Objective To investigate the effect of hyperphosphatemia on type Ⅱa sodium dependent phosphate cotransporter (NaPi-2)mRNA expression in the kidneys of 5/6 nephrectomized (STNx)rats and evaluate the interference of Renagel. Methods Forty-two male Sprague-Dawley rats underwent 5/6 nephrectomy or sham operation. The animals were then divided into seven groups: (1)STNx+high-Pi diet(HP) group (1.2%P); (2)STNx+low-Pi diet(LP) group(0.2%P); (3)STNx+ normal-Pi diet (NP) group; (4)STNx+HP+Renagel-treated (Ren)group; (5)sham+HP group; (6) sham+LP group; (7)sham+NP group. Serum ionized calcium (iCa) , phosphorus, and iPTH levels were detected at day 2,7,14.The kidneys were removed after the rats were sacrificed on day 14 and serum 1,25-(OH)2D3 and FEp were measured. RT-PCR was applied to examine NaPi-2 mRNA. Results Serum P and iPTH levels in STNx+HP group were significantly higher than those in STNx+ LP and 3 sham groups (P0.05)among these five groups mentioned above. Serum P and iPTH levels in Renagel-treated group were much lower than those in STNx+HP group (P

DAZL, a member of the DAZ family, plays a key role in human spermatogenesis. It regulates the promoter via genetic modification, especially DNA methylation, promoting the transcription of DAZL. Besides, the relation of DAZL SNPs with male infertility has been a hot spot of research for many years. It is deduced that local and ethnic factors may be associated with the failure of spermatogenesis. This article presents an overview on the results of recent studies, changes in the DNA methylation of DAZL in spermatogenesis, and the association of DAZL SNPs with male infertility, aiming to provide a new theoretical basis and clinical strategy for the treatment of male infertility.

OBJECTIVE:To observe the preventive and therapeutic effect of Keshu on acute alcoholism mice.METHODS:Acute alcoholism mice model was established,and randomly divided mice into model group and high,middle,low dosage of Keshu group;the tolerance time,lasting time and the concentration of alcohol in blood were compared among each group.RE-SULTS:Compared with the model group,the tolerance time has been prolonged,the lasting time has been shortened and the blood concentration of alcohol has been lowered in Keshu group.CONCLUSION:Keshu has an obvious preventive and thera-peutic effect on acute alcoholism,the preventive effect of which outweighs the therapeutic effect.

Objective To investigate the feasibility and application scope of the looping technique by using a gooseneck snare and a loach guide wire in retrieving tubular foreign bodies within the vascular or ureteral duct. Methods During the period from July 2009 to Dec. 2013, six patients with ruptured catheter were admitted to authors’ hospital. All six patients were females. Three patients had internal ruptured peripherally inserted central venous catheter (PICC), one patient had ruptured implantable venous access port catheter and two patients had replacement of double “J” ureteral catheter stent. By using looping technique, i.e. a loach guide wire and a gooseneck snare were separately placed at the two ends of the tubular foreign body, then the gooseneck snare entangled the soft leading end of the loach guide wire to form a annular structure to seize the ruptured tubular catheter and then to pull it out of the body. Results With the help of the looping technique, the internal ruptured catheter or the double “J” ureteral catheter was successfully removed in all the six patients. Conclusion For the retrieval of the tubular foreign bodies within the vascular or ureteral duct, the looping technique by using a gooseneck snare and a loach guide wire is an effective and fast treatment. Therefore, this technique should be recommended in the clinical practice.

Objective To investigate the protective effects of propofol preconditioning on myocardium against hypothermia ischemia normothermia reperfusion injury on isolated rat hearts. Methods The Langendorff apparatus was used.Sixty SD rat hearts were divided randomly into 5 groups after 20-minute equilibrium(n=12): control(Con) group,hearts were continually perfused with K-H buffer for 175 min;ischemia/reperfusion(I/R) group,hearts were perfused with K-H buffer for 40 min,then subjected to global ischemia at 27 ℃ for 75 min,and followed reperfusion at 37 ℃ for 60 min;propofol preconditioning group 1(P1),group 2(P2),and group 3(P3),hearts were perfused with K-H buffer including 50,100,and 150 ?mol/L propofol for 10 min and followed reperfusion like I/R group,respectively.Heart rate(HR),left ventricular end-diastolic pressure(LVEDP), left ventricular developed pressure(LVDP) and ?dp/dtmax at the end of equilibration,pre-ischemia and at the end of reperfusion were recorded.The contents of creatine kinase(CK) and lactate dehydrogenase(LDH) in coronary effluent were measured at the end of equilibration and 1,10,20,30,and 60 min during reperfusion.The activity of superoxide dismutase(SOD) and the contents of maleic dialdehyde(MDA) were measured at the end of reperfusion.The area of infarct region was determined at the end of reperfusion. Results HR,LVDP,?dp/dtmax and SOD activity in P2 and P3 group were higher than those in I/R group(P
