Female stress urinary incontinence (FSUI) is a common disease of women in department of urology, which severely affects elderly physical and mental health of women. The molecular mechanism of FSUI is still unclear. Nitric oxide synthase (NOS), cyclooxygenase (COX) and their respective products nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandin (PG) are closely related with FSUI. In this paper, the distribution of NOS and COX in female lower urinary tract and the research development of NOS, COX and their products with FSUI are summarized.

Current concerns for the diagnosis of functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs) in clinical practice is reviewed in this paper.They include the principle to exclude the organic diseases,a full recognition of subtype classification and the severity degrees in guiding the treatment,role of gastrointestinal function examination in diagnosis and treatment,influence of psychological factors on disease,and the overlapping phenomenon of functional disease with organic diseases.

Multiple myeloma (MM) is malignant plasma cell clonal disease.Autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) strengthen the advantages of the high-dose chemotherapy in treatment of MM,which achieves long-term survival in some patients.Even in the era of targeted novel agents,ASCT can still obviously increase the response rate of treatment.To improve the therapeutic efficacy,targeted novel agents were administrated before and after ASCT.However,targeted novel agents still cannot replace ASCT therapy in the treatment of MM.The direction of future research is to find more reasonable,effective and low toxic treatment.

Spermatogenesis is a complex process. Current knowledge about human spermatogenesis is mainly based on the mouse model while little is known about the initial stage of this fundamental process in humans. The establishment of the model of spermatogenesis in vitro may contribute to an overall understanding of male germ cell development, an insight into the mechanisms of infertility, and clinical management of male infertility. This review summarizes current knowledge about the generation of germ cell-like cells from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) in vitro and discusses the potential application of iPSCs in the treatment of male infertility.

Objective To study the clinical significance of detection of infectivity index in patients before transfusion. Methods A total of 12 863 patients in hospital were examined for hepatitis B virus surface antigen(HBsAg),anti-hepatitis C virus(anti-HCV),anti-AIDS virus(anti-HIV)and treponemiasis test(TRUST)before operation and transfusion. Results The positive rates of HBsAg,anti-HCV,anti-HIV and TRUST were 12.59%,1.90%,0.02%and 0.80%respectively.Conclusion The detection of infectivity index before transfusion has a very,important role in the prevention of blood transmissible disease and reduction or medical treatment dispute caused by infection after transfusion.

Objective To investigate the nursing intervention of pregnant women with antiphespholipid syndrome(APS). Methods In experimental group 40 cases with APS positive and control group 40 cases with APS ACA-negative for comparison. Results The abortion occurred in 6 cases(15. 0%) ,2 cases of stillbirth(5.0%) ,loss of pregnancy(abortion+stillbirth) 8 cases (20. 0%) in experimental group. The abortion occurred in 2 cases (5.0%), no stillbirth in control group. The loss of pregnancy in experimental group were significantly higher than the control group (X2=9. 54, P＜0. 005 ). The rate of positive in ACA-IgG (40. 0%) after treatment lower than before treatment (52. 5 %) (X2 = 3.85, P＜0. 05). The rate of positive in ACA IgM (37. 5%) after treatment lower than before treatment(40. 0)% (X2=3.81 ,P＜0. 05 ). Conclusion The APS positive rate and the loss of pregnancy were closely related. The overall nursing intervention conld improve efficacy and reduce the complications.

Objective To investigate the efficacy to pregnant outcoule with antieardiolipin antibody(ACA) of qualitative and quantitative before treatment and after treatment in women pregnant with antiphospho-lipid syndrome (APS).Methods The heparin combined with aspirin therapy APS 40 patients before and after treatment to momtor the change of ACAIgG,IgM.Results 40 patients were treated 37 eases of live births,success rate were92.5%,the rate of pregnancy loss were3 cases(7.5%);The lever of ACA-IgG and ACA-IgM were(67.63±2.53)u and (49.40±3.64)u beforetreatment andlever of ACA-IgG and ACA-IgM were(23.87±1.54)u and(21.60±2.59)u after treatment.The lever after treatment were significandy Iower than the before treatment(P＜0.01);The level of ACA were overall downward in 40 cases after treatment by dynamic observation;The rate of positive in ACAIgG (40.0)% after treatment lower than before treatment(52.5)%(X2=3.85,P＜0.05);The rate of positive in ACA IgM(37.5)% after treatment lower than before treatment(47.5)%(X2=3.81,P＜0.05).Conclusion Hepfinar treatment combined with aspirinmay be a safe and effective method for patients with APS.

Objective To investigate the effects of propofol on lung nitric oxide synthase (NOS) in rats and the mechanism of its pulmonary artery and bronchus dilating effects. Methods Forty SD rats weighing (210+40)g were randomly divided into two groups: propofol group received propofol 100mg-kg-1 ip and when its righting reflex was lost propofol was continuously infused at 10mg'kg-1 h-1 through the vein in the tail for 10min, then the animal was killed; control group received normal saline 10 ml'kg-1 ip and the animals were killed 20 min later. After sacrificing the animals the chest was opened and the lungs were removed. The NO level in the broncho-alveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was measured in 10 animals. NOS activity and NO content of the lung tissue homogenate were examined in 10 animals. Cellular distribution and expression of endothelial NOS (eNOS) and neural NOS (nNOS) in the lung were examined by immunohistochemistry in 5 animals. Results The NO level in BALF, NO content and NOS activity in the lung homogenate were significantly higher in propofol group than those in control group (P

Objective To study the clinical and genetic features of Huntington's disease (HD). Methods The data of clinical information and heredity in 28 patients with HD from 6 Chinese families were analyzed retrospectively. Results There were 28 patients in 6 pedigrees, including 15 males and 13 females. The onset age of all patients was 26～72 years old and the course of disease was variable from 6 years to more than 20 years, and there were 6 gene carriers, including 2 males and 4 females. These patients mainly appeared progressively chorea movement, with mental abnormalities (3 cases), dementia (1 case),ataxia (3 cases), dysarthria and dysphay in late stag (10 cases). Brain MRS of one gene carrier demonstrated significant Lac inversion hump in bilateral lenticular nucleus. Six pedigrees showed autosomal dominant inheritance. HD patients and gene carriers had an abnormal expansion of CAG (n≥37). Moreover, in 4 pedigrees, the onset age was earlier in the subsequent generations. Conclusions HD is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disorder with genetic anticipation and diversified clinical presentations. The (CAG)n expansion at the IT15 gene is the disease-causing mutation in the six pedigrees.
