Urinary dysfunction and autonomic control in amyloid neuropathy

Abstract Uro-neurological assessment was performed in four patients with small-fiber neuropathy due to amyloidosis (2 transthyretin-type/2 immunoglobulin light-chain-type). Voiding difficulties were due to detrusor weakness and impaired bladder sensation. In two patients cholinesterase inhibition treatment caused urge incontinence, indicating detrusor denervation supersensitivity. The underlying mechanisms of urinary dysfunction seem to involve postganglionic cholinergic and afferent somatic nerves.     

抗端粒酶核酶抑制肝癌细胞裸鼠移植瘤生长的研究

设计针对端粒酶RNA组分的特异性核酶，研究该核酶对肝癌细胞裸鼠移植瘤生长的影响。构建含针对端粒酶RNA组分锤头状核酶基因的重组真核表达质粒pBBS212-RZ，以及建立人肝癌细胞株HepG2裸鼠移植瘤模型。将不同剂量的pBBS212-RZ用脂质体包裹后进行瘤体内多点注射，对照组注射生理盐水或空质粒载体pBBS212。连续注射2l天后，测量移植瘤体积和重量，检测瘤组织端粒酶活性。抗端粒酶特异性核酶使瘤组织端粒酶活性下降(抑制率为72％)，明显地抑制了肝癌细胞裸鼠移植瘤生长(抑制率为68％)，且存在剂量依赖性。抗端粒酶特异性核酶作为一种有效的端粒酶抑制剂，可抑制肝癌细胞的生长，有望在肝癌基因治疗中发挥作用。     

金属支架植入治疗上尿路闭锁的中期结果

目的评价金属支架植入治疗上尿路闭锁的中期疗效。方法1995年10月至1998年12月，采用金属支架永久植入治疗上尿路闭锁患者13例，其中肾盂输尿管连接部闭锁8例，肾下盏输尿管吻合口闭锁3例，输尿管上段闭锁和输尿管膀膀吻合口闭锁各1例。闭锁长度1．0～3．6cm。采用影像学方法定期随访，必要时行输尿管镜检查。结果13例术后随访1～9年，平均92个月。输尿管引流通畅6例，需辅助停留输尿管内支架管、换管时见支架处上皮覆盖完全3例，因肾功能进行性恶化而行肾切除2例，因肾积脓感染无法控制而取出金属支架2例。3例患者分别于置管后4、6、6个月发现支架内肉芽组织生长，用钬激光汽化肉芽组织。其中1例4个月后又出现肉芽组织生长，再用钬激光汽化后长期留置双J管。2例患者于置管术后28、32个月并发支架近端结石，分别用微创经皮取石术和输尿管镜取出。结论金属支架植入治疗上尿路闭锁安全、有效，中期结果满意，其对上尿路动力学的影响尚需进一步研究。     

Tension-free vaginal tape for the treatment of urodynamic stress incontinence with intrinsic sphincteric deficiency

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the outcome of tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) procedure in women with urodynamic stress incontinence diagnosed as having intrinsic sphincteric deficiency (ISD). The combination of a maximal urethral closure pressure <20 cm H₂O and a Valsalva leak point pressure <60 cm H₂O was considered as diagnostic of ISD. Subjects with detrusor overactivity on preoperative urodynamics were excluded. A total of 35 patients with both low closure pressure and leak point pressure were enrolled. Bladder perforation occurred in three (8.6%) cases. Postoperative urinary voiding difficulties occurred in nine (25.7%) women. Two patients underwent surgical detension of the tape, with complete resolution of urinary retention and no relapse of incontinence. Women with postoperative voiding dysfunction had a significantly lower detrusorial pressure at the peak flow on preoperative urodynamics compared to those who voided efficiently after TVT. The mean (range) follow-up time was 12.5 months (3–36). The objective cure rate for stress incontinence was 91.4%. Two of the three (66%) patients in whom the TVT procedure failed had a fixed urethra. De novo urge incontinence was found in five (14.3%) patients.     

