Article Abstract
Objective: To explore the correlation between the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) syndrome differentiation and urodynamic parameters in benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH).
Methods: Urodynamic examination was conducted for 152 BPH patients, who were divided by TCM syndrome differentiation into seven types, namely, kidney-yin deficiency, kidney-yang deficiency, aqueduct stagnancy, spleen-qi deficiency, lung-heat and qi stagnancy, wetness-heat down-flow and phlegm-wetness stagnancy.
Results: Of the total number of the BPH cases, 71 (46.71%) were differentiated as the type of kidney-yang deficiency, 40 (26.31%) as aqueduct stagnancy, and 14 (9.21%) as kidney-yin deficiency. Fifty-eight cases of Grade III-IV bladder outflow obstruction fell into the type of kidney-yang deficiency, and another 38 cases of the same grade along with 26 cases of Grade V-VI came under the type of aqueduct stagnancy. Of the 12 patients with very weak contractility of detrusor urine, 4 (33.33%) were attributed to the type of kidney-yang deficiency and 7 (58.33%) the type of aqueduct stagnancy. Among the 48 with weak contractility of detrusor urine, 27 (56.25%) fell under the type of kidney-yang deficiency and 17 (35.42%) the type of aqueduct stagnancy.
Conclusion: The TCM syndrome differentiation of BPH is correlated with bladder outflow obstruction and detrusor urine contractility, which has provided corresponding evidence for the quantization and objectification of the TCM syndrome differentiation of BPH.

Muscovy duck reovirus (MDRV) and Novel duck reovirus (NDRV) are highly infectious diseases of waterfowl, causing significant harm to the global poultry industry. Early detection and diagnosis of NDRV and MDRV in clinical samples are crucial for effectively preventing and controlling these diseases. This study developed a duplex crystal digital PCR (dPCR) assay for the differential detection of NDRV and MDRV.

Isolated ectopic secretion of corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) is an exceedingly rare cause of Cushing's syndrome (CS), accounting for fewer than 1% of cases. Ectopic CS is an uncommon but potentially life-threatening condition that often necessitates urgent diagnostic evaluation and treatment. Hormonal testing may suggest a pituitary origin, complicating the diagnostic process.

Harlequin syndrome, also known as differential hypoxia (DH) or North-South syndrome, is a serious complication of femoro-femoral venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-A ECMO). Moreover, Harlequin syndrome is caused by competing flows between the retrograde oxygenated ECMO output and the anterograde ejection of poorly oxygenated blood from the native heart. In the setting of impaired pulmonary gas exchange, the addition of an Impella device (ECPELLA configuration), although beneficial for ventricular unloading and hemodynamic support, may further exacerbate this competition and precipitate DH.

Objective: Sepsis is a common and life-threatening syndrome in intensive care units, frequently accompanied by myocardial dysfunction, which significantly worsens patient outcomes. S100A12, a calcium-binding protein associated with inflammation, is upregulated in various inflammatory conditions. However, its role in sepsis and related cardiac injury remains unclear.

Background: The selection of P2Y12 inhibitors for acute coronary syndrome patients after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) remains controversial among East Asian patients.
Objectives: This study aimed to identify the optimal P2Y12 inhibitor selection for the East Asian population carrying loss-of-function (LOF) alleles based on the Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events (GRACE) score.
Methods: Between March 2016 and March 2019, a cohort of 8683 patients diagnosed with acute coronary syndrome who survived PCI were enrolled in this study.
