Objective:To establish the quality standard system of Gui Erbai gel based on a method ofa system to multiple evalu-ation and discuss the feasibility of the method used for the quality standard for traditional Chinese medicine. Methods:TLC identifi-cation of Gui Erbai gel was established by one thin layer system. An HPLC method was used to detect 6 active components in Gui Erbai gel. Results:Five active components in the gel could be identified by one thin layers system simultaneously with clear spots and good separation. Six active components in the gel could be determined by the same HPLC system with high accuracy. The average content of podophylotoxin,quercetin,kaempferol,imperatorin,dictamnine and rutin is as follows 0. 154,0. 052,0. 138,0. 051,0. 060,0. 048 mg· g-1 . RSD<3％. Conclusion:The established method based on a system to multiple evaluation can be used for the quality standard establishment for Gui Erbai gel with the properties of promising feasibility, simple operation, low cost, high accuracy and good stabili-ty.

Objective:To study the feasibility of transplantation of normal rat penile corpus cavernosum and major pelvic ganglion (MPG)into the renal subserous region of a Nu /Nu mouse based on allograft technology.Methods:Penile corpus cavernosum and MPG,harvested from Sprague-Dawley (SD)rats under sterile condition,were transplanted underneath the kidney capsule of Nu /Nu mice through the mi-crosurgery instruments and surgery microscope.The histopathologic changes and cellular proliferation in the transplanted penile corpus cavernosum and MPG were then analyzed at the end of 1week and 4 weeks after transplantation.Histological staining and immunohistochemical staining were used to evaluate the main outcome measures.Results:After 1 week,the tissue morphology of the transplanted corpus caverno-sum underneath the kidney capsule of Nu /Nu mice was consistent with normal penile corpus cavernosum, and blood could be observed in the penis cavernous sinus of the graft;after 4 weeks,the mophorlogy of the tranplanted corpus cavernosum near the kidney was consistent with normal penile corpus cavernosum, while fibrosis was noteworthy in the graft away from the kidney,but blood could still be seen in the penis cavernous sinus.After 1 week,the tissue morphology of the transplanted MPG was consistent with normal MPG,multiple islet-like cell clusters could be seen in the transplanted MPG in the renal subserous re-gion,and angiogenesis could be observed near the kidney;after 4 weeks,a network of blood vessels was clearly visible away from the kidney,and islet-like cell clusters were still clearly observed in the trans-planted MPG.In addition,ki67 positive cells were observed in the transplanted penile corpus cavernosum and MPG after 4 weeks of transplantation,which indicated that there was still cell proliferation activity in the grafts.Conclusion:The transplanted corpus cavernosum and MPG underneath the kidney capsule of Nu /Nu mice could survive at least 4 weeks.Moreover,the inner structure of the transplanted corpus ca-vernosum and MPG was close to the normal tissue.The underlining mechanism may be related to the lo-cal microenvironment underneath the kidney capsule of Nu /Nu mice and the neovascularization in the transplanted grafts.

Based on the construction and management practice of the morphologic experimental center in Xi'an Medical University, the achievements in laboratory daily operation and institutional man-agement were summarized in the area of lab rules and regulations, instrument and equipment, experiment teaching, lab environment and safety, lab staff administration and so on. The management work has been refined using the practice model of resource sharing, system administration, individual responsibility, and unified staff supervision. The lab rules and responsibilities were also effectively implemented on specific person. Taking the opportunity in teaching evaluation at the experimental center, the lab connotation con-struction was further strengthened. The evaluation system was thoroughly examined in order to look for gaps and promote the lab construction. Further work could be carried out on the laboratory software and hard-ware, such as instrument and equipment update, experimental teaching system reformation in morphology, promotion on multidisciplinary integration and unified management of lab staff.

Although phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors (PDE5Is) are a revolution in the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED) and have been marketed since 1998, they cannot restore pathological changes in the penis. Low-energy shock wave therapy (LESWT) has been developed for treating ED, and clinical studies have shown that LESWT has the potential to affect PDE5I non-responders with ED with few adverse effects. Animal studies have shown that LESWT significantly improves penile hemodynamics and restores pathological changes in the penis of diabetic ED animal models. Although the mechanisms remain to be investigated, recent studies have reported that LESWT could partially restore corpus cavernosum fibromuscular pathological changes, endothelial dysfunction, and peripheral neuropathy. LESWT could be a novel modality for treating ED, and particularly PDE5I non-responders with organic ED, in the near future. However, further extensive evidence-based basic and clinical studies are needed. This review intends to summarize the scientific background underlying the effect of LESWT on ED.
