Mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) are important kinases involved in the intracellular signaling transduction in mammalian. There are three major MAPK pathways: ERK/MAPK,JNK/SAPK and P38 MAPK. Current studies indicate that all of them play significant roles in the processing of pain especially in the development and maintenance of pathological pain. This review will focus on in the study of MAPK in pain modulation. The further insights into its mechanisms may highlight a nice prospect for the therapies of painful diseases.

Objective To evalute and compare the efficacy and safety of epinephrine-saline submu-cosal injection of different concentrations on endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD),and to discuss the best concentration of submucosal injection.Methods A total of 128 patients who underwent ESD were ran-domly assigned to submucosal normal saline injection group (group A,n =32),0.001% epinephrine-saline injection group (group B,n =32),0.002% epinephrine-saline injection group (group C,n =32),and 0.004% epinephrine-saline injection group (group D,n =32).The incidence of bleeding during and after ESD were counted,the blood preasure and heart rate of preoperative and intraoperative,the amount of sub-mucosal injection,the time of operation were observed.Results ESD was successfully performed on all pa-tients.There were no difference in highest blood preasure and fastest heart rate between preoperative and in-traoperative results of each group.No perforation or intraoperative acute massive bleeding occurred.Intraop-erative acute minimal bleeding during ESD occurred in 9 patients in group A and 3 in group B,2 in group C and 2 in group D (P <0.05),but there were no differences among group B,C and D.The amount of submu-cosal injection of group A was(39.5 ±10.8)ml,which was more than that of group B(29.4 ±9.4)ml,group C(27.3 ±8.2)ml and group D(20.4 ±11.8)ml with significant difference.There were no differences a-mong group B,C and D,but there was less in group D than group B.The operation time of group A was(82.3 ±24.78 minutes),which was longer than that of group B (60.7 ±25.35minutes),group C (54.7 ± 31.72minutes)and group D(59.2 ±28.49 minutes),but there was no difference among B,C and D group. Conclusion Epinephrine-saline submucosal injection assiting ESD is safe and effective and reduces the op-eration time and bleeding than normal saline.The increase of the epinephrine-saline concentrations has not been found to be more beneficial.

Objective The purpose of this study is to study the expression of miR -221 in cervical cancer tissues and its relationship with HPV infection .Methods HR-HPV infection was detected by HC2,and 30 cases of HR-HPV negative and 5 cases of HR-HPV positive cervical cancer tissues were collected .Mean-while,30 cases of normal cervical tissues in patients with benign disease were collected as control group .The ex-pression of miR -221was detected by RT -PCR,preliminarily investigating the relationship between miR -221 expression and the occurrence of cervical cancer and HPV infection .Through transfection of miR-221 and anti-miR-221 into HPV16-positive cervical carcinoma cell line Caski and HPV 16-negative cervical carcinoma cell line C33a,we observed the role of miR -221 on the migration and invasion of Caski cells and C 33a cells.Results Compared with normal cervical tissues , the expression of miR -221 in cervical cancer was significantly in-creased,the difference was statistically significant( P<0.01);and the expression of miR-221 was closely correl-ative to the patients with or without lymph node metastasis ,pathological grade and clinical stage ( P<0 .01 );the expression of miR-221 in HR-HPV positive cervical cancer tissues was higher than in HR -HPV negative cer-vical cancer tissues(P<0.01);transfection of miR -221 and anti-miR-221 could promote or downregulate C33 a and Caski cells migration and invasion ,and the changes between two groups had statistical significance ( P<0.05).Conclusion The increased expression of miR -221 in cervical cancer tissues is closely related to the oc-currence and development of cervical cancer and HPV infection .

Objective:To obtain the high-efficiency expression of the biological active rabies virus nucleoprotein in the prokaryotic expression system.Methods:This experiment uses codon optimization technology to re-encode the nucleoprotein gene of rabies virus CTN-1 strain, artificially synthesize the full-length gene and clone it into pET-43.1a prokaryotic expression vector, induced expression in BL21 (DE3) strain of Escherichia coli( E. coli), and used Western blot to detect its reactogenicity. Results:The results showed that after induction, SDS-PAGE electrophoresis analysis showed that an obvious expression band appeared at a molecular weight of 50×10 3, which was consistent with the expected protein band size. Among them, the E. coli concentration A600 is about 0.5, and the expression yield is the highest (about 32.3%) when induced at 37℃ for 5 h. Nucleoprotein expression product is mainly inclusion body when it is expressed in large quantities. After purification by Ni 2+ chelating chromatography, the purity of the target protein can reach over 95%. The purified product was identified by Western blot and positively reacted with the sera of mice immunized with rabies vaccine, indicating that the prokaryotic expression of the CTN-1 strain nucleoprotein has biological activity. Conclusions:This experiment successfully established a high-efficiency expression method for the nucleoprotein of the CTN-1 strain in the prokaryotic expression system, and obtained high-purity target protein, which provides a basis for further clinical diagnosis and preparation of new vaccines.

To study the effect of genistein on the proliferation of cardiac fibroblasts(CF), CFs were cultured from neonatal rat hearts, DNA synthesis of the cells was determined by incorporation of ［3H］TdR into DNA, the cell cycle was measured by flow cytometric analysis. Genistein(0.5－50 μmol*L-1) attenuated 2.5% fetal calf serum-induced proliferation of CF in concentration-dependent manner. Genistein(50 μmol*L-1) arrested CF cell progression at G2/M phase. The results suggest that genistein be a potential substance for treatment of cardiac fibrosis.
