Objective To translate the Urinary Incontinence Awareness and Attitude Scale(URINAS)and test its reliability and validity.Methods The Chinese version of the URINAS was developed by Brislin's translation model for translation,back translation,cultural adaptation,and pilot investigation.A convenience sampling method was used to select 384 urinary incontinence patients who visited a tertiary hospital in Nanchang,Jiangxi Province from June 2024 to October 2024 for investigation,in order to evaluate the reliability and validity of the scale.Results The Chinese version of the URINAS consisted of 5 dimensions with 26 entries.The Cronbach's alpha coefficient of this scale was 0.843;the folded half reliability was 0.917;the retest reliability was 0.852.The content validity of the scale at the level of the entries ranged from 0.846 to 1.000,and that at the level of the scale was 0.979.A total of 5 metrics were extracted by exploratory factor analysis,and the cumulative variance contribution rate of 74.286％.The results of the validation factor analysis showed a chi-square/degree of freedom of 2.268,a root mean square error of approximation of 0.064,a standardized fit index of 0.916,a Tucker-Lewis index of 0.923,a comparative fit index of 0.906,and a goodness-of-fit index of 0.922.Conclusion The URINAS has good reliability and validity,and can better reflect the level of patients' cognition and attitude towards urinary incontinence,thus providing theoretical basis for the development of corresponding intervention programs for such patients.

Objective To analyze the application effects of artificial intelligence (AI) software and Mimics software in preoperative three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction for thoracoscopic anatomical pulmonary segmentectomy. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients who underwent thoracoscopic pulmonary segmentectomy at the Second People's Hospital of Huai'an from October 2019 to March 2024. Patients who underwent AI 3D reconstruction were included in the AI group, those who underwent Mimics 3D reconstruction were included in the Mimics group, and those who did not undergo 3D reconstruction were included in the control group. Perioperative related indicators of each group were compared. Results A total of 168 patients were included, including 73 males and 95 females, aged 25-81 (61.61±10.55) years. There were 79 patients in the AI group, 53 patients in the Mimics group, and 36 patients in the control group. There were no statistical differences in gender, age, smoking history, nodule size, number of lymph node dissection groups, postoperative pathological results, or postoperative complications among the three groups (P>0.05). There were statistical differences in operation time (P<0.001), extubation time (P<0.001), drainage volume (P<0.001), bleeding volume (P<0.001), and postoperative hospital stay (P=0.001) among the three groups. There were no statistical differences in operation time, extubation time, bleeding volume, or postoperative hospital stay between the AI group and the Mimics group (P>0.05). There was no statistical difference in drainage volume between the AI group and the control group (P=0.494), while there were statistical differences in operation time, drainage tube retention time, bleeding volume, and postoperative hospital stay (P<0.05). Conclusion For patients requiring thoracoscopic anatomical pulmonary segmentectomy, preoperative 3D reconstruction and preoperative planning based on 3D images can shorten the operation time, postoperative extubation time and hospital stay, and reduce intraoperative bleeding and postoperative drainage volume compared with reading CT images only. The use of AI software for 3D reconstruction is not inferior to Mimics manual 3D reconstruction in terms of surgical guidance and postoperative recovery, which can reduce the workload of clinicians and is worth promoting.

In order to delve into the molecular mechanism underlying the increased pathogenicity of the recombinant Muscovy duck parvovirus(rMDPV)towards Muscovy ducklings,two sub-genom-ic fragments of the rMDPV strain ZW were cloned into the plasmid pBluescript Ⅱ(SK)to gener-ate the recombinant plasmid pZW.A single nucleotide mutation was engineered in the VP3 gene of pZW to discriminate from the parental strain ZW.pZW plasmid-lipid complex was transfected into the chorioallantoic membrane of 11-day-old embryonated Muscovy duck embryos,resulting in res-cue of infectious virus,rZW,carrying the genetic marker.The rescued virus was passaged in 12-day-old embryonated Muscovy duck embryos and exhibited the similar medium embryo lethal dose(ELD50)value and growth curve compared to the parental strain ZW.Both rZW and strain ZW led to 100％mortality in the infection tests performed with 3-day-old Muscovy duckling.Postmortem necropsy revealed a characteristic intestine embolism formed in the rZW-infected ducklings.Taken together,the generation of the infectious clone pZW lays a solid foundation for deciphering the pathogenesis of rMDPV.

