Although many cases of impotence are associated with “hidden” organic lesions undetectable by normal clinical assessment, and only detectable by paraclinical examination, it is obvious that interactions between psychological and factors often prevail in such cases. The paper describes the main psychological factors implicated in impotence, as well as recent data wich start to provide an explanation of the mechanisms by which psychological factors perturb sexuality. At the peripheral level, stress-induced sympathetic hyperactivity probably inhibits erection by causing contraction of the cavernosal smooth muscle. At a central level, animal experimentation and results from the pharmacological treatment of human impotence, suggest that psychological factors might inhibit sexual drive, and perhaps erection, through α 2—adrenergic receptors and the hypersecretion of endogenous opioids. These data open some highly stimulating pharmacological pespectives.  相似文献

Bayesian methods for estimating dose response curves from linearized multi-stage models in quantal bioassay are studied. A Gibbs sampling approach with data augmentation is employed to compute the Bayes estimates. In addition, estimation of the “relative additional risk” and the “risk specific dose” is studied. Model selection based on conditional predictive ordinates from cross-validated data is developed. Model adequacy is addressed by means of a posterior predictive tail-area test.  相似文献

The long-term conservation of biodiversity and related ecosystems goods and services of the Autonomous Region of Madrid is jeopardized by the intensive resource-consuming development model followed by the region in the past few decades. This paper presents the aggregated results of the first integrated assessment of the protected areas of the Autonomous Region of Madrid (Spain) with the System for the Integrated Assessment of Protected Areas (SIAPA). Detailed results are also provided for individual protected areas as supplementary data. The assessment was done during 2009–2010, on ten protected areas differing in their sizes (from 2.5 to 52,796 ha), protection categories (seven categories) and types of ecosystems present. Comparison of results from both assessment models of the SIAPA (the Complete Model and the Simplified Model) is also presented. The results from the Complete Model show that eight out of the ten protected areas of the Autonomous Region of Madrid are currently ineffective. The poorest partial indexes overall were: “State of Conservation” and “Social and Economic Context”. The only indexes significantly correlated with the effectiveness of a protected area were: the “State of Conservation” (r = 0.851**) and the “Social Perception and Valuation” (r = 0.786**). Although not as relevant as was thought, “Management” and the other non-significant factors are likely to influence the effectiveness of protected areas as well. The results for the Simplified Model are slightly better than those for the Complete Model, although this is probably a specific result of this assessment. The two models of the SIAPA were very significantly correlated, although their aggregated results should not be compared directly.  相似文献

“Erectile dysfunction” is a poor term and should be replaced by “erectile insufficiency”, as although everybody knows the function of erections obtained in response to sexual excitation, the role of nocturnal erections (about 95% of erection time) is unknown. Although erectile insufficiency is generally experienced as a cruel handicap, it may not justify the status of a disease. It is also questionable to make it a psychiatric illness. Finally, erection and sexuality in general, should not be confined within certain norms, even when these norms are defined by the medical profession. However, the physician is faced with all these problems presented by this normal man who consults for impotence at a time when drugs are now available on the market, which are able to induce or facilitate erection (this latter group was previously called aphrodisiacs).  相似文献

We provide data on several aspects of sexual behaviour: masturbation, age at first intercourse, sexual practices during first intercourse, homosexuality and heterosexuality, sexual practices over a lifetime, sexual activity in the past twelve months, frequency of sexual intercourse, last sexual intercourse, achieving orgasm (through vaginal penetration, masturbation by partners, fellatio and cunnilingus), sexual dysfunctions. Data come from recent national sex surveys in: Great Britain (1990–91; n=18.876), Finland (1991–92; n=2250), the United States (1992; n="3432) and especially from the ACSF survey (n=20.055), the French national telephone survey on sexual behaviour conducted between September 1991 and February 1992. Some results about the prevalence of sexual dysfunctions in sexually active men 18 to 69 years old, in France (in %):
  • - “You do not have an erection (impotence)”
  • - “often”: 7%, “sometimes”: 12%
  • -“You ejaculate too early, even before entering you partner” “often”: 5%; “sometimes”: 16%
  • - “You ejaculate too soon, upon or shortly after entering your partner” “often”: 10%; “sometimes”: 27%
  • - “It takes you too long to ejaculate once you have entered your partner” “often”: 4%; “sometimes”: 16%
  • - “You fail to ejaculate at all” “often”: 2%; “sometimes”: 5%
  • - “You don't have an orgasm” “often”: 7%; “sometimes”: 7%
  • - “You feel no or insufficient sexual desire” “often”: 3%; “sometimes”: 16%.

