Objective: To translate the common metrics for donation attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control, and intention for the blood donation context (BD-ASPI) into Chinese, and to test its reliability and validity among college students. Methods: A research team was established. Following Beaton's cross-cultural adaptation guidelines, the BD-ASPI was translated, culturally adapted, and pre-tested to develop the Chinese version. Using convenience sampling, 620 students from four universities in Wuhan were surveyed form August to November 2024 to test the scale's reliability and validity. Results: The Chinese version of the scale consisted of 21 items across four dimensions: attitude towards blood donation, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control, and intention. The item-level content validity index ranged from 0.89 to 1.00, and the average scale-level content validity index was 0.984. Confirmatory factor analysis indicated a good fit for the second-order factor model. The Criterion validity was 0.509 (P<0.001). The overall Cronbach's α coefficient was 0.965, with the coefficients for each dimension ranging from 0.891 to 0.974. The test-retest reliability was 0.894. Conclusion: The Chinese version of the BD-ASPI demonstrates good reliability and validity, and can serve as an effective tool for assessing the behavioral intention of voluntary blood donation among college students in China.

Objective To investigate the etiology and treatment of dysuria shortly after holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), so as to improve the therapeutic efficacy. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 1361 BPH patients who received HoLEP at our hospital during Mar. 2018 and Mar. 2025. All patients underwent ultrasound, computed tomography (CT), urethral probing or radiography, cystourethroscopy, and urodynamic testing. The causes, treatments and prognosis of dysuria after operation were summarized. Results ninety-eight patients (7.2%) experienced dysuria within 3 months after surgery, and all patients received initial urethral dilation. Among the 62 cases with urethral stricture, 28 were treated with urethral dilation (average of 8 sessions), 16 underwent external urethral incision, 8 underwent anterior urethroplasty, and 10 underwent transurethral plasma incision for urethral stricture. Of the 12 cases with residual prostate tissue, 5 underwent urethral plasma prostatectomy and 7 received medication. All of the 12 cases with bladder neck contracture underwent transurethral plasma incision of the bladder neck and local drug injection. Five cases with intravesical blood clots underwent urethral blood clot irrigation, 2 of which developed active bleeding and then underwent electrocoagulation. Four cases with detrusor dysfunction had catheters re-indwelled for one week followed by medication. Two cases with stone and one case with tissue fragment impacted in the urethra underwent urethral holmium lithotripsy and cystoscopic removal. All patients underwent reoperation successfully and experienced complete resolution or significant improvement of urinary difficulties. Conclusion A certain proportion of patients experience dysuria after HoLEP, with diverse etiologies. The combination of prevention and treatment can reduce the incidence of dysuria.

Objective To investigate the safety, economic benefits and psychological effects of day breast conserving surgery for breast cancer. Methods The demographic data and clinical data of breast cancer patients undergoing day (day surgery group) and ward (ward surgery group) breast conserving surgeries in West China Hospital of Sichuan University from March 2020 to June 2021 were retrospectively collected; the demographic data, clinical data, medical and related transportation costs, and preoperative and postoperative BREAST-Q scores of breast cancer patients undergoing day (day surgery group) and ward (ward surgery group) breast conserving surgery in West China Hospital of Sichuan University from June 2021 to June 2022 were prospectively collected. The safety, economic benefit, and psychological satisfaction of day surgery was analyzed. Results A total of 42 women with breast cancer were included in the retrospective study and 39 women with breast cancer were included in the prospective study. In both prospective and retrospective studies, the mean age of patients in both groups were <50 years. There were only statistical differences between the two groups in the aspects of hypertension (P=0.022), neoadjuvant chemotherapy (P=0.037) and postoperative pathological estrogen receptor (P=0.033) in the prospective study. In postoperative complications, there were no statistical differences in the surgical-related complications or anesthesia-related complications between the two groups in either the prospective study or the retrospective study (P>0.05). In terms of the overall cost, we found that the day surgery group was more economical than the ward surgery group in the prospective study (P=0.002). There were no statistical differences in postoperative psychosocical well-being, sexual well-being, satisfaction with breasts or chest condition between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion It is safe and reliable to carry out breast conserving surgery in day surgery center under strict management standards, which can save medical costs and will not cause great psychological burden to patients.

