AIM: To study the effect of CVB-D on contraction of guinea pig Oddi's sphincter in vitro. METHODS: Within the range from 1?10 -7 M to 3?10 -6 M, CVB-D's effects on the smooth muscle under the following conditions were observed: 1) the two phases of the Oddi's sphincter contractive curve caused by 80 mM K+ and 5?10 -6 M Ach; 2)together with verapamil, the contraction of Oddi's sphincter induced by 80 mM K+ and 5?10 -6 M Ach respectively. RESULTS: The relation between the amount of CVB-D and rapid contraction of desived inihibitory response was possessed of a dose-effect one, as well as ratio of plateau and peak of contractions, and slightly elevated contraction in continuous phase. CVB-D kept rapid phase peak value and plateau/peak value decreased markedly that expressed a dose-effect relationship. Contrary to CVB-D. Ach caused rapid, continuous phase and plateau/peak value to fall according as CVB-D decreased. Combination of verapamin and CVB-D led rapid phase peak value induced by KCl to lessen, but do not influence verapamin plateau used only and vanish plateau of rapid phase induced by Ach. CONCLUSION: CVB-D's effects on the contraction of Oddi's sphincter are related to the agonists and contractive phases, which reflect its effects on Ca 2+ channels.

Objective: To evaluate the pharmacodynamic of clematis. Methods: 1) The relaxation of isolated ileum muscle of guinea pig by clematic was tested. The antagonism of clematis on histamine or Ach induced ileum muscle contraction was tested also. 2) By using the model of turning of trunk, the pain releasing effect of clematis was evaluated. 3) The experiments about anti-inflammation action of clematis were carried out in two models. Results: Clematis relaxed the ileum muscle. It also antagonized the contraction of the muscle caused by histamine and Ach. A single intrapeditional administration of clematis to Kun-Ming mice significantly prolonged the latency and reduced the writhe number at the turning of trunk model; clematis dose-dependently inhibited the mouse ear swelling caused by xylol. It also had anti-inflammation effect at the other model. The results demonstrated that clematis could release the pain, suppress the inflammation and smooth muscle contraction.

Objective To evaluate the predictive value of ABCD3-I score for early stroke risk after transient ischemic attack (TIA). Methods A total of 136 consecutive patients with TIA admitted to the Department of Neurology,the First Hospital of Shangqiu from January 2010 to December 2012 were enrolled. The clinical data,medical history and image findings of the patients were collected. The incidence of stroke was observed within 90 days. The occurrence of stroke risk after TIA were scored with the ABCD2 and ABCD3-I. Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the impact of risk factors for early stroke after TIA. The area under the curve (AUC)of receiver operating characteristic was used to compare the predictive values of the two kinds of scores. Results Of the 136 eligible patients with TIA,19 cases (14. 0%)had cerebral infarction within 90 days after TIA. There were no death and hemorrhagic stroke. The results of multivariate regression analysis showed that the duration of TIA≥60 min (OR,1. 060,95%CI 1. 012-1. 112)was an independent risk factor for early progressing stroke after TIA (P<0. 05). In the ABCD2 scoring model for risk stratification of low-,moderate-,high-risk groups,the incidences of stroke within 90 days were 5. 6%(4/72),18. 5%(10/54),and 50. 0%(5/10),respectively. In the ABCD3-I score model for risk stratification of low-,moderate-,high-risk groups,the incidences of stroke within 90 days were 0,7. 1%(6/84),and 52. 0%(13/25),respectively. In the low-,moderate-,high-risk groups,there were significant differences in the incidences of stroke in 90 days between the ABCD3-I and ABCD2 scoring models (P<0.01). The AUC of ABCD3-I score (0. 839,95%CI 0. 766-0. 896)was higher than that of ABCD2 score (0.783,95%CI 0. 704-0. 849;P<0. 01). Conclusion The ABCD3-I score may effectively predict the risk of early stroke after TIA,and its accuracy is better than ABCD2 score.

Based on previous clinical and basic research on autohemotherapy,its effective mechanism was explored.Autohemotherapy was used as the keyword in the document retrieval of databases such as the Pubmed,CNKI,Wanfang,VIP,and etc.from 1990 to 2017.Previous clinical and basic research results of our team were also combined in the analysis of effective mechanism study on autohemotherapy in the treatment of acne.The results showed that autohemotherapy displayed the treatment effect of acne vulgaris through the regulation of Th1/Th2 immune deviation and micro ecological imbalance of local lesions,which may be one of the important ways in the treatment of acne vulgaris by autohemotherapy.It also reflected the regulation of Yin and Yang to reach the balance.It was concluded that in the future research,taking the effect of Th1/Th2 immune deviation and micro ecological imbalance of local lesions as the starting point,it will provide experimental basis for the effect of regulating Yin and Yang to reach the balance.It can provide certain scientific basis for its clinical application.

