Chronic pain is a common clinical disease,which brings great burden to the patients.However,the pathogenesis underlying of chronic pain is complicated,which is affected by many factors,such as physiology,psychology and society.Therefore,the treatment of chronic pain has been a problem in clinical practice.Considering its complexity,a single way of treatment usually could not reach satisfactory results,so combination therapy is often used to treat chronic pain at present.The combination therapy includes pharmacological treatment,psychological approaches,interventional treatment,self management and so on.The treatment plans are distinct for different types of chronic pain,even the individual patients with the same kind of pain.The emergence of interdisciplinary rehabilitation programs shed light upon the treatment of chronic pain recent years.This paper reviewed the research on chronic pain treatment,in order to provide theoretical basis for clinical practice.

Objective To investigate the enterovirus ( EV)-carrying status and the circulating se-rotypes in healthy children from inner and border areas of Yunnan Province in 2014 and 2015 and to analyze the genetic characteristics of echovirus 6 (ECHO6), ECHO25 and ECHO11 strains. Methods Stool sam-ples were collected from children less than 15 years old living in 6 to 7 counties of 3 inner prefectures/cities and 8 to 9 counties of border prefectures/cities. Altogether 921 samples were collected including 453 sam-ples in 2014 (213 samples in inner counties and 240 samples in border counties) and 468 samples in 2015 (195 samples in inner counties and 273 samples in border counties). Viruses were isolated from the stool samples and their serotypes were identified by gene sequencing. Results The numbers of EV strains isola-ted from the samples collected in inner counties and border counties in 2014 were 20 ( isolating rate:9.39%, 20/213) and 16 (isolating rate: 6. 67%, 16/240), respectively. The overall isolating rate for 2014 was 7. 95% (36/453). The predominant species was enterovirus B, accounting for 88. 89% of all iso-lated strains (32/36), followed by enterovirus A species (11. 11%, 4/36). No strains of enterovirus spe-cies C (including poliovirus) and D was detected in 2014. In total, 46 EV strains were isolated in 2015 with an overall isolating rate of 9. 83% (46/468), including 13 strains in inner counties (isolating rate:6. 67%, 13/195) and 33 strains in border counties (isolating rate:12. 09%, 33/273). Most of the strains were enterovirus B species, accounting for 78. 26% (36/46), followed by enterovirus C species (19. 57%, 9/46) and enterovirus A species (2. 17%, 1/46). Altogether 82 EV strains were isolated in 2014 and 2015 with an isolating rate of 8. 90% (82/921), of which 33 strains were isolated in inner counties (8. 09%, 33/408) and 49 strains were isolated in border counties (9. 55%, 49/513). Among the 82 EV strains, 9 strains were polioviruses (0. 98%, 9/921) and all of them were Sabin-like polioviruses. The rest of the strains were non-polio enterovirus (7. 93%, 73/921). Conclusion In 2014, the EV isolating rate in inner counties (9. 39%) was higher than that in border counties (6. 67%). However, the EV isolating rate in border counties (12. 09%) was higher than that in inner counties (6. 67%) in 2015. Enterovirus B was the predominant species in both 2014 and 2015. No wild type polioviruses and enterovirus D species were detec-ted. Polio-free status was maintained well in Yunnan Province.

Objective To investigate the virus-carrying rate of non-polio enteroviruses ( NPEV) in patients with acute flaccid paralysis ( AFP) in Yunnan province of China in 2015 and to analyze the genetic characteristics of enterovirus 71 (EV71) strains. Methods A total of 213 cases under 15 years old with AFP were reported by Center for Disease Control and Prevention ( CDC) of Yunnan Province of China. Virus isolation was conducted for all samples and the serotypes of isolated NPEV strains were identified by VP1 se-quencing. The isolation rates of NPEV in the past consecutive 5 years were analyzed by SPSS22. 0 software. Phylogenetic trees of NPEV and EV71 strains were constructed by MEGA6. 06 software based on neighbor-joining algorithm and Kimura 2-parameter substitution model and the reliability of the phylogenetic trees was determined by bootstrap analysis with 100 pseudo replicate datasets. Results Altogether, 23 NPEV strains were isolated from 213 AFP cases. Among the 23 strains, 7 strains belonged to EV-A group (2 serotypes, 6 strains of which were EV71 ) , 14 strains belonged to EV-B group ( 8 serotypes ) and the other 2 strains belonged to EV-C group. No NPEV strains of EV-D group were identified. Statistical analysis showed that no significant differences in the isolation rates were observed in the past 5 years ( P=0. 101 ) . Conclusion The isolation rate of NPEV in patients with AFP in Yunnan province in 2015 was similar to that of the previ-ous years. The EV71 strains of C4 subgenotype were the predominant strains circulating in Yunnan province.

