Objective To investigate the effect of epidural morphine for analgesia on the number of interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) in the rabbit colon.Methods Thirty healthy rabbits of either sex,weighing 2.0-2.5 kg,were randomly divided into 2 groups (n =15 each):control group (group C) and morphine group (group M).The animals were anesthetized with iv 20% urethane 4 ml/kg.The epidural analgesia was performed at L3,4 interspace.In group M morphine 9.2 ug· kg-1 · h-1 was infused into the epidural space for 7 consecutive days,while the equal volume of normal saline was infused instead in group C.The characteristics of excrement and constipation were recorded during morphine infusion.Normal saline or Chinese ink mixture 5 ml was administered via a gastric tube inserted through the mouth 1 day after the end of administration.The rabbits were sacrificed 30 min later and laparotomy was performed.The intestinal segment numbered from the pylorus to the ileocecal region of the bowel was removed and the length of the intestinal segment and propelled distance of the ink within the intestinal tract were measured in the tension-free state.The rate of propelled distance was calculated.The proximal and distal colon tissues were taken for measurement of the expression of c-kit (by immunohistochemisty) and ICC count,and stained with haematoxylin and eosin for examination of pathological changes.Results Compared with group C,the incidence of constipation was significantly increased,and the rate of propelled distance,and expression of c-kit and ICC count in proximal colon tissues were decreased at 3-7 days of morphine infusion (P < 0.05),and no significant change was found in the expression of c-kit and ICC count in distal colon tissues in group M (P > 0.05).Conclusion Epidural morphine for analgesia can inhibit the motor function of the intestinal tract in rabbits,and reduction in the number of ICC count in proximal colon is involved in the mechanism.

This article was aimed to study the chemical constituents in Tragopogon porrifolius L. and their activities by pharmacological experiment in order to provide evidences in the further development of the usage of this medical resource. Under the guidance of pharmacological activities screening results, compounds were isolated by repeated silica gel, macroporous resin column chromatography and HPLC. Their structures were identified by means of UV, IR, MS, NMR and other chemical evidences. The results showed that T. porrifolius L. (i.e., n-butanol extraction part) can increase survival time of mice in the oxygen-lacking state (P < 0.05). Two compounds of biological alkaloids, which were identified as 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-β-carboline-3-carboxylic acid (Ⅰ) and adenine (II), were isolated. It was concluded that compound Ⅰ and II were obtained from T. porrifolius L. for the first time.

Objective To evaluate the preventive effects of dezocine on postoperative hyperalgesia in patients after remifentanil-based anesthesia.Methods One hundred ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients,aged 20-64,weighing 45-65 kg,undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy,were randomly divided into 4 groups ( n =25 each): fentanyl group (group F),low-dose dezocine group (group D1 ),medium-dose dezocine group (group D2 ) and high-dose dezocine group (group D3 ).Anesthesia was induced with midazolam,propofol,remifentanil and cisatracurium.The patients were mechanically ventilated after tracheal intubation.Anesthesia was maintained with target-controlled infusion of remifentanil (target effect-site concentration 4 μg/L), intravenous infusion of propofol 4-6mg· kg-1· h-1 and intermittent intravenous injection of cisatracurium 0.03 mg/kg.Groups D1,D2 and D3 received intramuscular injection of dezocine 0.1,0.2,0.3 mg/kg at 30 min before the end of surgery respectively and group F received intravenous injection of fentanyl 1 μg/kg at 15 min before the end of surgery.The emergence time and extubation time were recorded.Visual analog scale(VAS),Bruggrmann comfort scale(BCS) and sedation and agitation scale (SAS) at immediately,1 h,2 h after emergence from anesthesia (T0,1,2),and the incidence of respiratory depression,nausea and vomiting and urinary retention after extubation were recorded.Results Compared with group F,the emergence time and extubation time were shortened,the incidence of respiratory depression and nausea and vomiting was decreased in groups D1,D2 and D3,VAS score was increased and BCS score was decreased at T0-2 in group D1,VAS score at T0 was increased,while VAS score at T1,2 and SAS score at T0-2 was decreased in groups D2 and D3 ( P < 0.05).Compared with group D2,SAS score was decreased at T0-2,while the incidence of respiratory depression was increased in group D3 ( P < 0.05 ).No patient showed urinary retention in the four groups.Conclusion Intramuscular injection of dezocine 0.2 mg/kg at 30 min before the end of surgery can reduce postoperative hyperalgesia with little side effects in patients after remifentanil-based anesthesia.

Adrenergic receptors are members of the G-protein coupled receptor superfamily. Recent studies revealed that these adrenergic receptors are playing an important role in the growth and metastasis of prostate cancer cells. The expression of adrenergic receptors rises significantly in prostate cancer cells and tissues. Agonists of these receptors promote the growth and mobility of prostate cancer cells, while antagonists may suppress their proliferation, trigger their apoptosis, and inhibit their metastasis. Clinically, receptor antagonists can significantly reduce the risk of prostate cancer and improve its prognosis after androgen depravation therapy. This article presents an overview on the roles of adrenergic receptors in prostate cancer.

AIM:To investigate the effect of piceatannol on the viability, and the abilities of migration and invasion in the prostate cancer cells.METHODS:DU145 cells were treated with piceatannol at different doses (0, 5, 10, 20, 40 and 80 μmol/L) for different time (12, 24, 36 and 48 h) as indicated.The cell viability was assessed by CCK-8 assay.The migration and invasion abilities of the cells were analyzed by wound healing assay and Transwell assay, respectively.The protein levels of p-JAK2 and p-STAT3 were detected by Western blot.RESULTS:Piceatannol dose-dependently decreased the cell viability.After treatment with piceatannol, the abilities of migration and invasion of the cells were significantly inhibited.Moreover, treatment with piceatannol resulted in marked decreases in the protein levels of p-JAK2 and p-STAT3.CONCLUSION:Piceatannol inhibits the viability, migration and invasion of the prostate cancer cells via regulating the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway.

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of berberine for the treatment of insulin resistance (IR) in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).Methods Sixty PCOS-IR women were randomized into treatment group and control group,30 cases in each group.At the end of the trial,26 cases in the treatment group (4 cases dropped out) and 29 cases in the control group (one case dropped out) completed the trial.The treatment group was treated with berberine orally,and the control group was treated with metformin orally,the treatment for the two groups lasting 3 months.Before and after treatment,we observed the parameters of body mass index (BMI),homeostasis model of assessment for insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR),fasting plasma glucose (FPG),fasting insulin (FINS),2-hour postprandial glucose after oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT2hPG) and 2-hour postprandial insulin after OGTT (OGTT2hINS),blood lipid levels of total cholesterol (TC),triglyceride (TG),low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C),and sexual hormones of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH),luteotropic hormone (LH),testosterone (T) and LH/FSH ratio.Results BMI,HOMA-IR,TC,TG and LDL-C of the two groups were decreased after treatment (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01 compared with those before treatment),but the differences between the two groups were insignificant(P > 0.05).Serum levels of T and LH as well as LH/FSH ratio in the treatment group were also decreased (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01 compared with those before treatment and those in the control group after treatment).Conclusion Berberine can improve HOMA-IR,decrease serum sexual hormones levels,and regulate the blood metabolism in PCOS-IR women,and its effect is similar to that of metformin.
