ABSTRACT
Angiomyfibroblastoma (AMF)is a kind of rare benign tumour. The clinical and imaging findings of AMF are nonspecific. In October 2019, 1 case of Angiomyfibroblastoma of perineum was admitted to Heze Municipal Hospital for surgical treatment. Final pathological diagnosis was AMF. So far, neither recurrence nor metastasis has been detected for 5 months.
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the effect of drug combinations on the blood flow after reduction of the testicular torsion in rabbits.Methods From October 2014 to June 2015,36 male rabbits (weighing 1.8-2.4 kg,10-14 months of age) were randomly divided into experimental group and control group,18 in each group.Produced by surgical testicular torsion model (720° counterclockwise rotation of the left side testicle),every rabbit was accepted surgery reset after 9 hours and found all twisted testicles were dark.After fomentation with warm salt water,all the testicles were observed no significant improvement in colors,and no fresh blood flow after opening tunica albuginea,then all the testicles were retained and fixed.Low molecular dextran(5 ml/kg,ear marginal vein injection,1/d),papaverine(1.5 mg/kg,intramuscular,3/d) and low molecular weight heparin sodium (200 IU/kg,subcutaneous,l/d) were applied to promote testicular revascularization for 5 days in experimental group,and penicillin (40 000 U/kg,intramuscular,1/d) for 7 days.Control group was only given penicillin (40 000 U/kg,intramuscular,1/d) to prevent wound infection.Then Color Doppler ultrasound was used to observe the testicular blood flow siganals that were divided into 0,1,2,3 classes.Class 2 and class 3 could be considered as testicular survival.After each scrotum was opened,according to color,texture of testicle and whether the fresh blood flowing out when tunica albuginea was opened,to determine whether the testicle was alive.The testicle was ruddy,flexible,and fresh blood was observed,which could prove testicular survival.Results In experimental group,the testicular blood flow siganals:0 class 4 cases,1 class 3 cases,2 class 4 cases,3 class 7 cases.In control group,the testicular blood flow siganals:0 class 9 cases,1 class 2 cases,2 class 4 cases,3 class 3 cases.Surgical exploration found 11 cases of testicular survival in experimental group and 7 cases in control group,which was significantly difference (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The combined application of low molecular dextran,papaverine,low molecular weight heparin sodium can promote the recovery of testicular blood after reduction of testicular torsion,and improve testicular survival rate.
ABSTRACT
To study the expression of hypoxia inducible factor-1alpha (HIF-1alpha) protein in prostate cancer (Pca) and its biological significance, the expression of HIF-1alpha was assayed by means of immunohistochemical technique in 42 prostate cancer, 12 prostatic intraepithelial neoplasm (PIN) and 9 normal prostate tissue (NP) specimens. Western blot was used to examine the expression of HIF-1alpha in prostate cancer cell line (PC-3M) induced by different oxygen tension. HIF-1alpha expression was positive in 33 Pca and 9 PIN specimens, and the positive rate of HIF-1alpha was higher in distant metastasis patients than in patients without metastasis of prostate cancer (P<0.05), while there was no expression of HIF-1alpha in NP. The level of HIF-1alpha in PC-3M significantly increased with the decrease of oxygen tension (P<0.01). Overexpression of HIF-1alpha is the preliminary event of the formation of Pca, which may induce carcinoma into malignant phenotype. Thus it may serve as an early diagnosis marker and the novel target for Pca treatment.
