Objective: To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of pudendal nerve modulation (PNM) in the treatment of female pudendal neuralgia (PN)，so as to promote the clinical application of this technique. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 20 female PN patients who failed conservative treatment at Gongli Hospital during Nov.2020 and Oct.2023.All patients underwent simultaneous PNM and sacral nerve modulation (SNM) with the assistance of 3D printing navigation.Dual-stage test electrodes for PNM and SNM were implanted，followed by alternate therapeutic trial for each modality.Secondary conversion rates and longitudinal outcomes，including visual analogue score (VAS)，patient health questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9)，and quality of life (QoL) scores were compared preoperatively，post-stage Ⅰ，and at 3，6，and 12 months post-stage Ⅱ. Results: All operations were successful.After the trial phase，the secondary conversion rate for PNM was significantly higher than that for SNM; 16 patients (16/20，80%) chose the second-phase PNM implantation surgery，3 (3/20，15%) chose second-phase SNM implantation，and 1 (1/20，5%) had electrodes removed due to ineffective results from both trials.Further assessment revealed that the improvements in VAS，PHQ-9，and QoL scores for PNM patients were significantly better than those for SNM patients after the first phase of surgery and at 3，6 and 12 months after the second-phase conversion (P<0.05).No complications such as electrode migration or infection were observed during the follow-up of 12-15 months. Conclusion: PNM provides more effective relief of pain symptoms and improvements in depressive states for female PN patients compared to SNM.With the assistance of 3D printing navigation，the operation is simple and safe，and offers stable therapeutic effects.It is worthy of clinical promotion and application.

Objective To investigatethe relationship between gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) symptoms and clinicopathological characteristics, p53 expression, and survival of Chinese patients with esophageal adenocarcinoma. Methods A total of 3882 patients with esophageal adenocarcinoma, 970 matched patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, and 970 matched patients with gastric cardia adenocarcinoma were included to compare the incidence of GERD symptoms. Patients with esophageal adenocarcinoma were divided into two groups according to the presence and absence of GERD symptoms. The differences in clinicopathological characteristics and p53 expression between the two groups were compared by chi-square test, and the differences in survival between the two groups were compared by landmark analysis. Results The incidence of GERD symptoms increased successively in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, esophageal adenocarcinoma, and gastric cardia adenocarcinoma. In patients with esophageal adenocarcinoma, the proportions of male, less than 65 years old, lower thoracic tumors, tumors without squamous cell carcinoma, poorly differentiation, early tumors (stage 0-I), and p53-positive tumors in the group with GERD symptoms were higher than those in the group without GERD symptoms; moreover, the long-term survival (≥15 years) was better. Conclusion GERD symptom is an important clinical sign of esophageal adenocarcinoma. It is closely related to specific clinicopathological characteristics, p53 overexpression, and good long-term prognosis.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy for interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS). Methods This single-center prospective study involved 97 IC/BPS patients treated in our hospital during Sep.2023 and Apr.2025, who underwent transurethral bladder injection of PRP. The injections were administered once a month for four sessions. The global response assessment (GRA) score,24-hour urinary frequency, maximum single voiding volume, visual analogue scale (VAS) score, O'Leary score, pelvic pain, urgency and frequency (PUF) score, and Zung self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) score were analyzed. Results All 97 patients completed four injections. The GRA score,24-hour urinary frequency, VAS score, O'Leary score and PUF score were improved significantly after treatment (P<0.007). Intraoperative bladder capacity with significant improvement were observed after the first injection (P<0.01), and the maximum urine output were observed after the fourth injection (P<0.007). The SAS score was not significantly improved. Conclusion Repeated PRP injections can effectively alleviate bladder pain, improve frequent and urgent urination symptoms, and increase the bladder capacity.

