第14届亚太地区性医学学会(Asia-pacific Society of Sexual Medicine, APSSM)于2013年5月31日-6月2日在日本金沢隆重召开。在此次将近500名亚太地区从事泌尿外科、男科学、生殖医学、内分泌学、精神心理学、老年医学领域基础科研和临床工作的医师和专家参加的盛会上，北京大学第一医院男科中心辛钟成教授被APSSM常务理事会全体会员一致通过，选举为新一任APSSM理事长，同时决定分别于2014年和2015年金秋在北京举办第十二届亚太地区男性健康和抗衰老学会(The 12th Asia-Pacific Society of Man’s Health and Anti-Aging, APSMHA 2014)和第十五届亚太性医学学会(The 15th Asia-Pacific Society of Sexual Medicine, APSSM 2015)，届时辛钟成教授将担任两会大会主席。 APSSM是国际性医学学会(International Society of Sexual Medicine, ISSM)的分支机构，本学会所属刊物Journal of Sexual Medicine影响因子达到4.0分。APSSM于1987年在香港成立并隆重举办了第一届APSSM学术会议，以后ISSM和APSSM每年两会交替在全世界各地不同国家地区举办学术会议。 辛钟成教授自从1991年在韩国留学期间成为APSSM/ISSM会员后，曾任APSSM常务理事，国际性医学咨询委员。1999年由郭应禄院士引进人才回国，现任北京大学第一医院男科中心主任医师、教授、博士生导师；发表生殖性医学领域研究论文150多篇，其中SCI收入论文50多篇；承担和完成国家及科部委自然科学基金10多项，培养博士研究生和指导博士后工作20多名。2005年和2010年分别在世界卫生组织资助下与全球百人从事性医学基础与临床研究专家一起编写性医学权威性英文版教材（Sexual Medicine: Male and Female Sexual Dysfunction），在中国主编《男子生殖医学》，《勃起功能障碍手术治疗学》等多部专著，任Journal Sexual Medicine (JSM)，Asian Journal Andrology (AJA)，Translational Andrology and Urology (TAU)以及《中华泌尿外科杂志》，《中国男科学杂志》等多本杂志编委，为推动生殖性医学基础研究与制定临床诊疗指南做出贡献。 中国承办APSMHA 2014和APSSM 2015两会将为我国从事泌尿外科、男科学、生殖医学、内分泌学、精神心理学、老年医学领域基础和临床研究科学技术人员建立跨学科跨国际性学术交流平台，使科技人员获得本领域最新技术和研究进展，推动我国生殖性学基础与临床学术水平，提高我国人民生殖性健康水平和生活质量，为改善人民的健康，延长人类的寿命做出更大的贡献。 来自亚洲男科学杂志
中国菌物学会副理事长、中国科学院沈阳应用生态研究所研究员/北京林业大学微生物研究所所长戴玉成教授，在我国海南发现目前世界上最大的巨型真菌： 10.85m long, 82-88cm wide, and 4.6-5.5cm thick， weighs 400-500kg; it is also estimated to hold some 450 million spores ，打破了在英国皇家植物园发现的历史最为悠久巨型真菌记录。 据戴玉成教授描述，该“巨型真菌”至少已经生长20余年，该菌于2010年于海南发现，后来一直对其跟踪调查。 以下为英国BBC Nature采访戴玉成研究员的新闻报道。 （原文出处： http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/14294283 ） Giant fungus discovered in China By Matt Walker Editor, BBC Nature The most massive fruiting body of any fungus yet documented has been discovered growing on the underside of a tree in China. The fruiting body, which is equivalent to the mushrooms produced by other fungi species, is up to 10m long, 80cm wide and weighs half a tonne. That shatters the record held previously by a fungus growing in Kew Gardens in the UK. The new giant fungus is thought to be at least 20 years old. The first example of the new giant fungus was recorded by scientists in 2008 in Fujian Province, China, by Professor Yu-Cheng Dai of the Herbarium of biology at the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Shenyang and his assistant Dr Cui. "But the type collection was not huge," Prof Dai told BBC Nature. However, "we found giant one in Hainan Province in 2010." Continue reading the main story Start Quote "We did not know the fungus can grow so huge” End Quote Bracket fungus expert Prof Yu-Cheng Dai The researchers were in the field studying wood-decaying fungi when they happened upon the specimen, which they describe in the journal Fungal Biology. "We were not specifically looking for this fungus; we did not know the fungus can grow so huge," he said. "We were surprised when we found it, and we did not recognise it in the forest because it is too large." The fungus, F. ellipsoidea, is what mycologists call a perennial polypore - otherise known as a bracket fungus. Being a perennial, it can live for a number of years, which may have enabled it to grow to such large size. Continue reading the main story The Hat thrower fungus is the fastest living thing on the planet By colonising the underside of the large fallen tree, the fungus also had a huge amount of dead and decaying wood to feed on, helping to fuel its growth. Fruiting bodies, such as mushrooms and toadstools, are the sexual stages of a many higher types of fungi, producing seeds or spores that produce further generations. The giant fruiting body of F. ellipsoidea forms a long, brown shape up to 10.85m long, 82-88cm wide, and 4.6-5.5cm thick. Tests on the density of the fruiting body suggest the whole thing weighs 400-500kg; it is also estimated to hold some 450 million spores. The fungus was found growing on the underside of a large tree "A small piece of the fruiting body is almost like my size," said Prof Dai. The previous record holder was a specimen of Rigidoporus ulmarius, a polypore with a pileate fruiting body found in Kew Gardens in the UK in 2003. It measured approximately 150cm in diameter with a circumference of 425cm. After their initial encounter with the new record-breaking fungus, the scientists took samples of it back to the lab where to be analysed. These tests revealed that the fungus was the species Fomitiporia ellipsoidea, and the researchers made two subsequent trips to study the specimen further.
