Objective To define the functional mechanisms of two NSAIDs , paracetamol and ibuprofen , in specif-ic brain regions in headache control by observing the distribution of Fos -immunoreactive neurons in trigeminal ganglia and trigeminal nucleus caudalis in conscious rat models of vasculogenic headache .Methods Thirty male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into three groups: control group ( saline group ) , acetaminophen group and ibuprofen group .Each rat was given electrical stimulation ( frequency 20 Hz, current 3-5 mA, pulse width 0.25 ms) at 50 minutes after injec-tion .The rats were killed and perfusion fixed after electrical stimulation .Trigeminal ganglia and trigeminal nucleus caudalis of the brains were taken out for paraffin sections and immunohistochemical staining , and Fos-immunoreactive neurons were counted under the Image J system .Results After electrical stimulation , there were significant differences of Fos protein expression in bilateral trigeminal ganglia and spinal trigeminal nucleus caudalis between the saline group and groups of non -steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs , but no significant difference of Fos protein expression in bilateral trigeminal ganglia and spinal trigeminal nucleus caudalis between the acetaminophen group and ibuprofen group .Conclusions The changes of Fos expression in bilateral trigeminal ganglia and spinal trigeminal nucleus caudalis after treatment with NSAIDs suggest that such structures participate in the pain transmission and expression and the pharmacology course of analgesic drugs .

OBJECTIVE:To develop a method for the simultaneous determination of 5 components in Shuganning injections. METHODS:HPLC method was adopted. The determination was performed on Symmetry? C18 column with mobile phase consisted of methanol-0.4% phosphoric acid(gradient elution)at the flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The detection wavlengths were set at 238 nm (geniposide,baicalin) and 327 nm (chlorogenic acid,baicalein,scutellarin). The column temperature was 30 ℃ and the sample size was 10 μL. RESULTS:The linear ranges were 0.4062-26.0 μg/mL for chlorogenic acid(r=0.9999),2.5000-160.0 μg/mL for geniposide (r=0.9999),6.5620-420.0 μg/mL for baicalin (r=0.9999),0.3125-20.0 μg/mL for baicalein (r=0.9996), 0.5859-37.5 μg/mL for scutellarin (r=0.9998). The limits of quantify were no higher than 31.20 ng,limits of detection were no higher than 15.60 ng. RSDs of precision, stability and reproducibility tests were lower than 2.0% ;the recoveries were 97.72%-101.10%(RSD=1.21%,n=6),97.67%-102.40%(RSD=1.87%,n=6),97.64%-101.10%(RSD=1.31%,n=6), 96.45%-100.10%(RSD=1.47%,n=6),96.16%-101.10%(RSD=1.69%,n=6),respectively. CONCLUSIONS:The method is simple,precise,stable and reproducible,and can be used for simultaneous determination of 5 components in Shuganning injection.

Myopia prevalence is still rising worldwide, addressing the worldwide myopia “epidemic” is of utmost importance, since the World Health Organization estimates that half of the world's population will suffer from myopia by the middle of the century. In addition to causing vision loss, myopia is closely associated with irreversible blinding disorders such as glaucoma and retinopathy. The pathophysiology of myopia is strongly linked to the biomechanical effects of intraocular pressure(IOP)on the scleral structure. Scleral tissue undergoes considerable structural remodelling during myopia development, increasing its sensitivity to the mechanical stresses of IOP. Important mechanisms include increased collagen degradation brought on by matrix metalloproteinase(MMP-2)activity, extracellular matrix dynamics destabilization from an imbalance in the regulation of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase(TIMPs), aberrant choroidal blood supply brought on by activation of the hypoxia-inducible factor-1α(HIF-1α)pathway, and cascading regulation of the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway in scleral remodeling. This study provides a significant scientific foundation and fresh concepts for the future research into myopia prevention and control strategies by methodically examining the connection between changes in IOP and the development of myopia as well as its molecular underpinnings.
