Objective To systematically evaluate the performance and methodological quality of the risk prediction models for urinary incontinence after radical prostatectomy,so as to provide a reference for selecting the appropriate risk prediction tool.Methods A systematic search was conducted in PubMed,Web of Science,Cochrane Library,CINAHL,EMBASE,CNKI,Wanfang,VIP,and Chinese biomedical literature database from inception to Jan.23,2024.Two researchers independently conducted literature screening and data extraction,and the prediction model risk of bias assessment tool(PROBAST)was applied to assess the risk of bias and applicability of the included studies.MedCalc software was used to perform a meta-analysis of the area under curve(AUC)of the validation groups using the random effect model,and the publication bias and sensitivity analysis were also performed.Results A total of 8 studies were included,with a combined sample size of 7 216 cases.Six models reported the AUC values,and 7 models reported calibration.The applicability of 2 studies was acceptable,while 6 were poor.The most commonly used type of prediction model was logistic regression.After excluding models with extreme AUC values,the random-effects meta-analysis result was 0.840(95%confidence interval 0.786 to 0.895),with no heterogeneity(I2=0%,P=0.737).The bias risk was high in all 8 studies,mainly due to retrospective cohort data,transformation of continuous variables into binary variables,unaddressed missing data,selection of predictors based on univariate analysis,incomplete report of the model discrimination and calibration,and lack of external validation.Egger test result indicated no significant publication bias.Conclusion The development and validation process of the existing risk prediction models for urinary incontinence after radical prostatectomy is still imperfect.Future research should construct prediction models based on multicenter and large-sample data,strengthen the clinical applicability assessment of the models,and strictly follow the reporting standards and procedures,so as to establish high-quality risk prediction models for clinical practice.

Objective:To explore the clinical efficacy of the splenic vessel-oriented anatomical plane priority strategy in Da Vinci robotic Kimura distal pancreatectomy.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 26 patients who underwent robotic-assisted distal pancreatectomy at Zhejiang Provincial People’s Hospital from January 2019 to September 2024. The cohort included 7 male and 19 female patients, aged (49.3±16.7) years. Surgical outcomes, including operative time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative complications, and hospital stay, were analyzed, and surgical techniques were summarized.Results:All 26 patients successfully completed the surgery. Pathological diagnoses included 5 cases of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm, 5 serous cystadenomas, 1 pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor, 6 solid pseudopapillary neoplasms, 4 mucinous cystic neoplasms, and 5 neuroendocrine tumors. The maximum tumor diameter was (2.3±1.1) cm, and the operative time was (183.2±77.4) min. The spleen preservation rate was 100% (26/26). Intraoperative blood loss was 50.0 (17.5, 125) ml, and postoperative hospital stay was (10.1±3.7) d. No Clavien-Dindo grade III or higher complications occurred. The post-operative pancreatic fistula (POPF) rate was 53.8% (14/26), including 38.5% (10/26) biochemical leak and 15.3% (4/26) grade B POPF, with no grade C POPF.Conclusion:The splenic vessel-oriented anatomical plane priority strategy in robotic-assisted spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy (Kimura technique) is safe and feasible, significantly improving the spleen preservation rate.

Objective:To analyze the status of nurse-led clinics at home and abroad, and to explore the research hotspots and development trends.Methods:China National Knowledge Infrastructure and Web of Science Core Collection database were searched for literature on nurse-led clinics. The search period was from January 1, 2000 to May 26, 2024. Visual analysis was implemented using CiteSpace software on the collected literature.Results:A total of 206 articles in Chinese and 1 990 articles in English were included. The number of English language publications in nurse-led clinics was higher than that of Chinese language publications, and the top three countries in terms of English language publications were the United Kingdom (533), the United States (420), and Australia (355). The number of publications in the Chinese literature grew slowly, and the journal with the highest number of publications was Chinese Nursing Management (69). Keywords such as "nurse specialist", "nursing management" and "health education" in the Chinese literature and "quality of life", "management" and "randomized controlled trial" in the English literature had a high degree of centrality. Rehabilitative care and hospice care for oncology patients was a common research trend in international nurse-led clinics. Conclusions:Nurse-led clinics have gained widespread attention as a model of advanced nursing practice. China's nurse-led clinics in general show a good development trend, but the amount of relevant research publications is relatively small, and the level of research still needs to be further improved.

