BackgroundMetabolic syndrome (MetS) is highly prevalent in patients with mental disorders, including elevated diastolic or systolic blood pressure, elevated fasting glucose, hypercholesterolemia, abdominal obesity and so on. As an important component of MetS, the relationship between hypercholesterolemia and mental disorder has been extensively reported, whereas few genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have been conducted to identify the causal role of mental disorders in hypercholesterolemia. ObjectiveTo explore the potential causal relationship between mental disorders and hypercholesterolemia by two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) method. MethodsSummary data from GWAS were analyzed. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) strongly associated with mental disorders were chosen as instrumental variables, and hypercholesterolemia was used as outcome variable. MR analysis utilized inverse-variance weighted (IVW), MR-Egger regression and weighted median estimation (WME) as the primary analytical tool, and supplemented by simple mode (SM) and weighted mode (WM). The causal relationship between mental disorders and the risk of hypercholesterolemia was illustrated in terms of odds ratio (OR). ResultsA total of 36 SNPs associated with mental disorders were identified as instrumental variables. The primary findings from IVW revealed existence of a causal relationship between mental disorders and hypercholesterolemia (IVW: OR=1.067, 95% CI: 1.026~1.109, P=0.001). Findings from the additional methods (MR-Egger regression, WME, SM, WM) were basically consistent with those reported in IVW method. Further verification indicated that the causal relationship between mental disorders and the risk of hypercholesterolemia was not affected by genetic polymorphism (P>0.05). The absence of heterogeneity was confirmed through Cochran's Q test and MR-Egger regression (P>0.05). Furthermore, no causal association in the reverse direction was found (P>0.05). ConclusionThere is a causal relationship between mental disorders and hypercholesterolemia, and patients with mental disorders may have an increased probability of suffering from hypercholesterolemia.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of tip-flexible ureterorenoscope (tf-URS) with holmium laser for one-stage management of parapelvic cyst.Methods The clinical data of 26 patients treated with tf-URS incision and drainage using holmium laser from February 2016 to August 2018 were reviewed.The study were including 15 male and 11 female patients,ranging from 32 to 68 years old,with an average of 53.5 years old.There were 24 cases of unilateral single renal parapelvic cyst and 2 cases of bilateral single renal parapelvic cyst.There were 4 cases in 26 cases with unilateral single renal parapelvic cyst and contralateral single renal cyst,2 cases with unilateral single renal parapelvic cyst and ipsilateral kidney of stones.The diameter of parapelvic cyst was 3.4-5.6 cm,average 4.8 cm.All patients had undergone holmium laser endo-decortication of parapelvic cyst by tf-URS.With general anesthesia,tf-URS accessed pelvis retrogradely and decorticated parapelvic cyst with 200 μm Holium laser to drainage the cyst to pelvis.If the tf-URS was not placed successfully for the first time,Double-J tubes were retained for 1-2 weeks before treatment.The operative time,hospitalization time,blood loss,postoperative complications and clinical symptoms were collected and analyzed.Results The one-time access success rate of insertion of ff-URS was 88.5% (23/26).All operations were successful without severe complications.The average time of operation was 17.2 min,ranging from 11 to 25 min.In 3-30 months follow-up,the cysts disappeared in 22 patients and reduced by more than one half in 1 patients.Flank pain relieved in 19 patients.Conclusions Holmium laser endo-decortication of parapelvic cyst by tf-URS could be a simple,minimally invasive,safe and effective method for parapelvic cyst,which is worthy of further promotion and application in clinical practice.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of transurethral laser shovel type vaporresection-enucleation of the prostate (LS-VREP) based on the inter-layer of surgical capsule for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH),which was less 80 g weight.Methods From September 2013 to August 2016,a retrospective study was performed including 1 369 cases of BPH patients,who were treated by 120-160 W transurethral laser (straight green-light) shovel type vapor-resection-enucleation of the prostate (LS-VREP group,n =1 008) and transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP group,n =361).The preoperative data,including average age,prostate weight,IPSS,QOL,Qmax and PVR was reviewed.There was no significant difference of the above data between the two groups (P > 0.05).Operative time,changes of hemoglobin and serum sodium concentration,postoperative bladder irrigation time,catheter indwelling duration,hospital stay,pre-and 3 months post-operative IPSS,QOL,Q PVR were recorded.In addition,complications were monitored.Results Mean operation time of LS-VREP group was (46.1 ± 18.6) min,while TURP group was (48.2 ± 15.2) min,and there was no difference between the two groups (P > 0.05).Post-operative mean hemoglobin concentration and serum sodium concentration of LS-VREP group decreased (1.6 ± 1.2) g/L and (1.2 ± 0.6) mmol/L respectively,while those of TURP group decreased (5.7 ± 3.6) g/L and (3.2 ± 1.2) mmol/L,and the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05).Mean post-operative catheter indwelling time,and post-operative hospital stay of LS-VREP group was (42.9 ± 12.7) h and (3.2 ± 0.6) d,while TURP group was (65.7 ± 15.4) h and (5.4 ± 1.2) d,and the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05).Comparatively IPSS,QOL,Qmax and PVR were all improved significantly in both groups at 3 months after operation (P < 0.05),but no significant difference was found between the two groups (P > 0.05).After three months' follow-up of post-operation,as for the complication rate,including TURS,bleeding requiring reoperation,incontinence,dysuria and erectile dysfunction,LS-VREP group (15/1 008) was less than that of TURP group (30/361,P < 0.05).Conclusions The LS-VREP based on the inter-layer of surgical capsule is safe and effective for the treatment of BPH patients whose prostate weight was less than 80 g.LS-VREP showed less intraoperative bleeding,faster postoperative recovery,and high safety,which is considered a safe,effective and optimized minimally invasive surgery.
