Objective To evaluate the possible interactions among different impact factors possibly affecting the treatment efficacy of 131I in Graves′ disease (GD). Methods Six hundred and thirty two GD patients that had been treated by 131I, with or without antithyroid drugs (ATD), were included in this study. The impact factors were pre-defined as age (x1), sex (x2), mass of thyroid (x3), course of disease (x4), initial symptom (x5), condition of disease (x6), ATD treatment duration (x7), effective half life time (x8), maximum 131I uptake rate (x9), total dose of 131I (x10), dose of 131I per gram of thyroid (x11), TRAb (x12), TSI (x13), TgAb (x14), and thyroid microsomal antibody(TMAb) level(x15). Interactions among different impact factors were studied by t-test, χ2 test and multi-variant logistic regression. Results Age, mass of thyroid, ATD treatment duration, maximum 131I uptake rate, dose of 131I per gram of thyroid tissue and TSI level were identified as independent impact factors affecting the 131I treatment efficacy on GD (χ2=6.908, t=-4.063, χ2=13.558, t=-2.553, t=4.528, χ2=9.716, all P<0.05) by uni-variant and multi-variate analyses. Loglinear and general linear model analyses showed that there existed multiple multiplicative and additive interactions among the factors of age, mass of thyroid, ATD treatment duration and maximum 131I uptake rate (likelihood χ2=8.176, P>0.05; F=2.928, 1.992, 2.629, 2.215, all P<0.05), which indicated that the treatment efficacy with co-existing multiple factors was not equal to simple summation of single factors. Conclusions The interactions among multiple factors can cause indi-rect effect on 131I treatment, which might guide the prescription of 131I dosage for GD treatment.

OBJECTIVETo study the effective fraction of the extract of seeds of Brassica alba, which inhibits experimental mice prostatic hyperplasia.
METHODAn experimental model of prostatic hyperplasia of castrated male mice induced by testosterone propionate was made. Fractions I, II and III were prepared by extracting the seeds of Brassica alba successively with ether, ethanol and water under reflux. Total extract was prepared by extracting the seeds of Brassica alba with 60% ethanol under reflux. The total extract and the three fractions were used to test the activities.
RESULTTotal extract, fractions I and II could not only significantly inhibit mice prostatic hyperplasia induced by testosterone propionate and activity of serum acid phosphatase, but also decrease wet weight of preputial glands, while fraction III is inactive.
CONCLUSIONExtract from seeds of Brassica alba can significantly inhibit mice prostatic hyperplasia induced by exterior hormone, possessing an activity of anti-androgen. Fractions I and II show an equivalent activity of total extract, which indicate that these fractions contain active components of seeds of Brassica alba which can inhibit prostatic hyperplasia.

·AIM: To investigate the clinical efficacy of intravitreal injection of Ranibizumab and 577nm laser in the treatment of retinal vein occlusion combined with macular edema.·METHODS: Totally 64 patients ( 64 eyes ) with retinal vein occlusion accompanied by macular edema were treated in our hospital from June 2014 to March 2017. Among them, 40 cases ( 40 eyes ) were in the central retinal vein occlusion group, 24 cases (24 eyes) were in the branch retinal vein occlusion group. They were treated with intravitreal injection of ranibizumab 0. 5mg, and the laser photocoagulation of 577nm was performed at 5 to 7d after injection. Meanwhile, 42 patients who did not wish to be treated with injection were treated with laser treatment only. The changes of the indexes before and after treatment were compared.·RESULTS: The average number of blocking group repeated injection of branch retinal vein for 1. 71 ± 0. 79, while the average number of patients with repeated injection of central retinal vein occlusion was 2. 11 ± 0. 80. All patients requiring repeated injections interval was greater than 30d. At 1mo after treatment, there was no patients with decreased visual acuity in branch retinal vein occlusion group, while there were 6 eyes with that in central retinal vein occlusion group, 14 eyes in simply laser group. The mean best corrected visual acuity (LogMAR) of the three groups was 0. 87±0. 60, 0. 57±0. 48 and 0. 54±0. 32, respectively, were significantly lower than that before treatment (1.26±0.53, 0.86±0.39, 0.76±0.26;P< 0. 05 ). The mean macular retinal thickness before treatment was 683.24±211.83, 557.39±128.29 and 545.82± 129. 76μm, were significantly higher than those at the last follow-up 412. 09±257. 38, 356. 29 ± 133. 02 and 322. 78 ± 109. 55μm ( P < 0. 05 ). There were 6 cases of subconjunctival hemorrhage in patients treated with laser therapy combined with laser therapy. The intraocular pressure increased to 25mmHg in 2 eyes in 2 patients and recovered after symptomatic treatment.· CONCLUSION: Intravitreal injection of ranibizumab combined with 577nm laser treatment can greatly enhance the visual acuity, effective decrease macular retinal thickness in patients with retinal vein occlusion and macular edema.

