The need for a revival of psychoanalytic investigations into premature ejaculation

Although psychoanalysis was the first-choice treatment for premature ejaculation (PE) between 1920 and 1960, hardly any reports on its efficacy have been published. Moreover, a scientific debate about its findings has never been fully developed. The recent progress that has been made in the classification of three different PE syndromes creates a new opportunity for psychoanalytic investigations of men with complaints of PE, distinguished by the actual duration of their intravaginal ejaculation latency time (IELT). The term premature-like ejaculatory dysfunction has been introduced to distinguish men with self-perceived PE at normal and long IELT durations from those men with lifelong, acquired and normal variable PE. Psychoanalytic research may contribute to a better understanding of the consequences of objective early ejaculations on the unconscious mental life of men with the four forms of PE. By integrating neurobiological, clinical and epidemiological data of ejaculatory performance, a revival of psychoanalytic research of PE in the four distinct, classified PE groups, will probably contribute to a deeper insight in to the unconscious mental life of men affected by PE.

Effects of bile acids on ventricular muscle contraction and electrophysiological properties: studies in rat papillary muscle and isolated ventricular myocytes

Summary The effects of sodium salts of various bile acids on the contractile force and the electrophysiological properties of rat ventricular muscle were studied in vitro. Primary, conjugated, and secondary bile acids were studied in a concentration range of 10^–9–10^–6 mol/l, which corresponds to concentrations found in the plasm of patients with cholestatic jaundice. In general, the bile acid induced a negative inotropic effect which was manifested as a reduction in active tension, maximum rate of tension activation, and maximum rate of tension relaxation. Twitch duration and time to peak tension were unaffected by the bile acids. The negative inotropism was associated with a reduction in ventricular action potential duration. Resting potential, action potential amplitude, and maximum upstroke velocity of phase 0 depolarization were unaffected. Voltage clamp experiments in rat ventricular myocytes demonstrated that sodium taurocholate decreased the slow inward current and slightly increased the outward potassium current. Hence, these effects on the membrane currents are probably responsible for the negative inotropic effect. Send offprint requests to O. Binah at the above address     

前列腺素E1和一氧化氮联合治疗室间隔缺损并肺动脉高压的疗效观察

目的 :观察静脉应用前列腺素E1(PGE1)、吸入一氧化氮 (NO)及二者小剂量联合应用对室间隔缺损 (VSD)并肺动脉高压的治疗作用。方法 :将 2 4例VSD并肺动脉高压的病人随机分为 3组 ,观察静脉注射PGE16 0ng/ (kg·min)、吸入NO 2 0ppm及静脉注射PGE130ng/ (kg·min)联合吸入NO 10 ppm对病人的血流动力学及血氧饱合度的影响。结果 :静脉注射PGE16 0ng/ (kg·min)使肺动脉平均压 (MPAP)明显下降 ,体动脉平均压 (MSAP)亦有所下降 ,心指数 (CI)明显增加。吸入NO 2 0 ppm组MPAP明显下降而MSAP无明显变化 ,CI有所升高 ,但差别不显著。静脉注射PGE130ng/ (kg·min)同时吸入NO 10 ppm组MPAP明显下降 ,但不显著 ,CI明显升高。 3组血氧饱合度均明显升高。结论 :联合应用小剂量PGE1和NO不仅能有效降低MPAP ,又能适当轻度降低MSAP ,改善心功能 ,减轻了NO的毒副作用 ,是一种较理想的治疗方案     

脐动脉血PCT、CRP检测在早产儿早期感染中的作用

目的:为进一步提高早产儿重症感染的早期诊断率探讨一种快速、可靠的方法。方法:用LUMITestPCT方法检测我院出生的有感染可能的早产儿的脐动脉血清降钙素原(PCT)。同时检测脐动脉血C反应蛋白(CRP);由新生儿专业的医师对其病情进行观察,在不知道PCT值时做出病情的临床诊断,52例病例分为:重症感染组(n=28)和对照组(n=24)。进行回顾性对比分析。结果:早期开始的早产儿感染与CRP、PCT浓度在出生时的增加相关,差异有极显著性(P<0.001);脐动脉血中,PCT浓度的增加与CRP水平变化呈正相关(r=0.88)。PCT的敏感性(96.4%)和特异性(95.8%)均高于CRP(敏感性75%,特异性91.6%)。结论:PCT可作为早产儿早期感染的早期、快速检测指标,与CRP相比,PCT敏感性、特异性均高。本研究方法对早产儿无创伤。     

Characteristics of Bifocal Pacing:

Bifocal RIGHT ventricular stimulation (BRIGHT) is an ongoing, randomized, single-blind, crossover study of atrial synchronized bi-right ventricular (RV) pacing in patients in New York Heart Association heart failure functional class III, a left ventricular ejection fraction <35%, left bundle branch block and QRS complexes ≥120 ms. This analysis compared the electrical and handling characteristics, and the complications of pacing at the RV apex (Ap) with passive, versus RV outflow tract (OT) with active fixation leads. A mean of 1.6 ± 0.9 and 2.2 ± 2.0 attempts were needed to position the Ap and OT leads, respectively (ns). R-wave amplitudes at Ap versus OT were 23 ± 13 mV versus 14 ± 8 mV (n = 36, P < 0.001). R-wave amplitudes at the Ap remained stable between implant and M7. R-wave amplitudes at the OT could not be measured after implantation. In two patients, atrioventricular block occurred during active fixation at the OT. Conduction recovered spontaneously within 4 months. Ventricular fibrillation was induced in one patient during manipulation of an Ap lead in the RV. Marked differences were found between leads positioned in the OT versus Ap, partly related to the difference in lead design. Mean R-wave amplitude was higher at the Ap that at the OT. Ease and success rate of lead implant was similar in both positions.
