Objective To screen and identify the anomously expressed proteins at protein level in colon mucosa of diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome(D-IBS)patients and healthy individuals.Methods Four D-IBS patients and four healthy individuals were included in the study.Biopsies of mucosa at the ileocecal junction and sigmoid colon were performed via colonoscopy.The specimens were cleaned with ice cold saline which contained 0.1% PMSF,and were snap frozen in liquid nitrogen.The two-dimensional gel electrophoresis(2-DE)was used to screen the anomously expressed proteins,and the two proteins which presented the greatest changes in each group were identified by mass spectrometry method.Results Proteomics maps of human colon mucosa were obtained successfully with 2-DE.Average protein spots were 336 in normal control group,and the matching rate among them was 92%,while in D-IBS group,the average protein spots were 426,and the matching rate was 95%.The average matching rate between the test group and the control group was 74%.It was found that the volume value of 24 proteins spots changed more than two folds.The protein expression was found to decrease in 3 spots and increase in 21 spots.Four proteins were chosen for analysis with mass spectrometry analysis.The two up-regulated proteins were identified as Immunoglobulin J chain and heat shock protein 27,while the other two down-regulated proteins were identified as hemoglobin beta subunit and fructose-bisphosphate aldolase A.Conclusion With 2-DE,proteomics maps of human colon mucosa have been obtained successfully.The proteome expressions of colon mucosa in D-IBS patients are remarkably different from that of the healthy individuals.The four identified proteins may play a certain role in the pathogenesis of D-IBS.

Objective To study the therapeutic effect of cardura on lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and ejectile dystunction(ED) in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).Methods One hundred and one cases with BPH and typical LUTS were investigated using the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) and International Index of Erectile Function 5 (IIEF-5)before and after treatment. The patients were given cardura 4 mg, once a day for 8 weeks. The LUTS and ED were was analyzed after treatment. Results The IPSS was scores ( 14.3 ± 4.0) after treatment, and it was lower than before (mean scores: 19.9±6.5, t= 7.534, P＜0.001). The IIEF2-5 was(14.9±8.8)scores after treatment, and it was higher than before (mean scores: 9.5±8. 5, t = 5. 335, P＜ 0. 001 ), respectively. There was statistically significant correlation between IIEF2-5 and IPSS score (r= -0. 327, P＜0. 001 ). Various indexes were significantly improved after cardura treatment as compared with pretreatment (P＜0.001). Conclusions LUTS is dangerous factor for sexual dysdysfunction, and the severity of LUTS is closely related to the development of sexual dysfunction. Cardura can at once improve the sexual function and LUTS of BPH patients.

Objective:To investigate the effects of sleep quality on cognitive function in elderly patients undergoing hemodialysis.Methods:In this cross-sectional study, the cognitive function in hemodialysis patients was evaluated by Montreal Cognitive Assessment(MoCA)and the sleep quality was accessed by Pittsburgh sleep quality index(PSQI). The related indexes of cognitive function were compared and the relationship between cognitive function and sleep quality was analyzed by using multiple binary Logistic regression method.Results:A total of 121 elderly hemodialysis patients aged 67.4±7.2 years with cognitive impairment of 76 cases(62.8%)were included in the study.Numbers(%)of cases with very good, good, general and poor sleep quality were 33(27.3%), 39(32.2%), 14(11.6%)and 35(28.9%), respectively.The proportion of patients with pretty good sleep quality was lower in cognitive impairment group than in normal cognitive group(13/76 or 17.1% vs.20/45 or 44.4%, P<0.001). The proportion of patients with poor sleep quality was higher in cognitive impairment group than in normal cognitive group(29/76 or 38.2% vs.6/45 or 13.3%, P<0.05). Multiple binary Logistic regression analysis showed that age( OR: 1.128, 95% CI: 1.083-1.175, P<0.001), a education level( OR: 0.353, 95% CI: 0.151-0.556, P<0.05), hypertension( OR: 2.508, 95% CI: 1.189-5.291, P<0.05), diabetes( OR: 1.913, 95% CI: 1.045-3.502, P<0.05), stroke( OR: 4.044, 95% CI: 1.439-11.365, P<0.05), dialysis age( OR: 1.016, 95% CI: 1.010-1.023, P<0.001), KT/V( OR: 0.025, 95% CI: 0.005-0.122, P<0.001)and parathormon(iPTH)( OR: 1.002, 95% CI: 1.000-1.003, P<0.05)were associated with cognitive impairment.After adjusting for above factors, sleep quality was also correlated with cognitive impairment( OR: 1.180, 95% CI: 1.108-1.258, P<0.001), showing that the risk of cognitive impairment increased by 1.18 times with every one point increase in PSQI scores. Conclusions:Cognitive impairment is associated with age, education level, hypertension, diabetes, stroke, dialysis age, KT/V and iPTH in elderly hemodialysis patient, and sleep quality is also an independent risk factor for cognitive impairment.
