1.Nitric oxide synthases in erectile dysfunction
Chinese Journal of Pathophysiology 2000;0(07):-
With the illustration of the L-Arg-NO-cGMP pathway in penile erection,the researches on nitric oxide synthases(NOSs),which produce nitric oxide(NO)as the main messenger to control the process,has stayed in the spotlight.nNOS locates in neuroal tissues and eNOS is binding on the membrane of cavernous sinus endothelium with caveolin.The nNOS & eNOS are expressed constitutively.The activation of nNOS & eNOS is more dependent on Ca2+ concentration than iNOS,which is seldom expressed except in aged or pathological conditions.It is now clear that nNOS may initiate cavernosal tissue relaxation under the regulation of PDZ zone when transcripted,while phosphorylated eNOS may facilitate attainment and maintenance of full erection.iNOS expression stimulated by the cytokines may be beneficial(cytoprotective or anti-fibrotic)or deleterious(cytotoxic)according to the tissue environment.Gene therapies based on NOSs have attained a great deal of achievements in animal experiments and will promise a wonderful future.

Objective To explore the factors imfluencing the prognosis of patients with renal cell carcinoma after laparoscopic partial nephrectomy.Methods Clinical data from 593 renal cell carcinoma patients underwent laparoscopic partial nephrectomy in our institution from December 2010 to December 2015 were retrospectively collected..Tbere were 396 males and 197 females,aged 35 to 72 years old(mean 55.4 years).There were 181 cases of smoking history,206 cases of hypertension and 105 cases of diabetes.Before operation,98 cases of liver function were damaged and 122 cases were anemia.There were 521 cases with PLT < 450 × 109/L,72 cases PLT≥ 450 × 109/L.Thc tumor of 292 cases on the left and 301 cases on the right.The Kaplan-Meier method log-rank test was used for survival analysis.Univariate analysis and factors which were significantly associated with survival in the univariate analysis were conducted into the multivariate analysis with Cox proportional hazards model.Results The operative time was 88.0-120.6 min,mean 104.3 min,the blood loss during operation was 47.2-157.8 ml,mean 102.5 ml. Pathological tumor stage revealed that 398 cases were T1 and 195 cases were T2 . Fuhrman classification revealed that 29 cases were grade Ⅰ,411 cases were grade Ⅱ,150 cases grade Ⅲ,3 cases grade Ⅳ . The median follow-up time was 36 months(ranged 6 to 99 months) . Five cases (1.3%) in the T1 patients relapsed,recurrencefree survival (RFS) rate was 98.7%;In the T2 patients,7 cases (3.6%) relapsed,1 of them had local recurrence and died of lung metastasis,and the RFS rate was 96.4%.Univariate analysis revealed that T stage,Fuhrman grade,tunor necrosis,tumor pseudocapsule,lymphovascular invasion,collection system violation,anemia,and high platelet were significantly associated with RFS of patients.Multivariate analysis found that T stage (HR =1.524,95 % CI 1.326-1.926,P =0.001),Fuhrman grade (HR =1.600,95 % CI 1.035-2.364,P =0.022),tumor necrosis (HR =2.315,95% CI 1.523-3.624,P =0.001) were independent risk factors for the RFS of patients with renal cell carcinoma after retroperitoneal laparoscopic partial nephrectomy.Conclusion High T stage,high Fuhrman grade and tumor necrosis were independent risk factors for the RFS of patients with renal cell carcinoma after retroperitoneal laparoscopic partial nephrectomy.

Since the 1990s, studies on intemet addiction and mobile phone addiction have been concerned.Of which, internet addiction refers to internet surfing via personal computers, and mobile phone addiction is usually set within the phone calls and sending short message.In recent years, the time and frequency people using mobile phones have been increasing rapidly with the popularity of smart phone and the development of mobile Internet.Some severe cases show an excessive use of mobile phone, even dependent or addictive symptoms.These results in a variety of physical, psychological and social problems of the individuals.However, today's mobile phone dependence or addiction is beyond the scope of calling and texting, but more on the use of the network function.So it needs to redefine this behavior addiction and its criteria by combining both internet addiction and cell phone addiction.It is named as mobile internet addiction.The definition would help to study the mechanism of the development of mobile internet addiction, and provide theoretical foundations for developing effective intervention strategies.

