AI Article Synopsis

  • The study aimed to compare the effectiveness of microscopic surgery versus conventional surgery for treating penile hypospadias in children, focusing on clinical outcomes and urodynamic measurements.
  • Eighty children were divided into two groups, with one receiving microscopic urethroplasty and the other traditional urethroplasty; various metrics like operation time, blood loss, and complication rates were compared.
  • Results showed that microscopic surgery led to better outcomes, including higher efficacy, less blood loss, shorter hospital stays, and improved urodynamic parameters over time compared to conventional methods.

Article Abstract

Objective: To compare and analyze the clinical effects of microscopic surgery and conventional surgery in children with penile hypospadias and the differences in postoperative urodynamic indexes.

Methods: It was a clinical comparative study. A total of 80 children with penile hypospadias admitted to Beijing Children's Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University Baoding Hospital from July 2018 to September 2022 were selected and randomly divided into two group. The experimental group were treated with microscopic urethroplasty, while the control group were treated with traditional urethroplasty. The operative effect, operation time, total intraoperative blood loss, postoperative hospital stay and incidence of surgical complications were compared and analyzed between the two groups. All the children were followed up for two years, and the changes in urodynamic parameters including maximum urine flow rate (Qmax), average urine flow rate (Qavc), urine flow time (FT), peak time (TQmax) and residual urine (PVR) were compared before, two weeks after, six months after and two years after surgery.

Results: The efficacy of the experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control group (p=0.013). The intraoperative blood loss and postoperative hospital stay in the experimental group were significantly better than those in the control group (p=0.000). The incidences of urinary leakage and urethral stricture in the experimental group were lower than those in the control group (p<0.05). The Qmax level in the experimental group was higher than that in the control group at six months and two years after surgery, while the FT level was lower than that of the control group (p<0.05).

Conclusion: Microscopic surgery is a method with significant clinical value in the treatment of penile hypospadias.

Background: With the population ageing, more victims of community crime are likely to be older adults. The psychological impact of crime on older victims is significant and sustained, but only feasibility trials have been published regarding potential interventions. The integration of public health and care services and cross-agency working is recommended, but there is little information on how this should be undertaken.

Background: Mycobacterium bovis BCG is the human tuberculosis vaccine and is the oldest vaccine still in use today with over 4 billion people vaccinated since 1921. The BCG vaccine has also been investigated experimentally in cattle and wildlife by various routes including oral and parenteral. Thus far, oral vaccination studies of cattle have involved liquid BCG or liquid BCG incorporated into a lipid matrix.

Objectives: This study aimed to compare the marginal adaptation of a cold ceramic (CC) sealer with the single-cone obturation technique with that of an AH-26 sealer with the lateral compaction technique in single-canal teeth.

Materials And Methods: In this in vitro experimental study, the root canals of 24 extracted single-rooted single-canal teeth were instrumented to F3 files by the crown-down technique and randomly assigned to 2 groups (n = 12). The root canals were obturated with a CC sealer and single-cone obturation technique with 4% gutta-percha in group 1 and with an AH-26 sealer and lateral compaction technique with 2% gutta-percha in group 2.
