Objective To compare the curative effect of several surgical treatments for closed urethral injury.Methods A retrospective study was done on 200 cases of closed urethral injury treated with various methods from June 2002 to June 2012,including 44 cases of anterior urethral injury treated with endoscopic transurethral realignment (anterior endoscopic group),32 cases of anterior urethral injury with transperineal urethral repair (repair group),42 cases of posterior urethral injury with transperineal urethral termino-terminal anastomosis (anastomosis group),35 cases of posterior urethral injury with endoscopic transurethral realignment (posterior endoscopic group),and 47 cases of posterior urethral injury with endoscopic transurethral and transvesical realignment (combined endoscopic group).Amount of bleeding,operation time,hospital stay as well as expense,and rate of urethral stricture and erectile dysfunction (ED) in treatment of anterior and posterior urethral injury were compared respectively.Curativeeffect and merits and faults of each treatment were observed.Results Anterior endoscopic group achieved less bleeding [(10 ± 5) ml∶ (100 ± 20) ml,P ＜ 0.05],shorter operation time and hospital stay [(15 ± 6) min∶ (40 ± 15) min,(14.2 ± 1.8) min∶ (28.5 ± 1.5) min respectively,P ＜ 0.05],lower hospital expense and urethral stricture rate[(4 715.42 ± 225.43) RMB∶ (6 886.46 ± 246.78) RMB,39％ ∶ 63％ respectively,P ＜ 0.05] as compared with repair group,but there was no statistical difference in ED rate between the two groups.Whereas in anastomosis group,the most bleeding [(200 ± 30) ml],longest operation time [(60 ± 20) minutes] and hospital stay [(28.7 ± 2.3) days],and highest hospital expense [(6 964.27 ± 275.69) RMB] and urethral stricture rate (95 ％) were detected (P ＜ 0.05).Posterior endoscopic group presented less bleeding [(15 ± 6) ml∶ (50 ± 12) ml,P ＜ 0.05] and shorter operation time [(21.4 ± 1.7) min∶ (21.2 ± 1.5) min,P ＜ 0.05] as compared with combined endoscopic group,but there were no statistical differences in hospital stay as well as expense and urethral stricture rate between the two groups.Moreover,ED rate was not statistically different among anastomosis group,posterior endoscopic group and combined endoscopic group.Conclusions Endoscopic surgery is superior to traditional surgery in terms of blood loss,operation time,hospital stay,and hospital cost.Besides,urethral stricture and ED rates are closely related to the location and severity of injury.

Objective To investigate the morphology change of transplants of adrenocortical cells using poly-? -hybroxybutyric acid (PHB) as a cell carrier. Methods Adrenocortical cells were seeded on PHB and then implanted into rats bearing bilateral adrenalectomy. Histological changes and CD3 expression by using immunohistochemical staining were observed in local area of transplants on the postoperative week 2, 4, 8. Results Histological study showed inflaming cells were decreased as time passed, fibrous tissue disappeared step by step, PHB degraded gradually and adrenocortical cells tended to be organized; Ultrastratural observation revealed these cells maintained identical secreting function; Immunohistochemical assay indicated the expression of CD3 in the transplanted was similar to that in the normal adrenal cells. Conclusion The transplanted cells seeded in PHB can not only be survival, but also organized to the same tissue structure and ultrastructure as normal adrenal tissue.

Objective To investigate the effect of PHB on the proliferation and secretion function of adrenocortical cells and the efficiency of PHB as a cell carrier in transplantation of adrneocortical cells. Methods Adrenocortical cells from rat adrenal gland were separated and cultured in vitro. The effect of PHB on the proliferation and secrete function of adrenocortical cells were evaluated by MTT and RIA method. Adrenocortical cells were seeded into PHB. After cells were cultured in vitro for about 7 days, they were implanted into rats subject to bilateral adrenalectomy. The changes of blood corticosterone and aldosterone and local histological changes were observed. Results Adrenocortical cells could grow and passage on PHB. PHB had no effect on the proliferation and secretion function of adrenocortical cells. Adrenocortical cells from autograft, allograft and xenograft greatly suppressed the proliferation of spleen cells (P

Objective To investigate the feasibility of determining the surface density of RGD-containing peptide on allogenic bone by isotopic tracing technique using RGD peptide labelled with 125Ⅰ,and the impact of the input concentration of RGD-containing peptide on the surface density,and to obtain the history between the surface density and the input concentration of RGD-containing peptide.Methods The synthetic RGD-containing peptide was labelled with 125Ⅰ,and the specific radioactivity was calculated.The reactive solutions of RGD-containing peptide with the radioactive 125Ⅰ-RGD as a probe were prepared at the input concentrations of 0.01 mg/ml,0.10 mg/ml,0.50 mg/ml,1.00 mg/ml,2.00 mg/ml,4.00 mg/ml.Using EDC as the cross-linking agent,the reaction was carried out by placing the allogenic bone pieces into the reactive solutions of RGD-containing peptide with different input concentrations.After the reaction,the surface density of RGD-containing peptide grafted onto the allogenic bone pieces was calculated by evaluating the radioactivity and the surface area of the bone pieces.The impact of the input concentration of RGD-containing peptide on the surface density was measured and the curve was ascertained.Results After measuring in the radiodensity γ-counter,the result showed the RGD peptides have been marked with 125Ⅰ successfully.The allogenic bone pieces were radioactive after the reaction,which demonstrated that the RGD-containing peptide had been grafted onto the surface of bone pieces successfully.It was also found that with the increasing of input concentration,the surface density raised.Conclusion The surface density of RGD-containing peptide is related to its input concentration.With the increasing of input concentration,the surface density raises to the saturation value gradually.

Objective To study the absorption and transportation of flavonoids in Herb Epimedii by using Caco-2 monolayer model. Methods Caco-2 cell monolayer model was used to study the bi-direction transport of icariin, epimedin A, epimedin B, epimedin C, and baohuoside Ⅰ. The concentration of the five flavonoids in cell culture medium was measured by UPLC and the apparent permeability coefficients (Papp) were calculated. Results The absorptive permeability coefficients (PAB) of icariin, epimedin A, epimedin B, epimedin C, and baohuoside Ⅰ were 5.91?10-7, 3.22?10-7, 2.76?10-7, 4.23?10-7, and 1.46?10-6 cm/s, respectively. Except baohuoside Ⅰ, the other four flavonodes had lower permeabilities, and the secretive permeabilities (PBA) of all the flavonoids were larger than their absorptive permeabilities. Among them, the PBA of baohuoside Ⅰ was 9.8 times as much as the PAB. Conclusion The results suggest that the intestinal absorption of the five flavonoids is lower, which might have efflux mechanism by transporters, and the absorption of monloglycoside (e.g. baohuoside Ⅰ) is better than that of diglycoside (e.g. icariin) and triglycoside (e.g. epimedin A, epimedin B, and epimedin C).