Objective:To identify the serotype and genotype characteristics of the first cluster infection of Brucella in Nujiang Lisu Autonomous Prefecture of Yunnan Province. Methods:The information of seven suspected cluster brucellosis cases reported in Lanping County, Nujiang Lisu Autonomous Prefecture in April 2023 were collected, blood samples were collected, and the strains were isolated and cultured. Serological methods were employed for brucellosis diagnosis, bacterial species identification was performed using BCSP31-PCR and AMOS-PCR. Multilocus locus variable-number tandem repeat analysis (MLVA) was conducted for strain genotyping, followed by phylogenetic analysis comparing the strains with those from other regions of China.Results:All seven cases were diagnosed with brucellosis, they were all villagers from the same village and had daily contact with sheeps. Four suspected Brucella strains were isolated, identified as Brucella melitensis biotype by BCSP31-PCR and AMOS-PCR. The four isolated strains exhibited identical MLVA-16 genotype, with MLVA-8 genotype 42 and MLVA-11 genotype 180, belonging to the Eastern Mediterranean lineage. Compared with the MLVA-16 of the isolated strains from other regions of China, the four isolated strains formed an independent cluster. Conclusion:The first cluster infection of Brucella in Nujiang Lisu Autonomous Prefecture of Yunnan Province is caused by Brucella melitensis biotype, and the four isolated strains have showed unique MLVA genotype.

Objective:To learn about the geographical distribution and bio-tying diversity characteristics of Brucella strains isolated in Yunnan Province. Methods:From March 2017 to December 2023, 516 suspected Brucella strains were collected from brucellosis surveillance sites and hospitals in Yunnan Province, and Yunnan Institute of Endemic Disease Control and Prevention. The Brucella isolates were confirmed to genus level by BCSP31-PCR, and subsequently identified to species and biovar level using conventional biotyping methods and AMOS-PCR. The geographical distribution of the strains was visualized using ArcGIS 10.8 software, simultaneously analyze the general characteristics of brucellosis patients. Results:Among the 516 suspected Brucella strains, 514 strains were isolated from patient blood samples and 2 strains were isolated from sheep blood samples. BCSP31-PCR identification showed that all strains were Brucella spp. The results of conventional biotyping and AMOS-PCR identification revealed that the isolates comprised 514 Brucella melitensis strains (16 strains of Brucella melitensis biovar 1 and 498 strains of Brucella melitensis biovar 3), one Brucella abortus (biovar 1) strain, and one Brucella canis strain. The strain was distributed in 69 counties/cities of 13 prefectures/cities in Yunnan Province, involving 390 administrative villages in 186 townships. Brucella melitensis was the dominant epidemic strain, and the largest number of Brucella melitensis was distributed in Kunming City( n = 205), followed by Honghe Hani and Yi Autonomous Prefecture ( n = 98) and Qujing City ( n = 72). Brucella abortus was only distributed in Lincang City ( n = 1), and Brucella canis was distributed Wenshan Zhuang and Miao Autonomous Prefecture ( n = 1). The age range of 514 brucellosis patients ranged from 10 months to 88 years, with the majority being between 40 and 60 years old (52.72%, 271/514). The predominant occupational group was farmers (89.11%, 458/514), followed by students (5.06%, 26/514). Conclusion:Brucella exhibits a wide distribution and species/biovar diversity in Yunnan Province, with infection among the farming population emerging as a serious public health problem in the area.

Aim To investigate the effect of angioten-sin Ⅱ type 1a receptor(AT1aR)knockout on cardiac dysfunction in rats with obesity and its possible molecu-lar mechanism.Methods SD rats(n=24)were used to generated the whole-body AT1 aR-deficiency rats by sgRNA and the CRISPR/Cas9 system,and the obesity model was constructed by feeding with high-fat diet(HFD).They were divided into four groups:wildtype(WT)and knockout(KO)groups with nor-mal feeding and their respective high-fat diets groups.Color ultrasound diagnostic instrument was uses to e-valuate the cardiac function;oil red O staining was a-dopted to stain the myocardial lipids;RT-PCR was used to detect the levels of GPX4 and Ptgs2 genes in myocardial tissue.Western blot was employed to detect the expression of GPX4,ferritin,Nrf2,HO-1 and NQO1 in rat myocardial tissue.ELISA and other kits were used to determine the lipid contents in serum and myocardium.Results It was found that high-fat feed-ing caused cardiac dysfunction,serum lipid disorders,oxidative stress and ferroptosis in SD rats.However,these changes were attenuated in AT1aR knockout rats fed with high-fat diet.Furthermore,compared with WT-HFD group,KO-HFD rats showed enhanced acti-vation of the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway in the myocardium,reduced ferroptosis,decreased lipid accumulation,and reduced cardiac dysfunction.Conclusion AT1aR knockout can improve HFD-induced cardiac dysfunc-tion by enhancing antioxidant capacity and reducing the degree of ferroptosis.
