OBJECTIVE:To study the anti-inflammatory,antalgic effects and irritation of Fuyan suppository. METHODS:Mouse auricle swelling test(Fuyan suppository 4.5,3.0 and 1.5 g/kg for administration)and mouse vola pedis swelling test(5 min and 0.5,1,4,6 h)were employed to study the anti-inflammatory effect of Fuyan suppository. Mouse writhing response test(Fuy-an suppository 4.5,3.0 and 1.5 g/kg) was used to study the antalgic effect. Rabbit vagina mucosa irritation test was adopted to study the vaginal irritation(Fuyan suppository 1.0 g/rabbit,once daily for one week). RESULTS:Fuyan suppository at a dose of 4.5,3.0 or 1.5 g/kg could inhibit auricle swelling of mice and reduce the times of mice’s writhing response. 3.0 g/kg Fuyan suppos-itory could,at 0.5-6 h from administration,inhibit vola pedis swelling of mice and be nonirritating to the rabbit’s vagina. CON-CLUSIONS:Fuyan suppository has better anti-inflammatory and antalgic effects and is nonirritating to the rabbit’s vagina. Theoreti-cally,vaginal administration of Fuyan suppository can be considered as safe.

Objective To evaluate the role of etomidate post-conditioning on mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) in the rat cortical neurons subjected to oxygen-glucose deprivation and restoration (OGD/R) and the relationship with Robo receptors.Methods The cortical neurons obtained from Sprague-Dawley rats (＜ 24 h after birth) were cultured in vitro and seeded in 6-well plates (2 ml/well).The neurons were divided into 4 groups (n=24 each) using a random number table:control group (group C),OGD/R group,etomidate post-conditioning group (group E),and etomidate post-conditioning + Robo receptor blocker group (group ER).The neurons were subjected to O2-glucose deprivation for 90 min followed by restoration of O2-glucose supply for 24 h.In E and ER groups,etomidate was added to the culture medium with the final concentration of 6 μmol/L immediately after onset of O2-glucose supply.In group ER,Robo blocker RoboN was added to the culture medium with the final concentration of 1 μg/ml at 6 h before O2-glucose deprivation.The neuronal apoptosis was detected using Hoechst/PI double staining,the viability of neurons was measured by MTT assay,and the amount of lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) released was measured using colorimetric method.The mitochondria were extracted,and mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) opening was detected.Results Compared with group C,the apoptosis rate,amount of LDH released,and mPTP opening were significantly increased,and the cell survival rate was decreased in OGD/R,E and ER groups (P＜0.05).Compared with group OGD/R,the apoptosis rate,amount of LDH released,and mPTP opening were significantly decreased,and the cell survival rate was increased in group E,and the apoptosis and amount of LDH released were significantly decreased,and the cell survival rate was increased in group ER (P＜0.05).Compared with group E,the apoptosis rate,amount of LDH released,and mPTP opening were significantly increased,and the cell survival rate was decreased in group ER (P＜0.05).Conclusion Etomidate post-conditioning mitigates OGD/R-induced damage to the cortical neurons through activating Robo receptors and inhibiting mPTP opening in rats.

