The relationship between antagonism and symbiosis exists not only in the biological world,but also among the subspecialties of large tertiary grade A general hospitals.In the context of symbiosis theory,the following recommendations based on the four basic elements of subspecialty symbiosis systems were proposed to provide a theoretical basis for exploring the path of high-quality development of subspecialties:enhance the capacity of the symbiosis unit itself and clarify the role of the unit;establish efficient information system and make full use of management platform;improve interest coordination mechanism and strengthen inter-subspecialty ties;implement relevant support policies and solid sense of symbiotic to synergy provide a theoretical basis for exploring pathways for high quality development of subspecialties.

Pelvic fracture urethral injury (PFUI) may result in loss of external urethral sphincter function, and traditional transurethral resection of the prostate may increase risk of permanent urinary incontinence after surgery in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) with a history of PFUI reconstruction. In the study, hulium laser enucleation-resection of prostate(ThuLERP) with bladder neck preservation was used to treat 4 patients with BPH with a history of PFUI reconstruction. All operations were conducted smoothly, and all patients had unobstructed voiding and no permanent urinary incontinence at 3 months after surgery. ThuLERP with bladder neck preservation was safe and effective treatment of BPH with a history of PFUI reconstruction, and avoided the risk of permanent urinary incontinence.

Objective:To evaluate the immunogenicity to prototype strain of 2019-nCoV and cross immune response to its variants in children aged 3-11 years after completing the primary immunization of a 2019-nCoV inactivated vaccine for 28-42 days.Methods:From January to July 2022, children aged 3-11 years who had been vaccinated with 2019-nCoV inactivated vaccine according to the (0, 28) day immunization schedule were recruited in Rushan, Shandong Province. On 28-42 days after the primary immunization, venous blood samples (3 ml) were collected from them for the detections of the levels of neutralizing antibody to prototype strain, Beta variant, Gamma variant and Delta variant and the neutralizing antibody positive rates and GMTs were calculated.Results:A total of 395 children were included in the immunogenicity analysis, including 212 children aged 3-5 years and 183 children aged 6-11 years. The positive rates of neutralizing antibody to prototype strain, Beta, Gamma, and Delta variants on 28-42 days after the primary immunization were 100.00%, 74.68%, 99.24%, and 97.22%, respectively, there were no significant differences between two age groups ( P>0.05). On 28-42 days after the primary immunization, the GMTs of neutralizing antibody to prototype strain, Beta , Gamma and Delta variants were 168.19, 10.51, 53.65, and 31.10, respectively, the differences between two age groups were not significant ( P>0.05). Conclusion:The immunization with 2 doses of 2019-nCoV inactivated vaccine in 3-11 years old children showed good immunogenicity and produced certain cross protection to 2019-nCoV variants.

Soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) is related to arachidonic acid cascade and is over-expressed in a variety of diseases, making sEH an attractive target for the treatment of pain as well as inflammatory-related diseases. A new series of memantyl urea derivatives as potent sEH inhibitors was obtained using our previous reported compound 4 as lead compound. A preferential modification of piperidinyl to 3-carbamoyl piperidinyl was identified for this series via structure-based rational drug design. Compound A20 exhibited moderate percentage plasma protein binding (88.6%) and better metabolic stability in vitro. After oral administration, the bioavailability of A20 was 28.6%. Acute toxicity test showed that A20 was well tolerated and there was no adverse event encountered at dose of 6.0 g/kg. Inhibitor A20 also displayed robust analgesic effect in vivo and dose-dependently attenuated neuropathic pain in rat model induced by spared nerve injury, which was better than gabapentin and sEH inhibitor (±)-EC-5026. In one word, the oral administration of A20 significantly alleviated pain and improved the health status of the rats, demonstrating that A20 was a promising candidate to be further evaluated for the treatment of neuropathic pain.