Objective To investigate the rehabilitative effects of pelvic floor muscle training(PFMT)combined with electromyography biofeedback(EMG-BF)in patients with post-prostatectomy incontinence(PPI),aims to provide refer-ence for clinical nursing practice.Methods 98 patients with PPI who were treated at the urinary incontinence nurse-led clinic of a tertiary hospital in Shanghai were included using the method of convenience sampling.Patients enrolled from June to September 2022 were assigned to a control group(n=49),receiving PFMT alone at home.Those enrolled from November 2022 to February 2023 were assigned to an experimental group(n=49),receiving PFMT at home combined with EMG-BF at the nurse-led clinic.Both groups received intervention for 3 months,preceded by guidance for PFMT provided by incontinence specialist nurses.The urine leakage in 24-hour pad test,the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Short Form(ICIQ-SF),the Incontinence Quality of Life Questionnaires(I-QOL),and the Broome Pelvic Muscle Self-Efficacy Scale(BPMSES)were used to assess objective and subjective incontinence severity,quality of life,and self-efficacy of PFMT on the day of catheter removal and at 1,2,and 3 months post-intervention.Results A total of 46 patients were included in each group.The 24-hour urine leakage volume and I-QOL scores demonstrated significant between-group and over-time effects(P＜0.05),with no interaction effect between groups and time(P＞0.05)The ICIQ-SF and BPMSES scores exhibited interactive ef-fects between time and groups(P＜0.05).At 2 and 3 months post-intervention,the intervention group showed signifi-cantly lower ICIQ-SF scores(P＜0.001),and higher BPMSES scores(P＜0.05),compared to those in the control group.Conclusion PFMT combined with EMG-BF can effectively alleviate the objective and subjective severity of PPI,enhance patients'self-efficacy in PFMT,and improve their postoperative quality of life.

Objective:Based on " the surveillance, epidemiology, and end results" (SEER) database, we constructed a nomogram model for predicting cancer-specific survival time (CSST) in patients with T2 stage gallbladder cancer.Methods:Clinical data on 486 patients with T2 stage gallbladder cancer between 2018 and 2020 were retrospectively collected from the SEER database. The cohort comprised 147 male and 339 female patients with the age at diagnosis of (70±13) years. Clinical information including age, gender, tumor size, tumor stage, surgical type, number of lymph node dissection, postoperative treatment, and patients prognosis were extracted from the SEER database. We analyzed the factors influencing CSST in patients with T2 stage gallbladder cancer using Cox risk-proportional regression. The nomogram model was constructed based on independent risk factors obtained from multivariate Cox regression analysis, and the area under curve (AUC) of receiver operating characteristic curves (ROC) were used to evaluate the predictive accuracy of the nomogram model, while calibration plots, decision curve analysis, and clinical impact curves were used to evaluate the model's practicality and effectiveness.Results:The results of multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that patients with tumor size ≥30 mm ( HR=1.775, 95% CI: 1.123-2.806), AJCC stage ⅢB ( HR=6.083, 95% CI: 2.961-12.495), 1-3 lymph node dissection ( HR=6.139, 95% CI: 2.876-13.106), no postoperative chemotherapy ( HR=1.743, 95% CI: 1.096-2.771) had a higher risk of short CSST (all P<0.05). A nomogram model for predicting CSST was constructed based on the above risk factors, and the AUC of the ROC of which for predicting 1-year and 2-year CSST in patients with T2 stage gallbladder cancer was 0.778 and 0.696, respectively. Calibration plots demonstrated excellent collinearity between predicted and actual probabilities. Decision curve analysis and clinical impact curves confirmed high net benefit and clinical validity of the nomogram model. Conclusions:The tumor size ≥30 mm, AJCC stage ⅢB, 1-3 lymph node dissection and no postoperative chemotherapy are risk factors for short CSST in patients with T2 gallbladder cancer. The nomogram model based on the above risk factors have excellent performance in predicting CSST in patients with T2 stage gallbladder cancer.

Objective:To observe any effect of intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS) of a cerebellar hemisphere on the walking of stroke survivors with lower limb dysfunction, and to explore its possible mechanism.Methods:Thirty stroke survivors with walking dysfunction were randomly divided into an experimental group and a control group, each of 15. Before their daily routine rehabilitation, the control group received fake iTBS while the experimental group was given 600 pulses of iTBS over 200s. The experiment continued 5 days a week for 3 weeks. The Berg Balance Scale (BBS), the Fugl-Meyer lower extremity assessment (FMA-LE), the Modified Barthel Index (MBI) and Functional Ambulation Categories (FAC) were used before and after the treatment to evaluate the subjects′ balance, lower extremity motor function, walking and ability in the activities of daily living. Gait analysis was also performed. The amplitude of motor evoked potentials (MEPs) and the cortical silent period (CSP) were also noted to assess corticospinal excitability.Results:After the treatment, the average BBS, FMA-LE and MBI scores, FAC grading, stride length, stride speed, stride frequency, and the percentage of swing period in the walking cycle, as well as MEP amplitude and latency had improved significantly in the experimental group. All were then significantly better, on average, than in the control group. The control group also demonstrated significant improvement in all of the outcomes except the percentage of swing period in the walking cycle.Conclusion:iTBS of the cerebellum can improve the walking of stroke survivors with lower limb dysfunction. The mechanism may be related to the cerebellar regulation of spinal cord excitation of the cerebral cortex.