A variety of views and approaches were found in the appraisal and judgments of the people's courts in various provinces and cities,on medical disputes involving absence of a hand or foot of newborns,which result in different or event contradictory court decisions.This study made an analysis of the characteristics,nature,and classification of such cases as well as countermeasures of medical institutions,with recommendations on rational and appropriate handling of such cases,for the purposes of legitimate rights maintenance of both doctors and patients,and promotion of mutual understanding between the two parities,and establishment of a harmonious doctor-patient relationship.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility and significance of CT image-based threedimensional (3D) brachytherapy for cervical cancer.Methods Three-dimensional (3D) plan and twodimensional (2D) plan were designed for 55 CT images of brachytherapy from 12 cervical cancer patients who received radical radiotherapy in 2013.Dosimetric comparison was performed between the 3D plan and 2D plan,and paired t-test,Wilcoxon signed rank test,Pearson correlation analysis,and Spearman correlation analysis were performed.Results A point dose,D90,V100,CI,and CI' in 3D plan were higher than those in 2D plan (P=0.015,0.016,0.000,0.000,0.000).Bladder point dose,rectal point dose,and rectal D2 cm3 in 3D plan were slightly higher than those in 2D plan,but hot spot dose was significantly reduced in 3D plan (P =0.140,0.123,0.214).Bladder D2cm3 was significantly higher than bladder point dose (P =0.000).Sigmoid colon D2cm3 was more correlated with the average doses of the three highest rectal points than rectal D2 cm3 (r =0.314,0.630,P =0.000,0.000).V100 showed a linear relationship with high-risk CTV (r =0.981,P =0.000).Bladder D2cm3 was higher than 430 cGy when the bladder volume was more than 80 cm3 ;small intestinal D2 cm3 did not change significantly when the bladder volume was less than 115 cm3,but decreased significantly once the volume exceeded the value.Conclusions Compared with the traditional 2D plan,the 3D plan for CT image-based cervical cancer brachytherapy significantly increases the target coverage and conformity index,but does not significantly increase the doses to organs at risk.Point dose evaluation is confirmed to be inaccurate.The doses to the bladder,rectum,and small intestine can be adjusted by controlling the bladder volume.

BACKGROUND:Improper angle of prosthesis placement often induces acetabular cup impact, and limits the scope of activity of artificial hip joint, and cannot meet the requirement of daily life. At present, the angle of acetabular cup instal ation remains controversial during total hip arthroplasty. Moreover, there is lack of targeted guide for the acetabular cup instal ation during hip arthroplasty with different head-neck ratios. OBJECTIVE:To explore the safe range of the artificial acetabular cup instal ation angle for different head-neck ratios. METHODS:In accordance with the calculation formula of range of internal rotation and external rotation, abduction and adduction, flexion and extension after total hip replacement, interpretation of dynamical variety law of acetabular abduction and anteversion, and deriving inequalities depending on Widmer’s standard of artificial hip joint normal activities range:(1) external rotation range was at least 40°, and internal rotation range was at least 80°. (2) Abduction range was at least 50°, and adduction range was at least 50°. (3) Anteflexion range was at least 130°, and extension range was at least 40°. The safety scope of artificial hip joint instal ation angle at different head-neck ratios was determined by solving the above three groups of inequality. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The safe range of the artificial acetabular cup instal ation angle for different head-neck ratios was different. To meet the normal hip joint activities, the head-neck ratios of artificial hip should be greater than 22/12. Artificial hip joint activities gradual y increase with the enlargement of head neck ratios. With enlarging the head-neck ratios, the acetabular cup instal ation safety angle scope of abduction and anteversin gradual y increases and the extreme of abduction increases gradual y, then with anteversion increasing gradual y, the abduction upper extreme of the security scope gradual y decrease and lower extreme of the security scope gradual y increase, tending to 45° symmetrical y. When anteversion is the biggest, the abduction should be 45°.

