OBJECTIVE:To review the recent advances in analgesics study and summarize the drugs for central sensitization and analgesia model by relating to the latest means and methods of research.DATA SOURCES:The literature on analgesics was retrieved in NCBI database for the related papers published between January 1996 and December 2001, with the key words of "analgesia", "analgesic", and "pain"and language restricted to English. At the same time, papers published in the past two years were retrieved in http:∥www.wanfangdata.com.cn, with the key words of "analgesia", "analgesic" and "ganglioplegic" in Chinese and the language restricted to Chinese.STUDY SELECTION:Totally more than 50 000 research references repeated contents.DATA EXTRACTION: Altogether 100 basic research articles were collected. We selected 15 articles relevant to the research development in analgesic drugs, and excluded 82 review papers with repeated content.expressed by proto-oncogene c-Fos located in the nucleus is a kind of DNA conjugated protein. It can regulate the expression of some pain-related genes. Some studies found that substance P synthesis is likely to play a research: Developing the central sensitization drugs is the orientation of sal root ganglion neurons and model of swallowing response were established.CONCLUSION:By investigating the effects of various new research methods and models on pain, we intended to look for more new drugs, to further study neurotransmitters and the clone of transmitter receptor at the cellular and molecular level so as to find the new effect target of the drugs, and to have a better understanding of the integrity of chronic pain in humans and achieve more breakthroughs in the development of neuroscience research.

Objective To correctly analyze the positive results of electrocardiogram treadmill exercise test (TET) and improve the level of diagnosis of CHD Methods Two hundred and fifty eight patients with chest pain underwent TET and CAG; the case history and different clinical parameters were collected (1) Clinical data of the true positive group and the pseudo positive group were compared and underwent a statistic analysis (2) Clinical data of the female positive group were compared and underwent a statistic analysis Results The number of females in the pseudo positive group was larger than in the true positive group;The number of patients with typical chest pain, hyperlipidemic history, history of smoking, family history of CHD was smaller than in the true positive group;In the pseudo positive group,the changes of ST segment were mainly in Ⅱ, Ⅲ and aVF The number of extent of changes of more than 0 2 mV and with angina induced during exertion in pseudo positive group was smaller than in true positive group In females, under 60 years, the number of ST segment changes of resting ECG and left ventricular hypertrophy was larger in pseudo positive group than in true positive group The difference was significant Conclusion The factors including sex, typical chest pain,risk factors of CHD, the location and extent of ECG changes and angina induced following exertion should be combined to analyze the positive results of TET
5.Different patterns of titanium surface nanocrystallization and drug load aimed at establishing orthopedic implants with antimicrobial property
Journal of Shanghai Jiaotong University(Medical Science) 2017;37(6):847-852
Titanium and titanium alloys,which are bio-inert materials and have excellent mechanical properties,have broad applications in clinic.On the one hand,TiO2 nanotube can effectively enhance the osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and have antimicrobial abilities in some extent;On the other hand,TiO2 nanotube,an outstanding drug-carrier,could effectively prevent and treat bone implant-related infection by loading antimicrobial agents.By means of modifying the nanotube coating,improving the efficiency of drug loading and ameliorating release profile,the ideal antimicrobial property could be achieved.Strategies for drug release can be divided into two approaches,namely mechanical release and intellectual release.Mechanical release could fortify the antibacterial ability of coating,but the unicity and uncontrollability of agents diluting need to be resolved.By contrast,intellectual agents release has the advantages of multiple drug species,controllable release volume and programmed trigger condition.This article reviews the current and potential methods of antibacterial substances loading and release from TiO2 nanotube,and expects to provide the orientation for future direction of controllable and intellectual nanotube drug release.

ObjectiveTo study the therapeutic effect of variable pulsed Nd∶YAG laser and intense pulsed light (IPL) on port wine stain(PWS) in an animal model.MethodsThe combs of 38 Leghorn chickens served as the animal model of PWS,which were randomly classified into 4 groups:blank control group receiving no irradiation,Nd:YAG group receiving Nd∶YAG laser irradiation for 2 sessions,IPL group receiving IPL irradiation for 2 sessions,and combination group receiving 1 session of Nd∶YAG laser irradiation followed by 1 session of IPL irradiation 45 days later.One week after the final irradiation,the rnorphology of combs was observed,and tissue specimens were resected from the combs for the analysis of histological changes and blood vessel density.The data were assessed by using one-way ANOVA.ResultsAfter 2 sessions of irradiation,the color of comb skin was lightened,and light microscopy showed the thickening of vascular layers in the dermis,blockage of blood vessels and decrease in the number of blood vessels.The count of blood vessels per high power field(× 400) was significantly lower in the Nd∶YAG group(17.92 ± 3.63),IPL group(8.08 ± 1.56)and combination group(7.08 ± 1.31) than in the control group(37.08 ± 3.97,all P < 0.01 ),but was similar between the combination group and IPL group (P > 0.01),and higher in the Nd∶YAG group than in the combination group(P < 0.01 ).ConclusionsVariable pulsed Nd∶YAG laser and IPL,alone or in combination,can be used in the treatment of PWS,however,the effect of IPL alone or in combination with Nd:YAG seems superior to that of Nd∶YAG laser alone.

Pure and drug hydrophilic matrix tablets were prepared by direct compression method with theophylline as a model drug. The characteristics of four hydrophilic matrix polymers, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC), polyethylene oxide (PEO), sodium alginate (NaAlg) and xanthan gum (XG), were compared by investigating the water absorption, swelling, erosion and gel layer strength. The sequence of water absorption rate was XG >> NaAlg (H) > PEO > NaAlg (L) >> HPMC; The sequence of swelling index was XG >> PEO >> HPMC >> NaAlg; The sequence of erosion rate was NaAlg (L) > NaAlg (H) >> PEO80 > PEO200 > PEO300 > XG approximately PEO400 approximately K4M > K15M > PEO600 approximately K100M; The sequence of the gel layer strength was PEO > HPMC > XG >> NaAlg. For the PEO and HPMC matrix tablets, with the polymer molecular weight increased, the drug release mechanism was gradually transferred from mainly depending on the erosion to the diffusion; for SAL matrix tablets, the drug release mainly depends on erosion mechanism; and for XG matrix tablets, the drug release mainly depends on non-Fick diffusion mechanism. Comparison of the performance difference between the polymer materials will contribute to rational design and prediction of drug release behaviors from matrix tables and ultimately to achieve clinical needs.