Objective: To establish a rapid GeXP-based multiplex reverse transcription-PCR assay (GeXP assay) for simultaneous detection of 5 subtypes of diarrheogenic Escherichia coli. Methods: Specific primers were designed according to reserved sequences of 12 virulence genes in enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC), enterinvasive E. coli (EIEC), enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC), enteroaggregative E. coli (EAEC) and enterohemorrhagic E. coli (ETEC), and PCR amplification was performed with a single pair of primers to validate the specificity of PCR assay with a single template and a single pair of primers. The specificity of the GeXP assay was evaluated with the genomic DNA of 5 subtypes of diarrheogenic E. coli as the template in a mixture of 12 pairs of primers, and the sensitivity of the GeXP assay was evaluated with the mixed suspensions of 5 subtypes of diarrheogenic E. coli at concentrations of 106, 105, 104 and 103 CFU/mL as the template. Foods purchased from supermarkets and agricultural retail markets were prepared into 34 spiked samples, and 5 subtypes of diarrheogenic E. coli were detected using the GeXP assay and compared with the fluorescent real-time multiple PCR assay. Results: The sizes of sth, pic, bfpB, astA, lt, escV, aggR, stx1, uidA, invE, stx2 and stp genes amplification products were consistent with expected sizes using a single template and a single pair of primers, with a fluorescent signal intensity of more than 25 000 A.U. The sizes of the GeXP assay amplification products of 12 virulence genes in 5 subtypes of diarrheogenic E. coli were consistent with expected sizes, with a high specificity. If the concentration of the mixed suspensions of 5 subtypes of diarrheogenic E. coli was 103 CFU/mL, the GeXP assay was effective for simultaneous detection of 12 virulence genes, with a high fluorescent signal intensity, consistent repeated detection results and a less than 10% coefficient of variation. The GeXP assay detected 3 ETEC isolates, 12 EAEC isolates, one EIEC isolate, one EPEC isolate and one EHEC isolate among the 34 spiked samples, which was in agreement with the detection of 5 subtypes of diarrheogenic E. coli with commercial fluorescent real-time multiple PCR assay kits. Conclusions A GeXP assay has been successfully established for simultaneous detection of 12 virulence genes in diarrheogenic E. coli, which is effective for clinical differential diagnosis and epidemiological surveys of diarrheogenic E. coli.

Objective: To investigate the contamination status and assess the potential consumption risk of Listeria monocytogenes ( L. monocytogenes ) in cooked meat products in bulk in Zhejiang Province, so as to provide strategy for food safety supervision and management. Methods: A total of 2 320 cooked meat products were sampled from eleven cities in Zhejiang Province during 2018-2020. The detection of L. monocytogenes was carried out in accordance with the national standard GB/T 4789.30-2016. Risk Ranger software was used for the semi-quantitative risk assessment on the whole population and pregnant women. Results: The total detection rate of L. monocytogenes in cooked meat products in bulk in Zhejiang Province was 2.97% ( 69/2 320 ). The detection rates in stewed, smoked/roasted, fried, dried products and others were 3.85%, 1.81%, 0.59%, 0% and 0.94%, which were significantly different ( P<0.05 ). There were 28 positive samples in 1 069 samples collected in 2020, with the concentration ranging from 5 to 590 CFU/g and averaging 6.8 CFU/g. The estimated number of listeriosis cases each year caused by consumption of cooked meat products in bulk was 131 in the whole population with a risk score of 42, and 1.44 in pregnant women with a risk score of 54. The risk coefficient could reduce to approximate zero after sufficient heating before intake. Conclusion The prevalence of L. monocytogenes in cooked meat products in bulk in Zhejiang Province during 2018-2020 poses a potential risk in food safety. Pregnant women should avoid eating.

Objective To review the diagnosis and treatment of basal cell carcinoma of the scrorum. Methods Clinical data of 7 patients with basal cell carcinoma of the scrotum were analyzed retrospectively. The mean age of the patients was 66 years. The most common presenting symptom was a plaque or nodular lesion with pruritis on the scrotum. The lesions ranged from 1.5 cm to 4.5 cm in diameter. Five of the 7 patients had a history of misdiagnosis. The diagnosis was established by biopsy of the lesion in all the patients. All of the 7 patients had no distant metastasis at the time of diagnosis and were treated by wide surgical resection.Results Histopathologic examination of the specimens confirmed the negative surgical margins in all cases.The most common histological feature was lobules, columns, bands and cords of basaloid cells associated with a surrounding loose fibromucinous stroma.One patient developed left inguinal lymph node metastasis at 21 months postoperatively,and was treated by bilateral inguinal lymph node dissection.The patient was free of cancer for 36 months after that. Another patient developed lung metastasis 48 months after the first operation.He was treated by systemic chemotherapy with cyclophosph amide, epirubicin and cisplatin for 6 cycles and obtained complete remission.This patient was free of cancer for 13 months after the chemotherapy.The remaining 5 patients were all free of cancer after the operation. Conclusions Basal cell carcinoma of the scrotum is rare.Wide surgical resection alone is usually considered to be curative. Because of its potential of metastasis, long-term followup is indicated for this disease.