Objective:To analyze the clinical diagnosis,treatment,and prognosis of the patients with pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy(PDE)characterized by infantile epileptic spasm syndrome(IESS).Methods:A total of 75 PDE patients with ALDH7A1 variants were diagnosed at the Department of Pediat-rics of Peking University First Hospital and Peking University People's Hospital from July 2012 to June 2024,and five PDE patients with the phenotype of IESS were selected.The clinical manifestations,treat-ment,blood biochemistry,metabolic screening,electroencephalogram(EEG),brain magnetic resonance imaging(MRI),and gene testing results of the five PDE patients were analyzed.Results:Among the five patients diagnosed with PDE,three were female and two were male,and the phenotype was consistent with IESS.The age at the last follow-up was from one year and 3 months to 11 years and 9 months.All the five cases were delivered at term.Two cases had anoxia and asphyxia at birth,and three cases had normal birth history.The onset age of seizure ranged from one day to 4 months after birth.One case presented with epileptic spasms(ES),and three cases presented with focal seizure and ES.The other patient was started with ES,followed by multiple seizure types,including focal seizure and generalized tonic-clonic seizure,and developed epileptic status which caused secondary brain injury.The interictal EEG results showed hypsarrhythmia in three cases,generalized and multifocal discharges in one cases,and multifocal discharges in one case.No abnormalities were found in brain MRI in three cases,and secondary cerebral atrophy and hydrocephalus were observed in two cases during the course of the disease.Gene analysis confirmed that the five patients carried compound heterozygous variants of ALDH7A1,and two of them carried exon deletion variants.High dose pyridoxine treatment started at the end of 2 days,4 years,3 years,4 days.and 2 months after the onset of the disease.Up to the last follow-up,seizures of four cases were controlled,followed by normal EEG.One patient with brain atrophy had uncontrolled seizures and EEG remained abnormal.The neurodevelopment of the three patients were se-verely delayed,and two were mildly delayed.Conclusion:IESS could be a rare phenotype of PDE.High doses of pyridoxine can control or reduce the frequency of seizures.Delayed diagnosis and treatment,secondary brain injury,and the genotype,especially deletions variants,were associated with poor prognosis.

Objective:To investigate the clinical and electroencephalographic characteristics of photosensitive occipital lobe epilepsy (POLE) in children.Methods:The clinical data, electroencephalogram (EEG), treatment and prognosis of 22 children with POLE in the Department of Pediatrics, Peking University First Hospital from January 2006 to December 2019 were retrospectively analyzed.Results:Among the 22 patients, 12 cases were female and 10 cases were male.There were 3 cases combined with mild mental retardation.Classified by seizure symptoms, only 3 patients complained of subjective symptoms of visual aura, and the common symptoms were eye movement in 11 patients, headache in 3 patients, vomiting in 6 patients and dizziness in 3 patients.All patients had focal seizures during the course of disease.Twenty patients had secondary bilateral tonic-clonic seizures, and 5 patients also had generalized myoclonic seizures.Interictal epileptiform discharges were monitored in EEG of all children, including pure focal discharges in 6 patients, pure generalized discharges in 10 patients, and coexistence of generalized and focal discharges in 6 patients.Photoparoxysmal responses were induced in 19 patients, including pure focal discharges in 4 patients, pure generalized discharges in 6 patients, and coexisting focal and generalized discharges in 9 patients.Photoconvulsive responses were induced in 16 patients, including focal seizures with occipital lobe onset or focal secondary to bilateral tonic-clonic seizures in 15 patients, and myoclonic seizures in 1 patient.Eighteen patients were treated with anti-seizure medications (ASMs) and followed up.The top 3 commonly used drugs were Valproic acid (12 patients), Levetiracetam (8 patients), and Lamotrigine (4 patients), and 13 cases had controlled seizures.Conclusions:The visual aura of POLE is not obvious, and the relationship between epilepticseizures and light stimuli in daily life should be actively inquired to avoid misdiagnosis or underdiagnosis of the syndrome.The EEG of POLE often visualizes the coexistence of focal and generalized discharges, which may be accompanied by generalized seizures.The coexistence phenomenon should be considered when ASMs are medicated during treatment, and odium channel blockers should be selected carefully.