Objective To establish and optimize a method to extract and determine rhynchophylline in a traditional Chinese herb,Ramulus Uncariae cum Uncis. Methods Cold maceration with methanol and supersonic extraction was used to treat the medical material. Chromatography was performed on a Diamonsil C18 column (250 mm?4.6 mm,5 ?m). Gradient elution was employed with a mobile phase consisting of methanol (solution A) and ammonium acetate buffer (0.01 mol/L,pH 6.0 adjusted by ammoniae aqua,solution B) as follows: A∶B from 25∶75 to 50∶50 from 0 to 20 min. The flow rate of the mobile phase was 1.0 ml/min and the column was maintained at 20 ℃. The detector was monitored at 245 nm. Results The calibration curve was linear among the concentration range of 0.25 to 64.0 ?g/ml (y=3.64?104x-2.13?104,r=0.999 5) and the relative recovery ranged from 95.95% to 114.4%. The relative standard deviation (RSD) of the reproducibility test was 6.50% and of the stability test was 4.62%,2.65% and 4.58% from the high density to the low. Conclusion Our method is accurate,reliable and with good reproducibility,and it can be used for determining rhynchophylline in Ramulus Uncariae cum Uncis.

The expression of silence of death domains (SODD) and its clinical significance and relationship with phospho-NF-kappaB-p65 proteins in bone marrow cells of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) were explored, and the expression of SODD and phospho-NF-kappaB-p65 in Jurkat cells treated with chemotherapeutic drugs was detected in order to find a new chemotherapeutic target. The expression of SODD and phospho-NF-kappaB-p65 proteins in bone marrow cells was detected by immunohistochemistry in 25 children with ALL. The apoptosis rate was measured by Annexin-V-Fluorescence/PI double-labeling flow cytometry and the expression of SODD and phospho-NF-kappaB-p65 proteins determined by Western blotting in the Jurkat cells. It was found that the expression of SODD and active P65 in ALL was significantly higher than that in normal control group (P<0.05). The expression of the SODD and phospho-NF-kappaB-p65 proteins in the high-risk (HR) group was significantly higher than that in the standard-risk (SR) group (P<0.05). The Pearson rank correlation analysis revealed that there was a positive correlation between SODD and phospho-NF-kappaB-p65 expression (P<0.01, r=0.69). VCR could effectively induce the apoptosis of Jurkat cells, and down-regulate the expression of SODD and phospho-NF-kappaB-p65 proteins in a time-dependent manner, but DNR could not down-regulate the expression of SODD effectively. It was concluded that SODD may be closely related to the clinical classification and prognosis of ALL in children. The expression of SODD and phospho-NF-kappaB-p65 had a definite synergistic relationship with the onset and development of ALL. VCR could down-regulate the expression of SODD and inhibit the NF-kappaB activation, which could recover the sensibility of apoptosis in leukemic cells.

A method for the determination of decabrominated diphenyl ether(decaBDE) in sediment samples at trace level using dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction based on the solidification of floating organic drop (DLLME-SFO) and high performance liquid chromatography-ultraviolet detector (HPLC-UV) has developed.Based on the data of interactive orthogonal array design, the optimization experimental conditions were obtained with BP artificial neural network model: 1.00 mL methanol as dispersive solvent, 35.0 μL dodecanol as extractive solvent, 10.00% NaCl, pH 5, and extraction in 10 min.The extraction recovery (ER) was 62.22% at the extraction conditions.The proposed method exhibited a wide linear range(3.5-1400 ng/g) with R~2 =0.9921.The limit of detection (LOD) and the limit of quantification (LOQ) of this method were 2.3 pg/g(S/N =2) and 5.6 pg/g(S/N = 5), respectively.The recoveries of real samples at different spiking levels of decaBDE were 104.2%, 98.4% and 97.7%, respectively.Extraction, concentration and separation procedures for decaBDE from the sediment sample were carried out by one step, and hence, the process of DLLME-SFO for decaBDE was shortened.
