Objective To explore the expression of connexin 43 in the interstitial cells of Cajal (ICCs) from guinea pig bladder in vitro. Methods Bladder ICCs were primarily cultured from guinea pigs by collagenase digestion method. Primarily cultured bladder smooth muscle cells (SMCs) from guinea pig were taken as control. The expressions of c-kit and smooth muscle actin (SMA) were detected by immunofluorescent method. Immumofluorescent method and Western blotting were used to detect the expression of Connexin 43 in 2 groups of cells. Results The expression of c-kit was positive in ICCs but negative in the control group. On the contrary, the expression of SMA was negative in ICCs but positive in the control group. Connexin 43 expression was significantly higher in ICCs than that in the control group (P

Objective To explore the expression of neuron specific enolase(NSE)and neuronal nitric oxide synthase(nNOS)in the interstitial cells of Cajal(ICCs)in vitro from guinea pigs.Methods The ICCs of bladder were primary cultured from guinea pigs by collagenase digestion.The control group was smooth muscle cell(SMC)of bladder primary cultured from guinea pigs.The expression of c-kit and smooth muscle actin(SMA)were detected by immumofluorescence.RT-PCR and Western blotting were used to detect the mRNA level and protein content of NSE and nNOS at 1,3 and 5 d after primary culture.Results The expression of c-kit was positive in the ICCs of bladder but negative in the control group,while the expression of SMA was negative in the ICCs of bladder but positive in the control group.Both NSE and nNOS of the ICCs of bladder were high in the mRNA and protein content,but were negative in the control group.Conclusion NSE and nNOS were expressed stably in the ICCs of bladder in vitro,indicating that the ICCs of bladder may be involved in the regulation of bladder function.

Objective To explore the distribution of the nociceptive neurons that received inputs from the prostate, bladder, and pelvic floor in the spinal cord. Methods Substance P expression within the dorsal horn of the spinal cord was determined by in situ hybridization after formalin irritation of the prostate, bladder, and superficial muscle of the pelvic floor. Results Formalin irritation of the prostate, bladder, and pelvic floor resulted in similar substance P expression within the dorsal horn of the spinal cord (L_6 to S_1). Conclusion There should be significant overlaps of nociceptive neurons within the spinal cord, which receive nociceptive inputs from the prostate, bladder, and pelvic floor. Pathological changes of the prostate, bladder, and pelvic floor could result in similar pain sensations.

Objective To study the therapeutic effect of resiniferatoxin(RTX)on prostatic pain from chronic prostatitis.Methods Complete Freund's adjuvant(CFA)was injected into rat bilateral ventral prostate to form chronic prostatic inflammation in 15 male SD rats.Two weeks later,RTX was injected into lumbosacral vertebral canal(n=5)or bilateral ventral prostate(n=5).Another 5 SD rats served as normal control.Neuropeptide level and the mRNA expression of substance P(SP)and calcitonin gene-related peptide(CGRP)in lumbosacral spinal cord and dorsal root ganglia(DRG)were measured by immunohistochemistry,radioimmunoassay,and RT-PCR.Results SP and CGRP level and their mRNA expression increased significantly in rat with prostatitis.Neuropeptide level and their mRNA expression were decreased after RTX was injected into vertebral canal and prostate.Conclusion Local injection of RTX can effectively inhibit synthesis and release of SP and CGRP,suggesting that RTX may be helpful to the analgesic therapy of chronic prostatitis.

BACKGROUND: Muscarine receptor plays a key role in adjusting contraction of detrusor muscle cell, and M3R, isoforms of its receptor, can mediate contraction of detrusor muscle cell directly. Ca2+ is the direct factor in stimulating contraction of detrusor muscle cell. Of several 10 kinds of Ca2+conjugable receptors protein, Ca2+ conjugated with different receptor proteins can adjust various reactions.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of Ca2+-calmodulin (Ca2+-CaM) on contraction of M3R-mediated detrusor muscle cell.DESIGN: Compared observation .on the basis of detrusor muscle cell.SETTING: Ourological Center of Southwest Hospital of the Third Military Medical University of Chinese PLA.MATERIALS: The experiment was completed at Central Laboratory of Southwest Hospital of the Third Military Medical University of Chinese PLA. Healthy Wistar rats were selected in this study.METHODS: The primary cultured detrusor muscle cells were divided into experimental group and control group. Cells were inoculated in 6-well plate, and 10-4 mmol/L carbachol and M2R antagonist were added to cells of the experimental group during 70% confluence to block M3R and M2R respectively. Ca2+ concentration and CaM activity were detected by Ca2+ test kit and CaM test kit respectively.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Changes of [Ca2+]I concentration and CaM activity of cells in both groups.RESULTS: The mean channel fluorescence values (log) of [Ca2+]I and CaM were higher in the experimental group than those in the control group(3.26±0.38, 2.06±0.12; 2.87±0.34, 2.14±0.24, P ＜ 0.05).CONCLUSION: Results in this study suggest that Ca2+-CaM participates in adjusting contraction of M3R-mediated detrusor muscle cells through signal transduction.

