BACKGROUND:The patients with neurogenic urinary incontinence could be cured to restore their urinary storage function through the implant of the suburethral sling made of appropriate materials in a reasonable way. Meanwhile the choice of materials and the safe and effective control of tension are crucial factors. OBJECTIVE:To review the implanted methods, effectiveness and safety of sling made of different materials in the surgical treatment of neurogenic stress urinary incontinence. METHODS:The PubMed database, English database, CNKI database and related English books were retrieved with computer from January 1986 to January 2012 for the articles on the urethral sling material, urethral sling placement methods, efficacy and safety. The key words were“urethral sling, neurogenic, urinary incontinence”in English and Chinese. Final y, 47 articles were included for review according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Urethral sling is a safe, handy, and micro-invasive operation, by using autologous fascia or various synthetic materials to implant into the body. The mechanism of neurogenic urinary incontinence is mainly related with the change of bladder function or the insufficiency of urethral sphincter function. However, it is stil a big problem for us to assure the postoperative ability of such patients to store and control urine because of their complicated conditions.

Objective To study the relativity between serum vascular endothelial growth factor(sVEGF),its receptors(sVEGFR1 and sVEGFR2) and uterine myoma. Methods Thirty hospitalized patients with uterine myoma were chosen as the study group and the other healthy women of the same age as control group.The levels of sVEGF,sVEGFR1 and sVEGFR2 of the two groups were determined by using ELISA technology. Results The levels of sVEGF and sVEGFR2 in the study group were much higher than in the control group(P0.05).The levels of sVEGF and sVEGFR2 in women with myoma had no differences during the menstrual cycle.The level of sVEGFR2 was correlated with the number of myoma(P

Prostate cancer, bladder cancer, and rectal cancer are common malignancies in the male pelvis. The incidence rate of erectile dysfunction (ED) following radical prostatectomy, cystectomy or rectal cancer surgery is about 25% - 100%. The main cause of post-surgery ED is mainly attributed to injury of neurovascular bundles, which may lead to reduced oxygenation in and fibrosis of the penile tissue. Early penile rehabilitation after surgery can improve or restore the erectile function of the patients. This article focuses on penile rehabilitation after radical pelvic surgery.

Objective To investigate the correlation of dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) MRI features with microvessel density (MVD) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC).Methods Conventional MR imaging and dynamic contrast-enhanced scan in thirty-three patients with NSCLC confirmed by pathologyn were performed. MVD and VEGF were stained with immuno-histochemical technique in all cases. Some parameters of DCE MRI, including maximum slope(Smax) and time to peak(TTP) were put more analysis. The relationship between the results of DCE MRI (Smax and TTP) and that of immuno-histochemistry (MVD and VEGF) was analysed.Results The Smax of adeno carcinoma was higher than that of squamous cell carcinoma,but TTP was lower. The difference was obvious difference(t=3.22,P

In order to increase the production of insecticidal crystal proteins Cry1 and Cry2, firstly, Plack-ett-Burman design was applied to evaluate the effectiveness of the related nutrition factors; it was found that the soybean powder and MnSO4?H2O were significant factors for Cry1 production, but the yield of Cry2 wasn’t effected remarkably in such medium. Then the steepest ascent experiment was adopted to approach the optimal region of the medium composition. Lastly, the optimal concentration of the soybean powder and MnSO4?H2O was 11.5 and 0.02 g/L, obtained by response surface methodology (RSM). The final yields of Cry1 and Cry2 was 0.32 mg/mL and 0.11 mg/mL, increasing twice more than that in the medium optimized before. The median lethal concentration (LC50) of optimal medium was 1.09 ?L/mL. The toxicity to Heli-coverpa armigera was significantly enhanced than the old one.

The effects of Guizhi Fuling capsule and its active ingredient combination within different concentration on SPL proliferate were observed by MTT method. The ratio of CD80/86, CD3CD25 and CD3CD69 was used to evaluate cell activation effects of Guizhi Fuling capsule and its active ingredient combination by FCM. Guizhi Fuling capsule with concentration of 400 mg · L(-1)can promote spleen lymphocyte proliferation, as well as the active ingredient combination, which showed the obvious dose-effect relationship. Compared with control group, the difference has statistical significance (P≤0.01). The result of FCM showed that Guizhi Fuling capsule and its active ingredient combination can promote CD80 and CD86 expression on spleen lymphocyte, and also can increase CD25 and CD69 ratio between spleen CD3+ cells. Compared with control group, the difference has statistical significance (P≤0.01). Thus, Guizhi Fuling capsule and its active ingredient combination may have immune-modulate effects, and the mechanism may have a close relationship with the lymphocyte activation.

This study examined the promoter methylation of APO-1/CD95 (Fas) gene in bladder urothelial carcinoma and analyzed the relationship between the Fas promoter methylation and the biological behavior of bladder cancer. Promoter methylation of Fas gene was detected by methylation-specific PCR (MSP) in 4 bladder cancer cell lines, 50 human bladder urothelial carcinoma samples and l0 normal bladder tissue samples. Correlation of the aberrant methylation of Fas promoter with the clinicopathological parameters was statistically analyzed. The results showed that Fas was down-regulated at both mRNA and protein level in bladder cancer cell lines and tissue samples of bladder urothelial carcinoma. The positive rate of Fas protein expression in bladder urothelial carcinoma was 34.0% (17/50), significantly lower than that in normal bladder tissues (70.0%, 7/10) (P<0.01). Fas promoter methylation was detected, and the positive rate of Fas promoter methylation in bladder urothelial carcinoma was 42.0% (21/50), which was obviously higher than that in normal bladder tissues (0.0%, 0/10) (P<0.01). The aberrant methylation of Fas promoter was reversely correlated with Fas protein expression (P<0.05). Furthermore, the positive rates of Fas promoter methylation in high-grade and low-grade bladder urothelial carcinoma were 73.3% (11/15) and 34.2% (12/35), respectively, with significant difference shown (P<0.05). No statistical significance was found in the Fas promoter methylation among different clinical stages of bladder cancer. It was concluded that Fas promoter hypermethylation plays an important role in the pathogenesis of bladder urothelial carcinoma and may serve as a prognostic indicator of bladder urothelial carcinoma.
