500 mg,frequency was reduced in rats treated with tamsulosin (P500 mg,and the combined ?1a/?1dAR antagonist tamsulosin reduces urinary frequency more than the ?1aAR selective antagonist 5MU.This finding supports the hypothesis that the ?1dAR is important in mediating irritative symptoms.

Objective Mapping the responsible gene for congenital nuclear cataract in a family for five generations in Yantai City,Shandong Province,China.Methods Family history and clinical data were recorded.9 unaffected members and 13 affected members in this family were involved in the study.The genes of all the involved members were amplified by polymerase chain reaction(PCR).28 microsatellite polymorphism in the 15 reported disease loci were used as genetic markers.The PCR products from each DNA sample were separated on a 6% polyacrylamide gel and analyzed.Allele-sharing analysis was carried out for exclusion,and linkage analysis was calculated with the LINKAGE(Version 5.1)package.Direct sequencing was used for GJA3 gene.Results The clinical phenotype in this family was isolated congenital nuclear cataract,the pathogenic nutation of the phenotype of which has not been reported yet.For all the 28 markers around the 15 candidate loci,there was no allele-sharing between the affected family members.At the 0.00 recombination frequency,the LOD score was-∝ in 27 of the 28 microsatellite markers with exception of D11S898.No GJA3 gene mutation was found.It indicated that there was no linkage between these markers and the pathogenic gene in this family.Conclusion The responsible gene for the congenital nuclear cataract in this family is not located on the 15 reported loci,which further indicates the clinically and genetically heterogeneity of inherited cataract,and an important clue is provided for finding more cataract responsible genes.The pathogenic gene in this family should be identified through extensive scanning of genes.

Objective To study the effect of extract of leave ginkgo biloba (EGb) for protection of the motor and sensory neurons axotomy-induced in rats. Methods Thirty male Sprague-Dawley rats weighing 180- 220 g (8- 9 weeks of age), were randomly divided into control group and EGb24/6 group. Models of sciatic nerve injury were established by transection of left sciatic nerve at 0.5 cm away from the points of muscular innervation. The proximal stump of sciatic nerve was double ligated to inhibit nerve regeneration. The distal end of the nerve was implanted into the biceps femoris. Then 2 ml of normal saline was given to control group, and 2 ml of EGb24/6 to the EGb24/6 groups daily. The rats were sacrificed in 7,14,28 days after surgery respectively, and then 4% paraformaladehyde was perfused transcardially. The L4- 6 spinal cord and L5 dorsal root ganglion (DRG) were harvested. HE staining and CV technique were used for detection of the motor neurons and compared with contra-lateral side. TUNEL technique was used for detection of apoptotic motor and sensory neurons. Eletron microscopic technique was used for observation of change of L5 DRG neurons. Result The number of motor neurons was significantly higher in EGb24/6 group in each postoperative period than that in control group (P

Enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) is widely accepted as one of the most economical and sustainable processes to remove phosphorus from wastewater.Poor performance or complete failure of EBPR processes has been substantially reported because of the proliferation of glycogen-accumulating organisms (GAOs) in the system.This paper presented the GAOs' metabolic mechanism and the impact factors, such as influent substrate, P/C ratio, pH value, temperature and SRT, on competition between GAOs and PAOs to better understand GAOs' characteristics and improve the performance and reliability of EBPR systems.

Objective:To study the ultrastructure changes of osteosarcoma cells(OS-732) inactivated by alcohol of two different concentrations and clinical application value.Methods:Osteosarcoma cells(OS-732) were inactivated by 75% and 95% alcohol and observed by light and electron microscope.And its viability was detected by MTT method. Results:Cell internal structure changed significantly and irreversible damage formed. MTT method proved that inactivated cells had no viability.Conclusion:These two inactivation methods were effective. Cell internal enviroment was damaged very seriously and cell was led to death. These two inactivation methods could provide choices for clinical limb protective operation.

Objective To compare the effects of nitinol alloy memorial stent with silastic tube in treating the stenosis of the rabbit.Methods 16 rabbits with external ear canal(EEC) stenosis were randomly divided into two groups.One group was implanted with skin on the EEC wound while the other not.By self-comparison method nitinol alloy memorial stem was implanted in a rabbit's one ear and the silastic tube in the other.After days 5,15,30,and 60 later,the diameters of the external ear canal (with two materials planted) were measured respectively in the skin-planting group.In the naked group scar tissues were harvested and tested separately according to the planting material.HE coloration were used to study fibroblast hyperplasty while RT-PCR were applied to detecting the TGFβ1mRNA expression.The two brackets were compared according to their effect to scar hyperplasty.Results The EEC diameters using nitinol alloy memorial stem were found more spacious than using silastic tube.HE coloration showed the fibroblast hyperplasia was more mitigatory by using the nitinol alloy memorial stent.RT-PCR also found the TGFβ1mRNA expression was low by using same material.Conclusion The nitinol alloy memorial stent shows obvious superiority over silastic tube in external ear canal stenosis therapy.

Purpose To observe exogenous epidermal growth factor (EGF) influence upon sensory neurons axotomy-induced and change ultra-structure of sensory. Methods Eighteen male Sprague-Dawely rats weighing 180-200 g(8-9 weeks of age)were randomly divided into two groups.One as control,the other was treated with EGF.Sciatic nerve injury model was set up by transecting left side sciatic nerve at 0.5 cm away from performed muscle.The proximal stump of sciatic nerve was ligated to inhibit nerve regeneration.Then 5 μl of normal saline in the control groups and an equal volume of EGF solution (containing 10 μg EGF) in the EGF treated groups were injected into the proximal of ligated nerve.The rats were sacrificed in 7,14,28 days of operative intervals respectively and transcardialy perfused with 4% para-fromaladehyde.The L5 dorsal root ganglion(DRG) were harvested.Eletromicroscope technique was used to observe the changes of L5 DRG sensory neurons axotomy-induced. Results A series of changes happened in the control group.The size of the nucles decreased.Nucleoplasm was scattered.The nucleolus was pale.Edema,loss of crest and matrix was found in the mitochondria. Satellite cells detached from the soma.The ultrastructure of L5 DRG sensory neurons in EGF groups get near to normal following nerve injury. Conclusions EGF could protect sensory neurons.

The peak level of growth hormone (GH) stimulated by insulin tolerance test (ITT) is thegold standard for diagnosis of growth hormone deficiency in adults.This study was aimed to explore the factors influencing GH response to ITT in 50 healthy adults.The results showed that the nadir or decreased amplitude of blood glucose was not related to GH peak level.In multivariable analysis,the GH level stimulated by ITT was negatively associated with body mass index(P<0.01),but there was no any association with age,gender,and waist circumference.

Objective To evaluate factors which maintain the stability of the ankle, and discuss indications for trans-syndesmotic fixation. Methods 12 freshly-frozen cadaver legs amputated below the knee were collected and divided into 2 groups. An ankle fracture model of unconstrained pronation-external rotation was then designed. Group A simulated the injury combined with medial malleolus fracture, and Group B the injury combined with deltoid tear. Ligaments were cut off sequentially to simulate the increasing severity of the injury. Fuji super low-pressure sensitive films and displacement transducers were used to measure the contact area of the tibiotalar articular surface and the width of the syndesmosis. The data were analyzed with SPSS to analyze the relationship of ligament injury and ankle stability. Results In Group A, the articular contact area and the syndesmotic width after section of the deltoid were significantly different from those before the section (P
