Objective To study wether dezocine (DZ) can attenuate neuropathic pain in rats and to investigate its mechanism.Methods Neuropathic pain was induced by tight ligation of the left L5 spinal nerve of the male SD rats. 24 Spinal nerve ligation (SNL) model rats were randomly divided into three groups:the first group (saline group, n=8), rats were given intraperitoneal injection of 1ml of saline 14 days after SNL surgery; the second group (dezocine group, n=8), rats were given intraperitoneal injection of 5mg/kg of dezocine in 1ml saline 14 days after SNL surgery;the third group (morphine group,n=8),rats were given intraperitoneal injection of 5 mg/kg of morphine 14 days after SNL surgery. Results Intraperitoneal injection dezocine and morphine had significant analgesic effect in neuropathic pain rats. This analgesic effect lasted for 4-6 hours.Continuous injection of morphine for 3 days produced significant tolerance, while continuous injection of dezocine for 7 days still had significant analgesic effect on neuropathic pain. Conclusion Intraperitoneal injection of dezocine and morphine can attenuate SNL neuropathic pain, continuous injection of morphine for 3 days can produce significant tolerance, while continuous injection of dezocine for 7 days still has significant analgesic effect on neuropathic pain.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of remote lifestyle intervention on the management of weight and related indicators in the overweight and obese population.Methods:A total of 400 individuals with overweight or obesity who participated in remote lifestyle intervention in the Health Management Department of Shenzhen People′s Hospital from May 2015 to December 2018 were included as the remote intervention group, and 400 individuals with overweight and obesity who matched their age and gender were selected as the control group. Dietician established individual WeChat groups with the remote intervention group, and the WeChat platform was used to conduct remote lifestyle intervention for them, including setting weight control goals, giving timely feedback to the food log based on photos, providing exercise guidance and psychological support. The control group received personalized diet and exercise prescriptions, but did not receive remote intervention. After adjusting the data by propensity score matching method, univariate and multivariate logistic regression models were used to analyze the management effect of weight and related indicators in the two groups after one year.Results:After one year of intervention, effective data were obtained from a total of 755 cases (371 cases in the remote intervention group and 384 cases in the control group), and effective data were retained from 446 cases (223 cases in the remote intervention group and 223 cases in the control group) after bias matching. The body mass index (BMI), systolic blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, triglyceride, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein, and serum uric acid of the remote intervention group [(24.85±2.52) kg/m 2, (110.21±10.53) mmHg, (4.96±0.65) mmol/L, (1.25±0.82) mmol/L, (4.87±1.11) mmol/L, (2.88±0.74) mmol/L, and (306.01±95.66) mmol/L respectively] were significantly lower than that of the control group [(27.76±2.28) kg/m 2, (121.14±14.07) mmHg, (5.10±0.87) mmol/L, (1.54±0.83) mmol/L, (5.28±0.96) mmol/L, (3.13±0.80) mmol/L, (355.16±92.68) mmol/L respectively] (all P<0.05). After intervention, intervention was consistently being influencing factors when BMI was reduced by 4%―12%, ( P<0.05). The probability of a 12% reduction in BMI in the remote intervention group was 112.486 times higher than that in the control group (95% CI: 16.852-890.266). At the same time, the initial BMI was an influential factor for the restoration of normal BMI. For every 1 kg/m 2 decrease in the initial BMI, the probability of restoration of normal BMI was 4.76 times higher than that before the decrease (95% CI: 3.222-5.057). Conclusions:Remote lifestyle intervention has a certain effect on the management of weight and related indicators in the overweight and obese populations. It has significant effect on weight loss of overweight and mildly obese people, but has limited effect on moderate and severe obese people.

