Background: Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is the most common benign disease causing voiding dysfunction in middle-aged and elderly men. the current "gold standard" for surgical treatment is transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). Continuous bladder irrigation (CBI) is routinely given for 3 to 5 days after operation.

Patients of diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) are susceptible to COVID-19-induced adverse outcomes. Nevertheless, investigations into their mutual molecular mechanisms have been limited to date.

The HRTM process uses a mixture of prepreg and dry fabric to lay up a hybrid fiber preform, and involves injecting liquid resin technology. Using this process, a longitudinally and transversely stiffened panel structure is prepared, and the failure modes under compressive load are explored.

Burn victims are susceptible to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection leading to delayed recovery and even profound debilitation. Nevertheless, the molecular mechanisms underlying COVID-19 and severe burn are yet to be elucidated.

Measurements were obtained over a wide range of temperatures from 300-800 K for compositions between 10%-16% replacement of bismuth by strontium. The results show a clear variation of the two main structural deformations-symmetry-breaking rotations of the FeOoctahedra and polar ionic displacements that give ferroelectricity-with chemical composition, but relatively little variation with temperature.

Pelvic floor muscle rehabilitation training is recognized as the first line of intervention measures, but the existing rehabilitation training programs are not clear in the formulation process, the content is not unified, and the clinical operability is not strong. In order to better guide clinical pelvic floor muscle rehabilitation training after LRP and prevent and control urinary incontinence, this study constructed a pelvic floor muscle rehabilitation training program for LRP patients.

Methods: The preliminary draft of intervention plan was formulated based on risk factor analysis research results of early UTI after kidney transplantation, combined with theoretical research, literature review, and research group meeting. The Delphi method was used to consult 15 experts for two rounds, and the entries were modified according to the opinions of the experts.
Background: In China, the incidence of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is rising with the average lifespan of men. Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is recognized as the gold standard for surgical treatment of BPH. Continuous bladder irrigation (CBI) is often required after operation.

Background: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is the most common kind of infection in the early stage after kidney transplantation. Although many studies have investigated the risk factors for UTI following kidney transplantation, few studies have focused on the risk factors for UTI in the early stage after transplantation.
Methods: The early-stage data of patients who underwent kidney transplantation between January 2018 and December 2019 in a first-class tertiary hospital in Suzhou, China, were retrospectively analyzed.
Background: Renal transplantation is the optimal treatment for end-stage renal diseases. However, low self-care ability after discharge seriously reduces the postoperative quality of life and decreases the survival of both patients and grafts. Transitional care entails a broad range of services designed to ensure health care continuity from hospital to home.

The obtained hexagonal Cu-Sn nanoplates were highly monodisperse and allowed the formation of nanoarrays arranged with long-range order. The hexagonal Cu-Sn nanoplates exhibited high catalytic activity on catalytic hydrogenation of 4-nitrophenol to 4-aminophenol.

The CTAB plays a vital role in the synthesis process, whereas the copper nanorod arrays assembled by copper nanoparticles are obtained without CTAB. The copper nanoflowers are used as catalysts in oxygen reduction reactions and exhibit excellent electrocatalytic activity, which shows nearly the same activity compared with the commercial Pt/C catalyst, attributing to the nanoflower-exposed higher catalytic active (200) facets.

Objective: To explore the methods for repairing deep wound on the head due to high-voltage electrical burn (HEB).
Methods: Twenty-six patients with deep wounds on the head due to HEB were hospitalized from June 2002 to May 2012. They were all injured by high-voltage (voltage ranged from 380 V to 300 kV) electric current, involving head and several other parts over the body.

Objective: To investigate the clinical application of reversed small saphenous vein-sural neurovascular island flap for reconstruction of soft tissue defect on foot and ankle in children.
Methods: From July 2006 to June 2008, 8 children with soft tissue defects on foot, heel or ankle were treated with reversed small saphenous vein-sural neurovascular island flaps. The size of flaps ranged from 6 cm x 5 cm to 9 cm x 7 cm.
