ABSTRACT
【Objective】 To analyze the causes of the failure of previous operations in female patients with stress urinary incontinence (SUI), and to evaluate the efficacy and safety of modified transobturator outside-in tape (TOT). 【Methods】 A total of 42 female SUI patients who had failed in previous anti-incontinence surgery during Aug.2016 and Jul.2022 were enrolled. The causes of failure were analyzed. All patients were treated with modified TOT, and the operation time, estimated blood loss, duration of catheterization, symptom improvement and complications were observed. The outcomes were evaluated with the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire Short Form (ICI-Q-SF), pad test and urodynamic study. 【Results】 All operations were technically successful. The average operation time was (32.4±18.6) min, and estimated blood loss was (54.2±34.5) mL. There were no obvious complications. After operation, the ICI-Q-SF score significantly decreased (P0.05). The overall effective rate was 88.1%. 【Conclusion】 Modified TOT can be used for the treatment of patients with failed anti-SUI surgery, which is simple and easy to perform, with a low complication rate and satisfactory postoperative results.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effect of different optimization algorithms on accurate reconstruction of traffic accidents. Methods Non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm-II ( NSGA-II), neighborhood cultivation genetic algorithm (NCGA) and multi-objective particle swarm optimization (MOPSO) were used to optimize the multi-rigid body dynamic reconstruction of a real case. The effects of different optimization algorithms on convergence speed and optimal approximate solution were studied. The optimal initial impact parameters were simulated as boundary conditions of finite element method, and the simulated results were compared with the actual injuries. Results NCGA had a faster convergence speed and a better result in optimization process. The kinematic response of pedestrian vehicle collision reconstructed by the optimal approximate solution was consistent with the surveillance video. The prediction of craniocerebral injury was basically consistent with the cadaver examination. Conclusions The combination of optimization algorithm, rigid multibody and finite element method can complete the accurate reconstruction of traffic accidents and reduce the influence of human factors.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of transurethral Moses holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (MoLEP) in the treatment of small-volume benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).Methods:The clinical data of 132 patients with small BPH (prostate volume <40 ml) who underwent MoLEP from October 2017 to April 2020 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University were analyzed retrospectively.The age of the patients was (63.93±5.21) years old, including 12 patients with cystolithiasis. The prostate volume of 132 patients was (32.16±7.81) ml, the preoperative international prostate symptom score (IPSS) was 23.00(15.00-34.00), the quality of life score (QOL) was 5(2-6), the maximum urinary flow rate (Q max) was 7.80(0.80-9.80)ml/s and residual urine volume (PVR) was 158(51-409) ml. 89 patients had the preoperative maximum detrusor contractility (64.23±8.11) cmH 2O. Surgical methods: the 120 W Moses laser platform(Lumenis Inc)was used, the cutting power was adjusted to 80 W (2.0J×40Hz) (narrow pulse width mode), and the hemostatic power 24W (0.8J×30Hz) (wide pulse width mode). Patients with bladder calcifications underwent Moses laser bladder stone lithotripsy.After the initial resection by the level of verumontanum was performed, an anatomic plane was exposed and carried forward until the bladder neck. If prostate stones were found, Moses holmium laser lithotripsy can be performed directly. After operation, the bladder was continuously flushed with normal saline. The catheter was removed 24 hours after the operation. The operation status, intraoperative and postoperative complications were recorded. IPSS, QOL, Q max and PVR were followed up 3 months after surgery. Postoperative urinary incontinence is defined as the need for 2 pads or more within 24 hours. Results:The operations of 132 cases (including 12 cases with bladder stones) were successfully completed. 30 cases with prostate calcifications were found during the operation. The operation time (enucleation time) was (16.83±4.03) min. There were no perioperative complications such as blood transfusion, transurethral resection syndrome, urinary retention and venous thromboembolism. No bladder neck contracture or recurrence of bladder stones was found after surgery. Postoperative urethral stricture occured in 2 cases (1.5%), and postoperative urinary incontinence in 27 cases (20.5%). There were 102 cases (77.3%) with chronic interstitial inflammatory cell infiltration. Three months after operation, IPSS was 7(0-14), QOL was 2(0-5), Q max was 17.55(9.40-26.50)ml/s and PVR was 27(0-46) ml, which were significantly improved compared with preoperatively( P<0.05). Conclusions:MoLEP can significantly improve lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and life quality of patients with small-volume BPH.At the same time, the incidence of complications such as urethral stricture and urinary incontinence is lower. The operation is safe and reliable, and bladder stone lithotripsy can be performed at the same time.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the electroencephalogram (EEG)features and related factors of children with febrile convulsion (FC).Methods The clinical and EEG data of 168 FC children were retrospectively analyzed.Results Of 168 children with FC,the initial issuance of 147 patients aged 0.5 -3 years old (87.30%),>3 years was 21 cases (11.10%),3 -year -old children within the age of multiple febrile seizures;the abnormal rate of EEG≤3 years old febrile seizures was 25.20%,>3 years old abnormal rate was 75.00%,indicated that with age increased,higher rate of EEG abnormalities;abnormal rate of EEG in children ≥ 38.5℃ was 26.20%,EEG abnormal rate in children 3 times the EEG abnormality was 64.88%(P <0.05),indicated that repeated seizures,the likelihood of cerebral injury larger. Conclusion EEG abnormality rate is related with clinical features of the FC;FC EEG in children should be regular inspections to closely follow up observation of disease prognosis.
