Objective: To explore the key factors affecting the selection and effectiveness of bladder management modalities in patients with spinal cord injury,so as to provide reference for the optimization of individualized bladder management strategies. Methods: The clinical and follow-up data of 78 patients with spinal cord injury treated in our hospital during Jan.1,2013 and Dec.31,2022 were retrospectively analyzed.The distribution of bladder management modalities among different grades of injuries was analyzed. Bowker symmetry test was used to evaluate the difference between bladder management modalities at discharge and at the end of follow-up. Multiple linear regression was used to explore the influencing factors of bladder management effects. Plotting Kaplan-Meier survival curves were adopted to calculate the median time of changes in bladder management. Results: At discharge,there were 9 cases of self-catheterization,19 cases of intermittent catheterization,22 cases of reflexive voiding,26 cases of long-term catheterization,and 2 cases using urinary collector.At the end of follow-up,there were 15 cases of self-catheterization,8 cases of intermittent catheterization,34 cases of reflexive voiding,14 cases of long-term catheterization,and 7 cases using urinary collector.There was a significant difference between the modalities of bladder management at discharge and at the end of follow-up (χ
=21.43,P=0.018).Multiple linear regression showed a significant decrease of 8.60 in the total neurogenic bladder symptom score (NBSS) for grade D injuries compared with grade A injuries (P=0.026). The median time to bladder management change was 7.93 months (95%CI:5.44-9.44), with approximately 50% of patients experiencing a change in bladder management within 8 months after discharge. Conclusion: The modalities of bladder management changed significantly after discharge.The grade of injury was a key factor affecting the effectiveness of bladder management.Higher grade was associated with worse effectiveness of bladder management.

Objective: Previous observational studies have confirmed the correlation between gut microbiota and bladder cancer,but the causal relationship is still unclear.This study aimed to explore the causal relationship between them with Mendelian randomization. Methods: Genetic variation summary data of 211 gut microbiota and bladder cancer genome-wide association studies (GWAS) were obtained from the MiBioGen Consortium and Finngen database.Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) closely related to these studies were screened as instrumental variables.The causal relationship between gut microbiota and bladder cancer were analyzed with inverse variance weighting (IVW),MR-Egger,weighted median,maximum likelihood,robust adjustment feature score and MR-PRESSO,with IVW as the primary analysis method.Additionally,sensitivity analysis was used to test the heterogeneity (Cochran Q) and horizontal pleiotropy (MR-Egger intercept term and global test from MR-PRESSO estimator) to ensure the robustness of the results. Results: The IVW results indicated that Lachnospiraceae UCG004 (OR:1.42),Desulfovibrionales (Order) (OR:1.48),Eubacterium ruminantium group (OR:1.33),Olsenella (OR:1.24),Ruminococcaceae UCG002 (OR:1.39),Ruminococcaceae UCG005 (OR:1.42) and Ruminococcaceae UCG013 (OR:1.64) significantly increased the risk of bladder cancer.Conversely,Bacteroidetes (Phylum) (OR:0.61),Eubacterium brachy group (OR:0.80),Ruminococcaceae UCG004 (OR:0.73),Rikenellaceae (Family) (OR:0.67),Lachnospiraceae ND3007 group (OR:0.47), Adlercreutzia (OR:0.73) and an unknow genus (OR:0.75) were associated with a reduced risk of bladder cancer.Sensitivity analyses did not reveal any heterogeneity or horizontal pleiotropy. Conclusion: This study reveals the causal role of 14 gut microbiota in the pathogenesis of bladder cancer,among which Lachnospiraceae UCG004,Desulfovibrionales (Order),Eubacterium ruminantium group,Olsenella,Ruminococcaceae UCG002,Ruminococcaceae UCG005 and Ruminococcaceae UCG013 are risk factors for bladder cancer,while Bacteroidetes (Phylum),Eubacterium brachy group,Ruminococcaceae UCG004,Rikenellaceae (Family),Lachnospiraceae ND3007 group,Adlercreutzia and an unknown genus are the protective factors.

Objective:To investigate the intention to stay on among primary health care workers (PHWs) during the COVID-19 epidemics and its influencing factors.Methods:An online questionnaire survey was conducted among PHWs from 62 primary health institutions in 31 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities across China selected by multi-stage whole cluster random sampling method between May and October 2022. According to the job position, the PHWs were divided into 5 categories: general practitioners (GPs), nurses, public health doctors, managers and support staff. Intention to stay was measured using the Chinese version of the Intention to Stay Questionnaire. Multiple linear regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors of the intention to stay in PHWs of different occupational categories, including personal factors, work factors, factors related to the COVID-19 and psychological reactions.Results:A total of 3 769 PHWs from 44 community health service centers, 18 township hospitals of 27 provinces/autonomous regions and 4 municipalities participated in this survey. The mean age of participants was (37.4±9.2) years, including 2 971(78.8%) women. The mean score of intention to stay of participants was 21.7±4.1. Compared with GPs, managers had lower intention to stay ( P=0.004). Age, female, in marriage, monthly income, years of primary care service, self-evaluation of unit support function, MSQ-SF score, and PA score were positively correlated with the score of intention to stay (all P<0.05), while PHQ-9 score, EE score, and DP score were negatively correlated with the score of intention to stay (all P<0.05). The MSQ-SF scores of all occupational categories were positively correlated with the scores of intention to stay (all P<0.01). In addition, among GPs, monthly income, years of service in primary care, self-evaluation of unit support function, and PA scores were positively correlated with the score of intention to stay (all P<0.05), while PHQ-9 scores and EE scores were negatively correlated with the score of intention to stay (all P<0.05). Among nurses, age, female gender, monthly income, self-evaluation of unit support function, and PA score were positively correlated with the score of intention to stay (all P<0.05), while EE scores and retention will score were negatively associated with ( P<0.001). Among public health doctors, in marriage was positively correlated with the score of intention to stay ( P=0.018). Among managers, DP score was negatively correlated with the score of intention to stay ( P=0.001). Among support staff, female gender, monthly income, years of primary care service, self-evaluation of unit support function, and PA scores were positively correlated with the score of intention to stay (all P<0.05), while EE score and DP score were negatively correlated with intention to stay (all P<0.05). Conclusions:The intention to stay of PHWs in China during the COVID-19 was at an intermediate level, which was affected by many factors. Among them, job satisfaction was positively correlated with the intention to stay of all occupational categories, and the influencing factors of different occupational categories have some variations.
