This report analyzes the intracorporal lengths of 236 consecutive organically impotent men who underwent insertion of a penile prosthesis. The average right or left intracorporal length in this series was 20.9 cm, with a standard deviation of 2.2 cm. Intracorporal length ranged from 14-27 cm. This data may be used as reference ranges for penile prosthesis manufacturers, and for Urologists who implant prostheses or perform penile lengthening procedures. 相似文献

This paper describes interactive facilities for simulating abstract muscle actions using Rational Free Form Deformations (RFFD). The particular muscle action is simulated as the displacement of the control points of the control-unit for an RFFD defined on a region of interest. One or several simulated muscle actions constitute a Minimum Perceptible Action (MPA), which is defined as the atomic action unit, similar to Action Unit (AU) of the Facial Action Coding System (FACS), to build an expression. 相似文献

Erythrocyte Na+-Li+ countertransport shows an increased activity in essential hypertension and diabetic nephropathy, but its nature remains unknown. This amiloride-insensitive membrane transport may not be a mode of operation of the amiloride-sensitive NHE1, the only Na+-H+ exchange isoform found in human erythrocytes. Whether an independent, although unknown, amiloride-insensitive isoform mediates Na+-Li+ countertransport is unclear. Na+-H+ exchange activity was measured in acid-loaded erythrocytes. Dimethylamiloride, a specific inhibitor of Na+-H+ exchange and phloretin, a known inhibitor of Na+-Li+ countertransport, gave a reduction in H+-driven Na+ influx (by 31 and 37%, respectively). This effect was additive, and a 66% reduction in H+-driven Na+ influx was found in the presence of both inhibitors. Internal acidification, a stimulus for Na+-H+ exchange, enhanced Na+-Li+ countertransport activity (from 287 +/- 55 to 1213 +/- 165 micromol x Lcell(-1) h(-1), mean +/- SEM, P = 0.003). This transport remained sensitive to phloretin under both conditions. Conversely, external acidification decreased Na+-Li+ countertransport activity (as expected for a Na+-H+ exchanger). Competition between internal H+ and Li+ or Na+ for a common binding site was present. Finally, similar kinetic parameters for external Na+ characterized Na+-Li+ countertransport and the phloretin-sensitive component of H+-driven Na+ influx. These findings suggest that both Na+-Li+ countertransport and the amiloride-insensitive, phloretin-sensitive component of H+-driven Na+ influx can be mediated by a previously unrecognized novel amiloride-insensitive Na+-H+ exchange isoform in human erythrocytes. 相似文献

The distribution of two isoforms of spectrin in the adult mouse heart was investigated by Western blotting and immunocytochemistry by use of monospecific antibodies to erythrocyte spectrin and nonerythroid brain spectrin (240/235). Western blotting revealed proteins analogous to both isoforms of alpha-spectrin in adult heart. Light-microscopic immunocytochemistry indicated that erythroid spectrin was distributed throughout the myocardium, with immunofluorescence localized to plasma membranes, Z-lines, and intercalated discs. Antibodies to brain spectrin (240/235) exhibited staining throughout the heart, with a generally diffuse distribution except for the prominent immunoreactivity associated with the intercalated discs. Nonerythroid spectrin immunofluorescence was detected in the endothelial cells of the endocardium and the mesothelial cell lining of the epicardium. Erythrocyte spectrin was not detected in the endocardium or the epicardium. The identification and localization of spectrin isoforms in the mammalian heart suggest the importance of spectrin proteins in the structural integrity and proper function of cardiac cells and tissues. This is the first demonstration of two different alpha-spectrin subunits in the mammalian heart. 相似文献

Microalbuminuria is still the only early abnormality of the diabetic kidney that has an established prognostic value. Microalbuminuria evolves into clinical nephropathy and renal failure in a majority of cases of insulin-dependent diabetic patients, and is defined by the detection of urinary albumin excretion rates of 20-200 microg/min in timed urine collections. The occurrence of microalbuminuria at rates of 5-27 % of non-proteinuric patients and cost-benefit considerations justify the screening for microalbuminuria in diabetic outpatient clinics. Both near-normalisation of glycaemic control and treatment with ACE-inhibitors are indicated in patients with insulin-dependent diabetes to correct the progression of micro- to macroalbuminuria. Other therapeutic perspectives are being considered, but the current notion that the available therapies may not arrest the course of nephropathy at this stage suggests that earlier interventions may be required. Prevention of microalbuminuria and overt nephropathy may require a primary approach to the subset of patients with a genetic predisposition to this complication, and several studies (candidate gene or genomic scan with microsatellite probes) now address the chromosomal loci and the nature of the genes that may be involved. 相似文献

The results of a polycentric study to assess the reference values of urinary mercury (U-Hg) in four Italian cities are presented. A total of 383 subjects were selected on the basis of standardised criteria by a questionnaire on personal habits, lifestyle, occupational or non-occupational exposure to Hg, medical history, number and area of dental amalgams. U-Hg was determined by hydride generation atomic absorption method (HG-AAS), with a detection limit of 0.5 microg/l and by flow injection (FI) inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), with a detection limit of 0.03 microg/l. The median value of U-Hg, determined by HG-AAS, was 0.78 microg/g creatinine (0.75 for males and 0.83 for females), with 5 degrees and 95 degrees percentiles, respectively, of 0.17 and 3.66 microg/g creatinine. When determined by FI ICP-MS, the median value was 0.79 microg/g creatinine (0.77 for males and 0.79 for females) with 5 degrees and 95 degrees percentiles of, respectively, 0.12 and 5.02 microg/g creatinine. Among the independent variables, city of origin, area of dental amalgams, fish intake and tobacco smoking significantly influenced the U-Hg levels. The U-Hg reference values from this survey are lower than those from other recent investigations, probably due to characteristics and selection of the examined individuals and to the strict control of pre-analytical and analytical factors of variability. 相似文献

Hydrophilic magnetic microgels were synthesized by a free-radical polymerization in inverse emulsion. Two sizes of magnetic microgels were obtained depending on the initial droplet size of the emulsion. As the polymer matrix is a hydrogel, the novelty of this paper is that the magnetic particles are incorporated from an aqueous magnetic fluid instead of an organic one. In this paper, we underline the physicochemical aspects necessary to control the proper dispersion of the magnetic particles in the polymer matrix. The size, the magnetic content and the swelling degree of micron-sized and sub-micron sized magnetic microgels are characterized. 相似文献
