ObjectiveTo evaluate the efficacy and safety of tolterodine tartrate in treating patients with early overactive bladder(OAB) symptoms after transurethral resection prostate (TURP).Methods Thirty-one patients who received TURP and were found OAB at recent follow-up were enrolled and divided by random digits table method into study group ( 16 cases) and control group ( 15 cases).The patients in study group were treated with 2 mg tolterodine tartrate twice a day for four weeks,while the changes of OAB in control group were observed.The OAB symptoms score (OABSS),maximum flow rate(Qmax),24 h urination and adverse reactions during the period of medication of two groups before and after treatment were recorded and observed.Results The second evaluation,all the indexes except Qmax in study group improved significantly compared with those of the first evaluation in study group and control group the second evaluation.The indexes included urination times[(6.8 ± 1.0) times vs.( 12.5 ± 1.5) times,(11.8 ± 1.2)times],urgency times[(1.4 ± 1.1) times vs.(4.1 ±2.2) times,(4.1 ±2.3) times],urine volume [(214 ±36) ml vs.( 177 ± 46) ml,( 178 ± 44) ml ],nocturia times [ ( 1.9 ± 0.7) times vs.(2.9 ± 1.3 ) times,(2.8 ±1.4) times ],urge incontinence times [ (0.6 ± 0.5 ) times vs.( 1.6 ± 1.0) times,( 1.5 ± 1.0) times ].OABSS in study group the second evaluation was significantly lower than that in the first evaluation in study group and the second evaluation in control group [ (3.6 ± 1.8 ) scores vs.( 7.6 ± 3.3 ) scores,(7.4 ± 3.2) scores,P ＜ 0.01 or ＜ 0.05 ].There was no statistical significance in all the indexes in control group between the first evaluation and the second evaluation (P ＞ 0.05).There were 2 cases with adverse reactions which performed as dry mouth which could be tolerant.ConclusionTolterodine tartrate is efficient and safe in treating patients with early OAB symptoms after TURP.

Objective To analyze the clinical feature of the patients with anti -N -methyl -D -aspartate receptor (NMDAR)encephalitis and feature of brain MRI and electroencephalogram (EEG)in children.Methods We reviewed the clinical manifestations,brain MRI and EEG features of 10 patients who were diagnosed anti -NMDAR encephalitis.Results Of the 10 patients,3 cases were male and 7 cases were female.The age was ranged from 13 months to 14 years (6 years and 11 months on average).No tumor was found in those patients.Main symp-toms included seizure in 9 cases,psychiatric symptoms in 10 cases,consciousness disturbance in 4 cases,involuntary movements in 8 cases,autonomic nerve instability in 5 cases,and sleep disorders in 10 cases.7 patients of MRI exami-nation were normal,2 patients revealed abnormal signal of temporal lobe,frontal,and parietal cortex.One patient revealed brain atrophy.All patients had abnormal EEG with diffusive slow waves,and some with focal spikes or sharp waves,left side abnormal more than right side.Conclusion Anti -NMDAR encephalitis can be found in children, even young boys may be affected.They have a lower incidence of tumors.Its predominant clinical features are psychi-atrics symptoms,seizures,involuntary movements and consciousness alteration.EEG was considered more significant than brain MRI.

Aim To explore the effect of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) donor on the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis in apolipoprotein E knock out mice (Apo E-/-).Methods 6-week old C57BL/6J and Apo E-/-mice were divided into normal group, Apo E-/-group and Apo E-/-+ sodium hydrosulfide(NaHS)group,with 8 mice in each group. They were fed chow diet until 16-week old. The serum levels of total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein and high density lipoprotein were determined and the changes of atherosclerosis plaque size were observed. Sulfide electrode-based method was used to measure the serum level of H2S.Results The serum levels of total cholesterol[(12.59?3.11 vs 2.32?0.40) ?mol?L-1]and low density lipoprotein[(1.33?0.43 vs 0.13?0.03) ?mol?L-1] in Apo E-/-mice were significantly higher than those in normal group, while the serum levels of high density lipoprotein[(0.45?0.13 vs 1.49?0.21) ?mol?L-1]and H2S in Apo E-/-mice[(44.64?4.52 vs 57.69?7.03) ?mol?L-1]were significantly lower than those in normal group. Meanwhile, the atherosclerosis plaque[(139316.6?30362.93 vs 0) ?m2] was obvious in Apo E-/-mice. After NaHS was administrated, there were no obvious changes in the serum levels of total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein and high density lipoprotein in Apo E-/-mice, while the serum level of H2S[(52.21?7.24 vs 44.64?4.52) ?mol?L-1]increased significantly and the size of atherosclerosis plaque[(85927.84?1922.73 vs 139316.6?30362.93) ?m2]diminished significantly.Conclusions H2S postponed the proceeding of atherosclerosis and diminished the size of atherosclerosis plaque.

NG-nitro-D-arginine (D-NNA) produced pressor responses in rats by acting via chiral inversion intoNG-nitro-L-arginine (L-NNA), an inhibitor of nitro oxide synthase. The present investigation aimed to study the roleof the D-amino acid oxidase (DAAO) in chiral inversion of D-NNA and the relationship between DAAO activitieson various D-amino acids and their inversion rate. Benzoate (400 mg/kg) or creatinine (400 mg/kg), two inhibitorsof DAAO, blocked D-NNA-induced pressor responses in rats. Furthermore, the addition of the pure DAAOsignificantly potentiates L-NNA production rate in kidney homogenates by approximately 2-folds. The in vivo andin vitro results suggested that DAAO plays an essential role in the pressor responses elicited by D-NNA.Moreover, crude DAAO solution from the kidney showed marked selection (the maximal ratio of Kcat/Km wasnearly 15 times) on different D-amino acids that exhibited similar chiral inversion rate in vivo, suggesting that otherenzymes, such as transaminase, are also required for the entire process of D-NNA chiral inversion.

Objective To explore the effect of hydrogen sulfide(H2S) on intercellular adhesion molecule-1(ICAM-1) in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis in apoE knockout(apoE-/-) mice.Methods Six week-old C57BL/6J and apoE-/-mice were divided into control C57BL/6J group,apoE-/-group,apoE-/-+ sodium hydrosulfide(NaHS,a donor of H2S) group and apoE-/-+ DL-propargylglycine(PPG,an inhibitor of H2S synthase).There were 8 mice in each group.They were fed chow diet for 10 weeks.Serum H2S was measured by sulfide electrode-based method,serum ICAM-1 was determined by ELISA.Aortic ICAM-1 mRNA was detected by RT-PCR.The changes of atherosclerosis plaque size were observed by oil red O staining.Results Serum H2Slevel significantly decreased in apoE-/-mice(P
