Journal of Third Military Medical University 2003;0(17):-
Objective To investigate the protective effect of Ca 2+ channal blocker(Verapamil)on the testis following testicular torsion in rats.Methods Forty healthy male Sprague-Danley rats were randomly divided equally into five groups:group A(sham operation),group B1(the left testis underwent 720? positive torsion,2 h later detorsion was performed),group B2(the process as group B1 except at 30 min before detorsion,intraperitoneal injection of physiological saline was performed),group B3(the process as group B1 except at 30 min before detorsion,intraperitoneal injection of 2 mg/kg Verapami was performed),group B4(the left testis underwent 720? positive torsion,and 2 h later the left testis was excised).Five days after operation,the bilateral testes(the right testis in group B4)were extracted and nitric oxide(NO),nitric oxide synthase activity(NOS),total antioxygen capacity(T-AOC)were measured.Results After detorsion,NO and NOS activity increased greatly,T-AOC decreased significantly in bilateral testes,but more obvious in the torsive testis;Verapamil could inhibit the changes.Conclusion The excessive production of NO and the decreased T-AOC may be the main causes of the contralateral testicular injury after unilateral testicular torsion.Verapamil can reduce the testicular injury in bilateral testes after testicular torsion/detorsion in rats.The resection of the torsive testis has protective effect on the contralateral one.

Objective To explore the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)mRNA and protein in endothelia progenitor cells (EPCs) and VEGF in the culture medium and serum of patients during acute period of cerebral hemorrhage associated with hypertension (APCHH). Methods Mononuclear cells from peripheral blood of patients with APCHH ( 16 patients) and hypertension ( 16 patients) were isolated and induced to EPCs. Semi-quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis was performed to assay VEGF mRNA. VEGF protein was assessed by Western blotting. The VEGF protein level in patient's serum and culture medium ( at day 7 ) were assayed using VEGF ELISA Kit and compared between APCHH group and hypertension group. Results Compared with hypertension group, VEGF mRNA (0. 186 ±0. 035 versus 0.090 ±0.031, t =8.318, P <0.0l ) and protein (0. 223 ± 0. 028 versus 0.169 ± 0. 022, t = 3. 744, P < 0. 01 ) expression of EPCs, the concentration of VEGF protein in the supernatant (414 ±37 versus 316 ±29, t =8. 270, P <0. 01 ) and in serum (408 ±49versus 222 ±34, t = 12.406, P <0. 01 ) were all significantly increased in APCHH group. Conclusion The VEGF protein levels in serum of patients and in the culture medium, VEGF mRNA and protein expression in EPCs were all significantly increased during acute periods of cerebral hemorrhage.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect and safety of the clip with the flossmethod during endoscopic submucosal dissection for early gastric angle cancer. Methods A total of 27 gastric angle lesions diagnosed as early gastric cancer were treated by ESD. They were randomized to two groups, routine ESD group and clip with the flossgroup. The procedure time, complication events, en-block resection rate and complete resection rate were compared between the two groups. Also,the learning time was divided to two stages and the learning curve was studied according to the resected specimen areas per minute. Results The en block rate was 85. 7%(12/14) in the routine ESD group and 100. 0%(13/13) in the clip with the floss group. The procedure time in the clip with the flossgroup was significantly less than that in the routine ESD group (the median time 30 min VS 40 min, P =0. 011) . Perforation and the post operative bleeding did not occur in either group. The ESD learning curving during the first learning period and the mean resected specimen (area/min) in theclip with the floss group were larger than routine ESD group(30±6 mm2/min VS 20±5 mm2/min,P=0. 01). However, no difference presented during the second learning period between the two groups. Conclusion Clip with the flossmethod during endoscopic submucosal dissection for early gastric angle cancer as a novel procedure is safe, efficacious and worthy to recommend to beginning learners.

Objective To explore the effects of multiple geriatric syndromes on quality of life in the hospitalized elderly type 2 diabetes. Methods A cross sectional study was carried out in 397 elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus by convenience sampling method. Each subject was assessed for general condition, quality of life as well as chronic pain, chronic constipation, urinary incontinence, high risk of falling, malnutrition, sleep disorder, polypharmacy. The influencing factors of quality of life were analyzed by multiple stepwise regression analysis. Results The patients averagely had 3.23 ± 1.51 geriatric syndromes, and 87.2% (346/397) of them had two or more geriatric syndromes. The average physical component summary of patients was (277.11±64.30) points, and mental component summary was (307.00 ± 60.46) points. The influencing factors of physical component of quality of life were quantity of geriatric syndromes, number of complications and course of disease, while the influencing factors of mental component of quality of life were quantity of geriatric syndromes, number of complications. Conclusions Multiple geriatric syndromes are closely related to the patients′quality of life to a greater degree as demographic factors and condition of diabetes. Nursing staffs should pay attention to the assessment and intervention of multiple geriatric syndromes in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes, so as to improve patients′quality of life effectively.
