To investigate the mechanism of detrusor instability, using an apparatus to measure energy regulated tonicity and length of muscle strip in vitro , detrusor instability in bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) and spinal cord injuries (SCI) after pharmacological intervention was studied. The detrusor of both groups contracted under definite tension. Contraction of DI strips occurred under lower tension and under same tension the frequency of contraction was higher in DI detrusor than the normal one. There were no obvious changes when the detrusor strips were treated with M receptor antagonists, ATP or VIP. Muscarinic receptor agonist could increase the excitability of detrusor. The increase of detrusor excitability plays a major role in the occurrence of DI. The excitability is independent on neurogenic factors.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of modular flexible ureteroscopy combined with holmium laser lithotripsy for the treatment of renal and upper ureteral stones . Methods A total of 97 patients with renal and upper ureteral stones were treated with modular flexible ureteroscopy combined with holmium laser lithotripsy in our hospital from October 2012 to February 2016.Under general anesthesia (90 cases) or epidural anesthesia (7 cases), a flexible ureteroscope was used to find renal or ureteral calculus and holmium laser lithotripsy was applied at a maximum energy of 1.2-1.6 J/10 -12 Hz (12-20 W).F6 or F7 double-J stents and catheters were routinely placed postoperatively .B-ultrasonography , KUB or CT were performed to evaluate the stone free rate 4 weeks after operation . Results Two patients suffered ureteral perforation due to stenosis and tortuosity of the ureter , and were given double-J stent placement under rigid ureteroscopy for 2 weeks and then flexible ureteroscopic treatment .Six patients underwent staged operations because of ureteral strictures .The operations were successful in the remaining 89 patients.Except for unsuccessful exploration in 3 cases of lower calyx calculi , the operation time of other 94 patients was 30-190 min (mean, 100 min).The stone detection rate was 96.9%(94/97), and the stone free rate was 88.6% (86/97).The stone free rates were 100.0% (25/25) for upper and middle calyx calculi, 75.0%(9/12) for lower calyx calculi, and 85.1% (23/27) for pelvis and multiple calyx calculi. Ureteral perforation was encountered in 2 cases.No massive hemorrhage occurred .Postoperative high fever was seen in 5 cases, with a body temperature of 38.5-39.3℃, which were cured after anti-infection treatment for 2 -7 d.The patients were discharged from hospital in 2-7 days (mean, 3.3 days) after operation.Review with B-ultrasonography, KUB or CT at 4 weeks after operation found 5 cases of residual stones >4 mm, including 3 cases located in lower calyx and 2 cases in multiple calyx . Conclusion Modular flexible ureteroscopy combined with holmium laser lithotripsy is effective and safe for the treatment of renal calculi .

Objective To investigate the relationship between muscarinic receptor subtypes and detrusor hyperreflexia. Methods Spinal cord was transected in male Wistar rats at L 1～2 level, changes of urodynamics were monitored 3 weeks later by cystometric studies.Spontaneous contraction frequency and strength of detrusor strip mustarded by carbachol (muscarinic receptor agonist), atropine (nonselective M antagonist), methoctramin (M 2 receptor selected antagonist) and 4 DAMP (M 3 receptor selected antagonist) were measured. Results Bladders after SCI showed littler capacity, lower compliance and hyperreflexia. Detrusor of all groups contracted at a definite tension. The contraction frequency in the hyperreflexia group (4.797?0.257 times/min) was higher than in the control's(3.227?0.173 times/min).There were no obvious changes while detrusor strips were mustarded by different muscarinic receptor antagonists.Carbachol could increase detrusor contraction frequency( 6.316 ?0.409 times/min) and the effect could be blocked by atropine(5.304?0.095 times/min) and 4 DAMP(5.046?0.089 times/min). Conclusions Detrusor is a rythmatic tissue at a difinite tension.Excitability rise of detrusor is the main cause of hyperrefexia. M 3 receptor can enhance the excitability of detrusor causing direct contraction.The function of M 2 receptor is still unclear.

The growth and pigment production of 47 strains on casein medium were studied comparatively.T4 and Neurospora crassa AS 3.1602 were selected for their capacity of producing melanin on five different culture media. Melanin produced by T4 was investigated, and T4 was identified as Proteus mirabilis primarily.

