用体外器官培养方法研究EDCs对新生小鼠睾丸的影响

目的 通过已建立的小鼠睾丸体外培养系统,研究四种内分泌干扰物（Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals,EDCs）对男性内分泌系统的影响。 方法 将新生小鼠的睾丸组织在体外环境中培养24h,而后在培养基中分别加入浓度为0.1μM, 1μM, 10μM and 100μM的四种（DEHP、MEHP、NP、p, p’-DDE）内分泌干扰物并培养72h,同时设置对照组;培养结束后进行组织学观察,测定冻存培养基中睾酮和抑制素βB (INH-βB)的分泌水平,同时测定细胞色素P450侧链裂解酶(P450Scc)、3β-羟基类固醇脱氢酶(3β-HSD)、细胞色素P45017α-羟化酶(P450C17)和波形蛋白（vimentin）的基因表达情况。 结果 所有剂量组中睾酮的分泌水平均发生改变;P450Scc、3β-HSD、P450C17和INH-βB蛋白质的表达及mRNA水平均受到四种内分泌干扰物的影响（P<0.05）;DEHP和MEHP降低了波形蛋白的mRNA水平（P<0.05）,而NP和p, p’-DDE对波形蛋白没有显著影响（P>0.05）。 结论 本研究建立的体外培养新生小鼠睾丸模型中,所选的四种已知EDCs改变了两种睾丸激素水平,三种类固醇合成酶以及与支持细胞功能相关的波形蛋白的表达。     

中国男性新兵MMPI测查结果与分析

协作组对来自２１个省、自治区的男性汉族新兵进行ＭＭＰＩ测查，并与中国男性、１６～２５岁组及中学学历组常模进行比较，发现①中国男性新兵有紧张、焦虑、情绪不稳、易激惹，夸张或表现自己，强迫思维或强迫行为，或为兴趣狭窄、自责、过分关心自身健康或有较多躯体不适等心理卫生问题；②外向性和神经症性的个性倾向较突出；③新兵组的Ｈｓ、Ｐａ、Ｐｔ、Ｍａ分均值显著高于常模组，Ｍｆ、Ｓｉ、Ｄ、Ｐｄ、Ｓｃ分均值显著低于常模组。提示部队的心理卫生工作应始于新兵入伍时。     

Behavioral effects of hashish in mice

The acute and subchronic effects of hashish extract (20 mg ⁹-THC/kg) on the social interactions between two drug-treated residents and an untreated intruder male were investigated. In this analysis 28 different behavioral elements were recorded.A single drug application suppressed all categories of behavior, except submissive behavior and flight, in dominant and subordinate residents. Treated animals were less active than controls and immobility was very frequent. An elevated total activity, due to an increase in non-social activities, was observed in the untreated intruder males of this group. Social investigation as well as submissive behavior and flight were reduced in these animals.On introduction of an untreated male after the fourth drug treatment of the residents, the drugged males showed tolerance to the sedative and most of the other behavioral effects of the drug, and intruder males behaved quite normally.The formation of a dominant-subordinate relation within the group was influenced neither by a single nor by repeated drug treatment.The acute and subchronic effects of hashish extract on social, especially aggressive behavior of males are compared to those described in previous papers and the variation in the results of the different studies is discussed.     

Effect of active immunization to luteinizing-hormone-releasing hormone on the fertility and histoarchitecture of the reproductive organs of male rat

Summary The feasibility of using a vaccine against luteinizing-hormone-releasing factor for supression of pituitary and gonadal functions has been indicated for some time. Antibody production against this low-molecular-weight, naturally occurring decapeptide, however, requires to be coupled to a carrier protein to enhance its immunogenicity. LHRH was coupled to diphtheria toxoid (DT). Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats with a mean basal body weight of 200g were immunized with anti-LHRH-DT (20 g/injection/rat) at four-week intervals. An equal number of unexposed animals served as controls. Six animals were killed every two weeks up the end of the week 43. The vaccination schedule did not have any effect on the gain in body weight, nor was any adverse effect of vaccination observed in the course of the investigations. The pituitary, prostate, epididymis, testes, seminal vesicles, adrenal and thyroid were excised for determination of organ weight and histological examination. The adrenal, pituitary and thyroid showed no remarkable weight changes during the observation period, whereas the weights of the reproductive organs demonstrated significant reductions compared to those of the control group. The histopathology revealed marked to significant changes in the gonads and the accessory sex organs including the prostate. A progressive phase of regeneration of spermatogenesis was evident 98 days after vaccination. Total recovery of spermatogenesis was observed 300 days after vaccination. The mating studies showed the return of fertility 300 days after vaccination. The litters borne were normal. Prostate showed recovery after 154 days of vaccination. Our observations lend strong support to the hypothesis that anti-LHRH vaccine can be effectively used on the management of prostate carcinoma. If the vaccination is given together with a suitable dose of long-acting androgen, contained in an adequate delivery system, the regimen may be used for the regulation of male fertility.     

Prolongation of the ejaculation latency in the male rat by thioridazine and chlorimipramine

Thioridazine (3 mg/kg) and chlorimipramine (1.5–6.0 mg/kg) prolonged the ejaculation latency and increased the number of mounts but did not change the number of intromissions preceding ejaculation. Blockade of peripheral and central noradrenaline receptors by phentolamine and phenoxybenzamine respectively resulted in a suppression of all aspects of the sexual behavior with increasing doses. dl-5-HTP (25–100 mg/kg) in combination with an inhibitor of peripheral 5-HTP decarboxylase (benserazide, 25 mg/kg) produced, like chlorimipramine and thioridazine, a prolongation of ejaculation latency and an increase in the number of mounts preceding ejaculation. Selective inhibition of 5-HT reuptake however, by zimelidine (0–20 mg/kg) or alaproclate (0–20 mg/kg) did not affect the mating behavior. At higher doses of these drugs some animals failed to initiate sexual activities. There was an increase in the postejaculatory interval but no change in the ejaculatory latency.It is concluded that the prolonged ejaculation latencies observed following treatment with thioridazine or chlorimipramine is not due to a blockade of central or peripheral adrenergic -receptors.     

Comparison of preputial sac and urine cultures in healthy children

The aim of the present study was to examine subpreputial bacteriology and to compare it with the urine cultures of healthy male children. Seventy-two male children were divided into two groups as A and B according to age. In both groups preputial sac and urine cultures were taken simultaneously. Gram (+) enteric cocci were the most common isolated pathogens from the preputial sac in group B. Enterobacter, E. coli and staphylococci species were isolated from the urine cultures of three patients in group B. We could not find any difference between the preputial sac swabs of group A and B patients, but the isolation rate of urine cultures of group A patients was significantly higher than group B (p < 0.05). The findings of the present study support a potential role of the prepuce acting as a reservoir of faecal bacteria in the pathogenesis of UTI in male infants, especially in the first year of life. Improved penile hygiene after the first year of life does not alter the subpreputial bacteriology, but significantly decreases the contamination of urine. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.
