Objective To investigate effects of parecoxib sodium preemptive analgesia on postoperative analgesia and cellu‐lar immune function in patients with uterine fibroids.Methods Totally ,116 cases of patients receiving uterine fibroids surgery were selected from March 2011 to April 2014 in our hospital.All cases were randomly divided into advanced group(n=58)and control group(n=58). The cases in the advanced group were intravenously injected with parecoxib sodium(40 mg)30 min before anesthesia ,while the control group received 5 mL saline intravenously.Postoperative pain conditions of the two groups were e‐valuated by using visual analog scale(VAS method). The PCIA pump first trigger time ,effective compression number and the total amount of fentanyl were recorded. Venous blood was collected before operation ,6 h(T1 ) ,24 h(T2 ) ,48 h(T3 )and 72 h(T4 ) after operation ,respectively. T lymphocyte subsets of CD3+ ,CD4+ and CD8+ and NK cells were detected by using FACS Cali‐bur flow cytometer.The ratio of CD4+ /CD8+ was calculated.Results After 4 ,8 ,12 ,24 and 48 h ,the pain scores of patients were significantly lower in the advanced group than in the control group(all P<0.05). The PCIA pump first trigger time was longer ,effective compression number and the total amount of fentanyl of patients were less in the advanced group than in the control group ,the differences were statistically significant(all P<0.05). At T1 ,T2 and T3 ,CD3+ and CD4+ were significantly higher in the advanced group than in the control group(P<0.05).At T1 and T2 ,CD4+ /CD8+ was significantly higher in the advanced group than in the control group(both P<0.05).At T2 and T3 ,the NK was significantly higher in the advanced group than in the control group(both P<0.05).Conclusion Parecoxib sodium preemptive analgesia used in patients with uterine fi‐broids can reduce postoperative pain ,reduce the amount of analgesics ,reduce the immune suppression ,and improve immune function in patients after surgery.

BACKGROUND: Agiotensin Ⅰ -converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory peptides which are separated from red tilapia skin collagen should be researched further.OBJECTIVE: To obtain a peptide of high ACE inhibitory activity through enzymic hydrolysates of red tilapia skin collagen.DESIGN: Enzymic hydrolysates were done with orthogonal experimental method; decompression peptide was separated with ultrafiltration, gel chromatography and hypertensive liquid chromatography.SETTING: Laboratory of Aquatic Products, Chinese Marine University.MATERIALS: The red tilapia weighing (500+50)g was donated by Branch Factory of Jimo Redian Factory. ACE was isolated from hog lung.METHODS: The experiment was carried out in the Laboratory of Aquatic Products, Chinese Marine University from May Bergman.①The collagen from red tilapia skin was extracted using the method described by Grossman and Bergman.The collagen extraction was hydrolyzed with compound enzymes in the order of bromelain and Alcalase 2.4 L.The red tilapia collagen hydrolysates (RTCH) were subsequently boiled to inactivate the enzyme. The resultant RTCH was fractionated through three different UF membrane bioreactor system having a range of molecular weight cut-offs (MWCO) of Mr 6 000, 4 000 and 1 000. Three portions were obtained: RTCH-I (M, 6000-4000), RTCH- Ⅱ (Mr 4000-1000)and RTCH-Ⅲ(Mr＜1000).②The ACE inhibitory 50%of ACE activity was defined as the IC50 value.③RTCH-Ⅲ(1.5 Ml) with the highest activity among RTCHs was loaded onto a Sephadex G-25 column (1.6×100 cm), and the absorbance of theeluent was monitored at 220 nm. Four samples of primary hydrolysates, RTCH- Ⅰ, RTCH- Ⅱ and RTCHⅢ were separated to collect active fractions which were pooled and lyophilized, immediately. The lyophilized fraction was separated with HPLC ODS-C18 analysis column to obtain component of high activity. Meanwhile, the same method was used to measure ACE inhibitory rate.④Each sample was hydrolyzed with 6 mol/L hydrochloric acid containing 1g/L thioglycolic acid at 110 ℃ for 24 hours in vacuum.

BACKGROUND: It is demonstrated that bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs) can generate neurosphere structures, which is similar to cloning sphere of neuron-specific enolase (NSE), in a specially induced system in vitro; therefore, BMSCs draw more and more attention as seed cells to repair central nerve injury.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the differentiation from BMSCs into neuron-like calls induced by fetal spinal cord tissue.DESIGN: Observational study.SETTING: Department of Spine Surgery, Second People's Hospital of Shenzhen.MATERIALS: SD rats (16 pregnant days old and 2 months old) were provided by Animal Center, Tongji Medical College,Huazhong University of Science and Technology. Single antibody of NSE, multi-antibody of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and single antibody of neurofilament (NF200) were provided by Wuhan Boster Company.METHODS: The experiment was carried out in Immune Opening Laboratory and Central Laboratory, Basic Medical Department, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology in September 2006. Bones of lower extremities of rats were collected to centrifuge BMSCs. Fetal spinal cord tissue homogenate was extracted from 16 pregnant days old rats to make inducing solution and induce differentiation of BMSCs. Otherwise, embryo muscle tissue was used to make muscle tissue homogenate as the same way so as to regard as the controls.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: BMSCs underwent morphological observation after induction; in addition, anti-NSE, NF200 and anti-GFAP were used to label neurons and astrocytes, respectively. Ten non-overlapping sights were randomly selected from positive reactive-induced cells after immunohistochemical staining under optic microscope to calculate ratio of positive cells of NSE and NF200 counting for total numbers of cells.RESULTS: ① Morphological changes of BMSCs after induction: During early induction, optic microscope indicated that soma of partial cells rebounded; whose apophysis was long and thin; apophysis of differentiated cells grew gradually and intercrossed each other. It was similar to nerve cells and some branches were similar to dendrite branches. However,morphological changes of cells in the control group were not obvious. ② Expression of relevant antigens differentiated from BMSCs into neuron-like cells at one week after induction: Most cells in spinal cord homogenate group expressed as positive NSE and NF200; a few of cells expressed as GFAP. While, positive staining of nerve cell antibody was not observed in the control group; meanwhile, positive reaction of nerve cell antigen was not observed in the control group,too. Immunohistochemistry examination demonstrated that positive rates of NSE and NF200 expressions were (68±1.7)%and (76.2±2.9)%, respectively.CONCLUSION: Fetal spinal cord tissue homogenate can induce differentiation from BMSCs into neuron-like cells.
