Objective To evaluate and compare the therapeutic effects of suprapubic transvesical prostatectomy (SPPC), Madigan prostatectomy (MPC) and transurethral electrovaporization ablation prostatectomy (TUVP) for the treatments of symptomatic BPH. Methods 216 symptomatic BPH patients randomly underwent SPPC(n=87), MPC(n=45) or TUVP(n=84) respectively and their therapeutic effects were evaluated. Results There are significant improvements in symptoms and physical signs in each group after operation. The morbidity rates of post-operative complications in SPPC,MPC and TUVP were 31 0%,11 1%,13 1% respectvely. SPPC group showed the longest average operative time and the most blood loss, both of which were the least in TUVP group. Conclusions SPPC was the most effective among the three procedures, but the trauma of SPPC to the patient was the most. Complication of MPC was the least. TUVP was the safest procedure with the least injury.

OBJECTIVETo establish a method to produce virus-like particles (VLP) of poliovirus type I in Saccharomy cescerevisiae to develop potential novel recombinant vaccine against poliovirus type 1.

METHODSThe genes of P1 and 3CD of poliovirus type I were optimized, synthesized and inserted into expression vector, which was further transfected into Saccharomy cescerevisiae. The extracts of yeast cells were purified by CsCl density gradient centrifugation after induction and cell lysis.

RESULTSElectrophoresis and sequencing analyses showed that the genes P1 and 3CD of poliovirus type I were successfully inserted into expression vector and encode a protein whose amino acid sequences were identical with wide-type genes of poliovirus type I. Electronic microscopy analysis showed that the VLPs of poliovirus type I could be efficiently formed in Saccharomy cescerevisiae.

CONCLUSIONThe VLPs of poliovirus type I could be efficiently produced by co-expression of P1 and 3CD genes in Saccharomy cescerevisiae.

objective: To investigate the effects of cerium oxide content on the color of alumina glass composite. Methods: Infiltration glass powder with different content of cerium oxide (1%～4%) were fabricated. Alumina glass composite was prepared by infiltrating molten glass into presintered alumina block at 1 250 ℃ for 2 h, and the color of the alumina glass composite were measured with Minolta chromatic instrument(CR 321) . For comparison, the color of VITA In Ceram alumina technical shade guide was recorded too. Results: After infiltration, the b * range of the alumina glass composite was in accord with that of the shade guide. With the increasing content of the cerium oxide, a *, b * and chroma increased, L * decreased, the hue of the alumina glass composite shifted from yellow green to yellow red. Conclusion: Cerium oxide may effectively enhance b * of the alumina glass composite, but its ability of reducing L * and enhancing a * is weak.

Objective To explore the relationship of therapeutic compliance and complications in children with severeβ-thalassemia.Method One hundred and eight children with severeβ-thalassemia involved in the survey using convenient sampling to investigate the relationships between compliances with blood transfusion and iron removal treatment and complications.Results Of all the patients,66 complied with blood transfusion and the rest 42 did not;73 complied with the therapy and the rest 35 did not. Those complying with the blood transfusion had significant lower rates of developmental retardation,unusual faces,hepatosplenomegaly(P<0.01). Those complying with the therapy had significant lower rates of injuries in liver,heart and endocrinal system(P<0.01).Conclusion Therapeutic compliance in children with severeβ-thalassemia is at lower level so that the incidence of complications in them is higher.

Objective: To study the effects of betaxolol hydrochloride (BH) cationic liposomes on intraocular pressure (IOP), blood pressure ( BP) and heart rate ( HR) in rabbits to lay foundation for the development of new BH eye preparations. Methods:N-trimethyl chitosan (TMC60) was used as the coating material, the BH-loaded cationic liposomes (TMC60-BHL) were prepared. Total-ly 24 healthy rabbits were randomly divided into 4 groups using number method. Unilateral carotid artery intubation was carried out in the rabbits and connected a physiological recorder. TMC60-BHL, uncoated BHL, the marketed BH eye drops ( the positive control) and sterilized distilled water ( the negative control) with the volume of 50 μl was respectively used in one eye of the rabbits. IOP was detected by an ophthalmotonometer, and BP and HR were determined by the physiological recorder at the predetermined time intervals. Results:In the ipsilateral eyes, the maximum decrease in IOP for uncoated BHL and TMC60-BHL was 23. 00% and 26. 65%, respec-tively. In the contralateral eyes, the maximum decrease in IOP for uncoated BHL and TMC60-BHL was 18. 54% and 24. 33%, respec-tively. Compared with that of the positive control (19. 01%,15. 19%), the IOP decrease effect of uncoated BHL and TMC60-BHL was significant higher(P<0. 05), and that of TMC60-BHL was the highest(P<0. 05). BP and HR were both reduced in the various BH groups, while there was no notable difference when compared with those in the negative group(P>0. 05). Conclusion:TMC60-BHL shows significant IOP decrease effect without notable effect on BP and HR, which is valuable to be studied further.