Objective:To explore the treatment experience of holmium laser enucleation of prostate (HoLEP) with preservation of longitudinal urethral mucosa at 12 o’clock for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) with small-medium gland.Method:From October 2018 to April 2021, 256 patients diagnosed BPH with small-medium gland(prostate volume 30-60 ml)were retrospectively analyzed, including general information, way of operation, intraoperative parameters and follow-up data. From October 2018 to June 2020, 186 BPH patients underwent conventional HoLEP, which did not retain longitudinal urethral mucosa at 12 o’clock as a conventional operation group. From July 2020 to April 2021, 70 BPH patients underwent modified HoLEP, which retained longitudinal urethral mucosa at 12 o’clock as a modified operation group. There was no significant difference between the two groups( P>0.05) in term of the age[(70.5±4.4)years old vs.(68.5±3.2)years old], Q max[(7.5±2.8)ml/s vs.(7.5±2.1)ml/s], IPSS[(20.3±4.6)vs.(21.4±3.7)], QOL[(4.5±1.0)vs.(4.2±1.4)], postvoid residual volume[(126.9±29.36)ml vs.(132.2±32.3)ml], PSA[(1.5±1.3)ng/ml vs.(1.8±1.1)ng/ml] and prostate volume[(48.1±11.1)ml vs.(48.0±12.7)ml]. Both groups were treated with "trefoil" enucleation of prostate. The modified group was improved compared with the conventional group by retaining a 12 o’clock longitudinal urethra mucosa from the bladder neck to the apex of the prostate. The technical improvements were as follows: ①the left lobe of prostate was removed from at 5 o’clock at the verumontanum to 1 o’clock at the prostate apex along the gap between the hyperplasia gland and the surgical envelope; ②the right lobe was removed from 7 o’clock at the verumontanum to 11 o’clock at the apex; ③the urethra mucous membrane was cut vertically from 1 and 11 o’clock at the bladder neck to 1 and 11 o’clock at the apex respectively, and retaining the longitudinal mucous membrane between 11 and 1 o’clock (including 12 o’clock). Efficacy and postoperative complications of the two groups were compared. Results:The difference between the conventional group and the modified group in operation time[(36.5±10.4)min vs.(40.7±9.7)min], enucleated glandular weight[(35.5±12.2)g vs.(31.6±10.4)g], hemoglobin decline[(6.1±2.2)g/L vs.(5.6±2.5) g/L], postoperative hospitalization time [(1.2±0.2)d vs.(1.5±0.4)d]and catheter indwelling duration[(2.3±1.3)d vs.(2.0±1.0)d] were not statistically significant ( P>0.05). There were 252 patients for follow-up, including 183 cases in the conventional group and 69 cases in the modified group, and 4 cases were lost to follow-up. Mean time of follow-up was 8.4 months. In both groups, postoperative IPSS were 5.4±2.3 and 5.9±1.2 respectively, QOL1.5±0.3 and 2.0±1.0 respectively, Q max(24.3±9.2)ml/s and (22.5±11.3)ml/s respectively and postvoid residual volume (8.3±4.5)ml and (7.7±2.9)ml respectively, which were significantly different from that before the operation ( P<0.05). However, there was not significant difference between the two groups ( P>0.05). The postoperative immediate urinary continence rate of the conventional group and modified group were 85.2% (156/183), 98.6% (68/69), respectively, and two groups had statistical differences ( P<0.05). Incidence of postoperative bladder neck contraction were 4.4% (8/183) and 0 respectively in the conventional and modified group, whose difference was significant( P<0.05). Conclusions:HoLEP with preservation of longitudinal urethral mucosa at 12 o'clock is the same effective as conventional operation in the treatment of BPH with small-medium gland, likewise it could significantly improve immediate urinary continence rate and reduce the incidence of bladder neck contraction.

