BACKGROUND:Studies have shown that the application of electrical stimulation of peripheral nerve fibers can recover partial muscle functions due to the loss of central nervous control.
OBJECTIVE:To verify the feasibility of selective nerve excitatory effectively used the symmetric biphasic pulses under the bipolar electrodes stimulation of 1 mm.
METHODS:Eight adult Wistar rats were selected to expose the sciatic nerves after anesthesia and then the electrodes were placed on the sciatic nerves careful y to establish the model of selective nerve stimulation. Experimental electrode was homemade Cuff bipolar electrode, and the electrode stimulators were Grass S88
stimulator and AWG2005 arbitrary waveform signal generator. The two-way dual-electrode stimulation was used. The distance between two electrodes was 1 mm, and the stimulation waveform was symmetric biphasic pulse
with the width of 0.2 ms. The output pulse amplitude, pulse width and delay could be adjusted. The stimulation
intensity was adjusted, and the law of nerve excitability was detected under two-way dual-electrode stimulation, in order to achieve selective nerve excitability, and the feasibility of two-way dual-electrode stimulation to achieve
selective nerve excitatory was verified with“col ision”method.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The change of nerve action potential was amplified by P511 amplifier and then linked into oscil oscope for displaying, and dual-electrode stimulation waveform was the symmetric biphasic pulse with the width of 0.2 ms. With the increasing of stimulus amplitude, we achieved the selective nerve excitatory. The results indicate the selective nerve excitatory can be achieved with the closed (1 mm) dual-electrode symmetric pulse, and the feasibility and effectiveness of this method can be verified with“col ision”principle.

Objective To study the clinical effect of levosimendan combined with recombinant human brain natriuretic peptide(rhBNP)on patients with acute heart failure.Methods A total of 100 patients with acute heart failure in the hospital from December 2019 to December 2021 were selected as the research sub-jects.According to different treatment options,the subjects were divided into the control group,levosimendan group,rhBNP group and combined treatment group,with 25 cases in each group.The control group received traditional conventional diuretic,tube expansion and other treatment;the levosimendan group was treated with levosimendan on the basis of the control group;the rhBNP group was treated with rhBNP on the basis of the control group;the combined treatment group was treated with levosimendan and rhBNP on the basis of the control group.The improvement of New York Heart Association(NYHA)classification,death,rehospitaliza-tion rate,6-minute walking distance,improvement of serological indicators and adverse reactions were recor-ded in each group.Results Before treatment,there was no significant difference in baseline data between the groups(P>0.05).On the 1 st and 3 rd day after treatment,the improvement of NYHA classification in the combined treatment group was better than that in the other groups(P<0.05),and the improvement of NY-HA classification in the levosimendan group and rhBNP group was better than that in the control group(P<0.05).The readmission rate within 6 months after treatment in the combined treatment group was lower than that in the other groups(P<0.05).At 5 and 9 days after treatment,the 6-minute walking distance in the combined treatment group was longer than that in the other groups(P<0.05).At 9 days after treatment,the left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF)in the combined treatment group was higher than that in the other groups(P<0.05),and the level of N-terminal B-type natriuretic peptide(NT-proBNP)in the combined treatment group was lower than that in the other groups(P<0.05).No significant difference was found in the comparison of the occurrence of adverse reactions among the four groups(P>0.05).Conclusion The combina-tion of levosimendan and rhBNP in the treatment of patients with acute heart failure is superior to traditional treatment and monotherapy in early clinical improvement,and dose not increase the incidence of adverse reactions.

Objective:To analyze the causal relationship between lifestyle-based factors and the occurrence and development of hepatobiliary malignancies by Mendelian randomization study method,and to provide the potential clinical evidence for the prevention and treatment of hepatobiliary malignancies.Methods:The data from large-scale,independent genome-wide association studies(GWAS)were selected,and seven-step inclusion criteria for the instrumental variable screening were set up.The exposure lifestyles included the percentage of carbohydrate intake,percentage of fat intake,percentage of protein intake in the diet,coffee intake,weekly alcohol consumption times,leisure electronic screen exposure time,moderate to vigorous intensity physical activity(MVPA)during leisure time,sedentary behavior at work,age at first smoking,daily smoking quantity,current smoking status,and past smoking status,totaling 12 phenotypes.The primary analysis method used was the random effect model of the inverse variance weighted(IVW)method,and the heterogeneity was detected by Cochrane's Q test and the horizontal pleiotropy was detected by MR-Egger intercept method.Results:The current smoking status was significantly positively correlated with the increasing risk of extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma(OR=1.607,95%CI:1.113-2.322,P=0.011).Higher coffee intake was causally linked to a higher risk of liver cancer and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma(OR=1.000,95%CI:0.999-1.000,P=0.012).In the physical activity,more MVPA was associated with the lower risk of liver cancer and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma(OR=0.998,95%CI:0.996-0.999,P=0.002).The Cochrane's Q test results showed that there was mild heterogeneity between MVPA and extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma(Q=18.354,P=0.049)as well as the percentage of protein intake and intraphepatic cholangiocarainoma(Q=12.715,P=0.026),and the MR-Egger intercept method results showed there was no horizontal pleiotropy.Conclusion:There is a causal relationship between current smoking status and extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma,and there is a causal relationship between more MVPA and the lower risk of liver cancer and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.Education on smoking and physical activity for the patients may offer potential benefits for the prevention of hepatobiliary malignancies.
