Objective: To investigate the influencing factors of overactive bladder (OAB) in college freshmen and the impacts of OAB on their mental health, quality of life and social interaction. Methods: An epidemiological questionnaire survey was conducted in an anonymous manner on the prevalence of OAB among 5300 freshmen aged 17 to 22 years enrolled in the 2023—2024 academic year in Xinxiang Medical University and Sanquan College of Xinxiang Medical University.The questionnaire included questions on basic information, history of urinary tract infection, constipation, smoking, history of alcohol consumption, history of coffee/strong tea drinking, history of carbonated beverage drinking, redundant prepuce, phimosis, holding urine, chronic insomnia, self-rating anxiety scale (SAS), quality of life score (QoL), and social avoidance and distress scale (SADS).The influencing factors of OAB were analyzed with multivariate logistic regression analysis.The subjects were grouped according to whether they had OAB, and the differences in SAS, QoL and SADS between the OAB group and non-OAB group were compared.The impacts of OAB on the anxiety level, quality of life, and social interaction were analyzed with multiple linear regression analysis. Results: The overall prevalence rate of OAB was 4.9% (244/5018).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the history of urinary tract infection (OR=0.177), constipation (OR=0.636), smoking (OR=0.582), alcohol consumption (OR=0.685), coffee/strong tea drinking (OR=0.387), carbonated beverage drinking (OR=0.631), redundant prepuce (OR=0.673), phimosis (OR=0.311), urine holding (OR=0.593), and chronic insomnia (OR=0.256) were influencing factors for the occurrence of OAB (P＜0.05).The OAB group had higher SAS score [(41.18±6.54) vs. (38.61±6.36)], QoL score [(3.65±1.20) vs. (2.79±0.95)], social avoidance score [(6.25±1.86) vs. (5.86±1.51)], social distress score [(6.27±1.59) vs. (5.97±1.32)], and total SADS score [(12.51±2.35) vs. (11.84±2.01)] than the non-OAB group (P＜0.05).The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that OAB could independently affect the scores of QoL, SAS, and SADS.The OAB group had higher scores of QoL, SAS, and SADS compared with the non-OAB group (P＜0.001). Conclusion: History of urinary tract infection, constipation, smoking, alcohol consumption, coffee/strong tea drinking, carbonated beverage drinking, redundant prepuce, phimosis, urine holding, and chronic insomnia are influencing factors for the occurrence of OAB in male college students.Moreover, OAB has negative impacts on their mental health, quality of life, and social interaction.

AIM: To compare the effectiveness of foldable capsular body(FCB)with traditional scleral buckling(SB)in the treatment of experimental retinal detachment animal models.METHODS: After successfully establishing rhegmatogenous retinal detachment(RRD)animal models, 24 New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into three groups(RRD models group, SB group, and FCB group), with 8 rabbits in each group. The FCB and SB groups underwent SB and FCB surgeries for the RRD animal models, while the RRD models group only consists of RRD models without any surgical intervention during the follow-up period. The follow-up duration was 3 mo. Wide-field neonatal fundus imaging system and ophthalmic B-ultrasound were used to assess the fundus conditions before and after surgery. The Icare® TONOVET Plus tonometer was utilized to evaluate intraocular pressure changes before and after surgery. The Eaton and Draize scoring systems were selected to monitor postoperative inflammatory reactions.RESULTS: The retinal reattachment rates in the FCB and SB groups were 87.5% and 75.0%, respectively, with no statistically significant difference between the groups(P>0.05). The intraocular pressure in both the FCB and SB groups increased postoperatively compared to preoperative levels(P<0.01), and there were no significant differences in intraocular pressure at any time points during the follow-up period between the groups(P>0.05). The intraocular pressure in the RRD models group remained at a low level throughout the follow-up period. The average surgical time for the FCB group was 16.87±2.29 min, which was shorter than 46.25±4.74 min in the SB group(t=-15.166, P<0.001). According to the Eaton and Draize scoring systems, the FCB group had lower grades of conjunctival hyperemia and edema in the early postoperative period compared to the SB group, indicating milder inflammatory reactions(P<0.05).CONCLUSION: Both FCB and SB are effective in treating experimental RRD. Compared to SB, FCB is simpler to operate, and also has a shorter surgical time and milder postoperative inflammatory reactions.

