Objective:To analyze the influence factors of urinary tract infection after transurethral bipolar plasma enucleation of the prostate (TUPEP) in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH), and the early predictive value of serum inflammatory indicators for postoperative urinary tract infection.Methods:A total of 300 patients with BPH who received TUPEP treatment in the Department of Urology, Kailuan General Hospital from January 2021 to August 2023 were selected, according to whether they had urinary tract infections after the operation, they were divided into infection group ( n=117) and non-infection group ( n=183). The clinical data of the two groups were collected, and the serum inflammatory indexes of the two groups were recorded within 24 hours after the operation, including white blood cell count (WBC), neutrophil granulocyte (NE%), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), serum amyloid A (SAA), procalcitonin (PCT), heparin-binding protein (HBP), interleukin-2 (IL-2), interleukin-4 (IL-4), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-8 (IL-8), interleukin-10 (IL-10), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interferon-γ (IFN-γ), and serum ferritin (SF). The differences of clinical data and serum inflammatory indexes between the two groups were analyzed. The measurement data of normal distribution were expressed as mean ± standard deviation ( ± s), and independent sample t-test was used for inter-group comparisons. The measurement data of non- normal distribution were represented by median (interquartile range) [ M ( Q1, Q3)], and the Mann-Whitney U test was used for inter-group comparison. The count data were expressed as cases and percentage, and inter-group comparisons were conducted using the Chi-test. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to explored the influencing factors of urinary tract infections in BPH patients after TUPEP surgery. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was plotted using GraphPad Prism 8.0.1 medical plotting softwar to evaluate the predictive value of serum inflammatory markers and combined detection of multiple markers for early postoperative urinary tract infections. Results:The duration of disease, history of diabetes, international prostate symptom score (IPSS), prostate volume, preoperative serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level, preoperative urine residual volume, operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative catheter indwelling time, and hospitalization time in the infection group were higher than those in the non-infection group ( P<0.05). The preoperative 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) level and maximum urinary flow rate were lower in the infection group than those in the non- infection group ( P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the course of the disease, history of diabetes, IPSS score, prostate volume, preoperative PSA level, preoperative urine residual volume, operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative catheter indwelling time was positively correlated with urinary tract infection after TUPEP ( B=0.660, 0.242, 0.164, 0.125, 0.230, 0.066, 0.382, 0.022, 0.436, P<0.01), and preoperative 25OHD level and preoperative maximum urinary flow rate were negatively correlated with urinary tract infection after TUPEP ( B=-0.216, -0.372, P<0.01). The levels of hs-CRP, SAA, PCT, HBP, IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, TNF-α, IFN-γ, SF in the infection group were higher than those in the non-infection group ( P<0.001). The ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve (AUC) of hs-CRP, SAA, PCT, HBP, IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, TNF-α, IFN-γ, SF in early predicting urinary tract infection after TUPEP in BPH patients were 0.697, 0.775, 0.902, 0.873, 0.884, 0.904, 0.917, 0.823, 0.906, 0.852, 0.807, 0.787. The AUC of the combined detection of multiple serum inflammatory markers was 0.972, the sensitivity and specificity were 93.18% and 96.63%, and the sensitivity and specificity of the combined detection of multiple serum inflammatory markers were higher than those of separate detection. Conclusion:The course of BPH, whether to combine history of diabetes, preoperative IPSS score, prostate volume, preoperative PSA level, preoperative 25OHD level, preoperative maximum urinary flow rate, operation time, intraoperative blood loss, and postoperative catheter indwelling time are influencing factors of urinary tract infection after TUPEP, hs-CRP, SAA, PCT, HBP, IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, TNF-α, IFN-γ, SF had certain value in the early prediction of urinary tract infection after TUPEP in patients with BPH, the combination of multiple indicators can improve the predictive value of early urinary tract infection.

