Objective To reveal the effect of fasting insuline(FINS) and insuline resistance(IR) in the process of benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH). Methods One hundred and seventeen outpatients( ≥60 ys)with BPH from geriatric department were enrolled into the study. The patients were divided into groups according to their FINS and insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR). The indices of BPH, including volume of prostate ( PV ),prostate specific antigen( PSA ), international prostate symptom score (IPSS), course of BPH were analyzed in both groups. Results The PV ( [ 56. 46 ± 26. 88 ] ml vs [ 44. 84 ± 17.66 ] ml, P = 0. 017 ) and the course ( [ 18. 00 ± 6. 91 ] years vs [ 13.93 ± 7. 74 ] years, P = 0. 031 ) were significantly greater in BPH combined hyperinsulinemias(HINS) group than the BPH with normal FINS group;but we found no significant differences in the comparisons of serum PSA level or IPSS between two groups. The PV( [54. 17 ± 25.38 ] ml vs [42. 26 ±14. 15]ml,P =0. 004)and the course([ 16.58 ±7. 65] years vs [13.49 ±7. 59] years,P = 0. 036) were also significantly greater in BPH combined insuline resistance gruop than the insulin sensitivity group, again we found no significant differences in the comparisons of serum PSA level or IPSS between two groups. Conclusion FINS and IR are risk factors of progressed BPH and can promote the progress of BPH.

Objective To compare the early renal function recovery after kidney transplant from donation after cardiac death (DCD) and brain death (DBD).Methods The Medline (1950-2011),Embase and Cochrane library database were searched and supplemented by review of conference proceedings and publication bibliographies.All original single institution studies reporting outcomes for DCD and DBD kidney transplant recipients were considered.Odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) based on random effects models were calculated.Results Nine publications,all cohort studies,involving 2049 DCD and 5498 DBD recipients,were included.DCD recipients had 7.24 times increased odds of DGF (OR=7.24,95% CI =3.86-13.58),and 4.97 times increased odds of PNF (95% CI =3.77-6.55).Conclusion DCD renal transplantation is associated with higher risks of DGF and PNF.

Objective To study the effects of melatonin on the expression of endothelin-1 (ET-1) and endothelial nitricoxide synthase (eNOS) in renal cortex of insulin-resistant (IR) rats. Methods Insulin-resistant rat model was established with 6-8 week ages Sprague-Dawwley (SD) rats by high-glucose diet (70% calories from glucose) for 6 weeks. IR rats models were divided into control normal group (CN, n=10), IR group (n=10) and melatonin group (MEL, n=10). Rats in MEL were affused melatonin 10mg/(kg·d) (4PM) for further 6 weeks. The protein and mRNA in rats' renal cortex of each group were assayed by immunohistochemistry and RT-PCR. Results Arterial blood pressure (ABP) and serum triglyceride (TG), free fatty acid (FFA), malondialdehyde (MDA), insulin (Ins) and homeostasis model analysis insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) in MEL were lower than that in IR (all P<0.01). Serum high-density lipoprotein (HDL-c) and superoxide dismutese (SOD) were higher in MEL than that in IR (all P<0.01). HE staining showed that the structure of renal cortex in MEL is approximately normal. The levels of ET-1 protein and mRNA in renal cortex of MEL rats were lower than that in IR group. The levels of eNOS protein and mRNA of renal cortex in MEL group were higher than that in IR group (all P<0.05). Conclusion At the early stage of IR, melatonin application can ameliorate the imbalance between ET-1 and eNOS and protect the angio-endothelial function of renal cortex in high-glucose induced IR rats.

The first metatarsophalangeal joint bending plays an important role in the foot movement. However, the existing researches mainly focused on the movement scope of the joint and the clinical treatments of related foot diseases. In order to investigate the effects of the first metatarsophalangeal joint bending on human walking gait stability, the present researchers recruited 6 healthy young men to perform the first metatarsophalangeal joint constraint (FMJC) and barefoot (BF) walking tests. Data of the temporal and spatial parameters, the joint angles of lower limbs, the ground reaction forces (GRF) and utilized coefficients of friction (UCOF) were collected and analyzed. The results showed that, since hip and knee could produce compensation motions, the FMJC had no significant effects on waking gait, but the slip and fall probability increased significantly.

