Objective:To investigate effects of polydimethylsiloxane coating on the quality characteristics and qual-ity control methods of medium borosilicate glass tube injection bottles,including appearance,identification,physi-cal properties,water resistance of inner surface and element leaching amount.Methods:Nine batches of coated medium borosilicate glass tube injection bottles and corresponding medium borosilicate glass tube injection bottles from three companies were used to evaluate whether the quality control method of medium borosilicate glass tube in-jection bottles after polydimethylsiloxane film was modified,and to evaluate the effect of coating on the quality char-acteristics of bottles.Results:The coating did not have effect on appearance,identification and physical properties of medium borosilicate glass tube injection bottle.The coating process did not damage the original performance of the medium borosilicate glass tube injection bottle,and lead to the matters with special attention on the inspection method.The water resistance of the inner surface of the coated medium borosilicate glass tube injection bottle was improved.The leaching amounts of harmful elements such as arsenic,antimony,lead and cadmium before and after coating were low,indicating that the coating process did not increase the leaching risk of these harmful elements.The leaching amounts of elements were determined by ICP-OES,and no significant changes were found in most metal elements.Conclusion:The appearance,identification,physical properties and element leaching quality con-trol method of medium borosilicate glass tube injection bottle after poly dimethylsiloxane film coating do not need to be changed.The water resistance of the inner surface after coating is improved,and there is no significant adverse effect on other quality characteristics.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effects of walnut-shell moxibusiton on dry eye symptoms. METHODS: A total of 67 patients with dry eye symptoms were randomized into a walnut moxibustion group and a sodium hyaluronate eye drops group. METHODS: In the walnut moxibustion group, the walnut moxibustion was used, once every two days, 3 times a week, for 4 weeks totally. In the sodium hyaluronate eye drops group, sodium hyaluronate eye drops were selected, 4 times a day, one drop instilled in each eye each time, for 4 weeks totally. At the baseline (before treatment) and in 4 weeks of treatment, the score of the ocular surface disease index (OSDI), the score of visual analogous scale (VAS) for eye symptoms, the tear film break-up time (BUT), the cornea fluorescent pigmentation (FL) and SchirmerⅠ(SchⅠ) were evaluated. In 1-month follow-up after treatment termination, the changes of OSDI and VAS scores were evaluated in the two groups. RESULTS: In 4 weeks of treatment and the follow-up, OSDI scores were reduced as compared with those before treatment in the two groups (<0.001, <0.05). In 4 weeks of treatment and the follow-up, the change values of OSDI were (-16.03±17.42) and (-13.47±21.41) as compared with those before treatment in the walnut moxibustion group; and were (-9.58±23.45) and (-13.90±20.92) in the sodium hyaluronate eye drops group separately. The differences were not significant between the two groups (all >0.05). In 4 weeks of treatment and the follow-up, VAS scores were reduced as compared with those before treatment in the two groups (all <0.001). In 4 weeks of treatment, BUT was increased as compared with that before treatment in the two groups (both <0.05), the results of FL and SchⅠ did not change significantly before and after treatment in the two groups (all >0.05). The differences were not significant in the above indexes between the two groups (all >0.05). There was no obvious adverse reaction in the two groups. CONCLUSION The walnut-shell moxibustion is available likely for the subjective symptoms in the patients with dry eye syndrome and contributes to the tear film stabilization. The therapeutic effects need to be further evaluated with the adequate sample size in the randomized controlled trial.

