Acta Anatomica Sinica 1957;0(04):-
Cardiac muscles of mouse embryos, newborn and suckling mice were used for histological and histochemical studies. This paper presents the observations on the morphogenesis and ultrastructure of cardiac myocytes under electron microscope and on their reactions of nucleic acids (DNA and RNA), glycogen, lipids, succinodehydrogenase (SDH), alkaline and acid phosphatases (AKP and AcP), glucose-6-phosphatase (G-6-Pase) and adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) under light microscope.The heart of mouse embryo before 12-day, contained numerous polygonal or star-shaped myoblasts which had not yet acquired myofibrils but a few myofilaments. As the myoblast developed, the number of myofilaments increased in number and formed myofibrils, then the cells became myocytes. By the end of embryonic period, all the special elements of myocyte were basically constituted. The myocytes of embryos were rich in RNA granules, and their DNA was deeply stained. Flourishing mitosis appeared only in the early embryonic phase. RNA of adult myocytes was much less than that of embryos. From the early phase of embryos myocytes were full of glycogen but short of lipid droplets. From the day it was born, glycogen decreased apparently but lipid droplets increased rapidly.The reaction of SDH steadily increased in intensity from its early phase to late one. After birth it became more intensive. G-6-pase first appeared in the myocytes of 14 day's embryos. In the fetal period it showed moderate positive reaction, but in the myocytes of suckling muose it appeared negative. The enzyme showed positive reaction again at the age of 2 weeks. The ATPase reaction was found to be weak in the fetal specimens, only appeared in the endothelium of the capillaries. After birth it gradually became intensive and from the 2nd week positive reaction was obvious in adult, it was very vigorous.The above observations showed that the embryonic development and differentiation were gradually completed. Histological and histochemical features of each developmental period showed their individualities, which confirmed the evidence that the cardiac muscle developed not only successively but also by stages, and approached adult's level at 2nd week end after birth.

Objective To investigate the relationship between benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and urine albumin excretion.Methods A total of 258 male inpatients aged 60 to 70 years were enrolled in this study.According to prostate volume (PV) measured by transrectal ultrasonography,patients were divided into BPH group(PV≥20 ml) and NBPH(non benign prostatic hyperplasia) group(PV<20 ml).Urine albumin and urine creatinine concentrations were measured and urine albumin/creatinine ratio(UACR) was calculated.Fasting blood glucose(FBG) and fasting insulin(FINS) also were measured,insulin resistance index(HOMA-IR) was calculated based on the formula HOMA-IR=ln(FBG × FINS/22.5).The correlation between PV and other indicators were analyzed by Pearson correlation analysis.The risk factors for BPH were analyzed by logistic regression analysis.Results UACR was significantly higher in BPH group than in NBPH group[(163.6± 69.8) mg/g vs.(73.3 ± 55.6) mg/g,t =4.81,P< 0.01],and hypertension duration was longer in BPH group than in NBPH group [(9.2±6.6)years vs.(6.0±3.6)years,t=2.27,P<0.05].The prevalence rate of BPH and PV were increased along with increasing of urine albumin excretion(x2=4.58,F=4.85,respectively,P<0.05 or 0.01).Prostate volume was positively correlated with UACR,HOMA-IR,hypertension duration,body mass index(r=0.248,0.229,0.183,0.157,respectively,all P < 0.05).Logistic regression analysis indicated that UACR,HOMA-IR and hypertension duration were the risk factors for BPH(OR=16.348,1.040,0.166,respectively,all P <0.05).Conclusions BPH is correlated with UACR,which indicates that there is a close relationship between atherosclerosis and BPH.Insulin resistance probably plays an important role in the progression of arteriosclerosis and BPH.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the prevalence of extended-spectrum ?-lactamases (ESBLs) and antibiotic resistance in Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates.METHODS ESBLs-producers were detected by CLSI phenotypic confirmatory test and susceptibilities were tested by agar dilution method.RESULTS 41.1% Of isolates were ESBLs producers in those isolates. ESBLs producers were highly resistant to piperacillin,cefazolin,cefuroxime,fluoroquinolones,chloramphenicol,SMZ-TMP and amikacin. The resistant rate to piperacillin-tazobactam,and ceftazidime was 26.3% and 34.2%. None was resistant to imipenem and meropenem in ESBLs producers. Except for carbapenems,the resistant rate to other antimicrobial agents was significantly higher in ESBLs producers than non ESBLs producers.CONCLUSIONS With resistance to most of antimicrobial agents,ESBLs-producers are highly prevalent in K. pneumoniae isolates,more attention should be paid to monitor these strains.