An extracellar fibrinolytic strain was isolated from fermented shrimp paste. In addition to general physiological and biochemical properties, the strain was identified by 16S rDNA sequence and systematic analysis. The results showed that 16S rDNA sequence of the strain had high similarity with AY601723 and AB195282, suggesting that the strain is a subspecies of Bacillus sp. It was named as Bacillus sp. nov. SK006 by CCTCC. The medium composition and fermentation conditions for fibrinolytic enzyme production were also optimized in the research.

Objective To study normal flora components of conjunctiva, explore the relationship between normal flora and ocu- lar bacterial infections.Methods The data of 1 198 bacterial cultures of conjunctiva in non-infectious cataract patients were re- viewed and compared with the results of 985 specimens of conjunctivitis, keratitis and endophthalmitis from January 2000 to December 2004.Results Positive culture of conjunctiva in non-infectious cataract patients was 628 in 1 198 specimens (52.4%).These bacteria including gram-positive cocci and gram-neganve bacilli constituted the normal flora of conjunctiva. Staphylococcus epidermidis was the predominant bacteria (51.1%, 341/667) and its prevalence increased during this 5-year period.S.epidermidis and S.aureus were also the most frequently isolated pathogens in specimens of conjunctivitis, keratitis and endophthalmitis.The correlation was statistically significant between the positive rate in normal eye and conjunctivitis or keratitis in terms of these two species, but not statistically significant between normal eye and endophthalmitis.The resistance rate of normal flora of conjunctiva to ampicillin, amikacin, tobramycin, ciprofloxacin, and ofloxacin increased year by year. The resistance rate to gentamicin and the combination of two drugs decreased.The changing resistant pattern was similar in pa- tients with eye infection.Conclusions There is a close relationship between the normal flora S.aureus and S.epidermidis of conjunctiva and the bacterial infection of ocular surface, but no significant correlation between normal flora and the pathogen of endophthalmitis.

Objective To monitor the distribution of pathogenic bacteria causing wound infection in trauma patients and their susceptibility to antibiotics in an effort to offer evidence for the rational clinical use of antibiotics.Methods Pathogens were identified by expressive type,but a very few was determined by the molecular methods.Micro-dilution or Kirby-Bauer method for minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was adopted for drug susceptibility test.Results A total of 121 species of pathogens numbering 1,257 bacterial strains were isolated from 1,066 patients.Strain number of the top 10 species accounted for 70.09%.Gram-positive cocci accounted for 48.93% and Gram-negative bacilli for 49.72%.Among Staphylococcus aureus and epidermidis,methicillin-resistant bacterial strains accounted for 34.76% and 71.08% respectively,but none were resistant to vancomycin or linezolid.Enterococcus faecalis contained 6.06% vancomycin-resistant enterococcal (VRE) and remained > 90% sensitive to teicoplanin,ampicilin and vancomycin.Enterococcus faecium contained 10.53% VRE and remained >90% sensitive to teicoplanin and > 80% sensitive to vancomycin.Baumanii contained 12.77% multidrug resistant strains and remained > 70% sensitive to imipenem and meropenem.Baumanii/calcoaceticus complex contained 29.72% multi-drug resistant strains and remained > 50% sensitive to imipenem and meropenem.Pseudomonas aeruginosa contained 3.73% multi-drug resistant strains and remained >90% sensitive to amikacin,meropenem,imipenem and piperacillin/tazobactam.No E.coli,klebsiella pneumoniae and enterobacter cloacae resistant to imipenem or meropenem were found.E.coli contained 69.51% extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs)-producing strains and remained > 90% sensitive to piperacillin/tazobactam and > 80% sensitive to amikacin.Klebsiella pneumoniae contained 53.13% ESBLs-producing strains and remained > 80% sensitive to amikacin.Conclusions Common bacteria are the leading cause of posttraumatic infection.Enterococcus faecalis and enterococcus faecium demonstrate higher susceptibility to teicoplanin; two kinds of acinetobacter demonstrate higher susceptibility to imipenem.
