Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of amisulpride in the treatment of schizophrenia.Methods:Ninety patients with schizophrenia admitted to Quzhou Third Hospital from August 2020 to March 2022 were included in this study. They were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group ( n = 45/group). The control group was treated with olanzapine, and the observation group was treated with amisulpride. All patients were treated for 8 consecutive weeks. Total response rate, Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale score, Clinical Global Impression Scale-Severity of Illness score, glucose and lipid metabolism indicators, Treatment Emergent Symptom Scale score, and adverse reactions were compared between the two groups. Results:Total response rate was 88.89% (40/45) in the control group and 93.33% (42/45) in the observation group. There was no significant difference in total response rate between the two groups ( χ2 = 0.14, P > 0.05). After treatment, the PANSS score [(52.14 ± 3.99) points] and CGI-S score [(3.05 ± 0.86) points] in the observation group were significantly lower than (56.38 ± 4.05) points and (4.34 ± 0.92) points in the control group ( t = 5.00, 6.87, both P < 0.001). The levels of fasting plasma glucose [(5.25 ± 0.33) mmol/L], total cholesterol [(4.08 ± 0.67) mmol/L], triglyceride [(1.29 ± 0.35) mmol/L], and low density lipoprotein-cholesterol [(2.60 ± 0.31) mmol/L] in the observation group were significantly lower compared with the control group [(6.02 ± 0.51) mmol/L, (4.71 ± 0.59) mmol/L, (1.61 ± 0.26) mmol/L, (2.91 ± 0.34) mmol/L, t = 8.50, 3.61, 4.92, 4.52, all P < 0.001]. High density lipoprotein-cholesterol level in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group [(1.57 ± 0.36) mmol/L vs. (1.18 ± 0.42) mmol/L t = -4.73, P < 0.001]. Treatment Emergent Symptom Scale score in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group [(2.39 ± 0.58) points vs. (2.87 ± 0.62) points, t = 3.79, P < 0.05]. The incidences of drowsiness [6.67% (3/45)], constipation [8.89% (4/45)], and weight gain [2.22% (1/45)] in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group [73.33% (33/45), 28.89% (13/45), 17.78% (8/45), χ2 = 4.14, 4.64, 4.44, P < 0.05]. Conclusion:The efficacy of sulfapride in the treatment of schizophrenia is equivalent to that of olanzapine. Sulfapride is better than olanzapine in improving symptoms and reducing disease severity and has better safety.

The research progress of autologous grafts or flaps ureteroplasty in this article was reviewed and the related problems of this technique were discussed.

A novel robotic-assistant flexible ureteroscopy system: initial results from the in vitro study and the in vivo experience / 中华泌尿外科杂志

Objective:Objectives The aim of the study is to evaluate the mechanical performance, safety and efficacy of the novel robotic-assistant flexible ureteroscopy system (Ra-fURS) under in vitro and in vivo environments.Methods:Combing with commercial flexible ureteroscopes, the novel Ra-fURS was used for the in vitro test and animal model operation in October 2020. The study included three sections. ①Basic mechanical performance assessment: including endoscope motion control (dual deflection, axial rotation and forward/backward distance), reaction time and fiber regulation. ②Simulated surgery in ex-vivo 3D-printing renal collecting system model: including completion rate and time of calyxes exploration, directional movement and laser fragmentation [gypsum models (0.5×0.5×0.5 cm) were used to stimulate kidney stones]. ③Intrarenal surgeries in animal models (two 5-month female Yorkshire white pigs). In total, 32 surgeries was performed (8 surgeons × 2 pigs × 2 kidneys/pig). In vivo assessments were carried out including: ①consuming time for Ra-fURS installation and offloading; ②completion rate and time of calyxes exploration; ③comfort score (ranging from 0-10) as compared to the manual f-URS, which was corresponding to each Ra-fURS surgery. In simulated surgery and animal surgery sections, 8 surgeons were enrolled in the study (group A 4 without flexible ureteroscopy experience; group B: 4 highly experienced), and results were compared between two groups.Results:Under the Ra-fURS control, the flexible ureteroscope movement in three degrees of freedom (forward / backward: + 11 to -11 cm, axial rotation + 225°to -225°; active duel-flection: + 270°to -270°, as well as the laser fiber regulation + 2.5 to -2.5 cm). In simulated surgery tests, both groups achieved 100% completion rate of calyxes exploration, and there were no statistical differences in the time of the calyxes exploration between group A and group B (116.0±8.0)s vs.(110.3±15.4)s( P>0.05). Time-consumption for laser fragmentation of group B was shorter than that of group A (525.8±58.5)s vs. (780.5±141.2)s( P<0.01). In animal surgery, the installation time of Ra-fURS gradually shortened within the first 7 cases was(234.0±43.0)s, and became comparable in the later 8-32 cases was(149.3±8.0)s. The average uninstall time was (43.9 ±5.9)s and was relatively stable. There were 51 renal calyxes in two pigs. It was higher for the completion rate of calyxes exploration in group B than in group A [(95.5±9.1)% vs. (59.1±9.1)%, P<0.05], and the exploration time was also statistically variant between the two groups group A and group B[(274.8±34.6)s vs.(127.3±18.2)s, P<0.05]. For all the operators, the comfort scores were favorable to the Ra-fURS as compared to the manual f-URS (8.9±0.3 vs. 5.9±1.1, P<0.05). Conclusions:This preliminary study demonstrated that the novel Ra-fURS was capable of controlling flexible ureteroscope to perform retrograde intrarenal surgery and fragmenting stones with laser. Besides, other features, including easy installation, stable performance and comfortable manipulating environment, made it easy to use in clinical application.

