Objective To explore the effects of sacral neuromodulation (SNM) on urodynamic parameters during the storage phase in patients with neurogenic bladder (NB), so as to provide reference for evaluating the efficacy of SNM. Methods A total 49 NB patients undergoing SNM at our hospital during Oct.2012 and May 2025 were enrolled. Baseline data and video-urodynamic parameters were collected. Changes in maximum cystometric capacity, maximum detrusor pressure during storage phase, and bladder compliance before and after treatment were assessed. Improvements in detrusor overactivity (DO) and vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) were also analyzed. Results Among the 49 patients,27 were male and 22 were female, with a mean age of (37.41±15.15) years, a median disease duration of 5.0 (2.0,15.5) years, and a median follow-up of 11 (1,32) months. Up to 37 patients (75.5%) received permanent sacral nerve pulse generator implantation (permanent implant group), while the remaining 12 were classified as the non-permanent implant group. Before and after the test period, all patients showed a significant increase in maximum cystometric capacity [ (218.0 (93.0,358.5) mL vs.300.0 (238.5, 400.0) mL, P<0.001], a decrease in maximum detrusor pressure during the filling phase [32.0 (13.5,71.0) cmH_2 O vs. 20.0 (9.0,50.0) cmH_2 O, P<0.001], and an improvement in bladder compliance [11.8 (8.3,25.6) mL/cmH_2 O vs.26.7 (8.6,44.1) mL/cmH_2O, P<0.001]. In the permanent implant group, comparisons before and after the test period showed an increase in maximum bladder capacity [ (239.16±147.23) mL vs. (312.24±121.83) mL, P<0.001], a decrease in maximum detrusor pressure during filling[32.0 (15.0,58.0) cmH_2 O vs.15.0 (9.0,41.0) cmH_2 O, P<0.05], and improved bladder compliance [10.8 (8.3,23.6) mL/cmH_2 O vs.28.6 (8.6,41.4) mL/cmH_2 O, P<0.001]. No statistically significant differences in these parameters before and after the test period were observed in the non-permanent implant group (P>0.05). A total of 17 patients in the permanent implant group underwent follow-up video urodynamics. Compared to pre-test values, significant improvements were observed in maximum detrusor pressure during filling, and bladder compliance both at the end of the test period and at the last follow-up (P<0.05). However, no statistically significant differences were found in maximum cystometric capacity, maximum detrusor pressure during filling, and bladder compliance between the end of the test period and the last follow-up (P>0.05). Among the 49 patients,21 had DO and 20 had VUR. Both DO and VUR showed improvement after the test period and at the last follow-up. Conclusion SNM can effectively improve storage function in NB patients, ameliorate detrusor overactivity and bladder compliance, and relieve or eliminate VUR in some patients. Long-term follow-up confirms that SNM provides stable therapeutic effects, demonstrating significant clinical value.

Objective To compare the technical indicators and clinical effect of catheter-directed thrombolysis(CDT)via two types of non-popliteal venous access in the treatment of acute mixed-type lower extremity deep vein thrombosis(DVT).Methods The clinical data of 119 patients with acute mixed-type lower extremity DVT,who were admitted to the Affiliated Jiangning Hospital of Nanjing Medical University and the Affiliated Nanjing Hospital of Nanjing Medical University of China to receive CDT treatment from January 2016 to June 2022,were retrospectively analyzed.Of the 119 patients,CDT via deep calf vein access was carries out in 45(calf vein group)and CDT via healthy-side femoral venous access was performed in 74(femoral vein group).The success rate of vascular puncture,success rate of catheterization technique,number of successful CDT venous puncturing,time spent for sheath placement,time spent for catheterization,thrombolysis time,used amount of thrombolytic agent and associated complications(including vein puncturing and anticoagulant thrombolysis-related complications),the thrombolytic effect of different anatomical segments,and the clinical efficacy during the follow-up period for at least 12 months were compared between the two groups.Results Successful catheterization via deep calf vein access and via healthy-side femoral vein access was obtained in 31 and 58 CDT patients respectively,with a technical success rate of 68.89％(31/45)and 78.38％(58/74)respectively,the difference between the two groups was not statistically significant(P=0.248).In 26 patients(67.74％)of the calf vein group,more than two times of puncturing were needed before the sheath placement could be successfully achieved.The time spent for sheath placement in the femoral vein group was(1.84±0.87)min,which was remarkably shorter than(10.52+6.13)min in the calf vein group(P＜0.001),but the time spent for catheterization in the femoral vein group was(41.60±13.31)min,which was obviously longer than(20.06+4.46)min in the calf vein group(P＜0.001).The thrombolysis time in the femoral vein group and the calf vein group was(5.34+1.43)days and(5.06±1.18)days respectively(P=0.354),and the used amount of thrombolytic agent in the femoral vein group was(352.16±71.98)×104 U,which was prominently larger than(284.68±77.64)× 104 U in the calf vein group(P＜0.001).The last follow-up check showed that the patency rate of the popliteal vein in the calf vein group was significantly higher than that in the femoral vein group(P=0.037).No statistically significant differences in the incidence of post-thrombotic syndrome(PTS)and the mean VEINES-QOL/Sym scores existed between the two groups(all P＞0.05).Conclusion Compared with CDT via healthy-side femoral vein access,CDT via deep calf vein access can better remove the thrombus in the popliteal vein and superficial femoral vein,and improve the femoropopliteal vein patency rate,although it has no obvious advantages in reducing the occurrence of PTS and in improving the VEINES-QOL/Sym score,moreover,the deep calf vein puncture and sheath placement require a high-level technique.

