男性勃起功能障碍的基础研究进展

男性勃起功能障碍是指男性持续性或反复发作的难以达到和维持阴茎勃起来完成性交和满意的性活动的病理现象。阴茎的勃起依赖于一系列正常的神经和血管性反应,包括正常的性心理反应,正常的生理结构,正常的内分泌,神经和血管功能。任何一个环节的     

Revisit on congenital bronchopulmonary vascular malformations: a haphazard branching theory of malinosculations and its clinical classification and implication.

We propose a haphazard branching theory to support the concept of bronchopulmonary malinosculations, and we apply this theory to classify congenital bronchopulmonary vascular malformation (BPVM) based on the anatomical results we have found. Between January 1990 and December 1997, a total of 22 pediatric patients (10 male and 12 female), aged 2 days to 14 years (median, 19.6 months), with congenital BPVM were enrolled in this retrospective study. Study modalities include the clinical features and plain chest films (n = 22) plus at least two of the following: echocardiography (n = 13), barium esophagraphy (n = 2), bronchoscopy (n = 4), contrast bronchography (n = 8), high-resolution direct coronal CT (n = 1) and electron beam or ultrafast CT (n = 1) of the chest, MRI (n = 10), MRA (n = 1), contrast cineangiocardiography (n = 9), surgery (n = 11), or autopsy (n = 2). The salient clinical features were recurrent lung infections in 14 patients, acute respiratory distress in 13, associated cardiovascular malformations in 8, dextroversion in 7, congestive heart failure in 7, dextrocardia in 4, and complex congenital heart diseases in 4. There were abnormal openings (malinosculations) of the pulmonary airway in 20 patients: to an artery in 12, to a vein in 8, and to the lung parenchyma in 9. These 22 patients with congenital BPVM can be classified into bronchial malinosculation (10 cases), arterial malinosculation (2 cases), and bronchoarterial malinosculation (10 cases). Congenital BPVM can be classified in terms of bronchopulmonary malinosculation based upon a haphazard branching theory, in which abnormal communications between two independent systems (primitive foregut system and aortic-pulmonary arch system) occurred coincidentally rather than causally.     

Priapism: a refined approach to diagnosis and treatment

The recent introduction of intracorporeal injections of papaverine and phentolamine for the diagnosis and treatment of impotence has resulted in an increased incidence of iatrogenic priapism. Based on our research into penile hemodynamics we propose a refined approach to all types of priapism. Intracorporeal blood gas and pressure monitoring should be used to differentiate ischemic (low flow) from nonischemic (high flow) types. Most cases of papaverine-induced or phentolamine-induced priapism will respond to aspiration alone or in combination with intracorporeal instillation of a diluted alpha-adrenergic agent. In spontaneous priapism alpha-adrenergic agents can be tried first if patients have only mild or no ischemia. In patients with severe ischemia stagnant blood should be evacuated and a shunt procedure should be performed to allow metabolic replenishment of tissue. Intracorporeal pressure monitoring will help to determine the size and number of shunts needed to re-establish corporeal circulation.     

阴茎勃起神经再生模型和机制的研究

探明神经性勃起功能障碍(NED)的分子生物学机制以期对该类疾病进行神经调控干预,是男科学研究的当务之急。本文回顾了急性神经损伤、前列腺癌、糖尿病和帕金森病所致的NED的研究进展。通过利用大鼠阴茎勃起神经的盆腔大神经节(MPG),在体外构建一个三维培养体系来研究各种生长因子和细胞信号通路对神经再生的影响。体外结果表明脑源性神经生长因子(BDNF)通过JAK/STAT信号通路可显著促进NED的恢复,并在体内证实了该效应。因此,通过调控JAK/STAT信号通路来达到神经调控干预措施预防治疗神经性勃起功能障碍成为可能。

Immunoregulatory effects of phospholipase A2 (PLA2) on the proliferation of human lymphocytes

Extracellular phospholipase A2 (PLA2) is a proinflammatory enzyme found especially in the inflammatory exudate to modulate blood flow to areas of antigen stimulation. In this study we found that PLA2 exerted a biphasic effect on the proliferation of phytohemagglutinin (PHA)-stimulated human mononuclear cells (PHA MNC). At low concentrations range from 0.001 to 1 U/ml, PLA2 enhanced the proliferation of PHA MNC (maximal increase was 37.0 +/- 5.67%). Conversely, at concentrations over 10 U/ml, PLA2 markedly suppressed the PHA-induced MNC proliferation (maximal decrease was 88.86 +/- 2.89%). PLA2 was non-toxic to lymphocytes after three days culture, unless the concentration was higher than 100 U/ml. The membrane polarization of PHA-stimulated lymphocytes was also increased by PLA2 at a low concentration. In addition, PLA2 displayed a similar effect on the proliferation of streptokinase-streptodornase (SK/SD) or allogeneic cell stimulated lymphocytes. The change of lymphocyte proliferation by PLA2, was parallel to the change of percentage of helper T cells. Furthermore--a CD4-rich population was proved more susceptible to PLA2 effect than a CD8-rich population. Para-bromophenacyl bromide (pBPB), an irreversible inhibitor of PLA2, abrogated the biphasic effect of PLA2 on PHA MNC proliferation. These results suggest that PLA2 plays a regulatory role on immune reactions by modulating the percentage of helper T cells.     

Blood gas analysis in drug-induced penile erection

To elucidate the hemodynamic changes during erection, we measured corporeal blood gases in 6 monkeys before, during, and after erection induced by either papaverine or phentolamine or a combination of the two. Papaverine alone caused a strong erection (maximal tumescence and rigidity) by means of a rapid, large increase in pO2 and pCO2 with a pH drop to the acidic range. Phentolamine alone caused 'delayed' tumescence with less rigidity; the intracorporeal pO2 level increased, but pCO2 and pH values did not change significantly. The combination of both drugs offered no advantage over papaverine alone. We conclude that papaverine is a potent erection-inducing drug that acts in a bimodal manner, namely, it increases the arterial inflow and, at the same time, decreases the venous outflow. Phentolamine affects the arterial component of erectile function only.
