Objective: To explore the changes of mechanosensitive channels Piezos (Piezo 1 and Piezo 2) in neurogenic bladder (NB) of young rats and their effects，so as to provide reference for clinical search of new therapeutic targets. Methods: A total of 30 female young SD rats were divided into 5 groups based on random number table method：sham operation group (sham)，2-week nerve transection group (NB-2W)，6-week nerve transection group (NB-6W)，2-week nerve transection + Piezos inhibitor group (NB-P-2W) and 6-week nerve transection + Piezos inhibitor group (NB-P-6W)，with 6 rats in each group.The NB models were constructed by transecting the L6 and S1 spinal nerves of young rats.The NB-2W and NB-6W groups were not intervened after modeling，while the NB-P-2W and NB-P-6W groups were intraperitoneally injected with Piezos inhibitor GsMTx4 (10 mg/kg) every 2 days after modeling.Bladder cystometry and ultrasound were performed after 2 and 6 weeks of transection.The expressions of Piezos and fibrosis-related indexes (Collagen Ⅰ and α-smooth muscle actin) were detected in bladder tissues. Results: The results of bladder cystometry showed that the basal bladder pressure in NB-2W group was significantly increased，while it was slightly decreased but was still higher in NB-6W group than in the sham group (P<0.05).Basal bladder pressure was lower in NB-P-2W group than in NB-2W group，but was higher than that in the sham group; basal bladder pressure was lower in NB-P-6W group than in NB-6W group，but higher than that in the sham group (P<0.05).Compared with the sham group，the NB-2W and NB-6W groups had firstly increased and then decreased maximum cystometric capacity (MCC) (P<0.05).Compared with NB-2W group，NB-P-2W group had lower bladder leakage point pressure (BLPP)，but higher MCC and bladder compliance (BC) (P<0.05).Compared with NB-6W group，NB-P-6W group had significantly lower BLPP but higher MCC and BC (P<0.05).HE and MASSON staining and ultrasound results showed that，with the extension of nerve transection time，bladder fibrosis gradually worsened，the bladder wall became rough and thickened，calculi were visible inside，and hydronephrosis gradually appeared; the degree of fibrosis in NB-P-2W and NB-P-6W groups was less than that in NB-2W and NB-6W groups，and no hydronephrosis was observed in the upper urinary tract.In addition，Western blotting and immunohistochemical results showed that NB-2W and NB-6W groups had significantly higher relative expression levels of Piezos，Collagen Ⅰ and α-SMA than the sham group (P<0.01)，while NB-P-2W and NB-P-6W groups had lower relative expression levels of Piezos,Collagen Ⅰ and α-SMA than NB-2W and NB-6W groups (P<0.01). Conclusion: The increased expressions of mechanosensitive channels Piezos in NB young rats may be involved in the progression of bladder fibrosis，but its mechanism needs further study.

Objective: To investigate the influencing factors of overactive bladder (OAB) in college freshmen and the impacts of OAB on their mental health, quality of life and social interaction. Methods: An epidemiological questionnaire survey was conducted in an anonymous manner on the prevalence of OAB among 5300 freshmen aged 17 to 22 years enrolled in the 2023—2024 academic year in Xinxiang Medical University and Sanquan College of Xinxiang Medical University.The questionnaire included questions on basic information, history of urinary tract infection, constipation, smoking, history of alcohol consumption, history of coffee/strong tea drinking, history of carbonated beverage drinking, redundant prepuce, phimosis, holding urine, chronic insomnia, self-rating anxiety scale (SAS), quality of life score (QoL), and social avoidance and distress scale (SADS).The influencing factors of OAB were analyzed with multivariate logistic regression analysis.The subjects were grouped according to whether they had OAB, and the differences in SAS, QoL and SADS between the OAB group and non-OAB group were compared.The impacts of OAB on the anxiety level, quality of life, and social interaction were analyzed with multiple linear regression analysis. Results: The overall prevalence rate of OAB was 4.9% (244/5018).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the history of urinary tract infection (OR=0.177), constipation (OR=0.636), smoking (OR=0.582), alcohol consumption (OR=0.685), coffee/strong tea drinking (OR=0.387), carbonated beverage drinking (OR=0.631), redundant prepuce (OR=0.673), phimosis (OR=0.311), urine holding (OR=0.593), and chronic insomnia (OR=0.256) were influencing factors for the occurrence of OAB (P＜0.05).The OAB group had higher SAS score [(41.18±6.54) vs. (38.61±6.36)], QoL score [(3.65±1.20) vs. (2.79±0.95)], social avoidance score [(6.25±1.86) vs. (5.86±1.51)], social distress score [(6.27±1.59) vs. (5.97±1.32)], and total SADS score [(12.51±2.35) vs. (11.84±2.01)] than the non-OAB group (P＜0.05).The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that OAB could independently affect the scores of QoL, SAS, and SADS.The OAB group had higher scores of QoL, SAS, and SADS compared with the non-OAB group (P＜0.001). Conclusion: History of urinary tract infection, constipation, smoking, alcohol consumption, coffee/strong tea drinking, carbonated beverage drinking, redundant prepuce, phimosis, urine holding, and chronic insomnia are influencing factors for the occurrence of OAB in male college students.Moreover, OAB has negative impacts on their mental health, quality of life, and social interaction.