Objective To investigate the impact of scenario class teaching on language expression,communication skills,and final exam performance of non-clinical majors students in the course of Medical Parasitology.Method Undergraduate students of non-clinical medical programs from Kunming Medical University in 2022 were selected as the subjects and randomly divided into a scenario class group and a non-scenario class group.Questionnaires were administered to compare the two groups regarding their interest in the laboratory classes,enjoyment levels,and knowledge retention.Additionally,the final exam scores of the two groups were compared.Results Students in the scenario class group showed significantly higher interest(82.6%)and enjoyment levels(88.3%)for laboratory classes compared to the non-scenario class group(73.0%and 60.1%,respectively,P<0.05).Students in the scenario class group believed that situational teaching enhanced their self-learning ability(82.06%),interest in learning(83.2%),willingness to express themselves(83.2%),confidence in expression(81.8%),and communication skills(87.9%).Additionally,It effectively facilitated their understanding of the occurrence and development of parasitic diseases(85.9%)and familiarity with the diagnosis and treatment process(86.8%),thereby cultivating clinical thinking.In terms of final exam scores,the scenario class group had a higher average score(22.80±0.18)than the non-situational classroom group(21.47±0.17,P<0.05).Conclusion Sc-enario class teaching in Medical Parasitology can effectively improve students'self-learning ability,language expression,and communication skills,cultivate clinical thinking,and enhance academic performance,demonstrating significant teaching advantages.

Objective:To investigate the learning curve for a five-step procedure, namely, a transthoracic single-port assisted laparoscopic transabdominal diaphragmatic approach, for Siewert type II adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction.Methods:In this retrospective cohort study, we analyzed relevant clinical data of 66 patients with Siewert type II adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction who had undergone the five-step procedure performed by the same surgeon in the Gastrointestinal Surgery Department of Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Chinese Medicine from May 2017 to April 2023. The learning curve were plotted using cumulative summation analysis and selected indicators, including intraoperative blood loss, duration of surgery, time to first flatus, time to first tolerance of liquid food, length of hospital stay, and incidence of perioperative complications at different stages were compared. The data were analyzed using SPSS 24.0 statistical software. Numerical data are presented as cases (%) and data were analyzed using the χ 2 test or Fisher's exact test. Normally distributed measurement data are presented as x±s, and independent sample t-testing was performed for inter group comparison. Non-normally distributed measurement data are presented as M( Q1, Q3) and the Mann–Whitney U test was used for inter group comparison. Results:The five-step procedure had been successfully completed without switching to open surgery in all 66 study patients. There were no perioperative deaths, blood loss was 100 (50, 200) mL and duration of surgery 329.4±87.3 minutes. The equation of optimal fit for the duration of surgery was y=0.031x 3-4.4757x 2+164.97x-264.4 ( P<0.001, R2=0.9797). The cumulative summation learning curve reached a vertex when 25 surgical procedures had accumulated. Using 25 cases as the cut-off, we divided the learning curves into learning and proficiency periods and patients into learning (25) and proficiency period groups (41). There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups of patients in sex, age, body mass index, American Society of Anesthesiologists score, history of abdominal surgery, comorbidities, preoperative neoadjuvant therapy, maximum tumor diameter, surgical procedure, or T and N stage of tumor ( P>0.05). The following factors differed significantly (all P<0.05) between the learning and proficiency stages: in the latter there was less intraoperative blood loss (100 [50, 100] ml vs. 200 [100, 200] ml, U=-3.940, P<0.001), shorter duration of surgery ([289.8±50.7] minutes vs. [394.4±96.0] minutes, t=5.034, P<0.001), more mediastinal lymph nodes removed (5 [2, 8] vs. 2 [1, 5], U=-2.518, P=0.012), earlier time to first flatus (2 [2, 3] days vs. 4 [3, 6] days, U=-4.016, P<0.001), earlier time to first tolerance of liquid food (5 [4, 6] days vs. 7 [6, 8] days, U=-2.922, P=0.003), shorter duration of hospital stay (8 [8, 10] vs. 10 [9, 12] days, U=-2.028, P=0.043). The incidence of surgical complications did not differ significantly between the two groups ( P=0.238). Conclusion:Satisfactory results can be achieved with the five-step procedure for patients with Siewert type II adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction once 25 procedures have been performed.

