To determine the effects of long term captopril administration on cardiacmorphology and left ventricular function in rats with myocardial infarction, captopril wasadministered to rats 3 days after the begining of myocardial infarction and continued for35 days. Captopril lowened the ratio of left ventricular weight to body weight of bothrats with and without infarction, and also reduced volume, length and dimention of myo-cyte. Captopril had special effects on ventricular geometry in rats with infarction, whichresulted in decreased radius of left ventricular cavity. The cardiac index of captopril-treatedrats with infarction during baseline and a volume loading didn’t change, whereas the ra-dius of left ventricular cavity and LVEDP were decreased significantly, which indicated anincrease of the ejection fraction index. The results showed that long term administrationof captopril might be unfavoralle to compensary myocardial hypertrophy, but catdiacfunction was improved, which was ascribed to reduction of left ventricular cavity volumeand LVEDP.

Objective To investigate the feasibility of repairing surgically ablated cavernous nerves with silastic nerve tube conduit filled with nerve growth enhancing media. Methods 54 male adult Sprague-Dawley rats were randomized into 3 groups,the sham operated controls,the bilateral cavernous nerve ablation and entubulization nerve reconstruction with insulin like growth factor(IGF).1,3 and 6 months after surgery,rats models were evaluated with apomorphine test,followed by nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) diaphorase staining to identify NOS in penile nerve fibers of the proxiamal portion of penile shaft and penile crus. Results There was no statistically significant difference between the ablated and the entubulization nerve reconstruction groups at 1 month,however,at 3 and 6 months,Apomorphine test studies resulted in tumescence from 42% and 50% of the entubulization nerve reconstruction groups versus 0% and 0% of the ablated group,respectively (P

Objective To study clinical curative effect and complications of modified laparoscopic sacral colpopexy and evaluate the efficacy and safety of this procedure in treatment of pelvic organ prolapse (POP).Methods From Jan.2008 to Sept.2012,66 patients who had undergone modified laparoscopic sacral colpopexy for POP in the first affiliated hospital of Guangzhou medical university were studied retrospectively.Primary outcomes were assessed with POP quantitation (POP-Q) system that was measured before or after operation respectively to evaluate the objective cure rate and recurrence rate.Secondary outcomes were measured by the pelvic floor distress inventory short form (PFDI-20) to evaluate the subjective cure rate,as well as to evaluate the improvement of postoperative lower urinary tract symptoms.Results Sixty-three patients were followed up for 6 to 57 months,and the median follow-up time was 16 months,the overall objective cure rate was 95％ (60/63).Postoperative each indicator point was reset anatomically according to POP-Q,the overall objective cure rate was 90％ (57/63),and the total recurrence rate was 10％ (6/63).The median postoperative vaginal length was slightly shortened than preoperative length[7.5 cm versus 8.0 cm,P ＜ 0.01]; the median score of postoperative PFDI-20 was obviously improved compared to the preoperative (21 versus 75 scores,P ＜ 0.05) ; there was no statistically significant difference in POP-Q staging and questionnaire score at more than 3 years,＞ 2-≤ 3 years,＞1-≤2 years,＜0.5-1 year after operation(P ＞0.05).Among 23 patients with stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and 5 patients with mixed urinary incontinence (MUI),15 cases underwent transvaginal tension free vaginal tape-obturator (TVT-O) procedure simultaneously,13 cases did not.The cure rate of SUI was 14/15 and 10/13,respectively.Conclusions Modified laparoscopic sacral colpopexy can not only reach the anatomical replacement stage but significantly improve the postoperative quality of life with high subjective and objective cure rate and few complications.The long-term curative effect is stable.

Objective To measure the concentrations of antibodies against outer membrane protein P6 and its T-and B-combined antigenic epitopes of nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae ( NTHi) in children and adults of different ages and to evaluate the differences among different subjects for further investigation on NTHi multiple antigenic peptide vaccine .Methods A prokaryotic expression system was established to ex-press the recombinant outer membrane protein P 6 of NTHi.The expressed protein was purified by using Ni-NTA affinity chromatography .T-and B-cell epitopes in protein P6 were predicted with Epitope prediction software 1.0 and ANTIGENIC program and were used to synthesize T-and B-combined antigenic epitopes .A total of 605 subjects aged from 1 day to 103 years old were recruited from October 2013 to March 2014 .Ser-um concentrations of antibodies against protein P 6 and its T-and B-combined antigenic epitopes were meas-ured by using ELISA .Mann-Whitney U test was used to analyze the differences between groups .Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient was used for correlation analysis .Results Four T-and B-combined antigenic epitopes including P 6-2, P6-61, P6-95 and P6-122 were predicted and synthesized .The levels of antibodies against NTHi P6 and P6-2, P6-61, P6-95 and P6-122 were significant lower in the <1 months group than those in the 1-6 months group (all P<0.001) and 7 months-3 years group (all P<0.001).Three groups including 7 months-3 years group , 4-6 years group and 7-14 years group showed significant differ-ences regarding to the antibodies levels , among the 7 months-3 years group showed the highest levels , fol-lowed by the 4-6 years group and the 7-14 years group.However, no significant difference was found be-tween other adjacent groups .Concentrations of antibodies against P 6-2, P6-61, P6-95 and P6-122 were pos-itively correlated with the level of antibody against P 6 (P<0.0001).Conclusion The distribution of anti-bodies against T-and B-combined antigenic epitopes in P6 was highly in accord with those against P6, which indicated good immunogenicity of those epitopes .The highest antibodies levels were found in subjects aged 7 months to 3 years old , which might correlate with the high risk of NTHi infection at that stage .
