The hemodynamic effects of deliberated hypotension induced by PGE1 or SNP on 14 dogs anesthetized by ketamine were studied separately.MAP was decreased by 30%~40% after infusing PGE,or SNP Hemodynamic variables were measured before and 15 min 30 min after hypotension and 15 min after the discontinuation of infusion.The results indicated that SVRI, PVRI, MPAP, LVSWI and RVSWI all decreased significantly during PGE1-or SNP-induced hypotension. CVP decreased and HR increased significantly during SNP-induced hypotension, but with no significant change during PGE1-induced hypotension and with SVI. CI. PCWP remained unchanged in these two groups throughout the experiments.

Objective To evaluate endoscopic management of bladder neck obstruction (BNO). Methods 44 patients suffering from BNO have been treated by transurethral resection of bladder neck (TURN). Results All patients have been followed up for 6～84 months with a mean of 48 months.The success rate has been 84%.Recurrence was observed in 4 (11%) for all of which TURN was carried out twice or three times with success.The causes of the 7 failures were neurogenic bladder, detrusor-extra-sphincter dyssynergy, BNO with chronic prostatitis (CP) or BNO with chronic cystitis in female patients. Conclusions Endoscopic management is a safe and efficient treatment for BNO.Careful consideration should be undertaken in case there is CP or for female patients.Postoperative adjunctive hormone supplement therapy and long-period urethral dilatation might be needed for preventing recurrence.

AIM:To investigate the regulation of miR-222 on BCL2L13 gene and its effect on the growth and apoptosis of HBx-HepG2 cells, and to explore the underlying molecular mechanisms .METHODS:The expression level of miR-222 was detected by RT-qPCR.The HBx-HepG2 cell growth was examined by MTT and colony formation assays .The cell cycle and apoptosis were analyzed by flow cytometry .The recombination vector pmirGLO-BCL2L13 was constructed, and dual-luciferase reporter experiment was performed to validate the target of miR-222.RESULTS:The expression level of miR-222 in the HBx-HepG2 cells was significantly higher than that in the L 02 cells ( P<0.05 ) .Over-expression of miR-222 enhanced HBx-HepG2 cell growth, changed cell cycle, and inhibited apoptosis (P<0.05).Knockdown of miR-222 reduced HBx-HepG2 cell growth, changed cell cycle, and increased cell apoptotic rate (P<0.05).BCL2L13 was down-regulated in the HBx-HepG2 cells as compared with L02 cells (P<0.05), and knockdown of miR-222 in the HBx-HepG2 cells increased the expression level of BCL2L13 (P<0.05).The results of dual-luciferase reporter assay and re-store experiment showed that miR-222 negatively regulated the expression of BCL2L13 via targeting 3’ UTR of BCL2L13, resulting in the promotion of HBx-HepG2 cell growth .CONCLUSION: miR-222 enhances HBx-HepG2 cell growth via down-regulation of BCL2L13.

Objective To investigate the localization,zone and activation intensity of olfactory center in young versus elderly healthy volunteers by functional magnetic resonance imaging (BOLD-fMRI),so as to elucidate the effect of age on olfactory center in healthy population.Methods Thirteen right-handed healthy adult volunteers were recruited and divided into two groups:young group (5 males and 3 females,mean aged 23 years) and elderly group (2 males and 3 females,mean aged 69.2 years).The olfactory stimulus was r-undecalactone,and it was given according to a block design.The fMRI detection was performed on Philips Achieva 3.0 T MR scanner,and data of BOLE-fMRI was processed and analyzed to get cerebration image by using SPM2.Results In groupaveraged maps,both young and elderly group showed significant olfactory activation in right parahippocampal gyrus,left hippocampal sulcus,right and left superior temporal gyrus,etc,subcortical activation in right thalamus,dorsal pons,and cerebellum activation in cerebellar vermis.Activations in right inferior frontal gyrus,right middle frontal gyrus,right medial occipito-temporal gyrus and right fimbria of hippocampus were observed only in young group,while activation in bilateral middle temporal gyrus was observed only in elderly group.Activation area was apparently smaller and activation degree was lower in elderly group than in young group.Activation intensity in right superior parietal lobule and bilateral superior temporal gyri was higher in male group than in female group (t=13.7,6.08,5.36,respectively,all P＜0.001).Conclusions The intensity of activation in olfactory center is lower in the elderly than in the young,and absence of part of the active regions is found in the elderly,which demonstrates the regression of olfactory center in the elderly.The olfactory center shows right-predominant activation,and olfactory activation intensity in some cortical regions is higher in males than in females.

Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of Solifenacin for the treatment of overactive bladder in children. Methods A retrospective analysis was done in a children admitted to our hospital in January 2010,with lower urinary tract obstruction lead to overactive bladder.The boy was 4 years old,suffering from difficult urinating,urinary frequent,urgency and incontinence for 4 years.Imaging studies (B ultrasound,intravenous urography,CT,bladder voiding urethrography) found bilateral hydronephrosis and kidney collecting system separation with left 3.3 cm and right 2.3 cm in diameter; ureteral dilation with left 1.3 cm,right 1.6 cm in diameter.A transverse septum crossing the urethra at a right angle distal to the verumontanum was detected.According to history,physical examination and imaging examination,a diagnosis for posterior urethral valves was established.Under general anesthesia,urethroscopy found that the valve was attached below urethra wall,divided into two forks towards urethral lateral wall.The valve was excised.Three months later,although good voiding,the hydronephrosis and hydroureter still did not improve.After cystostomy and 6 months follow-up,hydronephrosis and hydroureter still not improved. B ultrasound showed the renal pelvis dilation with left 3.2 cm,right 2.0 cm in diameter,and bilateral ureteral dilation with left 1.3 cm,right 1.4 cm in diameter.Solifenacin (5 mg/tablet),1/3 tablet,about 1.7 mg per day was added. Results After oral Solifenacin one month,hydronephrosis and hydroureter began to improve.After 3 months,hydroureter disappeared; hydronephrosis improved significantly.. B-ultrasound showed the renal collecting system mild dilation with left 1.1 cm,right 1.0 cm in diameter.After 13 months follow-up,no side effects was detected. Conclusions Combined with the surgical treatment,Solifenacin can alleviate hydronephrosis secondary to OAB,and can also protect the renal function.
