Objective To study wether dezocine (DZ) can attenuate neuropathic pain in rats and to investigate its mechanism.Methods Neuropathic pain was induced by tight ligation of the left L5 spinal nerve of the male SD rats. 24 Spinal nerve ligation (SNL) model rats were randomly divided into three groups:the first group (saline group, n=8), rats were given intraperitoneal injection of 1ml of saline 14 days after SNL surgery; the second group (dezocine group, n=8), rats were given intraperitoneal injection of 5mg/kg of dezocine in 1ml saline 14 days after SNL surgery;the third group (morphine group,n=8),rats were given intraperitoneal injection of 5 mg/kg of morphine 14 days after SNL surgery. Results Intraperitoneal injection dezocine and morphine had significant analgesic effect in neuropathic pain rats. This analgesic effect lasted for 4-6 hours.Continuous injection of morphine for 3 days produced significant tolerance, while continuous injection of dezocine for 7 days still had significant analgesic effect on neuropathic pain. Conclusion Intraperitoneal injection of dezocine and morphine can attenuate SNL neuropathic pain, continuous injection of morphine for 3 days can produce significant tolerance, while continuous injection of dezocine for 7 days still has significant analgesic effect on neuropathic pain.

Objective To evaluate the detection of serum pepsinogen (PG) in screening of gastric cancer. Methods (1) To calculate the detection rate of gastric cancer in PG Positive patients from northeastern, noah-western and northern China. (2) To determine the PG positive rate in patients with chronic superficial and atrophic gastritis. (3) To calculate the detection rate of gastric cancer, H. pylori infection and esophageal cancer in PG positive patients from gastric cancer high risk areas. Results (1) The detection rate of gastric cancer in PC, positive patients from Changchun (northeastern China), Xihing (northwestern China) and Beijing ( northern China) was 22. 58%, 25. 2% and 0, respectively. The sensitivity of PG to seeen gastric cancer in Changchun and Xihing was 50. 9% and 35.6%, and the specificity was 82. 56% and 85.69%, respectively. (2) Only 25% of patients with chronic atrophic gastritis were PG positive. (3) The serum PG level was measured in 2346 cases from gastric cancer high risk areas, and PG positive rate was 27.02% (634/2346), in which 496 patients (76. 65%, 496/634) received endoscopy, and gastric cancer was detected in 10 (2. 02%, 10/496), including 9 cases of early gastric caner. The prevalence of gastric cancer was 0. 43% in common population and 1.58% in PG positive population. The infection rate of H. pylori was 70. 73% in 2346 subjects and 2 cases of esophageal cancer, including 1 case of early cancer was diagnosed. Conclusion Serum PG level cannot be used as a marker for gastric cancer or atrophic gastritis, while it may be of value for gastric cancer screening in high risk areas.

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of gastrin?17( G?17) and pepsinogen( PG) for gastric cancer. Methods A multicenter cross?sectional study of patients with continuous stomach discomfort from four centers including Changhai Hospital Affiliated to Second Military Medical University, the First Hospital Affiliated to Anhui Medical University, Qinghai Provincial People′s Hospital and the First Hospital Affiliated to Zhejiang University of Chinese Medicine from May 2014 to September 2015 was conducted. Before gastroscopy, fasting serum gatrin?17 and pepsinogen were analyzed by enzyme?linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA). The efficacy of G?17 and PG were evaluated according to endoscopic and pathological results. Results Based on the results of the pathological diagnosis, 1 122 cases were enrolled and divided into chronic atrophic gastritis group ( 548 cases ) , chronic non?atrophic gastritis group ( 370 cases), and gastric cancer group(204 cases). Serum G?17 and PGⅡ levels significantly increased(P<0?05) and PGR significantly decreased( P<0?05) in gastric cancer group compared with other groups. There was no significant difference in PGⅠlevel among three groups. The cut?off value of G?17 to diagnose gastric cancer was 7 pmol/L. The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of G?17 for gastric cancer were 59?31%, 70?59%, 68?54%, 30?95% and 88?65% respectively. The cut?off value of PG Ⅰ/PG Ⅱ( PGR ) to diagnose gastric cancer was 7. The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of PGR for gastric cancer were 41?18%, 83?01%, 75?40%, 35?00% and 86?39% respectively. The cut?off value of PGⅡto diagnose gastric cancer was 10 μg/L. The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of PGⅡfor gastric cancer were 73?53%, 53?05%, 56?77%, 25?82% and 90?02% respectively. If G?17>7 pmol/L and PGR<7 was regarded as the cut?off value of diagnosis of gastric cancer, the sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value and negative predictive value were 25?00%, 91?29%, 79?23%, 38?93%and 84?56%respectively. If G?17>7 pmol/L and PGⅡ>10μg/L was regarded as the cut?off value, the sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value and negative predictive value were 48?04%, 79?74%, 73?98%, 34?51% and 87?35% respectively. If PGR<7 and PGⅡ>10 μg/L was regarded as the cut?off value, the sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value and negative predictive value were 33?82%, 84?86%, 75?58%, 33?17% and 85?23% respectively. Based on logistic regression analysis of the independent variables of high serum G?17 value(>7 pmol/L), low serum PGR value(<7) and high serum PGⅡvalue(>10 μg/L), their OR value were 2?592, 2?237 and 1?864 respectively, and high serum G?17 value showed the highest risk of gastric cancer. Conclusion High serum G?17 and PGⅡ, low PGR are indicators of gastric cancer. Combination of G?17 and PGR has the best diagnostic value for gastric cacer. Gastric cancer can be screened in large scale by combining G?17 and PGR in order to improve the early diagnostic rate of gastric cancer and reduce the mortality of gastric cancer in our country.

