Genetic risk factors have been shown to contribute to the development of sexual dysfunction. However, the role of methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene variants in the risk of erectile dysfunction (ED) remains unclear. In this study, we recruited 1254 participants who underwent ED assessed by the International Index of Erectile Function-5. The MTHFR c.677C>T variant was also measured by fluorescence polymerase chain reaction (PCR). No significant difference in the genotypic frequency of the MTHFR C677T polymorphism (CC, CT, and TT) was observed between men from the ED and non-ED groups. In addition, on binary logistic regression analysis, both crude and adjusted models showed that the risk of ED was not significantly associated with the C677T polymorphism. Interestingly, a significantly higher frequency of the 677TT polymorphism was found in severe and moderate ED (P = 0.02). The positive correlation between the MTHFR 677TT polymorphism and severe ED was confirmed by logistic regression analysis, even after adjusting for potential confounders (odds ratio [OR] = 2.46, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.15-5.50, P = 0.02). These findings suggest a positive correlation between the MTHFR 677TT polymorphism and the risk of severe ED. Identification of MTHFR gene polymorphisms may provide complementary information for ED patients during routine clinical diagnosis.

Objective: To explore the effect of modified Si Junzitang (MSJZT) drug serum on the expression of apoptosis-related molecules of gastric cancer cell SGC-7901 and further its anti-tumor mechanism.Method: A total of 40 SD rats were randomly divided into four groups:low-dose,middle-dose,high-dose MSJZT (0.213,0.426,0.853 g·kg^-1) groups and normal group (n=10).The treatment groups were administrated through gastric perfusion,and the normal group was given the equivalent volume of normal saline for 10 days.1.5 h after the last treatment,chloral hydrate peritoneal anesthesia was performed,blood was collected from heart,and different doses of serum were separated to prepare drug-containing serum of low-dose,middle-dose,high-dose MSJZT groups,in order to incubate SGC-7901 gastric cancer cell.Early and late apoptosis rates were detected with flow cytometry.Afterwards,the tumor suppressor gene p53,c-nucleoprotein gene (c-Myc),cysteine-aspartic acid protease-3(Caspase-3),B-cell lymphoma-2(Bcl-2) mRNA expressions were confirmed by fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR).The protein expressions of p53,c-Myc,Caspase-3,Bcl-2 were detected by immunofluorescence.Result: Compared with the normal group,the high-dose MSJZT group could obviously increase the apoptosis rate to 22.58%(P<0.01).The results of Real-time PCR showed that the middle-dose MSJZT group significantly promoted the mRNA expression of Caspase-3(P<0.01),the medium-dose group significantly increased the mRNA expressions of p53 and c-Myc (P<0.01),and the high-dose group significantly inhibited the mRNA expression of Bcl-2(P<0.01).The immunofluorescence results showed that the high-dose MSJZT group could significantly increase the protein expressions of c-Myc,Caspase-3 and p53(P<0.01),while the protein expression of Bcl-2 was significantly reduced (P<0.05).Conclusion: MSJZT drug serum could exert an anti-tumor effect by inhibiting the expression of the anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2,and promoting the expressions of pro-apoptotic-related molecules p53,c-Myc,Caspase-3.

Objective: To investigate the effect of different turnover intervals in preventing stress injury to patients in emergency room. Methods: The 200 eligible patients from July 2016 to July 2017 were divided into 4 groups by random number table method, 50 patients per group, named as the conventional group, test group 1, test group 2 and test group 3. Turning frequency was used for 2.0 h in the conventional group, and 2.5 h, 3.0 h and 3.5 h in the first, second and third groups, respectively. The average body pressure of the shoulder blade, left and right lateral ankle and sacral tail between the four groups at different turning time, the incidence of stress injuries, the comprehensive satisfaction of patients with turn-over nursing were compared. Results: There was no statistically significant difference in the body pressure value of the main compression site between the four groups (P>0.05), and the incidence of stress injury was 2.0% (1/50), 2.0% (1/50), 2.0% (1/50), and 4.0% (2/50), respectively (P>0.05). The comprehensive satisfaction degree of the patients in the four groups was 71.0%(71/100), 75.0%(81/108), 79.8% (83/104), and 86.6% (97/112), respectively, with statistically significant differences (χ²=8.517, P< 0.05). For each of the two groups, only the general group and the experimental group showed statistically significant differences in the comprehensive satisfaction degree of the patients in the three groups (χ²=7.824, P< 0.01). Conclusions It shows that the 3.5 h turning-over interval can effectively prevent stress injuries, improve patient satisfaction, and reduce the workload of nursing staff without affecting patient treatment, nursing, and stress injury prevention.