Objective This study aimed to assess the clinical efficacy of Shenling Baizhu Granules in treating low anterior resection syndrome(LARS)in rectal cancer.Methods The study employed a randomized,double-blind,placebo-parallel controlled,single-center,validity-tested clinical trial design.December 2019 to June 2022,the Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery and Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine of Peking University First Hospital recruited 110 patients who had undergone low anterior resection(LAR)for rectal cancer and subsequently developed LARS.These patients,meeting the enrollment criteria,were randomly assigned into the treatment group(55)and the control group(55)using the double-blind method principle.The randomization table was generated by SAS 9.2 software employing the double-blind method.The treatment group received oral Shenling Baizhu Granules,while the control group received oral placebo granules.Both groups commenced treatment on the 10th day after-surgery for 30 consecutive days.Patients were evaluated using LARS score,traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)symptom grading,and XU Zhongfa score before treatment,on the 15th day of treatment,and on the 1st day after treatment cessation.Results Out of 110 patients,107 were included in the full analysis set for efficacy analysis:55 patients in the treatment group and 55 patients in the control group.One case in the treatment group was excluded(against protocol),and two cases in the control group were excluded(one lost to follow-up,one against protocol).Baseline data between the two groups were consistent,with no statistically significant difference.Before treatment,LARS scores for the treatment and control groups were 33.0(31.0,36.0)and 34.0(32.0,37.0)respectively.Patients with TCM symptom scores of grades 2 to 3 accounted for 92.73％and 90.57％in the treatment and control groups,respectively,with no statistically significant difference.After 30 days of treatment,LARS scores for the treatment and control groups were 21.0(19.8,23.0)and 26.0(22.0,28.0)respectively.The percentage of patients with TCM symptom scores of grades 2 to 3 decreased to 33.33％in the treatment group and 66.04％in the control group,with a statistically significant difference.Shenling Baizhu Granules showed rapid improvement in watery or loose stools in post-operative rectal cancer patients.After 30 days of treatment,Shenling Baizhu Granules significantly improved appetite,stool consistency,abdominal distension,abdominal pain,and eructation symptoms in postoperative rectal cancer patients.Before treatment,the XU Zhongfa scores for the treatment and control groups were 3.0(2.0,4.3)and 4.0(2.0,4.0)respectively,with no statistically significant difference.After 30 days of treatment,the XU Zhongfa scores for the treatment and control groups were 7.0(6.0,8.0)and 6.0(5.0,7.0)respectively,with the treatment group significantly higher than the control group(P＜0.01).Conclusion Shenling Baizhu Granules can effectively improve LARS symptoms in patients following LAR of rectal cancer within a short period of time.

