AIM: To investigate the antinociceptive effect of anticholinesterase agent physostigmine at different postoperative time, and the interaction of intravenous physostigmine with intrathecal morphine in rats. METHODS: Six groups of rats were operated on for intrathecal and intravenous catheterization. Nociceptive responses of hind paws of each animal were measured with "plantar stimulation" test 1-3 h and 3 d postoperatively. Animals received intravenous (iv) physostigmine, intrathecal (ith) morphine, or combination of both. The antinociceptive effect of each group was converted to the percent maximum possible effect (% MPE). RESULTS: Administration of physostigmine 1-3 h after operation resulted in dramatic increase in % MPE. The effects of combinations of iv physostigmine and ith morphine were more pronounced at early postoperative time. The potency of low dose combination was significantly greater than that of double doses of both drugs. The % MPE of the observed effects of all combinations was significantly higher than that of the expected additive effects. CONCLUSION: The antinociception of physostigmine occurs at early postoperative time. The interaction of iv physostigmine with ith morphine indicates their synergistic effect.

The experiment was designed to investigate the effect of salvia miltiorrhiza (Danshen ) and its effective composition, phenyl lactic acid (Danshensu )on the hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV). Acute hypoxia was induced by replacing mixed gas 95%O2+ 5 %CO2 with 95%N2 + 5 %CO2. Hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction was diminished by injectic Danshen, Injectic Danshen compound and Danshensu with concentration dependently. Tile effect of Danshensu was the most,and Injectic Danshen Co was second by comparison. The results suggested that Danshen can antagonist HPV which was mainly produced by Danshensu, one of the effective composition of Danshen,and that more potent inhibitory action on HPV was by Injectio Danshen compound compared with Injectio Danshen,and this may be related to the addition of Dalbergia odorifera , the other composition of Injectic Danshen compound.

AIM: To investigate the effects of propofol, midazolam and thiopental sodium on neurologic and histologic outcome from focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion in a rat model of reversible middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). METHODS: Male SD rats were scheduled to undergo 3 h MCAO by intraluminal suture and 24 h reperfusion. Neurologic outcome was scored with a 0-5 grading scale. Infarct volume was shown with TTC staining and measured by image analysis system. Ultrastructure of the tissues taken from the brim of the damaged area was examined under electron microscope. RESULTS: Both propofol and midazolam could attenuate neurologic deficits, reduce infarct and edema volumes, and ameliorate ultrastructure damage at the brim of lesion. Propofol showed better neuroprotection than midazolam while thiopental sodium did not exhibit protective effect. CONCLUSION: Propofol and midazolam, but not thiopental sodium, can provide protective effects against reperfusion induced injury in rats subjected to focal cerebral ischemia.

Objective To study the effects of dexmedetomidine on the swallowing reflex. Methods Sixty adult volunteers (ASAⅠ-Ⅱ) were randomly divided into two groups, dexmedetomidine sedation group and propofol sedation group respectively. The BIS value was maintained between 60-65 in both groups. Swallowing reflex was induced by water injection in the pharynx at different depths of sedation, and the swallowing movements were observed. Meanwhile, the RR, SpO2 and OAA/S scores were recorded. Results The swallowing reflex existed in dexmedetomidine sedation group when BIS values was maintained at 60, which had significant difference compared with that in propofol sedation group. The RR, SpO2, OAA/S score in dexmedetomidine sedation group also had statistical difference compared with that in propofol sedation group during swallowing reflex test. Conclusions Slow infusion of dexmedetomidine to maintain the BIS value above 60 will not affect swallowing reflex, and can obtain satisfactory hemodynamic stability. It′clinical safety is high.