Hybrid deep learning model for risk prediction of fracture in patients with diabetes and osteoporosis / 医学前沿

The fracture risk of patients with diabetes is higher than those of patients without diabetes due to hyperglycemia, usage of diabetes drugs, changes in insulin levels, and excretion, and this risk begins as early as adolescence. Many factors including demographic data (such as age, height, weight, and gender), medical history (such as smoking, drinking, and menopause), and examination (such as bone mineral density, blood routine, and urine routine) may be related to bone metabolism in patients with diabetes. However, most of the existing methods are qualitative assessments and do not consider the interactions of the physiological factors of humans. In addition, the fracture risk of patients with diabetes and osteoporosis has not been further studied previously. In this paper, a hybrid model combining XGBoost with deep neural network is used to predict the fracture risk of patients with diabetes and osteoporosis, and investigate the effect of patients' physiological factors on fracture risk. A total of 147 raw input features are considered in our model. The presented model is compared with several benchmarks based on various metrics to prove its effectiveness. Moreover, the top 18 influencing factors of fracture risks of patients with diabetes are determined.

There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups[25.45%(14/55) vs.12.73%(7/55), χ 2=2.884, P=0.089]. Conclusion:Oxcarbazepine combined with ziprasidone in the treatment of acute excitatory patients with schizophrenia can control the clinical symptoms, improve the serum levels of cytokines, Hcy and inflammatory factors, and has high safety.

Study on the relationship between smoking and the effect of antipsychotics in schizophrenics / 中国基层医药

Objective:To explore the relationship between smoking and the effect of antipsychotics in schizophrenics.Methods:From July 2017 to July 2019, 142 schizophrenics in the mental health center were treated with olanzapine, and the serum drug concentration and concentration/dose ratio (C/D) were calculated.The age, sex, liver function, smoking, combined medication and other clinical data of the two groups were collected, and the influencing factors of serum olanzapine concentration in schizophrenic patients were analyzed by multivariate logistic regression.Results:Forty-four patients were in the non-compliance group(serum olanzapine concentration <20ng/mL), and 98 patients were in the compliance group(serum olanzapine concentration 20-80ng/mL). In the non-compliance group, males accounted for 72.2%, the average age was (61.6±10.5)years old, smoking history accounted for 90.1%, and serum C/D was (2.5±1.1)ng·mL -1·mg -1·d -1, and in the compliance group, males accounted for 51.0%, the average age was (57.9±9.6)years old, smoking history accounted for 41.8%, and serum C/D was (3.2±1.8)ng·mL -1·mg -1·d -1, and there were statistically significant differences in sex, age, smoking history and serum C/D between the two groups ( t=5.86, χ 2=2.06, χ 2=5.43, t=2.38, all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that smoking and CYP1A2 genes were independently related to whether the plasma concentration of olanzapine was up to standard in schizophrenic patients.Compared with non-smokers, previous smoking increased the probability of blood concentration non-compliance by 11% and current smoking by 15% respectively( OR=1.15, P=0.001). And compared with CYP1A2 gene AA, CYP1A2 gene AC reduced the probability of blood concentration non-compliance by 15% and CYP1A2 gene CC by 13%( OR=0.87, P=0.002). Conclusion:There is an independent correlation between smoking and serum C/D value of olanzapine in schizophrenics.Quitting smoking can reduce the probability of substandard blood concentration.

