OBJECTIVE:To systematically review the effectiveness and safety of combination prescription of lidocaine with ropivacaine for anesthesia,and provide evidence-based reference for developing new compound preparation. METHODS:Retrieved from CJFD,Wanfang Database,VIP,PubMed and EBSCO,randomized controlled trials (RCT) about lidocaine combined with ropivacaine versus lidocaine alone or ropivacaine alone for anesthesia were collected. Meta-analysis was performed by using Rev Man 5.0 software provided by the Cochrane Collaboration after data extracting and quality evaluating. RESULTS:Totally 30 RCT were included,involving 2 442 patients. Results of Meta-analysis showed,lidocaine+ropivacaine vs. lidocaine:onset time was 6.77 min vs. 7.11 min [MD=-0.29,95%CI(-0.43,-0.16),P<0.001],maintenance time was 5.11 h vs. 2.11 h [MD=3.13,95%CI (3.02,3.25),P<0.001] and the incidence of adverse reactions was 28.6% vs. 44.6% [MD=0.43,95%CI(0.31,0.62),P<0.001];lidocaine+ropivacaine vs. ropivacaine:onset time was 9.49 min vs. 15.85 min [MD=-4.43,95%CI(-4.63,-4.22),P<0.001];maintenance time was 4.84 h vs. 6.79 h [MD=-0.61,95%CI(-0.71,-0.51),P<0.001];the incidence of adverse reac-tions was 44.8% vs. 48.1% [MD=0.82,95%CI(0.56,1.19),P=0.30]. Sensitivity analysis showed that the results were in stabili-ty. CONCLUSIONS:Lidocaine combined with ropivacaine shows rapid onset and long duration in anesthesia,and it can reduce ad-verse reactions play their respective advantages.

Objective:To study effect of SC-LK on the immune function of immunosuppressive mice and to seek the relationship between drug property of SC-GS and immunoenhancement activity. Methods:The immunosuppressive mice models were established by CTX and administrated with four groups of drugs. The phagocytic ability of macrophage,serum hemolysin level,and proliferative response of T lymphocyte induced by PHA were measured. The activity of in vitro M? and the phagocytizing of CRBC by M? were measured. Results:SC-LK could significantly improve immunological function inhibited by CTX in mice. Conclusion:The improving of immunological function was a common effect in drug effect spectrum(drug property) of SC-LK,but it was not characteristic effect as compared with the other three groups of drugs.

AIM and MEfTHODS: To clarify the role of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in the regula- tion of blood pressure, in the present study, we examined the effect of aminoguanidine (AG), a selective inhibitor of iNOS on the hemodinamical response of Dahl salt - sensitive (DS) and Dahl salt - resistant (DR) rats to low (0. 3% ) or high (8%) sodium chloride (Nacl) infusion by chronical in vivo hemodynamic experiment, and the effect of NaCl or NaCl plus AG infusion on urinary nitrate (NO3)/nitrite (NO2), the end product of nitric oxide (NO),ex- cretion by Greiss Reaction. Furthermore, NOS activity assay was the dried out to probe the effect of NaCl and AG on calcium - dependent or independent NOS activity in renal tissue. RESULTS:1. High or low NaCl - infused DR rats and low NaCl - infused DS rats have no hemodinamical response to AG, however, the hpertensive effect of high NaCl (8% ) infusion on DS rats were gnatly amplified by co - infusion of AG. 2. Administration of high NaCl signif- icantly elevated the iNOS activity of renal tissue, and greatly increased urinary NO3/NO2 excretion. CONCLUSION: Ihducthle NOS is an important modulator of arterial pressure, especially in case of higher blood pressure.

AIM: The present study was designed to examine the effect of Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccination on blood pressure, nitric oxide (NO) production and iNOS expression in hypertensive rats. METHODS: Renal hypertension (RH) were made by renal artery stenosis in SD rats and the sodium induced hypertensive (SH) rats were made by feeding the rats with high sodium chloride diet (5 g NaCl/100 g food). After four weeks, the hypertensive animals were subjected to the experiment. All the rats were vaccinated with BCG (0 1 mL, i.d) and blood pressure were examined every week. Greiss reaction was used to measure the urinary NO excretion and Western blot was applied to probe the iNOS protein expression in aortic tissue. RESULTS: It was shown that one week after BCG vaccination, the blood pressure decreased significantly in hypertensive rats induced by NaCl-overloading and renal artery stenosis, but not in normotensive control rats. Furthermore, the hypotensive effect of BCG vaccination was enhanced by co-administration of L-arginine. A significant increase in NO production was observed in hypertensive rats. Also, Western blot showed BCG vaccination led to an obvious increase in iNOS expression in the aortic tissue of hypertensive, but not of normal control rats. CONCLUSION: BCG vaccination could lower the blood pressure of hypertensive rats through activation of iNOS/NO pathway. [

AIM: The present study was undertaken to explore the effects of ?-MSH on partial biological activities of LPS. METHODS:Colorimetric method was used for the measurement of hydrogen peroxide(H_2O_2) production in mouse peritoneal macrophages, the apoptosis of polymorphonuclear leukocytes(PMNs) and the binding of LPS to monocytes were studied with flow cytometry. RESULTS: It was found that LPS strongly stimulated macrophages to release H_2O_2. When macrophages were cultured with ?-MSH in the presence of LPS, the H_2O_2 release was markedly suppressed (P0.05). In the presence of LPS, however, ?-MSH significantly promoted the apoptosis of PMNs (P