[Objective] To investigate the impacts of voiding positions on urinary flow measurement (UFM) and post voided residual (PVR) in young males, to explore a better voiding position, and to provide reference for the clinical application of UFM. [Methods] A total of 43 male medical students (22-28 years old, all healthy with no lower urinary tract symptoms) from the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinxiang Medical College were enrolled.UFM was recorded in standing position, forward-bentding sitting position and sitting position, respectively.PVR was determined with B-ultrasound immediately after each voiding.Voided volume (VV), maximum urine flow rate (Qmax), average urine flow rate (Qave) and PVR were compared. [Results] In the standing, forward-bending sitting, and seating positions the VV were 211.6 (169.5, 265.9) mL, 206.8 (173.5, 262.8) mL, and 203.7 (175.9, 260.0) mL, respectively, with no significant difference (P=0.486); the Qmax were (26.00±2.33) mL/s, (26.41±2.12) mL/s, and (23.50±2.52) mL/s, respectively; the Qave were (14.03±2.21) mL/s, (14.27±2.18) mL/s, and (11.77±1.89) mL/s, respectively; the PVR were (9.97±2.26) mL, (9.43±1.97) mL and (12.10±3.28) mL, respectively.The Qmax and Qave in standing position and forward-bending sitting position were significantly higher than those in the sitting position, while the PVR was lower than that in the sitting position, with statistically significant difference (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in Qmax, Qave and PVR between the forward-bending sitting and standing positions (P>0.05). [Conclusion] Standing position and forward-bending seating position are beneficial for emptying the bladder, and these two positions are recommended for young men to urinate as the first choice.

Objective To analyze the effect of microRNA-22-3p (miR-22-3p) of extracellular vesicles derived from bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells on premature ovarian failure. Methods Follicular fluids were provided by premature ovarian failure patients with in vitro fertilization or the second-generation in vitro fertilization treatment and normal volunteers with the same treatment for infertility due to male factors; the exosomes derived from bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were isolated by differential centrifugation; the morphology, particle size and marker proteins of isolated exosomes were analyzed by transmission electron microscopy, NanoSight LM10 analyzer and Western blotting. Granulosa cells were treated with cyclophosphamide (CTX), exosomes, miR-22-3 mimics and corresponding controls, and were divided into CTX group, control group, exosome incubation group, PBS treatment group, CTX+miR-22-3p group, CTX+miR-NC group, CTX+Exosomes group, and CTX+PBS group; gene expression was detected by Western blotting and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). The 3-(4, 5-Dimethylthazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) reagent and flow cytometry were used to detect cell viability and apoptosis. Results The extracted exosomes had typical goblet vesicles, the exosome marker proteins C cluster of differentiation 63 (CD63) and C cluster of differentiation 9 (CD9) were expressed in the extracted exosomes, and exosome particle size was 80 to 150 nm; miR-22-3p was significantly lowly expressed in patients with premature ovarian failure and ovarian granulosa cells induced by CTX (P < 0.05), but was significantly highly expressed in ovarian granulosa cells incubated with exosomes derived from bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (P < 0.05); the activity of granulosa cells in the CTX group was significantly lower than that in the control group, but was significantly higher in the CTX+miR-22-3p group or CTX+Exosomes group than that in the control group (P < 0.05); the apoptosis rate of granulosa cells in the CTX group was significantly higher than that in the control group, but was significantly lower in the CTX+miR-22-3p or CTX+Exosomes group than that in the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion The miR-22-3p of extracellular vesicles derived from bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells can inhibit ovarian granulosa cell injury induced by CTX.

Objective To explore the predictive value of combined detection of immunoglobulin binding protein 1 (IGBP 1) in serum and urine in lupus nephritis (LN). Methods A total of 60 LN patients were selected as LN group, and 60 SLE erythematosus (SLE) patients in the same period were selected as SLE group, the serum IGBP 1 and urinary IGBP 1 levels between the two groups were compared, and the value of serum IGBP 1, urinary IGBP 1 and their combination in predicting LN was analyzed. Results Serum IGBP 1 and urinary IGBP 1 in the LN group were significantly higher than those in the SLE group (P < 0.05). Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that serum IGBP 1 and urinary IGBP 1 were risk factors for LN (P < 0.05). Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve revealed that the area under the curve (AUC) for serum IGBP1, urinary IGBP1, and their combined detection for LN was 0.856, 0.834, and 0.902, respectively. The Youden index was 0.533, 0.533, and 0.666, respectively. The sensitivity and specificity of serum IGBP1 were 85.0% and 68.3%, respectively. The sensitivity and specificity of urinary IGBP1 were 53.3% and 100.0%, respectively. The sensitivity and specificity of the combined detection were 78.3% and 88.3%, respectively. Conclusion Serum IGBP 1 and urinary IGBP 1 are highly expressed in LN patients, and their combination has a high predictive value for LN.

Objective To analyze the effect of nursing interventions based on the Information-Motivation-Behavioral Skills (IMB) model in patients with functional dyspepsia, in order to improve their psychological state and gastrointestinal motility, and provide reference for clinical nursing. Methods A total of 160 functional dyspepsia patients admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinxiang Medical College from December 2022 to June 2023 were chosen as the study subjects. They were randomly divided into control group and observation group, using a random number table method, with 80 cases in each group. Patients in control group were given routine nursing intervention, and patients in the observation group were treated nursing intervention based on IMB model. The psychological state, gastrointestinal motility andquality of life of the two groups were compared before and after intezrvention. Results After intervention, the scores of Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA) and Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD) in two groups were decreased, and the observation group was lower than that in the control group (P < 0.05). After intervention, the levels of gastrointestinal hormone nitric oxide (NO), serum motilin (MTL) andserum gastrin (GAS) in two groups were improved, and the levels of all indexes in the observation group were better than those in the control group (P < 0.05). After intervention, gastrointestinal quality of life index (GIQLI) of two groups was improved, and the observation group was higher than the control group, the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion Nursing interventions based on the IMB model are beneficial for alleviating anxiety and depression in patients with functional dyspepsia, effectively enhancing gastrointestinal motility and vitality, and improving their quality of life.

