Objective To investigate the safety of inhalation of isoflurane (ISO) or sevoflurane (SEVO) mixed with nitric oxide (NO) during mechanical ventilation.Methods Thirty-six healthy piglets of both sexes weighing 7-11 kg were randomly allocated to one of 6 groups ( n = 6 each): (1) control group was mechanically ventilated with O2; (2) NO group inhaled 20 ppm NO; (3) ISO group inhaled 1.3 MAC isoflurane; (4) ISO + NO group 1.3 MAC isoflurane + 20 ppm NO; (5) SEVO group inhaled 1.3 MAC sevoflurane and (6) SEVO + NO group inhaled 1.3 MAC sevoflurane + 20 ppm NO. The animals were mechanically ventilated with IPPV (VT 10 ml?kg-1 , RR 30-40 bpm, I: E 1:2) for 4 h in the all 6 groups. The animals were premedicated with atropine 0.02 mg?kg-1 i.m. . The Ⅳ line was established for fluid and drug administration. An additional dose of ketamine 10 mg?kg-1 was given i.v. before tracheostomy. 4F S-G catheter was placed in pulmonary artery via right internal jugular vein for hemodynamic monitoring. Femoral artery was cannulated for BP monitoring and collection of artrerial blood samples. MAP, HR, CVP, right ventricular pressure (RVP), PCWP, MPAP and total compliance of respiratory system (Crs), Paw, VT and PET CO2 were recorded before (T0 ) and at 1, 2, 3, 4 h of ventilation (T1-4). Blood samples were taken at T0 , T2 and T4 for determination of Met Hb and NO2- /NO3- . The animals were killed at the end of 4 h mechanical ventilation and the lungs were removed for determination of wet/dry(W/D) lung weight ratio, broncho-alveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and microscopic examination. BALF was collected for determination of surface tension and concentrations of saturated phosphate (DSPC) , total phosphate (TPL) total protein (TP) and white cell count. Results Crs was significantly decreased at the end of ventilation (T4 ) as compared with the baseline (T0) in group 3,4,5 and 6, while there was no significant change in Crs in group 1 and 2. DSPC/TP was significantly lower in group 3,4,5 and 6 than in group 1 ( P 0.05 ) . Conclusion 1.3 MAC isoflurane or sevoflurane mixed with 20 ppm NO can be used safely during mechanical ventilation.

To find the rule of alterations in AFP mRNA concentration in peripheral blood in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) before and after the treatment with transhepatic arterial chemotherapy and embolization(TAE), 15 cases of the pateints with HCC were included in this survey. The AFP mRNA concentration in peripheral blood of the patients were investigated using compatitive RT PCR technique before and 1,2,3,4, 5,6,7, 14, 28 days after TAE. The results showed that AFP mRNA concentration on the third day after TAE was the highest. It declined to the level before treatment during one week.It suggested that AFP mRNA concentration changed with a rule, and following the rule, preventive measure to distant metastasis could be instituted in clinical work.

Objeetlve To evaluate the role of IL-1β and TNF-α in the spinal cord in a murine model of bone cancer pain(BCP)induced by activation of glial cells.Methods Three hundred and sixty male 8-10 weeks old C3H/He mice weighing 18-22 g were randomly divided into 6 groups(n=60 each):group I nomal control (group N);group Ⅱ sham operation (group S);group Ⅲ BCP+aCSF(group aCSF);group Ⅳ BCP+FC (group FC);group V BCP+MI(group MI) and group Ⅵ BCP+FC+MI (group FC-MI).BCP was produced by inieeting fibrosarcoma cells of bone into the medullary cavity of left ealcaneus bone.Intrathecal catheter was placed in the 4 BCP groups(group Ⅲ-Ⅳ).FC 0.5 nmol/5 μl or/and MI 16 μg/5 μl were injected IT once a day for 21 consecutive days after operation.The mechanical threshold to von Frey filaments was measured at 0.5 h(T0)before injection of fibrosarcoma cells and at 3,5,7,10,14,21 d(T1-6)after injection of fibrosarcoma cells.Twelve animals of each group were killed and L4.5 segment of the spinal cord was removed at T0,1,3,5,6 for determination of IL-1β and TNF-α content (by ELISA) and expression (by immuno-flurorescence) in the spinal cord. Results The mechanical threshold was significantly decreased at T1-6, while IL-1β content at T1,3,5,6 and TNF-α content at T5,6 was significantly increased in group BCP, FC, MI and FC + MI compared with those at T0 and group C (P < 0.05). Compared with group BCP, the mechanical threshold was significantly increased at T1-6 in group MI and FC + MI and at T4-6 in group FC, IL-1β content was significantly decreased at Ts,3,5,6 in group MI and FC + MI and at T5,6 in group FC and TNF-α content was significantly decreased at T5,6 in group FC, MI and FC + MI ( P < 0.05). Conclusion IL-1β and TNF-α in the spinal cord is involved in the process of glial cell activation-induced BCP.

