Objective To evaluate the role of calcium channel in the mechanism of the generation and maintenance of bursting firing of substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc) dopaminergic neurons in rats.Methods Using the patch clamp technique,we observed the firing pattern switching features after adding 10 μmol/L N-methyl-D-aspartic acid (NMDA),compared the changes of whole-calcium current and L-type calcium current with or without NMDA,and analyzed the correlation between the generation of burst firing and L-type calcium channel activation.Results After NMDA treatment,the firing pattern of SNc dopaminergic neurons changed to burst firing,which was compromised by a charastistic high plateau potential and series of action potential on it.The current density of L-type calcium current increased significantly after adding NMDA,which,from (2.86 ±0.26) pA/pF (n =28),significantly increased to (3.75 ± 0.18) pA/pF (n =34 ; t =7.52,P =0.002 8).The high plateau potential was almost abolished with the application of verapamil,a specific antagonist of L-type calcium channel.Consiusion NMDA could induce the firing pattern changed to burst firing in SNc dopaminergic neurons,while L-type calcium channel contributes to the process of generation and maintenance of burst firing.

Objective:To explore the correlation of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) of magnetic resonance diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) examination before radiotherapy in patients with advanced cervical squamous cell carcinoma with clinicopathological characteristics and radiotherapy efficacy.Methods:The clinical data of 80 patients with advanced cervical cancer who were admitted to the Second Hospital of Nanjing from September 2019 to March 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) DWI examination. The differences in ADC values among cervical squamous cell carcinoma patients with different clinicopathological characteristics were analyzed. The patients were divided into the effective group (complete remission+partial remission) and the ineffective group (stable disease+progressive disease) based on the radiotherapy effect, and the differences in ADC values between the two groups were compared. The logistic regression model was used to analyze the factors affecting the radiotherapy efficacy of patients with advanced cervical squamous cell carcinoma.Results:Among 80 patients with advanced cervical squamous cell carcinoma, 21 achieved complete remission, 31 achieved partial remission, 25 achieved stable disease, and 3 achieved progressive disease after radiotherapy; there were 52 cases in the effective group and 28 cases in the ineffective group. The ADC value of the effective group before radiotherapy was higher than that of the ineffective group [(0.99±0.14)×10 -3mm 2/s vs. (0.76±0.20)×10 -3mm 2/s], and the difference was statistically significant ( t = 6.01, P < 0.001); after radiotherapy, the ADC value of the effective group was also higher than that of the ineffective group [(1.43±0.25)×10 -3mm 2/s vs. (1.11±0.23)×10 -3mm 2/s), and the difference was statistically significant ( t = 5.61, P < 0.001); the ADC values of both the effective and ineffective groups increased after radiotherapy compared to before radiotherapy (both P < 0.05). The ADC values of patients with different International Federation of Obstetrics and Gynecology (FIGO) stage, degree of pathological differentiation, depth of lesion infiltration, Ki-67 expression, lymph node metastasis, and distant metastasis were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that ≥FIGO stage Ⅲ, low differentiation, lymph node metastasis, lymphatic vessel infiltration, distant metastasis, and low ADC value before radiotherapy were independent risk factors for efficacy of radiotherapy in patients with advanced cervical squamous cell carcinoma (all P < 0.05). Conclusions:The ADC value before radiotherapy is a factor that affects the radiotherapy effect of patients with advanced cervical squamous cell carcinoma. The lower the ADC value before radiotherapy is, the worse the radiotherapy effect of patients will be.

Objective:To discuss the curative effect between direct decompression and indirect decompression plus lumbo-iliac fixation for treatment of Denis type II sacrum fracture combined with sacral foraminal bone space-occupying lesion and sacral nerve injury.Methods:A retrospective case-control study was performed on clinical data of 47 patients with Denis type II sacrum fracture combined with sacral foraminal bone space-occupying lesion and sacral nerve injury admitted to Honghui Hospital Affiliated to Xi'an Jiaotong University School of Medicine from March 2012 to March 2017. All patients underwent lumbo-iliac internal fixation. The operation time ranged from 3 to 14 days after injury, with an average of 6 days. In direct decompression group ( n=26), the sacral foramina mass was removed during the operation and direct decompression was performed. There were 16 males and 10 females, with age of (36.2±8.4)years. In indirect decompression group ( n=21), indirect decompression through traction and distraction was performed. There were 11 males and 10 females, with the age of (38.7±9.8)years. Operation time, intraoperative blood loss, bone union, Mears imaging evaluation, Gibbons score, and Majeed function score were compared between the two groups. Postoperative complications were observed as well. Results:All patients were followed up for 1233 months, with an average of 16.7 months. The operation time and intraoperative blood loss in direct decompression group were (112.3±26.3)minutes and (512.1±29.4)ml, which had no significant differences in comparison with that in indirect decompression group [(129.3±25.1)minutes and (529.7±22.1)ml] ( P>0.05). Bone union was observed in all patients. According to the Mears imaging evaluation, the direct decompression group had anatomical reduction in 17 patients, and satisfactory reduction in 9, and the indirect decompression group had anatomical reduction in 15 patients and satisfactory reduction in 6 ( P>0.05). At the last follow-up, Gibbons score in direct decompression group was lower than that in the indirect decompression group [(1.2±0.3)points vs. (2.2±0.5)points] ( P<0.01); Majeed function score in direct decompression group was higher than that in indirect decompression group [(87.3±11.4)points vs. (68.5±16.7)points] ( P<0.01). In direct decompression group, 1 patient had deep wound infection, while in indirect decompression group, 1 patient had pressure sore due to the protrusion of the tail of the iliac screws on the skin. Conclusion:For Denis type II sacrum fracture combined with sacral foraminal bone space-occupying lesion and sacral nerve injury, direct decompression with lumbo-iliac fixation can obtain better neural functional recovery and functional recovery of life compared with the indirect decompression.
