Diagnosis and Treatment of Prostatic Carcinoma Accidentally Discovered(report of 19 cases) / 医学研究杂志

Objective To explore the morbidity,the diagnosis and the method of therapy of accidental prostatic carcinoma. Methods From Jan of 1984 to May of 2004, 19 cases of prostatic accidental carcinoma were confirmed on pathological examination after prostatectomy for BPH. Bilateral orchiectomy and Estrogen treatment were performed in 6 cases and Bilateral orchiectomy in 7 cases alone but no treatment in 6 cases. Results 5 of the patients wereA1 stage and 14 A2 stage. 12 of them were followed up for 3 to 120 months. 14 of them survived and one untreated died of metastasis to pubis and vertebra after one year. Conclusions Most patients of prostatic accidental carcinoma are A1 and have a better prognosis. Bilateral orchiectomy and Estrogen treatment might improve the patients’s survival rate.

Study on Protective Effects of TFBP on Human Immortalized Keratinocytes Line HaCaT / 环境与健康杂志

Objective To investigate the oxidative damage of lead acetate and sodium arsenite to human immortalized keratinocytes line HaCaT and the protective effects of TFBP extracted from the leaves of broussoneria papyifera. Methods Cultured immotlalized keratinocytes line HaCaT were treated by 0.1 mmol/L lead acetate and 5.0 ?mol/L sodium arsenite respectively,and 0～200 mg/L TFBP were added to the culture media at the same time. The contents of malondialdehyde(MDA?雪,the activities of superoxide dismutase(SOD)and glutathione peroxidase(GSH-Px)in the cultured HaCaT cells were determined. The protective effects of TFBP at different concentrations were evaluated. Results 0.1 mmol/L lead acetate caused oxidative damage to HaCaT cells markedly. When the concentrations were increased to more than 100 mg/L,TFBP had certain protective effects from the damage induced by lead acetate with the decrease of the MDA levels from 4.23 ?mol/L to 1.87 ?mol/L and the increase of the SOD levels from 25.90 U/mg Pro to 37.12 U/mg Pro,while the activities of GSH-Px showed no significant change. The activities of SOD and GSH-Px were increased in the cultured cells treated by sodium arsenite with 150 mg/L and 200 mg/L TFBP. Conclusion Lead acetate and sodium arsenite could cause significant oxidative damage to HaCaT cells and TFBP had certain protective effects on the cells from the oxidative damage induced by lead acetate and sodium arsenite under the conditions of this study.