    A new technique, the quantitative determination of total enzyme concentrations by specific immunoprecipitation with purified, radioiodinated antibodies, was used to investigate the presence and possible roles of inactive enzyme in the regulation of chalcone synthase. Dark-grown cell suspension cultures from parsley (Petroselinum hortense) contained neither catalytically active nor detectable amounts of immunoprecipitable chalcone synthase. Irradiation induced large increases and subsequent decreases of both. Significant differences in the peak positions and in the half-lives of active and total chalcone synthase indicated that induced cells contained inactive as well as active enzyme forms. The presence of inactive enzyme could be explained by two different modes of regulation, (i) simultaneous de novo synthesis of active and inactive enzyme (“Simultaneous Model”), or (ii) de novo synthesis of active enzyme only, with sequential steps of inactivation and degradation (“Sequential Model”). Both models were compatible with experimental results, as analyzed mathematically by investigating the relations between curves for rate of enzyme synthesis, enzyme activity, total enzyme, and half-lives of active and total enzyme. However, the “Simultaneous Model” postulated that de novo synthesis of inactive enzyme represented always the vast majority of total enzyme synthesis, while the Sequential Model integrated inactive enzyme with facility in a sequence of irreversible inactivation and degradation of active enzyme. Experiments with repeated induction indicated that cells containing large amounts of inactive enzyme increased enzyme activity by de novo synthesis rather than by activation of preexisting inactive enzyme.  相似文献

    Dynamics of coupled Social-Ecological Systems (SES) result from the interplay of society and ecology. To assess SES resilience, we constructed an Agent-Based Model (ABM) of a land use system as a stereotypical example of SES and investigated how resilience of the represented system is affected by both external disturbances and internal dynamics. The model explicitly considered different aspects of resilience in a framework derived from literature, which includes “resilience to”, “resilience of”, “resilience at”, “resilience due to”, and “indicators of resilience”. External disturbances were implemented as shocks in crop yields. Internal dynamics comprised of two types of social interaction between agents (learning and cooperation), an ecological feedback of soil depletion and an economic feedback of agglomeration benefits. We systematically varied these mechanisms and measured indicators that reflected spatial, social, and economic resilience. Results showed that (1) internal mechanisms increased the ability of the system to recover from external shocks, (2) feedbacks resulted in different regimes of crop cultivation, each with a distinctive set of functions, and (3) resilience is not a generic system property, but strongly depends on what system function is considered. We recommend future studies to include internal dynamics, especially feedbacks, and to systematically assess them across different aspects of resilience.  相似文献

    Two of the most common treatments for impotence are compared. While vacuum therapy has been very successful in the United States and other anglo-saxon countries, fear of priapism, fear of injections, and the existence of sequelae such as nodules or haematomas have been responsible for a great many patients abandoning intracavernosal injections. Howerver, the avaibility of “pens” and other self-injections devices have considerably reduced the prevalence of such complications and made the technique more acceptable. Use of new drugs and pharmacological combinations has also reduced the risk of priapism. The mode of action and different types of vacuum devices are reviewed, along with their advantages and disadvantages, and the results and complications of their use summarized from various published clinical series.  相似文献

    Psychoanalysis characterises subjectivity as a notion based on the “plurality of psychologically troubled persons”, revealed, for instance, in dreams. The author takes a closer look at a number of Freud’s dream analyses and argues that, in working with the dream, subjects often eject one of their psychologically troubled persons (often the “suffering child”) out of themselves, projecting the person into the Other. As a result, an intersubjective space is created, which is required to receive the divisions originating from the intrasubjective space. Freud’s 1895 Project, however, goes farther: the evacuation of the “disparate part” of the child to the Other grants access to logical and rational judgement, guaranteeing a child’s psychological life a fictional stability (the “Thing” or the “ego”). Freud adds that this process is possible if a Nebenmensch — or “fellow creature” — is present and has the quality of a “helping person” capable of receiving the child’s suffering cry. These two lines of thought, together, help clarify the intersubjective position underlying the analytical work: a tentative encounter between the patient’s distress and the analyst’s presence. Free-floating attention will enable the analyst to receive and hear this distress and ease the patient’s recovery of his or her intrasubjective space.  相似文献

    Abstract

    The paper discusses a series of new technologies and new strategic factors entering into naval power and their analytical consequences. The argument is made that (1) traditional ways of identifying “naval power”; no longer have any utility or carry real meaning; (2) current high‐value surface naval forces of declining utility are extremely vulnerable to attack, which will force a radical revaluation in the West of “sea control”; and the costs of such control; and (3) the Soviet Union, by virtue of its geography and its capacity to innovate in “sea denial”; naval force, may be better positioned that the West to take advantage of new antinaval technologies. Western countermeasures may be expensive, involve a radical restructuring of naval force, and mean the acceptance of permanent strategic vulnerability at sea. The “new era”; of naval politics cannot be divorced, analytically and operationally, from emergent space systems and from the strategic nuclear balance.  相似文献

    The term “proteome” was first introduced into the scientific literature in July 1995. Almost 20 years ago attempts to characterize the “total protein complement able to be encoded by a given genome” only became possible due to privileged access to what were then the world's most complete sets of genomic data. Today, proteomics has become an important pillar in the fields of disease diagnosis and drug research and development, while also playing a critical role in the much larger field of Healthcare Analytics and Biomarker Discovery and Detection. It is important to note that this industry originated mostly from building blocks in analytical science that predated the term “proteomics” by many decades. However, proteomics, as a discipline, has allowed protein scientists to more favorably compete in the face of highly fashionable Big Science and, more specifically, genomics.  相似文献

