阴茎包埋对海绵体内一氧化氮合酶的影响

目的:探讨阴茎包埋对海绵体内一氧化氮合酶(NOS)活性的影响。方法:通过建立大鼠隐匿阴茎模型获得实验标本,分2个月组、4个月组和6个月组进行观测,每组80只大鼠。各阶段中包括包埋组(n=50)、假手术组(n=15)和正常组(n=15)。称量大鼠体重和海绵体重量后,采用化学比色法检测海绵体内NOS活性。结果:各阶段包埋组阴茎海绵体重量、体重及两者的比值与正常组和假手术组比较均无显著性差异(P>0.05);包埋降低大鼠阴茎海绵体组织的NOS活性(2个月组P>0.05,4个月组P<0.05,6个月组P<0.01)。结论:阴茎包埋可影响海绵体内NOS活性,且与包埋时间呈正相关,但对海绵体外观和重量无明显影响。

Buried Penis Decreases Nitric 0xide Synthase of the Corpus Cavernosum

OBJECTIVE: To explore the influence of buried penis on nitric oxide synthase (NOS) activity of the corpus cavernosum in rats. METHODS: The experimental model of concealed penis was established by intra-pocket-suture of the root of the penis. Two hundred and forty rats were equally randomized into a 2, a 4 and a 6 months group, each further divided into a buried (n = 50), a sham operation (n = 15) and a normal subgroup (n = 15). The development of the corpus cavernosum was surveyed by measuring its weight and the ratio to the body weight, followed by determination of NOS activity in the corpus cavernosum by spectrophotometry. RESULTS: No significant differences were found in the corpus cavernosum weight, the body weight and their ratio among the buried, sham operation and normal groups in any experimental stage (P > 0.05). Buried penis decreased NOS activity in the 4- and 6-month groups (P < 0.05 and P < 0.01) compared with the normal group, but effected no significant change in the 2-month group. CONCLUSION: Buried penis decreases the NOS activity of the corpus cavernosum in a positively time-related manner, but with no significant influence on its appearance and weight.
