Method One hundred and eighty-four patients with BPH were treated by epristeride for 6 months and terazosin for 1 month, the efficacy and complication were observed. Results After 6 months treated, compared with before treated, the common symptoms improved, the residual urine decreased 20.74ml, maximum flow rate increased 3.76 ml/s, prostate volume grown downwards 6.70cm3 and the quality of life raised apparently(Pall＜0.05 ). Condusion Combinationof epristeride and terazosin for treatment of BPH is safe and effective.

Objective:To determine the residual formaldehyde fumigation on the surface of pharmaceutical equipments by AHMT method. Methods:The reaction time of AHMT was controlled in 20 min, the solution with sodium periodate was then shaken for 30 seconds and stood for 30 seconds, and then the absorbance at 550 nm was measured. Results: The linear range of formaldehyde was 0. 250~2. 495 μg·ml-1. The recovery of formaldehyde on glass plate, color steel plate and stainless steel plate was (83. 42 ± 1. 48)%(n=3), (83. 63 ± 1. 94)%(n=3)and (83. 94 ± 2. 28)%(n=3), respectively. Conclusion:The method is proved to be convenient and accurate, and is suitable for the determination of formaldehyde on the surface of pharmaceutical equipments.

Objective To investigate the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokine interferon (IFN)-γand anti-inflammatory cytokine interlenkin (IL)-10 in expressed prostatic secretions (EPS) of chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS) and their clinical significance. Methods The levels of IFN-γ and IL-10 in EPS of 20 patients with CP (type Ⅲ A, group A ), 20 patients with CPPS (type Ⅲ B,group B) and 10 healthy men (control group) were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The results were analyzed comparatively with NIH-chronic prostatitis symptom index (NIH-CPSI).Results The levels of IFN-γ in EPS of group A and group B were ( 14.92 ± 7.85 ), ( 13.74 ± 5.96) ng/L respectively, which were higher than that in control group [(7.47 ± 1.40) ng/L] (P ＜ 0.05 ). And the levels of IL-10 in EPS of group A and group B were (216.40 ± 33.65 ), (223.70 ± 45.21 ) ng/L respectively, which were higher than that in control group [( 162.10 ± 43.81 ) ng/L] ( P ＜ 0.05 ). There was no statistically significant difference between group A and group B. No correlation between NIH-CPSI and IFN- γ,IL-10 levels in EPS(P ＞ 0.05 ). Conclusion IFN-γ and IL-10 have a very important role in etiology of CP/CPPS and they can be the objective parameters in the diagnosis of CP/CPPS.

Objective To compare the effect of using ambroxol hydrochloride combined with co-xuanju capsule,co-xuanju capsule and ambroxol hydroehloride in the treatment of semen liquefaction.Methods Sixty semen liquefaction patients were divided randomly into three groups.Clinical trials involving 20 who received ambroxol hydrochloride+co-xuanju capsule(group A),20 co-xuanju capsule(group B) and 20 ambroxol hydrochloride(group C),were carried out for 3 months.The changes of semen liquefaction time and semen quality were measured and assayed before and after treatment Results Compared withpretherapy,various parameters in the semen quality and semen liquefaction time after treatment all had a significantly difference in every group,and the patients of semen liquefaction time less than 60 minutes were 17 in group A,11 in group B and 14 in group C respectively.The results of semen liquefaction time andsemen quality in group A were significandy higher than the other groups(P<0.05),but the results between group B and group C had no significant difference.Conclusion The combination of ambroxol hydrochlorideand co-xuanju capsule can eridently improve the semen liquefaction time and semen quality and is an effective method in treating male infertility.

Objective To evaluate the effect of a pilot intervention on setting up a hospital-based neonatal resuscitation leading group in 12 hospitals. Methods One provincial-level, two prefecturelevel and one county-level hospitals in Jiangxi, Liaoning and Hunan province were selected to participate in the intervention. A neonatal resuscitation leading group was set up in each hospital to investigate the mode of resuscitation practice training and re-training, improve and carry on the cooperation between obstetricians and pediatricians, record the steps of neonatal resuscitation of asphyxia cases and lead the exploration of the problems occurred during the process in their own hospital. The changes of asphyxia incidence and neonatal resuscitation process were analyzed to evaluate the effect of the intervention. Results (1) Incidence of neonatal asphyxia during intervention period: 315 neonatal asphyxia cases were recorded, among which 89.5 % (n = 282) were mild and 10. 5% (n=33) cases were severe asphyxia. The mean one-minute Apgar score was the lowest in county-level hospitals (5. 40±1.56), followed by provincial-level hospitals (5.63 ±1.67)and prefecture-level hospitals (6.03 ± 1.41). (2) Resuscitation was not performed according to the guidelines in 47. 9% (151/315) of asphyxia cases. Bag and mask ventilation was not performed according to guideline in 36. 5% (115/315) of cases. (3) Changes of asphyxia incidence after the intervention: the incidence of asphyxia in provincial-level (4.23 % vs 2.66 %, χ2 = 5. 021, P＜0.05)and prefecture-level (2.83% vs 1.67%, χ2 = 4. 948, P＜0.05) hospitals decreased significantly after the intervention. The incidence of severe asphyxia in both provincial-level (χ2 =3. 001, P＞0.05) and prefecture-level (χ2= 0. 966, P＞ 0. 05) hospitals decreased with no statistical significance. The asphyxia incidence in county-level hospitals decreased from 2. 48% to 1. 22% (χ2 = 2. 989, P =0. 084). The incidence of severe asphyxia in county-level hospitals decreased from 0.39% to 0. 00%(χ2=2. 567, P= 0. 035). Conclusions Setting up a hospital-based neonatal resuscitation leading group is an effective method to strengthen resuscitation practice training, promote the cooperation between departments, improve the level of neonatal resuscitation practice and therefore decrease the incidence of neonatal asphyxia in the hospital.
