Objective To investigate the effects of post-operative analgesia with oxycodone or morphine for patients undergoing colon cancer radical surgery on platelet activation and cellular immunity.Methods Forty colon cancer patients scheduled for radical surgery, 23 males and 17 females, ASA physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ, were randomly divided into 2 groups (n=20 each): oxycodone group (group O) and morphine group (group M).Patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) was used for post-operative analgesia.PCIA solution contained oxycodone 1 mg/kg and tropisetron 6 mg in 100 ml normal saline in group O or morphine 1 mg/kg and tropisetron 6 mg in 100 ml normal saline in group M.Blood samples were obtained from the patients at 5 min before anesthesia induction (T0), 4 h after surgery (T1), 24 h after surgery (T2) and 48 h after surgery (T3).The levels of glycoprotein (GP)Ⅱb/Ⅲa, P-selection (CD62P), natural killer (NK) cells, NKT cells, and natural Treg (nTreg) cells were detected.The platelet aggregation rate (PAR) was determined.Results Compared with T0, the levers of GPⅡb/Ⅲa, CD62P, PAR and nTreg cells were significantly higher at T1 in group O and at T1, T2 in group M (P<0.05).Compared with T0, the levels of NK and NKT cells were decreased significantly at T1 in group O and at T1-T3 in group M (P<0.05).The levels of GPⅡb/Ⅲa, CD62P, PAR and nTreg cells at T2 and T3 in group O were decreased significantly as compared with group M (P<0.05).The levels of NK cells, NKT cells at T2 and T3 in group O were significantly higher than those in group M.Conclusion Post-operative analgesia with oxycodone for patients undergoing colon cancer radical surgery exhibits a more significant effect of decreasing platelets activity and presents a less disturbance on cellular immunity as compared with morphine.

To establish a method for detecting microdialysis recovery of tetramethylpyrazine (TMP) and ferulic acid (FA) and investigating the influencing factors, providing the basis for further in vivo microdialysis experiments. The concentration of FA and TMP in dialysates were determined by high pressure liquid chromatography ( HPLC) and probe recovery were calculated respectively. The influence of the flow rates, medium concentration, temperature and in vivo probe stability on the recovery of FA and TMP were investigated by using concentration difference method (incremental method and decrement method). The recovery obtained by incremental method were similar to by decrement method. The in vitro recovery rate of FA and TMP decreased with the increase of 1-2.5 μL min(-1), and increased obviously with the temperature of 25-42 degrees C under the same conditions. The concentration of FA and TMP had no obvious effect on the probe recovery under the same flow rate. In addition, the recovery of TMP and FA remained stable and showed similar trends under the condition of four concentration cycles, indicating that the intra day reproducibility of the concentration difference method was good. The recovery of brain microdialysis probes in vivo 8 h maintained a relatively stable, but certain differences existed between different brain microdialysis probes, demonstrating that each probe was required for recovery correction in vivo experiment. Microdialysis sampling can be used for the local brain pharmacokinetic study of FA and TMP, and retrodialysis method can be used in probe recovery of FA and TMP in vivo.

OBJECTIVETo establish a new method for simultaneous determination of shanzhiside methyl ester, chlorogenic acid, 8-O-acetyl shanzhiside methylester, forsythiaside B, rutin, acteoside and galuteolin in Lamiophlomis rotata.

METHODSeparation was performed on a Welchrom-C18 chromatographic column with acetonitrile-0.1% orthophosphoric acid as mobile phasewith gradient elution. The flow rate was 1.0 mL x min(-1). The column temperature was 30 degrees C, and the detection wavelength was set at 238 nm, 330 nm and 350 nm.

RESULTThe seven compounds were well separated with good linear correlations. The mean recoveries of seven compounds were 96.47%-102.2% (RSD 0.70%-2.2%).

CONCLUSIONThere were good correlations among the seven compounds in the samples of aerial parts. The mean sum of shanzhiside methyl ester and 8-O-acetyl shanzhiside methylester in samples of aerial parts is 1.44%. The aerial parts have more kinds of composition and with higher content than that of underground parts in L. rotata, which was reasonable for the resonable use of the aerial part as medicinal part. The method was simple, repeatable and stable, which could be used for identification and quality evaluation of L. rotata.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effects of chronic lead exposure on expression of autophagy-associated proteins in rat hippocampus.

METHODSSD rats were randomly divided into three groups: control group was given distilled water, lead-exposed groups were given 0.5 g/L (low-dose) or 2.0 g/L(high-dose) lead acetate solution in drinking water. The rat pups started to drink the lead content water until 60 d maturity. The lead contents in blood and brain samples were analyzed by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The expressions of Beclin 1, LC3, LAMP2 and cathepsin B proteins were detected by Western blot and immunohistochemistry.

RESULTSCompared with control group, the contents of lead were significantly higher in blood and hippocampus samples in chronic lead-exposed rats (P<0.01). Western blot showed that the expression of Beclin 1 and LC3-II/LC3-I increased significantly in high dose lead-exposed group compared with control group (P<0.05 or P<0.001). The confocal laser immunostaining results demonstrated that increased immunofluorescence staining of cathepsin B in hippocampal neurons compared with control animals.

CONCLUSIONThe disturbance of autophagy-lysosome signaling molecules might be partially contribute to neurotoxicity of chronic lead exposure.

OBJECTIVETo explore the dedifferentiation phenomenon of human mature adipocytes cultured in vitro and to discuss the possibility of using dedifferentiation adipocytes (DA) as seed cells.

METHODSMature adipocytes and ASCs were harvested from human fat aspirates. Mature adipocytes were cultured and induced to DA by ceiling adherent culture method. Cell morphology were observed during the whole process. Viabilities of DA and ASCs were compared by MTT chromatometry and cell growth curves were drawn based on it. Cell surface markers of DA and ASCs were detected by flow cytometry. The adipogenic, osteogenic and chondrogenic ability of DA and ASCs were assessed by oil red O staining, alizarin bordeaux staining and alcian blue staining, respectively.

RESULTSHuman mature adipocytes can dedifferentiate into fibroblast-shaped DA. MTT chromatometry assay demonstrated that DA and ASCs both had strong reproductive activity, with no significant difference between them. Flow cytometry assay demonstrated that both DA and ASCs expressed HLA-ABC, CD29 and CD44, while didn't express CD45, CD34 and CD106. After two weeks of adipogenic differentiation, lipid droplets could be displayed by oil red O staining in both DA and ASCs. After two weeks of osteogenic differentiation, calcium salts mineralization in DA and ASCs could be detected by alizarin bordeaux staining. After two weeks of chondrogenic differentiation, matrix of cartilage cells in DA and ASCs could be detected by alcian blue staining.

CONCLUSIONSMature adipocytes can be dedifferentiated into DA in vitro. DA has strong reproductive activity, as well as osteogenic, chondrogenic ability and strong adipogenic ability. It expresses some of the stem cell-related cell surface proteins and is a promising seed cell for adipose tissue engineering.
