Objective To investigate the role of spinal hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated (HCN) channels in dexmedetomidine-produced antinociceptic effect.Methods In vivo experiment Thirty wild type C57BL/6J mice and 30 HCN1 gene knockout (HCN1-/-) mice, aged 2-3 months, weighing 19-25 g, were randomly divided into 5 groups (n=6 each) using a random number table: control group (group C), and dexmedetomidine 10, 20, 30 and 40 μg/kg groups (Dex10, Dex20,Dex30 and Dex40 groups).In Dex10, Dex20, Dex30 and Dex40 groups, dexmedetomidine 10, 20, 30 and 40 μg/kg were intraperitoneally injected, respectively.The equal volume of normal saline was given in group C.Before dexmedetomidine administration, and at 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90, 105 and 120 min after dexmedetomidine administration, tail flick latency to a thermal nociceptive stimulus was measured, and the percentage of the maximum possible effect (MPE％) was calculated.In vitro experiment HCN1 and HCN2 plasmids and green fluorescent plasmids were transfected into HEK293 cells with liposome 2000.At 24-48 h after transfection, HCN1 and HCN2 channel currents were recorded using whole-cell patch clamp technique.HCN channel currents were recorded as baseline value after rupture of membrane.HEK293 cells were perfused with the extracellular fluid containing different concentrations of dexmedetomidine (0.1, 1.0 or 10.0 μmol/L).After the cells were perfused with dexmedetomidine 0.1 μmol/L for 5 min, HCN currents were recorded.The inhibition rate of currents were calculated.After washout, HCN currents were recorded after the cells were perfused with the next concentration for 5 min.The half-maximal activation voltage (V1/2) of HCN channels and the curve slope were recorded.The difference in V1/2 before and after administration (△V1/2) were calculated.Results Compared with group C, MPE％ was significantly increased in Dex10 group-Dex40 group of wild type and HCN1-/-mice (P＜0.05).Compared with Dex30 and Dex40 groups of wild type mice, MPE％ was significantly decreased in Dex30 and Dex40 groups of HCN1-/-mice (P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in MPE％ between Dex10 group and Dex20 group of wild type and HCN1-/-mice (P＞0.05).Compared with the baseline value, the currents and V1/2 of HCN1 and HCN2 channels in HEK293 cells were significantly decreased when the cells were perfused with dexmedetomidine 0.1, 1.0 and 10.0 μmol/L (P＜0.05).Compared with the value when the cells were perfused with dexmedetomidine 0.1 μmol/L, the currents and V1/2 of HCN1 and HCN2 channels in HEK293 cells were significantly decreased, and inhibition rate of currents and △ V1/2were increased when perfused with dexmedetomidine 1.0 and 10.0 μmol/L (P＜0.05).Compared with the value when the cells were perfused with dexmedetomidine 1.0 μmol/L, the currents and V1/2 of HCN1 and HCN2 channels in HEK293 cells were significantly decreased, and inhibition rate of currents and △ V1/2were increased when perfused with dexmedetomidine 10.0 μmol/L (P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in the activation curve slope of HCN1 and HCN2 channel currents in HEK293 cells when the cells were perfused with dexmedetomidine 0.1, 1.0 and 10.0 μmol/L (P＞0.05).Conclusion Dexmedetomidine-produced antinociceptic effect is likely related to the inhibition of spinal HCN channel opening.

Purpose: To investigate the pathogenesis and clinical treatment of pulmonary inflammatory pseudotumor (PIP). Methods:To analyze the pathogenic characteristics and X-ray findings of 18 cases of PIP. Results:The rate of incidence in PIP is increasing in recent years .70 percent of the patients have infection of the respiratory system and is related to the abuse of large doses of antibiotics, there is little specificity in X-ray or CT so it is easy to confuse with malignant tumor of the lung .In pathologic sections of PIP, no malignant changes were seen, and only inflammatory cells, lymphocytes and plasm cells could be seen by light microscope. Conclusions:The antibiotic must be used properly in infection of the respiratory system and surgical treatment can be done in some asses to exclude tumor of the lung in diagnosis.