ObjectiveTo discuss the relationships among spastic paralysis and motor function, balance function and other clinical variables after stroke.MethodsAssessed the clinical spastic index of hemiplegic lower limbs with CSI scale, motor function with Fugl-Meyer Assessment, and balance function with Berg Equilibrium Scale, respectively. And then analyzed the relationship between clinical spasm index with motor function, balance function of the hemiplegic lower limbs with Pearson correlation analysis. Finally, ascertained which was the most important factor affecting the clinical spasm index of spastic lower limbs with stepwise regression analysis.ResultsThere is negative correlation between clinical spasm index with motor function and balance function, respectively. Tendon reflex, muscular tension and clonus are the deciding factors to motor function(P<0.05) and balance function(P<0.05) of the hemiplegic lower limbs.ConclusionThe clinical spasm index of hemiplegic limbs can affect the recovery of motor function and balance function significantly. So, assessing and improving the clinical spasm index of paralytic lower limbs can optimize the rehabilitation program to stroke patients.

Objective: To observe the effects of electroacupuncture (EA) pretreatment on motor function, cerebral blood flow, cerebral infarction volume, and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) level in middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model rats. Methods: Twenty-four male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into a normal group, a model group, and an EA group, with eight rats in each group. The middle cerebral artery ischemia-reperfusion model was established by the suture-occluded method in the model group and the EA group, while not in the normal group. The EA group was pretreated with EA at bilateral Fengchi (GB20) before model preparation, once a day for 30 min each time for a total of 7 d. The changes in the CatWalk gait parameters, modified Bederson neurological deficit score, cerebral blood flow, cerebral infarction volume after ischemia, and VEGF level in the brain tissue of rats in each group were observed. Results: Compared with the normal group, the modified Bederson neurological deficit score in the model group and the EA group increased after modeling (P<0.05), and the CatWalk gait parameters (one-leg stance duration, gait cadence, and gait cycle) were all changed (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, the modified Bederson neurological deficit score in the EA group decreased (P<0.05), and the CatWalk gait parameters improved (P<0.05). Immediately after ischemia, the cerebral blood flow in the normal group was greater than that in the model group and the EA group (P<0.05); after reperfusion, the cerebral blood flow in the EA group was greater than that in the model group (P<0.05). Compared with the normal group, the cerebral infarction volume in the model group and the EA group increased (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, the cerebral infarction volume in the EA group decreased (P<0.05). The expression level of VEGF-positive cells in the rat brain tissue in the model group was higher than that in the normal group (P<0.05), and was higher in the EA group than in the model group (P<0.05). Conclusion: EA pretreatment improves the limb motor function in MCAO model rats, alleviates the symptoms of neurological deficits, promotes the recovery of cerebral blood flow, reduces the cerebral infarction area after MCAO modeling, and increases the VEGF expression in the brain tissue.

Objective To investigate the correlation between the blood type IgG antibody valence and the hemolytic disease of newborn (HDN) of the pregnancy women with maternal-fetal ABO blood type incompatibility. Methods 2137 pregnant women with blood type incompatibility who delivered in the obstetrical department of our hospital from September 2011 to February 2014 and their neonates were selected as the study subjects. The last serum IgG antibody valence equal to or greater than 64 served as the clinical standard. After birth, the neonates' HDN related indicators were examined. The correlation between pregnant women's blood type IgG antibody valence and HDN and the risk factors were analyzed. Results Of the 2137 pregnant women with ABO blood type incompatibility, 458 perinatal infants had hemolysis. As the pregnant women's IgG antibody valence increased, the incidence of HDN rose significantly;Pearson correlation analysis showed that the correlation coefficient was r=0.82. Univariate analysis found that increase of number of pregnancies, increase of age, poor childbearing history and other factors were independent risk factors of HDN. Conclusion Before birth, blood type examination of couples and fetuses should be enhanced, IgG antibody de-tection of pregnant women with maternal-fetal ABO blood type incompatibility should be conducted, the pregnant women with advanced age, multiple pregnancies and adverse pregnancy history should be monitored closely, and proper intervention should be implemented in order to avoid the occurrence of HDN.