妇产科患者术后使用镇痛泵引发尿路感染的临床探讨

目的 了解留置导尿所致尿路感染的发病率及影响因素。方法 采用前瞻性调查与回顾性调查相结合的方法,对妇产科手术后患者留置尿管而引发泌尿系感染率增高的原因进行调查和分析。结果 使用镇痛泵患者留置导尿后尿路感染率为5.45％,未用镇痛泵者的尿路感染率为0.21％,两者之间差异有高度显著性(P<0.005)。结论 镇痛泵不能滥用,使用时要避免诱发感染的因素。     

Diuretic and hypotensive actions of torasemide in hypertensive models of rat

The diuretic and the antihypertensive actions of torasemide were examined in renal and genetic hypertensive rats and compared to the effects of furosemide. Oral administration of torasemide (1 and 3 mg/kg) elicited a dose-dependent increase in the excretion of urine and electrolytes and elevated the urinary Na/K ratio in both renal and genetic hypertensive rats. Torasemide and furosemide had a similar maximum diuretic effect in the normotensive Wistar rat and the spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR). However, the diuretic activity of furosemide was weaker in the renal hypertensive rat (RHR). Torasemide showed approximately 30 times greater diuretic potency than furosemide. Torasemide and furosemide demonstrated hypotensive action in hypertensive rat models, but not in the normotensive Wistar rat. Especially in the RHR, torasemide exhibited a more potent hypotensive action than furosemide. These results show that the diuretic and antihypertensive activities of torasemide are effective in various rat models of hypertension, while the diuretic activity of furosemide is weak in certain hypertensive rat models. © 1992 Wiley-Liss, Inc.     

Toluene vapor exposure and urinary excretion of hippuric acid among workers in China.

A factory survey was conducted in three provinces in China from 1985 to 1989. The time-weighted average toluene concentrations in breathing zone air were monitored by diffusive sampling, whereas hippuric acid (HA) concentrations in shift-end urine samples were measured by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Exposed workers (456 men and women) were those for whom toluene (up to 548 ppm toluene) accounted for greater than or equal to 90% of total exposure (by vapor concentration in ppm), whereas 517 nonexposed controls were recruited from the same factories or from factories of the same region. There was a linear correlation between the intensity of toluene exposure and HA concentration in the shift-end urine. Comparison of the results with findings in the literature shows that the toluene-induced increase in urinary HA concentration among workers in China is significantly smaller than the published values, whereas HA concentrations in urine samples from nonexposed controls are comparable to the levels previously reported.     

Measurement of free and total hydroxyproline by automated flow injection of serum or urine samples from maintenance hemodialysis patients with renal osteodystrophy

An automated measurement of total and free hydroxyproline in serum or urine is presented that uses flow injection analysis. After exclusion of nonspecific substances, hydroxyproline was oxidized by chloramine- T and L-cysteine with Ehrlich's reagent. The linearity obtained was from 3.8μmole/ L to 1.22 mmole/L with good precision (CV <3%). Comparison of the proposed method with HPLC yielded r = 0.939 as the correlation coefficient. Reference intervals of free and total hydroxyproline are 1.4–9.7 μmole/L, 3.8–27.2 μmole/L for serum, and 10.0–72.5 μmole/L, 25.2–303.6 μmole/L for urine, respectively. Serum free and total hydroxyproline levels in renal osteodystrophy patients on maintenance hemodialysis (N = 71) were significantly higher than in controls (P<0.0001). This method is superior to the use of HPLC with regard to stability of the color reaction. The measurement of serum free and total hydroxyproline is a useful marker for therapeutic observation of renal osteodystrophy patients. © 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc.     

端粒酶和妇科肿瘤的研究进展

端粒酶是一种RNA依赖的逆转录酶 ,能够延长染色体末端的端粒长度。它由三个主要部分组成———端粒酶RNA亚单位、端粒酶催化亚单位及连接二者的端粒酶相关蛋白。端粒酶激活是细胞永生化和肿瘤形成的关键步骤 ,其活性受到多种因素的调控。端粒酶催化亚单位hTERTmRNA可能是其激活的关键限速步骤。在妇科肿瘤的癌变过程中 ,端粒酶活性不同程度地升高 ,hTERT不断上调。端粒酶及其催化亚单位有可能成为妇科肿瘤筛查的一种重要的肿瘤标志物
