Objective To study the urodynamic characteristics of women with pelvic organ prolapse in prolapse and reset condition. Methods From Jan. 2010 to Apr. 2010, 30 patients with pelvic organ prolapse (POP), including 1 case in grade Ⅰ , 6 cases in grade Ⅱ , 21 cases in grade Ⅲ and 2 cases in grade Ⅳ, treated in Peking University People's Hospital were analyzed their urodynamical changes at status of prolapse and reset with pessary. Results (1)The symptoms: in the prolapse condition, there were 11 patients with bladder outlet obstruction( BOO), 7 patients with residual volume more than 100 ml, and 4 patients with stress urinary incontinence(SUI). In the reset condition, there were 5 patients with BOO,5 patients with residual volume more than 100 ml, and 4 SUI patients. (2) Characteristics of urodynamic:there were significant difference in first desire to void ( FD, P = 0. 047), normal desire to void ( ND, P =0. 007), strong desire to void ( SD, P = 0. 001 ), maximum cystometric capacity ( MCC, P = 0. 001 ),maximum flow rate ( Q=max, P = 0. 001 ), average flow rate ( Q P = 0. 001 ), and residual volume ( RV,P = 0. 025 ) between prolapse and reset condition among all patients. In patients with grade Ⅰ to Ⅱprolapse, Qmax were (11 ±6) ml/s in prolapse condition and (15 ±4) ml/s in reset condition (P =0. 014), Qave were ( 6 ± 4 ) ml/s in prolapse condition and ( 7 ± 3 ) ml/s in reset condition ( P = 0. 237 ),RV were (29 ±46) ml in prolapse condition and (15 ±25) ml in reset condition (P =0. 157). Among patients with grade Ⅲ to Ⅳ prolapse, Qmax were ( 11 ± 8 ) ml/s in prolapse condition and ( 17 ± 10) ml/s in reset condition (P=0.001), Qave were (5 ±4) ml/s in prolapse condition and (7 ±4) ml/s in reset condition ( P = 0. 002 ), RV were ( 105 ± 169 ) ml in prolapse condition and (47 ± 92) ml in reset condition (P = 0. 037 ). Conclusions Patients with pelvic organ prolapse Ⅲ - Ⅳ may present pseudo BOO,recessive stress urinary incontinence and residual volume more than 100 ml. There were significant improvement in cystometric sensation, capacity, flow rate, and residual volume after reset. The urodynamic test for patients with pelvic organ prolapse in the reset condition might be much better in evaluating lower urinary tract function.

The beta-secretase is one of prospective targets against Alzheimer's disease (AD). A three-dimensional quan titative structure-activity relationship (3D-QSAR) model of Hydroethylamines (HEAs) as beta-secretase inhibitors was established using Topomer CoMFA. The multiple correlation coefficient of fitting, cross validation and external validation were r2 = 0.928, q(loo)2 = 0.605 and r(pred)2 = 0.626, respectively. The 3D-QSAR model was used to search R groups from ZINC database as the source of structural fragments. As a result, a series of R groups with relatively high activity contribution was obtained to design a total of 15 new compounds, with higher activity than that of the template molecule. The molecular docking was employed to study the interaction mode between the new compounds as ligands and beta-secretase as receptors, displaying that hydrogen bond and hydrophobicity played important roles in the binding affinity between the new compounds and beta-secretase. The results showed that Topomer CoMFA and To pomer Search could be effectively used to screen and design new molecules of HEAs as beta-secretase inhibitors, and the designed compounds could provide new candidates for drug design targeting AD.

Objective To investigate the relationship between expression of mucin1 (MUC1) and tumor invasion in pituitary adenomas.Methods The expression of MUC1 was detected by immunohistochemical analysis in 26 tissues of invasive pituitary adenoma and 29 of non-invasive pituitary adenoma.Results The expression of MUC1 in invasive pituitary adenomas tissues was 76.92 ％ (20/26).It was weakly positive or negative in non-invasive pituitary adenoma tissues,and the positive rate was 27.57 ％ (8/29).There was significant difference in two groups (x2 =13.35,P ＜ 0.01).The expression of MUC1 in functional pituitary adenomas was 44.82 ％ (13/35) and was 75.00 ％ (15/20) in non-functional pituitary adenomas.There were no significant difference in two groups (x2 =6.13,P ＞ 0.01).Conclusions Over-expression and aberrant localization of MUC1 in invasive pituitary adenoma may act as distinguishing diagnostic markers of invasive pituitary adenoma.MUC1 might be as the target of immunotherapy of invasive pituitary adenoma.

