Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of α1-adrenergic blockers for treating young men with primary bladder neck obstruction (PBNO). Methods A retrospective review was done of the presenting symptoms and videourodynamic findings of 22 young men younger than 35 years with PBNO. Mean age was 28 years (range 18 to 35). The presenting symptoms were hesitancy in 21 (95%), weak stream in 17(77%), frequency in 16(73%), urgency in 8(36%) and pelvic pain in 6 (27%). Mean symptom duration was 28(3-62)months. A dose of 4 mg Doxazosion was adminis-tered for at least 6 months. International prostate symptom score(IPSS), Quality of life(QOL), uro-flowmetry, post-void residual urine and blood pressure were assessed before and 6 months after medi-cation. Improved urine flow was defined as at least 3 ml. per second increase in the maximum flow rate. Improved symptom was defined as more than a 40% decrease in IPSS. Successful treatment was defined as improved in urine flow and symptoms. Results Follow-up data were available for 21 of 22 patients. The medication period was 8.7±2.5 months and follow-up duration was 12.3±4.9 months. Mean Ⅰ-PSS decreased from 16.9±3.7 to 10.7±4.5. Mean QOL decreased from 4.3±1.2 to 2.5±1.0. Mean maximum flow rate increased from (9.8±3.5)ml to (14.9±3.6)ml. per second. Mean post-void residual urine decreased from (78.2±35.6)ml to (46.5±19.4)ml. There were significant differences(P<0.01). Treatment was successful in 14 patients (67%). Drug tolerability was good. Mean blood pressure was (110.0±7.9)/ (75.0±5.9)mm Hg and (107.0±8.7)/(72.0±7.1)mm Hg before medicine therapy and after 6 months medication(P>0.05). Conclusions Videourody-namics is the diagnostic gold standard of PBNO. In our experience α1-adrenergic blockers are clinically effective therapy and safety for PBNO and have been well tolerated in young male patients.

Objective To analyze the current status and influencing factors of job competence of clinical nursing teachers.
Methods A total of 673 clinical nursing teachers from 35 second-level and above hospitals in Anhui Province were selected as
research subjects using convenient sampling method. Their job competence was evaluated using the Clinical Nursing Teacher
Post Competency Evaluation Scale. Results The score of job competence of clinical nursing teachers was 87.1±9.7. The results
of multiple linear regression analysis showed that with the increase of service length and clinical teaching years,the job
competence score of clinical nursing teachers increased(all P<0.05). For those who thought the higher the satisfaction with the
teaching atmosphere of the hospital,the hospital teaching training can meet their requirements and the higher the willingness to
accept the teaching training,the higher their job competence score(all P<0.05). Conclusion There is still much room for
improvement in job competence of clinical nursing teachers in Anhui Province. The length of service,clinical teaching years,
hospital teaching atmosphere,teaching training meeting demand,and willingness to accept clinical teaching training are the
influencing factors of job competence of clinical nursing teachers.

BACKGROUND:Autologous hamstring Rigidfix and Intrafix has been frequently used to fix and reconstruct anterior cruciate ligament. However, it lacks of evaluation of middle and long period of clinical outcomes. OBJECTIVE:To retrospectively evaluate the medium term clinical outcomes of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with hamstring tendon autograft by Rigidfix and Intrafix. METHODS:The 39 cases of anterior cruciate ligament injury were subjected to anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with hamstring tendon autograft by Rigidfix and Intrafix under arthroscope. They were fol owed up for 2 years or more. The clinical outcomes were evaluated using Lyshlom score scale, IKDC2000 and Tegner score scale. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:In the fol ow-up, IKDC2000 score and Lyshlom score were significantly increased fol owing Rigidfix and Intrafix fixation than before treatment (P<0.01). Results indicate satisfactory clinical outcomes of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with hamstring tendon autograft by Rigidfix and Intrafix. However, long-term fol ow up is needed to verify the feasibility of extensive application.

Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of Solifenacin for the treatment of overactive bladder in children. Methods A retrospective analysis was done in a children admitted to our hospital in January 2010,with lower urinary tract obstruction lead to overactive bladder.The boy was 4 years old,suffering from difficult urinating,urinary frequent,urgency and incontinence for 4 years.Imaging studies (B ultrasound,intravenous urography,CT,bladder voiding urethrography) found bilateral hydronephrosis and kidney collecting system separation with left 3.3 cm and right 2.3 cm in diameter; ureteral dilation with left 1.3 cm,right 1.6 cm in diameter.A transverse septum crossing the urethra at a right angle distal to the verumontanum was detected.According to history,physical examination and imaging examination,a diagnosis for posterior urethral valves was established.Under general anesthesia,urethroscopy found that the valve was attached below urethra wall,divided into two forks towards urethral lateral wall.The valve was excised.Three months later,although good voiding,the hydronephrosis and hydroureter still did not improve.After cystostomy and 6 months follow-up,hydronephrosis and hydroureter still not improved. B ultrasound showed the renal pelvis dilation with left 3.2 cm,right 2.0 cm in diameter,and bilateral ureteral dilation with left 1.3 cm,right 1.4 cm in diameter.Solifenacin (5 mg/tablet),1/3 tablet,about 1.7 mg per day was added. Results After oral Solifenacin one month,hydronephrosis and hydroureter began to improve.After 3 months,hydroureter disappeared; hydronephrosis improved significantly.. B-ultrasound showed the renal collecting system mild dilation with left 1.1 cm,right 1.0 cm in diameter.After 13 months follow-up,no side effects was detected. Conclusions Combined with the surgical treatment,Solifenacin can alleviate hydronephrosis secondary to OAB,and can also protect the renal function.

This study is to explore new lead compounds by inhibition of Pin1 for anticancer therapy using temperature sensitive mutants. As Pin1 is conserved from yeast to human, we established a high-throughput screening method for Pin1 inhibitors, which employed yeast assay. This method led to the identification of one potent hits, 8-11. In vitro, 8-11 inhibited purified Pin1 enzyme activity with IC50 of (10.40 +/- 1.68) micromol x L(-1), induced G1 phase arrest and apoptosis, showed inhibitory effects on a series of cancer cell proliferation, reduced Cyclin D1 expression, was defined as reciprocally matched for protein-ligand complex in virtual docking analysis and reduced cell migration ability. In vivo, we could observe reduction of tumor volume after treatment with 8-11 in xenograft mice compared with vehicle DMSO treatment. Altogether, these results provide for the first time the involvement of 8-11 in the anticancer activity against Pin1.

A sesquiterpene synthase (AsSS4) full-length open reading frame (ORF) cDNA was cloned from wounded stems of Aquilaria sinensis by RT-PCR method. The result showed that the ORF of AsSS4 was 1,698 bp encoding 565 amino acids. Prokaryotic expression vector pET28a-AsSS4 was constructed and transformed into E. coli BL21 (DE3) pLysS. Recombinant AsSS4 protein was obtained after induction by IPTG and SDS-PAGE analysis with a MW of 64 kD. Enzymatic reactions using farnesyl pyrophosphate showed that recombinant AsSS4 protein purified by Ni-agarose gel yielded five sesquiterpene compounds, cyclohexane, 1-ethenyl-1-methyl-2, 4-bis(1-methylethenyl)-, β-elemene, α-guaiene, α-caryophyllene and δ-guaiene. This paper reported the first cloning and functional characterization of AsSS4 gene from A. sinensis, which will establish a foundation for future studies on the molecular mechanisms of wound-induce agarwood formation in A. sinensis