Objective:To study the changes of patient-related costs and the use of stents and other consumables before and after the centralized procurement of coronary stents.Methods:The inpatient medical insurance settlement case data of 1,973 patients with coronary stent implantation admitted to Daping Hospital of Army Medical University from December 2019 to October 2021 were selected.Among them,the data of 1,317 cases of percutaneous cardiovascular surgery and coronary stent implantation with serious or complications and accompanying disease group were slected according to disease diagnosis related groups(DRG),which were divided into the pre-centralized procurement group(667 cases)and the post-centralized procurement group(650 cases)according to the centralized procurement of coronary stents before and after.The costs of patients'medical consumables with the consumption of patients'medical consumables and the impact of the use of consumables such as coronary stents on the costs of medical consumables were compared.Results:There was no significant statistical difference in the hospitalization days and the average number of stents used in patients undergoing percutaneous cardiovascular procedures and coronary stent implantation with centralized procurement of coronary stents.There was a statistically significant difference in the total diagnosis and treatment cost,medical consumables cost,medicines and consumables cost and medicines cost between the pre-centralized procurement group and the post-centralized procurement group(Z=-22.316,-23.546,-22.917,-5.724,P<0.05).The cost of stents[16 260(13 300,32 272)yuan],the number of catheter guidewire balloon sheaths consumables[5(4,8)sets(pieces)],and the cost of catheter guidewire balloon sheaths consumables[8 719(5 805,15 372)yuan]in the pre-collection group were collected.There were statistically significant differences in the stent cost[1 059(590,1 770)yuan],the number of catheter guidewire balloon sheaths consumables[8(7,12)sets(pieces)],and the cost of catheter guidewire balloon sheaths consumables[5 708(3 392,12 871)yuan]between the two groups(Z=-30.452,16.582,-7.670,P<0.05).There was a statistical correlation between the cost of coronary stents and the cost of catheter guidewire balloon sheaths before and after centralized volume procurement on the cost of medical consumables for patients(r=0.903,0.473,0.785,0.953,P<0.05).The correlation coefficient between the cost of coronary stents and the cost of medical consumables for patients in the post-centralized procurement group decreased compared to the pre-centralized procurement group,the correlation coefficient between the cost of catheter guidewire balloon sheath and the cost of medical consumables for patients increased.Conclusion:The centralized procurement of coronary stents has a significant cost control effect on patients in the disease groups,and affects the cost structure of medical consumables.Combined with DRG reform,it can continuously improve the standardization and scientificity of clinical use of medical consumables.

Objective:To evaluate whether additional radical surgery is necessary following non-curative endoscopic resection of early colorectal cancer.Method:Clinicopathological data in 104 patients following non-curative endoscopic resection of early colorectal coucer at the Department of General Surgery, Peking University First Hospital between Jan 2011 and Dec 2021.Results:Lymph node metastasis and/or residual cancer was found in 23 patients (22%), including 12 cases of lymph node metastasis, 7 cases of residual cancer and 4 patients with both residual cancer and lymph node metastasis. Univariate analysis indicated that vascular infiltration, positive vertical margin, and female gender were risk factors for lymph node metastasis. Risk factors for residual cancer were tumors ≥2 cm in size, negative lift sign, infiltration depth of ≥1 000 μm, and positive horizontal and vertical margins. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis revealed that vascular invasion, positive vertical margins, and being female were independent risk factors for lymph node metastasis, while positive vertical margins was independent risk factor for residual cancer. Salvage surgery lasted for a median of 184 (156-233) minutes, with an estimated blood loss of 50 (20-100) ml and an average postoperative hospital stay of 9 (8-11) days. Seven cases of Clavein-Dindo Ⅱ or higher complications were observed, including pulmonary embolism in 1 case , anastomotic leakage in one, lymphatic fistula in one, bowel obstruction in 2 cases and urinary tract infection in 2 cases.Conclusion:Salvage surgery is mandatory for early endoscopic non-curative resection of colorectal cancer.

