Objective To explore the features of transsphenoidal microsurgical treatment of male pro- lactinoma and to evaluate the sexual function before and after transsphenoidal microsurgery.Methods A se- ries of 23 cases male prolactinoma were analysed combined with retrospective and prospective study.9 casese with sexual disfunction had finished the International Index of Erectile Function with 15-item questionnnaire (ⅡEF-15) before and after the surgery.Results 8/10 cases treated with dopaminergic agonist combined with surgery achieved complete remission,while only 4/13 cases achieved complete remission with surgery on- ly(x~2=5.490,P=0.036).Aecoding toⅡEF-15,sexual function improved after surgery in 9 cases(paired- sample) t test,P<0.05).Conclusion Transsphenoidal microsurgical treatment of prolactinoma may im- prove the male sexual functions.Dopaminergic agonist combined transsphenoidal microsurgery may achieve a better outcome.

Objective To investigate the expression and significance of transforming growth factor beta receptors (TGF?RⅠ, TGF?RⅡ) in basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. Methods The expression of TGF?RⅠand TGF?RⅡwere assessed by quantitative real-time PCR and streptavidin -peroxidase (SP) immunohistochemical techniques in specimens of basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and normal control skin. Results Eighteen patients with basal cell carcinoma and twenty-four with squamous cell carcinoma were enrolled in the study. The expression levels of TGF?RⅠand RⅡmRNA were significantly down-regulated in basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma in comparison with those in control skin specimens (P

Objective To investigate the expression and significance of Smad 7,Smurf 1 and Smurf 2 in basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma.Methods Biopsy specimens were resected from 14 patients with basal cell carcinoma,19 patients with squamous cell carcinoma and 30 normal controls.Quanti- tative real-time PCR and immunohistochemical techniques were utilized to assess the expression of Smad 7, Smurf 1 and Smurf 2 in these specimens.Results The gray scale for staining of Smad 7,Smurf 1 and Smurf 2 was 166.61?7.11,166.08?8.71,and 166.25?8.15 respectively in basal cell carcinoma,161.66?5.52,166.84?9.27,and 169.98?9.48 respectively in squamous cell carcinoma.The expression levels of Smad 7,Smurf 1 and Smurf 2 were all significantly increased in basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell car- cinoma in comparison with normal controls.Conclusions The over-expression of Smad 7,Smurf 1 and Smurf 2 may interfere with transforming growth factor?signaling transduction pathway through several links,therefore prevent the inhibitory effect of transforming growth factor?on epidermal proliferation,and accelerate the abnormal proliferation in above epidermal tumors.

OBJECTIVETo study the nosocomial fungal infections in the patient with severe hepatitis and analyze of risk factor.
METHODSAll 115 severe hepatitis with fungal infections inpatients was studied prospectively.
RESULTSWe identified 115 cases with fungal infections, the mean age of patients was 37.2+/-21.5 years, male: 49 cases, female 66 cases. Infection of abdominal cavity accounted for 40.9%, infectious rate in respiratory tract and digestive tract were 26.9%, 21.8%, respectively. Candida albicans accounted for 67.6%. Use of broad-spectrum antibiotic and corticosteroids, neutropenia, severity of liver disease, improper medical manipulations as significant risk factors for fungal infection. Death rate of study group and control group was 59.1%, 34.8%, respectively (x2=36.0). In multivariate analysis, neutropenia, disseminated infection and severity of liver diseases were independent prognostic factors.
CONCLUSIONIdentification of risk factors and predictors of a poor outcome in patients with severe hepatitis with fungal infections, it suggested that implications in prophylaxis of fungal infection, early diagnosis and appropriate therapy would be important for these patients.

Objective To evaluate prourodynamic study and somatosensory evoked potentials(SEPs)before and after operation of children with lipomyelomeningocele(LMMC)and its clinical significance.Methods Urodynamic study(UDS)and SEPs in 31 cases of LMMC who underwent microsurgical release within 1 week preoperatively and 3 months postoperatively were conducted.The 4 parameters used for UDS evaluation were bladder volume,compliance,detrusor activity and residual urine;parameters used for SEPs evaluation were latent period and amplitude.Results There was a statistics significant difference between operation and control group;the similar result was attented in the comparison of before and after operation,also in the comprison of the improved group and the group without improvement after operation.Conclusions UDS and SEPs investigation can provide guidance for the treatment of tethered cord syndrome(TCS)and evaluate clinical prognosis.These cases with the severity changing in UDS and somatosensory shall be avoided unnecessary action in operation.

OBJECTIVETo study the clinicopathological characteristics of papillary cystadenoma of the epididymis.
METHODSUsing routine pathology and immunohistochemistry, we observed the surgically obtained samples from 2 cases of papillary cystadenoma of the epididymis, analyzed their pathological features and clinical presentations, and reviewed the related literature.
RESULTSThe 2 patients were both adult males. The tumors typically manifested as painless swelling in the epididymis, with occasionally dull pain and tenesmus in 1 of the cases. Pathologically, the lesions exhibited three morphological features, i. e., dilated ducts and small cysts surrounded by fibrous connective tissue, adenoid papillary hyperplasia into the cysts embraced by fibrovascular stroma, and acidophil substance present in the cysts. Immunohistochemistry showed that the tumors were strongly positive for CK8/18, CK7, and EMA, but negative for CK20, CEA, MC, Calretenin, P53, P63, SMA, VHL, and CD10, with the positive rate of Ki-67 <1%. Follow-up visits revealed good prognosis in both cases.
CONCLUSIONPapillary cystadenoma of the epididymis is a rare benign tumor in the male urogenital system, which may be accompanied by the VHL syndrome. Surgery is the first choice for its treatment.

OBJECTIVETo explore the effect of 5-HT2A-receptors coupled with superoxide anion (O2-) on respiratory regulation signal transductionin passageway in the medial area of nucleus retrofacialis (mNRF).
METHODSmNRF island was prepared from medullary slices of neonatal SD rats according to Johnson's method and transferred separately into 24-well culture plates with reagents according to protocol, followed by incubation for 60 min at 37 degrees C in a humidified incubator with 5% CO2. Absorbance of 100 microl supernatant was measured by spectrophotometry at 550 nm and the effect of 5-HT and 2,5-dimethoxy-4-iodoamphetamine hydrochloride (DOI, agonist of 5-HT2A-receptors) on O2- generation in the mNRF was observed, along with the inhibition of this effect by ketanserin (antagonist of 5-HT2A-receptors) and alpha-lipoic acid (alpha-LA, a antioxidant).
RESULTS5-HT concentration-response curve demonstrated that absorbance peak occurred at 1 micromol/L without further increment with higher concentration. DOI concentration-response curve showed the absorbance peak at 20 micromol/L without further increment. 5-HT and DOI significantly increased the absorbance with comparable effects. Ketanserin and alpha-LA significantly decreased the absorbance generated by 5-HT and DOI.
CONCLUSIONActivation of 5-HT2A receptors results in obvious O2- production in mNRF, suggesting that 5-HT2A receptors regulate respiratory function in association with O2-.
