METHODS: Immunohistochemical method was used to examine the expression of CDw75 in 72 cases of the gastric carcinoma and adjacent normal gastric mucosa, and the percentage of the cells positively stained with CDw75 was calculated using a computer-aided microscopic image analysis system. RESULTS: CDw75 was not expressed in normal gastric mucosa but detected in 37 of the 72 neoplastic gastric lesions. The expression of CDw75 was associated with the tumor progression as indicated by its close correlation with the depth of the tumor infiltration (X^2=18.415, P<0.01), TNM stage (X^2=10.419, P<0.05) and lymph node metastasis (X^2=6.675, P<0.01). The overall survival rate of the patients with positive CDw75 expression (32.4%) was significantly lower than that of the patients without CDw75 expression (71.4%) (P<0.01). There was no significant correlation between the expression of CDw75 and the sex and age and histological type of patients (P>0.05). CONCLUSION: These findings suggest that the expression of CDw75 is a significant histopathological marker for more advanced stage of gastric carcinoma and indicates a poor prognosis for the patients.展开更多

The structures of 1 and 2 were elucidated as kaempferol-7-O-α-L-arabinosyl-3-O-β-D-6'-acetylglucopyranoside and kaempferol -7-O-α-L-arabinosyl-3-O-β-D-3',6'-diacetylglucopyranoside respectively.展开更多

Methods: The sexual function of 167 patients with and 114 normai controls without premature ejaculation (PE) were evaluated with CIPE. All subjects were married and had regular sexual activity. The CIPE has 10 questions, focusing on libido, erectile function, ejaculatory latency, sexual satisfaction and difficulty in delaying ejaculation, self-confi dence and depression. Each question was responded to on a 5 point Likert-type scale. The individual question score and the total scale score were analyzed between the two groups. Results: There were no significant differences between the age, duration of marriage and educational level (P > 0.05) of patients with and vvithout PE and normai controls. The mean latency of patients with PE and normai controls were 1.6±1.2 and 10.2±9.5 minutes, respectively. Significant differences between patients with (26.7±4.6) PE and normai controls (41.9±4.0) were observed on the total score of CIPE (P < 0.01). Using binary logistic regression analysis, PE was significantly related to five questions of the original measure. They are the so-called the CIPE-5 and include: ejaculatory latency, sexual satisfaction of patients and sexual partner, difficulty in delaying ejaculation, anxiety and depression. Receiver Operat ing Characteristic (ROC) curve analysis of CIPE-5 questionnaire indicated that the sensitivity and specificity of CIPE were 97.60 % and 94.74 %, respectively. Employing the total score of CIPE-5, patients with PE could be divided into three groups: mild (>15 point) 19.8 %, moderate (10-14 point) 62.8 % and severe (< 9 point) 16.7 %. Conclusion: The CIPE-5 is a useful method for the evaluation of sexual function of patients with PE and can be used as a clinical endpoint for clinical trials studying the efficacy of pharmacologica] intervention.展开更多
