Objective To investigate age-related changes of serum prolactin(PRL) and testosterone (T) in aging males and to study the correlation between PRL and prostatic hyperplasia. Methods 84 aged males were divided into four groups, the fifties, the sixties, the seventies and the eigh- ties . Serum PRL and T were measured using radioimmunoassay. The volume of prostate was evaluated by ultrasound in 38 and it's correlation with PRL studied. Results Serum T level of the 4 age groups from fifties to eighties was (25.92?2.54),(21.00?1.92),(18.37?2.49) and (14.75? 2.38 ) nmol/L respectively and PRL concentration (1.11?0.16), (0.96?0.20), (0.99?0.18) and (0.91?0.29) nmol/L. Analysis of variance showed that serum T concentration significantly decreased with age ( F =3.44, P 0.05). No association between PRL and volume of prostate has been observed. Conclusions PRL play a physiological role in the development and growth of prostate via androgen. But such effect of androgeno-dependence on prostate is greatly diminished because of the decrease of androgen hormone with age especially in the aged.

Objective To investigate the effects and mechanisms of adrenomedullin (ADM) and adrenomedullin receptor (ADMR) on hypoxia pulmonary hypertension (HPH) in rats.Methods Eighteen male Wistar rats were randomly divided into three groups:control group, hypoxic group and hypoxic plus ADM group.ADM was subcutaneously administered into rats with ADM. After 21 days, The mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP) and right ventricular hypertrophy index[RV/(LV+S)] were measured. Hypoxic pulmonary vascular remodeling(HPSR) was observed with morphometric analysis. The level of pulmonary arterial plasma ADM was measured by radioimmunoassay. The semiquantitate in situ hybridization was used to measure the expression of ADMR mRNA in pulmonary artery walls. Results (1) The level of mPAP, RV/(LV+S),the ratio of vascular wall thick ness to external diameter(MT%) and ratio of vascular wall area to total area (MA%) were significantly higher in hypoxia group than those in control group(2) The pulmonary artery plasma ADM level was significantly higher in hypoxic group and hypoxic plus ADM group than that in control group(P

Aim: To prepare the influenza vaccine lyophilized liposomes and to characterize its particle distribution, encapsulation efficiency and immunogenicity. Methods: Flu vaccine liposome based on the method of thin-film evaporation was prepared using phospholipids , cholesterol and the purified influenza virus split vaccine, and was further subjected to frozen-drying. The polymorph was observed by microscope; the particle distribution and the average size were analysed by transmission electron microscope; its encapsulation efficiency was determined by Lowry method and the antibody titers were assessed by hemagglutination-inhibition after pulmonary delivery to mice. Results: The reconstitated influenza vaccine liposome under electronic microscope were round or elliptic particles evenly distributed at a mean size of 2. 14 祄, with the encapsulation efficiency of more than 80%. The antibody titer through pulmonary delivery was higher than that through intraperitoneal injection. Conclusion: The prepared influenza vaccine lyophilized liposomes possess high encapsulation efficiency, better particle distribution and marked immunogenicity through pulmonary delivery to mice. Pulmonary delivery of influenza vaccine liposomes is a potential immunization approach worthy of further exploitation.

