OBJECTIVETo observe the analgesic effect of electroacupuncture (EA) on collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) rats and its regulating effect on inflammation reaction and the endogenous opioid system of synovial tissues. Methods A total of 30 healthy male Wistar rats were randomly divided into a control group, a model group and an EA group, 10 rats in each one. The chronic pain model of CIA rats was made by cattle type-II collagen in the model group and EA group. Rats in the EA group were treated with EA at "Zusanli" (ST 36) and "Kunlun" (BL 60) for 30 min from 16th day after model establishment, once a day for consecutive 10 days. Rats in the control group did not receive any treatment. Rats in the model group were treated with fixation as the EA group. Threshold of pain, arthritis index, paw swelling were measured before model establishment and 16 d, 20 d, 23 d and 25 d after model establishment. The levels of beta-endorphin (β-END), met-enkephalin (met-ENK), dynorphin A (Dyn A) were measured by radioimmunoassay; the mRNA expressions of mu opioid receptor (MOR), kappa opioid receptor (KOR) and delta opioid receptor (DOR) in synovial tissues of CIA rats were detected by I quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR).
RESULTSCompared with the control group, threshold of pain was reduced (all P<0. 01), arthritis index was increased (all P<0. 01) and paw swelling was increased (all P<0. 01) in the model group on the 16th day, 20th day, 23rd day, 25th day after model establishment. Compared with the model group, the threshold of pain was increased in the EA group (all P<0. 01), arthritis index and paw swelling were reduced (all P<0. 01) on the 23rd day and 25th day after model establishment. Compared with the control group, the level of Dyn A in synovial tissues of CIA rats was increased in the model group (P<0. 01); the mRNA expressions of MOR, KOR and DOR were down-regulated lower than 0. 5 fold of normal level. Compared with the model group, the level of β-END in synovial tissues of the knee joint was increased in the EA group (P<0. 05), and the mRNA expressions of MOR, KOR and DOR in synovial tissues of CIA rats were up-regulated more than 2 folds of normal level.
CONCLUSIONThe intervention of EA on chronic pain of CIA rats is superior, which is likely to be related with effects of EA on anti-inflammation and up-regulation of synovial tissue β-END and MOR, KOR, DOR.

Objective To explore the relationship between plasma interleukin-11(sIL-11) level and platelet count post-chemotherapy with hematological malignancy patients and analyse a sIL-11 level which may maintain a safe platelet count so as to guide the treatment. Methods Blood samples were collected from the patients with hematological malignancy at certain time point of pre-and post-chemotherapy, and serum level of sIL-11 and platelet count were determined separately. Different statistical methods were applied to test the relationship between sIL-11 level and platelet changes. Results 99 cases finished this study. The findings are: the sIL-11 level went up and reached the peak on day 6 post-chemotherapy, while the platelet count kept dropping to the lowest on day 10, the sIL-11 peak occurred before the lowest platelet count, patients with faster sIL-11 increase may maintain a comparatively higher plateled count. 99 eases were grouped according to the lowest platelet count and compared: the group with higher platelet count tend to have higher peak sIL-11, more cases with higher peak sIL-11, with faster daily average sIL-11 increase, the lowest platelet count occurred later. Logistic regression analysis showed the factors contributed to lower platelet includes slower daily average sIL-11 increase and sIL-11 level less than 2000 pg/ml on Day4 post-chemotherapy. Conclusion There were correlation between the serum sIL-11 level and platelet counts, the platelet count change may be predicted by determining the plasma sIL-11 level post-chemotherapy. Patients with sIL-11 level less than 2000 pg/ml on Day4 post-chemotherapy may be endangered with severe thrombocytopenia, rhIL-11 or platelet transfusion treatment should be considered.

Methods:
Basic information, treatment classification and drug resistance data of patients with pulmonary tuberculosis and positive pathogenic detection in Luohu District from 2012 to 2022 were collected through the Tuberculosis Surveillance System of Chinese Disease Prevention and Control Information System, and resistance rates of rifampicin and isoniazid and the changing trends were analyzed.
Results:
A total of 2 126 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis were collected and had a median age of 34 (interquartile range, 25) years, including 1 334 males (62.75%) and 792 females (37.25%). There were 302 patients with drug-resistance in Luohu District from 2012 to 2022, with a resistance rate of 14.21%. Among them, 60 patients were monoresistant to rifampicin (2.82%), 113 patients were monoresistant to isoniazid (5.32%), and 129 patients were multidrug resistant (6.07%). The rate of rifampicin monoresistance showed a downward trend from 2012 to 2022, while the rate of multidrug resistance showed an upward trend (both P<0.05). There was no significant tendency in the rate of isoniazid monoresistance (P>0.05). The rate of multidrug resistance among patients without Shenzhen residence was higher than that among patients with Shenzhen residence; the rates of rifampicin resistance and multidrug resistance among retreated patients were higher than those among treatment-naïve patients (all P<0.05).
Conclusions
The rate of rifampicin monoresistance appeared a downward trend and the rate of multidrug resistance appeared an upward trend among patients with pulmonary tuberculosis in Luohu District from 2012 to 2022. Attention should be given to non-Shenzhen residence and retreated patients.

Objective To explore the effects of vacuum sealing combined with NovaBay on improving diabetic foot wound healing, and to offer new insights and methods for treating chronic aporetic wounds. Methods Totally 130 patients with diabetic foot ulcer admitted in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang Chinese Medical University between November 2015 and November 2016 were randomly and equally divided into two groups. Patients in the treatment group received 5 ml NovaBay for twice a day on the basis of vacuum sealing drainage (VSD), and received drainage 5 min after treatment with NovaBay, while patients in the control group received vacuum sealing drainage with 5 ml 0.9% sodium chloride solution for twice a day, and received drainage 5 min after treatment of sodium chloride solution. The intervention time of the patients in both groups were 12 days, with NovaBay and ducts replaced every 3 days. The patients in the two groups were evaluated with Pressure Ulcer Scale for Healing (PUSH) and the coverage rate of granulation tissue was calculated 0, 6, and 12 days after the intervention. And the positive rate of bacteria was tested at the end of the intervention. Results The PUSH scores of the patients in the two groups decreased as time went by, indicating that the wound healing was effective (P<0.001). The coverage rate of granulation tissue rose with time, and that of the patients in the treatment group rose more obviously (P<0.001). 12 days after the intervention, the patients in the treatment group (4.62%) showed a lower positive rate of bacteria (P<0.001) than the patients in the control group (47.70%). Conclusions Vacuum sealing combined with NovaBay shows remarkable effects in cleaning infection of chronic and aporetic wounds, thus a new and effective way to improve the growth of granulation tissue and wound healing.
