Objective To evaluate the perioperative safety and mid-term outcomes of laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy(LSC)and laparoscopic pectopexy(LP)for pelvic organ prolapse(POP).Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 274 POP patients,including 178 who underwent LSC and 96 who underwent LP,between August 2017 and January 2023.The extent of prolapse and anatomical restoration were assessed preoperatively and postoperatively using the Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification(POP-Q)system.Quality of life outcomes were evaluated with validated questionnaires,including Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory-short form 20(PFDI-20),Pelvic Floor Impact Questionnaire-short form 7(PFIQ-7),and Pelvic Organ Prolapse/Urinary Incontinence Sexual Questionnaire-12(PISQ-12).Postoperative patient satisfaction was assessed during follow-ups.Postoperative anatomical restoration,perioperative status,and postoperative complications,recurrence,and quality of life were compared between the two groups.Multivariate logistic regression was performed to identify postoperative risk factors for recurrence.Results The operative time in the LSC group was significantly shorter than that in the LP group(P<0.05).Intraoperative blood loss was higher in the LSC group compared to that in the LP group(P<0.05).The LSC group also exhibited higher rates of de novo stress urinary incontinence and constipation(P<0.05).The mean follow-up duration was(35.91±16.90)months.The positions of the indicator points(Aa,Ba,C,Ap,and Bp)in the POP-Q classification after the operation were all better than those before the operation.The PFDI-20 score,PFIQ-7 score,and PISQ-12 score all improved compared to those before the operation(P<0.05).Comparison of preoperative and postoperative PFDI-20,PFIQ-7,and PISQ-12 scores showed no intergroup differences.Compared with the LP group,the LSC group had the lower preoperative POP-Q measurements at points Aa and Ba(P<0.05),but superior postoperative measurements for all the indicator points(Aa,Ba,C,Ap,and Bp)(P<0.05).Recurrence occurred in 28 cases in the LP group and 4 cases in the LSC group,with the LP group presenting a significantly higher anatomical recurrence rate than the LSC group did(31.46%[28/89]vs.2.41%[4/166],P<0.05).The subjective cure rate(100%)and objective cure rate(97.59%)in the LSC group were superior to those in the LP group(88.76%and 68.54%,respectively;P<0.05).The results of the multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that,after adjusting for the confounding factors,including age,gravidity,parity,body mass index,and duration of POP,the risk of recurrence after LSC surgery was 0.044 times that after LP(odds ratio[OR],0.044;95%CI,0.015-0.133;P<0.001).Conclusion Mid-term outcomes of LP with partial cervical preservation appear inferior to those of LSC,with LSC demonstrating superior anatomical restoration and lower rates of anatomical recurrence.However,improvements in sexual function and quality of life are comparable between the two procedures.Further evaluation with larger sample sizes and longer follow-up is warranted to better characterize long-term outcomes.

Objective To explore the gender differences in the relationship between depressive symptoms and cognitive functions in patients with depression.Methods From January 2021 to June 2024,375 patients meeting the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders,Fifth Edition(DSM-5)criteria for depression were selected by convenience sampling from the Affiliated Psychological Hospital of Anhui Medical University.Depressive symptom severity was assessed using the 24-item Hamilton depression scale(HAMD-24),while cognitive function was evaluated using a series of neuropsychological assessment tools,including the trail making test,logical memory,figure memory,digit symbol substitution test,digit span backward,and Wisconsin card sorting test.Network analysis was performed using R software to examine the relationships between symptoms and cognitive function.Results The core symptom factors and core cognitive domains for male depressive patients are sleep disturbances(strength=1.253)and information processing speed(strength=1.605),respectively;In contrast,female patients exhiboted emotional stagnation(strength=1.322)and working memory(strength=1.289).Sleep disturbances and emotional stagnation were the bridging nodes(bridge strength=1.253 and 1.322)for male and female patients,respectively.The correlation stability(CS)coefficients for the node strength centrality in male and female patient groups were 0.514 and 0.515,respectively,both exceeding threshold of 0.25,indicating good network stability.There were no significant differences between genders in terms of global network strength(male vs.female:2.22 vs.4.87;P=0.356)and edge weight distribution(P=0.293).Conclusion The network relationships between depressive symptoms and cognitive function in depression patients show significant gender differences.Sleep disturbance and information processing speed play central roles in males,whereas emotional retardation and working memory impairment are core features in females.These findings provide a theoretical basis for developing gender-specific intervention strategies.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the effectiveness of Gandou decoction （GDD） by analyzing theclinical efficacy of GDD combined with speech training on the treatment of dysarthria with endoretention of damp-heat in Wilson's disease （WD）， so as to provide more clinical data and theoretical support for the selection of appropriate treatment schemes for WD patients with dysarthria with endoretention of damp-heat. MethodA total of 60 eligible WD patients with dysarthria with endoretention of damp-heat were selected and divided into a control group and a treatment group according to the random grouping method， with 30 cases in each group. The control group was treated with speech training + sodium dimercaptopropanesulfonate （DMPS）， and the treatment group was combined with GDD on the basis of the control group， with eight days as a course of treatment for 32 days. The total clinical effectiveness rate （Goldstein clinical classification）， dysarthria grading assessment from China Rehabilitation Research Center， TCM syndrome scores， 24-hour urine copper content， and modified Frenchay dysarthria rating scale scores of the two groups were compared before and after treatment. ResultAfter treatment， the total effective rate of the observation group was 90.0% （27/30）， and that of the control group was 70.0% （21/30）. The total effective rate of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group （Z=-1.986，P<0.05）. After treatment， the modified Frenchay dysarthria score， dysarthria grading assessment from China Rehabilitation Research Center， and 24-h urine copper in the two groups were significantly increased （P<0.05， P<0.01）， and the TCM syndrome score was significantly decreased （P<0.01）. Compared with the control group after treatment， except for the respiratory and jaw score， the modified Frenchay dysarthria score of the observation group was significantly increased （P<0.05， P<0.01）. The dysarthria grading from China Rehabilitation Research Center and 24-h urine copper content were significantly increased （P<0.01）， and the observation group had better efficacy. During the study period， there were no serious adverse reactions such as fever， rash， oral and eyelid mucosal swelling， exfoliative dermatitis， vomiting， diarrhea， or allergic shock during copper excretion treatment of DPMS and oral administration of GDD. ConclusionGDD combined with speech training can improve the symptoms and efficacy of WD patients with dysarthria with endoretention of damp-heat and enhance the patients' living standard to a certain extent， which can be widely used in clinics.