Initial experience of flexible ureteroscopy combined with thulium laser for the treatment of upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma / 中华泌尿外科杂志

Objective@#To summarize the initial experience of flexible ureteroscopy combined with thulium laser for the treatment of high-risk upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) in patients with solitary kidney or renal insufficiency.@*Methods@#A retrospective analysis was performed in 5 cases of UTUC with solitary kidney or renal insufficiency treated via flexible ureteroscopy combined with thulium laser from May 2016 to November 2018. Patients consisted of 4 cases of left side tumor, 1 case of right side tumor, with median age of 73 years old(ranging 53-87 years old). Among the 5 cases, 3 were solitary kidney with renal pelvis tumors, 2 cases were renal insufficiency accompanied with proximal ureter or renal pelvis tumor. All the patients had tumors large than 2 cm in diameter. The creatine in 3 cases with solitary kidney was 102, 128, 143μmol/L, respectively. The creatine in 2 cases with renal insufficiency was 281, 179μmol/L, respectively. Variable hydronephrosis was noticed in all paients. The cytological examination could reveal tumor cells in all cases. During the operation, part of tumor tissues were resected for pathological examination and the remaining visible tumor tissue was all ablated and vaporized. As there was no obvious residual tumor tissue, double J stent was retained. Patients were regularly reexamined after surgery.@*Results@#Of the 5 cases, 4 patients were successfully performed, while intraoperative bleeding occurred in 1 case. The operation was suspended after indwelling double J stent. Then, the renal artery interventional embolism was performed after ineffective conservative treatment, and the bleeding was well controlled. One month later, the patient was treated with thulium laser tumor ablation and vaporizaiton under flexible ureteroscopy again. The pathology of all cases was high-grade invasive urinary epithelial carcinoma. Patients were followed up with regular imaging and endoscopic examination. The median follow-up period was 19 (4-26) months, during which 4 cases had local recurrence, one patient died of non-tumor factors. No recurrence of urothelial carcinoma occurred in the bladder during follow-up, the overall recurrence rate was 80%, and the median recurrence time was 6 (1-24) months. Patients with recurrence was treated with thulium laser tumor ablation and vaporizaiton under flexible ureteroscopy again.@*Conclusions@#Flexible ureteroscopy combined with thulium laser is an alternative treatment for high-risk upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma in patients with solitary kidney or renal insufficiency, while with high tumor recurrence rate. Therefore, a stringent imaging and endoscopic follow-up should carry out postoperatively.

Objective To analyze the relationships and differences of the clin(HFMD) ical signs and the possibility of children with herpangina developing into HFMD by observing the clinical signs.Methods Eighty children diagnosed herpangina clinically firstly were divided into Group A,B and C.Group A included 42 cases with only herpangina,and Group B including 28 cases who were herpangina developing into mild HFMD and Group C including 10 cases with serve HFMD.The clinical signs of the three groups,including blood routine test and lymphocyte count,neutrophil count,and monitor the degree of fever,blood pressure,heart rate,respiratory and digestive system,nervous system symptoms were recorded.Results In Group A,B and C,white blood cell number,lymphocyte number,neutrophil number were no significant difference(P ＞ 0.05).However,fever degree,thermal history,heart rate,respiratory rate,systolic pressure,diastolic pressure were significant differences (F =5.03,3.62,4.83,3.65,6.72,3.74 ; P ＜ 0.05).Meanwhile The sigh of loss of appetite,vomiting,diarrhea,gastrointestinal symptoms and easily frightened,limb jitter,sleepiness were statistically significant(x2 =6.10,5.75,4.86,3.58,3.42,4.35;P ＜0.05).Conclusion The herpangina children with symptoms and signs such as higher fever and higher blood pressure,simultaneously with diarrhea,vomiting,hyperarousal and amyostasia,have the more chance to develop HFMD.

The clinical efficacy of Citric acid tandospirone in treating generalized anxiety neurosis / 中国基层医药

Objective To investigate clinical efficacy and adverse reactions of Citric acid tandospirone in treating generalized anxiety neurosis.By doing this study,we provide clinical evidence for citric acid tandospirone in treating generalized anxiety neurosis.Methods 92 patients with generalized anxiety were randomly divided into the control group and observation group according to the random number table.There were 46 cases in each group.In the observation group,the patients were given acid citrate edge tandospirone.At the starting the patients were taken 15mg/d. After 3 days the dose increased to 35mg/d by 5mg.The average dose was (31 ±3.4)mg/d.In control group,accord-ing to different patients sleep condition,oxazepam tablets were taken.The daily dosage does not exceed 30mg/d.After two weeks,the dose was gradually reduced to the end.The clinical efficacy,HAMA score and adverse reactions in the two groups were compared.Results Compared to prior treatment,after 2 weeks and 4 weeks the HAMA score in the two groups were significantly different (P0.05).The rate of adverse reaction in the observation group was 32.6%.The rate of adverse reaction in the control group was 63%.The rate of adverse reaction in the control group and observation group had sig-nificantly different (χ2 =8.58,P<0.05) .Conclusion Acid citrate edge tandospirone on the treatment of general-ized anxiety neurosis showed obviously effect and had fewer adverse reactions.The clinical program is worth of further study and clinical application.