Aim To study the effect of leuprorelin acetate microspheres (LE ms) on endometriosis in rats, and compare the efficacy of material drug (LE), domestic and imported LE ms (enanton). Methods Endometriosis was induced by endometrial implant in rats. Then the animals were treated with LE (20 ?g?kg -1 ?d -1 ? 28 d ,sc), enanton(20 ?g?kg -1 ?d -1 ,sc)and domestic LE ms ( 2,20,200 ?g?kg -1 ?d -1 ,sc). Results Implants in control group continued to grow, while those in groups treated with drugs shrinked significantly, and domestic LE ms could produce dose dependent inhibitory effect on the growth of endometrial implant in rats. Conclusion The domestic LE ms at the single dose of 20 ?g?kg -1 ?d -1 has the same effectiveness as enanton and routine injection with the same does of LE for 28 days.

Abstract: Objective To clarify the long-term evolution of hepatitis B virus (HBV) quasi-species in HBsAg asymptomatic carriers in Long'an county, Guangxi. Methods ELISA was used to detect serological markers of HBV. Viral loads were measured by real time PCR. HBV DNA was extracted from serum by kits. The whole HBV genome was amplified using nested PCR and amplicons were sequenced by next-generation sequencing (NGS). These sequences from NGS were analyzed by the software like Mega. Results Serum samples were collected from 9 HBsAg asymptomatic carriers in Longan County,Guangxi at 4 different time points in 2004, 2007, 2013, 2019 or 2020. A total of 23 serum samples and 309 full-length gene quasi-species sequences were obtained, with an average amount of (0.18±0.07) G sequencing data for each sample. Genotype of 55.54%(5/9) the studied subjects underwent genotype conversion during the long-term evolution process of HBV
quasi-species, and the genotyping results of the phylogenetic tree in the PreS/S region are in perfect agreement with the results of the whole genome analysis; recombinant B/C, I/C were found; the Sn ranged from 0 to 0.37 and the genetic diversity ranged from 0 to 0.11, respectively. A total of 21 special single nucleotide/amino acid mutations (7 in the S region, 2 in the X region, 3 in the PreC region and 9 in the BCP region) and 6 deletion mutations were detected, multiple mutations were found and no drug resistant mutations were found; 77.8%(7/9) of the HBV strains carried by the subjects in 2004 had double mutations at nt1 762(A→T) and 1 764(G→A) and a stop mutation at nt1 896(G→A); HBV mutations can be restored from the mutant type to the wild type and (or) vice versa without antiviral drug pressure, and The evolution rate of HBV genome was 2.03×10-5~3.50×10-3.Conclusion HBV genotype, recombinants, genetic complexity and diversity of HBV quasi-species can change over time during in natural infection. The transformation between HBV mutation type and wild type reduces the value of predicting clinical outcomes by genetic types and related mutations to some extent. The HBV genome evolution rate of asymptomatic carriers of HBsAg in Long'an County is very high.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effects of propofol, midazolam and thiopental sodium on outcomes and amino acid accumulation in focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion in rats.
METHODSMale Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were scheduled to undergo 3-hour middle cerebral artery occlusion by intraluminal suture and 24-hour reperfusion. Neurologic outcomes were scored on a 0-5 grading scale. Infarct volume was shown with triphenyltetrazolium chloride staining and measured by an image analysis system. Concentrations of various amino acids (aspartate, glutamate, glycine, taurine, and gama-aminobutyric acid) were measured after 3 hours of reperfusion using high performance liquid chromatography. Propofol, midazolam and thiopental sodium were given intraperitoneally at the beginning of reperfusion.
RESULTSBoth propofol and midazolam attenuated neurological deficits and reduced infarct and edema volumes. Propofol showed better neurological protection than midazolam while thiopental sodium did not exhibit any protective effect. Both propofol and midazolam decreased excitatory amino acids accumulation, while propofol increased gama-aminobutyric acid accumulation in ischemic areas in reperfusion.
CONCLUSIONPropofol and midazolam, but not thiopental sodium, may provide protective effects against reperfusion induced injury in rats subjected to focal cerebral ischemia. This neurological protection may be due to the acceleration of excitatory amino acids elimination in reperfusion.
