Chinese Journal of Behavioral Medicine and Brain Science 2009;18(1):31-33
ObjectiveTo study the distribution and expression of NMDA receptor subunit 2A in the spinal cord of morphine tolerant rats. MethodsTwelve Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into two groups with 6 rats each: control group (C) were intrathecally administrated 0.9% NaCl 10μl and morphine group(M) received 10μg morphine (i.t.). Drugs were administrated twice daily for 7 consecutive days. Tail flick latency (TFL) in the hot water immersion test was used to evaluate changes of thermal hyperalgesia latency of each group before and 30min after administration every morning. Rats were killed the day after last administration and L4~5 segment of the spinal cord was removed for determination the expression of NR2A by immunofluorescence method. ResultsTFL of group M was decreased gradually after chronic administration of morphine intrathecally. There was no significant difference between group M[(3.25±0.93)s] and group C[(2.66±0.27)s] on the 7th day (P>0.05). A morphine tolerant model was established successfully. NR2A was distributed throughout the rat spinal cord. The expression of NR2A in group M(OD:9617±1233) was increased compared with group C(OD:2.66±0.93) (t=3.133,P<0.05).ConclusionThe expression of NR2A was upregulated after repeated administration of morphine intrathecally in the superficial dorsal horn of spinal cord of morphine tolerant rats,which may be part of the mechanisms of morphine tolerance.
2.The role of Scleraxis and Tenomodulin in tendon development
International Journal of Biomedical Engineering 2008;31(6):365-368
Tendons are dense connective tissues that mediate the attachment of the muscle system to the skeletal system. While the methods for clinical tendon repair remain less satisfactory, tissue engineering may pro- vide promising future. Therefore, understanding the natural tendon development process is important for tendon en- gineering. Scleraxis and Tenomodulin are relatively specific molecule makers for tendon and ligment and play im- portant roles in the tendon development. This article gives review of the molecular structure, the expression regula- tion, and the roles of Scleraxis and Tenomodulin in tendon development, in order to better understand the process of tendon development.

Objective:To assess the efficacy and safety of oncoplastic breast-conserving surgery (OBCS) in the treatment of early breast cancer. Methods:The clinicopathological data of breast cancer patients who were treated with OBCS (67 cases) and standard breast-conserving surgery (SBCS;117 cases) in Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Guangxi Medical University were retrospectively analyzed. Postop-erative complication, specimen weight, margins, and surgery re-excision rate between the two groups were compared. Results:Sero-ma (14.9%versus 48.7%, P<0.001), hematoma (4.5%versus 14.5%, P=0.035), and poor wound healing (3.0%versus 11.9%, P=0.036) were more common in the SBCS group than in the OBCS group. The patient satisfaction in the OBCS group was statistically higher than in the SBCS group (P<0.05). Compared with standard surgery, oncoplastic techniques can be employed for significantly larger tumors (25.04 mm versus 21.14 mm, P<0.001). OBCS resulted in higher mean specimen weights (92.24 g versus 57.44 g, P<0.001), wider clear nearest margins (12.04 mm versus 9.58 mm, P<0.001), and wider furthest margins (24.16 mm versus 15.24 mm, P<0.001). No statisti-cal increase was observed in further surgery re-excision of margins. Conclusion:OBCS is more successful than standard wide local exci-sion in treating larger tumors and obtaining wider radial margins. Oncoplastic approach showed no increase in postoperative complica-tion rate. The postoperative complication was excellent. OBCS is a safe and effective procedure for early breast cancer.

Objective To investigate the interaction between NMDA receptor subunit 2B (NR2B) and metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5) in the spinal cord of morphine-tolerant rats. Methods Sixteen male SD rats weighing 220-280 g were randomly divided into 2 groups with 8 rats in each group: control group (C) and morphine group (M). In group M morphine 10μg was administered intrathecally (IT) twice a day for 7 consecutive days. In group C equal volume of normal saline was given instead of morphine. Tail flick latency (TFL) (a segment of tail 4-5 cm long was immersed in 52-53℃ hot water) was used to measure the antinocicepitve effect of morphine before and 30 min after morphine administration every morning. MPE (percentage of maximal possible effect) was calculated (pain threshold after drug administration - baseline pain threshold)/(10- baseline pain threshold)× 100% . The animals were killed at the next day after last IT administration and the dorsal half of L4-5 spinal cord was isolated and homogenized for determination of NR2B and mGluR5 protein expression by Western blot and CO-IP. Results MPE was significantly increased at 1-5 d of drug administration and returned to baseline at 7 d in group M as compared with group C. The mGluR5 protein expression was significantly up-regulated in group M as compared with group C but there was no significant difference in NR2B protein expression between the 2 groups. Conclusion There is interaction between NK2B and mGluR5 in the spinal cord of morphine-tolerant rats.

Objective: We investigated experimentally the changes of intestinal immunity following shock and resuscitation after trauma. Method:The experimental model was made in rats, which underwent laparotomy, then bleeding and reinfusing through the right fetmoral artery. Result: The concentration of IgA following shock and resuscitation were significantly higher than that before shock.. The concentration of IgA 24 h following resuscitation was the lowest, and was significantly lower than that at the end of shock.. The endotoxin in portal vein following shock and resuscitation were higher than that before shock.. The endotoxin level 24 h following resuscitation was the highest, and markedly higher than that at the end of shock. Conclusion: The traumatic shock and resuscitation are capable of causing intestinal immunosuppression and endotoxemia.

[Objective]To study the therapeutic effect of recombinant erythropoietin for contusion injury of spinal cord.[Method]Contusion injury of spinal cord was caused by weight dropping in 24 New Zealand rabbits.Twelve hours after injury,the rabbits in control group were given natural saline intravenously and rabbits in low,mediate and large-dose group were given rh-EPO 100 IU/kg,500 IU/kg and 1000 IU/kg respectively.Neurological status of lower limbs were scored at 24 hours,48 hours and one week after spinal cord injury.All rabbits were killed one week after injury and spinal cords were stained by HE and caspase-3 method.Electronic microscopy was used to evaluate ultrastructural injury.[Result]The neurological scores of EPO treated groups were significantly higher than that of control group.HE and Caspase-3 immunohistochemistry showed that histological and ultrastructural damage of EPO treated groups were less severe than that of control group.The caspase-3 positive neurons were significantly fewer than that of saline treated group.There was no significant difference of therapeutic effect between mediate and large-dose EPO treated groups.[Conclusion]Rh-EPO administered 12 hours after contusion injury of spinal cord could lessen histological and ultrastructural damage,prevent apoptosis of neurons and promote neurological recovery of spinal cord.Mediate dose of rh-EPO is the appropriate treatment choice for spinal cord injury.
