Objective:To assess whether intrathecal orphanin FQ can develop the antinociceptive effect tolerance,and whether there is a cross tolerance between the antinociceptive effect of intrathecal orphanin FQ and the ? opioid receptor agonist morphine.Methods: Tail flick test was used to observe the change of antinociceptive effect after orphanin FQ/morphine intrathecal microinjection into the rats tolerant to acute or chronic morphine/orphanin FQ.Results:Like morphine,large dosage of continuous intrathecal orphanin FQ microinjection produced tolerance to the antinociceptive effect,but there was no apparent cross tolerance between the orphanin FQ and morphine; Hyperalgesic response was found in morphine tolerant rats,but not in orphanin FQ tolerant rats.Conclusion:Lack of cross tolerance between the antinociceptive effect of intrathecal orphanin FQ and morphine indicates that the mechanism of tolerance to orphanin FQ may differ from that to morphine; The antinociceptive effect of intrathecal orphanin FQ may be largely related with its specific receptor in the spinal cord.

Objective To investigate the different changes in the regulation and gene expression of mu opioid receptor (MOR) in rat brain after acute and chronic morphine dependence.Methods Forty male SD rats weighing (210?35)g were randomly divided into five equal groups of eight animals each: (1) control; (2) acute dependence: (3) chronic dependence;(4) acute abstinence; (5) chronic abstinence. In acute dependence group rats received eight consecutive subcutaneous injection of morphine 5mg?kg-1 at 2h interval. In chronic dependence group morphine was injected subcutaneously three times a day(8:00, 15: 00, 22:00) for six days. The doses of morphine were 5, 10, 20, 40, 50, 60 mg? kg-1?day-1 from the 1st day to the 6th day respectively. In the two abstinence groups, the withdrawal syndromes were induced by intraperitoneal naloxone 5 mg ? kg-1. The rats in control group received saline. 30 min after the end of all procedures the animals were decapitated on ice. Brain was removed immediately and kept in liquid nitrogen. The Bmax and Kd values of 3H-DAMGO saturation binding to MOR were measured by Scatchard analysis. The gene expression of MOR was appraised by RT-PCR. Results (1) In the acute dependence group the Bmax value(the specific binding capacity of MOR) significantly increased and the affinity decreased. After abstinence the Bmax value returned to normal, but the affinity was still low. In chronic dependence and abstinence groups Bmax value decreased significantly and there was no change in Kd value. (2) The level of MOR mRNA increased significantly in acute dependence group and returned rapidly to normal after abstinence . In chronic dependence and abstinence groups the transcription of MOR was significantly lower than in control group. Conclusions The modulation of MOR in rat brain is different between acute and chronic dependence and there must be similar post-receptor mechnism involved.

Objective To investigate the relationship between acute biliary pancreatitis (ABP) and anomalous pancreaticobiliary duetal union (APBDU). Methods 131 patients with ABP were enrolled to test the serum total bilirubin (TB), alanine amintransferase (ALT), aspartate amintransferase (AST), alkaline phosphates (ALP), γ-glutamyl transferase (γ-GT). All the patients received medical treatment, and then these tests were performed again. Thereafter, all the patients underwent selective surgery and intra-operative cholangiography was performed to observe the pancreaticobiliary duetal union. Results 27 patients (20.6%) with APBDU were found in 131 patients. Among them, 8 cases (29.6%) was B-P subtype (TypeⅠ), 16 cases (59.3%) was P-B subtype (TypeⅡ) , and the remaining 3 cases was mixed subtype (TypeⅢ). A significant decrease of ALT, AST, ALP, γ-GT after non-surgical treatment in both group of APBDU and NAPBDU was noted (P<0.05). The serum levels of ALT, AST,γ-GT in APBDU patients were (71.81± 23.19) U/L, (47.85±27.87) U/L, (52.86±31.49) U/L, respectively; and in NAPBDU patients were (51.96±15.40) U/L, (40.77±16.58) U/L, (34.86±26.47) U/L. The difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Condusions APBDU is an important etiology of ABP.

Objective To investigate the relationship between expression of nuclear factor kappa B p65 ( NF-κB p65) and hippocampal neuronal apoptosis in acute necrotizing pancreatitis (ANP) rats with brain injury. Methods Sixty-four SD rats were randomized into normal saline group (NS) and ANP group. The ANP rat model was induced by retrograde injection of 4% sodium taurocholate into the pancreaticobiliary duct of SD rats. Nissle stain was used to detect the brain injury. Neuronal apoptosis was determined by TUNEL.NF-κB p65 expression was detected by immunohistochemistry and RT-PCR. Results Hippocampal neuron was absent, karyopyknosis, unclear nucleolus and decreased Nissl bodies were found, the injuries was aggravated with time. The apoptosis index at the 3, 6 and 12 h in ANP group was 10.63 ±0.24, 21.02±0.25, 17.12±0.36, respectively, while they were 0.33±0.19,0.71±0.67, 0.45 ± 0. 33 in NS group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P < 0. 01 ). The expressions of NF-κB p65 mRNA were 0. 63 ± 0.05,1.05 ±0.06,0.92 ±0.05, which were significantly higher than those in the NS group (0.11 ±0.01,0.12±0.01,0.08±0.01,P<0.05).The chatge of expression of NF±κB p65 protein was consistent with that of NF-κB p65 mRNA. Conclusions The brain injury of ANP rats was highly correlated with neuronal apoptosis at the early and middle phase of ANP, and its mechanism may be related with NF-κB p65 activation.