Objective To make a comprehensive review about transitional care practice for patients receiving percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage(PTBD)and to analyze the current transitional care contents and evaluation indexes so as to provide guidance for improving the quality of transitional care services for discharged patients carrying a PTBD tube.Methods A scoping review study design was used to conduct a computerized retrieval of academic papers concerning the transitional care practice for discharged patients carrying a PTBD tube from the databases of PubMed,WOS Core Collection,CINAHL,Embase,Cochrane Library,CNKI,VIP,Wanfang med online,and Sinomed.The retrieval time period was from the establishment of the database to August 20,2024.Two investigators independently screened the literature to determine the studies to be included and the relevant information to be extracted.Results A total of 18 papers were enrolled in this study.The transitional care ways included telephone follow-up,home visit,online platform follow-up,and outpatient clinic follow-up.The intervention contents extended from in-hospital to out-of-hospital for up to 6 months.The evaluation indexes focused on the patient's knowledge about PTBD tube,the incidence of tube-related complications,the satisfaction with care,self-care ability,etc.Conclusion At present,the transitional care for discharged patients carrying a PTBD tube has a variety of content elements,which can improve the self-care ability and quality of life of the discharged patients carrying a PTBD tube to a certain extent,although more individualized transitional care modes need to be further explored.The evaluation indexes are mainly the outcome assessment of PTBD tube care.It is necessary to strengthen the quality supervision of organizational structure and nursing process.

With the popularization of low-dose CT and the improvement of people’s awareness of physical examinations, the number of detected pulmonary nodules is gradually increasing, and there is a greater demand for standardized diagnostic and treatment guidelines. On April 23, 2024, the National Comprehensive Cancer Network updated its clinical practice guidelines for NSCLC to the version 5. Compared with the version 5 in 2023, the version 5 in 2024 updates focus on diagnostic evaluation, perioperative systemic therapy, treatment of advanced NSCLC, and molecular marker testing, which will be interpreted in this article with the aim of providing the latest guidance and reference for the diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer in China.

Objective:To analyze the molecular evolutional characteristics of the hemagglutinin and neuraminidase genes of influenza A (H3N2) viruses isolated in Yancheng from 2022 to 2024.Methods:The throat swab specimens of influenza-like illness ( ILI) from sentinel surveillance hospital and outbreak sites were detected using the method of real time Rt-qPCR. The influenza A(H3N2) viruses were isolated using MDCK cells culture method from April 2022 to Marh 2024. The strains isolated from 2022 to 2024 were selected randomly and their sequences of the HA1 and NA genes were amplified through one step RT-PCR method and the PCR products were sequenced.The nucleotide and amino acid site variations and evolutionary characteristics of the genes were analyzed using relevant bioinformatics software. The mutations of genes and nucleic acid locus were analyzed and the evolutional trees were generated using bioinformatics software.Results:A total of 5 020 samples were collected between April 2022 and March 2024, the positive detection rate of influenza virus nucleic acid was 18.59%(933/5 020).The winter and spring influenza peaks were obvious in the two monitoring seasons from April 2022 to March 2024. Among them, the summer influenza peak was obvious in the monitoring season from April 2022 to March 2023, and the H3N2 subtype influenza virus was the dominant epidemic strain in the two monitoring seasons. Genetic evolution tree displayed: the clustering relationships of the respective branches of HA1 and NA genes of 32 strains isolated in Yancheng were basically the same.The HA1 and NA genes of 24 strains isolated from 2023-2024 in Yancheng and the 2022-2024 Northern Hemisphere vaccine strain A/Darwin/9/2021 (H3N2) were located in the 3C.2a1b2a.2a.3a.1 evolutionary lineage, while the 8 strains isolated in the 2022 in Yancheng and the 2021-2022 Northern Hemisphere vaccine strain A/Cambodia/e0826360/2020 (H3N2) were located in the 3C.2a1b.2a.1a evolutionary lineage.The 6 strains (A/JSTH/11735/2023, A/JSTH/11788/2023, A/JSTH/11974/2023, A/JSYD/353/2023, A/JSYD/354/2023, A/JSTH/138/2023) all exhibited variations in the F79L, N122D, P239S, and K276E amino acid sites, which were present in both sporadic and outbreak strains. Because the strains of the antigen epitopes, receptor binding sites and glycosylation sites in the HA1 genes had a certain degree of variations in Yancheng in the 2022-2024 year, the immunogenicity matching between the 24 strains isolated in the 2023-2024 and the Northern Hemisphere vaccine strain A/Darwin/9/2021 was good, while the immunogenicity matching between the 8 strains isolated in the 2022 and the Northern Hemisphere vaccine strain A/Cambodia/e0826360/2022 was good; 32 strains isolated from 2022 to 2024 had no mutations in catalytic residues and drug resistant sites of NA genes.Conclusion:These result indicated that the HA1 and NA genes of influenza A/H3N2 viruses circulated in Yancheng city from 2022 to 2024 are changed gradually.The accumulation of these mutations would result in antigenic drift of influenza A(H3N2) viruses and increase the mismatching of the recommended vaccine strain.Compared with the vaccine strain A/Darwin/9/2021(H3N2), the strains isolated in the 2022 had substantially result in antigenic drift on the whole.The influenza A(H3N2) viruses surveillance should be strengthened to find the new mutant of virus in time.

