Objective To evaluate the role of different kinds of nitric oxide synthase(NOS)in the growth and angiogenesis of bladder transitional cell carcinoma. Methods Bladder transitional cell carcinoma tissue specimens were procured from 25 patients undergoing cystectomy, and compared with 6 normal bladder tissue specimens from donors in renal transplantation. Immunohistochemical staining was performed to detect the expression of 3 kinds of NOS. Results The malignant epithelial cells showed strong positive on immunohistochemistry whereas normal bladder showed only a weak positive iNOS immunostaining. The endothelial cells of precapillary vessels in the stroma of carcinoma showed a highly positive endothelial NOS (eNOS) immunostaining as compared with the stroma of normal bladder tissue. The expression of neuronal NOS(nNOS) was found in fibers in the fibromuscular stroma of the two groups. Conclusions Bladder transitional carcinoma tissue had a higher content of iNOS and which might be related to the genesis and development of bladder carcinoma.

Objective: To investigate the content of ethylparaben in potassium chloride solution.Methods: According to the guidance for antibacterial effect test stated in Chinese Pharmacopoeia(the 4th volume of 2015 edition), 5 standard bacterial strains including Staphylococcus aureus,Escherichia coli,Pseudomonas aeruginosa,Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger were used as the challenging strains.Using the logarithm decrease of bacteria number as the index, the antimicrobial effectiveness of ethylparaben at different concentrations was studied to screen out the optimal concentration in the solution.Results: The growth of the 5 standard bacterial strains was inhibited effectively by potassium chloride solution containing 0.05% ethylparaben, which was also the minimum effective concentration.Conclusion: 0.05% Ethylparaben is suitable as the bacteriostatic agent for potassium chloride solution.

Objective To understand the health effects and indoor air pollution caused by house decoration in Shizuichan city, Ningxia province. Methods 67 households which were newly decorated were chosen in the different districts of the city. 15days, one month, two months, three months, five months, six months after the decoration finished, formaldehyde, ammonia, benzene, radon in the indoor air were monitored and the questionnaire investigation was conducted. Results After two months, ammonia concentration reached the national standard limit. After 15 days, one month, two months, the rates of exceed limit of formaldehyde were 74.62%, 65.15% and 65.67% respectively, after 3 months ( in June), it was 90.62% and after 6 months, it was 71.21%. After 6 months, benzene concentration decreased slowly. The prevalence rates of throat, eye stimulation, fatigue and so on increased as the pollutants level increased. Conclusion In the investigated city, 6 months after the decoration finished, the indoor air pollution was still serious, which indicates it is not safe to move into those newly decorated rooms, even if after 6 months.

Objective To study the expression of EI-1 in myocardium during cerebral ischemia and reper-fusion, and to investigate the mechanism of cerebral cardiac syndrome. Method Two hundred and eight SD rats weighting 220～250 gram, were divided into three groups: sham control group (n=48), cerebral ischemia group (n=80), cerebral ischemia/reperfusion group (n=80). The area of cerebral ischemia, and the concentration of sennn ET-1 and CK-MB, and the content of myocardial ET-1 were determined in 0,6, 12,24,48,72 h after cerebral ischemia and reperfusion, and were analyzed by t-test or F-test. Results Cerebral necrosis area was ob-served at 6 h after cerebral ischemia in cerebral ischemia group, and peaked at 12 h (P>0.05). The concentra-tion of CK-MB increased gradually after cerebral ischmia, peaked at 12 h (P<0.05), and then gradually de-creased. The serum concentration of ET-1 peaked at 6 h and then gradually decreased. The content of ET-1 in my-ocardium began to increase at 6 h after cerebral ischemia, and peaked at 12 h (P<0.05). In cerebral ischemia/reperfusion group, all of cerebral necrosis size, CK-MB concentration and myocardial ET-1 concent paelced at 12 h and then gradually decreased (P<0.05). Change of ET-1 concentration in blood was similar to that in cerebral ischemia group. Compared with cerebral ischemia group, the size of cerebral necrosis reduced obviously at 24 h,48 h,72 h in cerebral ischemia/reperfusion group (P<0.05). The concentration of CK-MB in cerebral ischemia/ reperfusion group was higher than that in cerebral isehemia group (P<0.05). The peak time of myocardial ET-1 was shatened in cerebral ischemia/reperfusion group. The change of serum ET-1 was not different between two groups. Conclusions Large area of cerebral ischemia, might cause myocardial injury. ET-1 is involved in the course of myocardial injury following cerebral ischemia. Though cerebral reperfusion can protect brain,but it make myocardial injury more serious,and ET-1 might participate in this course.