Aim To study the absorption mechanism of apigenin-7-O-glucronide, 3,4-Dihydroxycinnamic acid and chlorogenic acid in Erigeron breviscapus extract ( Ebe) by Caco-2 cell monolayer model. Methods The three active ingredients were quantified by UPLC-MS/MS method, and the effect of Ebe concentrations, conveying times, pH values and P-glycoprotein inhibi-tor on the transport of three active ingredients were also investigated. Results Apigenin-7-O-glucronide and chlorogenic acid in Caco-2 cell monolayer model were time-dependent and concentration-dependent. The 3, 4-Dihydroxycinnamic acid in Caco-2 cell uptake was concentration-saturate and P-glycoprotein inhibitor was involved in the uptake process. Conclusion The mechanism of apigenin-7-O-glucronide and chlorogenic acid absorption in cells is mainly through passive trans-port, and the absorption of 3, 4-Dihydroxycinnamic acid is mainly realized by the carrier transport.

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics, the antenatal management, the outcome and prognosis of chronic myeloproliferative disorders (CMPD) complicating pregnancy. Methods Retrospectively analyze the clinical data of eleven patients with CMPD complicating pregnancy hospitalized in Peking University People' s Hospital from 2000 to 2009, including five patients with essential thrombocythemia, one with primary myelofibrosis and five with chronic myeloid leukemia. Results (1)Five pregnancies had periodic antenatal care and laboratory monitorings like full blood count. Reasonable anti-coagulation therapy was given to prevent the complications. One patient with PMF diagnosed before conception had her first pregnancy ended with mild pre-eclampsia and intrauterine death at the gestational age of 32 weeks. During the first trimester of her second pregnancy two years later, the test for anti-β2 glycoprotein antibody was positive. She received low-dose aspirin and low-molecular-weight heparin as anticoagulants. An uneventful course was obtained and she delivered a healthy term infant. (2) Five pregnancies had occasional antenatal examination, including two patients with ET and three patients with CML One patient with ET developed severe pre-eclampsia at the gestational age of 25 weeks. Umbilical artery Doppler showed reversed end-diastolic velocity. The management with anti-convulsants, antihypertensives and anti-coagulants showed no effect. An emergency cesarean section had to be performed because of the aggressive hypertension and placental abruption, with still birth as a result. Two pregnancies never had an antenatal care. Both of them were admitted on labor and the diagnoses of CML were made. (3)Four pregnancies developed oligohydramnios and three developed preelampsia(two severe pre-eclampsia and one mild pre-eclampsia). There was no other hemorrhage and thrombosis event. (4) Eight pregnancies reached full-term with four cesarean sections and four vaginal births. Two preterm cesarean sections were performed because of a progressive oligohydramnios. The ten live neonates weighed 1820 - 3600 g. All were appropriate for gestational age, except one fetal growth retardation (FGR) developed in one patient with severe pre-eclampsia. (5) As for the CMPD, the eleven patients were all in stable conditions. Three patients with CML received hydroxyurea in the third trimester, four with ET and one with CML had plateletpheresis before delivery with favorable effect. All patients were uneventful postpartum, except one with CML who died in 5 months after childbirth. Conclusions The pregnancy outcomes for patients with CMPD are mostly good. However, antenatal care should pay more attention to the complications such as thromboembolic accidents, pre-eclampsia, still birth and fetal growth retardation. Management including reasonable anticoagulation therapy should be considered, which may help improve the prognosis.

Objective To observe the impact of coal-burning-borne fluorosis on the opening day of vagina,and estrogen cycle and endocrinology of female rat.Methods Ninety weaned two weeks and healthy female SD rats,weighing 60-80 g were selected,and divided into three groups by body weight using random number table:control group,moderate fluoride exposed group,and higher fluoride exposed group,thirty rates in each group.Rats in fluoride exposed groups were fed with baked corn collected from coal-burning-borne fluorosis areas containing different levels of fluorine(fluorine contents were 47.8 and 96.0 mg/kg,respectively) to establish coal-burning-borne fluorosis models.The corn fed to control group rats were collected from non-endemic areas (fluoride content was 5.2 mg/kg).After exposed to fluoride for 60,120 and 180 days,the rats were put to death during estrus in three batches (10 rats in every batche).The situation of female vaginal opening was observed and recorded every morning at 8:00 at the beginning of the experiment.Ten female rats in each group were randomly selected to observe vaginal exfoliated cells for 10 days continuously every morning,and HE staining was selected to discriminate estrogen cycle.Femoral artery blood was collected to observe the impact of estradiol(E2) in estrus.Results The vaginal opening day age of the longer fluoride exposed group [(49.0 ± 4.5)d] was longer than that of the control group[(45.4 ± 2.3)d] and the moderate fluoride exposed group[(46.7 ± 1.9)d,all P ＜ 0.05].Estrogen cycle of the longer fluoride exposed group[(5.8 ± 0.8)d] after fluoride exposure for 120 d was higher than that of the control group [(4.4 + 0.9)d] and the moderate fluoride exposed group [(4.9 ± 0.7)d,all P ＜ 0.05].Estrogen cycle increased with increasing dosage of fluoride after fluoride exposure for 180 d in three groups [control group:(4.3 ± 0.7)d,moderate fluoride exposed group:(5.4 ± 1.1)d,higher fluoride exposed group:(6.7 + 0.9)d,all P ＜ 0.05].Estrogen cycle in higher fluoride exposed group at 180 d[(6.7 ± 0.9)d] was higher than that of 60 d and 120 d[(5.2 ± 1.1),(5.8 ± 0.8)d,all P ＜ 0.05].At 60 d after exposed to fluoride,E2 levels of fluoride exposed groups were increased[control group:(30.125 ± 94.17)ng/L,moderate fluoride exposed group:(438.75 ± 71.80) ng/L],higher fluoride exposed group (456.25 ± 57.80)ng/L with increasing dosage of fluoride (all P ＜ 0.05).E2 level in rats exposed to fluoride for 180 d [(275.00 ± 127.83)ng/L] was lower than that of 60 d and 120 d [(456.25 ± 57.80),(392.50 ± 102.50)ng/L,all P ＜ 0.05] in higher fluoride exposed groups.Conclusions Coal-burning-borne fluorosis has a significant effect on vaginal opening day age,estrogen cycle and endocrinology of female rats.The higher the fluoride dose,and the longer the exposure time,the more severe the impact.

