[Urological complications in 1223 kidney transplants].

Objective: To review retrospectively the urological complications in 1 223 kidney transplants.

Methods: A total of 1 223 kidney transplants were divided into ureteroneocystostomy group (n = 948) and ureteroureterostomy group (n = 275) according to the methods of urinary tract reconstruction. The incidence and management of urological complications such as urinary fistula, obstruction of ureter, vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) and urinary tract infection (UTI) were summarized respectively.

[Testis homotransplantation: a report of 12 cases].

Objective: To evaluate the effect of testis homotransplantation in the treatment of androgen deficiency and infertility.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 12 cases of testis homotransplantation.

Results: Surgical success was achieved in 11 cases, all with a significantly increased level of serum testosterone, and markedly improved secondary sex characteristics and sexual function.

[High throughput screening and analysis of prostate cancer-related genes through mining databases].

Background & Objective: Investigation of differentially expressed genes in prostate cancer tissues may help to understand the molecular mechanism of prostate cancer and provide diagnostic markers or new targets for therapy. The Cancer Genome Anatomy Project (CGAP) public database provides an unprecedented opportunity for cancer researchers to mine genes differentially expressed in cancer tissues by bioinformatic methods. This study was to explore the feasibility of incorporating the Internet-available Serial Analysis of Gene Expression (SAGE) and cDNA databases to find human prostate cancer-related genes.

[Study on the effect of aluminum (III) on NADH in the presence of NH4Ac in aqueous solution].

This paper studied the interactions of Al (III ) and dihydronicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) in nearly neutral aqueous solutions (pH 6.5) by means of UV-Vis and 1H, 13C-NMR techniques. The results suggested that Al (III) interacts with NADH to form Al-NADH complexes by occupying the binding sites of phosphate oxygen atoms O(N)1 and O(A)1 and ribose ring hydroxyl groups, which are the potential recognition sites for substrates, coenzyme and enzyme.
