Objective To examine the level of sperm flagellar tubulin glycosylation(Gly-Tubulin)in asthenospermia patients(AP)and discuss its significance.Methods According to the principle of inclusion and exclusion criteria,108 patients treated in the Department of Andrology in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region Maternal and Child Health Hospital from June 2021 to May 2022 were rolled in this study.According to the results of semen examine,they were divided into group AP(n=74),and normal control(NC)group(n=34).Colleced the clinical date of both group,such as the age,the sterility period.The levels of sex hormones were detected by chemiluminescence method.The glycosylated Tubulin levels of the sperm were detected by Western blot and immunofluorescence was used for localization analysis,and the relationship between the Gly-Tubulin of sperm flagellar and asthenospermia was analyzed by Multivariate Logistic regression analysis.Results Compared to NC group,the sterility period of group AP was prolong(3.98±0.30 vs 0.78±0.08),the percent of forward sperm motility was decreased(18.55±0.97 vs 46.24±1.89)and the expression level of Gly-Tubulin in the sperm flagellar was decreased(0.64±0.11 vs 1.00±0.00),the differences with statistical significance(t=62.038,χ2=14.394,3.148,all P＜0.05).There were no significant differences in follicle-stimulating hormone(FSH),luteinizing hormone(LH),prolactin(PRL),estradiol(E2),testosterone,semen volume,sperm concentration and total sperm between the two groups(t/χ2=0.043～1.503,all P>0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the percent of forward sperm motility and the sperm flagellar Gly-Tubulin expression level were independent risk factors for male asthenospermia(Wald χ2=4.406,7.492,P<0.05).Conclusion Abnormal level of Gly Tubulin in sperm flagella may be closely related to the occurrence and development of asthenospermia.

Objective:To measure the length and curvature of the external auditory canal (EAC) centerline using a three-dimensional (3D) measurement method based on high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT).Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on HRCT images of healthy EAC from 49 patients (64 ears) examined at the Sixth Medical Center of the PLA General Hospital from June to October 2024. The cohort included 25 males (28 ears) and 24 females (36 ears), aged 22-78 years (mean age 47.3 years), categorized into age groups: 18-30 years (20 ears), 31-60 years (22 ears), and 61-80 years (22 ears). The EAC comprised 29 left and 35 right ears. 3D reconstruction of the EAC was performed using medical software (3D Slicer), and the central curve of the EAC was extracted using an improved measurement method to determine its length and curvature. Statistical analysis was performed using Origin Pro 2023 software to compare differences across genders, sides, and age groups.Results:The measurements of EAC length and curvature revealed that the EAC was significantly longer in males than in females (27.46 mm vs. 25.44 mm, P=0.014) and longer on the right side than on the left (27.99 mm vs. 25.87 mm, P=0.031). No statistically significant difference in EAC length was observed among the different age groups ( P>0.05). Furthermore, no statistically significant differences in EAC curvature were found regarding gender, side, or age group (all P>0.05). Conclusion:The HRCT-based 3D reconstruction technique enables the establishment of a rapid and effective automated workflow for extracting the central curve of the EAC and systematically measuring its length and curvature. The data obtained provide a reference and methodological support for further research on anatomical variations of the human EAC and its potential clinical applications, such as the design of otological instruments or surgical planning.

Objective To explore the correlation between serum hypoxia-inducible factor-1α(HIF-1α)levels and cerebral microbleeds(CMBs)and cognitive impairment and to assess the predictive value of HIF-1α for CSVD-related cognitive impairment.Methods A total of 104 patients with CSVD who attended the Department of Neurology,First Affiliated Hospital of Xinxiang Medical University from June 2022 to November 2023 were enrolled.All enrolled patients were subjected to basic statistics,cranial nuclear magnetic resonance examination,cognitive function assessment,and serum HIF-1α test,and the number and location of CMBs were counted.Based on the above data the enrolled patients were grouped.The correlation between HIF-1α and cognitive function and CMBs was studied the influencing factors of CMBs and cognitive impairment were analyzed,and the predictive value of HIF-1α on the occurrence of cognitive impairment was evaluated.Results There were statistically significant differences in HIF-1α levels and cognitive function among different CMBs groups.Serum HIF-1α levels were significantly negatively correlated with overall cognitive function,visuospatial and executive function,attention,and delayed recall,and serum HIF-1α was positively correlated with the number of CMBs.HIF-1α may be a risk factor for CMBs and cognitive impairment associated with CSVD,and serum HIF-1α has potential in predict the cognitive impairment caused by CSVD.Conclusion Serum levels of HIF-1α were associated with the number of CMB and CSVD-related cognitive impairment,and serum levels of HIF-1α may have a predictive value for CSVD-related cognitive impairment.

