Acute scrotal swelling: A sign of neonatal adrenal haemorrhage

Two neonates presented with acute scrotal swelling suggestive of testicular torsion. Surgical exploration in one patient revealed an infected haematoma. Subsequent investigations including ultrasonography and urinary catecholamine determination disclosed adrenal haemorrhage as the cause of the scrotal haematoma. A second patient in whom a purplish discolouration of the right hemiscrotum was noted was also investigated with ultrasonography, which revealed a normal right testis and a right adrenal haematoma. Both cases of adrenal haemorrhage resolved spontaneously on conservative treatment. Adrenal haemorrhage should be considered as a possible cause of acute scrotal swelling in neonates. Ultrasonography assessment should be performed in such cases to examine the intra-abdominal organs especially the adrenal glands.

Influence of pain and urinary symptoms on quality of life in young men with chronic prostatitis-like symptoms

BACKGROUND: Our aims in the present study were to estimate the influences of pain and urinary symptoms on quality of life, and to determine which of these two variables has the most predictive power with respect to quality of life in young men with chronic prostatitis-like symptoms. METHODS: Chronic prostatitis-like symptoms were measured by the National Institutes of Health-Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index. Of the 28,841 men aged 20 years who lived in the study community, 18,495 men (a response rate 64.1%) agreed to participate in the study. A total of 1057 men who complained of symptoms indicative of chronic prostatitis were included in the study. The influences of pain and urinary symptoms on quality of life were determined using logistic regression analysis. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to estimate the predictive ability of each of these variables with respect to quality of life. RESULTS: Results from multivariate analysis showed that both pain and urinary symptoms were associated with an increased likelihood of impaired quality of life, although pain contributed more to a reduced quality of life than urinary symptoms. Relative to men who experienced mild pain, men who experienced moderate pain had a 3.9-fold risk of poor quality of life (odds ratio [OR], 3.87; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.86-5.23; P < 0.001) and those who experienced severe pain had a 15.7-fold risk of reduced quality of life (OR, 15.68; 95% CI, 6.59-37.35; P < 0.001). Moderate urinary symptoms were associated with a 1.4-fold risk of bother (OR, 1.41; 95% CI, 1.01-1.99; P < 0.001) and severe urinary symptoms were associated with 2.4-fold risk (OR, 2.39; 95% CI, 1.37-4.12; P < 0.001), relative to mild urinary symptoms. Comparison of the effects of pain and urinary symptoms showed that pain severity had the most predictive power for bother, quality of life, and quality-of-life impact. The areas under the ROC curves for bother, quality of life, and quality-of-life impact were 71.3%, 69.3% and 72.5%, respectively. CONCLUSION: Urinary symptoms and pain might be associated with an increased likelihood of impaired quality of life in young men with chronic prostatitis-like symptoms. In addition, our findings suggest that pain severity is the most influential variable for determining quality of life in this population.     

姜黄素对慢性应激大鼠不同脑区促肾上腺皮质激素释放因子表达的影响

目的为探讨姜黄素可能的抗抑郁作用机制,观察姜黄素对慢性应激大鼠不同脑区促肾上腺皮质激素释放因子(CRF)表达的影响。方法采用不同应激方式交替、持续应激20d,制成大鼠慢性应激损伤模型,用开野实验、逆转录聚合酶链反应测定大鼠给姜黄素(2.5,5和10mg·kg-1,po,每日1次,共21d)前后行为的改变以及下丘脑、海马及额叶皮质中CRFmRNA的表达。结果慢性应激模型组大鼠在开野实验中5min内穿越格数、探究次数均显著减少;给予姜黄素后,应激大鼠穿越格数、探究次数均较应激对照组不同程度的增加。慢性应激模型组大鼠下丘脑、海马和额叶皮质中CRFmRNA表达均较正常对照组明显升高;姜黄素可以明显逆转上述脑区CRFmRNA表达的改变。结论姜黄素对慢性应激大鼠的活动性有明显的改善作用,这一作用很可能与逆转慢性应激大鼠不同脑区的CRFmRNA的异常表达有关。     

