男性乳腺癌研究进展

男性乳腺癌是一种少见的恶性肿瘤。本文综述与男性乳腺癌相关的分子生物学特征(BRCA-1、BRCA-2、HER-2/new、p53 Bcl-2 p21waf1、p27kip1)、诊断、治疗。诊断主要依靠病理学;淋巴结转移是主要预后因素。治疗以手术为主,综合治疗有利于提高生存率。     

Angiomyxoma diagnosed in a man presenting for abdominal lipectomy

Aggressive angiomyxoma is a rare tumour that is locally infiltrative but nonmetastasizing. It occurs nearly exclusively in adult women of childbearing age and almost always arises in the perineum and pelvic area. A case of angiomyxoma occurring in a middle-aged, morbidly obese man is reported. The clinical presentation was one of progressing scrotal edema and enlargement with subsequent development of scrotal abscesses, requiring several incisions and drainages as well as oral and intravenous antibiotics. His symptoms and body habitus left him in a significantly debilitated state, prompting him to seek treatment for his conditions. He initially presented for abdominal lipectomy. However, due to the chronic scrotal infections and enlargement, scrotectomy was recommended before any other surgical procedures. A scrotectomy was performed by the urology service. Pathological diagnosis of the excised tumour was an aggressive angiomyxoma. Given the rarity of this tumour, especially in males, the proper diagnosis and treatment of angiomyxoma is still being investigated. With this in mind, the physical signs and symptoms that characterize this condition are presented and treatment options are reviewed.     

Azoospermia in two brothers with Kartagener syndrome:a family history and diagnosis

0This article describes 2 infertile brothers of asoospermia equally associated with co-existing sinusitis,bronchiectasis,and situs inversus and their family history.These two cases were diagnosed as Kartagener syndrome(KS).The patients were not offspring of kin marriages but their family members with scattered bronchi-pulmouary infections were discovered.No one manifests azoospermia,dextrocardia or situs inversus in the paternal family ex-cept two cases reported.No abnormalities were found in their mother-side family.KS should be differentiated from Young's syndrome,cystic fibrosis(CF),and other diseases such as Kallmann's syndrome in male infertility clinic.     

日本血吸虫成虫31/32KD抗原的纯化及其免疫化学特性

本文采用超凝胶柱层析法分离纯化日本血吸虫成虫31/32KD抗原。分离的抗原经银染色及免疫印迹法分析证明已达免疫纯及生化纯级。该抗原PAS染色呈阴性,经过碘酸钠处理后不失去活性,在琼脂糖凝胶电泳中趋向阳极。鉴于血吸虫成虫31/32KD组分是一种主要血清学抗原,它的分离纯化为改进和标化血吸虫病的诊断提供了条件。     

Effects of exposure to an estrous female on forebrain monoaminergic neurotransmission in the non-copulating male rat

Regional changes in the rate of brain monoamine synthesis were monitored in male rats exposed to, but prevented from physical contact with, an estrous or an ovariectomized female. The in vivo rate of tyrosine and tryptophan hydroxylase activities were estimated by measuring the accumulation of DOPA and 5-HTP following inhibition of cerebral aromatic l-amino acid decarboxylase by means of 3-hydroxybenzylhydrazine (NSD-1015) treatment (100 mg/kg i.p.) 5 min upon NSD-1015 treatment, the males were exposed to an intact estrous female or an ovariectomized female for 20 min before decapitation and brain dissections. Exposure to an estrous female produced an increased rate of tyrosine and tryptophan hydroxylase activity in the medial prefrontal cortex, the dorso-lateral neostriatum and in the ventral neostriatum, in comparison with home-cage controls. By the same comparison, exposure to an ovariectomized female resulted in an increased rate of tyrosine hydroxylase activity in the medial prefrontal cortex, byt not in the neostriatal areas, whereas tryptophan hydroxylase activity was unaffected. Finally, exposure to the empty test cage, with no stimulus females present, did not produce any statistically significant changes in the rate of tyrosine or tryptophan hydroxylase activity in any of the brain areas sampled. Taken together with recent findings from this laboratory, the present results demonstrate that the level of sexual motivation brought about by the olfactory, auditory and/or visual stimulation of a receptive female is associated with an increased demand on catecholamine and 5-hydroxytryptamine synthesis in the limbic forebrain of the male rat. The finding that the presence of an unestrous female produced an enhanced demand on tyrosine hydroxylase activity in the medial prefrontal neocortex demonstrates that the sexual incentive provided by the estrous female may not be the only factor responsible for all the effects observed in the present study. In fact, there is a distinct possibility that the intense challenge produced by sexually significant stimuli is but an endpoint, and that the changes found in forebrain monoamine synthesis is a reflection of an environmental challenge not necessarily specifically linked to the sexual behavior.     