Objective To observe characteristics of the activity in resting brain of asymptomatic reflux esophagitis (RE) patients,and explore the role of default network in the pathogenesis of asymptomatic RE.Methods Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) was performed to scan the brains of 15 asymptomatic RE patients,15 symptomatic RE patients and 15 healthy volunteers under no-mission-stimulation state.With fractional amplitude of low frequency fluctuation (fALFF),characteristics of the strengthened and weakened regions of asymptomatic RE patients,symptomatic RE patients and healthy individuals were compared and analyzed.SPM 5 was applied for data preprocessing.Single-sample t test was performed to observe the noticeable active regions of each group under resting state,and then double-sample t test was used to compare the characteristics of active regions of the entire brain between asymptomatic RE patients and symptomatic RE patients or healthy individuals.Results Under resting state,the active brain regions of asymptomatic RE patients,symptomatic RE patients and healthy individuals were similar.The activity of only small part of brain regions in visceral sensory processing relevant networks changed.There was no significant difference in the active regions of default network under resting state between asymptomatic RE patients and healthy individuals.Compared with symptomatic RE patients,fALEF decreased at right central sulcus cover,right superior temporal gyrus,right insula,right transverse temporal gyrus,right postcentral gyrus,superior temporal gyrus and temporal pole (X=50,Y=-6,Z=12,t=2.7874,P＜0.01).Conclusion The difference in characteristics of activity in default network under resting state may play an important role in the pathogenesis of asymptomatic RE.

This study was designed to investigate the impact of ultra-filtration extract mixture from Astragals mongholicus (UEMAM) o radiosensitivity of H22 ascitic tumor in mice to 12C6+ ions radiation. The H22 ascitic tumor model was established in mice by intraperitoneal injection of 0.2 mL H22 ascitic cells. The animals were subsequently divided into 4 groups randomly, treated with normal saline, UEMAM, heavy ion beam radiotherapy and UEMAM plus heavy ion beam radiotherapy, respectively. The body weights, abdomen circumference of the mice were measured and the mouse behavior was monitored every day; survival time was recorded to evaluate life extension effect; flow cytometry technique was used to detect H22 cell apoptosis and cell cycle; protein levels of p53, Bax, Bcl-2 and cleaved Caspase-3 were analyzed by Western blot; the single cell gel electrophoresis was used to detect the level of deoxyribonucleic acid damage (DNA damage). The results suggest that UEMAM significantly increased survival time, and decreased body weights and abdomen circumference over the saline control group. The treatment increased cell apoptosis, cycle arrest and DNA damage compared to the saline control group. UEMAM significantly enhanced the therapeutic effect of heavy ion beam radiation in survival time, and decreased body weights and abdomen circumference in the tumor-baring mice. The combination increased cell apoptosis, cycle arrest and DNA damage compared to the radiotherapy group. The results of Western blot suggest that the treatment significantly enhanced p53-induced apoptotic signals. The experiment discovered that UEMAM could improve radiosensitivity of H22 ascitic tumor through activation of p53-mediated apoptotic signal pathway.

BACKGROUND:Repairing tuberculosis bone defect has become a research focus with the development of anti-tuberculosis functional bone tissue engineering scaffold. OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the preparation, drug release performance and osteogenic properties of the anti-tuberculosis functional bone tissue engineering scaffold. METHODS:PubMed, Chinese Journal Ful-text Database, Wanfang databases were searched by computer for articles addressing functional bone tissue engineering scaffold for repair of tuberculosis bone defect. The keywords were“bone tissue engineering scaffold;tuberculosis;bone defect”in English and Chinese. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The anti-tuberculosis functional bone tissue engineering scaffold has good drug delivery, biocompatibility, osteogenic properties and anti-tuberculosis properties. As a good choice to avert bone defect relapse, the scaffold enables a long and stable drug release into bone defects to enhance the therapeutic efficacy of anti-tuberculosis drugs topical y. Given the technical deficiencies, we can only combine two drugs with the anti-tuberculosis bone tissue engineering scaffold, although the combined use of three or four anti-tuberculosis drugs is preferred. Additional y, a complete course of anti-tuberculosis treatment often lasts for 6-12 months, which cannot be achieved by the existing anti-tuberculosis bone tissue engineering scaffold. Up to now, the effect of this scaffold has not yet been confirmed in animal models, although how to prepare this scaffold has been reported.

Aim To investigate the effect of intrathecal injection(it) of minocycline(MC),a selective microglia inhibitor,on the maintenance of pain in a murine model of cancer pain.Methods Forty-two male C3H/He mice were randomly divided into 3 groups(n=14 each):sham+PBS group was operated and received 10 ?l PBS injection into calcaneus medullary space;sarcoma+PBS group and sarcoma+MC group were operated and received 2?105 sarcoma cells/10 ?l PBS implantation into calcaneus medullary space.On the PID11(post-implantation day 11),10 mice were taken from each group randomly,sarcoma+PBS group and sham+PBS group were received 0.9% NS(5 ?l) it sarcoma+MC group was received MC(1 nmol,5 ?l) it Mechanical pain threshold and cold hyperalgesia assay were measured before and after it at 0.5,1,2,4,8,24 h.The last 4 mice of each group were received a normally non-noxious palpation of the ipsilateral heel 90 min on the PID12 after it,then the animals were killed and L4-6 segment of spinal cord was removed for analysing the c-fos expression(by immunohistochemistry).Results Bone cancer pain decreased the mechanical and cold pain threshold and activated the c-fos expression in the spinal cord;MC it transient attenuated bone cancer pain-induced hyperalgesia and allodynia and suppressed the expression of c-fos protein.Conclusion The activation of microglia in the spinal cord may be involved in the maintenance of bone cancer pian.