Objective:To analyze the epidemic characteristics of reported tuberculosis incidence in Kashgar from 2015 to 2022, and use the seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average (SARIMA) model to predict the incidence, providing references for the local control of pulmonary tuberculosis.Methods:The reported incidence data of tuberculosis in the Kashgar area of Xinjiang from January 2015 to August 2023 were collected through the"Infectious Disease Monitoring System", a subsystem of the "Chinese Disease Prevention and Control Information System". The epidemic characteristics of reported incidence in this area from 2015 to 2022 were analyzed. Two SARIMA models of monthly reported incidence number and rate were established. The prediction performance of the two models was evaluated using the reported incidence data of tuberculosis from January 2023 to August 2023. The χ2 test was used to analyze population characteristics, and the Cochran-Armitage trend test was used to analyze annual incidence. Results:From 2015 to 2022, 133 972 cases of pulmonary tuberculosis were reported in Kashgar, with a yearly reported incidence rate of 383.64/100 000, showing a rising trend ( TCA=77.03, P<0.001) and then a declining trend ( TCA=176.16, P<0.001). The proportion of pathogenic positive pulmonary tuberculosis had increased yearly ( TCA=132.66, P<0.001). The reported onset time was concentrated from January to June each year, with a peak in April. Yengisar County, Zepu County and Yopurga County had the highest reported incidence rate in Kashgar. The sex ratio of men to women was 1.03∶1, and the reported incidence rate of men was higher than that of women ( χ2=27.04, P<0.001). The reported incidence rate of the group aged 60 years and older was the highest. The patient′s occupation was mainly farmers (84.99%). The average relative errors of the SARIMA ( 1, 1, 2) ( 0, 1, 1) 12 model and SARIMA ( 0, 1, 1)( 0, 1, 1) 12 model in predicting the reported monthly incidence number and rate were 11.67% and -9.81%, respectively. Both models had good prediction accuracy (MAPE=33.55%, MAPE=38.22%). Conclusion:The average reported incidence rate of pulmonary tuberculosis in the Kashgar area shows a rising trend first and then a declining trend. The patients are mainly men and farmers, and attention should be paid to the prevention and control of tuberculosis among the elderly in winter and spring. The SARIMA ( 1, 1, 2) ( 0, 1, 1) 12 model and SARIMA ( 0, 1, 1)( 0, 1, 1) 12 model can fit the trend of reported tuberculosis incidence in the Kashgar area well and have good predictive performance.

Objective To observe the change of human urinary microalbumin(MA)and α1-microglobulin(α1-MG)after different intensities and duration of+Gz exposure,and explore the effect of+Gz exposure on renal function.Methods Urinary samples of 62 young health male subjects were collected after human centrifuge training,the highest+Gz exposure intensity and duration were+6.5 G/10 s for group A(n=15),+6.5 G/45 s for group B(n=11),+8 G/10 s for group C(n=23)and+9 G/10 s for group D(n=13)respectively.Urinary MA and α1-MG were measured before and 2 hours and 24 hours after centrifuge training by rate scatteringimmune turbidimetric.The results were compared between four groups and between the different time after centrifuge training.Results The levels of urinary MA and α1-MG significantly increased 2 hours after training(P<0.05,P<0.01),and urinary MA of groups B,D were significantly higher than those of groups A,C(P<0.05,P<0.01).In subjects of A,B,C and D groups,the ratio of urinary MA beyond the normal value were 13.3%、54.5%、17.4%and 53.8%respectively and the ratio of urinary α1-MG beyond the normal value were 26.7%、36.4%、26.1%and 38.5%respectively.Urinary MA and α1-MG of four groups decreased 24 hours after centrifuge training,there were no significant changes compared with those before training(P>0.05),and all returned to normal levels within 48 hours after training.Conclusion Moderate and high level of+Gz exposure may cause recoverable glomeruli and renal tubule function abnormalities.This effect aggravates with the increase of+Gz exposure intensity,duration and has individual differences.The study shows that human renal function should be tested and careful protected after high intensity+Gz exposure.