Objective:To analyze the clinical phenotype and genotype characteristics of infantile spasm (IS) associated with UBA5 gene mutation. Methods:Four cases of IS caused by UBA5 gene variation diagnosed at the Department of Pediatrics, Peking University First Hospital from March 2017 to June 2019 were retrospectively analyzed.The clinical manifestations, electroencephalogram (EEG), brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), treatment, and follow-up results were summarized. Results:In this study, 4 cases (3 males and 1 female) were clinically diagnosed with IS and carried complex heterozygous variation of UBA5 gene.Genetic analysis confirmed that a total of 6 different mutation sites were found, five of which were unreported.All the 4 cases presented with epileptic spasms at the age of 1 d to 8 months after birth, and 2 cases had focal seizures during the course of disease.The EEG of 4 cases showed hypsarrhythmia and cluster or isolated epileptic spasms were detected.Of the 3 patients who had brain MRI results, 2 cases showed nonspecific abnormalities and 1 case was normal.All the 4 patients had developmental delayed before seizure onset, and regressed to varying degrees and made slow progress after onset.One case had microcephaly, and 3 cases had hypertonia.At the last follow-up, the age of the 4 patients ranged from 7 months to 6 years and 4 months.All 4 patients were treated with multiple antiepileptic drugs, but none of them were under control. Conclusions:Children with IS associated with UBA5 gene variation have an early onset age, often accompanied by developmental delayed, microcephaly, dystonia, and refractory seizures.

Objective:To explore the clinical application of robot-assisted laparoscopic single-position nephroureterectomy and bladder sleeve resection for upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC).Methods:The clinicopathological data of 15 UTUC patients admitted to Union Hospital of Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology from October 2018 to May 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 8 males and 7 females, with a median age of 58.6 (ranging 52.6-69.6) years, including 8 cases of renal pelvic cancer, 2 cases of upper ureteral cancer, 5 cases of middle and lower ureteral cancer.The tumor located on the left side in 5 cases and right side in 10 cases. All 15 patients underwent robot-assisted one-step transperitoneal nephroureterectomy and bladder sleeve resection by the same surgeon. The patients were placed in a 70° healthy side lying position with a 10° head lower and foot high position. After routinely dissecting the kidneys and controlling the renal hilum, we continued to dissect the ureter down to the orifice of the bladder. The lymph node dissection was performed when dissecting the kidney and ureter. Then the ureter was resected like a sleeve and the bladder was sutured. Observation indicators, such as operation time, blood loss, postoperative drainage tube and urinary catheter placement days, were recorded.Results:All 15 patients were successfully completed the operation in the same position and the same robot berth without conversion. The median operation time was 103 (ranging 82-185) min, and the intraoperative median blood loss was 60 (ranging 30-120) ml. The postoperative median drainage catheter placement time was 3 (ranging 2-5) d, the postoperative median hospital stay was 5 (ranging 4-7) d, and the postoperative urinary catheters were placed for 14 days. Postoperative pathological examinations of 15 patients showed UTUC without positive margins. The median follow-up time was 15 (ranging 10-30) months. All 15 patients survived. One patient was found a recurrence in the bladder after cystoscopy. There was no tumor progression after bladder tumor resection and bladder perfusion chemotherapy, and no tumor recurrence or metastasis was seen in the remaining 14 cases.Conclusions:Robot-assisted single-position transperitoneal nephroureterectomy for UTUC does not need to change patient position and robot berth, which effectively shortens the operation time, and achieves good tumor control effect. The short-term follow-up results were satisfactory.

Objective:To analyze the clinical phenotype and genetic characteristics of children with germline PIGA gene mutations. Methods:The clinical presentations, blood biochemistry, electroencephalogram (EEG), brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and genetic test results of 10 children diagnosed at the Department of Pediatrics of Peking University First Hospital between January 2014 and June 2020 were analyzed.Results:All these 10 children were male, with seizures and severe developmental delay.Five out of eight cases showed hypotonia.Four out of nine cases had facial deformity or multiple organ abnormalities.The onset age of seizures ranged from one month and 28 days to 10 months, with an average age of 4.8 months.There were various types of seizures, and all patients showed focal seizures.The seizures of 6 patients in these 10 cases could be induced by fever disease.Diffuse slow waves mixed focal or multifocal discharges of interictal EEG in 9 cases with PIGA-deficient.Brain MRI showed enlarged subarachnoid space in 44.4% (4/9 cases) of patients.Slight elevated serum alkaline phosphatase could be seen in 2 cases.Genetic analysis confirmed that a total of 8 different mutation sites were found, 7 of which were unreported.In this group, 4 cases were diagnosed with multiple congenital anomalies -hypotonia -seizures syndrome 2 (MCAHS2), 5 cases were diagnosed with developmental delay and epilepsy without deformity, and one case was not classified, respectively. Conclusions:Focal seizure was common in these patients with PIGA mutations, and often induced by fever disease.Interictal EEG was characterized by diffuse slow waves mixed focal or multifocal discharges.Enlarged subarachnoid space was the most common brain MRI abnormality in these patients.The phenotype of patients only partially conformed to typical MCAHS2 manifestations, and most of them had no deformity.
