compared with the control group, the observation group had shorter operation time [MD=-20.80, 95%CI:-26.88—-14.72, P＜0.00001], less decrease in hemoglobin [MD=-10.61, 95%CI: -20.21—-1.01, P=0.03], shorter bladder irrigation time [MD=-17.85, 95%CI: -32.62—-3.09, P=0.002], shorter catheter indwelling time [MD=-1.71, 95%CI: -2.81—- 0.62, P=0.002], lower total complication rate [OR=0.11, 95%CI: 0.06—0.21, P＜0.00001], lower retrograde ejaculation rate [OR=0.05, 95%CI: 0.02—0.16, P＜0.00001] and lower urinary incontinence rate [OR=0.24, 95%CI: 0.07—0.79, P=0.02]. There were no significant differences in other complications between the two groups (P＞0.05). The international erectile function score (IIEF-5) of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group [MD=1.87, 95%CI:1.16—2.57, P＜0.00001]. There were no significant differences in international prostate symptom score (IPSS), maximum urinary flow rate (Qmax) and post-voiding residual (PVR) between the two groups (P＞0.05). Conclusion All three surgical procedures can effectively improve the lower urinary tract symptoms of BPH patients. Compared with TURP or plasmakinetic resection of the prostate, transurethral blue laser vaporization of the prostate has obvious advantages in terms of perioperative recovery, reduction of total complications, urinary incontinence and retrograde ejaculation rates, and preservation of sexual function.

ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical features of patients with acute-on-chronic liver failure （ACLF）， and to construct a risk scoring table that can accurately predict the prognosis of patients in the early stage. MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data of 502 patients with ACLF who were admitted to Tangdu Hospital， Air Force Medical University， from January 1， 2010 to December 31， 2020 （training set）， and the influencing factors for 28-day mortality rate were identified. The 69 ACLF patients who were admitted to Tangdu Hospital， Air Force Medical University， from January 1 to December 31， 2021 were enrolled as the validation set. The independent-samples t test or the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of continuous data between two groups， and the chi-square test or the Fisher’s exact test was used for comparison of categorical data between two groups. A univariate Cox regression analysis was used to obtain the early warning indicators associated with the 28-day prognosis of ACLF patients， and variance inflation factors were used to assess multicollinearity among predictors； a multivariate Cox regression analysis was used to construct a risk model for ACLF prognosis （mortality）. A risk scoring table for ACLF prognosis （mortality） was developed based on regression coefficients （β） from the model equation and weight assignments in the nomogram. Internal validation and comparison were performed for the risk model for ACLF prognosis （mortality）， the scoring table for ACLF prognosis （mortality）， and other scoring models （Child-Turcotte-Pugh ［CTP］ score， Model for End-Stage Liver Disease ［MELD］ score， MELD combined with serum sodium concentration ［MELD-Na］ score， and integrated MELD ［iMELD］ score） in the training set， while external validation and comprehensive evaluation of the scoring table and the other scoring models were performed in the validation set. The Nagelkerke’s R² test and the Hosmer-Lemeshow test were used to assess the degree of fitting of the risk model for ACLF prognosis （mortality）， the scoring table for ACLF prognosis （mortality）， and other scoring models， and fitting curves were plotted. C-index was used to assess the discriminatory ability of the scoring table for ACLF prognosis （mortality） and the other scoring models， and the Z-test was used for comparison of C-index between different models. The decision curve analysis was used to compare the clinical benefits of the scoring table for ACLF prognosis （mortality） and the other scoring models. ResultsThe multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that age （hazard ratio ［HR］=1.027， 95% confidence interval ［CI］： 1.015 — 1.039， P<0.001）， hepatic encephalopathy grade （grade 1： HR=2.928， 95%CI： 1.463 — 5.858， P=0.002； grade 2： HR=3.811， 95%CI： 2.078 — 6.988， P<0.001； grade 3： HR=3.916， 95%CI： 1.917 — 8.001， P<0.001； grade 4： HR=6.966， 95%CI： 4.559 — 10.644， P<0.001）， an increase in total bilirubin （TBil） by ≥17.1 μmol/L per day （HR=1.771， 95%CI： 1.248 — 2.513， P=0.001）， creatinine （HR=1.005， 95%CI： 1.004 — 1.006， P<0.001）， neutrophil count （HR=1.092， 95%CI： 1.060 — 1.126， P<0.001）， and international normalized ratio （HR=1.298， 95%CI： 1.187 — 1.418， P<0.001） were independent risk factors associated with the 28-day mortality rate of ACLF patients， and a risk scoring table was constructed for ACLF prognosis （mortality）. The Nagelkerke’s R² test showed that the risk scoring table for ACLF prognosis （mortality） had an R² value of 0.599 in the training set and 0.722 in the validation set， which were higher than the R² values of CTP， MELD， MELD-Na， and iMELD scores. The Hosmer-Lemeshow test showed that the risk scoring table for ACLF prognosis （mortality） had a P value of 0.280 in the training set and 0.788 in the validation set. The C-index analysis showed that the scoring table had a higher C-index than the other scoring models in the validation set （all P<0.001）， as well as a higher C-index than CTP score in the training set （P<0.001）. The decision curve analysis showed that the risk scoring table for ACLF prognosis （mortality） had higher clinical net benefits than the other scoring models. ConclusionCompared with other scoring models currently used in clinical practice， the novel risk scoring table for ACLF prognosis （mortality） constructed based on the six predictive factors of age， hepatic encephalopathy grade， an increase in TBil by ≥17.1 μmol/L per day， creatinine， neutrophil count， and international normalized ratio has a relatively high value in predicting the 28-day prognosis of ACLF patients.