Objective To observe the mid-and long-term effects of Kegel training combined with Pilates training on urinary conti-nence recovery in different body mass index(BMI)male patients with urinary incontinence after prostatectomy.Methods From May,2023 to June,2024,48 patients in Beijing Bo'ai Hospital were recruited and divided into group A(<25 kg/m2,n=15),group B(25 to 30 kg/m2,n=18)and group C(>30 kg/m2,n=15)according to their BMI.All the groups performed Kegel training combined with Pilates training for two months,and followed up at six months from baseline.They were evaluated with one hour pad test,the number of daily urinary incontinence,In-ternational Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Short Form(ICIQ-SF)and modified Oxford Rating Scale before treatment,and four weeks,eight weeks and six months after treatment.Results The intra-group effect,the inter-group effect and interaction effect were significant in the results of one hour pad test and the daily number of urinary incontinence(F>2.955,P<0.05).Post Hoc test showed that they were worse in group C than in groups A and B(P<0.05),and the number of daily urinary incontinence was more in group B than in group A(P<0.05).There was significant difference in the scores of ICIQ-SF and modified Ox-ford Rating Scale among groups in different time points after treatment(Z>10.476,P<0.05)except the score of ICIQ-SF four weeks after treatment(P>0.05),and they were the worst in group C.BMI(group A=1,group B=2,group C=3)was correlated with the results of one hour pad test(r=0.79,P<0.001),the number of daily uri-nary incontinence(r=0.68,P<0.001),and the scores of ICIQ-SF(r=0.68,P<0.001)and modified Oxford Rating Scale(r=-0.47,P=0.001)six months after treatment.Conclusion Kegel training combined with Pilates training could improve the urinary control in patients with urinary in-continence after prostatectomy.The decrease of BMI can promote the recovery of urinary control,and improve the symptoms of later urinary incontinence in mid-and long-term.

Objective To compare plantar dynamic and static pressure parameters between patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)and those with combined diabetic peripheral neuropathy(DPN),and to analyze associated factors.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 47 cases in the pure T2DM group and 57 cases in the T2DM combined with DPN group.The plantar dynamic and static pressure parameters,along with relevant clinical data,were recorded for each group.Results Age,BMI,cholesterol,and triglycerides were signifi-cantly higher in the combined DPN group compared to the T2DM group(P<0.05).The average pressure on both feet and the axial angle of the left foot were also significantly greater in the combined DPN group than in the simple T2DM group(P<0.05).A larger axial angle suggests an impact on gait or foot function.Additionally,the forefoot loading ratio,hindfoot loading ratio,and medial-lateral loading ratio of the left foot were all significantly higher in the combined DPN group compared to the simple T2DM group(P<0.05).For static pressure parameters,no statisti-cally significant differences were observed between the two groups in terms of foot area,load,maximum pressure,or average pressure(P>0.05).Spearman's univariate analysis revealed that plantar dynamic and static maximum pressure,mean pressure,and total plantar pressure area were significantly and positively correlated with BMI and triglycerides.Multiple linear regression analysis indicated that the axial angle of the left foot during dynamic pressure was associated with triglyceride levels(P<0.05),the load ratio of the left anterior and posterior foot was related to the duration of diabetes mellitus(P<0.05),and the bipedal area,maximal pressure,and mean pressure during static pressure were all associated with BMI.Conclusions Dynamic plantar pressure mean compression,left foot axis angle,and loading ratio had a greater influence on foot function in the combined DPN group compared to the T2DM group alone.Regardless of the presence of DPN,attention should be paid to measuring plantar pressure in pa-tients.early intervention using indicators associated with plantar dynamic and static pressures,such as BMI and tri-glycerides,can provide a clinical reference for preventing diabetic foot complications.