Objective: To explore the relationship between thyroid hormone levels and prolonged recovery after cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in congenital heart disease (CHD) children younger than 1 year of age. Methods: A total of 186 CHD children younger than 1 year treated in our hospital from 2014-01 to 2015-01 were retrospectively summarized. According to the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) stay time, the patients were divided into 2 groups: Prolonged recovery group, the patients stated in PICU≥5 days,n=39 and Non-prolonged recovery group, the patients stayed in PICU<5 days,n=147. Thyroid hormone levels within 24 hours of operation with prolonged recovery conditions were studied. Results: Compared with Non-prolonged recovery group, the patients in Prolonged recovery group showed decreased levels of FT3 (2.02 ± 0.48) pg/ml vs (2.27 ± 0.46) pg/ml, TT3 (0.59 ± 0.30) ng/dl vs (0.71 ± 0.24) ng/dl and TT4 (5.39 ± 2.58)μg/ml vs (6.49 ± 2.20) μg/ml, allP<0.05; while the levels of free thyroid hormone and thyrotropin were similar between 2 groups,P>0.05. Multivariable logistical regression analysis presented that low level of FT3 within 24 hours of operation was the independent risk factor for prolonged recovery (OR= 0.32, 95% CI 0.12-0.84,P=0.02); linear regression analysis indicated that post-operative reduction of thyroid hormone was related to low body weight of the patients (r=0.11,P<0.001). Conclusion: Lower body weight was usually having lower level of FT3 within 24 hours of operation, which was the independent predictor for prolonged recovery in CHD children younger than 1 year after cardiac surgery.

Objective To evaluate the effects of docosahexaenoic acid ( DHA) on the expression of angiotensin?2 ( Ang?2) and vascular endothelial growth factor ( VEGF) in rat brain microvascular endo?thelial cells (BMVECs) subjected to oxygen?glucose deprivation (OGD). Methods Primarily cultured rat BMVECs were divided into 3 groups ( n=18 each) using a random number table: control group ( group C) , OGD group and DHA group. The cells were cultured with glucose?free and serum?free DMEM culture medium in OGD and DHA groups. In group DHA, DHA 40μmol was added, and then the cells were ex?posed to 1%O2?5%CO2?94%N2 in an air?tight incubator. The cells were cultured in the normal glucose and normal oxygen conditions in group C. All the cells were cultured for 24 h. Cell apoptosis was detected using Annexin V∕propidium iodide flow cytometry assay, and the apoptosis rate was calculated. The concentra?tions of Ang?2, VEGF, prostaglandin E2 ( PGE2 ) and prostacyclin ( PGI2 ) in the supernatant of the cul?ture medium were determined by enzyme?linked immunosorbent assay. The expression of Ang?2 mRNA and VEGF mRNA in cells was detected by real?time polymerase chain reaction. The expression of cyclooxygen?ase?2 ( COX?2) protein in cells was detected by Western blot. Results Compared with group C, the ap?
optosis rate and concentrations of Ang?2, VEGF, PGE2 and PGI2 in the supernatant were significantly in?creased, and the expression of Ang?2 mRNA, VEGF mRNA and COX?2 protein was significantly up?regu?lated in OGD and DHA groups (P<0.05). Compared with group OGD, the apoptosis rate and concentra?tions of Ang?2, VEGF, PGE2 and PGI2 in the supernatant were significantly decreased, and the expression of Ang?2 mRNA, VEGF mRNA and COX?2 protein was significantly down?regulated in group DHA ( P<0.05) . Conclusion DHA can inhibit the expression of Ang?2 and VEGF in rat brain BMVECs subjected to OGD and reduce cell apoptosis, and down?regulated expression of COX?2 protein is involved in the mecha?nism.