Flexible ureterorenoscopy with holmium laser lithotripsy in management of symptomatic caliceal diverticular calculi / 中华泌尿外科杂志

Objective To evaluate the therapeutic effect of flexible ureterorenoscopy (F-URS) with holmium laser lithotripsy in managing symptomatic caliceal diverticular calculi. Methods The records of 23 patients by flexible ureterorenoscopy (F-URS) with holmium laser lithotripsy in managing symptomatic caliceal diverticular calculi from January 2008 to December 2010 were retrospectively reviewed.The 23 cases included 15 males and 8 females,aged from 23 to 68 years.All patients had unilateral calyceal diverticulum stone,with 11,9,and 3 cases had a caliceal diverticular stone in the upper pole,midkidney,and lower pole,respectively.Sand-like stones were observed in most caliceal diverticular.The diameter of the largest stone was 18.9 mm.The presenting symptoms were flank pain,recurrent urinary tract infections,and hematuria.One week before operations,all patients was placed Double-J stent and underwent intravenous urography and renal computed tomography (CT).The ureteral access sheath was placed firstly during operation,and then ureterorenoscope was inserted into the renal pelvis.The diverticular neck was incised with holmium laser if needed,and a 200um holmium laser fiber was used to crush diverticular stone. Results Flexible ureterorenoscopes were successfully placed in all patients.Postoperatively,15 (65.3％patients were rendered stone free (SF),5 patients had clinically insigni? cant residual fragmentsless than 4 mm )( CIRF),and a residual fragment (RF) was found in three patients.The success rate ( SF ± CIRF) was 87.0％.All patients were symptom free after operation.The average operative time and hospital stay were 60 minutes and 3.5 days,respectively.No severe complications occured.A follow-up of 6 -12 months showed no recurrence. Conclusions F-URS using a holmium laser lithotripsy is a safe and effective,and may be offered as a first line therapy for symptomatic caliceal diverticula calculi.

Comparative proteomic analysis of renal tubular epithelial cell injury caused by oxalic acid and calcium oxalate monohydrate / 中华泌尿外科杂志

Objective To analyze and identify the differentially expressed proteins in human renal tubular epithelial cells (HK-2) after injury caused by oxalic acid and calcium oxalate monohydrate (COM) crystal, and to explore the potential role of renal tubular cell injury in kidney stone formation.Methods Normal HK-2 cells were cultured in vitro and the culture medium was changed with serum-free medium after cell growth to confluence. Oxalic acid and COM crystals (final concentration at 2 mmol/L and 200 mg/L, respectively) were added in the experimental group. Cells in both groups were then incubated at 37 ℃ for 12 h. The extracted proteins from both groups were separated by two dimensional electrophoresis followed by analysis, and the differentially expressed proteins were identified by liquid chromatography electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS/MS). Two identified proteins were then verified by western blot. Results Reproducible two dimensional gel images of the proteins from both groups were successfully obtained. By using LC-ESI-MS/MS, 12 proteins: FK506-binding protein 4, isoform alpha-enolase of alpha-enolase, isoform M1 of pyruvate kinase isozymes M1/M2, ATP synthase subunit alpha, isoform 1 of 3′(2′), 5′-bisphosphate nucleotidase 1, isoform 2 of nucleophosmin, L-lactate dehydrogenase B chain, Budding uninhibited by benzimidazoles 3, Cofilin-1, Fascin, pyIsoform 1 of cytosol aminopeptidase, were identified. The deferentially expressed proteins were related to cellular processes including energy metabolism, cell multiplication, apoptosis, Ca2+ channel activity regulation, cell movement and signal transduction. Western blot verified that higher ENO1 but lower Cofilin-1 expressed in HK-2 cells after the injury. Conclusions High level oxalic acid and COM crystals can cause protein expression profile changes in normal human HK-2 cells. The changes of protein expression may not only protect HK-2 cells from being injured, but also be related to kidney stone formation.