Isolated polyarteritis nodosa of the male reproductive system associated with a germ cell tumor of the testis: a case report

Polyarteritis nodosa (PAN) presents mostly as a systemic disease with poor prognosis, rarely in an isolated form with a usually favorable outcome. Both forms may affect the male reproductive system and both forms have been associated with malignancies. We describe for the first time the occurrence of isolated PAN in the reproductive system combined with a mixed germ cell tumor of the testis in a 21-year-old man presenting with symptoms of chronic epididymitis. Two years after surgery he is without evidence of recurrence of either the tumor or PAN.     

雷公藤多甙与棉酚合用对雄大鼠生育力的影响

本研究探讨雷公藤多甙(GTW)与棉酚合用对雄大鼠生育力的影响。SD雄大鼠用棉酚及GTW各6 mg/kg/d,灌胃给药,每周6日,共11周。10只用药动物全部不育,附睾精子密度和活率也明显下降,而体重增长如常,性行为存在。睾丸光镜下结构绝大多数无明显异常,血清睾酮水平正常,副性腺重量无明显变化。停药6周后生育力恢复。在相同剂量下,单用GTW或棉酚均无抗生育效果。表明两药合用有相加作用,为减少棉酚和GTW副作用提供一条可能途径。     

Sex differences in plasma cocaine levels and subjective effects after acute cocaine administration in human volunteers

Gender differences after acute cocaine administration have received little attention in spite of the fact that males and females respond differently to many drugs. Seven male and seven female occasional cocaine users received both an intranasal dose of cocaine hydrochloride (0.9 mg/kg) and placebo powder in a randomized order and reported subjective effects via an instrumental joystick device and various questionnaires. Blood samples were withdrawn at 5-min intervals to assess pharmacokinetic differences. Male subjects achieved the highest peak plasma cocaine levels (144.4 ± 17.5 ng/ml), detected cocaine effects significantly faster than females and also experienced a greater number of episodes of intense good and bad effects. Women studied during the follicular phase of their menstrual cycle had peak plasma cocaine levels of 73.2 ± 9.9 ng/ml, which was significantly higher than when they were studied during their luteal phase (54.7 ± 8.7 ng/ml), but there were no differences in their subjective reports of cocaine effects. In spite of the different cocaine blood levels and subjective effects, peak heart rate increases did not differ between males and females suggesting that women may be more sensitive than males to the cardiovascular effects of cocaine. These data suggest that there are significant gender and menstrual cycle differences in the response to acute intranasal cocaine administration and these differences may have implications for the differential abuse of this drug.This paper is dedicated to Xavier Lamas, MD, PhD, who lost his life while ascending Mt. Everest, August 1995     

男性胆囊结石患者血清性激素和前列腺素改变的探讨

借助RIA,对28例胆囊结石男性(平均57.5岁)及26名健康中、老年男性(平均63.3岁)进行了血清雌二醇(E_2)、孕酮、睾酮和前列腺素类(PGs)检测,以探索胆石形成机理。结果,1)在胆石男病人中.平均E_2和平均孕酮水平均高,他们的平均睾酮则低下,与健康对照男性相应诸值比较,差异非常显著或显著(P<0.001,0.05,0.05);2)至于平均PGs,胆石男性组者与健康对照男性相比,前者也相当高(23.01pg/ml对16.31pg/ml),只是两组间差异尚无统计学意义。作者等初步设想,胆石男性小,如同胆石女性那般,本症也可能是某种垂体性腺激素分泌紊乱性疾病。