Objective: To investigate the factors affecting pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) use among men who have sex with men (MSM), so as to provide a basis for improving PrEP uptake among MSM and optimizing HIV prevention and control strategies. Methods: The MSM were recruited at a HIV testing site of the "Danlan Public Welfare" organization in Beijing Municipality using the convenient sampling method from March to May 2024. Sociodemographic information, awareness of basic AIDS knowledge, sexual orientation and behaviors, the use of PrEP and post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) in the past six months were collected using the questionnaire survey. Multivariable logistic regression model and decision tree model were used to analyze the influencing factors for PrEP use among MSM. Results: A total of 414 participants were surveyed, with a mean age of (33.52±8.50) years. Among them, 345 individuals (83.33%) had a college degree and above. The predominant sexual orientation was homosexual, with 265 individuals, accounting for 64.01%. The majority reported having 1 to 2 same-sex partners in the past six months, with 182 individuals (43.96%). A total of 39 individuals (9.42%) had used PEP in the past six months. A total of 68 individuals (16.43%) had used PrEP during the same period. Multivariable logistic regression analysis revealed that educational attainment (college degree and above, OR=28.200, 95%CI: 3.162-251.519), the number of same-sex partners in the past six months (3-5 partners, OR=3.963, 95%CI: 1.065-14.755; ≥6 partners, OR=7.518, 95%CI: 1.829-30.910), and the use of PEP in the past six months (OR=18.606, 95%CI: 7.587-45.631) were significant factors associated with PrEP use among MSM. The decision tree model identified educational level, sexual orientation, and the number of same-sex partners in the past six months as factors affecting PrEP use among MSM. Among these, the number of same-sex partners in the past six months emerged as the primary influencing factor. The use of PrEP was 38.46% among MSM who had ≥3 same-sex partners in the past six months and identified as homosexual or heterosexual. Conclusion The use of PrEP among MSM is primarily associated with educational level, the number of same-sex partners in the past six months, use of post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) in the past six months, and sexual orientation.