BACKGROUNDImproving islet graft revascularization has become a crucial task for prolonging islet graft survival. Endothelial cells (ECs) are the basis of new microvessels in an isolated islet, and EC coating has been demonstrated to improve the vascularization and survival of an islet. However, the traditional method of EC coating of islets has low efficiency in vitro. This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of a polyglycolic acid (PGA) scaffold on the efficiency of islet coating by ECs and the angiogenesis in the coated islet graft.

METHODSA PGA fibrous scaffold was used for EC coating of islet culture and was evaluated for its efficiency of EC coating on islets and islet graft angiogenesis.

RESULTSIn in vitro experiments, we found that apoptosis index of ECs-coating islet in PGA group (27% ± 8%) was significantly lower than that in control group (83% ± 20%, P < 0.05) after 7 days culture. Stimulation index was significantly greater in the PGA group than in the control group at day 7 after ECs-coating (2.07 ± 0.31 vs. 1.80 ± 0.23, P < 0.05). vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) level in the PGA group was significantly higher than the coating in the control group after 7 days culture (52.10 ± 13.50 ng/ml vs. 16.30 ± 8.10 ng/ml, P < 0.05). Because of a tight, circumvallated, adhesive and three-dimensional growth microenvironment, islet cultured in a PGA scaffold had higher coating efficiency showing stronger staining intensity of enzyme than those in the control group after 14 days of culture following ECs-coating. For in vivo study, PGA scaffold significantly prolonged the average survival time of EC-coated islet graft after transplantation compared with control group (15.30 ± 5.60 days vs. 8.30 ± 2.45 days, P < 0.05). The angiogenesis and area of survived grafts were more in the PGA group compared with the control group by measuring the mean microvessel density (8.60 ± 1.21/mm2 vs. 5.20 ± 0.87/mm2, P < 0.05). In addition, expression of VEGF and tyrosin-protein kinase receptor (Tie-2) gene increased in PGA scaffold group than that in control group by real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction analysis.

CONCLUSIONSThese results demonstrate that the efficiency of EC coating of islets was successfully increased by culturing ECs on a PGA scaffold. This method enhances the function, survival, and vascularization of isolated islets in vitro and in vivo.

AlM: To study the therapeutic effect of external-route microsurgery forrhegmatogenous retinal detachment.
METHODS: ln 55 patients ( 55 eyes ) with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, drainage of subretinal fluid, examination of locating the holes, sclera cryotherapy, scleral buckling, and vitreous cavity injection of filtrated air were performed under surgical microscope.
RESULTS:The retinal reattachment occurred in 50 cases after the primary surgery. The final rate of reattachment was 91% during 6 - 12mo follow - up. The retinal reattachment occurred in 1 case ( recurrent retinal detachment) after the secondary surgery and in 4 cases ( recurrent retinal detachment ) after vitrectomy. The eyesight was improved with different degrees in 55 cases.CONCLUSlON: The external- route microsurgery for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment is simple, safe and effective.

The study was purposed to explore the effect and mechanisms of decitabine and/or Trichostatin A (TSA) on SKM-1 cells in vitro. The effect of decitabine and/or TSA on proliferation of SKM-1cells was analyzed with trypan blue exclusion; the differentiation of SKM-1 cells was detected by nitro-blue tetrazolium (NBT) reduction and flow cytometry; the apoptosis of cells was measured by Annexin V-FITC; the mRNA expression of Fas, survivin and P15(INK4B) in cells treated with decitabine and/or TSA was evaluated by RT-PCR. The results showed that decitabine and/or TSA were capable of inhibiting SKM-1 cell growth and promoting cell differentiation; they stimulated the expression of CD14 and CD11b and inhibited HLA-DR expression; meanwhile and decitabine or/and TSA could induce cell apoptosis, up-regulate mRNA expression of Fas and P15(INK4B), and down-regulate survivin mRNA expression. It is concluded that decitabine can induce apoptosis/differentiation of SKM-1 cells, whose mechanisms may related to the expression of Fas, survivin and P15(INK4B). Decitabine has the synergistic effect with TSA.
