Prostate vascular flow: the effect of ejaculation as revealed on transrectal power Doppler sonography

OBJECTIVE. The objective of our study was to determine the effect of ejaculation on prostate vascular flow. SUBJECTS AND METHODS. Using power Doppler technology, we performed four transrectal sonographic examinations before and immediately, 6 hr, and 24 hr after ejaculation in 10 healthy volunteers. Images were assessed by three independent observers. RESULTS. Ninety-seven percent of the images ranked as having the least flow were from the baseline examination. There was a significant difference between the rankings when categorized into the four time sets (mean score for the baseline group was 1.1, whereas for the immediate, 6-, and 24-hr postejaculation groups it was 2.5, 2.9, and 2.4, respectively (p<0.0001). The only statistically significant difference was between the baseline and the three remaining groups. Interobserver agreement was high, with the chance-corrected measure of agreement of 0.78. CONCLUSION. Transrectal sonography revealed that prostate vascular flow increases dramatically after ejaculation and remains elevated for at least 24 hr. This observation should be considered when power Doppler sonography is used to assess for potential hyperemia in patients suspected of having prostate abnormalities.     

代谢综合症基线调查

目的：通过对豫宛市30岁以上人群代谢综合症（MS）发病率的词查、统计和分析，旨在唤起人们对此病的重视和预防。方法：利用年度体检之机采用三级分组法对30岁以上人群进行有关MS指标的检测和统计，依据亚洲及我国体重指数标准及2004年中华医学会糖尿病分会诊断代谢综合症标准。共计调查人数3987人（男1981人，女2006人）。结果：30岁以上MS患病率，青年有10％～13％，中老年后可渐增至20％～30％。结论：MS是中老年多见的代谢异常疾病。已严重威胁着人们的生命健康。     

Evaluation of Safe Kids Week 2004: Age 4 to 9? It's Booster Seat Time!

OBJECTIVE: To assess the effectiveness of a national one week media campaign promoting booster seat use. DESIGN: Pre-test, post-test design based on nationally representative random digit dialing telephone survey, with control for exposure to campaign. SETTING: Canada. SUBJECTS: Parents of children aged 4-9 years. INTERVENTIONS: During a one week campaign in May 2004, information on booster seat use was distributed via a national media campaign, retail stores, medical clinics, and community events. Information included pamphlets with guidelines for booster seat use, as well as a growth chart (designed by Safe Kids Canada) to assist parents in determining if their child should be using a booster seat. Assessing seat belt fit was described in detail on the growth chart. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Knowledge, attitudes, and self-reported behaviors regarding booster seat use. RESULTS: Respondents in the group exposed to the campaign were twice as likely to report using a booster seat with lap and shoulder belt for their child (47%), compared to those in the pre-test (24%) and the unexposed (23%) groups (p<0.001). However, only small differences in general knowledge regarding booster seat use were found between the groups. CONCLUSIONS: A one week national media campaign substantially increased self-reported use of booster seats. Parents did not remember details of the campaign content, but did remember implications for their own child.     

舌黏膜尿道成形治疗尿道狭窄的初步报告

目的:探讨舌黏膜补片法尿道成形治疗尿道狭窄的疗效。方法:采用舌黏膜尿道成形治疗尿道狭窄14例。尿道狭窄段3.5~14cm,平均6.2cm;术前耻骨上膀胱造瘘8例,余6例排尿均较为困难,最大尿流率2.5~5.5ml/s,平均3.8ml/s。结果:术后随访2~8个月,1例因伤口感染致尿道皮肤瘘,余患者均排尿通畅,最大尿流率增至22~51ml/s,平均29.6ml/s。结论:舌黏膜具有取材方便、对患者创伤小、抗感染力强等特点,是一种较好的尿道替代物,尤其适合尿道狭窄段<6cm的患者。     

羊肚菌属群体遗传学和基因组进化的研究进展

羊肚菌Morchella esculenta是子囊菌亚门的一种大型药食两用真菌,具有重要的经济价值和药用价值。然而近年来全球气候变化,导致羊肚菌属物种的栖息地破碎和片段化,加上消费者对羊肚菌美食的喜爱,过渡采挖造成羊肚菌属野生资源急剧减少,因此,急需对羊肚菌属物种资源进行保护。遗传多样性的时空分布是保护生物学的重要内容,遗传多样性关系到一个物种或类群的进化潜力和未来命运。生物基因组和进化的研究能够辅助挖掘物种深层次的优异基因资源,有利于从本质上对物种进行科学保护。从羊肚菌属的遗传多样性、遗传结构和家系关系以及基因组进化等的研究进展进行综述,以期为羊肚菌属资源的科学保护提供重要依据。     

蒙药胃舒安对束缚-水浸应激致胃溃疡的预防作用及对TGF-β1表达的影响

[目的]评价蒙药胃舒安对束缚-水浸应激所致大鼠胃溃疡的预防作用。[方法]将Wistar实验大鼠,分正常组、给药组和对照组3组,正常组不给药,无束缚-水浸应激压力,对照组给淀粉,给药组灌胃给蒙药胃舒安,给药剂量为0．9～1．3mL／只（82．5g／L）,连续给胃舒安7d后,停食24h,建立3h束缚-水浸应激性胃溃疡模型,取胃,肉眼观察胃黏膜损伤,用Image J图像分析法测定胃黏膜溃疡面积,并进行比较。用酶联免疫吸附测定法检测胃溃疡大鼠血清转化生长因子（TGF-β1）含量并进行比较。[结果]蒙药胃舒安对3h束缚-水浸应激所致大鼠胃溃疡形成有抑制作用。胃舒安组大鼠血清TGF-β1含量明显低于对照组。[结论]蒙药胃舒安对实验大鼠束缚-水浸应激3h所致胃溃疡的形成有显著抑制作用。     

膜联蛋白A1在非小细胞肺癌组织中的表达及意义

  目的  检测膜联蛋白A1（annexin A1,ANXA1）在人非小细胞肺癌组织中的表达情况,并探讨其临床意义。  方法  通过实时荧光定量PCR、蛋白免疫印迹和免疫组织化学技术检测非小细胞肺癌患者肺癌组织和癌旁组织（距肿瘤边缘>5 cm）中膜联蛋白A1的表达水平,并分析其与临床病理参数之间的关系。  结果  实时荧光定量PCR显示,膜联蛋白A1 mRNA在肺癌组织中的表达水平（0.574±1.403）高于癌旁组织（0.240±0.893）,差异具有统计学意义（t=2.060,P=0.045）。肺癌组织中膜联蛋白A1的表达与其分化程度、淋巴结转移、TNM分期相关（P < 0.05）;与性别、年龄、吸烟史、肿瘤直径、组织学类型无关（P > 0.05）。蛋白免疫印迹和免疫组织化学结果均显示,膜联蛋白A1蛋白在肺癌组织中的表达高于癌旁组织。  结论  ANXA1在非小细胞肺癌患者肺癌组织中呈高表达,可能与其发生发展和侵袭转移有一定关系。