Objective:
In this study we analyzed the genetic characteristics of echovirus 30 (E-30) VP1 gene sequences from Yunnan province isolated from viral meningitis (VM) cases in 2010-2013.
Methods:
RT-PCR and VP1 gene sequencing were done for 9 E-30 strains isolated from VM cases in 2010-2013. VP1 gene sequences of E-30 reference strains were downloaded from the GenBank and their nucleotide (nt) and amino acid (aa) diversities were calculated by MEGA 5.1 software, the phylogenetic tree was constructed and the genetic characteristics and molecular epidemiology were analyzed.
Results:
In 2010-2013, 9 strains of E-30 viruses were detected from 79 VM cases caused by echoviruses, accounting for 11.39%(9/79), the overall positive rate was 1.63%(9/553). Phylogenetic analysis revealed that E-30 strains can be divided into four genotypes (genotype A, B, C and D), and genotype D can be further divided into seven sub-genotypes. Nine Yunnan VM isolates were distributed in D7 sub-genotype, and can be further clustered into 3 branches: 5 strains isolated in 2010 were clustered in branch 1, it is evident that these viruses were responsible for an aseptic meningitis outbreak in Kunming in that year; one 2011 isolate, together with 2013 isolate and one isolate from healthy children in 2010 were clustered in branch 2, these two branches were Yunnan special branches, and two 2011 isolates had the highest homology with 2003 VM outbreaks′ strains isolated from Shandong, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang, showing that these strains may have the same evolutionary sources.
Conclusions
Nine Yunnan VM isolates were distributed in D7 sub-genotype, and these strains have different evolutionary sources, showing that at different times E-30 viruses in the same sub-genotypes branch might prevail in different areas.

Objective:
To detect the enterovirus VP4 and VP1 genes in 510 stool samples collected from hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) cases and analyze the phylogenetic characteristics of the entire VP1 genes of coxsackievirus A6 (CV-A6) strains in six prefectures/cities of Yunnan Province in 2018.
Methods:
Viral RNA was abstracted from the stool samples. VP4 gene sequences were amplified by RT-PCR and sequenced using the MD91/OL68-1 primer pair to identify viral genotypes. Whole VP1 gene sequences were amplified and sequenced using appropriate primer pairs. The whole VP1 gene sequences of CV-A6 reference strains were downloaded from GenBank. MEGA5.2 software was used to analyze the similarity in nucleotide and amino acid sequences between different strains and phylogenetic tree was constructed for analysis of genetic characteristics and molecular epidemiology.
Results:
VP4 and VP1 gene sequences were obtained from 57 out of 510 stool samples with a positive rate of 11.17% (57/510). There were 43 CV-A6 (8.43%, 43/510), six CV-A10 (1.17%, 6/510), two enterovirus A71 (EV-A71, 0.39%, 2/510) and two CV-A9 (0.39%, 2/510) strains. The other four strains were CV-A4 (0.19%, 1/510), CV-A5 (0.19%, 1/510), CV-B1 (0.19%, 1/510) and E11 (0.19%, 1/510). The phylogenetic analysis showed that all 43 CV-A6 strains belonged to sub-genotype D3.
Conclusions
In the 510 HFMD samples, CV-A6 strains were mostly detected with a detection rate of 8.43% and accounted for 75.44% (43/57) of all isolates, followed by CV-A10 (1.17%, 6/510) and EV-A71 (0.39%, 2/510). There was a large HFMD outbreak mainly caused by CV-A6 in Yunnan Province in 2018. The outbreak was caused by CV-A6 of sub-genotype D3, as was the case with pervious outbreaks in China.

Objective To isolate and analyze the genetic characteristics of a new strain of entero-virus EV-C99 from a healthy child in Yunnan Province in 2016. Methods Virus isolation was performed ac-cording to the World Health Organization ( WHO) recommended procedures. Viral RNA was extracted from the supernatant of cell culture. RT-PCR and sequencing analysis of VP1 gene were used for virus identifica-tion. VP1 sequence was edited and stitched by Sequencher 5. 0 software. The edited sequence was BLAST searched in GenBank and the preliminary result indicated that it was an EV-C99 virus. Nucleotide (nt) and amino acid (aa) identities were calculated by MEGA5. 2 software. Serotype of the virus was identified ac-cording to the standard for enterovirus sequence typing. Results The virus could be amplified by 494/496 and 495/497 primer pairs and the edited sequence was about 1 200 bp. Result of the " BLAST" search showed that it was a new strain of enterovirus EV-C99. Comparative analysis with the prototype strain BAN00-10461 (GenBank ID:EF015008) by MEGA5. 2 software showed that the VP1 gene of that virus was 909 bp and the identities between them were 77. 05% in nt sequence and 90. 04% in aa sequence. According to the standard for enterovirus sequence typing,the virus was a new strain of enterovirus EV-C99 belonging to hu-man enterovirus species C (EV-C). Conclusion A new strain of enterovirus EV-C99 was isolated during an investigation of enteroviruses among healthy children in Yunnan Province in 2016. To our knowledge,this is the third report of EV-C99 in China. Phylogenetic analysis reveals that the EV-C99 Yunnan strain,Xinjiang strains and Shandong strains all belong to genotype B,but group into different clusters,indicating that Chinese strains have diverse genetic characteristics.