Objective To explore the mechanism by which recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) protects liver function and alleviates portal hypertension in rats with liver cirrhosis. Methods Male S.D. rats with thioacetamide-induced liver cirrhosis were randomly assigned to receive separately normal saline (NS, 0.5 ml) or rhGH(333 ng/kg body weight) daily by subcutaneous injection for up to 7 days. After the respective treatments, changes of GH-binding capacity (R T), GHRmRNA, relative content of collagen (RCC), malon-dialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD) in liver tissue, serum albumin and ALT and portal vein pressure (PVP) were examined. Results R T (fmol/mg protein) of GHR was respectively 31?4, 40?7(P

Objective To explore the metabolic characteristic of prostate cancer (PCa) in central gland with magnetic resonance (MR) spectroscopic, and evaluate the value of MRS in the differential diagnosis of benign prostatic hyperplasia nodus. Methods MR images were performed in 38 cases with prostate disease by 3.0T MR, 11 cases with PCa in central gland and 27 cases with benign prostatic hyperplasia nodus. All the cases were scanned by routine, then by the combined MRS. MRS findings were reviewed in 27 cases with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and 11 cases with PCa (3 in central gland origin, 8 with large tumor invading both peripheral zone and central gland). (Cho+Cr)/Cit ratios of PCa and BPH were retrospectively measured, (Cho+Cr)/Cit of PCa voxels were compared with that of BPH voxels. Results Significantly higher choline levels and lower citrate levels were observed in central gland of PCa compared with BPH. In the glandular BPH region, the amount of Cit was high; while in the stromal region, the Cit and Cho level was much lower. The average (Cho+Cre)/Cit values of PCa and BHP were 1.94±1.43 and 0. 83±0. 28 respectively, the difference in ratio between both was statistically significant (P＜0. 01). Conclusions The combined use of MRI and MR spectroscopy is propitious for differentiating prostate cancer in central gland and benign prostatic hyperplasia nodus and for increasing the diagnostic accuracy of prostate cancer.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of dorsal onlay buccal mucosa urethro-plasty for the treatment of long anterior urethral stricture. Methods From October 2005 to SeDtem-ber 2007,57 patients(17-52 years old)underwent buccal mucosal dorsal onlay urethroplastv for the treatment of anterior urethral stricture.The mean urethral stricture length was 3.0cm(2.5-7.0 cm).Previously,29(51%)patients had experienced one direct vision internal urethrotomy(DVIU),20(35%)patients had accepted twice DVIU and 8(14%)patient had 3 times DVIU for the treatment of urethral stricture.All patients recurred urethral stricture after DVIU.The length of urethral stric-ture was measured by combined retrograde urethrography and voiding cystourethrography before ure-throplasty.All patients accepted urethroplasty at more than 6 months after last failed surgery.Buccal mucosa was harvested from right cheek.The urethra was exposed and dors'al side was rotated to out-side. A longitudinal incision was made on urethra. Buccal mucosal free grafts were sutured to the open edges of urethra with 6-0 absorbable suture. 1 8 F silicon fenestrated urethral catheter was Dlaced and kept for 4 weeks. Urethrography was used at 4 weeks and 3 months after the urethroplastv,and thenevery 6 months to evaluate the urethral recovery.Dysuria and urethral caliber less than 1 6 F which was confirmed by urethrography and urethroscopy were regarded as stricture recurrence. Resuits The mean fellow-up time were 11.2 months(1-23 months).Fifty-four(95%) patients remained stricture free.Three(5%)patients recurred at the 2 to 3 months after the operation and were treated with DVIU.Three patients had wound infection and recovered without other complication.There was no fistula,diverticulum in all patients.The pain of cheek lasted for 2 5 days(average 2.3 days).No case had hypoesthesia of cheek,obstruction of stenseffs duct or cheek scar.Conclusions Dorsal on-1ay buccal mucosal urethroplasty for long anterior urethral stricture provides stable results with few and acceptable complications.

