BACKGROUND: Uncoupling of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is the main cause for transplantation rejection, and it is the best way to prevent transplantation rejection by induce immunological tolerance of the recipient to the donor organ. Self-tolerant T cells can be obtained by negative selection in thymus, whether the intrathymic injection of allogenic antigen can get the immunological tolerance to the antigen?OBJECTIVE: To observe the effects of intrathymic injection of allogenic antigen on inducing immunological tolerance in nerve transplantation.DESIGN: A comparative observation.SETTINGS: Department of Immunology, Harbin Medical University; Department of Orthopaedics, Fourth Clinical Hospital of Harbin Medical University.MATERIALS: Thirty donor C57BL/6 mice (H-2b), male, aged from 6-8 weeks, weighing 18-22 g, were purchased from the Veterinarian Institute of Heilongjiang Province; While 60 recipient Balb/c mice (H-2b) female, aged from 6-8 weeks, weighing 18-22 g, from Beijing Experimental Animal Center. MHC (H-2b) antigen was prepared by the Department of Immunology, Harbin Medical University, and the concentration of protein was 4.4 g/L.METHODS: The experiments were carried out in the Department of Immunology, Harbin Medical University from June to November 2002. The recipient Balb/c mice were randomly divided into four groups: intrathymic injection group, syngenic transplantation group, allogenic transplantation group and immunosuppressant drug group. MHC (H-2b) antigen was extracted from splenic cells of donor C57BL/6 mice and injected intrathymically into recipient Balb/c mice (H-2d). Two weeks later, the sciatic nerve was transplanted to the recipient mice. Mixed lymphocyte reaction and delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) were detected at 3 weeks after transplantation.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:The differences of mixed lymphocyte reaction and DTH were compared among the groups.RESULTS: All the 30 donor C25BL/6 mice (H-2b) and 60 recipient Balb/c mice (H-2d) were involved in the analysis of results.①Results of mixed lymphocyte reaction: The cell proliferations in the syngenic transplantation group and intrathymic injection group were obviously lower than that in the allogenic transplantation group [(546.1±75.1), (2 668.3±533.8), (3 101.3±429.1), (4 312.3±534.1) minutes-1, P<0.05].②Results of DTH: The thicknesses difference between two pads in the syngenic transplantation group and intrathymic injection group were obviously lower than that in the allogenic transplantation group [(41.1±3.7), (72.1±5.1), (57.6±11.3), (86.2±13.2)μm, P<0.05].CONCLUSION:The intrathymic injection of donor H-2b antigen could induce immunological tolerance of nerve transplantation.

Deciphering the metabolites of multiple components in herbal medicine has far-reaching significance for revealing pharmacodynamic ingredients.However,most chemical components of herbal medicine are secondary metabolites with low content whose in vivo metabolites are close to trace amounts,making it difficult to achieve comprehensive detection and identification.In this paper,an efficient strategy was proposed:herb-derived metabolites were predicted according to the structural characteristics and metabolic reactions of chemical constituents in Corydalis Rhizoma and chemical structure screening tables for metabolites were conducted.The fragmentation patterns were summarized from represen-tative standards combining with specific cleavage behaviors to deduce structures of metabolites.Ion abundance plays an important role in compound identification,and high ion abundance can improve identification accuracy.The types of metabolites in different biological samples were very similar,but their ion abundance might be different.Therefore,for trace metabolites in biological samples,we used the following two methods to process:metabolites of high dose herbal extract were analyzed to char-acterize those of clinical dose herbal extracts in the same biological samples;cross-mapping of different biological samples was applied to identify trace metabolites based on the fact that a metabolite has different ion abundance in different biological samples.Compared with not using this strategy,44 more metabolites of clinical dose herbal extract were detected.This study improved the depth,breadth,and accuracy of current methods for herb-derived metabolites characterization.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of dexmedetomidine mixed with ropivacaine for thoracic paravertebral nerve blocks by multiple injections for preemptive analgesia on postoperative analgesia of patients undergoing thoracotomy. Methods Ninety patients, all genders, ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ, aged 35-64, BMI 18-24 kg/m2, undergoing radical operation for esophageal carcinoma were randomly divided into three groups (each group 30 patients): group C received general anesthesia, group R received ropivacaine for thoracic paravertebral nerve block and group RD received dexmedetomidine mixed with ropivacaine for thoracic paravertebral nerve block.Three groups all used intravenous infusion of propofol, refentanyl and inhalation sevoflurane for anesthesia maintenance, and PCIA pump started before the end of surgery in 3 groups.Meanwhile, group R and group RD received ultrasound-guided T4-T8thoracic paravertebral nerve blocks by multiple injections on operation side preoperatively.In group R, the mixture of 0.5% ropivacaine 19 ml and 1ml of normal saline was injected, and in group RD, the mixture of dexmedetomidine 1 μg/kg and 19 ml of 0.5% ropivacaine was injected.The analgesia process lasted 48 h after surgery of these 3 groups, and the VAS score was maintained<4 points.When the VAS score was 4 or more points, intravenous injection of morphine 5- 10 mg was delivered. Postoperative PCIA liquid and morphine consumption, somnolence, nausea, vomiting, respiratory depression, itching and urinary retention was recorded. Additionally, the occurrences of adverse events about thoracic paravertebral nerve blocks were recorded.Results The dosages of propofol, refentanyl in group R and group RD were lower than those in group G:(7.2 ± 0.6),(6.1 ± 0.5)mg/(kg·h)vs.(8.1 ± 0.5)mg/(kg·h), and there were significant differences(P<0.05).The dosage of propofol in group RD was lower than that in group R: (6.1 ± 0.5) mg/(kg·h) vs. (7.2 ± 0.6) mg/(kg·h), and there was significant difference (P <0.05). Compared with group G, the consumption of PCIA liqud and the usage rate of morphine was reduced in group R and group RD (P < 0.05); the consumption of PCIA liqud and the usage rate of morphine was lower in group RD than that in group R(P<0.05).The rate of nausea and vomiting and itch in group R and group RD was lower than that in group G,and there were significant differences(P<0.05). No significant difference in somnolence showed between three groups (P > 0.05). Conclusions Ropivacaine combined with dexmedetomidine for target thoracic paravertebral nerve blocks by multiple injections for preemptive analgesia can significantly improve the efficacy of postoperative analgesia after thoracotomy, meanwhile,it can also save the dosage of anesthetic drugs during the operation.