Objective:To report the nationwide surveillance results of pathogenic profiles and antimicrobial resistance patterns of Gram-positive bloodstream infections in China in 2023.Methods:The clinical isolates of Gram-posttive bacteria from blood cultures were collected in member hospitals of National Bloodstream Infection Bacterial Resistant Investigation Collaborative System（BRICS）during January to December 2023. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed using the dilution method recommended by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute（CLSI）. Statistical analyses were conducted using WHONET 5.6 and SPSS 25.0 software.Results:A total of 4 385 Gram-positive bacterial isolates were obtained from 60 participating center. The top five pathogens were Staphylococcus aureus（ n=1 544，35.2%），coagulase-negative Staphylococci（ n=1 441，32.9%）， Enterococcus faecium（ n=574，13.1%）， Enterococcus faecalis（ n=385，8.8%），and α-hemolytic Streptococci（ n=187，4.3%）. The prevalence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus（MRSA）and methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative Staphylococci（MRCNS）was 26.2%（405/1 544）and 69.8%（1 006/1 441），respectively. Notably，all Staphylococci remained susceptible to glycopeptide or daptomycin. Staphylococcus aureus demonstrated excellent susceptibility（>97.0%）to cephalobiol，rifampicin，trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole，linezolid，minocycline，tigecycline，and eravacycline. No Enterococcus exhibiting resistance to linezolid were detected. Glycopeptide resistance was uncommon but more frequent in Enterococcus faecium（resistance to vancomycin and teicoplanin：both 1.7%）compared to Enterococcus faecalis（both 0.3%）. The detection rates of MRSA and MRCNS exhibited significant regional variations across the country（ χ2=17.674 and 148.650，respectively，both P<0.001）. No vancomycin-resistant Enterococci were detected in central China. Institutional comparison demonstrated higher prevalence of MRSA（ χ2=14.111， P<0.001）and MRCNS（ χ2=4.828， P=0.028）in provincial hospitals than that in municipal hospitals. Socioeconomic analysis identified elevated detection rates of both MRSA（ χ2=18.986， P<0.001）and MRCNS（ χ2=4.477， P=0.034）in less developed regions（per capita GDP

Objective:To report the results of bacterial resistant investigation collaborative system（BRICS）on the distribution and antimicrobial resistance profile of clinical Gram-negative bacteria isolates from bloodstream infections in China in 2023，and provide reference for clinical tretment of bloodstream infections and prevention and control of bacterial resistance.Methods:The clinical isolates of Gram-negative bacteria from blood cultures in member hospitals of BRICS were collected during January 2023 to December 2023. Antibiotic susceptibility tests were conducted by agar dilution or broth dilution methods recommended by Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute（CLSI）. WHONET 5.6 and SPSS 25.0 were used to analyze the data.Results:During the study period，11 492 strains of Gram-negative bacteria were collected from 60 hospitals，of which 10 098（87.9%）were Enterobacterales and 1 394（12.1%）were non-fermentative bacteria. The top 5 bacterial species were Escherichia coli（50.0%）， Klebsiella pneumoniae（26.1%）， Pseudomonas aeruginosa（5.1%）， Acinetobacter baumannii complex（5.0%）and Enterobacter cloacae complex（4.1%）. The ESBL-producing rates in Escherichia coli， Klebsiella pneumoniae and Proteus mirablilis were 46.8%（2 685/5 741），18.3%（549/2 999）and 44.0%（77/175），respectively. The prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli（CREC）and carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae（CRKP）were 1.3%（76/5 741）and 15.0%（450/2 999）；32.9%（25/76）and 78.0%（351/450）of CREC and CRKP were sensitive to ceftazidime/avibactam combination，respectively. 94.7%（72/76）and 90.2%（406/450）of CREC and CRKP were sensitive to aztreonam/avibactam combination. Furthermore，57.9%（44/76）and 79.1%（356/450）were sensitive to imipenem/relebactam combination. The prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii（CRAB）complex was 64.6%（370/573），while more than 80.0% of CRAB complex was sensitive to tigecycline，eravacycline and polymyxin B. The prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa（CRPA）was 17.0%（99/581）. There were differences in the composition ratio of Gram-negative bacteria in bloodstream infections and the prevalence of important Gram-negative bacteria resistance among different regions in China，with statistically significant differences in the prevalence of CREC，CRKP，CRPA and CRAB complex（ χ2=10.6，28.6，10.8 and 19.3， P<0.05）. The prevalence of ESBL-producing Escherichia coli， CREC，CRAB complex and CRKP were higher in provincial hospitals than those in municipal hospitals（ χ2=12.5，9.8，12.7 and 57.8，all P<0.01）. Conclusions:Gram-negative bacteria are the main pathogens causing bloodstream infections in China，and Escherichia coli is ranked in the top，while the trend of Klebsiella pneumoniae increases continuously with time. CRKP infection shows a slow upward trend，CREC infecton maintains a low prevalence level，and CRAB complex infection continues to exhibit a high prevalence rate. The composition and resistance patterns of pathogens causing bloodstream infections vary to some extent across different regions and levels of hospitals in China.