Objective To analyze the genetic characteristics of VP1 3'region of human coxsack-ievirus B2 (CV-B2) strains isolated from Yunnan province. Methods RT-PCR and gene sequencing were performed to analyze the VP1 3'region of 15 CV-B2 strains isolated from acute flaccid paralysis ( AFP) cases during 2005 to 2006, healthy children in 2013 and hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) cases in 2014 in Yunnan province. CV-B2 VP1 gene reference sequences were downloaded from the Genbank. Nucleotide (nt) and amino acid (aa) diversities were calculated by MEGA5. 2 software and a phylogenetic tree was constructed. Genetic and molecular epidemiological characteristics of CV-B2 strains circulating in Yunnan province were analyzed. Results A total of 15 CV-B2 strains were isolated, which were one from 232 AFP cases in 2005, one from 240 AFP cases in 2006, 12 from 400 healthy children in 2013 and one from 500 HFMD cases in 2014. Phylogenetic analysis of the 15 CV-B2 strains in Yunnan province and those down-loaded from the GenBank showed that CV-B2 could be genetically divided into five genotypes. The prototype strain Ohio-1 and one strain (01-1) isolated in Taiwan in 1988 belonged to genotype 1. Strains isolated in France in 2006, 2007 and 2010 belonged to genotype 2. Strains isolated in Yunnan, Shandong, Henan, Fu-jian and Taiwan belonged to genotype 3. Strains isolated in Russia, Yunnan AFP cases in 2005 and 2006 and India belonged to genotype 4. Strains isolated in Taiwan, Shandong and New South Wales, Australia be-longed to genotype 5. Different genotypes distributed in different countries/areas with some confined within specific countries/areas. Conclusions The 12 strains isolated from healthy children and one from HFMD cases in Yunnan province belonged to genotype 3, while the two strains isolated from AFP cases belonged to genotype 4. Diversities in nt and aa sequences between the strains isolated from the healthy children and HFMD case were only 0. 76% and 0. 03%, respectively, indicating that they might come from the same transmission source. However, the nt and aa diversities between the isolates of genotype 3 ( from healthy children and HFMD case) and genotype 4 (from AFP cases in 2005 and 2006) were 15. 11%-15. 22% and 2. 76%-2. 72%, respectively. Correlation of CV-B2 with AFP and HFMD was worthy of further study.

Objective:To analyze the etiology of hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) cases collected from Wenshan prefecture from 2014 to 2018 and the molecular epidemiology of coxsackievirus A6(CV-A6).Methods:Viruses were isolated by RD cells and Hep-2 cells from stool samples collected from HFMD patients in Wenshan prefecture from 2014 to 2018. Virus RNA was extracted and virus VP4/VP2 junction region sequence was firstly amplified and sequenced by MD91 and OL68-1 primer pairs, then the virus serotype was determined. Virus entire VP1 gene sequences were determined by relative primer pairs according to the references. The reference sequences of CV-A6 virus entire VP1 gene were downloaded from the GenBank and the phylogenetic tree was constructed and the genetic characteristics and molecular epidemiology were analyzed.Results:During five years of study period, a total of 581 strains of enteroviruses (EVs) was isolated with an isolation rate of 20.40% (581/2 848). Among 581 strains, 74 strains were CV-A6, accounting for 12.74% (74/581); 124 were CV-A16, accounting for 21.34% (124/581); 374 were EV-A71, accounting for 64.37% (374/581); nine were other EVs, accounting for 1.55% (9/581). The entire VP1 sequences of 74 CV-A6 strains were filtered by constructing a phylogenetic tree and the completely same strains were excluded from analysis. We finally analyzed the phylogenetic characteristics of 22 strains isolated in this study with 52 reference strains. The results showed that all 22 Wenshan strains belonged to D3a sub-genotype, of which 21 strains belonged to cluster 1, and only one strain belonged to cluster 2.Conclusions:From 2014 to 2018, the outbreaks of HFMD in Wenshan prefecture were mainly caused by EV-A71, CV-A16 and CV-A6, accounting for 64.37%, 21.34% and 12.74% respectively. Phylogenetic analysis showed, similar to the situation in China, the sub-genotype D3a of CV-A6 was the predominant virus and the cluster 1 was the main sub-genotype in this outbreak.