Objective To study and analyze the cause, prevention and treatment for complications in patients with serious hypospadias repaired by one-stage urethroplasty. Methods From 1987 to 2002,275 patients with serious hypospadias were repaired by one-stage urethroplasty, there were 35 cases had complications. The classifications were penoscrotal 148 cases, scrotal 95 cases and perineal 32 cases. The lengths of new urethras were from 3.0 to 8.4 cm, the mean was (4.1?0.7) cm. Thirty-two cases were received endocrinotherapy before urethroplasty. Results The rate of complications was 12.7% for 1～3 years following survey. There were urethral fistulas 24 cases (8.7%),urethral strictures 6 (2.2%), diverticulums 3 (1.1%), chordees 2 (0.7%).The rate of urethral fistulas was the first and urethral stricture was the second, they were higher than those of other complications (P

Objective To observe the effects of kidney-supplementing TCM on the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) expression of rats with kidney-deficiency constitution;To discuss the correlation between functional activity of neurons in hippocampus with the theory of kidney storing aspiration.MethodsComposite rat models with offspring deficiency and acquired dystrophy were built through the method of “cats scare rats”, and then were divided into model group,Zuogui Pill group,Yougui Pill group, and blank group in which offspring came from normal pregnant rats. After the treatment with kidney-supplementing TCM, weight of brain and kidney, brain weight indexes and the BDNF expression were detected.Results Compared with the blank group, the quality of brain, kidney and brain weight indexes, BDNF expression decteased of rats in model group were lower;flaky edema appeared in hippocampus observed by microscope;the number of nerve cells decreased and loosely structured. After the treatment of kidney-supplementing TCM, the weight of brain and kidney and brain weight indexes recovered to some extent;BDNF expression increased;nerve cells in cerebral cortexincluding hippocampus increased;the cell structure compacted and the level cleared as well as no edema.Conclusion The BDNF expression has correlation with the theory of kidney storing aspiration. Kidney-supplementing TCM can improve brain function and significantly improve declining situation of brain function of rats with kidney-deficiency constitution.

ObjectiveTo discuss the correlation between kidney-deficiency constitution and brain function decline, and material basis of kidney-storing-spirit theory and neurobiology mechanism. Methods By employing the method of “cats scare rats”, composite offspring rat models with deficiency and acquired dystrophy were built, then they were divided into model group,ZuoguiPill group and Yougui Pill group. Blank group was composed from normal pregnant rats. When the intimidation of offspring began,Zuogui Pill andYougui Pill groups received gavage with corresponding doses of medicine, 1 times per day for 2 consecutive months. Model and blank groups received the same amount of normal saline. Exercise capacity was detected by suspension test. Learning and memory capacity was detected by Y maze test. Expressions of NMDA receptor subunits NR2A and NR2B were detected by immunohistochemical method.Results In suspension test, the duration of model group was shorter than blank group (P<0.05), while duration ofZuogui Pill andYougui Pill groups was longer than the model group (P<0.05). In Y maze test, the correct number of model group was less than blank group, and increased significantly after treatment (P<0.05). The optical density of NR2A and NR2B was lower in model group than blank group (P<0.05) and higher inZuogui Pill andYougui Pill groups than model group (P<0.05).ConclusionThe neurobehavioral is abnormal and NMDA receptor expression depresses in rats with kidney- deficiency constitution.ZuoguiPill andYouguiPill can rise NMDA receptor expression and improve brain function of rats, which reveal the correlation between kidney-deficiency constitution and brain function decline, and material basis of kidney-storing-spirit theory and neurobiology mechanism.
