AN OBSERVATION ON CURATIVE EFFECTS IN 76 CASES OF IMPOTENCE TREATED WITH ACUPUNCTURE AND ACUPOINT-INJECTION

76 patients of impotence were randomly divided into two groups.Of 28 cases inacupuncture group,18 were cured,5 effective and 5 ineffective.Of 48 cases in acupuncture plus acu-point-injection group,41 were cured,5 effective and 2 ineffective.The curative effect in the acupunc-ture plus acupoint-injeetion group was superior to that in the acupuncture group(P【0.01).

Misuse Of Viagra Could Cause Permanent Impotence

【选注者言:Viagra(注:香港人将它译成“伟哥”)是美国辉瑞制药公司制造的一种治疗阳痿的新药。5年前,美国科研人员在研制治疗心绞痛的新药“伟哥”时,意外发现它有壮阳的功效。1997年3月,“伟哥”获美国食品与药品管理局批准生产上市,现已成为美国治疗阳痿的首选药物,并向一些国家出口。但是目前在美国,患者必须到医院看病,并在医生的指导下才能用药。辉瑞制药公司也证实,在医生开出600万张处方后,在美国服用“伟哥”的患者已有130人死亡,其中大多数是死于心力衰竭。 本文向我们提供了这样一个可怕的事实:But the recreational use of Viagra in discos and nightclubs(舞厅和夜总会)among potent(有性交能力的)men has sparked concern among doctors.换言之,某些人并不是阳痿患者却将“伟哥”当作增强性生活快感的“兴奋剂”来使用。其中的形容词recreational就说明了这个意思。 我是一个泌尿科的医生,在网上读到此文,觉得很有必要将它介绍给广大读者。因为,在我接触的患者中,已有误服“伟哥”而出现严重副作用的患者。有些人从境外得到此药,出于好奇和无知,不适当地服用,危害极大! 特别是那些患有心力衰竭、中风、心律不齐、不定期心绞痛、冠心病以及有心脏病病史者要严格控制使用。高血压、低血压?

Bayer Impotence Drug Rivals Viagra

1998年美国辉瑞公司研制成功抗阳痿的Viagra(正式译名:万可艾。俗称“伟哥”)成为当年的一大新闻。此药的研制成功,不仅为“痿哥”一扫心头的阴霾,而且为辉瑞公司赢得了巨大的利润。残酷的商业竞争令“一枝独秀”的商品成为短命。本文告诉我们,继Viagra之后。又有两种治阳痿的药物问世,它们是:美国另一家公司研制的Cialis以及德国拜耳公司研制的vardenafil。本文不仅可以让读者作语言学习之用,还让我们感受到商业竞争中的“刀光剑影”。本文的一句难句是: Krensavage predicted Viagra, with its familiar brand name and Pfizer'smarketing might behind it, will continue to enjoy growing sales even if vardenafil and Cialis are approved and become popular. 译文:Krensavage预言,由于Viagra已经打响的品牌和辉瑞公司的市场营销能力,Viagra的销售量将继续增长,即使vardenafil和Cialis获得核准并走红市场。 难点在于原句里的with+复合宾语的结构的理解: with its familiar brand name and Pfizer's marketing might behind it 句中的might用作名词,含义是“力量”,而不能理解为情态动词。

Golding's Language View in Lord of the Flies and Darkness Visible

Beyond the stories,Golding spends much effort on an issue called"impotence of language"in his works,especially Lord of the Flies and Darkness Visible.Thus Golding's language view is worthwhile to research.With help of Lacan's theory of signifier and signified,this paper made a primary glance about Golding's language view within the two novels.

The effect of platelet-rich plasma on cavernous nerve regeneration in a rat model

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of platelet-rich plasma(PRP)on cavernous nerve(CN)regeneration and functional status in a nerve-crush rat model.Twenty-four Sprague-Dawley male rats were randomly divided into three equal groups:eight had a sham operation,eight underwent bilateral nerve crushing with no further intervention and eight underwent bilateral nerve crushing with an immediate application of PRP on the site of injury.Erectile function was assessed by CN electrostimulation at 3 months and nerve regeneration was assessed by toluidine blue staining of CN and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate(NADPH)-diaphorase staining of penile tissue.Three months after surgery,in the group that underwent bilateral nerve crushing with no further intervention,the functional evaluation showed a lower mean maximal intracavernous pressure(ICP)and maximal ICP per mean arterial pressure(MAP)with CN stimulation than those in the sham group.In the group with an immediate application of PRP,the mean maximal ICP and maximal ICP/MAP were significantly higher than those in the injured control group.Histologically,the group with the application of PRP had more myelinated axons of CNs and more NADPH-diaphorase-positive nerve fibres than the injured control group but fewer than the sham group.These results show that the application of PRP to the site of CN-crush injury facilitates nerve regeneration and recovery of erectile function.Our research indicates that clinical application of PRP has potential repairing effect on CN and peripheral nerves.

