死亡结构域相关蛋白及其在宫颈病变中的研究进展

宫颈癌对妇女健康构成严重威胁,人乳头瘤病毒感染与宫颈病变及宫颈癌的发生密切相关。关于宫颈癌发生发展的机制仍在研究中。近年研究发现一种多功能核蛋白,即死亡结构域相关蛋白(death domain associated protein,Daxx),其与细胞内蛋白或病毒蛋白相互作用,参与调节细胞凋亡、转录调控、抗病毒等细胞活动,在不同途径中发挥不同的生理或病理作用。通过对Daxx功能及其作用机制的研究有助于进一步阐明宫颈癌发生发展的机制,有助于发现新的预防和治疗方法。综述Daxx的一般特性和研究现况及其在宫颈病变的研究进展。     

The Association of Exercise with Both Erectile and Sexual Function in Black and White Men

IntroductionThere is growing interest in using exercise to treat. Although many studies have highlighted the relationship between better erectile function and exercise, black men have been underrepresented in the literature.AimsThis study aims to determine whether or not exercise is associated with better erectile as well as sexual function in black men and define a minimum exercise threshold for which better erectile/sexual function is seen in a cross-sectional study.MethodsOur study population consisted of 295 healthy controls from a case-control study assessing risk factors for prostate cancer conducted at the Durham Veterans Affairs Medical Center, which contained a substantial proportion of black men (n = 93; 32%). Exercise and erectile/sexual function were both determined from self-reported questionnaires. Subjects were stratified into four exercise groups: <3 (sedentary), 3–8.9 (mildly active), 9–17.9 (moderately active), and ≥18 (highly active) metabolic equivalents (MET) hours/week. The association between exercise and erectile/sexual function was addressed utilizing multivariable linear regression analyses.Main Outcome MeasuresErectile/sexual function was defined by the validated Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite sexual assessment, which was analyzed as a continuous variable (sexual function score). Clinically significant better function was defined as half a standard deviation (SD) (16.5 points).ResultsMedian sexual function score was 53 (SD = 33). Higher exercise was associated with a better sexual function score (P < 0.001). Importantly, there was no interaction between black race and exercise (P-interaction = 0.772), meaning more exercise was linked with better erectile/sexual function regardless of race. Overall, exercise ≥18 MET hours/week predicted better erectile/sexual function (P < 0.001) with a clinically significant 17.3-point higher function. Exercise at lower levels was not statistically (P > 0.147) or clinically (≤8.14 points higher function) associated with erectile/sexual function.ConclusionsIn a racially diverse population, exercise ≥18 MET hours/week is highly associated with better erectile/sexual function regardless of race.

Longer Operative Time Results in a Higher Rate of Subsequent Periprosthetic Joint Infection in Patients Undergoing Primary Joint Arthroplasty

Background

Whether prolonged operative time is an independent risk factor for subsequent surgical site infection (SSI) and periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) following total joint arthroplasty (TJA) remains a clinically significant and underexplored issue. The aim of this study is to investigate the association between operative time and the risk of subsequent SSI and PJI in patients undergoing primary TJA.

Effect of Chronic Administration of PDE5 Combined with Glycemic Control on Erectile Function in Streptozotocin‐Induced Diabetic Rats

IntroductionChronic treatment with phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors (PDE5) is effective in an animal model of diabetes‐induced erectile dysfunction (DMED). In addition, recent research indicates that glycemic control can restore DMED.AimsWe evaluated the effect of chronic administration of PDE5 combined with glycemic control on DMED.MethodsSprague‐Dawley rats (8 weeks old) were divided into five groups (n = 10 each): normal control (C), diabetes (DM), DM treated with insulin (DM‐I), DM treated with PDE5 (DM‐P), and DM treated with insulin and PDE5 (DM‐I + P). Rats in the diabetic groups received an injection of streptozotocin (45 mg/kg). After 10 weeks of induced diabetes, the DM‐I group was treated with a daily injection of neutral protamine Hagedorn, and the DM‐P group was treated with a daily dosage of 20 mg/kg PDE5 (DA‐8159) for 4 weeks. The DM‐I + P group was treated with both treatments simultaneously. After 14 weeks of induced diabetes, an evaluation of erectile function and histological and biochemical markers of corporal tissue was performed.Main Outcome MeasuresErectile function and histological and biochemical markers in corporal tissue.ResultsRats in the DM group showed markedly lower erectile parameters than those in the C group, whereas rats in the DM‐I and DM‐P groups showed intermediate erectile function between the DM and C groups. Rats in the DM‐I + P group showed restored erectile function, comparable with group C. A comparison of apoptotic index, expression of the endothelial marker, and phosphorylation of endothelial nitric oxide synthase and Akt displayed a similar pattern with the results from cavernosometry (DM < DM‐I = DM‐P < DM‐I + P = C, P < 0.05). The distribution of phosphorylated myosin phosphatase target subunit 1 was in the reverse order.ConclusionsChronic administration of PDE5 or glycemic control with insulin resulted in restoration of overt DMED. The combination of both treatments was superior to monotherapy with insulin or PDE5. Choi WS, Kwon OS, Cho SY, Paick J‐S, and Kim SW.
