Objective: To observe the effect of electroacupuncture(EA) on pain-ralated behaviors, morphology of hippocampus, concentrations of inflammatory cytokines and expression of ionized calcium binding adapter molecule 1(Iba-1) in dorsal horn of the spinal cord and the hippocampus, and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in hippocampus of rats with knee osteoarthritis (KOA), so as to explore the mechanism of EA in improving chronic pain of KOA.
Methods: Forty SD rats were randomly divided into blank group, saline group, model group and EA group, with 10 rats in each group. Monosodium iodoacetate(MIA, 80 mg/mL, 50 μL) was injected into the left knee joint cavity of rats in the model group and EA group to establish the chronic pain model of KOA, while the same volume of normal saline was injected into the left knee joint cavity of rats in the saline group.
Purpose: To explore the relationship between the genotype and renal phenotype in a Chinese cohort and guide clinical decision-making for treating tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC).
Materials And Methods: We reviewed 173 patients with definite TSC at three centers in China from September 2014 to September 2020. All the patients underwent TSC1 and TSC2 genetic testing as well as renal phenotypic evaluation.
To assess the safety and efficacy of low-dose everolimus maintenance therapy for tuberous sclerosis complex-related renal angiomyolipoma (TSC-RAML) patients that had previously undergone standard-dose treatment for a minimum of 6 months. In total, 24 patients with a definitive TSC diagnosis were enrolled from April 2018 - April 2019 at Xiangya Hospital, Central South University. All patients underwent low-dose everolimus maintenance therapy following standard-dose everolimus induction therapy for a minimum of 6 months.

Materials: The expression of MALAT1 was tested by in situ hybridization (ISH) in 120 bladder cancer specimens. The association between MALAT1 expression and clinicopathological features and prognosis of the patients with bladder cancer was analyzed.
Purpose: To report a modified retroperitoneoscopic dismembered pyeloplasty technique and its application in the treatment of ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO).
Materials And Methods: From June 2010 to March 2012, retroperitoneoscopic dismembered pyeloplasty was performed in 46 patients with UPJO. Briefly, the renal pelvis was incised in the anterior aspect instead of the lateral aspect, and proximal ureter was spatulated with incision on its posterior wall.
Objective: To prospectively study the surgical strategies and clinical efficacy of laparoendoscopic single-site (LESS) inguinal lymphadenectomy compared with conventional endoscopic inguinal lymphadenectomy for the management of inguinal nodes.
Patients And Methods: A total of 12 patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the penis who underwent penectomy between February and July 2013 were enrolled in the study. All 12 patients underwent bilateral inguinal lymphadenectomy (LESS inguinal lymphadenectomy in one limb and conventional endoscopic inguinal lymphadenectomy in the other) with preservation of the saphenous vein.
