Objective　To explore the mechanism of male reproductive toxicity of bisphenol-A.Methods　The morphological characteristics of seminiferous tubule,vimentin filaments and p53 gene expression in sertoli's cells of adult SD rats orally exposed to 0.5% bisphenol-A were observed and analyzed by histo-chemical and immuno-histochemical methods.Results　After 2-week-exposure to 0.50% bisphenol-A,the disattachment between sertoli's cell and spermatogonia,spermatogonia arranged in disorder and displacement of spermatogonia away from the basement membrance of seminiferous tubules as well as the flocculated chromatins of nuclei in sertoli's cells and spermatogonia were observed.Fourfold increase of p53 expression in nuclei of spermatogonia and leydig's cells and the collaps of vimentin filaments in sertoli's cells were also found.Conclusion　The results suggested that the disattachment between sertoli's cells and spermatogonia,might be associated with the collaps of vimentin filaments in nuclei of sertoli's cells and the increase of p53 expres sion in nuclei of sertoli's cells and spermatogonia,which might be one of the important mechanisms of reproductive toxicity of bisphenol-A.The increase of p53 expression in nuclei of leydig's cells might predict the potential anti-androgenicity of bisphenol-A

Objective To analyze the factors associated with the outcome of pyeloplasty in term of renal function and morphology improvement in children with unilateral ureteropelvic junction obstruction,in order to provide clinical evidence for the treatment of hydronephrosis in children.Methods Clinical data of 174 children who underwent unilateral dismembered pyeloplasty from January 2009 to June 2014 were retrospectively studied.Differential changes in renal function and renal morphology after pyeloplasty were assessed by serial renal scan and ultrasound.On the basis of preoperative split DRF,these patients were divided into three groups:group Ⅰ with DRF ≥40％ (n =99),group Ⅱ with DRF 30％-40％ (n =29) and group Ⅲwith DRF ＜ 30％ (n =46).According to their age at surgery,the children were divided into four groups,including group A aged 1-3 months (n =52),group B aged 3 months-3 years (n =44),groupCaged3-6years (n =37),and group D aged more than 6 years (n =41).Results Inall 174 children,postoperative complication occurred in 7 cases,including urinary tract infection in 6 cases and renal atrophy in 1 case.A significant improvement of both function and morphology was confirmed in most patients (P ＜ 0.01).Patients in group Ⅰ showed stable renal function after operation(DRF 48.46％ ±4.80％ vs.50.78％ ± 5.45％,P ＜ 0.01),of them who underwent pyeloplasty at 1-3 months of age showed the best obvious recovery of renal morphology.Renal function of patients in group Ⅱ recovered obviously and most of them reached to the initial values (DRF 35.18％ ± 2.95％ vs.43.91％ ± 6.89％,P ＜ 0.01).While renal function of patients in group Ⅲ recovered significantly after surgery,most of them failed to restore the initial values(DRF 20.70％ ± 6.90％ vs.33.78％ ± 12.49％,P ＜ 0.01),and among them,the aged 1-3 months group possessed the best recovery.Moreover,the morphological improvement was similar to the functional improvement.The time for hydronephrosis recovered to less than Grade 2 of Society for Fetal Urology(SFU)was 6,24 and over 24 months respectively in group Ⅰ,Ⅱ and Ⅲll,and the renal morphology gradually improved with the increasing duration of follow-up.Conclusions The renal function and morphology of most patients improved significantly after pyeloplasty.Recovery of renal function and morphology after surgery was significantly correlated with the preoperative DRF.Early surgical intervention may improve the function and morphology recovery of the involved renal unit.

The researches on the acupoint effect specificity were summarized to explore whether the integrality of the acupoint effect specificity existed and analyze the connection between the relativity and integrality of the acupoint effect specificity. The literature on the clinical and experimental researches relevant with the acupoint effect specificity was retrieved through CNKI from January 2007 to October 2017. A total of 39 papers met the retrieving criteria. Separately, in terms of the holism of TCM theory, the holism of meridian theory and modern research, the integrality of acupoint effect specificity was analyzed. The relativity and the integrality are indicated in the acupoint effect specificity. The integrality of acupoint effect specificity is closely related to the holism of TCM theory as well as the meridians. Just because of its integrality, the acupoint effect specificity is relative, rather than absolute.