Objective To develop an interleukin-4(IL-4) antagonist named M5-IgG1Fc protein constructed by genetic engineering of antibody Fc fragment-cytokine mutein fusion protein which has a long half-life time in plasma.M5-IgG1 Fc protein binds to IL-4 receptor but cannot activate downstream signalling pathway , which provides a basis for drug develop-ment for allergic diseases .Methods The synthesized interleukin-4 mutant gene ( named M5 ) was cloned into the expres-sion vector pBV220 and transformed into E.coli DH5α.Chimeric gene M5-IgG1Fc obtained by overlap extension (SOE) method was transformed into glycoengineered Pichia pastoris GJK01 through expression vector pPICZαA .Then M5-IgGFc fusion protein was obtained by protein purification after being induced by methanol in 72 hours.The anti-IL-4 biologicial ac-tivity assay of M5 and M5-IgG1 Fc was performed with CTLL-2/IL-4R cells and detected with MTT colormetry .Finally,the half-life time of M5 and M5-IgG1 Fc protein in mice was compared by detecting the remaining amount in plasma with ELISA kit.Results The M5 protein expressed in E.coli and M5-IgG1 Fc fusion protein expressed in P.pastoris GJK01 both had IL-4 antagonistic bioactivity .The EC50 of both, which inhibited 5.6 ×10 -2 nmol/ml of IL-4, were 0.31 ±0.05 and 0.77 ± 0.03 nmol/ml,respectively.The maximum of M5 in plasma at 0.5 h was 5.8 ×10 -2 nmol/ml but the remaining amount was 2.8%of the maximum at 2 h.M5 protein could not be detected after administration at 8 h because of the detection line . The maximum of M5-IgG1 Fc fusion protein was 4.7 ×10 -2 nmol/ml,while fusion protein M5-IgG1 Fc decreased to 4.3%of its maximum at 120 h and could not be detected at 168 h.Conclusion M5 protein has IL-4 antagonistic bioactivity .M5-IgG1 Fc fusion protein expressed in glycoengineered P.pastoris GJK01 has IL-4 antagonistic bioactivity and long retention time in mice,which can be potentially used for treatment of allergic diseases .

Objective To study the innervation between baldder and rectum.Methods The retrograde fluorescent double labeling method was used.Propidium Iodide(PI)was injected into the right wall of the rectum of male SD rats and Bisbenzimide(Bb)into their right wall of urinary bladder.Results The fluorescent double labeled neurons were found in the right L6-S3 and L1-L3 dorsal root ganglia(DRG).Conclusion DRG cells at L6-S3 and L1-L3 simultaneously innervate the rectum and the urinary bladder,explaining that the abnormal micturition due to chronic constipation may be caused by axis reflex at the level of the peripheral process of DRG cells.

The clinical and pathological data of 6 patients with urahcal adenocar,cinoma of the bladder admitted in Beijing Luhe Hospital from 1996 to 2016 were analyzed and relevant literature was reviewed.Urachal carcinoma accounted for 0.66% of the bladder cancers admitted at the same period (6/906) and 6/16 of the bladder adenocarcinomas.Painless hematuria was the most common symptom.One patient had extensive metastasis as shown in biopsy and died 6 month after the diagnosis.Two patients underwent partial excision of bladder with no tumor recurrence.One patient underwent partial cystectomy followed by chemotherapy and radiotherapy, recurrence occurred one year later and he then received radical cystectomy.Another 2 patients underwent laparoscopic cystectomy and en bloc resection of umbilical ligament and umbilicus, and no recurrence was found in the follow-up for 6 years and 15 months, respectively.Pathological and immunohistochemistry are essential for the diagnosis of urachal adenocarcinoma.As it is not sensitive to radiotherapy or chemotherapy,surgery is the preferred treatment for patients with early stage diseases.Individual anticancer therapy may be the trend of treatment.

Objective To study the modulation alterations of calcium activated potassium channel (Kca) and calcium activated chloride channels (Clca) on detrusor instability(DI) and their roles in DI. Methods The detrusor instability (DI) animal model was established using female Wistar rats. Detrusor strips were obtained from normal and DI rats. The contraction frequency and amplitude of the strips were measured by an in vitro tension test. The actions of channel openers and blockers were studied. Results Spontaneous contraction frequency and amplitude of DI increased significantly. The block of big conductance calcium activated potassium channel(Bkca) by Iberiotoxin resulted in decrease of frequency but increase of amplitude in the control, but only increase of frequency in DI. The opener, NS1619, resulted in decreases of frequency and amplitude in the control, but only decreases of frequency in DI. The block of small conductance Kca (Skca) by apamin resulted in increases of frequency and amplitude in both control and DI groups, but the opener, Chlorzoxazone, resulted in decreases of frequency and amplitude in the control, but only decrease of frequency in DI. The contraction alterations of DI were significantly lower than those of the control no matter Kca was blocked or opened. NFA, a selective Clca blocker, resulted in no significant frequency and amplitude alteration in the control, but significant decrease in DI. Conclusion These results suggested that Kca and Clca play a critical role in the modulation of detrusor contraction, and the down regulation of Kca and up regulation of Clca suggests that disorder of calcium related regulation may play an important role in DI.

Objective To study the different mRNA expressions of big and small conductance calcium activated potassium channels (Bkca and Skca), and calcium activated chloride channels (Clca) in normal and instable detrusors. Methods Model of bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) of female Wistar rats was prepared by ligating the proximal urethra in the perineum. Detrusor instability (DI) was confirmed by conscious cystometry. The mRNA was extracted from the detrusors of normal and DI rats for the detection of the expressions of Bkca, Skca2, Skca3, and Clca by RT PCR. The different channel expression between normal and instable detrusors was identified by gel imaging. Results The incidence of DI in BOO rats was 76.17%. Bladder capacity and the maximal detrusor pressure increased significantly ( P
