The effect of various concentrations of copper and zinc on anoxia-reoxygenation in the neonatal rat heart cell cultures was studied by determining the activity of superoxide dismutasc (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-px), the content of malondialodchyde (MDA) and the release of lactate dehydrogenasc (LDH) The results showed that teh activity of SOD decreased and the activity of GSH-px, the content of MDA and the release of LDH increased following anoxia and reoxygenation. The actiwty or SOD appeared to be increased by either copper or zinc to varying degrees, but the effect of copper showed to be stronger than that of zinc. The release of LDH was reduced at the presence of lower amounts of copper or zinc, but the effect of zinc was better than that of copper. The increased release of LDH occured when higher amounts of copper or zinc were added to the medium. In addition, copper increased the activity of GSH-px while reducing the content of MDA significantly.

ObjectiveTo study the effects and mechanisms of hypoxia-ischemia (HI) on long-term learning and memory abilities and astrocytes in hippocampal formation and the efficacy of nimotop in treating hypoxic-ischemic brain damage. MethodsThe rats were subjected to right common carotid artery ligation followed by exposure to 8% oxygen at 37℃ for 2 h and then 13 rat pups received an introperitoneal injection of nimotop per day immediately following cerebral hypoxia-ischemia for 5 days. When the rats were 80-day-old, they were given test of Y-maze to determine their learning and memory abilities, and then their brain tissues were studied by immunohistochemistry for glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) that marked astrocytes. ResultsThe learning and memory abilities of the HI group were lower than those of the normal control and nimotop treated group (P<0.01), nimotop significantly increased Y-maze learning abilities (P<0.05) of rats received HI, but did not affect their memory abilities. The numerical density of GFAP-positive cells in CA1 radiatum stratum of hippocampal formation were markedly higher in the HI group than those in the other two groups (P<0.01), but the others strata showed no difference. ConclusionHypoxic-ischemic brain damage cause rats to disorders of learning and memory that may be correlated with increase astrocyte in hippocampal formation which became easy to be damaged of declining regulation abilities of neurons microenvironment. Nimotop may be effective to counteract hypoxic-ischemic brain damages.

Objective To assess the clinical characteristics of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) patients and patients's attitude towards BPH and BPH therapy. Methods The question-naires were distributed to 3560 BPH patients throughout the country during the period of Prostate Health Educational Programmer (PHELP). The survey was mainly focused on the questions of patient understanding toward BPH, the preference of treatment and international prostate score scale.Results The evaluations based on 2878 completed patient's questionnaires showed that 86. 0% of patients were diagnosed with moderate or severe low urinary tract syndrome. The main reasons for seek treatment was irritative symptoms (64. 1%), obstructive symptoms ( 41. 7%), physical checkup (41.0%), worry about prostate cancer(14. 5%). Most of patients sought treatment from big hospitals. Most of patients (69.1%) had right understanding towards BPH. Nocturia was the most bothersome of lower urinary tract symptoms(LUTS) suggestive of BPH. Rapid LUTS improvement was the patient's main objective (87.4%). Conclusions Chinese patients did not recognize the complications of BPH progression. Irritative symptoms are the main reasons for seek treatment. Nocturia is most bothersome syndrome, which deteriorates quality of life mostly.
