BACKGROUND: It has been verified pharmacologically that honokiol (HL) and magnolol (ML) have distinct effects on central inhibition and muscle relaxation, and some reports prove that they can relieve morphine withdrawal symptoms in animals.OBJECTIVE: To explore the effects of HL and ML on β-endorphin (β-EP) in relieving morphine withdrawal symptoms in rats.DESIGN: Randomized controlled study.SETTING: Pharmacological Department, the Medical School of Hubei national College.PARTICIPANTS: The experiment was conducted from 13 to 29 April,2003. Among 100 adult male SD rats, 30 rats as control group were randomly divided into three subgroups: saline group, HL group and ML group with 10 in each group. The other 70 rats as morphine-dependent group were divided into normal saline group, 5, 40 and 80 mg/kg HL and ML groups with 10 in each group.METHODS: 0.2 mL normal saline, 80 mg/kg HL and 80 mg/kg ML were injected intraperitoneally into rats in control group. The dose of morphine subcutaneously injected was increased in the rats in morphine-dependent group for 6 days to establish the model of acute morphine dependence and model of natural morphine withdrawal symptoms. The last injection was performed at 9:00 on the morning of day 6, and the intraperitoneal injection was performed at 10:30 on the same morning. 0.2 mL normal saline was injected into the rats of saline group. 5, 40 and 80 mg/kg HL and 5,40 and 80 mg/kg ML were given to rats in the other six groups, respectively. Starting from 11:00, half an hour later, all natural morphine withdrawal symptoms were observed in rats within an hour.compared among rats in the 7 morphine-dependent subgroups.control groups than in normal saline group (P ＜ 0.01), and HL group had higher β-EP level than ML group (P ＜ 0.05). β-EP level was obviously lower in morphine-dependent+saline groups than in control+saline groups (P ＜ 0.01).β-EP level in morphine-dependent+5, 40 and 80 mg/kg HL groups and in morphine-dependent+5, 40 and 80 mg/kg ML groups was obviously higher Scores of natural morphine withdrawal symptoms in rats of morphine-dependent group: Scores of wetshakes, penile licking, escape attempts, and weight lost in HL and ML subgroups were obviously lower than those in saline group (P ＜ 0.01).CONCLUSION: HL and ML can markedly restrain morphine withdrawal symptoms and this restraint is related to the increase of β-EP level in the brain. HL and ML have equal inhibitory effects on morphine-dependent rats, but HL is more effective than ML in normal rats.

Objective To study the protein levels of fibronectin (Fn) in the sinoatrial node tissues of hearts caused by electric shock death ,and to provide a new theoretical basis for the diagnosis of electric shock death and the identification of death time.MethodsUsing immunohistochemical technique(S-P method) to detect protein levels of 15 cases of human sinoatrial node following electrocution(human experimental group),15 cases of human sinoatrial node with severe traumatic cerebral injury(human control group),35 cases of rabbit sinoatrial node following electrocution(rabbit experimental group ,divided into7 groups according to different sampling time: 0 h ,1 h ,3 h ,6 h ,12 h,24 h.48 h),and 35 cases of rabbit sinoatrial node with broken neck executed(rabbit control group ,divided int0 7 groups according to different sampling time :0 h,1 h.3 h,6 h.12 h.24 h,48 h).ResultsFn positive expression rate in human experimental group was 100% while it was 6.67% in the human control group,and the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.01 ).The Fn expression can be seen after electric shock immediately in the rabbit experimental group,and there was statistical difference compared with the rabbit control group (P < 0.05).Distribution of Fn expression became more and more widely after 3 hours t0 12 hours in the rabbit experimental group ,and there was significant difference compared with the rabbit control group(P < 0.01).The Fn expression began to decrease 24 hours after electrocution,ancl it still had statistical significance 48 hours after electrocution compared with the rabbit control group (P < 0.05).Conclusion Electric shocks significantly enhanced the expression of Fn protein levels in the sinoatrial node tissues , and optical density of Fn positive expression has a regularity change along with the extended time of death.These results could provide a theoretical reference basis for forensic diagnosis of electrocution and identification of death time.

BACKGROUND:Being used in senile intertrochanteric fracture, the third generation of Gamma nail may isolate fracture fragments and it is difficult to be secured in the rotor, so the stability is poor. Varus deformity easily appears, which is difficult to support or satisfactorily reset. OBJECTIVE:To compare the effects and stability of the proximal femoral locking plate and the third generation of the gamma nail in the treatment of stable intertrochanteric fracture. METHODS:(1) A total of 64 patients with intertrochanteric fractures were respectively treated with the third generation of the gamma nail fixation (n=32) and proximal femoral locking plate fixation (n=32). Fracture reduction and healing were assessed using anteroposterior and lateral radiographs. Femoral rotor varus angle and intertrochanteric medial inclination received biomechanical measurement. (2) Eight femoral specimens whose shape and size were approximated were selected to be randomly assigned to Gamma 3 group and proximal femoral locking plate group (n=4), which respectively received Gamma 3 fixation and proximal femoral locking plate fixation. After axial compression test and destruction test, load-displacement curve was drawn. The maximum yield load value was calculated by torsion test. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Operative time and intraoperative blood loss were significantly more in the proximal femoral locking plate group than in the Gamma 3 group (P < 0.05). The fracture quality assessment results were better in the proximal femoral locking plate group than in the Gamma 3 group (P < 0.05). The axial stiffness and corresponding torque of various torsion angles were smaler in the proximal femoral locking plate group than in the Gamma 3 group (P < 0.05). Experimental results indicated that in the course of fixating intertrochanteric fracture merged with greater trochanter fracture, the proximal femur locking plate has obtained more biomechanical stability.
