Pro-inflammatory diet and risk of prostate diseases, lower urinary tract symptoms: A cross-sectional study from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2003 to 2008.

Evidence suggests a strong association between prostate diseases, lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), and pro-inflammatory diets. Our study was conducted to assess the relationship between the Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII) and prostate diseases, LUTS using the 2003 to 2008 U.S.

Urothelial carcinoma of the renal pelvis with squamous and sarcomatoid differentiation complicated by hydronephrosis and pyelonephritis: a case report and literature review.

Background: Renal pelvic urothelial carcinoma with multiple histological variants co-occurs with hydronephrosis and pyelonephritis extremely rarely. The diagnosis of renal pelvic urothelial carcinoma can be complicated by these conditions, leading to delayed or missed diagnosis or misdiagnosis.

Case Presentation: We report the evolutionary course of a rare case of renal pelvic urothelial carcinoma containing squamous and sarcomatoid differentiation associated with hydronephrosis and pyelonephritis in a low-functioning kidney.

[Testosterone replacement therapy improves metabolic indexes of the patients with hypogonadism: A meta-analysis].

Objective: To systematically evaluate the effect of testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) on metabolic indexes in patients with hypogonadism.

Methods: We searched the databases of CNKI, CBM, Wanfang Data, VIP, PubMed, Medline, Embase and Cochrane Library from the establishment to May 2021 for clinical randomized controlled trials (RCT) on the improvement of metabolic indexes of the patients with hypogonadism treated by TRT. According to the inclusion and excretion criteria, we screened the literature, extracted the data and evaluated the quality of the included RCTs, followed by statistical analysis with the STATA15.

Clinical analysis of severe COVID-19 patients.

Background: Patients with unexplained pneumonia appeared in Wuhan, Hubei Province at the end of 2019.

Objective: To analyze the clinical data of patients with severe COVID-19.

Methods: Medical records of 28 severe patients admitted to the intensive care unit of Wuhan Xinzhou District People's Hospital were collected from January 31 to March 17.

Case series of COVID-19 patients from the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau Area in China.

Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a serious infection caused by the new coronavirus severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. The disease was first identified in December 2019 and has caused significant morbidity and mortality worldwide.

Aim: To explore the clinical characteristics and treatments for COVID-19 in the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau Area in China.

[Transurethral holmium laser enucleation of the prostate combined with Jisheng Shenqi Decoction for benign prostatic hyperplasia].

Objective: To assess the clinical effects of transurethral holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) combined with Jisheng Shenqi Decoction (HoLEP + JSSD) on BPH.

Methods: This study included 110 BPH patients treated in our hospital from August 2017 to April 2018, who were randomly assigned to receive HoLEP (n = 55) or HoLEP + JSSD (n = 55). We compared the pre- and post-operative IPSS, quality of life (QOL) score, prostate volume, postvoid residual urine volume (PVR), maximum urinary flow rate (Qmax), average urinary flow rate (Qavg) and levels of serum T, E2 and T/E2 as well as postoperative complications between the two groups of patients.

Controllable optical rogue waves via nonlinearity management.

Using a similarity transformation, we obtain analytical solutions to a class of nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equations with variable coefficients in inhomogeneous Kerr media, which are related to the optical rogue waves of the standard NLS equation. We discuss the dynamics of such optical rogue waves via nonlinearity management, i.e.

Lung-protective Ventilation in Patients with Brain Injury: A Multicenter Cross-sectional Study and Questionnaire Survey in China.

Background: Over the years, the mechanical ventilation (MV) strategy has changed worldwide. The aim of the present study was to describe the ventilation practices, particularly lung-protective ventilation (LPV), among brain-injured patients in China.

Methods: This study was a multicenter, 1-day, cross-sectional study in 47 Intensive Care Units (ICUs) across China.

[Bundle program of treatment for acute severe type high altitude disease].

Objective: To discuss Bundle treatment of the acute severe type high altitude disease.

Methods: The prospective and randomized controlled trial was conducted. Two hundred and three patients with high altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE) or high altitude cerebral edema (HACE) met inclusion criteria were included, and were randomly divided into Bundle treatment group (n = 125) and conventional treatment control group (n = 78).
