Objective To evaluate the efficacy of percutaneous laser hypothermia in the treatment of lumbar discogenic pain. Methods From June 2006 to March 2008,35 patients with lumbar discogenic pain were treated by low-frequency laser hypothermia in our hospital with 1 second impulse time,1 second interval time,3.5 w power,and 30 minutes duration. The effectiveness of the therapy was evaluated afterwards. Results Among the cases,15 patients were treated by one operation,20 patients received a second therapy,and 6 underwent the therapy for totally 3 time; the treatment was effective in 32 cases (excellent in 7,good in 24,and fair in 1). The therapy is ineffective in 2 cases. One case was converted to open surgery for unsatisfying outcomes of the laser hypothermia. The total effective rate was 91.4%(32/35),and fineness rate was 88.6%(31/35). Conclusions Percutaneous laser hypothermia is an effective treatment for lumbar discogenic pain. The indications for the procedure should be selected strictly.

Objective To investigate the changes of Na~+,K~+-ATPase activity in the proximal tubules (PT) of type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM) and the correlation of PT Na~+,K~+-ATPase activity and endogenous digitalis-like substance (EDLS). Methods Female Wistar rats were developed a rat model of T2DM and then divided into 3 groups after injected stretozotocin, that is, 5 weeks group, 7 weeks group and 9 weeks group. The PT were microdissection by freehand. Na~+,K~+ -ATPase activity of PT were determined by liquid scintillation counter. Serum EDLS and insulin were determined using radioimmunoassay. Results Compared with control group, T2DM rats were associated with hyperglycemia, hypertriglyceridemia, dyslipidemia, and insulin resistance; Na~+,K~+-ATPase activity of PT in T2DM rats was significantly increased, and there was no significant difference among 3 sub-groups. Serum EDLS level was significantly enhanced in T2DM, however, EDLS levels were no significant difference among 3 sub-groups. Na~+,K~+-ATPase activity of PT had negative relation with EDLS level in serum. Conclusion Na~+,K~+-ATPase activity of PT in T2DM rats is increased and EDLS level in serum decrease may play a important role.

Objective To investigate the influence of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) on rat renal tubular epithelial cell apoptosis induced by albumin and the possible mechanism. Methods The renal tubular epithelial cells (NRK-52E) were cultured in DMEM/F12 1:1 medium as normal control group; NRK-52E cells were cultured with 30 g/L fat-free bovine serum albumin (BSA) as the BSA control group; NRK-52E cells were cultured with CoPP (Cobalt pretoporphyrin Ⅸ) 5 μ mol/L for 24 hours as the treatment group. MTT assay was used to observe the effects of CoPP on growth inhibition induced by BSA in NRK-52E cells. The effect of CoPP was observed in BSAinduced apoptosis with the fluorescence microscope dyed by AnnexinV-FITC PI. The levels of HO-1, and expression of Bcl-2 and Bax mRNA were detected by reverse transcript polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Results Compared with normal control group, BSA inhibited the growth of NRK-52E cells (P<0.05) and increased cell apoptosis rate (P<0.05). The CoPP pretreatment partially inhibited the BSA-induced apoptosis(P<0.05). Compared with normal control group, HO-1 mRNA expression increased (0.44±0.06 vs 0.39±0.05, P<0.05) in BSA control group. Compared with the BSA control group, the expression of HO-1 mRNA significantly increased after CoPP pretreatment(0.50±0.06 vs 0.44±0.06, P<0.05 ). Meanwhile, BSA increased the expression of Bax mRNA (0.87±0.04 vs 0.67±0.03, P<0.05)and reduced the expression of Bcl-2 mRNA (0.25± 0.04 vs 0.42±0.02, P<0.05 ). CoPP could inhibit the effect of BSA (Bax mRNA: 0.75±0.07, Bcl-2 mRNA: 0.36±0.03, P<0.05, respectively). Conclusions BSA can increase the apoptosis rate significantly and regulate the expression of apoptosis associated proteins in mRNA level directly. CoPP inhibits these changes, which provides evidence to support the essential role of HO-1 in cytoprotective function .