    In this paper, we propose a biomimetic learning approach for motion generation of a multi-joint robotic fish. Based on a multi-joint robotic fish model, two basic Carangiform swimming patterns, namely "cruise" and "C sharp turning", are extracted as training samples from the observations of real fish swimming. A General Internal Model (GIM), which is an imitation of Central Pattern Generator (CPG) in nerve systems, is adopted to learn and to regenerate coordinated fish behaviors. By virtue of the universal function approximation ability and the temporal/spatial scalabilities of GIM, the proposed learning approach is able to generate the same or similar fish swimming patterns by tuning two parameters. The learned swimming patterns are implemented on a multi-joint robotic fish in experiments. The experiment results verify the effectiveness of the biomimetic learning approach in generating and modifying locomotion patterns for the robotic fish.  相似文献

    A frequency analysis was performed on an analogue model of the vertebrate cone retina. Bode plots of magnitude and phase angle shifts were obtained from the various stages of the Model. While the cones were non-linear, the rest of the Model was linear and results could be explained by cascading of lowpass filters with linear summation of antagonistic inputs of differing time constants. The cut-off frequency of the Model was determined by the first stage, which was the cone pedicle, while the slope of the db magnitude versus frequency curve increased for each “synaptic delay” in the pathway. An initial increase in the magnitude of the output voltage at any given stage occurred up to the cut-off frequency and was due to the antagonistic input voltages of differing time courses. Physiological data were discussed in terms of the Model.  相似文献

    The simultaneous stereodifferentiation of all aromarelevant 4(5) alkylsubstituted γ(δ)-lactones is described, using enantioselective multidimensional gas chromatography (MDG), and the column combination OV 1701/octakis(3-O-butyryl-2,6-di-O-pentyl)-γ-cyclodextrin. The method is applicated to the lactone flavour compounds of fruits, indicating the advance to the analytical differentiation between “natural” and “nature-identical” aromas. Modified cyclodextrins are also proved to be powerful tools in the chirospecific CGC analysis of monoterpenoid constituents of essential oils. Optical purity control is discussed as an indicator for their natural origin.  相似文献

    The traditional microscope, together with the “routine” hematoxylin and eosin (H & E) stain, remains the “gold standard” for diagnosis of cancer and other diseases; remarkably, it and the majority of associated biological stains are more than 150 years old. Immunohistochemistry has added to the repertoire of “stains” available. Because of the need for specific identification and even measurement of “biomarkers,” immunohistochemistry has increased the demand for consistency of performance and interpretation of staining results. Rapid advances in the capabilities of digital imaging hardware and software now offer a realistic route to improved reproducibility, accuracy and quantification by utilizing whole slide digital images for diagnosis, education and research. There also are potential efficiencies in work flow and the promise of powerful new analytical methods; however, there also are challenges with respect to validation of the quality and fidelity of digital images, including the standard H & E stain, so that diagnostic performance by pathologists is not compromised when they rely on whole slide images instead of traditional stained tissues on glass slides.  相似文献

    We model the occurrence of European wild rabbit in fragmented environments in a mountainous area of northwestern Spain (Gerês–Xurés Biosphere Reserve). We carried out a field survey by sampling the presence/absence of pellets in 237 plots (100?×?100 m) selected at random below an altitude of 800 m. For modelling purposes, we considered eight predictors related to vegetation, topography, human influence and heterogeneity. We obtained vegetation and ecological predictors from land use/land cover maps derived from Landsat Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus images (acquired at the same time as the field data) and calculated vegetation indices by using a supervised classification method. We obtained topographical predictors from a Global Digital Elevation Model (GDEM) and used a generalized linear model to describe the occurrence of the European wild rabbit. The overall accuracy of the Landsat-derived map in Baixa Limia was 87.51 %, and the kappa coefficient was 0.85. The most parsimonious model included “grassland and crops”, “mean slope”, “distance to roads”, “urban settlements” and “ecotone scrubland-forest”. Five predictors were consequential, three of them with a positive sign for the presence of the species (scrub, urban settlements and ecotone scrubland-forest) and two with a negative sign (mean slope and distance to roads). The information on habitat requirements of European wild rabbit in the area provides a good framework for determining the habitat requirements of this keystone species in mountainous ecosystems in northwestern Iberian Peninsula.  相似文献

    In the article Autophagy in a Mouse Model of Distal Myopathy with Rimmed Vacuoles or Hereditary Inclusion Body Myopathy by May Christine V. Malicdan, Satoru Noguchi and Ichizo Nishino (Autophagy 2007; 3:396-8) the authors describe a transgenic mouse that displays the human distal myopathy with rimmed vacuoles (DMRV) phenotype. In this report, the mutation used to generate the mutation was incorrectly written as “V572L” when it should have been “D176V”. Accordingly, the transgenic mice should be named “Gne-/- hGNED176V-Tg”. All of the other data have been verified by repeated experiments. Furthermore, the finding that the mouse phenotype resembles human DMRV, including the presence of autophagy, remains valid. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.  相似文献