BACKGROUND: LY01005 (Goserelin acetate sustained-release microsphere injection) is a modified gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist injected monthly. This phase III trial study aimed to evaluated the efficacy and safety of LY01005 in Chinese patients with prostate cancer. METHODS: We conducted a randomized controlled, open-label, non-inferiority trial across 49 sites in China. This study included 290 patients with prostate cancer who received either LY01005 or goserelin implants every 28 days for three injections. The primary efficacy endpoints were the percentage of patients with testosterone suppression ≤50 ng/dL at day 29 and the cumulative probability of testosterone ≤50 ng/dL from day 29 to 85. Non-inferiority was prespecified at a margin of -10%. Secondary endpoints included significant castration (≤20 ng/dL), testosterone surge within 72 h following repeated dosing, and changes in luteinizing hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, and prostate specific antigen levels. RESULTS: On day 29, in the LY01005 and goserelin implant groups, testosterone concentrations fell below medical-castration levels in 99.3% (142/143) and 100% (140/140) of patients, respectively, with a difference of -0.7% (95% confidence interval [CI], -3.9% to 2.0%) between the two groups. The cumulative probabilities of maintaining castration from days 29 to 85 were 99.3% and 97.8%, respectively, with a between-group difference of 1.5% (95% CI, -1.3% to 4.4%). Both results met the criterion for non-inferiority. Secondary endpoints were similar between groups. Both treatments were well-tolerated. LY01005 was associated with fewer injection-site reactions than the goserelin implant (0% vs . 1.4% [2/145]). CONCLUSION: LY01005 is as effective as goserelin implants in reducing testosterone to castration levels, with a similar safety profile. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT04563936.

【Objective】 To investigate the intrinsic relationship of social support and psychological capital with college students’ volunteer motivation in the post-epidemic era so as to provide theoretical basis for formulating policies and measures to increase college students’ participation in volunteer activities. 【Methods】 In March 2022, 1 120 college students from 15 universities in Henan Province were selected by convenient sampling method. Their general information, social support, psychological capital, and volunteer motivation were investigated, and univariate analysis, correlation analysis and intermediary effect analysis were performed. 【Results】 The differences of scores in six dimensions of volunteer motivation (i.e., values, understanding, enhancement, career, social interaction, and self-protection) were statistically significant (F=124.90, P<0.001). There were significant differences in social support level of college students of different genders (t=-2.40, P<0.05), and the difference in volunteer motivation level among different grades of college students was statistically significant (F=6.72, P<0.001). Social support, psychological capital, and volunteer motivation were positively correlated with one another (r=0.41, r=0.35, r=0.50, P<0.001). Part of the intermediary effect of psychological capital between social support and volunteer motivation was significant (intermediary effect value=0.49, 95% CI: 0.39-0.59). 【Conclusion】 Colleges and universities can take corresponding measures to improve college students’ volunteer motivation level by improving social support and psychological capital level.

Central nervous system involvement in primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) is less common and usually presents as white matter lesions, neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD), or transverse myelitis. NMOSD is an immune-mediated inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system with a high rate of relapse and significant disability. Studies have shown that patients with pSS combined with NMOSD have more severe symptoms and poorer prognosis. Here, we present a case of critical illness in pregnancy-associated NMOSD combined with Sjögren's syndrome. The patient was a 30-year-old pregnant woman with a history of Sjögren's syndrome who was diagnosed with NMOSD. She received combination therapy with steroids, intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG), and hydroxychloroquine during pregnancy, resulting in partial resolution of numbness below the waist. However, due to irregular medication adherence outside the hospital setting, she developed weakness in her right lower limb accompanied by inability to move it, while her left lower limb still had some mobility but occasional numbness along with urinary and fecal incontinence. Ten days later, she was admitted to the emergency department where an emergency cesarean section was performed to deliver a healthy baby boy. However, her condition worsened postpartum as she developed high fever accompanied by bilateral lower limb paralysis and weakness along with loss of voluntary control over urination and defecation. The patient underwent ano-ther course of treatment consisting of steroids and IVIG; however there was limited improvement in symptoms observed after this intervention. Following administration of rituximab for the first time, the patient developed urinary tract infection which was successfully managed before continuing regular infusions. In later stages the patient could walk slightly with a limp and regained control over urination and defecation, allowing her to resume normal activities. This case suggests that combination therapy with steroids, IVIG, and hydroxychloroquine should be considered for the patients with pregnancy-associated NMOSD combined with Sjögren's syndrome. Rituximab can significantly improve symptoms such as postpartum paralysis in patients with NMOSD, however, there may be a risk of infection associated with its use.
