1.Behavioral comparation on withdrawal syndromes in morphine dependent rats
Chinese Journal of Behavioral Medicine and Brain Science 2001;10(1):11-12
Objective To investigate the the effect and interaction of morphine dependence model and naloxone doses on withdrawal intensity. Methods To observe the withdrawal signs and weight loss in two kinds of morphine dependent rats after the precipitating by naloxone of different doses an devaluate the withdrawal intensity.Results Morphine dependence were successfully induced in two ways.There was no significant difference of withdrawal intensity in five-day model(total morphine dose 380mg.kg-1) after precipitating by naloxone of 2mg.kg-1 and 4mg.kg-1(P>0.05). Withdrawal intensity of twelve-day model(total morphine dose 1365mg.kg-1)increased significantly with the increase of naloxone dose(P<0.01),but it was more intensive significantly than five-day model only after 4mg.kg-1 dose of naloxone. Conclusion Appropriate method should be used to induce morphine dependence and these experimental factors should be combined in assessment of withdrawal intensity.

Objective To investigate the metabolic rules of surfactant protein A and D(SP- A,SP- D )in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(BALF)in human fetal lungs during gestational ages. Methods BALF with 30 mL saline was performed on clinically collected human fetus with induction of labor by water- bag Their BALF was respectively retrieved [total retrieval rate(85. 6% ? 13 1)% ]for analysis of protein content. The BALF SP - A and SP - D from fetus of various gestational ages or newboms were detected by RPHA and ELISA. Results The total protein in BALF gradually increased since 10th week to newborn peak during lung development. And SP - A and SP D were respectively updated from(0.34 ?0.07 ) ,(0.05?0.01) ng/L to newborn climax[ (6 42 ? 0 36),(1.22 ? 0 13)ng/L] .Conclusions The protein in BALF gradually increases with fetal growth and lung development. SP-A and SP- D may reach prenatal climax and become the main indicator of newborn lung maturity.

Objective To assess the relationship between GABA_(B) receptor in medulla and trigeminal neuralgia on rats. Methods Twelve SD rats were randomly divided into 4 groups,3 for each group.Group A and B were surgical groups,while Group C and D were sham surgical ones.In the surgical group,right unilateral chronical constriction injury(CCI) of rats was produced by placing loose chromic gut ligature around the infraorbital nerve(ION).In the sham surgical group,the ION was only exposed using the same procedure but not ligated.Mechanical response threshold was observed before operation and 3,6,9,12 and 15 days after operation.Medullas of rats in group A and B were taken to measure the quantity of GABA_(B) receptor by real-time PCR 9 days after operation,and medullas of rats in group C and D were done 15 days after operation. Results Compared with the sham surgical group,an allodynia to mechanical stimulation on the territory of ligated ION was found from the ninth to fifteenth day after operation in surgical group(P

Objective To study the synthesis and degradation of collagen at the transcription level during liver fibrosis in rabbits with schistosomiasis japonica. Methods New Zealand rabbits infected with Schistosoma japonicum cercariae were served as animal models of liver fibrosis. The liver specimens were collected through operations at 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 20, 24 and 28 weeks after infection. TypeⅠcollagen, type Ⅲ collagen, type Ⅳ collagen, MMP\|1 and MMP\|9 mRNA levels of liver tissue were detected by RT\|PCR plus dot blotting, and the size of egg granulomas and the degree of liver fibrosis were measured by histopathological examinations. Results TypeⅠcollagen, type Ⅲ collagen, type Ⅳ collagen, MMP\|1 and MMP\|9 mRNA levels increased simultaneously in the early stage after the infection, mostly reaching their peaks at 10 weeks after infection. Compared with normal controls, type Ⅰ collagen, type Ⅲ collagen, type Ⅳ collagen, MMP\|1 and MMP\|9 mRNA levels increased by 12\^0 , 11\^0 , 6\^6 , 10\^0 and 11\^0\|fold, respectively, coinciding with the changes of egg granulomas. Thereafter, both collagen and collagenase mRNA levels decreased. TypesⅠ, Ⅲ and Ⅳ collagen mRNA levels declined to 2\|fold to 3\|fold compared with normal controls ( P 0\^05) at 28 weeks. This study showed that the synthesis and degradation of collagen remained dynamic balance in the early stage of schistosomiasis, while in the later stage the metabolism of collagen synthesis was higher than that of collagen degradation. Conclusion It was confirmed at the transcription level that when the metabolism of collagen synthesis was higher than that of collagen degradation in rabbits with schistosomiasis japonica, liver fibrosis might be produced.

Objective To evaluate mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy in treating superior segmental ureteral calculi. Methods Two Hundred and thirty-six patients underwent mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy with holmium laser for superior segmental ureteral calculi from May 2005 to May 2008, 133 male and 103 female. Their age ranged from 17 to 76 years old with a mean of 47. 2 years. Of the 236 patients,141 compli-cated with calculi in the left side and 88 cases in the right side,7 in the both sides. The calculi diameter ranged from 0. 7 cm to 2.2 cm and the mean diameter was 1.4 cm. One hundred and ninety-three patients had undergone ESWL from 1~6 times. Results Of the 236 patients,217 were rendered stone-free at 1 pro-cedure. Residual calculi were found in 12 cases after operation and drugs were used for treatment. The resid-ual calculi were removed after 1 month. Seven cases with residual calculi were treated by ESWL and the cal-culi were removed. The total stone clearance was 91.9%. The mean operation time was 31.3 min(rang from 19~52 min), and the mean hospital stay was 9.5 days(rang from 6 to 12 days). The main complications following operation included: durative hematuria in 25 cases relieved by haemostasis and diuresis treatment within 24 to 48 hours,pnstoperative fever in 141 cases within 24 hours of which 103 were relieved by antiin-flammatory and fluid replacement treatment within 24 to 48 hours. Thirty-eight cases were relieved by anti-inflammatory treatwent depending on urine culture results within 3 to 7 days. The postoperative pain in all patients was light. Conclusion Minimally invasive percutaneous nephrolithotomy with holmium laser under ultrasound guidance is simple,safe and effective in treating proximal ureteral calculi.

Objective To study the methods and outcome of 71 patients with Parkinson's disease treated with microelectrode-guided stereotactic pallidotomy and thalamotomy. Method Pallidal and thalamal target sites are chosen by supervision of microelectrode recording technique in 71 patients with Parkinson's disease. The UPDRS motor score was used to evaluate the outcomes 12 weeks before and after operation Result After 12 months follow-up, tremor disappeared completely or nearly completely in 12 patients who underwent unilateral and l bilateral ventrolateral thalamotomy. Dramatic improvement of tremor, rigidity, bradykinesia were observed in 57 patients underwent posteroventral pallidotomy,including 6 underwent bilateral posteroventral pallidotomy. Intracerebral hemorrhage was observed in l patient. Conclusion Microelectrode-guided stereotactic pallidotomy and thalamotomy are effective in treatmenting Parkinson's disease, but with serious complications
