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

BACKGROUND:The physical properties of macromolecule ocular prosthesis materials, such as density, hardness, mechanical strength, can affect the working accuracy of ocular prosthesis and can also affect the surface roughness of ocular prosthesis, thus affecting the comfort when the patients wear.
OBJECTIVE:To study the differences of different macromolecule ocular prosthesis materials in bubble generation rate, hardness and surface roughness.
METHODS:Thirty-seven test pieces, 30 mm×30 mm×2 mm, were made and then divided to seven groups according to their brands, caled groups A, B, C, D, E, F, G, each group of five pieces. One surface of each test piece was polished in accordance with the principle of coarse to fine, the surface roughness of the two surfaces and hardness on the polished surface were measured, and then the bubble formation rate of the material was calculated.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The surface roughness values of groups A-G were (0.078±0.016), (0.074±0.019), (0.075±0.022), (0.066±0.020), (0.075±0.017), (0.068±0.015), and (0.067±0.017) μm, respectively. There was no significant difference in the surface roughness between the groups (P > 0.05). The hardness values of groups A-G were 766.92±3.71, 771.84±14.51, 791.20±9.64, 804.50±4.49, 779.00±17.92, 772.20±19.18, 704.00±7.23, respectively. There was a significant difference in the hardness between groups D, G and the other groups (P < 0.05) as wel as between group D and group G (P < 0.05), but there was no significant difference between the other groups (P > 0.05). The bubble generation rates of groups A-G were (8.87±0.29)%, (8.29±1.02)%, (6.94±0.43)%, (4.83±0.20)%, (7.59±0.19)%, (8.61±0.25)%, (4.89±0.17)%, respectively. There was a significant difference in the bubble generation rate between groups D, G and the other groups (P < 0.05), but there was no significant difference between group D and group G (P > 0.05), as wel as between the other groups (P > 0.05). To a certain extent, the smaler the bubble formation rate is, the greater the hardness and the smaler the surface roughness are.

Objective:To explore the clinical efficacy, especially the comprehensive improvement of blood glucose and lipid of probucol and metformin in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus with hyperlipidemia. Methods:Totally 105 patients with type 2 di-abetes mellitus complicated with hyperlipidemia were randomly divided into the control group1 (35 cases), the control group 2 (34 ca-ses) and the observation group (36 cases). The control group 1 was treated with diet control, exercise and metformin, the control group 2 was treated with rosuvastatin calclum tablets based on the group 1, and the observation group was treated with probucol based on the group 1. The three groups were continuously treated for 12 weeks. The improvement of the fasting blood-glucose (FPG), 2h postprandial blood glucose (PBG), hemoglobin A1C (HbA1C), fasting insulin levels (Fins), insulin resistance indices (HOMA-IR) and TC, TG and HDL-C, and the adverse reactions among the three groups were compared. Results:The total effective rate in the ob-servation group was higher than that in the control group 1 and 2 (P<0. 05). After the treatment, all the indices of blood glucose and lipid in the three groups were significantly improved (P<0. 05), and those of blood glucose in the observation were better than those in the control group 1 and 2(P<0. 05), those of blood lipid in the observation group and the control group 2 were better than those in the control group 1 (P<0. 05), and the level of HDL-C in the observation group was much higher than that in the control group 2 (P<0. 05). The adverse drug reactions in the three groups were mild without statistical significance (P>0. 05). Conclusion:Probucol as one of lipid-lowing drugs with antioxidant action combined with metformin can improve blood lipid and lower blood glucose at the same time, which is worthy of promoted application in clinics.