Objective To investigate the effect of general anesthesia with sevoflurane or intravenous propofol on anesthesia recovery period in obstructive jaundice patients. Methods Thirty ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ and Child A obstructive jaundice patients were randomly divided into two equal groups (n=15 each). The patients in group S received inhalation anesthesia with sevoflurane and those in group P intravenous anesthesia with propofol during operation for obstructive jaundice. The patients were premedicated with intramuscular phenobarbital 100mg and atropine 0.5mg, anesthesia was induced with midazolam 0.05mg/kg, atracurium 0.5mg/kg, propofol 1.5-2.5mg/kg and fentanyl 4μg/kg. Maintained with TCI of propofol (target plasmaconcentration was set at 3.5mg/L) or sevoflurane inhalation (end-tidal sevoflurane concentration was 2%-3%) and intermittent i. v. boluses of fentanyl. EGG, HR, MAP, SpO<,2> and end-tidal sevoflurane concentration were continuously monitored during operation. Duration of anesthesia, the volume of infusion and fentanyl were recorded, awaking time, extubation and regained consciousness after operation were recorded. Results There were no significant differences between the two groups in average age, sex, body-weight, duration of anesthesia, the parameters of MAP and HR (P>0.05). The awaking time was (7.9±1.5) minutes in group S and (26.1±8.8) minutes in group P. The extubation time was (8.5±2.5) minutes in group S and (27.8±11.2) minutes in group P. The regained consciousness time was (13.1±4.4) minutes in group S and (33.7±12.5) minutes in group P. The incidence of lethargy, fidget were higher in group P than those in group S. Conclusion Both sevoflurane and propofol can provide satisfactory anesthesia for the operation of obstructive jaundice, but the recovery of influence caused by sevoflurane is faster and more steady than that caused by propofol.

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics and prognosis of patients with high level of plasma procalcitonin (PCT > 100 μg/L), and to improve the clinician's understanding, diagnosis and treatment of this kind of patients. Methods A retrospective study was conducted. The clinical data of patients with plasma PCT over 100 μg/L within 48 hours of admission admitted to Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine from February 2013 to December 2016 were collected, and the clinical characteristics were analyzed. The patients were divided into survival and death groups according to 28-day prognosis. The general data and laboratory parameters including vital signs, 24-hour urine output, routine blood test, blood biochemical tests, coagulation parameters, myocardial enzymes and arterial blood gas analysis were collected. The risk factors of mortality were analyzed using multi-logistic regression analysis. Results 188 patients with high level of plasma PCT were enrolled. There were 128 male patients (68.1%) with the average age of 62 (49, 75) years. Most patients were admitted in intensive care unit (ICU, 70.7%, 133/188). Major diagnosis was sepsis (91.0%), followed by multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS, 57.4%), post large operation of thorax and abdomen (20.7%), trauma/burns (13.8%) and post-cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR, 6.4%). Of all the 188 patients, 115 patients survived and 73 died with a mortality of 38.8%. The parameters in the death group, including the percentages of MODS (84.9% vs. 40.0%), trauma/burns (26.0% vs. 6.1%), post-CPR (13.7% vs. 1.7%), ventilator support (82.2% vs. 40.9%) and shock (100.0% vs. 60.0%), the numbers of principal diagnosis [2.0 (2.0, 3.0) vs. 2.0 (1.0, 2.0)], acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ score [APACHE Ⅱscore: 24 (19, 28) vs. 14 (10, 16)] and sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score [16.0 (12.5, 18.0) vs. 9.0 (6.0, 12.0)], as well as liver function, coagulation parameters, myocardial enzymes and lactic acid (Lac) levels were significantly higher than those in the survival group, but the platelet (PLT) count in the death group was significantly lower than that in the survival group [×109/L: 62.00 (21.50, 111.00) vs. 93.00 (53.00, 136.00), all P < 0.05]. The parameters with statistical significance in the univariate analysis were enrolled in the multiple factor logistic regression analysis, which showed that patient with a high score of APACHE Ⅱ [odds ratio (OR) = 1.290, 95% confidence interval (95%CI) = 1.121-1.484, P = 0.000] or the occurrence of MODS (OR = 7.264, 95%CI = 1.762-29.941, P = 0.006) at admission had a poor prognosis. Conclusions The primary patients with high levels of plasma PCT (> 100 μg/L) were diagnosed with sepsis, MODS, trauma and post-CPR, complicated with respiratory and circulatory insufficiency. These factors of trauma, MODS and cardiac arrest, and some laboratory parameters including PLT, Lac, liver function, coagulation spectrum, and cardiac enzymes were correlated with the prognosis of the patients with high levels of plasma PCT. High APACHE Ⅱ score and the incidence of MODS might be independent predictors of poor prognosis in the patients with high levels of plasma PCT.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the role and significance of CD45RO in occurance and development in laryngeal squamous carcinoma, and to provide some valuable clues for searching new approaches to assess prognosis and theoretical basis for tumor biotherapy. METHOD: The expression of CD45RO protein in 50 cases of laryngeal squamous carcinoma and 10 cases normal mucos was detected by immunohistochemical S-P method. RESULT: The positive rate of CD45RO was 30% and 86% respectively in normal tissue and laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma tissue. The expresion of CD45RO was significantly and negatively associated with local metastatic of lymph nodes 0.713, P < 0.05) and tumor sites (r = -0.750, P < 0.05), but it have no notable difference with pathology differentiation, age, infiltrating depth and clinical stages in 50 cases of laryngeal squamous cell cancer. CONCLUSION (1) The expresion of CD45RO in laryngeal squamous cell cancer is more than that in normal tissue. (2) It is possible that overexpresion of CD45RO in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma cut local metastatic lymph nodes. (3) It is probable that overexpresion of CD45RO in laryngeal squamous cell cancer made for prognosis of patients. (4) Other than UICC-TNM stage, pathology differentiation, it provide valuable clues for searching new approaches to assess prognosis of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma.
