Objective To evaluate the effects of TGF ? 1, EGF, bFGF, KGF on the cell growth of androgen independent prostate cancer cell line PC 3M in vitro. Methods We cultured androgen independent prostate cancer cell line PC 3M in vitro and added TGF ? 1, EGF, bFGF, KGF to the medium at different concentrations of 1, 5,10 and 50 ng/ml. Brdu incorporation method was used to determine the status of cell proliferation. Results The absorbance ( A ) value of the control group PC 3M was 0 759. Seventy two hours after adding the growth factors separately, the inhibition was enhanced with the increasing of concentrations. At the dosage of 50 ng/ml, A value decreased to 0 400(TGF ? 1),0 455(EGF),0 532(bFGF),and 0 491(KGF),respectively, showing significant difference compared to the controls. When the mixture of 1 ng/ml EGF with 0 5 ng/ml or 5 ng/ml TGF ? 1 was added into the medium, A values were 0 522 and 0 299, respectively. Conclusions All these four growth factors inhibited the proliferation of PC 3M cell line in a dose dependent manner. TGF ? 1 and EGF have no interaction to the cell proliferation.

Objective To study the feasibility and efficacy of operative method of maximal thymectomy by video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery(VATS)for myasthenia gravis(MG).Methods From August 2005 to June 2007,27 patients with MG received maximal thymectomy by VATS(VATS group).The thymus and fat tissues in the anterior and upper mediastinum were resected.Patients who received transsternal thymectomy from May 2004 to July 2005 served as a control(conventional group).Results In the VATS group,the maximal thymectomy by VATS was completed in 26 patients,one patient was converted to open surgery because of the injury to the brachiocephalic vein.Compared with the conventional group,the patients in the VATS group had fewer blood loss [(46.0?5.7)ml vs(120.0?18.8)ml,t=-19.231,P=0.000],lower level of analgesic requirement(3 vs 12,?2=7.068,P=0.008),and shorter postoperative hospital stay [(7.0?1.2)d vs(11.0?2.5)d,t=-7.379,P=0.000].There was no significant difference in the operation time,myasthenia gravis crisis,and surgical outcomes between the two groups.Conclusions Maximal thymectomy by VATS is feasible and safe for patients with MG.Patients have shorter hospitalization,less surgical trauma and pain,lower rate of complication,and quicker recovery after the treatment.Further studies are needed to investigate its long-term efficacy

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic and therapeutic status of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in urological outpatients.Methods The survey was conducted at 57 urological clinics in 14 cities during the period of October-December 2011.All surveyed male outpatients were inquired about whether there was a history of LUTS/BPH or not.Then eligible patients received a more detailed questionnaire for LUTS.Results Among a total of 6 200 male outpatients,47.4％ (n =2 940) had a history of LUTS/BPH.The rate for LUTS was 30.0％ (n =882) in patients aged under 40 years and 60.0％ (n =1 764) in those aged over 60 years.The major complains included frequency (72.0％),urgency (53.0％) and nocturia (48.0％).At a rate of 63.0％,the patients aged 71-80 years came more to a hospital for nocturia than 61-70 years (52.0％) and 51-60 years (49.0％).The average International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) was 14.98 (6-35) and 59.0％ patients had moderate symptoms and 26.0％ severe symptoms.The average score of quality-of-life was 4.12 (1-6) points.And the average overactive bladder symptom score (OABSS) was 5.78 (3-15) points and 56.0％ patients had moderate overactive bladder (OAB) and 3.0％ severe OAB.Urinalysis was largely normal.The main causes for LUTS included OAB (25.2％),BPH and OAB (20.4％),BPH (20.2％),prostatis (20.2％) and urinary infection (11.8％).Conclusions LUTS and BPH are common in urological outpatients.And the incidence is rising yearly.Clinical examinations and drug regimens should be timely adjusted according to the etiology.And patient education should be strengthened at the same time.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of Shenshuning Recipe (SSNR) on gene expression of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) in renal tissues in rats with glomerulosclerosis. METHODS: Glomerulosclerosis was induced in 42 rats by unilateral nephrectomy and intravenous injection of doxorubicin. Then these 42 rats were randomly divided into three groups: untreated group, SSNR-treated group and benazepril-treated group. Another eight rats were included into sham-operation group. The rats in the SSNR-treated group and the benazepril-treated group were fed SSNR or benazepril respectively for 8 weeks. The levels of 24 h urine protein (Upr), serum creatinine (Cr) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) of rats in each group were examined. The renal morphological changes were observed under microscope, and the diameter of glomerular capillary, mesangial matrix and glomerulosclerosis index were analyzed by image analysis software. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) method was used to detect the gene expression of HGF in the renal tissues. RESULTS: The levels of 24 h Upr, serum Cr and BUN in the untreated group were remarkably increased than those in the sham-operation group (P<0.01). The pathological morphological changes in the untreated group showed that the glomerulosclerosis was diffused around the renal tissue and the capillaries were shrunk. The expression level of mesangial matrix was up-regulated and the glomerulosclerosis index was 3.32+/-0.35. The expression level of HGF mRNA in the untreated group was obviously lower than that in the sham-operation group (P<0.05). The levels of 24 h Upr, serum Cr and BUN in the SSNR-treated group and the benazepril-treated group were remarkably decreased as compared with those in the untreated group, while the expression levels of HGF mRNA were both obviously higher than that in the untreated group (P<0.01). The pathological morphological changes in the SSNR-treated group and the benazepril-treated group were both alleviated. There was no significant difference in therapeutic effect between the SSNR-treated group and the benazepril-treated group. CONCLUSION: Shenshuning Recipe can up-regulate the expression of HGF mRNA, decrease the mesangial matrix, and improve the renal function, so that it may retard the development of glomerulosclerosis.

The study can provide more sufficient theoretic evidence for the possibility of correlative gene therapy.

Objective To optimize the application of the nested PCR method for the detection of malaria according to the working practice,so as to improve the efficiency of malaria detection. Methods Premixing solution of PCR,internal primers for further amplification and new designed primers that aimed at two Plasmodium ovale subspecies were employed to optimize the reaction system,reaction condition and specific primers of P. ovale on basis of routine nested PCR. Then the specificity and the sensitivity of the optimized method were analyzed. The positive blood samples and examination samples of malaria were detected by the routine nested PCR and the optimized method simultaneously,and the detection results were compared and analyzed. Re-sults The optimized method showed good specificity,and its sensitivity could reach the pg to fg level. The two methods were used to detect the same positive malarial blood samples simultaneously,the results indicated that the PCR products of the two methods had no significant difference,but the non-specific amplification reduced obviously and the detection rates of P. ovale subspecies improved,as well as the total specificity also increased through the use of the optimized method. The actual detection results of 111 cases of malarial blood samples showed that the sensitivity and specificity of the routine nested PCR were 94.57％and 86.96％,respectively,and those of the optimized method were both 93.48％,and there was no statistically significant dif-ference between the two methods in the sensitivity(P>0.05),but there was a statistically significant difference between the two methods in the specificity(P<0.05). Conclusion The optimized PCR can improve the specificity without reducing the sensi-tivity on the basis of the routine nested PCR,it also can save the cost and increase the efficiency of malaria detection as less ex-periment links.
