Objective: To analyze the effects of blue light on the formation of kidney stones. Methods: A total of 40 rats were randomly divided into 4 groups：A，B，C，and D，with 10 rats in each group.Rats in groups C and D were administered with a mixture of 10 g/L ethylene glycol，20 g/L ammonium chloride，and 100 g/L calcium gluconate via gavage (2 mL per mouse)，while rats in groups A and B received an equal volume of physiological saline via gavage.From the second day after gavage，rats in groups A and C were subjected to twice-daily blue light irradiation (one hour per session) as an intervention，while rats in groups B and D were subjected to fluorescent lamp irradiation using the same method.After 4 weeks of intervention，the 24-hour urine samples were collected，and the rats were then euthanized for the collection of blood and kidney tissue samples.Serum levels of antidiuretic hormone (ADH)，urinary Ca ，and urinary oxalate (Oxa) were measured.Levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) in kidney tissues were detected using ELISA.Von Kossa staining was performed to observe pathological changes in kidney tissues and the presence of calcium salt crystals in the kidneys. Results: Compared with groups A and B，groups C and D showed higher accumulation of calcium salt crystals in renal tissues，as well as elevated levels of ADH，urinary Ca ，urinary Oxa，and MDA in renal tissues, additionally，the SOD level in renal tissues was lower (P<0.05).Compared with group D，group C exhibited higher accumulation of calcium salt crystals in renal tissues，along with increased levels of ADH，urinary Ca ，urinary Oxa，and MDA in renal tissues；conversely，the SOD level in renal tissues was lower (P<0.05). Conclusion: Blue light may increase the formation of kidney stones in rats by promoting the secretion of ADH in serum and oxidative stress in kidney tissues through the brain-kidney axis.

This study aims to analyze the screening results and epidemiological characteristics of prostate cancer (PCa) among elderly males in the rural areas of Songjiang, Shanghai City, through the implementation of a preliminary prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening based on a community-linkage model, and to explore an effective screening approach. A retrospective observational study design was employed to collect data from residents who underwent PSA screening at Songjiang Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, in collaboration with multiple community health service centers in Songjiang District, Shanghai City, between June 2022 and June 2024, through free clinics and annual health examinations. Prostate biopsy was recommended for individuals with total PSA (tPSA) levels >10 ng/ml and those with 4 ng/ml≤tPSA≤10 ng/ml and abnormal free-to-total PSA (f/tPSA) ratios. Clinical characteristics of detected PCa patients were analyzed. Follow-up was conducted through phone calls and home visits by family doctors, coupled with enhanced health education. The results indicated that a total of 17 198 residents participated in the screening, among which 2 234 (12.99%) had tPSA levels between 4 ng/ml and 10 ng/ml, and 257 (1.49%) had tPSA levels >10 ng/ml. Ultimately, 417 residents underwent prostate biopsy, with 171 being diagnosed with PCa, yielding a positive biopsy rate of 41.00% and a PCa detection rate of 0.99%. The predominant pathological subtype among PCa patients was adenocarcinoma (168 cases, 98.24%). Of the 146 PCa patients who received treatment, the majority were classified as intermediate or high-risk (124 cases, 84.93%). Furthermore, with the optimization of the screening model, there was a significant increase in the proportion of subsequent outpatient visits. In conclusion, the community-linkage-based PSA screening model demonstrated high effectiveness in screening for PCa among elderly males in the rural areas of Songjiang, Shanghai City. Epidemiological findings revealed that PCa patients in this region are primarily composed of intermediate and high-risk groups, highlighting the need for intensified early screening and health education.

【Objective】 To analyze the clinical characteristics of stone culture and preoperative urine culture of patients with renal calculi in Songjiang area of Shanghai and the relationship with postoperative infection. 【Methods】 The clinical data of 213 patients with kidney stones treated at our hospital during Jan.2020 and Jun.2022 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients underwent preoperative clean midcourse urine culture, drug sensitivity test and stone culture. The gender difference between male and female patients and the difference in postoperative infection between stone/bacterial culture positive and negative patients were analyzed. 【Results】 Among the 213 patients, 47(22.1%) had positive urine culture, and the most common bacterium was Escherichia coli (20 strains, 42.6%). The proportion of Escherichia coli was significantly higher in female patients than in male patients [12 strains (48.0%) vs.8 strains (36.4%), P<0.05], while the proportion of Klebsiella pneumoniae was significantly higher in male patients than in female patients [5 strains (22.7%) vs. 3 strains (12.0%), P<0.05]. Drug sensitivity results showed the main Gram-negative bacteria were highly resistant to ampicillin/sulbactam, cefazolin and cefuroxime, but sensitive to imipenem, kanamycin and piperacillin/tazobactam. The main Gram-positive bacteria were highly resistant to clindamycin, erythromycin and levofloxacin, but sensitive to vancomycin, teicoplanin and linezolid. Stone culture was positive in 31 cases (14.6%), and the most common bacterium was Proteus mirabilis (9 strains, 29.0%). However, there was no significant difference in the main bacterial spectrum between male and female patients. The positive rate of urine culture/stone culture in patients with postoperative fever/urosepsis was significantly higher than that in patients with negative urine culture/stone culture (P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 Escherichia coli is the main urinary spectrum of patients with kidney stones in Songjiang area, which is greatly different from the stone culture results. In clinical practice, etiological detection and antibiotics are necessary to reduce the occurrence of postoperative infection.