Objective To analyze the relationship between blood glucose level, blood pressure and weight with pancreatic cancer genesis. Then to explore the metabolism associated risk factors in pancreatic cancer genesis. Methods Form December 2002 to September 2009 in Ruijin Hospital, 548 pancreatic cancers with pathology diagnosis after pancreatectomy were collected for the study with retrospective analysis method. The association of pancreatic cancer with blood glucose level, blood pressure, weight and other metabolic factors were analyzed. Results With principal component analysis, it suggested that there were strong correlation between blood glucose level, blood pressure and weight index (BMI) increasing with pancreatic cancer. The contribution rates were 3. 614%,25. 236%, 15. 418% and 12. 918%, respectively. Single factor analysis indicated that the association between pancreatic cancers and new onset diabetes mellitus (duration≤ 2 years) was stronger than that of long-term diabetes mellitus. The occurrence rate of pancreatic cancer in patients with long-term diabetes whose blood glucose level was not well controlled recently while well controlled previously (44.6 % ) was significant hister than that in patients without diabetes (5. 6% , P<0.05). The fasting blood glucose level of these PC patients ( 13.87± 3. 49 mmol/L) was significantly higher than new onset and other long-term diabetes patients, the comparative risk was 13.46 (95% CI 4. 560,39. 731). BMI increasing was a risk factor of pancreatic cancer, but there was no significant statistical difference between risk degree and BMI increasing level. All above metabolic diseases were risk factors of pancreatic cancer, but for pathology, location and stage of pancreatic cancer there was no statistical difference in theses factors. Conclusion This study suggested diabetes, BMI increasing and hypertension were high risk factors of pancreatic cancer genesis. New onset and long-term diabetes patients whose blood glucose not controlled well recently should be watched carefully for pancreatic cancer. Early treatment and intensive follow-up of metabolic disease might be helpful to early diagnosis and prognosis of pancreatic cancer.

Objective:To observe the development of tolerance and dependence to endomorphin 1(EM 1) and its regulation on ? opioid receptor(MOR) in rat brain,providing references for the mechanism of the EM 1 dependence. Methods: Totally 60 SD rats were randomly divided into saline, acute EM 1 treatment and chronic EM 1 treatment groups. For acute EM 1 treatment, rats were injected intracerebroventricularly with 10 ?g/kg EM 1 30 min prior to sacrifice. The chronic group were treated with EM 1 daily administration at 8:00 and 15:00 starting with 10 ?g/kg on day 1 to 50 ?g/kg on day 9. After chronic EM 1 treatment on day 1, 3, 6 and 9, the antinociceptive AD 50 or catatonic ED 50 values were determined by modified Dixon's method. The B max and K d values of 3H DAMGO saturation binding to MOR were measured by Scatchard analysis. The gene expression of MOR was appraised by RT PCR. Results:(1) EM 1 chronic treatment produced a high degree of tolerance to the antinociceptic and catatonic effects on the 3rd day (3.1 fold and 1.9 fold) and the 9th day (28.4 fold and 8.5 fold). The jumping times, weight lost and withdrawal score of rats were significantly higher than that of the control group after 9 d chronic EM 1 treatment. (2) After 9 d of administration with EM 1, the specific binding capacity and mRNA expression of MOR in rat cortex, midbrain and striatum were all decreased compared with those of the control and acute treatment groups, but the K d values were not significantly altered. Conclusion:Endomorphin 1 has the tolerant and dependent potent. For long term chronic treatment, Endomorphin 1 induces downregulation of the binding capacity and mRNA of MOR, which may be related to the dependence development.

Objective:
To investigate the pH value of towels in public places in Hangzhou City, so as to provide the evidence for improving health supervision of towels in public places.
Methods:
One three- and higher-star hotel, one less than three-star hotel, one express hotel, one barber shop and one beauty shop were selected from 13 counties (districts) of Hangzhou City in 2021, and 3% to 5% of all cleaned and disinfected towels that planned to be used were randomly sampled. The type of public places and towels cleaning and disinfection were collected using the basic investigation form provided in the Public Place Health Risk Factors Surveillance Program (2021 version), and the pH value of towels was measured according to the national criteria Textiles-determination of pH of aqueous extract (GB/T 7573-2009). According to the national criteria of Hygienic indicators and limits for public places (GB 37488-2019), a pH value of 6.5 to 8.5 was defined qualified, and the rates of qualified pH values was estimated for towels sampled from different places and with different cleaning and disinfection types.
Results:
Totally 64 public places were investigated, and 807 towels were measured for pH values, with a median pH value of 7.3 (interquartile range, 0.7). A total of 655 towels had qualified pH values (81.16%). The rates of qualified pH values were 84.95%, 75.56%, 73.21%, 85.61% and 88.81% for towels sampled from the three- and higher-star hotel, less than three-star hotel, express hotel, barber shop and beauty shop, respectively (χ2=19.307, P=0.001). The rate of qualified pH values for self-cleaned and -disinfected towels was significantly higher than for towels with outsourcing cleaning and disinfection services (88.28% vs. 77.18%; χ2=14.973, P<0.001). The rate of qualified pH values was 83.82% for towels with outsourcing cleaning and disinfection services sampled from the three- and higher-star hotel, and was both 100.00% for self-cleaned and -disinfected towels sampled from the less than three-star hotel and beauty shop.
Conclusion
The cleaning quality of towels remains to be improved in public places in Hangzhou City, and health supervisions on towels are recommended to be improved in public places.
