Objective To investigate the role of glucocorticoid receptor (GR) in the induction of neuronal apoptosis in spinal dorsal horn in chronic morphine tolerant rats. Methods Twenty healthy male SD rats weighing 300-350 g in which intrathecal (IT) catheter was successfully implanted without complication were randomized into 4 groups ( n = 5 each): group Ⅰ control ( group C);group Ⅱ morphine ( group M );group Ⅲ morphine +RU38486 (GR antagonist) (group MR) and group Ⅳ morphine + dexamethasone (GR agonist) (group MD).Normal saline 10 μl, morphine 10 μg, morphine 10 μg + RU38486 2 μg and morphine 10μg + dexamethasone 4 μg were injected IT twice a day at 8:00 and 20:00 for6 consecutive days in group C, M, MR and MD respectively. Tail flick latency (TFL) to a thermal nociceptive stimulus was measured every day at 30 min after IT administration in the morning (8:00). Hyperalgesia was considered to be a sign of morphine tolerance. The animals were killed at 7 days after IT drug administration. The L3-5 segment of the spinal cord was isolated for determination of neuronal apoptosis in spinal dorsal horn by TUNEL staining. Apoptotic index was calculated ( the number of apoptotic neurons/the total number of neurons × 100% ). Results TFL was significantly prolonged at day 1 and 3 of IT morphine 10 μg twice a day and returned to baseline at day 5 and 7 indicating morphine tolerance. RU38486 inhibited while dexamethasone enhanced morphine tolerance. IT morphine significantly increased the number of apoptotic neurons in spinal dorsal horn. Morphine-induced neuronal apoptosis was decreased by IT RU38486 and increased by IT dexamethasone. Conclusion Glucocorticoid receptors may be involved in morphine tolerance by inducing neuronal apoptosis in spinal dorsal horn.

Medical Journal of Chinese People's Liberation Army 2015;40(4):327-330
Objective To explore the effects of percutaneous impulsive current stimulation in hepatic region on the activity of hepatic mitochondrial Na+-K+-ATPase and Ca2+-Mg2+-ATPase in exercise-induced fatigued rats, in order to investigate the effect of exercise-induced fatigue. Methods Seventy-two 8-week old male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 4 groups (18 each): control group (group A), fatigue group (group B), stimulation before fatigue group (group C) and stimulation after fatigue group (group D). Exhaustion of animals in B, C and D groups were reproduced by prolonged swimming. Current stimulation (1024Hz, 10mA, current cycle 1sec) for 20 minutes was given to the rats of group C before swimming, and to those in group D after exhaustion. At the weekend of 1st, 3rd and 5th week after modeling, the rats were sacrificed in batches from each group (6 each). The activities of hepatic mitochondrial Na+-K+-ATPase and Ca2+-Mg2+-ATPase were determined by spectrophotometry, and Bradfood protein quantification was employed to quantitate the protein in rats' hepatic mitochondria. Results No significant difference was found in swimming-exhaustion time among 3 groups at the first weekend (P>0.05), while the swimming-exhaustion time was significantly prolonged at the 3rd and 5th weekends in group D than in group B and C (P<0.05), and the exhaustion time at the 5th weekend was significantly less in group B than in group C and D (P<0.05). No significant difference was found in the activities of hepatic mitochondrial Na+-K+-ATPase and Ca2+-Mg2+-ATPase among the 4 groups (including group A) at the weekend of the 1st week (P>0.05), while the enzyme activities were obviously lower at the 3rd and 5th weekend in group B than that in groups A, C and D (P<0.05), and they were also lower in group C than that in group D (P<0.05). Conclusions Exercise-induced fatigue can lower the activity of hepatic mitochondrial Na+-K+-ATPase and Ca2+-Mg2+-ATPase. Percutaneous pulsive current stimulating hepatic region of exercise-induced fatigued rats may improve the enzyme activity, reduce the concentration of free calcium and calcium overload in mitochondria, stimulate the oxidative phosphorylation, accelerate the rate of respiratory chain, promote exercise endurance and score, and relieve exercise-induced fatigue rapidly.

Objective To investigate the serotypes of human enterovirus B ( HEV-B) species cau-sing hand, foot and mouth disease ( HFMD) and to analyze the genetic characteristics of VP1 region in cox-sackievirus B2 ( CVB2 ) and coxsackievirus B5 ( CVB5 ) strains circulating in Anyang area during 2011 to 2015. Methods Real-time RT-PCR and semi-nested RT-PCR were performed to identify coxsackievirus A16 (CVA16), enterovirus 71 (EV71) and other serotypes of enterovirus in order to obtain the complete etiologic composition of HFMD. The numbers of HEV-B serotypes and the percentages of specimens positive for every serotype in all enterovirus-positive specimens were calculated. As CVB2 and CVB5 were the pre-dominant serotypes of HEV-B species, five pairs of primers targeting the VP1 regions of CVB2 and CVB5 were designed to obtain the complete nucleotide sequences of CVB2 and CVB5 VP1 regions. The phylogenet-ic trees were constructed based on the VP1 sequences obtained in this study and those submitted to GenBank by using MEGA7. 0 and BioEdit7. 2. The selection pressures on VP1 regions of CVB2 and CVB5 strains cir-culating in China in recent years were evaluated with the online program of DataMonkey. Results A total of 57 specimens that belonged to 14 serotypes of HEV-B species were detected in Anyang area from 2011 to 2015. The 14 serotypes of HEV-B species accounted for 56% of all serotypes of enterovirus and the speci-mens positive for HEV-B species accounted for 3. 06% of all enterovirus-positive specimens. The HFMD ca-ses caused by most of the HEV-B serotypes were sporadic cases. Small outbreaks of HFMD could also be caused by some serotypes of HEV-B such as CVB2 and CVB5. The complete sequences of VP1 region were obtained from 8 CVB2 strains and 9 CVB5 strains. The phylogenetic trees based on the VP1 sequences dem-onstrated that the CVB2 strains were classified into four genotypes ( A-D) . The mean evolutionary distances between different genotypes ranged from 0. 191 to 0. 208 and the similarities in nucleotide sequences ranged from 79. 7% to 85. 8%. The CVB5 strains were classified into 6 genotypes (A-F). The mean evolutionary distances and the similarities in nucleotide sequences between different genotypes of CVB5 strains ranged from 0. 170 to 0. 285 and 76. 0% to 86. 8%, respectively. Strains of different genotypes varied significantly in the residues on positons 157 and 263 in the VP1 region of CVB2 strains and on positions 75, 90 and 95 in the VP1 region of CVB5 strains. All of the CVB2 strains isolated in Anyang area belonged to D genotype and located intensively in one lineage. The CVB5 strains circulated in Anyang area belonged to F genotype and located in two lineages. The selection pressures on CVB2 strains of D genotype and CVB5 strains of F geno-type circulating in China in recent years were 0. 037 and 0. 036, respectively. Six positively selected amino acid sites were found in the VP1 region of CVB5 strains, but no positively selected amino acid site was found in the VP1 region of CVB2 strains. Conclusion HEV-B species was an essential component of the etiologic spectrum of HFMD in Anyang area during 2011 to 2015, of which CVB5 and CVB2 were the predominant se-rotypes. The VP1 region of CVB5 was more complex and active than that of CVB2 over the course of evolution.
