Objective To study the therapeutic effect of cardura on lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and ejectile dystunction(ED) in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).Methods One hundred and one cases with BPH and typical LUTS were investigated using the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) and International Index of Erectile Function 5 (IIEF-5)before and after treatment. The patients were given cardura 4 mg, once a day for 8 weeks. The LUTS and ED were was analyzed after treatment. Results The IPSS was scores ( 14.3 ± 4.0) after treatment, and it was lower than before (mean scores: 19.9±6.5, t= 7.534, P<0.001). The IIEF2-5 was(14.9±8.8)scores after treatment, and it was higher than before (mean scores: 9.5±8. 5, t = 5. 335, P< 0. 001 ), respectively. There was statistically significant correlation between IIEF2-5 and IPSS score (r= -0. 327, P<0. 001 ). Various indexes were significantly improved after cardura treatment as compared with pretreatment (P<0.001). Conclusions LUTS is dangerous factor for sexual dysdysfunction, and the severity of LUTS is closely related to the development of sexual dysfunction. Cardura can at once improve the sexual function and LUTS of BPH patients.

Objective To study the relationships between cognitive impairment in patients with lacunar infarcts and quantitative CT measures and to determine the independent correlative factors of cognitive impairment. Methods Neuropsychological examination was conducted for 128 patients with acute lacunar infarct. Number, location, and volume of infarcts, cerebral atrophy index and severity of white matter lesions (WMLs) were measured and recorded. Results The number of lacunar infarcts in cognitive impairment (CI) group was significantly larger than that in cognitive normal (CN) group. Mean width of sulcus and sylvian fissure, index of frontal horn and ventricular-brain ratio (VBR) were significantly different in both groups. There were more patients with 3 grades or 4 grades WMLs in CI group (62%) than those in CN group (22%). The total volume of lacunar infarcts showed no statistically significant difference. Logistic regression analysis indicated that the number of lacunar infarcts in frontal subcortex and thalamus, the volume of infarcts in anterior periventricular white matter, width of cerebral sulcus and sylvian fissure were correlated with cognitive impairment respectively. Additionally, age and education were correlative factors of cognitive impairment in patients with lacunar infarct. Conclusion Correlative factors of cognitive impairment in patients with lacunar infarct are not merely one feature, but a combination of infarct features (number, location, and volume), cortical atrophy and host factors (age and education).

Objective To investigate the effects of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) on homing of exogenous bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) after traumatic brain injury (TBI) in rats. Methods BMSCs were isolated and cultured with Ficoll density gradient centrifuga-tion, and the surface markers (CD29, CD90, CD45, CD11b) of the third generation were identified with flow cytometry. The authenticated BM-SCs were processed by the cell membrane fluorescent probe CM-DiI before transplantation. Thirty-six Sprague-Dawley rats were divided in-to Sham group (n=6), TBI group (n=6), BMSCs group (n=12), HBO+BMSCs group (n=12). The number and locations of homing of tracing BMSCs were observed under fluorescent microscope after frozen sections, and the expression of stromal cell-derived factor 1 (SDF-1) and CXC chemokine receptor type 4 (CXCR4) proteins were detected with Western blotting one and three days after BMSCs transplantation. Re-sults The fluorescence-labeled BMSCs focused on the injured hemisphere, especially around the damaged brain tissue. The number of hom-ing was more in HBO+BMSCs group than in BMSCs group at the same time (P<0.01), and increased in both groups three days after trans-plantation compared with those of one day after transplantation (P<0.01). The expression of SDF-1 and CXCR4 protein were more in HBO+BMSCs group than in BMSCs group (P<0.05). Conclusion HBO can promote the exogenous BMSCs homing to damaged brain tissue in rats after traumatic brain injury, which is related to the enhancement of SDF-1/CXCR4 axis.