Blood samples were detected by 24 blood-glucose meters using glucose oxidase and another 18 glucose meters using glucose dehydrogenase. The plasma glucose was detected by the auto-chemistry analyzer as control. According to ISO1 5197 and EF9-A2, the bias of results from both glucose meters 100% fall in the range of ±0. 56 mmol/L( <4. 2 mmol/L) and ≥99. 7% in the range of ±20% ( ≥4. 2 mmol/L), predicted bias were all less than the true bias(Bc). As κ>0. 6, the results from both glucose meters were in accordance with the results from autochemistry analyzer in judging hyperglycemia ( >6. 11 mmol/L) and hypoglycemia ( < 3.89 mmol/L). Between the results from the two blood-glucose meters, κ<0. 6. The accuracy of both glucose-meters are accepted for the purpose of clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Objective To investigate the long-term effects of xanthine oxidase inhibitor,oxypurinol on myocardial contractility of post-ischemic heart failure in mice,and explore the underlying mechanism. Methods One hundred and twenty SV120 mice were randomly assigned into myocardial infarction control group,sham operation group and Oxy treatment group.Post-ischemic heart failure were induced by left anterior descending coronary artery ligation in myocardial infarction control group and Oxy treatment group,and mice in Oxy treatment group and sham operation group were orally administered with 0.5 mmol/L Oxy each day.Nine to eleven months after treatment,echocardiography was performed in all groups.Trabeculae from the right ventricle of mice were dissected for assessment of changes in excitation-contraction coupling.Sarcomere length was measured by laser diffraction.Intracellular free Ca~(2+) concentration([Ca~(2+)]_I)was detected with fluorescent dye Fura-2,which was microinjected iontophoretically into cells. Steady-state force-[Ca~(2+)]_I was achieved by addition of ryanodine and increasing the stimulus frequency to induce tetanization,and the relationship between myocardial contractility and intracellular Ca~(2+) transients was analysed.Besides,Western blotting was performed to determine the oxidation of myofilament proteins. Results Long-term oral administration of oxypurinol significantly improved myocardial contraction function and reduced ventricular wall thickness.Programming of excitation-contraction coupling was significantly improved,and maximal Ca~(2+) activated force(F_(max))in steady-state wag also significantly increased.Western blotting revealed the oxidative modification of actin in mice of Oxy treatment group was significantly inhibited compared with that of myocardial infarction control group. Conclusion Long-term treatment with Oxy improves the cardiac contraction function and boosts the cardiac force dramatically in post-ischemia heart failure.The increase in contraction is the result of increased myofilament Ca~(2+) responsiveness.Thus,antioxidant oxypurinol,by preventing oxidative damage to contractile proteins,can augment contraction with little changes in[Ca~(2+)]_I,represents new class of inotropic agents with advantages of reducing Ca~(2+) overload,and offers new promises in management of heart failure in the future.

Objective To approach the risk factors of bronchopulmonary dysplasia(BPD)with very low birth weight infants whose gestational age less than 32 weeks,thus it could provide a basis direction for prevention.Methods To summarize 70 neonates with BPD in October 2012 to October 2014 in our hospital, and randomly select 70 very low birth weight infants didn't have oxygen requirement of gestation age less than 32 weeks as control group.The perinatal risk factors,oxygen therapy and use caffeine were analyzed by using the statistical analysis of Chi-square test and logistic regression,so the risk factors and prevention direc-tion of BPD could be provided.Results Male gender were more prone to BPD(P ﹦0.000).Gestational age (P ﹦0.000)and birth weight(P ﹦0.002)were statistical lower in infants with BPD compared with no BPD.Family history of asthma,fetal distress,amniotic fluid turbidity,pulmonary hemorrhage,respiratory dis-tress syndrome,use of pulmonary surfactant,patent ductus arteriosus,intrauterine infection,ventilator time,na-sal continuous positive airway pressure /nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation time,duration of oxy-gen therapy and use of caffeine were statistical significances (P 〈0.05,respectively).Logistic regression analysis demonstrated that gender(OR ﹦3.574,P ﹦0.003),gestational age≥28 weeks(OR ﹦58.665,P ﹦0.002), birth weight 〈1 250 g(OR ﹦36.453,P ﹦0.012)and ventilator time(OR ﹦703.696,P ﹦0.000)were independent risk factors for BPD infants.Using of caffeine(OR ﹦0.025,P ﹦0.010)and nasal continuous positive airway pressure/nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation(OR ﹦0.004,P ﹦0.002)were protective factors for BPD infants. Conclusion The incidence of BPD could be reduced by strengthening prenatal care,minimizing intrauterine in-fection and preterm delivery,reducing the patent ductus arteriosus by strict fluid management,using mechanical ventilation rationally,choosing a non-invasive mechanical ventilation and caffeine.
