Objective To investigate the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines in lumbar dorsal root ganglions (DRG) of rats model of high-dose fentanyl induced hyperalgesia. Methods 64 male SD rats were divided into 2 groups (n = 32), fentanyl group and normal saline (NS) group. The rats were injected with fentanyl (60 μg/kg) or NS 4 times in total subcutaneously with a 15-minute interval. Mechanical and thermal nociception were measured via the tail pressure test (tail flick thresholds, TFT) and paw withdrawal test (paw withdrawal latency, PWL) at 1 day before, at 1, 2, 3 and 4 hour and on 1 ~ 7 day after administration. 4 rats were sacrificed and the lumbar DRG were harvested to analyze the expression of PGE2 , IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-αvia ELISA. Results There were no significant changes of TFT, PWL and the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines in DRG compared to baseline of rats in NS group. The value of TFT , PWL in fentanyl group were above the baseline at the 1 ~ 4 hour and below the baseline at 1~3 day after fentanyl injections. PGE2 , IL-1β, TNF-α and IL-6 increased on 1,3,5,7 day after fentanyl injections significantly. Conclusions High-dose fentanyl induced significant hyperalgesia and up-regulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines in DRG. The expression pro-inflammatory cytokines peaked later and were more protracted than the change of behavior test and show no direct relationship between the two.

Xinjiang is the area with a high incidence of AIDS, and a high incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis. Cases of AIDS combined with pulmonary tuberculosis have continued to increase in recent years. According to the characteristics of AIDS, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) reveals that AIDS belongs to epidemic febrile disease, and in accordance with the category of warm disease caused by incubating pathogens.

Lipase from Burkholderia cepacia complex is one of the most versatile biocatalyst and is used widely in many biotechnological application fields including detergent additives, the resolution of racemic compounds, etc. Based on the known whole genomic information of B. cepacia, both ampicillin and kanamycin were added to the TB-T media, the traditional selective media, to screen B. cepacia complex strains from rhizosphere soil samples. The single colonies on the plates with the modified TB-T media were then qualitatively determined the ability to produced the extracellular lipase in the rhodamine B-olive oil agar plates. Thirty-five strains of lipolytic pseudo-B. cepacia complex were isolated and the positive rate of lipolytic bacteria was 65%. Among them, 15 pseudo-B. cepacia complex strains with the tolerance to benzene, n-hexane and n-heptane at the concentration of 10% (V/V) were selected and identified by the recA gene sequence. All of the 15 lipolytic bacteria belonged to the B. cepacia complex.

To obtain the key genes for chlorogenic acid biosynthesis of Lonicera hypoglauca, four new genes ware obtained from the our dataset of L. hypoglauca. And we also predicted the structure and function of LHPAL4, LHHCT1 , LHHCT2 and LHHCT3 proteins. The phylogenetic tree showed that LHPAL4 was closely related with LHPAL1, LHHCT1 was closely related with LHHCT3, LHHCT2 clustered into a single group. By Real-time PCR to detect the gene expressed level in different organs of L. hypoglauca, we found that the transcripted level of LHPAL4, LHHCT1 and LHHCT3 was the highest in defeat flowers, and the transcripted level of LHHCT2 was the highest in leaves. These result provided a basis to further analysis the mechanism of active ingredients in different organs, as well as the element for in vitro biosynthesis of active ingredients.

Objective To study and analyze the clinical efficacy of zoledronic acid in the treatment of osteoporotic intertrochanteric fracture in elderly patients. Methods 100 elderly patients with osteoporotic unstable intertrochanteric fracture treated in our hospital from February 2014 to July 2016 were selected and randomly divided into the control group and the experimental group. There were 50 patients in each group. The control group received routine treatment (calcitonin), and the experimental group was treated with zoledronic acid.The clinical indicators of the two groups were compared and analyzed. Results After the corresponding treatment, the VAS scores of the experimental group and the control group were (0.36±0.42) and (0.34±0.40), and there was no statistical significance. The excellent rate of hip joint function was 82% in the control group, and the excellent and good rate of hip joint function in the experimental group was 80%, which was not statistically significant. In addition, there were no statistically significant differences in fracture healing time and complications between the two groups. After 1 years, the hip bone mineral density and the lumbar vertebral bone mineral density were (0.78±0.05) g/cm2, and (0.85±0.06) g/cm2 were significantly higher than those in the control group,with statistical significance (P<0.05). Conclusion Zoledronic acid in the treatment of senile osteoporotic unstable intertrochanteric fracture clinical effect is remarkable,can increase bone mineral density in a large extent, the joint recovery had no effect, has clinical significance.