Objective To study the feasibility of diffusion tensor imaging(DTI) in assessment of lumbosacral neuropathy. Methods Eighteen patients with lumbosacral neuropathy (experimental group) and 20 healthy volunteers (control group) were enrolled prospectively in the neurological department by clinical symptoms and neuroelectrophysiology. The experimental group were divided into experimental subgroup A(demyelination group, 6 cases),subgroup B(axonal injury with demyelination group, 12 cases) based on electrophysiology.All of L4-SN nerves of the experiment group and the control group received DTI examination."Sowing points"as ROIs were placed in the proximal, middle and distal of bilateral L4-SN nerves by two experienced physicians.The average of the DTI parameters of 3 ROIs at each nerve were used as its final DTI parameters.Independent sample t test was used to evaluate the difference of the L4-SN DTI parameters between the experimental group and the control group.The differences of DTI parameters among the control group, the experimental subgroup A and the experimental subgroup B were compared by the nonparametric independent samples Kruskal-Wallis H test and the Nemenyi test. The ROC analysis was performed on the FA values and λ⊥values of the control and experimental groups.Results (1)The L4-SN FA values in the experimental group was significantly lower than those in the control group (t range from 4.11 to 6.36, P<0.05). The L4 and S1-SN ADC values of the experimental group were significantly higher than those of the control group (t range from - 4.77 to - 1.17, P<0.05). The L4-SN λ ⊥ values in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group (t range from -5.30 to -2.57,P< 0.05). (2) L4-SN FA values (H values ranged from 18.5 to 30.6, P<0.05), λ⊥ values (H values ranged from 6.8 to 29.2, P<0.05) and L4, S1-SN ADC values (H values ranged from 6.8 to 19.6, P<0.05) were significantly different among control group, experimental subgroup A and experimental subgroup B. Nemenyi test showed there were significant differences in FA values (H values ranged from 18.4 to 30.1,P<0.05) and λ⊥ values (H values ranged from 6.2 to 29.0, P<0.05)) of L4-SN and in ADC values (H values ranged from 6.4 to 19.54, P<0.05) of L4,S1-SN between control group and experimental subgroup B. (3) The analysis of ROC of the experimental group and control group showed the AUC values of L4-SN FA values were 0.834, 0.745, 0.860, 0.772, 0.811 respectively, the sensitivity were 66.7%, 72.2%, 77.8%, 83.3% and 66.7% respectively, and the specificity were 91.7%,69.4%,80.6%,61.1% and 88.9% respectively. The AUC values of L4-SN λ⊥ values were 0.796, 0.656, 0.791, 0.701, 0.843 respectively, and the sensitivity were 55.6%, 50.0%, 66.7%, 97.2% and 88.9% respectively,and the specificity were 91.7% , 77.85% , 86.1% , 36.1% and 66.7% respectively. Conclusion DTI has the feasibility to evaluate lumbosacral neuropathy and it can identify patients with axonal injury with demyelination and healthy subjects.
