Diabetic bladder dysfunction / 中华医学杂志(英文版)

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To review studies on diabetic bladder dysfunction (DBD), a common and bothersome complication of diabetes mellitus.</p><p><b>DATA SOURCES</b>We performed a search of the English literature through PubMed. The key words used were "diabetes" and "bladder dysfunction" or "cystopathy". Our own data and perspective are included in the discussion.</p><p><b>STUDY SELECTION</b>Studies containing data relevant to DBD were selected. Because of the limited length of this article, we also referenced reviews that contain comprehensive amalgamations of relevant literature.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The classic symptoms of DBD are decreased bladder sensation, increased bladder capacity, and impaired bladder emptying with resultant elevated post-void residual urine. However, recent clinical and experimental evidence indicate a strong presence of storage problems such as urge incontinence in diabetes. Recent studies of DBD in animal models of type 1 diabetes have revealed temporal effects of diabetes, causing an early phase of compensatory bladder function and a later phase of decompensated bladder function. The pathophysiology of DBD is multifactorial, including disturbances of the detrusor, urothelium, autonomic nerves, and urethra. Polyuria and hyperglycemia play important but distinctive roles in induction of bladder dysfunction in type 1 diabetes. Polyuria causes significant bladder hypertrophy in the early stage of diabetes, whereas oxidative stress in the bladder caused by chronic hyperglycemia may play an important role in the late stage failure of bladder function.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>DBD includes time-dependent and mixed manifestations. The pathological alterations include muscle, nerve, and urothelium. Polyuria and hyperglycemia independently contribute to the pathogenesis of DBD. Treatments for DBD are limited. Future clinical studies on DBD in type 1 and type 2 diabetes should be investigated separately. Animal studies of DBD in type 2 diabetes are needed, from the natural history to mechanisms. Further understanding of the molecular mechanisms of DBD will provide multiple potential targets for therapeutic intervention.</p>

Effect of Anisodamine on Myocardial Reperfusion Injury / 中国医科大学学报

Objective: Our purpose was to study the effect of anisodamine on the injury of myocardium after myocardial ischemia reperfusion. Methods: Eighteen patients (ASA grade Ⅱto Ⅲ) scheduled for valve replacement, were randomly divided into 2 groups during extracorporeal circulation. Anisodamine (0.25 mg/kg) was given intravenously in the anisodamine group before reperfusion. Equivalent volumes of normal saline were administered in the control group. The central venous blood samples were collected at different time after ischemia and reperfusion. We then measured the concentrations of lactic dehydrogenase (LDH), creatine kinase (CK), and malondiadehyde (MDA) with biochemical methods. Results: The levels of serum LDH, CK, and plasma MDA increased significantly in the control group during ischemia and reperfusion. In the anisodamine group, the levels of serum LDH and CK increased. But the values were lower at corresponding time than those in the control group (P<0.05) during reperfusion. The plasma level of MDA unchanged in the anisodamine group during ischemia and reperfusion. The postoperative cardiac function recovered much more better in the anisodamine group. Conclusion: Anisodamine can reduce the degree of reperfusion injury. A certain protective effect on myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury exsists during valve replacement.

Differential metastasis-related gene analysis of prostate cancer cells isolated from primary tumor and spontaneous metastases in nude mice with orthotopic injection of PC-3M cells by cDNA microarray / 中国癌症杂志

Background and Purpose:Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers and the second leading cause of cancer-related death in Europan and North American males.The incidence of prostate cancer has also been increasing during the past few decades in China.It is widely accepted that this heterogeneity,which results from the tumor progression driven largely by genomic instability(genetic and/or epigenetic alterations)of tumor cells in primary tumor,endows specific populations of tumor cells with the unique character needed for invasion,migration,and metastasis colony formation in other organs and only these subpopulations possessing thost character can survive the potentially destructive journey from the primary tumor to the sites of metastases.The purpose of the present study was to explore the genes associated with invasion and metastasis of human prostate cancer cell line PC-3M in nude mice.Methods:After PC-3M cells were inoculated into orthotopic site(prostate) in a male nude mouse for two months,tumor cells were isolated from the primary tumor and lymph node metastasis,separately.Cell invasion and adhesion ability in vitro were first compared between two cells.Then metastasis-related genes differentially expressed between them were analyzed by utilizing cDNA microarray technique.Results:The in vitro cell invasion and adhesion potential of tumor cells from lymph node metastasis was significantly higher than those from primary tumor by 2.5 fold and 1.5 fold,respectively.Metastasis-related genes differentially expressed between those two sublines were identified,all of them were up-regulated in the tumor cells from lymph node metastasis and could be categorilized: 1.genes encoding cellular matrix-degrading proteolytic enzyme including cathepsin and MMP.2.genes encoding transcription factors.3.genes related to heterotypic adhesion of tumor cells.4.genes encoding cell surface receptors.Conclusions:There are significant differences in invasion and adhesion potential between cells from primary tumor and those from lymph node metastasis.Some differentially expressed molecules might be playing pivotal roles in promoting tumor cells to migrate from primary tumors to distant metastases,which may be helpful to elucidate the possible mechanism of metastasis in prostate cancer.
