Objective To investigate the effect of HgCl2 and drugs on the expression of calcitonin gene related peptide(CGRP) in the spinal cord and dorsal root ganglion(DRG).Methods Forty male SD rats(180-220 g) were randomly divided into 7 groups,5 in each treated group,10 in the control.Group A(high HgCl2),B(high HgCl2 +DMPS),C(high HgCl2+DMPS+ carbamzepine) were administrated with HgCl2 at the dose of 17 mg/kg(1/4 LD50),group D(low HgCl2),E(low HgCl2+DMPS),F(low HgCl2+NS) at the dose of 8.5 mg/kg(1/8 LD50),by gavage,once a day,the control group treated with normal saline(NS) in the same way.The sub-acute mercury poisoning models were developed within 18-22 days.Then five rats of control group and group A and D were killed and group B and E were treated with the chelator(DMPS) by intraperitoneal injection at the dose of 28 mg/kg for 2 periods.Group C was given DMPS+ carbamzepine and group F was given NS only.The carbamzepine was used at the dose of 16.82 mg/kg by gavage daily for 14 days.The spinal cord(L5-6) and the DRG of L5 and L6 were collected after the treatment finished.The immunohistochemistry SABC way was used to detect CGRP.Results The CGRP level in spinal cord and DRG of the rats exposed to HgCl2 increased significantly compared with the control group(P

Objective To study the adverse effect of mercury on the tibial nerves of rats. Methods Seventy SD rats (35 females, 35 males, weighed 160-200 g) were randomly divided into 4 groups. 40 rats in group 1 were used to test the acute toxicity of HgCl2, 10 rats in group 2 were given HgCl2 by gavage at 17 mg/kg(1/4 LD50) daily, in group 3 the dose was 8.5 mg/kg(1/8 LD50), 10 rats in group 4 were treated with 0.9% saline 2 ml by gavage daily, the experimental duration was (20?4) days. When the model had been developed, all the male rats were killed and the female rats in group 2 and 3 were given the chelator(DMPS) by intraperitoneal injection at 28 mg/kg for 2 periods of treatment, then were killed and the tibial nerves were examined with the electronic microscope. Results The oral LD50 of HgCl2 was 68.1 mg/kg. Seven rats in group 2 (7/10) were poisoned and two of them got pain manifestation. Six rats in group 3(6/10) were poisoned. Myelinoclasis and the changed axons were found in the tibial nerves of poisoned rats and it was more serious in the rats with pain. The chelator(DMPS) did not relieve the change. Conclusion Sub-acute poisoning of HgCl2 can induce degeneration of tibial nerves in SD rats .

Objective To analyze cancer incidence and mortality in Fujian in 2012 and to provide sci-entific basis for tumor prevention .Methods In accordance with the methods and criteria of data quality control made by NCCR,7 regristries data qualified from 9 submitted regritries in Fujian after data assessment were mer-ged and analyzed.Results In 2012,the cancer incidence rate was 251.44/105 (308.44/105 in male and 193.03/105 in female),age standardized incidence by Chinese standard population (ASR China)and by world standard population(ASR world)were 205.15/105 and 201.11/105.The cumulative incidence(0~74 age)was 23.51%.The mortality rate was 161.85/105(220.87/105 in male and 101.37/105 in female).ASR China and ASR world were 128.54/105 and 127.70/105 the cumulative incidence(0~74 age)was 15.04%.The age-spe-cific incidence and mortality reached maximum value in 75 ages and 80 ages respectively .The top 5 cancer inci-dences were lung cancer ,stomach cancer ,liver cancer ,esophagus cancer and breast cancer .The top 5 cancer mor-tality were lung cancer ,liver cancer ,stomach cancer ,esophagus cancer and colorectum cancer .Conclusion Di-gestive malignancies ,lung cancer ,and breast cancer in female were the most frequent in Fujian province ,and the prevention and control for those cancers should be enhanced .

Objective To observe the anatomical constant sign of the parapharyngeal space operation via endoscopy-assisted transoral approach,and provide evidence for the treatment of the lesions of the pharyngeal space and improve the success rate of the operation. Methods CT multi plane reconstruction and three dimensional reconstruction were performed on 10 fresh dead bodies who were acquired from January 2015 to September 2015,the structure of the lateral pharyngeal space was observed,and the parapharyngeal space operation was performed via endoscopy-assisted transoral approach.Results The CT images showed that dispharynx of very low density extended posterior-lateral into the pharyngeal recess,lateral pharyngeal space located in the lateral pharyngeal recess,a low density triangular shadow with a nar-row of the front and width in the back,wing within muscles,wing outside muscles,masseter and temporal muscle located in the lateral pharyn-geal side clearance,which showed a medium density shadow,styloid process located in the front shadow of pharynx side clearance,the back of the internal carotid artery of pharynx side clearance,which showed medium density shadow.The blood vessels in the pharyngeal space and the nerve development was not clear.Stem styloid located in the temporal bone of the skull base drum subordinates,with length of (24.98 ± 2.01)mm,the internal structures of parapharyngeal space located in styloid process and around the surface of the deep muscular,the outside of styloid process had external carotid artery,facial nerve and mastoid.Inside of the base of styloid process had jugular vein foramen and hypo-glossal canal outside hole,the front inner side had carotid canal outside hole,the foramen spinosum,and oval foramen,the rear with stem hole.The distance between left and right side of root of styloid process to adjacent structures was compared,and the difference had no statisti-cal significance(P >0.05).In addition to the root of the styloid process to stylomastoid foramen.The difference of root of styloid process of males to adjacent structure was greater than that of the females,the difference had statistical significance(P <0.05).Conclusion Endo-scopic-assisted transoral approach to the parapharyngeal space operation hasthe styloid process as the marks of anatomy,the distance of styloid process to adjacent anatomical structures is as the reference,which helps to find and identify the parapharyngeal space of peripheral nerve, blood vessel,etc.