OBJECTIVETo explore the effects of low-dose oral tadalafil on self-esteem, confidence and sexual relationship in ED patients.
METHODSWe treated 17 ED patients with oral tadalafil at the low dose of 5 mg once daily for 12 weeks, and used the paired t test to compare their scores on The Self-Esteem and Relationship Questionnaire (SEAR) and IIEF-5 and the results of nocturnal penile tumescence (NPT) obtained by nocturnal electrobioimpedance volumetric assessment (NEVA) before and after the medication.
RESULTSThe scores on SEAR and IIEF-5 were significantly increased (P < 0.01) and NPT markedly improved (P < 0.05) after tadalafil treatment as compared with the baseline.
CONCLUSIONLow-dose oral tadalafil once daily can significantly improve the self-esteem, confidence, sexual relationship satisfaction and NPT of ED patients.

OBJECTIVEThe ratio of psychological to organic ED changes with aging. This study aimed to analyze the results of nocturnal electrobioimpedance volumetric assessment (NEVA) for ED patients of different age groups and their significance in the diagnosis of ED.
METHODSA total of 83 ED patients were divided into 4 age groups (< or = 29 yr, 30 -39 yr, 40 -49 yr and > or = 50 yr) and detected for nocturnal penile tumescence (NPT) by NEVA.
RESULTSThirty-four of the cases were diagnosed as organic ED, and the other 49 as psychological ED. With the increase of age, the former was increased from 30.3% in the < or = 29 yr group to 60.0% in the > or = 50 yr group, while the latter decreased from 69.7% to 40.0%.
CONCLUSIONThe percentage of organic ED tends to grow with the increase of age, while that of psychological ED is just the opposite.

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of ERK on 17beta-estradiol (E(2)) inhibition of vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) proliferation in rats after vascular injury. Common carotid artery balloon-injury (Inj) model was established in ovariectomized rats (OVX). Female SD rats were randomly divided into 4 groups: OVX, E(2)+OVX, OVX+Inj, and E(2)+OVX+Inj groups. The thickness of the vessels, the plasma content of NO, and the expression of ERK, phosphorylated ERK as well as eNOS protein were measured. The results showed that compared with OVX, the vessel wall was significantly thickened and the plasma content of NO was significantly decreased in OVX+Inj group. E(2) significantly decreased the vessel thickness but increased the plasma NO content after balloon injury. E(2) inhibited the expression of ERK, phosphorylated ERK and induced the eNOS expression. There is a positive correlation between plasma NO content and eNOS protein expression, while there is a negative correlation between plasma NO content and the thickness of vessel. The plasma NO content and the expression of ERK protein were negatively correlated. These results suggest that E(2) increases the vascular eNOS protein expression and NO release, leading to the inhibition of VSMC proliferation after balloon injury by inhibiting the ERK and phosphorylated ERK protein expression.
