Objective:To study Ca~(2 +) changes~( )in detrusor cell of the unstable bladder of rabbit~(,)s partial bladder outlet obstruction. Methods: Thirty male New Zealand White rabbits were divided into 2 groups randomly. In the experiment group the unstable bladder were confirmed by Urodynamics and the sham operated age-matched rabbits acted as the control group eight weeks after operetion. bladder smooth muscle cells were isolated by collagenase digestion. Intracellular Ca~(2+) levels in detrusor cell were observed by confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM). Results: Intracellular Ca~(2+) concentration significantly increased in the experiment group (Ca~(2+) overload). Conclusion:It was a important pathogeny for the unstable bladder of partial bladder outlet obstruction that pathological changes of Ca~(2+) with the unstable bladder.

Considerable advances have been made in the understanding of the cellular processes that result in contraction and relaxation of detrusor smooth muscle recently,particularly in the role and modulation of calcium.Several changes in these cellular mechanisms that impair normal function have been observed in detrusor muscle from patients with unstable bladders.Whether these changes represent primary causes of bladder dysfunction or whether they are secondary to bladder dysfunction remains to be determined.Nevertheless,the identification of specific cellular lesions in bladder dysfunction presents a novel approach to identification of drug targets and potential treatment modalities.

0.05) between two groups in the above results.Disc agar diffusion test showed the sensitivity rates of overall clinical isolates to gatifloxacin and levofloxacin were 97.56% and 92.68%,respectively.The incidence of adverse drug reactions(ADR) of two groups were 23.91% and 43.75%,respectively.In 5 cases severe ADR were found. CONCLUSIONS Sequential therapy of gatifloxacin may get satisfactory results in lower respiratory tract infections of elder people.The irrational use of drugs is an important factor to increase ADR(including collateral damage).So we should pay attention to the ADR and grasp the indications strictly and use the drugs appropriately,especially for the elder patients.

As with all neurologic reflex mechanisms,efferent activity is brought about by afferent input. Furthermore, the superimposed voluntary control, which is a critical feature of social continence, is largely determined by sensations of bladder fullness. In recent years, interest in the pathophysiology of urinary incontinence has shifted from a focus on the detrusor muscle to the afferent innervation of the bladder. In this respect, it is notable that investigations of detrusor muscle function are often performed in the absence of an intact urothelium and lamina propria, along with their sensory innervation. This review will summarize the results from recent animal and human experiments.

The effects of combined RNA interference (RNAi) of human telomerase RNA (hTR) and human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) genes on telomerase activity in a bladder cancer cell line (BIU-87 cells) were investigated by using gene chip technology in vitro with an attempt to evaluate the role of RNAi in the gene therapy of bladder transitional cell cancer (BTCC). Three TR-specific double-stranded small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) and three TERT-specific double-stranded siRNAs were designed to target different regions of TR and TERT mRNA. The phTR-siRNA, phTERT-siRNA, and the combination of both plasmids phTR+phTERT-siRNA were transfected into BIU-87 cells. The expression of hTR and hTERT mRNA was detected by quantitative fluorescent reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction, and a telomeric repeat amplification protocol was applied to detect telomerase activity. Growth inhibition of BIU-87 cells was measured by MTT assay. Gene chip analysis was performed to evaluate the effects of the combined RNAi of hTR+hTERT genes on telomerase activity and growth of BIU-87 cells in vitro. The results showed that the expression of hTERT and hTR mRNA was inhibited by pRNAT-hTERT-III, pRNAT-hTR-III, and pRNAT-hTR-III+hTERT-III in BIU-87 cells. The inhibition efficiency of pRNAT-hTERT-III, pRNAT-hTR-III, pRNAT-hTERT-III+pRNAT-hTR-III was 67% for TERT mRNA, 41% for TR mRNA, 57% for TR mRNA and 70% for TERT mRNA in BIU-87 cells respectively. The growth of BIU-87 cells was inhibited and telomerase activity was considerably decreased, especially in the cells treated with combined RNAi-hTR and -hTERT. Gene chip analysis revealed that 21 genes were down-regulated (ATM, BAX, BCL2, BCL2L1, BIRC5, CD44, CTNNB1, E2F1, JUN, MCAM, MTA1, MYC, NFKB1, NFKBIA, NME4, PNN, PNN, SERPINE1, THBS1, TNFRSF1A, and UCC1). The results indicated that hTR-siRNA and hTERT-siRNA, especially their combination, siRNA hTR+hTERT, specifically and effectively suppressed the expression of both hTR and hTERT mRNA and telomerase activity. Molecular biological mechanism by which combined siRNA-TR and -TERT inhibited telomerase activity and growth of BIU-87 cells in vitro may involve the down-regulation of the 21 genes.

Objective:To investigate the therapeutic effects of antibiotic articular cement spacer on shoulder joint infection in the elderly patients during stage-one operation.Methods:The data of 3 patients were analyzed retrospectively who had been treated at Department of Orthopaedics, The Sixth People's Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University for shoulder infection from May 2018 to December 2019. They were one man and 2 women with an average age of 65.3 years (from 64 to 67 years). One case of infection followed shoulder puncture, another proximal humeral fracture and another shoulder prosthesis replacement. All the 3 patients underwent radical debridement and implantation of antibiotic shoulder cement spacer in stage-one operation but no stage-two operation. The therapeutic effects were evaluated by American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) scoring, Quick Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (Quick-DASH) scoring, Visual Analog Scale (VAS), and range of shoulder motion.Results:The 3 patients were followed up for 18 to 28 months (mean, 22.7 months). There was no recurrence of infection and the spacers were in good position. The microorganisms detected were Bifidobacterium brevis in one case and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in 2 cases. At the final follow-up, the ASES scores averaged 54.4 (from 46.3 to 60.0), Quick-DASH scores 45.1 (from 40.8 to 50.0), VAS scores 2.3 (from 2 to 3), ranges of elevation 65.7 °, ranges of abduction 43.8° and ranges of external rotation 21.7°.Conclusion:For the elderly patients with shoulder infection, implantation of antibiotic shoulder cement spacer after radical debridement can well control infection, relieve pain and improve shoulder functions, sparing them secondary operation.

The related substances in docetaxel injection were identified by LC-MS/MS. Ethyl acetate was used to extract the injection to remove the pharmaceutical excipients. HPLC separation was carried out on a Hedera ODS-2 column (150 mm x 2.1 mm, 5 microm) with a mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile - 0.1% acetate acid aqueous solution (40: 60). Electrospray ionization source was set in the positive mode for the LC-ESI-MS/MS, and the ion monitoring modes were full scan and product ion scan. According to the mass spectra of the related substances, the fragment profiles were explained, and the chemical structures were elucidated. Docetaxel and its main related substances were well separated. Nine related substances in docetaxel injection were detected by LC-MS/MS. Their chemical structures were proposed, and four of them were identified in the docetaxel injection for the first time. The established LC-MS/MS method is effective in the separation and identification of the related substances in docetaxel injection. The test results are useful for its quality control.