Clinical practice guideline adaptation (hereinafter referred to as "guideline adaptation") is the consolidation and revision of existing high-quality guidelines so that the recommendations are better suited to the specific needs of different regions, thereby guiding optimal clinical practice. Currently, the guideline adaptations is increasing in number internationally, but their reporting quality still needs to be improved. In 2022, the RIGHT-Ad@pt guideline adaptation reporting checklist was released. It provides a detailed description of the guideline adaptation process and reporting content, which will significantly enhance the rigor, transparency, and standardization of guideline adaptations. This paper interprets and analyzes the 34 items on the checklist, with the aim of providing reference for guideline adapters to standardize the reporting process.

Liver transplantation, the only effective treatment for end stage liver disease, is characterized by complicated surgery, long surgery time, and high trauma. Patients may experience a variety of difficulties following surgery, including infection, abdominal bleeding and rejection, all of which directly affect the quality of rehabilitation. Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS), a novel perioperative management strategy, can effectively promote postoperative recovery of patients and has been extensively implemented in various fields of surgery. However, there are no scientific and universal ERAS protocols in the fields of liver transplantation in China. The first Consensus Recommendations of Enhanced Recovery for Liver Transplantation was issued by the International Liver Transplantation Society in December 2022, offering recommendations about ERAS strategies for liver transplantation recipients who receive deceased and living organ donations, and for living donors of liver transplantation. This paper provides a detailed interpretation of the key points to offer a practical reference for domestic liver transplantation perioperative ERAS management.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

Objective : To investigate the effect of miR-135a-5p on the expression levels of insulin-like factor 3 (INSL3) and testosterone in the testicular tissues of flutamide-induced cryptorchidism mouse． Methods : A model of flutamide-induced cryptorchidism in mouse was constructed，and the experiment was divided into normal control group，flutamide group，flutamide + miR-135a-5p knockdown group and flutamide + miR-135a-5p overexpression group. RT-qPCR was used to detect the expression levels of miR-135a-5p and INSL3 mRNA．Western blot was em- ployed to assess the protein expression level of INSL3．ELISA was performed to measure the expression level of tes- tosterone. Results : The expression levels of miR-135a-5p，INSL3 mRNA and protein and testosterone were significantly down-regulated in the testis of cryptorchid mice by flutamide (P＜0. 05) ．Knockdown of miR-135a-5p could downregulate the expression of INSL3 mRNA，INSL3 protein and testosterone (P ＜0. 01 ) ，while overexpression of miR-135a-5p had the opposite result． Conclusion miR-135a-5p decreased in flutamide-induced cryptorchidism mouse testicular tissues，and overexpression of miR-135a-5p could restore the expression levels of INSL3 and testosterone.

Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4B (eIF4B) plays an important role in mRNA translation initiation, cell survival and proliferation in vitro, but the in vivo function is poorly understood. In this study, via various experimental techniques such as hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining, flow cytometry, Western blotting, and immunohistochemistry, we investigated the role of eIF4B in mouse embryo development using an eIF4B knockout (KO) mouse model and explored the mechanism. We found that the livers, but not lungs, brain, stomach, or pancreas, derived from eIF4B KO mouse embryos displayed severe pathological changes characterized by enhanced apoptosis and necrosis. Accordingly, high expression of cleaved-caspase 3, and excessive activation of mTOR signaling as evidenced by increased expression and phosphorylation of p70S6K and enhanced phosphorylation of 4EBP1, were observed in mouse embryonic fibroblasts and fetal livers from eIF4B KO mice. These results uncover a critical role of eIF4B in mouse embryo development and provide important insights into the biological functions of eIF4B in vivo.