Objective To evaluate the reliability of gas sampling from the distal end of the tracheal tube for partial pressure of end-tidal CO2 (PETCO2) monitoring in neonates.Methods A total of 50 fullterm neonates,scheduled for elective abdominal surgery under general anesthesia,aged 1-28 days,weighing 2.55-4.00 kg,of ASA physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ,were randomly divided into 2 groups (n =25 each) using a random number table:gas samples collected from proximal end of tracheal tube group (group P) and gas samples collected from distal end of tracheal tube group (group D).Epidural catheters of 1 mm in external diameter were used.One end of the catheter was connected to a tube for carbon dioxide sampling,and the other end was inserted into the endotracheal tube and advanced toward the distal hole of the tube.At 15 min of mechanical ventilation,blood samples were collected from the radial artery for record of PETCO2 and for blood gas analysis.Consistency test was performed between PETCO2 and partial pressure of arterial CO2 (PaCO2).Results PET CO2 was significantly lower than PaCO2 in the two groups.There was no significant difference in PaCO2between the two groups.PETCO2 was significantly higher in group D than in group P.Kappa was significantly higher in group D than in group P.Conclusion Gas sampling from the distal end of the tracheal tube is more reliable than gas sampling from the proximal end in monitoring PETCO2 in the neonates.

Objective]To investigate the change of spinal pro?inflammatory cytokines in a rat model of fentanyl induced acute hyperalgesia.[Methods]64 male SD rats were divided into 2 groups(n=32),fentanyl group and NS group. The rats were subcutaneously injected with fentanyl (60 μg/kg) or normal saline (1.2 mL/kg) 4 times with 15?minute intervals. Mechanical nociceptive thresholds and thermal nociceptive latency were measured via the tail pressure test(Tail flick thresholds,TFT) and paw withdrawal test(Paw withdrawal latency,PWL)on the day before,at 1,2,3,and 4 hour and on 1~5 day after injection. 4 rats were killed concomitantly and the lumber spinal cord were harvested to analysis the expression of NF-κB,PGE2,TNF-α,IL-1β,and IL-6.[Results]There were no significant changes of TFT,PWL and the expression of spinal inflammatory cytokines such as NF-κB, PGE2,IL-1β,and TNF-αcompared to baseline of rats treated with normal saline. The value of TFT ,PWL in fentanyl group raised to the highest(above the baseline)at the 1st hour after fentanyl injections and decreased thereafter,reached the lowest at the 1st day, raised increasinglyand up to baseline on the 3 day after injection. NF-κB,PGE2,IL-1β,and TNF-αincreased at the 4th hour,on 1 and 2 day and IL-6 increased at the 4 hour and onthe 1 day after fentanyl injections.[Conclusion]Subcutaneously injection of fentanyl induced significant mechanical and thermal hyperalgesia and increased spinal pro?inflammatory cytokines parallelly , indicated that fentanyl induced acute hyperalgesia is associated with spinal inflammatory reaction in rats.

Objective To explore the effect and compare the relapse rates of 1-desamino-8-D-Arginine Vasopressin(DDAVP) different withdrawal ways after initial 3 months in primary monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis(PMNE) patients,in order to provide some evidences and references to use DDAVP to cure PMNE preferably.Methods Two hundred and fifty-six cases PMNE patients who were treated in Hubei Maternal and Child Health Hospital from November 2014 to June 2016 were selected and randomly divided into group A (DDAVP immediate withdrawal group,65 cases),group B(DDAVP day reduction group,58 cases) and group C (DDAVP step reduction group,60 cases).All patients were given DDAVP tables for 3 months.After 3 months for DDAVP,patients who were effective (full respond and partial respond) to DDAVP continued to undergo a withdrawal stage,those in group A underwent immediate cessation,those in group B continued to receive the effective dose every other day for 2 months and those in group C were step by step tapered by 0.05-0.10 mg every 2-4 weeks until completely stopped,the period was not more than 3 months.All patients had a follow-up visit for 3 months after cessation of DDAVP.Results A total of 183 patients completed the study finally,there were 65 patients in group A,58 patients in group B and 60 patients in group C.Initial 3 months the effective rates of group A,B and C were respectively 89.23％ (58/65),89.66％ (52/58) and 86.67％ (52/60),there were not statistically significant difference(x2 =0.309,P =0.857).There were 58 patients in group A,52 patients in group B and 52 patients in group C continued to undergo the withdrawal stage.One month after cessation of DDAVP,the effective rates of group B (88.46％,46/52) and group C (92.31％,48/52) were significantly higher than group A(67.24％,39/58) (x2 =7.030,P=0.008;x2 =10.417,P=0.001),while the relapse rates of group B(19.23％,10/52) and group C(17.31％,9/52) were significantly less than group A(36.21％,21/58) (x2=3.904,P=0.048;x2=4.937,P =0.026).Three months after cessation of DDAVP,the effective rates of group C (78.85％,41/52) were significantly higher than group A (50.00％,29/58) and group B (57.69％,30/52) (x2 =9.859,P=0.002;x2 =5.371,P=0.020),and the relapse rates of group C(32.69％,17/52) were significantly less than group A (55.17％,32/58) and group B (51.92％,27/52) (x2 =5.609,P =0.018;x2 =3.939,P =0.047),while the effective rates and relapse rates were not statistically significant difference between group A and group B(x2 =0.652,P =0.419;x2 =0.116,P =0.733).Severe adverse events related to DDAVP were not observed in any patients.Conclusion Gradual withdrawal after initial 3 months of DDAVP may improve the effect and reduce the relapse rates,the short-term and long-term curative effects of step-by-step withdrawal treatment are both well,while long-term curative effects of every other day withdrawal treatment is not obviously well.
