Objective To investigate the role of astroglial glutamate-glutamine shuttle in the development of neuropathic pain (NP) in rats. Methods Forty-eight adult male SD rats weighing 200-230 g were randomly divided into 8 groups (n =6 each): Ⅰ control group (group C);Ⅱ sham operation group (group S);group ⅢNP;Ⅳ-Ⅶ 0.01, 0.03, 0.05 and 0.10 mmol/L methionine sulfoximine (MSO, an inhibitor of glutamine synthetase (GS)) group (group M1-4 );Ⅷ MSO + glutaminate group (group MG). In group C no operation was performed. In group S the sciatic nerve was only exposed but not ligated. NP was induced by ligation of the tibial nerve and commom peroneal nerve according to the technique described by Dixon. After the establishment of the model, intrathecal PBS 50 μl was injected in group NP, IT 0.01, 0.03, 0.05 and 0.10 mmol/L MSO 50 μl was injected intrathecally in group M1-4, and 0.05 mmol/L MSO 50 μl was injected intrathecally and then 0.25 mmol/L glutamine 50 μl was injected intrathecally 15 min later in group MG. Mechanical pain threshold was measured 1 week before ligation (T0 , baseline), 1 week after ligation (T1) and 15, 30, 45 and 60 min after injection of MSO (T2-5). Then rats were killed and the lumbar segment of the spinal cord was removed for determination of the expression of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and GS and the co-expression (GFAP/GS) in the dorsal horn.Results Mechanical pain threshold was significantly lower at T1-5 in group MG and NP and at T2-4 in group M3.4 ,and the expression of GFAP, GS and GFAP/GS was significantly higher in group MG,NP and M3 than in group S and C ( P < 0.05) .Conclusion Astroglial glutamate-glutamine shuttle in the spinal cord is involved in the development of neuropathic pain in rats.

Objective To investigate the effect of activation of NF-κB signaling pathway on pathogenesis of lung in diabetes mellitus(DM) rat. Methods The experimental type 2 diabetic rats were built by injecting streptozotocin (STZ) and feeding with high fat and glucose food. At the 12nd and 24th week, we observed the alteration of morphology in the lung of rats in the control group(20 rats) ,the DM group(30 rats)using spectroscopic analysis. The collagen accumulation of lung was observed by masson trihrome staining, and alteration of NF-κB P65, IκBα, and PKC in lung was observed by immunohistochemistry. Results The tissue structure of lung in the DM rats distributed deranged in the light microscope, alveolar wall were thicken, extracellular matrixes increased and pulmonary fibrosis appeared. With the development of pathogenic condition, the expression increased obviously. The staining optical density value of NF-κB P65 in tissue of lung in the 12 w and 24 w DM group were 0. 20 ± 0. 01 and 0. 35 ± 0. 06 respectively, which was significantly higher than those of the control group at the corresponding time point ( 0. 12 ± 0. 02 and 0. 17 ± 0. 03, respectively, Ps < 0. 0l ). The staining optical density value of IκB in tissue of lung in the 12 w and 24 w DM group were 0. 29 ±0. 02 and 0. 36 ± 0. 03, respectively, which were significantly higher than those of the control at the corresponding time point (0. 08 ± 0. 02 and 0. 22 ± 0. 08, respectively, Ps < 0. 01 ). Conclusion The signaling pathway of NF-κB/IκB participate in the occurrence and development in the pathogenesis of lung in DM, and may be one of the mechanisms of lung injury.

Objective:To explore the correlation among childhood trauma, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, and implicit and explicit memory in patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder(OCD).Methods:Fifty-two OCD patients were enrolled, and the childhood trauma was investigated by using the childhood trauma questionnaire short-form(CTQ-SF). The degree of obsessive-compulsive symptoms was assessed by using the Yale-Brown obsessive symptoms scale (Y-BOCS). In addition, the abilities of implicit memory and explicit memory were tested by vocabulary perception speed tasks and vocabulary recognition tasks.According to the scores of CTQ-SF, the patients were divided into abuse group( n=26) and neglect group( n=26). SPSS 22.0 software was used for t-test and Pearson correlation analysis. Results:Results of obsessive-compulsive symptoms, implicit memory, and explicit memory showed no differences between the abuse group and the neglect group( t=-1.959-1.839, P>0.05). The scores of obsessions symptoms(12.52±4.61) were positively correlated with the total scores of CTQ-SF (40.10±10.20)( r=0.331, P<0.05). On the subscale, the scores of obsessions were positively correlated with the scores of physical abuse(7.89±3.02), sexual abuse(6.47±2.28)( r=0.373, P<0.01, r=0.356, P<0.05). There was a negative correlation between the scores of physical abuse and the accuracy of explicit memory(68.75±13.33)( r=-0.281, P<0.05). The scores of physical neglect(8.98±2.67) was positively correlated with implicit memory response time(4 285.94±2 067.42)( r=0.314, P<0.05). Conclusion:Obsessions in patients with OCD are related to traumatic childhood experiences, especially physical abuse and sexual abuse.Physical trauma may influence the level of implicit and explicit memory in patients with OCD.
