[Expression of hypoxia inducible factor-1alpha and glucose transporter protein 1 in renal and bladder cancers and the clinical significance thereof].

Objective: To investigate the protein expression of hypoxia inducible factor-1alpha (HIF-1alpha) and glucose transporter protein 1 (Glut-1) in renal cancer and bladder cancers and the clinical significance thereof.

Methods: TransAMTMELISA was used to detect the protein expression of HIF-1alpha in the tissue sections from 25 patients with bladder transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) and 16 patients with renal clear cell carcinoma resected during operation and small amounts of normal renal and bladder tissues far from the cancer tissue resected simultaneously. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the protein expression of Glut-1 in tissue sections from 58 patients with bladder carcinoma transitional cell carcinoma and 38 patients with renal clear cell carcinoma resected during operation.

[Predictive value of serum inhibin B levels as an indicator of the presence of testicular spermatozoa in nonobstructive azoospermia].

Objective: To evaluate the predictive value of serum inhibin B (INH B) levels as an indicator of the presence of testicular spermatozoa in nonobstructive azoospermia.

Methods: Forty patients with nonobstructive azoospermia (NOA), 20 patients with obstructive azoospermia (OA), and 10 fertile volunteers were involved in this study. A chemoluminescence method was used to measure the levels of FSH; Inhibin B was analysed by using sandwich enzyme-linked immuno-sorbent assay.

[Clinical research on combined therapy of diane-35 with modified yougui pill on polycystic ovarian syndrome].

Objective: To investigate the clinical efficacy of integrative traditional Chinese and Western medicine on polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOC).

Methods: Sixty-three patients with polycystic ovarian syndrome were randomly allocated into 2 groups, 31 patients orally administered with diane-35 in the Western medicine group (WMG) and 32 patients treated with conventional controlled medicine plus modified Yougui Pill in the integrative medicine group (IMG). Changes of relevant hormones and clinical syndromes in patients were detected before treatment, after 3 cyclic treatment and at the 6th cycle after treatment.
