AIM: To compare the blocking effect of ropivacaine and bupivacaine on sodium channels of rat dosal root ganglia(DRG) using whole cell recording technique. METHODS: Rat DRG neurons were enzymatically isolated , tetrodotoxin-sensitive(TTX-s) and tetrodotoxin-resistant (TTX-r) sodium currents of DRG were recorded by whole cell recording.Drugs were given in bath solution.The concentrations of ropivacaine were 10,30,100, 1 000 ?mol?L~ -1 and bupivacaine were 10,30,100,300 ?mol?L~ -1 . The recording number in each dose group was six. RESULTS: CsCl in extracellular fluid and TEA in intracellular fluid were used to block the potassium channels. Sodium currents were recorded when the holding potential was - 70 mV and a serials of pulse with step 10 mV and duration 70 ms was given.TTX-s sodium channel was recorded in 80.1 % large DRG cells and TTX-r sodium channel was recorded in 92.4 % medium and small DRG cells,of which 56.3 % cells had no response to 1 ?mol?L~ -1 TTX. The half-maximal blocking concentrations of ropivacaine on TTX-r sodium channel was 65.7 ? 6.1 ?mol?L~ -1 , which was much lower than that on TTX-s sodium channel 246.8 ? 11.2 ?mol?L~ -1 (P 0.05 ). CONCLUSION: Ropivacaine preferentially blocks TTX-r sodium channel.Selective blocking of TTX-r and TTX-s sodium channel was one of the reasons of seperation of sensation and motion when it is used in epidural anesthesia.

Objective:To examine the correlations of microRNA-34c(miR-34c) expression in the peripheral blood with the onset of diabetic foot ulcer(DFU)and diabetic foot osteomyelitis(DFO)in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM).Methods:Sixty newly-diagnosed T2DM patients without DFU(T2DM group), 112 T2DM patients with DFU(DFU group), and 60 healthy controls with normal glucose tolerance(NC group)were included. The 112 T2DM patients with DFU were further divided into DFO( n=64)and NDFO( n=48)groups. The levels of miR-34c were determined by quantitative real-time PCR, while clinical features and risk factors of DFU and DFO were explored. Results:A significant increase in the expression level of miR-34c in peripheral blood was observed in T2DM group compared with NC group[2.99(1.45-6.22) vs 1.01(0.89-1.52), P<0.05], and a markedly increased miR-34c expression level was noted in DFU group compared with T2DM group [9.65(6.15-18.63) vs 2.99(1.45-6.22), P<0.01]. Additionally, the expression level of miR-34c in peripheral blood significantly increased in DFO group compared to NDFO group [13.46(8.89-19.11) vs 6.02(5.93-14.72), P<0.01]. Moreover, there was a positive correlation between the expression level of miR-34c in peripheral blood and the amputation rate in patients in DFU group( P=0.030), and a negative correlation in the expression level of miR-34c( P=0.025)with healing rate of DFU after eight weeks. The multivariate logistic regression analysis confirmed that a high expression of miR-34c was an independent risk factor for DFU and DFO( OR=3.52, 4.13; both P<0.01). Conclusion:An increased expression of miR-34c in peripheral blood of T2DM patients might be closely related to the occurrence, development, and prognosis of DFU and DFO.

Objective To investigate the correlation of CT features and pathological characteristics with epidermal growth factor receptor(EGFR)gene mutations in invasive peripheral pulmonary adenocarcinoma.Methods The amplification refractory mutation system was used to determine EGFR mutations in 1 9 3 surgically resected invasive peripheral pulmonary adenocarcinomas.CT features and pathological characteristics were analyzed retrospectively.Results The total EGFR mutation rate was 62.2% (120/193).Among the features on CT,the maximum tumor diameter (Dmax)in axial plane CT images was significantly smaller in patients with EGFR mutations than that with wild-type EGFR patients [(2.52 ± 1.01)cm vs (3.11 ± 1.34)cm,P<0.05].Receiver operating characteristic (ROC)results indicated that Dmax=2.01 cm was the diagnosis threshold in forecasting EGFR gene mutations,with the sensitivity and specificity of 79% and 64%,respectively.The frequency of EGFR mutations was significantly greater in tumors with ground-glass opacity(GGO)than that without GGO (78.0% vs 56.6%,P<0.05),and in tumors without cystic airspaces than that with cystic airspaces (65.5% vs 40.0%,P<0.05).No correlations were observed between EGFR mutations and other CT features,including GGO/tumor ratio(G/T),lobulation,spiculation,pleural retraction,vascular convergence,air bronchograms,and vacuole signs (P>0.05).Among pathological characteristics,compared with other subtypes,EGFR mutations occurred most frequently in lepidic predominant adeno-carcinomas (77.5% vs 58.2% in other subtypes,P<0.05),and the least frequently in solid predominant adenocarcinomas(26.3%vs 66.1% in other subtypes,P<0.05).The EGFR mutation rate was significantly higher in tumors without lymph node metastases than that with lymph node metastases (66.9%vs 50.9%,P<0.05).Conclusion The CT features and pathological characteristics may be useful indicators to predict EGFR mutation status in invasive peripheral pulmonary adenocarcinoma.