Objective To investigate the clinical features of internal carotid steal syndrome. Methods The clinical manifestations, CT or MRI, digital subtraction angiography, and blood flow compensation in 6 patients with internal carotid steal syndrome were analyzed. Results Of the 6 patients, 2 had unilateral internal carotid artery stenosis, 4 had severe stenosis (in which 2 were on the left side, 1 was on the right side, and 1 was on both sides). The clinical manifestations of the patients with internal carotid steal syndrome were watershed infarction and transient ischemic attack. Four patients had posterior circulation ischemia and 2 had anterior circulation ischemia. Digital subtraction angiography demonstrated that collateral circulation was established in all the 6 patients. The anterior communicating artery, posterior communicating artery, and pial artery were the common compensatory vessels. Conclusions Internal carotid artery steal syndrome can be presented as anterior or posterior circulation ischemia, and the collateral circulation plays an important role in the compensation.

BACKGROUND: Whether ceramic alloy can be reused after casting depends on its chemical composition, microstructure, castability, as well as mechanical property. However, the effects of recasting on the composition and microstructure of Ni-Cr ceramic alloys are poorly understood. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of recasting on the composition and microstructure of Ni-Cr ceramic alloys. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: In vitro materials observation. The experiment was performed at the Department of Prosthodontics, Affiliated Stomatological Hospital, Fujian Medical University, Instrumentation Analysis and Measurement Center, Fuzhou University, from June to August 2007. MATERIALS: The Ni-Cr ceramic alloys were recast 6 times in argon protection to obtain testing sample with diameter of 30.0 mm, thickness of 1.0 mm and side length of 10.0 mm, thickness of 1.0 mm, namely generation I VI. Simultaneously, the sample produced by initial alloy was called generation 0. METHODS: The original alloy and each generation square plates were analyzed by X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF) for qualitative and semi-quantitative analysis. The microstructure and the phase structure of original alloy and each generation castings which had been polished by buffing machine were observed and analyzed by metallographic microscope and X-ray diffractometer (XRD). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Contents of chemical composition, shrinkage cavity, porosity and inclusion, and distribution of XRD patterns. RESULTS: The results of XRF indicated that there were no significant difference on the main composition (Ni, Cr, Mo, Al, Be) among the Ni-Cr ceramic alloys multiple recast 0-6 times in argon protection and accorded with the demands. The metallographic structure of Ni-Cr ceramic alloys were dendritic eutectic structure, but the size of dendritic crystal grain in the casting coarsening, shrinkage cavity, porosity and inclusion gradually increased, with the increase of multiple recast times. The phase structure of Ni-Cr ceramic alloys were Ni-base solid solution (face-centered cubic lattice structure) and the chromium was widely distributed in the nickel base. There were neither significant difference of phase structure nor the new phase structure appeared among the Ni-Cr ceramic alloys multiple recast 0-6 times. CONCLUSION: There is no significant difference of main composition and phase structure between original alloy and each generation castings in argon protection. With the increase of recast times, the size of dendritic crystal coarsening, shrinkage cavity, porosity and inclusion gradually increased.

A patient with severe hypoglycemia due to insulin-like growth factor ( IGF)-IIsecreted by a giant solitary fibrous tumor of the pleura ( SFTP) was investigated through comprehensively reviewing his medical history and clinical records. The patient had severe hypoglycemia accompanied with significantly decreased serum insulin level. A solitary fibrous tumor of the pleura was found, and right pneumonectomy removed this giant tumor. Two years after the operation, the patient was fit and well with no further hypoglycemia episodes. Non-islet-cell tumor hypoglycemia should be considered in patients who have hypoglycemia episodes accompanied with significantly decreased serum insulin level.

[Summary] A 47 years old female presented with palpitation, tremble, sweaty, and weight gain. Insulinoma was suspended and confirmed with hypoglycemia caused by endogenous hyperinsulinemia. The CT scan was failed to localize the tumor. MRI and ASVS showed inconsistent results. A nutrient arterial was found by arterial angiography and explained the different results. Robert assistant surgery successfully removed the tumor and the patient was well recovered.
