With the increasing incidence and prevalence of male sexual dysfunction, andrologists are more and more in need of accurate and efficient tools to assess therapeutic efficacy and patients' satisfaction and to help patients achieve satisfactory treatment results. This article summarizes some of the most commonly used questionnaires for the diagnosis and assessment of the treatment of male sexual dysfunction, including International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF), Erection Hardness Score (EHS), Quality of Erection Questionnaire (QEQ), Erectile Dysfunction Inventory of Treatment Satisfaction (EDITS), Treatment Satisfaction Scale (TSS), Self-Esteem and Relationship (SEAR), Premature Ejaculation Profile (PEP), Premature Ejaculation Diagnostic Tool (PEDT), Index of Premature Ejaculation (IPE), Arabic Index of Premature Ejaculation (AIPE), Aging Male Symptoms Scale (AMS), Androgen Deficiency in the Aging Male (ADAM), and Symptomatic Inventory for Screening Late-Onset Hypogonadism in Males (SILOH), and presents an overview on their clinical application.

Objective To investigate the change of E-cadherin expression in human skin after cryopreservation. Methods The skin tissue was treated with DMSO-propyleneglycol (TD group) and trehalose-DMSO (DP group), respectively, and cryopreserved in liquid nitrogen (-196 ℃) for 7 and 14 days and the changes after cryopreservation were compared with that of fresh skin (control group). Immunohistochemical staining was used to detect the expression of E-cadherin in the skin.Results Compared with the fresh skin, TD group showed good preservation of the skin, and the expression level of E-cadherin was similar to that in the control group. Conclusion E-cadherin is well preserved in the TD group. Therefore, trehalose-DMSO is an effective cryoprotectant for human skin, and much better than that of traditional low-temperature protectants.

The history of the World Federation of Acupuncture-Moxibustion Societies (WFAS) was reviewed through summarizing the background and process of the establishment of WFAS. The establishment background was explained in different aspects, named the recovery of acupuncture-Moxibustion in the world, the successive setup of world acupuncture-Moxibustion organizations, the divergences of International Association of Acupuncture-Moxibustion, striding forward of China reform and opening policy as well as the attention of the World Health Organization (WHO), etc. The establishment of WFAS was introduced on the proposal from eight countries, the important time of the development of acupuncture and moxibustion in China, 1984, divergences and consensus as well as the final phase. The official establishment of WFAS represents the global benefits of acupuncture-Moxibustion colleagues. It is the international organization of acupuncture and moxibustion, contributing to the promotion of acupuncture and moxibustion in the world.

Objective:To investigate the relations between the changes of apoptotic lymphocytes and expression of apoptotic protein and idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura(ITP).Methods:Flow cytometry was used to detect the percentages of the apoptotic lymphocytes and the expression of Fas,FasL on peripheral lymphocytes,and the serum levels of sFas、sFasL were also determined by a sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA),in 25 patients with ITP.Results:The percentages of the apoptotic lymphocytes(3.35?1.43) and the expression of Fas(32.17?6.54) and FasL(41.14?6.76)were all increased significantly in treated patients whose platelets recovered to normal( P

OBJECTIVE: To study the pharmacokinetic parameter and the relative bioavailability of ferulic acid in ordinary Guipi pills and ultramicro Guipi pills in rabbit.METHODS: HPLC-MS/MS was used to identify the concentration of ferulic acid in the blood sample.RESULTS: Plasma concentration of ferulic acid in ordinary pills was different from that in ultramicro pills.The main pharmacokinetic parameters of ferulic acid in ordinary pills vs.that in ultramicro pills were as follows:t1/2a:(17.59?2.57) min vs.(23.51?4.49) min;t1/2?:(300.91?38.74) min vs.(167.17?45.66) min;tmax: (9.61?1.69) min vs.(12.33?2.27) min;Cmax:(58.92?8.42) ng?mL-1 vs.(112.35?31.29) ng?mL-1;AUC: (5 851.67?895.49) ng?min-1?mL-1 vs.(8 586.13?1 497.62) ng?min-1?mL-1.There were significant difference in Cmax and AUC between ordinary pills and ultramicro pills.CONCLUSION: The application of super fine crushing technique in the preparation of Guipi pills could improve the bioavailability of Guipi pills.

Objective To evaluate the clinical effects of emergency neoplasty on corneal penetrating injury. Methods A total of 102 cases of corneal penetrating injury were investigated.The patients underwent micro-trauma technique suture,optical iridectomy,extraction of anterior segment foreign bodies,nepheloid lens removal,and artificial lens implantation.The vision of pre-and post-surgery was compared and relationship between injury location and recovery was analyzed. Results The injury of cornea repaired completely 1 month after surgery.Cross infection was not found in the patients with one-year long follow-up(80% of all patients).The vision of all patients raised.The injury in center and nasal side affected vision significantly. Conclusion Timely surgery to corneal penetrating injury may be considered in order to improve the recovery of the traumatic eyes.

From cooperation between World Federation of Acupuncture-Moxibustion Societies (WFAS) and World Health Organization, works of academics and standardization, acupuncture-moxibustion education, technique service, organization development, etc., the 27-year development of WFAS since 1987 was summarized and reviewed in details. The growth of WFAS witnesses and promotes the development of acupuncture and moxibustion in the world, so by learning the experience and lessons, WFAS could have a wider path, becoming a core organization for communicating and promoting the development of acupuncture, even the traditional medicine in the world.