ObjectiveTo study the methods of how to protect facial nerve function following complete resection of acoustic neurinomas and the value of the techniques of F wave assisted electrophysiological monitoring intraoperatively.Methods Retrospectivelysummarizing theresultsof combining three electrophysiological monitoring techniques such as nasal muscle F wave recording,online EMG and triggered EMG to monitor 46 cases of microoperations for acoustic neurinomas intraoperatively during the period of Feb.2004 to Dec. 2008. Correlating every intraoperative monitoring index with their follow-up results of facial nerve function 1 day and 6 months after their operations.The tendency of the two continuous monitoring techniques between nasal F wave recording and online EMG of facial muscles has also been studied in this paper. Results Among 46 cases of acoustic neurinomas, 45(97.83 %) tumors have been totally resected, and 1 (2.17 %) tumor subtotally resected,lcase (2.17 %)died after operation,and 2ases occurred the leakage of cerebrospinal fluid(CSF) which have been cured through conservative treatment. The whole anatomic protection rate of facial nerve is 97.83 %,and their functional protection rates 6 months after operation are:HB Ⅰ - Ⅱ,75.56 %;Ⅲ-Ⅳ,22.22 % and Ⅴ-Ⅵ,2.22 %.The completely accordant rate between the intraoperative findings of nasal F wave recording and online EMG is 52.17 %, partially accordant rate is 45.65 %, and totally opposite rate is 2.17 % (x2 趋势= 6.113, P ＜0.05). The intraoperative monitoring indexes in nasal muscle F wave recording are correlated well with the facial nerve function in the 6th month' s follow-up (κ=0.429, P ＜0.001).In triggered EMG monitoring after tumors being resected,the stimulus threshold ratio and maximum amplitude ratio of facial nerve between leaving brain stem part and inner acoustic porus part are also correlated well with the facial nerve function 6 months after operation(κ=0.576, P ＜0.001; κ=0.595, P ＜0.001). ConclusionNasal muscle F wa recording cooperated well with online EMG and triggered EMG intraoperatively and correlates well with the postoperative facial nerve function, so they should be routinely applied together intraoperatively.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the corrosion resistant properties of titanium samples prepared by anodic oxidation with different surface morphologies.

METHODSPure titanium substrates were treated by anodic oxidation to obtain porous titanium films in micron, submicron, and micron-submicron scales. The surface morphologies, coating cross-sectional morphologies, crystalline structures, and surface roughness of these samples were characterized. Electrochemical technique was used to measure the corrosion potential (Ecorr), current density of corrosion (Icorr), and polarization resistance (Rp) of these samples in a simulated body fluid.

RESULTSPure titanium could be modified to exhibit different surface morphologies by the anodic oxidation technique. The Tafel curve results showed that the technique can improve the corrosion resistance of pure titanium. Furthermore, the corrosion resistance varied with different surface morphologies. The submicron porous surface sample demonstrated the best corrosion resistance, with maximal Ecorr and Rp and minimal Icorr.

CONCLUSIONAnodic oxidation technology can improve the corrosion resistance of pure titanium in a simulated body fluid. The submicron porous surface sample exhibited the best corrosion resistance because of its small surface area and thick barrier layer.

The Decoction showed marked effect on manykinds of Icterus Neonatorum,Estimation on the activi-ty of superoxide dimutase,lipoperoxide,enzymes ofRBC,were made through histochemical staining andresistance of RBC membrane.Results revealed thatthe remedy has distinctive protective action on cellmembrane of RBC.