After tooth extraction, labial contour collapses due to inevitable physiologic bone remodeling. To achieve optimal outcomes for pink esthetic treatment at anterior implant sites, bone or soft tissue augmentation has been advocated to maintain or reconstruct the labial tissue contour. When choosing soft tissue augmentation for esthetic restoration, it is necessary to strictly grasp the indications for surgery. Soft tissue augmentation to maintain or reconstruct the labial tissue contour could be considered in patients with healthy soft tissue and no bone defects or only mild horizontal bone defects. In immediate, early and late implant placement, the timing of soft tissue augmentation may vary. In immediate implantation, the labial bone plate is intact, so it is highly recommended to simultaneously manage soft tissue during implant placement. However, patients may have large bone defects with early or late implant placement. The risk of augmenting bone and soft tissue simultaneously is likely too high, and bone augmentation surgery is often performed at the first stage while soft tissue augmentation surgery is performed at the second stage. Therefore, soft tissue surgery is often carried out simultaneously with abutment connection. Currently, soft tissue augmentation is achieved mostly with adjacent autologous soft tissue grafts, such as free gingival grafts, subepithelial connective tissue grafts or pedicle palatal flaps, which are often accompanied by a second surgical area. The replacement of autogenous soft tissue grafting with new biological materials will become an inevitable trend. In this article, we analyze and summarize the indications, timing and different methods of soft tissue augmentation to maintain and reconstruct the labial contour.

Objective: On the basis of the dominant frequency index of functional connectivity, the "brain age" analysis method was used to explore abnormal development patterns of sensorimotor networks in boys with autism spectrum disorder(ASD). Methods: The resting state functional magnetic resonance data (7-12 years old) for 105 boys with ASD and 102 matched boys with normal development from the ABIDE public database were screened. Functional connection networks in different frequency bands of sensorimotor related brain regions were constructed for each individual, and the frequency of the strongest connection were constructed as the optimal frequency of the connection. Brain age analysis was used to explore the difference between brain age and chronological age in boys with ASD. Results: The brain sensorimotor network of boys with ASD showed an abnormal development pattern of overdevelopment followed by underdevelopment, and the transition between the two patterns occurred at approximately 7.8 years of age. Older boys with ASD (older than 10 years) whose underdevelopment trend was suppressed had lower ASD severity( r=-0.43, P < 0.05 ). Conclusion The brain sensorimotor network in boys with ASD has an abnormal development process, and the brain chronological age difference in the sensorimotor network has potential as a neuroimaging marker to measure the development of ASD.

AIM: To investigate effects of different therapeutic methods and typical recipes on activation of ERK1/2 in Kupffer cells of rats with fatty liver.METHODS: The rat model of fatty liver was established by feeding high fat diet combinated with distillate spirit.Meanwhile Chinese medicines Shugan fang,Jianpi fang,Huoxue fang,Qushi fang,and Zonghe fang were given to treat different groups respectively.12 weeks later,the Kupffer cells were isolated from livers of control group,model group and different treatment groups by sequential in situ perfusion with collagenaseⅣ and pronase E,density gradient centrifugation,selective adherence.The expression of total ERK1/2 and phospho-ERK1/2 in Kupffer cells of control group,model group and different treatment groups were detected by Western blotting.RESULTS: The expressions of total ERK1/2 and phospho-ERK1/2 were higher in Kupffer cells from model group than those in control group(P

Objective To investigate analgesic effects of the selective blocking of descending facilitation targeting μ opioid receptor positive neurons in the rostral ventromedial medulla ( RVM) in a rat model of bone cancer pain. Methods Forty-eight adult female Wistar rats weighing 180-200 g were randomly divided into 6 groups: group Ⅰ control ( n = 3) ;group Ⅱ bone cancer pain induced by intra-tibia inoculation of Walker 256 mammary gland carcinoma cells ( n = 9) ;group Ⅲ-Ⅵ received a single intra-RVM micro-injection of PBS (group Ⅲ), dermorphin (group Ⅳ) , saporin (group Ⅴ) and dermorphin-saporin ( group Ⅵ) respectively at 28 days before intra-tibia inoculation ( n = 9 each) . Starting from 3 to 20 days after intra-tibia inoculation, mechanical allodynia was assessed and recorded. The animals were sacrificed on 7, 14 and 20 days after intra-tibia inoculation, after repetitive non-noxious tactile stimulation of the hindpaw. The total number of Fos-positive neurons in the spinal dorsal horn was measured as a marker indicative of central sensitization. Results The animals developed nociceptive hypersensitivity after intra-tibia cancer cell inoculation in group Ⅱ -Ⅵ . Nociceptive hypersensitivity was significantly decreased during 4-7 days after the onset of nociception in group Ⅵ (dermorphin-saporin). The number of Fos positive neurons in bilateral spinal dorsal horn was significantly increased by intra-tibia inoculation of cancer cells in group Ⅱ-Ⅵ as compared with control group and was significantly lower at day 14 and 20 after inoculation in group Ⅵ (dermorphin-saporin) than in group Ⅱ - Ⅴ.Conclusion Selective blocking of descending facilitation targeting μ opioid receptor positive neurons in RVM can effectively reduce nociceptive hypersensitivity induced by intra-tibia inoculation of Walker56 mammary gland carcinoma cells.
