(man and ram)The interstitial tissue was assessed by both parameters:(A″—A′)/N:ratio of interstitial tissue area and the number of seminiferous tubules;(A″—A′)/A′:ratio of interstitial tissue area and the total cellular area of seminiferous tubules.There is also a siginificant difference between various species for these parameters: the value of guinea pig is the smallest, while the value of swine is the largest.It was proved that the value of (A″—A′)/N of every species is closely related to the value of (A″—A′)/A′, and eight linear regressional equations were established. All these results have provided important data for further study of male reproductive physiology and male contraception research.

Objective To compare the effect of pressure regulated biphasic positive airway pressure ventilation(BiPAP) and airway pressure release ventilation(APRV) on cardiopulmonary function of pigs with or without acute lung injury. Methods after anaesthesia, 18 healthy pigs were given BiPAP or APRV ventilation through tracheotomy. Inspiration pressure and expiration pressure in BiPAP equal to APRV. Inspiration time and expiration time is 1.5/2.5s in BiPAP and 4.0/2.0s, 4.5/1.5s, 5.0/1.0s, 5.5/0.5s in APRV respectively. Respiration dynamics, hemodynamics, blood gases and oxygen metabolize scales were measured during two mechanical ventilatory modalities pigs acquired from Swam-gans catheter in internal jugular vein and from catheter in femoral artery. Then oleic-induced acute lung injury model was made, modalities pigs were distributed to BiPAP group (n=9) and APRV group (n=8) randomly. Forenamed scales were repeat measured. Results BiPAP has not difference with APRV on respiration dynamics, hemodynamics, blood gases and oxygen metabolize during normal condition, BiPAP has higher cardiac output (CO) and lower oxygen extraction ratio (O2ER) compare with APRV in ALI pigs. If expiration time is short to 0.5s in APRV, it would represent intrinsic peak end-expiratory (PEEPi), heart rate (HR), mean pulmonary arterial pressure (MPAP) and systemic vascular resistance (SVR) increased and CO decreased. Conclusion Both BiPAP and APRV are beneficial in ALI, but BiPAP has fewer side-effect compared with APRV in early ALI.

Objective: To study the role of estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) in the formation of cholesterol calculus and investigate the effects of Shengqing CapsuObjective: To observe the effects of Huzhang Gout Granule (HZGG), a compound traditional Chinese herbal medicine, on cyclooxygenase (COX) and 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX) activities, the two important oxidases in the course of inflammation, so as to investigate the possible anti-inflammatory mechanism of HZGG. Methods: After stimulating the blood sample of healthy volunteer with calcium ionophore A23187, concentration of thromboxane B(2) (TXB(2)) in the healthy volunteer's blood was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to observe the effects of HZGG at low- and high-dose on the activity of COX-1, with aspirin as control drug. The concentration of prostaglandin I(2) (PGI(2)) in the healthy volunteer's blood sample, in which aspirin was added to destroy activity of COX-1 beforehand and which was stimulated with lipopolysaccharide, was detected by ELISA method to observe the effects of HZGG on the activity of COX-2, with celecoxib as control drug. In the animal experiment, 40 rats were implanted with sponges soaking in 0.5% arachidonic acid solution in the back to induce inflammatory effusion. Content of leukotriene B4 (LTB4) in the polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) from the inflammatory effusions was detected with reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) to observe the impacts of different doses of HZGG on the activity of 5-LOX, with dexamethasone as control drug. Results: The concentration of TXB(2) in the low-dose HZGG group was higher than those in the high-dose HZGG group and the aspirin group (P<0.05). The concentrations of PGI2 in the low- and high-dose HZGG groups were higher than that in the celecoxib group (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference between the low-dose HZGG group and the high-dose HZGG group (P>0.05). The content of LTB4 in the blank control group was higher than those in the low-dose HZGG group, the high-dose HZGG group or the dexamethasone group (P<0.05) Conclusion:HZGG can reduce the releasing of inflammatory mediators, such as TXB2, PGI2 and LTB4, by inhibiting the activities of COX and 5-LOX.
