Objective To investigate whether preemptive intrathecal administration of CRH has an antinociceptive efficacy on inflammatory pain model rats. Methods The antinociceptive efficacy of preemptive intrathecal administration of CRH was evaluated by the flinch-licking time and the tail flicking latency in formalin-subjected pain model rats. The c-fos gene expression in spinal cord dorsal horn was analyzed by immunohistochemical technique and computer image technique. Results Comparing with NS control group, preemptive intrathecal administration of 0.5 ?g CRH could markedly inhibit the phase Ⅱpain reaction and meanwhile decrease c-fos gene expression by 25.02% in the superficial lamella of spinal cord dorsal horn of the model rats. The antinociceptive efficacy could be counteracted by preemptive intraperitoneal injection of CP-154526 (the specific antibody of CRHR1, 10 mg/kg). Conclusion CRH could significantly inhibit pain reaction and spinal cord c-fos gene expression, and thereby preemptive intrathecal administration of CRH will contribute to the antinociceptive efficacy because of its potency of inhibiting hyperalgesia.

Objective: To observe the influences of infusing small volume of 7.5% NaCl solution (HS) in vivo,and the different volume ratio of plasm of rich platelets (PRP) to HS or sucrose in vitro on the function of platelet. Method:Twenty-nine patients undergoing middle or small operation were divided randomly into HS group and normal saline group(NS). Blood samples were taken before infusion and,5,30,60 and 120 min after infusion,to measure hematocrit (HCT),platelets (PLT) count, maximum aggression rate (MAR),thromboxance B_2(TXB_2),granule membrane protein-140(GMP-140) and platelet factor 3 activety (PF_(3a)T). In addition,fifteen blood samples of blood donors were taken,and divided control group,HS group,sucrose group and NS group. The volume ratio in each group were arranged in 1/25,2/25,4/25 and 8/25. Osmotic concentration of 1/25 was equivalent to that induced with small volume hypertonic saline infusion. Result: Compare with NS group,the HCT and PLT count were decreased after infusion of small volume of HS. When the volume ratio ≥2/25, all measure values of the MAR, TXB_2, GMP-140 and PF_(3a)T were decreased in vitro,and profoundly inhibited following osmolarity increase of HS. Conclusion;Small volume of HS may be safely used,but severe inhibition of functions of platelet may occur when the infusing volume of HS exceeded more than twice of small volume of HS.

Objective To investigate the effects of verapamil on hyperalgesia and spinal cord dorsal horn c fos expression after trauma in rats Methods Forty Wistar rats weighing 160 220g were randomly divided into five groups with eight animals in each group Traumatic pain model was made by amputation of right hind limb 0 5cm below ankle joint In group A animals received intraperitoneal verapamil 10mg/kg after trauma; in group B fentanyl 30 ?g/kg; in group C verapamil 10mg/kg plus fentanyl 30?g/kg; in group D normal saline; in group E animals received neither trauma nor verapamil or fentanyl The pain threshold of the skin surrounding the site of trauma was measured at 15 min, 30 min,1h and 2h after trauma and the interval between the radiation heat applied to the skin over ankle and the withdrawal of the hind limb was taken as pain threshold Fos like immunoreactive (FLI) neurons were determined in 1 2 luminal of ipsilateral lumber spinal cord dorsal horn with FOS immunohistochemistry technique 2h after trauma Results The pain threshold of the skin surrounding trauma site decreased significantly at 15 min, 30 min, 1h and 2h after trauma (P

Objective To investigate the effect of ondansetron on the development of neuropathic pain in rats following chronic constriction injury (CCI) on sciatic nerve. Methods This research consisted of 3 parts. ①A single bolus of ondansetron was given intraperitoneally 2 h before nerve injury; ②A single bolus of ondansetron was given intraperitoneally on the 7th day after nerve injury; ③Continuous administration of ondansetron was given daily for 35 d; In each part, male SD rats were randomly divided into ondansetron group (0.5, 2, 8 mg/kg), saline group and sham operated group. The paw withdrawal response to thermal stimulation was tested throughout the 35 d following nerve injury. Results Ondansetron administration before nerve injury had no effect on thermal pain threshold in rats of experimental neuropathic pain. ondansetron administration on the 7th day after nerve injury attenuated the descending of thermal pain threshold but did not alter its descending trend in subsequent time period. Daily administration of ondansetron for 35 d attenuated and further delayed the descending of thermal pain threshold significantly in a dose-dependent manner. Conclusion Continuous administration of ondansetron can prevent or at least delay the descending of thermal pain threshold of rats with experimental neuropathic pain after constriction injury.

Objective To approach the relationship between visceral histopathology and blood bacteriology changes of projectile-burn combined wound jointed with seawater soak. Methods After model creation in dogs of projectile-burn combined wound jointed with seawater soak, fifteen dogs were randomly assigned randomized into two groups: projectile-burn-only(unsoaked group, US), projectile-burn combined wound with seawater immersion(soaked group,S). 0, 4,7,10,20,28h after injury the blood samples were taken for bacterial culture. Tissue samples of heart, liver, kidneys were taken for pathological examination with light microscope (LM) 28h after injury or in the moribund stage. Results Bacteriemia was found in soaked group earlier and severer.The bacteriemia has a multiple sources. There were not only intestinal bacteria, but also surface bacteria and seawater bacteria found in soaked group. Different degrees of circulation disturbance, degeneration changes and severe inflammation reaction were found in viscera. Conclusion After seawater soak, bacteriemia aggravated the injury of animals′ viscera, and thus led to a higher mortality.

Objective To study the influence and mechanism of seawater immersion on endothelial cell injury sustained by burn firearm combined injury to improve the early therapeutic efficacy. Methods The dogs with burn firearm combined injury were randomly divided into two groups: immersion group and control group. In immersion group, the dogs were immersed in seawater for 4 hours, then taken out from seawater. Blood samples were collected from central vein at 4 h, 7 h, 10 h, 20 h and 28 h following wound for the detection of changes of the circulating endothelial cells (CEC) and von Willebrand Factor (vWF). The same procedures except immersion were performed in the control group. Results The levels of CEC and vWF elevated at 4 h and 7 h following wound in control group( P
