Objective To investigate the analgesic effect and motor block of ropivacayin combined dezocine in lower abodiminal operation.Methods Sixty patients of ASA Ⅰ - Ⅱ were divided into three groups randomly(n =20 for each group).They were treated with dezocine 5 mg +0.125％ ropivacayin/100 ml( group DI ),dezocine 5 mg +0.175％ ropivacayin/100 ml( group D2),dezocine 5 mg +0.225％ ropivacayin/100 ml (group D3 ).The initial dose was 5 ml,and the maintenance dose was 2 ml/h,with lock-out time of 20 mins,and the duration of patient-controlled epidermal analgesia (PCEA) was 48 h.The analgesic effect was evaluted by VAS score at 2,4,12,24 and 48 h after surgery.Bromage score and the side effects such as motor ability,and vomiting after surgery were recorded.Results At 2,4,12 h after surgery,the VAS scores of group D2 and D3 were less than that of group D1 (2.54 ± 1.34,2.47 ± 1.05 and 3.62 ± 1.02 at 2 hrs,2.13 ± 1.30,2.15 ± 1.28 and 3.56 ± 1.10 at 4 hrs,1.03 ± 0.43,1.04 ± 0.51 and 1.92 ± 1.20 at 12 hrs,respectively) ( Ps ＜ 0.05 ).As for the Bromage score among the 3 groups,there were no sighificant diffrences between group D1 and D2,wheras they were significantly lower than that in group D3 ( 1.21 ± 0.21,1.28 ±0.22 and 1.53 ± 0.31 at 2 hrs,1.15 ± 0.15,1.44 ± 0.25 and 1.61 ± 0.12 at 4 hrs,0.92 ± 0.14,0.99 ± 0.13 and 1.71 ± 0.22 at 12 hrs,0.85 ± 0.11,0.88±0.14 and (1.66±0.15) at 24 hrs,0.42 ± 0.10,0.55 ± 0.09 and 1.19±0.11 at 48 hrs,respectively,Ps ＜0.05).There were 2,2 and 3 patients affected with nausea and vomiting among the 3 groups,and there were no other side effects ( P ＞ 0.05 ).Conclusion 0.175％ ropivacayin combined with dezocine 5 mg via PCEA in lower abodiminal operation shows better analgesic effect and benefical to the restoration of lower limbs movements.

The aging process of human colonic epithelium involves a slow decline in physiological vigor and an increasing susceptibility to age-related diseases, especially, colon cancer, but the molecular mechanisms of the aging and susceptibility of aged colonic epithelium to carcinogenesis is still unclear. Identification of aging related proteins in colonic epithelium will help to reveal the molecular mechanisms of colonic epithelial aging and age-related colonic diseases. Therefore, the total proteins of human normal colonic epithelial tissues from 10 young and 10 old men were separated by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis(2-DE), respectively. PDQuest software was applied to analyze 2-DE images, the differentially expressed protein spots of colonic epithelium between young and old groups were identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry(MALDI-TOF-MS), and the expression levels of partial identified proteins were determined by real-time quantitative PCR and immunohistochemistry. Well-resolved, reproducible 2-DE maps of human colonic epithelial tissues from young and old men were established, 17 aging related proteins were identified by MALDI-TOF-MS, and the differential expression levels of partial identified proteins were confirmed by real-time quantitative PCR and immunohistochemistry. The results indicate that injury of mitochondrial function and decline of antioxidant capability are important reasons for the aging of human colonic epithelium, and four differential proteins (guanine nucleotide-binding protein beta subunit-like protein, stress-70 protein, 40 S ribosomal protein SA and chloride intracellular channel protein1) may be involved in susceptibility of aged colonic epithelium to carcinogenesis.

To search for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) biomarkers,laser capture microdissection (LCM) was used to purify the target cells from NPC and normal nasopharyngeal epithelial tissues (NNET). Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) was performed to separate the total proteins of microdissected NPC and NNEC,PDQuest software was applied to analyze 2-DE images,and the differential protein spots between the two types of tissues were identified by both MALDI-TOF-MS and ESI-Q-TOF-MS. The expression of cytokeratin 8(CK8),one of the differential proteins,in the microdissected NPC and NNEC as well as 4 NPC cell lines with different differentiated degrees and/or metastatic potentials was detected by Western blot. Immunohistochemistry was also used to detect the expression of CK8 in paraffin-embedded tissues including 63 cases of primary NPC,28 cases of NNET and 20 cases of cervical lymphonode metastasis. In the present study,2-DE patterns of microdissected NPC and NNEC were established,and 29 differential proteins in the above two tissues were identified,of which 15 only expressed or up-regulated in NPC and 14 only expressed or up-regulated in NNET. The expression level of differential protein CK8 between the NPC and NNET was selectively confirmed,and was found to be related to the differentiation and/or metastasis of NPC cell lines. Significant down-regulation of CK8 was observed in NPC compared with NNET,and significant up-regulation of CK8 was also observed in lymphonode metastasis compared with primary NPC. The data suggest that CK8 may be related to the differentiation and lymphonode metastasis of NPC,and may serve as molecular biomarkers for metastasis and differentiation of NPC.

Background: Zhongyi paste is a traditional Chinese medicine herbal paste that is externally applied to reduce inflammation and relieve pain. Methods: An acute foot swelling inflammation model in C57BL/6J mice was established by carrageenan-induced pathogenesis. Zhongyi paste raised the pain threshold and also reduced the degree of swelling in mice with carrageenan-induced foot swelling. Results: Analysis indicated that serum tumor necrosis factor-alpha, interleukin-1 beta, and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) cytokine levels and PGE2levels in the paw tissue of the mice were decreased by Zhongyi paste treatment. The quantitative polymerase chain reaction and western blot results showed that Zhongyi paste downregulated the mRNA and protein expression of extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2), and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), and also downregulated the mRNA expression of PGE2 . At the same time, the Zhongyi paste exerted a stronger effect as an external drug than that of indomethacin, which is an oral drug, and voltaren, which is an externally applied drug. Conclusions Our results indicated that Zhongyi paste is a very effective drug to reduce inflammatory swelling of the foot, and its mechanism of action is related to regulation of the ERK1/2–COX-2–PGE2 pathway.

OBJECTIVE: To establish the protein expression map of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), and provide a basis for proteomic study of NPC. METHODS: Laser capture microdissection (LCM) was used to isolate cancer cells from NPC tissues. Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis(2-DE) was used to separate the total proteins of LCM purified NPC cells. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight-mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) was performed to identify the proteins, and bioinformatics was used to construct the 2-DE database of NPC proteome. RESULTS: A 2-DE reference map of NPC was established. On the 2-DE map, a total of (1 312+/-30) protein spots were detected, and 427 protein spots representing 241 non-redundant proteins were identified. The 2-DE database of NPC proteome was constructed. These data could be accessed at our website (http://www.xyproteomics.org). CONCLUSION A protein expression profile of LCM purified NPC tissues has been established for the first time, which provides useful information and source for proteomic study of NPC.