Objective:To investigate the changes of directional connections of auditory and non-auditory in patients with noise-induced deafness (NID) by degree centrality (DC) and Granger causality analysis (GCA), and to explore the mode of brain function remodeling after NID.Methods:In October 2023, a total of 58 patients diagnosed with NID by the Occupational Diseases Department of Yantaishan Hospital of Yantai from 2014 to 2022 were collected as case group (NID group), and 42 healthy volunteers matched by gender, age and education level were selected as the control group (HC group). Resting state-functional magnetic resonance imaging (Rs-fMRI) was perfomed and PC analysis was performed. The brain regions with statistically significant differences in DC values between groups and the bilateral Heschl regions were extracted as regions of interest (ROI) for voxel-based whole brain GCA and correlation analysis.Results:Compared with HC group, the SOG.L DC value of NID group was lower, the connectivity values of SFGdor.L to SOG.L was increased, the connectivity value of PCL.L to SOG.L was decreased, the connectivity values of ORBmid.L, PCG.R and CUN. L/R to HES.L were increased, the connectivity value of SFGdor.L to HES.L was decreased, the connectivity value of HES.L to PCUN.L was decreased, the connectivity values of ORBsup.L and PCG.R to HES.R were increased, the connectivity value of HES.R to CUN.L was decreased ( P voxel level<0.01, P cluster level<0.05). The connectivity value of PCL.L to SOG.L was negatively correlated with the weighted value of the better whisper frequency ( P<0.05) . Conclusion:The NID patients have abnormal directional connectivity activity in multiple brain regions, such as auditory vision, executive control, somatosensory movement, and default mode network. It is suggested that hearing loss may cause complex neural remodeling between auditory and non-auditory centers.

Background and objective A reasonable and standardized dietary plan and procedure can help patients recovering quickly from lung cancer surgery.The aim of this study is to optimize the diet plan and procedure mainly based on medium chain triglyceride(MCT)diet and explore its clinical advantages for postoperative lung cancer patients.Methods From October 2023 to December 2023,a total of 156 patients were collected,who underwent lung cancer surgery in Lung Cancer Cen-ter,West China Hospital of Sichuan University.The patients were randomized into MCT group(76 cases)and routine diet(RD)group(80 cases).Clinical symptoms,biochemical index,postoperative hospitalization time and cost,dietary satisfaction and hospitalization comfort between the two groups were analyzed.Results The mean anus exhausting time in MCT group[24.00(9.75,36.97)h]was significantly shorter than that in RD group[28.50(24.00,48.00)h](P＜0.001).And the incidence of dizzi-ness(18.42％),nausea and vomiting(6.58％)in MCT group were remarkably lower than those in RD group(51.25％,31.25％)(P＜0.001).Hospitalization comfort score in MCT group[(16.74±1.70)]was significantly higher than that in RD group[(14.83±2.34)](P=0.016).Meanwhile,the average hospitalization cost in MCT group[(39,701.82±8105.47)￥]showed an obvious decrease compared with RD group[(44,511.79±9593.19)￥](P=0.007).Conclusion Optimizing the dietary plan and procedure mainly based on MCT diet for postoperative lung cancer patients can help the recovery of gastrointestinal function and improve hospitalization comfort,which promoted overall postoperative rehabilitation of patients with lung cancer surgery.

[Objective] To explore the effectiveness of scrotal rapid rehabilitation bandage (scrotal girdle) in preventing postoperative complications of varicocele. [Methods] A total of 80 patients with varicocele who underwent microscopical varicocele ligation during Dec.2021 and May 2023 were divided into the experimental group (n=40) and control group (n=40) by the random number table method.All patients received wound dressing one week after surgery and stopped using it after wound healing.Additionally, the experimental group was treated with scrotal girdle for another 8 weeks.The preoperative and postoperative scores of scrotal edema on the 2nd, 4th and 6th day after surgery, satisfaction, length of hospital stay, frequency of dressing changes, pain intensity, complications, serum testosterone level and semen routine at the 12th week after surgery were compared between the two groups. [Results] The score of scrotal edema in the experimental group was (1.12±0.38) on the 6th day after operation, which was significantly lower than that in the control group (1.68±0.50) (P<0.05). The hospitalization time of the experimental group was significantly shorter than that of the control group, and the frequency of dressing changes was also significantly reduced, with statistical significance (P<0.05). The patient satisfaction was 95% in the experimental group higher than 80% in the control group (P<0.05). The sperm density was (54.12±6.23) ×10⁶/L and the sperm motility rate was (66.45±0.44)% in the experimental group, while the sperm density was (41.53±8.51) ×10⁶/L and the sperm motility rate was (57.85±0.47)% in the control group.The sperm density, sperm motility rate, and sperm malformation rate of both groups were significantly improved after surgery, and the sperm density and sperm motility rate of the experimental group improved more significantly than those of the control group, with statistical significance (P<0.05). [Conclusion] The scrotal rapid rehabilitation bandage is more advantageous than traditional external bandaging materials for patients with varicocele after operation, which can accelerate the postoperative rehabilitation of patients and has more clinical practicability.