Therapeutic angiomyogenesis using human non-viral transduced VEGF₁₆₅-myoblasts

This article reviews the scientific development of angiomyogenesis using VEGF165-myoblasts, a patented biotechnology platform in regenerative medicine associated with Human Myoblast Genome Therapy (HMGT), also known as Myoblast Transfer Therapy (MTT). VEGF165-myoblasts are the leading biologics for angiomyogenesis. This review also compares the safety and efficacy of VEGF165-myoblasts transduced using adenoviral vectors, nanoparticles or liposomes, in anticipation of their application in clinical trials in the near future. VEGF165-myoblasts are differentiated myogenic cells capable of extensive division, natural cell fusion, nucleus transfer, cell therapy and genome therapy. Following transplantation they survive, develop and function to revitalize degenerative myocardium in heart failure and ischemic cardiomyopathy animal studies. VEGF165-myoblasts are second generation products of HMGT/MTT which replenishes live cells and genetically repairs degenerating myofibers in Type II diabetes, muscular dystrophies, aging dysfunction and disfigurement. Myoblasts have also been used to enhance skin and muscle appearance in cosmetology. We envision that VEGF165-myoblasts will provide better outcome than their non-tranduced counterparts. Myoblasts are not stem cells. Their competitive advantages over stem cells are presented.

Thermal Stresses and Theorem on Decomposition

The thermal expansion strain is considered as a special case of eigenstrain.The authors proved the theorem on decomposition of eigenstrain existing in a body into two constituents:Impotent eigenstrain(not causing stress in any point of a body)and nilpotent eigenstrain(not causing strain in any point of a body).According to this theorem,the thermal stress can be easily found through the nilpotent eigenstrain.If the eigenstrain is an impotent one,the thermal stress vanishes.In this case,the eigenstrain must be compatible.The authors suggest a new approach to measure of eigenstrain incompatibility and hence to estimate of thermal stresses.

A Psychoanalytical Study of the Father Figure in Family in the Trilogy of Henry Ⅵ

The paper aims to give a psychoanalytical study of the father and mother figure in Shakespeare's trilogy, Henry VI. It argues that the father figure is the stablising force of a prosperous society, and the disruption of the patriarchal system will be disastrous. Then the paper will give a close study of the relationship between king Henry and his wife in the domestic circle. It will conclude by making a speculation about Shakespeare's opinion about the patriarchy.

Ten-year experience with penile prosthetic surgery for the treatment of erectile dysfunction:outcomes of a tertiary referral center and predictors of early prosthetic infection

We aimed to evaluate ten-year outcomes of penile prosthesis(PP)implantation for the treatment of erectile dysfunction and to assess predictors of early prosthetic infection(EPI).We identified 549 men who underwent 576 PP placements between 2008 and 2018.Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to identify potential predictors of EPI.An EPI predictive nomogram was developed.Thirty-five(6.1%)cases of EPI were recorded with an explant rate of 3.1%.In terms of satisfaction,82.0%of the patients defined themselves as“satisfied,”while partner’s satisfaction was 88.3%.Diabetes(P=0.012),longer operative time(P=0.032),and reinterventions(P=0.048)were associated with EPI risk,while postoperative ciprofloxacin was inversely associated with EPI(P=0.014).Rifampin/gentamicin-coated 3-piece inflatable PP(r/g-c 3IPP)showed a higher EPI risk(P=0.019).Multivariate analyses showed a two-fold higher risk of EPI in diabetic patients,redo surgeries,or when a r/g-c 3IPP was used(all P<0.03).We showed that diabetes,longer operative time,and secondary surgeries were the risk factors for EPI.Postoperative ciprofloxacin was associated with a reduced risk of EPI,while r/g-c 3IPP had higher EPI rates without an increased risk of PP explant.After further validation,the proposed nomogram could be a useful tool for the preoperative counseling of PP implantation.