Metanephric adenoma is a rare renal epithelial tumor with a low incidence and lack of specific clinical manifestations，resulting in a lack of uniformity in clinical understanding and treatment. Its etiology and pathogenesis are still unclear，and it may be related to the abnormal number and structure of chromosomes 2，7，and 17，as well as mutations in genes such as BRAF V600E，NF1，and NOTCH1，etc. There may be a transformed relationship between this tumor and Wilms’ tumor and papillary renal cell carcinoma. For diagnosis，it has diverse but non-specific clinical manifestations，and it is difficult to accurately differentiate it from other tumors in the imaging examination，and the confirmation of diagnosis relies on pathological and immunohistochemical staining. Treatment is mainly based on surgery to preserve the renal unit，such as partial nephrectomy，etc.，but the difficulty of preoperative diagnosis often leads to over-treatment，and there is a lack of standardized treatment protocols for metastatic posterior renal adenoma. The aim of this article is to provide a reference for the in-depth understanding of posterior renal adenomas and to optimize the clinical diagnosis and treatment strategies.

Based on conclusion of both domestic and international experiences, this expert consensus on the classification of hand degloving injury and the emergency repair with the avulsed skin is established, aiming to provide a guidance to surgeons on standardised treatment strategy and improve the management of hand degloving injury.

Objective:To explore the influencing factors of the subjective well-being of elderly individuals and improve the accuracy of well-being predictions.Methods:A multi-stage stratified sampling method was conducted in Guangdong province and Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region from August 2019 to October 2020. The health status and subjective well-being of older adults were assessed using a self-administered multidimensional health questionnaire, while overall well-being was evaluated with a single-item 5-point scale. The statistical analysis was performed using R software (version 4.3.2), with analytical methods including χ2 tests, univariate analysis, quantile regression and random forest model. Results:A total of 2 620 participants were recruited, and 70.9% of whom reported feeling happy.The depression symptom score of the elderly was 3.00(1.00, 6.00), emotional status score was (28.26±4.14), activities of daily living (ADL) score was 69.00(52.00, 81.00), and the body mass index(BMI) was (22.68±3.81)kg/m 2.The quantile regression results indicated that marital status (married)(Q 10: β=0.049; Q 50: β=0.014; Q 90: β=0.005) and depressive symptoms (no depression, depressive tendency)(Q 10: β=1.000; Q 50: β=1.000; Q 90: β=0.025) had varying effects on older adults' subjective well-being across three quantiles (Q 10, Q 50, Q 90)(all P<0.05). In contrast, social activity (no social activity)(Q 10: β=-0.072; Q 50: β=-0.011; Q 90: β=-0.006), ADL (severe disability, moderate disability, mild disability)(Q 10: β=-0.103, Q 50: β=-0.006, Q 90: β=-0.048; Q 10: β=-0.063, Q 50: β=-0.012, Q 90: β=-0.005; Q 10: β=-0.078, Q 50: β=-0.016, Q 90: β=-0.009), and emotional status (poor emotion, fair emotion)(Q 10: β=-0.261, Q 50: β=-0.009, Q 90: β=-0.025; Q 10: β=-0.140, Q 50: β=-0.017, Q 90: β=-0.029) had a negative impact on elderly subjective well-being at the three quantile points(all P<0.05). Random forest results indicated that depressive symptoms, ADL, emotional status, household monthly income per capita, BMI, social activity, multimorbidity status, and marital status were the most important determinants of subjective well-being. Conclusion:Depressive symptoms and emotional status have a significant impact on the subjective well-being of older adults. Additionally, ADL, household income per capita, BMI, and social engagement also play important roles in influencing well-being, while the emotional support provided by marriage should not be overlooked.

The treatment of castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) faces major challenges characterized by acquired resistance to androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) and consequent aggressive tumor progression. In this context, ubiquitination and deubiquitination modifications, as key protein post-translational modifications, play a crucial role in prostate tumourigenesis and progression. In recent years, the regulation of ubiquitination and deubiquitination in CRPC by the androgen receptor signalling pathway and the tumour microenvironment has received extensive attention, and these dynamic regulatory processes have become important molecular events driving CRPC progression by affecting the proliferation, metastasis, and immune escape ability of tumour cells. Therefore, in-depth analysis of the mechanisms of ubiquitination and deubiquitination in CRPC will help develop new therapeutic targets and provide more therapeutic options for patients.