BACKGROUND:Studies have shown that mesenchymsi stem cells (MSCs) participate in tumor stroma remodeling,but the mechanism is not clear.However,myofibroblast is related with tumor strema remodeling.OBJECTIVE:To investigate whether MSCs can differentiate into myofibroblast under the induction of tumor microenvironment.DESIGN,TIME AND SETING:This in vitro observation and in vivo transplantation cytology experiment was performed at institute of Low Temperature Medicine,Qilu Hospital of Shandong University from June 2006 to December 2007.MATERIALS:Twelve male New Zealand white rabbits,with 3-month-old,were purchased from Shandong Academy of Agricultural Sciences.METHODS:MSCs were obtained through bone marrow aspirates in male New Zealand rabbits and cultured by density gradient method.The 2~(nd) passage of MSCs were labeled with DAPI,and adjusted cell density to 5×10~(10) /L.The cells were assigned into experimental and control groups.For the experimental group,the passage two MSCs were cultured in low-glucose DMEM containing 10% fetal bovine serum and 30% VX2-cultured supernatant.For the control group,passage two MSCs were cultured in low-glucose DMEM containing 10% fetal bovine serum.Also,DAPI labeled self passage 2 MSCs of avery animal were delivered uniformly via direct surgical intratumoral injection to observe the differentiation of MSCs in tumor tissue.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:Immunofluorescense and RT-PCR were used to test the expression of α-SMA and Vimentin in MSCs of both groups 14 days later.At 3 weeks after VX2.intratumoral injection,Immunofluorescence was used to observe the distribution and differentiation of MSCs in tumor tissue.RESULTS:After stimulated with 30% VX2-cultured supematant for 2 weeks,Cy3 immunofluorescance showed that the expressions of α-SMA and Vimentin were strongly expressed in the experimental group,which was weakly expressed in the control group.Compared to the control group,the levels of α-SMA and Vimentin mRNA were obviously increased in the experimental group (P ＜ 0.01,P ＜ 0.05).At 3 weeks after MSCs intratumoral injection,these MSCs mainly distributed in tumor stroma and the expression of α-SMA and Vimentin in MSCs were also obviously increased,which demonstrated that the MSCs had differentiated into myofibroblasts.CONCLUSIONS:Under the induction of tumor microenivironment,MSCs can differentiate into myofibroblast,accordingly,accelerate the growth of tumor.

Objective To study a noninvasive method in evaluating the bladder outlet obstruc-tion (BOO) and bladder function in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) based on the transabdominal ultrasonic measurement of intravesical prostatic protrusion (IPP). Methods The da-ta of 206 first visit BPH patients with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) were retrospectively re-viewed. Patients were divided into 2 groups based on the degree of IPP: the research group with IPP greater than 10 mm(n=78) and control group with IPP 10 mm or less(n=128). Clinical data and uro-dynamic findings of the 2 groups were analyzed to find the clinical significance of IPP. Resells In-creased prostate volume(73.7±35.9 ml vs 62.8±36.5 ml), serum prostate specific antigen(1.81± 0.67 ng/ml vs 1. 64±0.36 ng/ml), post-voiding residual urine volume (PVR)(290.2±217.2 ml vs 228.2±167.9 ml), incidence of acute urine retention(33.3% vs 18.0%)and bladder trabeculation (23.1% vs 11.7%)had signicant differences between the 2 groups (P<0.05). Positive correlation was found between IPP and prostate volume as well as PVR (r=0.401 and 0.342, respectively). In the urodynamic study, significantly lower peak flow rate (Qmax) (7.6±4.1 ml/s vs 9.1±3.6 ml/s), higher incidence of detrusor overactivity (82.1% vs 17.2%) and low bladder compliance (35.9% vs 12.5%)were found in research group (P<0.01). In addition, maximum detrusor pressure(109.8± 84.9 cm H2O vs 84.9±44.1 cm H2O) and BOO index (BOOI) (75.2±27.1 vs 65.9±34.6) were significantly higher in the research group (p<0.05). The correlation study showed that r between IPP and Qmax, Pdet. max and BOOI was-0.284, 0.252 and 0.456, respectively. The incidence of acute urinary intention recurrence was higher in research group than in control group (64.3% vs 23.5%) (P<0.05). Conclusions IPP is a useful predictor in evaluating BOO and detrusor function. BOO and impaired detrusor function in obvious IPP patients are more severe. The obvious IPP pa-tients, especially those presenting with acute urine retention, may benefit more from early surgical in-tervention.

Objective To evaluate advantages and disadvantages of three procedures-percutaneous ethanol injection,small incision unroofing,and laparoscopic unroofing-in the treatment of renal cysts.Methods Clinical data of 106 cases of renal cysts from January 2001 to November 2004,treated either by percutaneous ethanol injection(Percutaneous Group),or small incision unroofing(Small Incision Group),or laparoscopic unroofing (Laparoscopic Group),were reviewed.The operation time,intraoperative blood loss,hospitalization costs,and cure rate were compared among the three procedures.Results The Percutaneous Group presented the least hospitalization costs(3 261.8?779.2 yuan),the lowest cure rate(78.6%,22/28),and the highest recurrence rate(21.4%,6/28).The Small Incision Group had the shortest operation time(44.1?5.7 min),and the Laparoscopic Group had the highest hospitalization costs(9 050.9?1 116.2 yuan).There were significant differences in these parameters among the three groups(P0.05).Conclusions The three procedures,with each having its own advantages,should be selected depending on individual conditions.For patients with a simple renal cyst

Female urethral syndrome is very common, but its etiology is not yet known completely and its management is somehow difficult. Up to now, there have been quite a number of reports about the female prostate, whose inflammation is possibly the major cause of female urethral syndrome.