Serial immunoreactive erythropoietin levels in autologous blood donors

The variations in plasma erythropoietin (EPO) concentration during preoperative deposit of autologous blood were studied in 12 patients (8 men, 4 women). Four donations were scheduled at weekly intervals. A predonation hemoglobin concentration of 11 g per dL (110 g/L) was required. Hemoglobin concentration decreased from 14.3 +/- 1.1 g per dL (143 +/- 11 g/L) (mean +/- SD) before the first donation to 11.7 +/- 0.7 g per dL (117 +/- 7 g/L) on Day 22 (p less than or equal to 0.0001). Reticulocyte counts increased from a median of 31,800 (range, 4900-95,000) per microL (median, 32 x 10(9)/L [range, 5-95 x 10(9)/L]) to 93,800 (16,800-194,900) per microL (median, 94 x 10(9)/L [range, 17-195 x 10(9)/L]) on Day 28 (p less than or equal to 0.01). Plasma EPO concentration was 17.8 +/- 5.1 mU per mL prior to the first donation and displayed a small and transient peak after each donation. A sustained elevation followed each peak. Although plasma EPO concentration differed significantly from the baseline value after the first donation, only the peak concentrations after the second (35.5 +/- 15.5 mU/mL), third (38.0 +/- 14.5 mU/mL), and fourth (36.1 +/- 11.0 mU/mL) donations exceeded the normal range. The moderate, biphasic increase in plasma EPO concentration and the moderate increase in erythropoiesis suggest two strategies in autologous blood donation that should be investigated with respect to efficiency and safety: 1) more aggressive donation schemes, which reduce donation intervals and/or the minimum hemoglobin concentration and 2) the administration of recombinant human EPO.

慢波睡眠的药理学研究

睡眠有３种成分：浅睡眠、慢波睡眠（ｓｌｏｗｗａｖｅｓｌｅｅｐ,ＳＷＳ）和快眼动睡眠。提出催眠药物开发新构想,即ＳＷＳ是最重要的睡眠成分,选择性增加深睡眠的催眠药物最重要,它将对改善失眠,辅助治疗焦虑症、抑郁症和痴呆症具有重要意义。近十年研究进展包括：（１）腹外侧视前区结节乳头体可能是睡眠觉醒的中枢发生部位。基底前脑吻端ｐＧＤ２敏感性睡眠促进区参与睡眠调节;（２）生长激素释放激素、褪黑激素、ｐＧＤ２、ＩＬ１和腺苷均可增加ＳＷＳ。本系神经药理研究室关于ＳＷＳ的研究工作包括：（１）建立起家兔和大鼠睡眠成分自动分析系统（ａｕｔｏａｎａｌｙｓｉｓｓｌｅｅｐｉｎｇｓｔａｇｅｓｓｙｓｔｅｍｓ,ＡＳＳ）;（２）利用ＡＳＳ研究了免疫增强剂如转移因子、胞壁酰二肽、肿瘤坏死因子,以及５ＨＴ１Ａ受体激动剂和５ＨＴ２受体拮抗剂对睡眠成分的影响;（３）探讨５ＨＴ１Ａ受体、ＲＥＭ睡眠和５ＨＴ２受体间的关系。近十年睡眠调节的研究进展证明“构想”的可行性和正确性,并提示,在中枢可能存在免疫增强ＴＮＦ增多５ＨＴ更新率增加ＳＷＳ途径。激动５ＨＴ１Ａ自身受体与拮抗５ＨＴ２受体有类似效果,二者间有协同作用。开发选择性延长     

Outcome of mid-urethral sling procedures in Korean women with stress urinary incontinence according to body mass index

BACKGROUND: The objective of this study was to determine whether the outcome of mid-urethral sling procedures is influenced by the body mass index of Korean women suffering from stress urinary incontinence (SUI). METHODS: A total of 285 women, ranging in age from 28 to 80 years (mean 55.4), all of whom were followed up for at least 6 months, were ultimately included in this study. The patients were classified as follows: normal weight, 18.5-23 kg/m2; overweight, 23-27.5 kg/m2; obesity, 27.5 kg/m2 or higher. RESULTS: We noted bladder perforations in 11 cases (4.9%, 3.8% and 2.2% in the normal weight, overweight, and obesity groups, respectively; P = 0.449). We determined there to be no significant differences among the three groups with regard to cure rate (P = 0.173). The rates of postoperative urinary retention were 9.9% in the normal weight group, 10.1% in the overweight group, and 15.6% in the obesity group (P = 0.396). We determined there to be no significant differences among the three groups with regard to the persistence of urgency (P = 0.312). Seventy-nine patients (27.7%) exhibited symptoms indicative of voiding disorder (hesitancy, poor flow, or sensations of incomplete emptying). The postoperative development of these voiding symptoms was not significantly different among the three groups (P = 0.106). CONCLUSION: Our results demonstrate both the feasibility and the safety of mid-urethral sling procedures for obese Korean women who suffer from SUI. Additional studies, including prospective randomized trials with longer follow-up periods, will be required in order to confirm these findings.