Objective To assess the pubvaginal fascia sling cystourethropexy (PV sling) technique and outcomes of the treatment of female type Ⅲ stress urinary incontinence. Methods From October 2005 to January 2008, 9 women presenting with type Ⅲ stress urinary incontinence were treated with Pubvaginal fascia sling cystourethropexy. All the patients underwent 1 h pad test before discharge and were tested with maximum uroflow rate, volume of postal residual urine, maximum urethral close pressure (MUCP) and abdominal leak point pressure (ALPP) after 3 months. Results The operative time ranged from 60 to 90 min (mean, 75 min). Estimated blood loss ranged from 60 to 100 ml (mean, 76 ml). Intraoperative unilateral bladder perforation occurred in 2 cases. One patient with infection of abdominal incision was cured by changed dressings. The urinary catheter was removed 5 days post-operation. 4 patients had normal urination and 1 patient had urine retention. The recovery following intermittent catheterization was 3-12 days. 8 patients got 3-28 months' follow up. 7 patients were cured with 1 h pad test decreased from preoperative 58 g (45-75 g) to postoperative 1 g (0-2 g), mean residual urine was less 65 ml (0-80 ml). The values of Qmax (ml/s),MUCP (cm H2O) and ALPP (cm H2O) were 10. 5±2. 7, 15. 5±3. 4 and 40. 4±8.2 pre-opreative,and 26.5±3.9, 49.8±6.7 and 98.6± 12.2 3 months post-operative. There were significant differences of these parameters between pre-and post-operation (p<0.01). Conclusions PV sling could be a safe and effective surgical procedure fortreatment of type Ⅲ female stress urinary incontinence.

Objective To analyze characteristics of severe liver trauma and efficacy of different surgical procedures. Methods Clinical data of 109 patients with severe liver trauma treated in the recent 10 years were retrospectively analyzed. Debriding suture was performed in 32 patients, gauze tamponade in 5, debridement hepatectomy in 59 and anatomical hepatectomy in 13 patients. Results In all the 109 patients, 92 were cured and 17 died. The dead patients included 3 with grade Ⅲ trauma,9 with grade Ⅳ trauma, and 5 with grade V trauma. Among the dead patients, there were 3 patients with simple liver injury (17.6%) and 14 with associated injury (82.4%). Conclusion Right hepatic serious damage is the main type of severe liver trauma and is always complicated with associated injury and needs emergency treatment. Application of the most appropriate surgical approach according to the traumatic condition is important to promote the successful rate of treatment.

Objective To investigate the effects of motilin on the voltage dependent potassium channel and L-type calcium channel currents in rat proximal colon smooth muscle cells (PCSM) and to explore its mechanism in increasing colonic motility.Methods PCSM were isolated by collagenase.The voltage dependent potassium channel transit outward current (IKA ) and delayed rectifier current (IKdr) and L-type calcium currents (ICa(L)) were measured by whole cell patch clamp technique.Groups were analyzed by paired t-test.Results There was no significant effect of motilin on IKA and IKdr.L-type calcium channel was dose-dependently activated by motilin from 0.5 × 105 mmol/L to 10.0 ×10-5 mmol/L.At 6 × 10-5 mmol/L motilin and under - 10,0 and 10 mV stimulating voltage,maximum current density increased by 154.61%,62.69% and 21.02% respectively and activation kinetics curve obviously left shifted.Half activation voltage decreased from (2.740±1.211) mV prior administration to ( - 25.290 ± 0.614) mV (t =8.534,P =0.007 ) and there was no significant difference in slope factor. Conclusions Motilin increases colonic smooth muscle contraction by promoting calcium influx. However the frequency of colonic smooth muscle contraction could not change with frequency of equilibrium potential and action potential of colonic smooth muscle.

The correlated proteome of Penicillium marneffei resistant to fluconazole was investigated in the present study, in which 11 strains of P. marneffei of both the mycelial and yeast forms sensitive to fluconazole were cultivated in Sabouraud's liquid medium containing 8 g fluconazole and the MICs of fluoconazile to P.marneffei before and after inducing cultures were tested by E-test method. The strains of the mycelial and yeast forms showing the most significant increase in MIC value were selected and the protein clip CM10 was used to detect the proteome differences before and after inducing cultures. It was found that 11 strains of the mycelial forms and 2 strains of the yeast forms could tolerate the action of fluconazole and could grow at a drug concentration of 8 μg/mL. Furthermore, the MICs of fluoconazole to the mycelial forms were significantly increased after 7 days of inducing culture and the geometric means of MICs were increased from 1.22 μg /mL to 55.56 μg/mL. After the mycelial forms had been induced to be resistant, 16 proteins were highly expressed with specific expression of the 4581.1 Da and 6109.7 Da proteins; whereas 22 resistant yeast form were highly expressed with specific expression of the 3575.2 Da, 8507.0 Da and 8563.3 Da proteins. These results suggest that the mycelial form of P.narneffei seems to be more tolerant to the action of fluconazole than the yeast form. The resistance of these organisms to fluconazole may be associated to some specific proteins.