We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 21 patients diagnosed with BPH combined with mild urethra stenosis from January 2018 to December 2020. 12 patients underwent holmium laser enucleation of prostate (HoLEP). There were 3 cases of serious urethra stenosis requiring repeat surgical treatment after surgery, 9 cases of unobstructed voiding, 4 cases of reverse ejaculation and 2 cases of temporary urinary incontinence. 9 patients underwent laparoscopic simple prostatectomy (LSP) and all patients had unobstructed voiding. There were no cases of severe urethral stricture, temporary urinary incontinence and retrograde ejaculation in LSP group. LSP has reduced the risk of a repeat urethral surgery because of transurethral operation increasing the degree of urethra stenosis.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between caspase recruitment domain protein 9 (CARD9) level and inflammatory response in cerebral tissue of ischemic brain injury mice.Methods:Totally 24 SPF BALB/c male mice were randomly(random number) divided into 4 groups: sham operated group, ischemia 3 h group, ischemia 6 h group, and ischemia 12 h group, 6 mice in each group. The permanant middle cerebral artery occlusion (pMCAO) model in the ischemia groups was established by using line embolism to block blood flow. Mice in each group were sacrificed at the predetermined time point after operation. CARD9 and p-p65NF-κB levels were detected by Western blot, and the inflammatory factors mRNA and protein including TNF-ɑ, IL-lβ and IL-6 were detected by RT-PCR and ELISA, respectively. The data were analyzed by SPSS 21.0 software, the comparison of measurement data between each two groups was analyzed by independent sample t test, and the correlations between CARD9 and inflammatory factors were analyzed by Pearson analysis. Results:Compared with the sham operated group, the CARD9 levels in the ischemia 3 h, 6 h and 12 h groups were increased significantly [(0.325±0.011) vs. (0.462±0.019), P=0.036; (0.735±0.036), P=0.003; (0.903±0.024), P=0.001], the p-p65NF-κB levels in the ischemia 3 h, 6 h and 12 h groups were increased significantly [(0.227±0.016) vs. (0.316±0.017), P=0.041; (0.445±0.021), P=0.016; (0.671±0.039), P=0.008], the TNF-ɑ levels in the ischemia 3 h, 6 h and 12 h groups were significantly increased [(0.53±0.06) vs. (1.06±0.10), P=0.009; (1.47±0.15), P=0.004; (2.78±0.18), P=0.001], the IL-lβ levels in the ischemia 3 h, 6 h and 12 h groups were significantly increased [(0.55±0.07) vs. (1.01±0.11), P=0.009; (2.13±0.16), P=0.003; (3.09±0.18), P=0.001], and the IL-6 levels in the ischemia 3 h, 6 h and 12 h groups were significantly increased [(1.99±0.18) vs. (4.10±0.41), P=0.006; (8.54±0.84), P=0.002; (11.56±0.96), P=0.001]. Pearson analysis showed that CARD9 was positively correlated with the p-p65NF-κB and TNF-ɑ, IL-lβ, IL-6 ( r=0.894, P=0.001; r=0.747, P=0.008; r=0.810, P=0.001; r=0.773, P=0.007). Conclusions:A positive correlation exists between CARD9 and inflammatory responses in the early stage of ischemic brain injury in mice

Objective:To evaluate the early diagnostic value of tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (TIMP-2) and insulin-like growth factor binding protein-7 (IGFBP-7) in acute kidney injury induced by sepsis.Methods:A total of 85 sepsis patients admitted to the EICU and GICU in Shanghai East Hospital from September 2017 to June 2019 were divided into theAKI group ( n=37) and the non-AKI group ( n=48) according to KIDGO diagnostic criteria, and 20 healthy volunteers were served as the control group. The clinical data were recorded and samples of urine were collected at 0 h, 6 h, 12 h, 1 d, 3 d and 7 d post sepsis. The levels of TIMP-2 and IGFBP-7 in the urine were analyzed with ELISA at different time points. Based on the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) and the area under the curve (AUC), the early diagnostic value of urinary TIMP-2 and IGFBP-7 in sepsis-induced AKI patients was determined. Results:Compared with the control group, the levels of TIMP-2 and IGFBP-7 of the AKI group were significantly higher at the above time points ( P<0.05), while those of the non-AKI group showed no significant differences. The levels of TIMP-2 and IGFBP-7 of the AKI group were significantly higher than the those of the non-AKI group ( P<0.05). ROC analysis showed that when the AUC of urine TIMP-2 peaked at 1 d, the sensitivity and specificity reached 97.5% and 81.2%, separately with the cutoff value of 151.23 ng/mL. Furthermore, when the AUC of urine IGFBP-7 peaked at 12 h, the sensitivity and specificity reached 100% and 72.8%, separately with the cutoff value of 14.91 ng/mL. Interestingly, when the AUC of combined TIMP-2×IGFBP-7 peaked at 12 h, the sensitivity reached 98.0% and specificity reached 91.5% with the cutoff value of 2.09 [(ng/mL) 2/1 000]. There was no significant correlation between the levels of TIMP-2 and IGFBP-7 with SOFA and APACHEⅡ score at 1 d, 3 d and 7 d post sepsis in the AKI group ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Urine TIMP-2 and IGFBP-7 have early diagnostic value in sepsis-induced AKI. Besides, the combination of the two biomarkers have superior predictive value than each single of them.

Skin-hearing aid is a new type of electronic product, which can improve hearing for deaf patients. It is different from audiphones and cochlear implant. The instrument makes use of the effect of the skin response to audio signals. The working process of the instrument is as following. Firstly, the sound signal is converted to audio signal by microphone, then through the power amplifier and booster. Then the signal is transmitted to the brain via skin by electrodes. And finally the hearing is formed. As skin-hearing aid transmits signals through the skin by the electrodes, the intensity of the skin resistance becomes the main factor influencing the response of the skin to audio signal. Skin resistance depends mainly upon the stratum corneum. This article aims to discuss the factors affecting the skin resistance, such as the thickness of the stratum corneum, hydration level of stratum corneum, the relation of audio frequency and skin resistance, and the skin resistance of acupuncture points.