Objective To evaluate the role of mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) in sevoflurane-induced inhibition of apoptosis induced by oxygen-glucose deprivation and restoration (OGD/ R) in rat neurons.Methods Cortical neurons isolated from neonatal Sprague-Dawley rats born within 24 h, were cultured primarily and seeded in 6-well plates (2 ml/well) at a density of 1 × 106 cells/ml.The neurons were randomly divided into 5 groups (n =72 each) using a random number table: control group (group C), OGD/R group (group O), mPTP opener group (group A), mPTP opener + sevoflurane group (group AS) , and sevoflurane group (group Sev).The cells were cultured in normal culture medium in group C, and the cells were subjected to OGD for 90 min followed by restoration of O2-glucose supply for 24 h in the other groups.In A and AS groups, mPTP opener atractyloside 20 μmol/L was added immediately after OGD.In Sev and AS groups, the cells were post-conditioned with 2％ sevoflurane for 1 h immediately after OGD.The neurons were collected at 24 h of OGD in O and A groups, or at 23 h of OGD in Sev and AS groups.Annexin V-FITC/PI double staining was performed to count apoptotic neurons, apoptotic rate was calculated, and cell survival rate was measured using MTT assay.The mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) was measured by using JC-1 fluorescence probe as indicator.The opening of mPTP was determined through assessing the changes of mitochondrial optical density (△OD540 of mPTP).The expression of pro-apoptotic factors Bid, Bim, Puma protein and mRNA was detected by semi-quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction and Western blot.Results Compared with group C, apoptotic rate was significantly increased, cell survival rate and MMP were decreased, the opening of mPTP was increased, and the expression of Bid, Bim, Puma protein and mRNA was up-regulated in the other groups.Compared with group O, apoptotic rate was significantly decreased, cell survival rate and MMP were increased, the opening of mPTP was decreased, and the expression of Bid, Bim, Puma protein and mRNA was down-regulated in Sev group.Compared with group Sev, apoptotic rate was significantly increased,cell survival rate and MMP were decreased, the opening of mPTP was increased, and the expression of Bid, Bim, Puma protein and mRNA was up-regulated in A and As groups.Compared with group A, apoptotic rate was significantly decreased, cell survival rate and MMP were increased, the opening of mPTP was decreased, and the expression of Bid, Bim, Puma protein and mRNA was down-regulated in group AS.Conclusion Sevoflurane mitigates OGD/R-induced apoptosis in rat neurons through inhibiting mPTP opening.

Objective To evaluate the role of mitochondrial ATP-seusitive potassium (mito-KATP) channels in sevoflurane postconditioning-induced inhibition of oxygen-glucose dcprivation and restoration (OGD/R)-induced pyroptosis in primary rat cardiomyocytes.Methods Cardiomyocytes of newborn Sprague-Dawley rats (＜48 h after birth) were cultured in vitro and seeded in 6-well dishes (2 cm in diameter)or in 96-well plates.The cells were divided into 6 groups (n =15 each) using a random number table:control group (group C),OGD/R group (group O),sevoflurane postconditioning group (group Sev),sevoflurane postconditioning plus 5-hydroxydecanoate (5-HD) group (group SH),5-HD group (group H) and OGD/R plus 5-HD group (group HO).The cardiomyocytes were subjected to oxygen-glucose deprivation for 4 h followed by restoration of oxygen-glucose supply for 24 h.After oxygen-glucose restoration,the cardiomyocytes in the culture media were exposed to 2％ sevoflurane for 1 h to perform sevoflurane postconditioning.At 1 h before oxygen-glucose deprivation,a specific mito-KATP channel blocker 5-HD 100 μmol/L was added to the culture media.Cardiomyocytes were cultured in normal culture atmosphere in group C.Cardiomyocytes were collected at 24 h of oxygen-glucose restoration.Cell pyroptosis was detected by double flow cytometry AlexaFour488 (caspase-1 FLICA staining) and TMR red (DNA staining) staining.The pyroptosis rate was calculated.The cell survival rate was measured by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium assay.The content of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in mitochondria was determined by 2',7'-dichlorofluorescin diacetate assay.The mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) was measured by using JC-I fluorescent probe.The expression of interleukin-1beta (IL-1β) was determined by Western blot.Results Compared with group C,the pyroptosis rate and ROS content were significantly increased,the cell survival rate and MMP were decreased,and the expression of IL-1β was up-regulated in group O (P＜0.05).Compared with group O,the pyroptosis rate and ROS content were significantly decreased,the cell survival rate and MMP were increased,and the expression of IL-1β was down-regulated in group Sev (P＜0.05).Compared with group Sev,the pyroptosis rate and ROS content were significantly increased,the cell survival rate and M MP were decreased,and the expression of IL-1β was up-regulated in group SH (P＜0.05).Compared with group SH,the pyroptosis rate and ROS content were significantly increased,the cell survival rate and MMP were decreased,and the expression of IL-1β was up-regulated in group H O (P＜0.05).Conclusion The mechanism by which sevoflurane postconditioning inhibits OGD/R-induced pyroptosis in primary rat cardiomyocytes is probably associated with increasing mito-KATP channel opening.