Objective:To investigate the risk factors and prognostic value of the textbook outcome (TO) in patients with advanced gastric cancer (AGC) who underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by surgical resection.Methods:This is a retrospective cohort study. A total of 253 patients with AGC who underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy combined with gastrectomy and D2 lymphadenectomy in the Department of Gastric Surgery, Fujian Medical University Union Hospital from January 2010 to December 2019 were retrospectively included. There were 195 males and 58 females, aged (60.3±10.0) years (range: 27 to 75 years). The patients were then divided into the TO group ( n=168) and the non-TO group ( n=85). Multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the independent predictors of TO. Univariate and multivariate Cox analysis were used to analyze independent prognosis factors for overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS). Propensity score matching was performed to balance the TO and non-TO groups, and the Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate survival rates and draw survival curves. Results:Among the 253 patients, 168 patients (66.4%) achieved TO. The Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group score ( OR=0.488, 95% CI: 0.278 to 0.856, P=0.012) and ypN stage ( OR=0.626, 95% CI:0.488 to 0.805, P<0.01) were independently predictive of TO. Multivariate analysis revealed that TO was an independent risk factor for both OS ( HR=0.662, 95% CI: 0.457 to 0.959, P=0.029) and DFS ( HR=0.687, 95% CI: 0.483 to 0.976, P=0.036). After matching, the 5-year OS rate (42.2% vs. 27.8%) and the 5-year DFS rate (37.5% vs. 27.8%) were significantly higher in the TO group than in the non-TO group (both P<0.05). Furthermore, patients in the non-TO group benefited significantly from postoperative chemotherapy (both P<0.05), but those in the TO group did not (both P>0.05). Conclusion:TO is an independent prognosis factor in patients undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy and surgery for AGC and is associated with postoperative chemotherapy benefits.

Autophagy associated genes were detected by RT-qPCR and, autophagy associated proteins were detected by Western Blot. Correlation analysis with clinical parameters was performed. SPSS26.0 and GraphPad Prism 9.0 were used for statistical analysis, Independent sample t-test was used for comparison between groups, and non-normal distribution data were expressed as M ( Q1, Q3), Spearman correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between variables, and P<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results:①Compared with the mRNA expression levels of ATG12(0.007 6±0.005 9), ATG16(0.003 1±0.002 2) and LC3(0.038 2±0.017 1) before treatment, after 24 weeks treatment with abatacept, the mRNA expression levels of ATG12 (0.011 4±0.003 1) and ATG16 (0.004 2±0.000 7) increased ( t=-2.49, P=0.042; t=-2.15, P=0.038), and the mRNA expression level of LC3 (0.022 6±0.008 3) was decreased ( t=3.28, P=0.003) after 24 weeks of abatacept treatment.②After 24 weeks, the expression level of ATG16 mRNA in the remission group (0.004 8±0.000 8) was higher than that in the non-remission group (0.003 8±0.000 3) ( t=-3.41, P=0.003). The expression level of LC3 mRNA in remission group (0.027 3±0.007 3) was lower than that in non-remission group (0.017 9±0.006 5) ( t=3.69, P=0.017). ③ATG5 mRNA expression level was positively correlated with TJC, ESR and anti-CCP antibody ( r=0.75, P=0.049; r=0.43, P=0.044; r=0.97, P=0.011). The expression level of ATG12 mRNA was negatively correlated with DAS28, ESR and hsCRP ( r=-0.46, P=0.025; r=-0.51, P=0.026; r=-0.41, P=0.031). The expression level of ATG16 mRNA was positively correlated with ESR and hsCRP ( r=0.50, P=0.030; r=0.40, P=0.024). The expression level of Beclin-1 mRNA was significantly higher than TJC, RF-IgG and anti-CCP antibody were negatively correlated ( r=-0.51, P=0.025; r=-0.42, P=0.035; r=-0.81, P=0.043). The expression level of LC-3 mRNA was positively correlated with ESR and hsCRP ( r=0.55, P=0.028; r=0.56, P=0.024). ④Compared with the protein expression level before the treatment, of ATG12 (0.675 3±0.036 3), which (1.547 7±0.080 5) increased after 24 weeks of treatment ( t=-7.80, P=0.001). Compared with the protein expression levels of ATG16 (0.817 1±0.089 0), LC3Ⅱ (0.807 1±0.072 1) and IL-1β (1.129 7±0.118 9) before treatment, 24 weeks after, the protein expression levels of ATG16 (0.424 6±0.103 5), LC3Ⅱ (0.353 7±0.056 9) and IL-1β (0.346 7±0.050 8) decreased ( t=2.62, P=0.042; t=2.88, P=0.045; t=2.25, P=0.038) 24 weeks after treatment. Conclusion:Autophagy related genes is associated with several clinical presentations and disease activity. The results of this study suggest that autophageius are involved in the pathogenesis of RA. Abatacept may be a potential autophage modulator by regulating autophagy related genes including ATG12、ATG16 and LC3.