Objective To investigate the pharmacological effects of"Yajieshaba"on mice with alcohol-induced liver injury and to investigate the mechanism of the impact of"Yajieshaba"on the regulation of intestinal flora by 16S rDNA technology.Methods Healthy male KM mice were randomly divided into control,model,"Yajieshaba"low,medium,and high dose(0.39,1.17 and 3.51 g·kg-1)groups and Bifendatatum(2.93 mg·kg-1)groups,with eight mice in each group.After one week of pre-administration of"Yajieshaba",a mouse model of acute alcoholic liver injury was established by a single instillation of 56%alcohol,and the levels of AST and ALT in the serum of mice were measured,and the morphological changes of liver histology were observed by HE staining;secondly,faecal DNA was extracted from each group under aseptic operation,and 16S rDNA sequencing and differential analysis by alpha diversity and species composition at the phylum and genus levels were performed.Results The results showed that the biochemical indexes of liver function(ALT and AST)were significantly improved by"Yajieshaba",and the degree of liver damage was significantly reduced by HE staining.At the phylum level,it significantly decreased the abundance of Aspergillus and increased the quantity of Bacteroides;at the genus level,it significantly up-regulated the plenty of Bacteroides and Prevotella and downregulated a lot of Prevotella and Helicobacter.At the genus level,"Yajieshaba"significantly up-regulated the abundance of Bacillus spp.and Prevotella spp.and down-regulated the abundance of Prevotella spp.and Helicobacter spp.Conclusion"Yajieshaba"may play an anti-acute alcoholic liver injury effect by regulating the intestinal flora and metabolites.

Succinic semialdehyde dehydrogenase deficiency (SSADHD) is a rare autosomal recessive neurometabolic disease.Pathogenic mutations in ALDH5A1 genes lead to abnormalities in the structure, activity and function of succinic semialdehyde dehydrogenase, resulting in a series of neurological damage.Due to the rarity of SSADHD and the huge differences in its clinical manifestations, it often leads to misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis, and the treatment is mainly symptomatic.There is no specific drug or treatment.In March 2024, the SSADHD consensus group, composed of SSADHD researchers from 19 institutions in 11 countries and regions, released the " Consensus Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Management of Succinic Semialdehyde Dehydrogenase Deficiency" , which elaborates on the definition, epidemiology, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and treatment of SSADHD, aiming to standardize and unify the diagnosis and management of SSADHD.This article interprets the key contents of the guidelines, in order to provide guidance for the early screening, diagnosis and treatment of SSADHD in China.

Objective:To retrospectively analyze the treatment status of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) in newly diagnosed patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in China.Methods:Data of chronic phase (CP) and accelerated phase (AP) CML patients diagnosed from January 2006 to December 2022 from 77 centers, ≥18 years old, and receiving initial imatinib, nilotinib, dasatinib or flumatinib-therapy within 6 months after diagnosis in China with complete data were retrospectively interrogated. The choice of initial TKI, current TKI medications, treatment switch and reasons, treatment responses and outcomes as well as the variables associated with them were analyzed.Results:6 893 patients in CP ( n=6 453, 93.6%) or AP ( n=440, 6.4%) receiving initial imatinib ( n=4 906, 71.2%), nilotinib ( n=1 157, 16.8%), dasatinib ( n=298, 4.3%) or flumatinib ( n=532, 7.2%) -therapy. With the median follow-up of 43 ( IQR 22-75) months, 1 581 (22.9%) patients switched TKI due to resistance ( n=1 055, 15.3%), intolerance ( n=248, 3.6%), pursuit of better efficacy ( n=168, 2.4%), economic or other reasons ( n=110, 1.6%). The frequency of switching TKI in AP patients was significantly-higher than that in CP patients (44.1% vs 21.5%, P<0.001), and more AP patients switched TKI due to resistance than CP patients (75.3% vs 66.1%, P=0.011). Multi-variable analyses showed that male, lower HGB concentration and ELTS intermediate/high-risk cohort were associated with lower cytogenetic and molecular responses rate and poor outcomes in CP patients; higher WBC count and initial the second-generation TKI treatment, the higher response rates; Ph + ACA at diagnosis, poor PFS. However, Sokal intermediate/high-risk cohort was only significantly-associated with lower CCyR and MMR rates and the poor PFS. Lower HGB concentration and larger spleen size were significantly-associated with the lower cytogenetic and molecular response rates in AP patients; initial the second-generation TKI treatment, the higher treatment response rates; lower PLT count, higher blasts and Ph + ACA, poorer TFS; Ph + ACA, poorer OS. Conclusion:At present, the vast majority of newly-diagnosed CML-CP or AP patients could benefit from TKI treatment in the long term with the good treatment responses and survival outcomes.