Objective:To test a new method with thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs) to determine the β-ray and γ-ray doses of β-γ mixed radiation fields.Methods:TLDs for personal dose monitoring were irradiated in the reference radiation fields of β-rays ( 90Sr/ 90Y, 85Kr) and γ-rays ( 137Cs). Across the range of 2.0-15.0 mSv, the linearity of TLD response and normalized response with respect to 137Cs were determined at the depths of Hp(10) and Hp(0.07). Using TLD detector readings at the depths of Hp(10) and Hp(0.07), β- and γ-ray doses in the mixed radiation fields were determined, and the result were verified. Results:For Hp(10) and Hp(0.07) under γ-ray exposure and Hp(0.07) under β-ray exposure, the coefficient of determination ( R2) were all >0.998. For the 90Sr/ 90Y source and 85Kr source, the average values of response values normalized with respect to 137Cs at different doses were 1.14 and 0.18, respectively; and the normalized response values derived from the slope values of the dose-response curves for the two sources were 1.17 and 0.18, respectively. The ratios of measurements of Hp(10) to Hp(0.07), kR, for the 85Kr source were close to 0, while the kR values for the 137Cs source were close to 1. Using the average value of kR and the slope value of kR for calculation, the maximum relative deviations between the calculated values and conventional values for Hp(10) γ, Hp(0.07) γ, and Hp(0.07) β were 6.1% and 6.0%, respectively. Conclusions:This method can be applied for the assessment of β-ray and γ-ray doses in β-γ mixed radiation fields of a single β source and single γ source.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of transurethral resection of bladder tumor(TURBT)in treating cystitis glandularis(CG),and to explore the influencing factors.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 243 CG patients treated with TURBT during Jan.2013 and Dec.2020 in our hospitals.Postoperative efficacy was assessed using global response assessment(GRA).The correlation between GRA score and the demographic characteristics,comorbidities,initial complaints,and postoperative recurrence was determined with logistic regression analysis.Results Among the 243 patients,3.70％(9/243)had dysplasia,2.47％(6/243)had exuberant hyperplasia of Brinell's nest,and 2.06％(5/243)had intestinal metaplasia.The mean GRA score was(2.02±0.72)after a follow-up of(47.10±28.53)months.Re-operation was performed in 10.29％(25/243)of the patients due to recurrence,and the improvement of hydronephrosis and dysuria was 70.59％(12/17)and 50.00％(15/30),respectively.Pelvic fat increase developed in 1 patient(0.41％)after surgery.Logistic regression analysis showed that postoperative GRA score was not significantly correlated with demographic characteristics,body mass index,comorbidities,alcoholism and postoperative recurrence(P＞0.05).Conclusion TURBT is an effective method in the treatment of CG,which can significantly improve patients'hydronephrosis and dysuria.However,approximately 10％of the patients experience recurrence,necessitating further surgery,which suggests the need for vigilance regarding potential recurrence during treatment.
