Objective To detect the expression of dead box 1(DDX1)gene in tumor tissue and pericarcino-matous tissue of clinical neuroblastoma(NB)samples,and explore the relationship between DDX1 and NB. Methods Five cases of pathological specimens in children with NB were chosen from Department of Pathology,the First Affi-liated Hospital of Xinxiang Medical University between January 2012 and December 2014. In the 5 cases,3 cases were male,2 cases were female,the age of 1 - 5 years old,average age(2. 1 ± 1. 6)years. The NB tissue and pericarcino-matous tissue(pericarcinomatous tissue was normal tissue which was at least 2 cm from the tumor tissue)of 5 children were collected and fixed in 40 g/ L formaldehyde solution. Then with the conventional dehydration,embedding,sectio-ning, dewaxing, hydration, antigen repair, add primary antibodies, secondary antibodies, diaminobenzine chromogenic. The expressions of DDX1 in tumor tissue and pericarcinomatous were observed with light microscopy and with semi - quantitative analysis.(1)Staining degree:no staining with 0 score;light staining with 1 score;medium staining with 2 scores;deeply staining with 3 scores.(2)Positive cells proportion:positive cells proportion ﹤ 10% with 0 score;positive cells proportion within 10% - 30% with 1 score;positive cells proportion within 31% - 60% with 2 scores;positive cells proportion ﹥ 61% with 3 scores. Final scores were a half of the sum of staining degree score and positive cells proportion score,final score within 0 -1. 0 with - ,1. 1 -2. 0 with + ,2. 1 - 3. 0 with + + ,3. 1 -5. 0 with + + + . Results DDX1 were expressed in NB and pericarcinomatous tissues,but visible DDX1 positive staining number more and deeper in NB,DDX1 positive staining number less and light in pericarcinomatous tissues. Five cases of pericarcinomatous tissues immunohistochemical semi - quantitative score were negative and final scores were 1. 0 score or less,the mean value was 0. 5 score. NB immunohistochemical semi - quantitative score were+or + +and final scores were 1. 5 score or higher,the mean value was 1. 8 scores,the expressions of DDX1 were sig-nificantly higher in NB than the pericarcinomatous tissues. Conclusions DDX1 is highly expressed in NB,which may contribute to the development of NB. This suggest DDX1 may serve as an oncogene and play a catalytic role in the de-velopment of NB,which provides a clinical evidence for the follow - up study.

The antinociceptive effect of epidural administration of huwentoxin-I was elucidated in a tonic visceral pain rat model produced by acute colon inflammation. The nociceptive behaviors were induced by perendoscopically injecting dilute formalin (50 μl) into the depth of the colonic wall in rats. Both ω-conotoxinMVIIA and morphine hydrochloride were given epidurally as positive control while saline as negative control.Similar to ω-conotoxin-MVIIA and hydrochloride morphine, the epidural administration of HWTX-Ⅰ significantly reduced the nociceptive responses in a dose-dependent manner in tonic visceral pain rat model ( P < 0.05). The suppression effects of both huwentoxin- Ⅰ and ω-conotoxin-MVIIA at 20 μg/kg were kept steady compared with the saline group and reached their maximum effects at the doses of 50 ~ 75 μg/kg within 1 hour when the nociception had been observed. It was also found that at the same doses, huwentoxin- Ⅰ was less effective in antinociception than ω-conotoxin-MVIIA. However, ω-conotoxin-MVIIA, but not huwentoxinⅠ , caused an obvious motor dysfunction at these doses. The action of morphine hydrochloride was initiated faster, but lasted for a shorter time than that of huwentoxin- Ⅰ and ω-conotoxin-MVIIA. Thus, huwentoxinⅠ , a potent blocker of neuronal N-type voltage-sensitive calcium channels, induced a remarkable dosedependent restrain effect similar to ω-conotoxin-MVIIA and morphine on the tonic visceral pain produced by colonic wall injection of formalin in conscious rats.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of epidural anesthesia combined with different doses ropivacaine and sufentanil for stepwise labor analgesia in latent phase.Methods Two hundred and ten ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ primiparas with a singleton and vertex presentation at full term in our hospital from February 201 5 to April 201 5 were randomized into seven groups (n =30 each):0.125% ropiva-caine with 0.5 μg/ml sufentanil (group 1);0.075% ropivacaine with 0.5 μg/ml sufentanil (cervical dilatation < 3 cm),0.125% ropivacaine with 0.5 μg/ml sufentanil (cervical dilatation ≥ 3 cm) (group 2);0.1% ropivacaine with 0.5 μg/ml sufentanil (cervical dilatation < 3 cm),0.125% ropiv-acaine with 0.5 μg/ml sufentanil (cervical dilatation≥3 cm)(group3);0.1 5% ropivacaine with 0.5μg/ml sufentanil (group 4);0.075% ropivacaine with 0.5 μg/ml sufentanil (cervical dilatation < 3 cm),0.1 5% ropivacaine with 0.5 μg/ml sufentanil (cervical dilatation≥ 3 cm)(group 5 );0.1%ropivacaine with 0.5 μg/ml sufentanil (cervical dilatation<3 cm),0.1 5% ropivacaine with 0.5 μg/ml sufentanil (cervical dilatation≥3 cm)(group 6);0.125% ropivacaine with 0.5 μg/ml sufentanil (cervical dilatation<3 cm),0.1 5% ropivacaine with 0.5 μg/ml sufentanil (cervical dilatation≥3 cm) (group 7).The intensity of pain was assessed by visual analog scale (VAS).Meanwhile,1abor process,postpartum hemorrhage,Bromage score,postpartum adverse reactions and Apgar score of the neonates were also observed.Results No significant difference was found in VAS score after epi-
dural block between groups at each time.The latent period of group 2 and 3 were shorter than that in group 1 (P <0.05)and that of group 5 and 6 were shorter than that in group 4 (P <0.05);the ac-tive phase of group 4 were longer than that in group 1 (P <0.05 ).The postpartum hemorrhage of group 2 and 3 were less than that in group 1 (P <0.05),the postpartum hemorrhage of group 5,6 and 7 were more than that in group 2 (P <0.05)and group 3 (P <0.05).The motor nerve block of group 2 and 3 were slightly less than that in group 1 (P <0.05)and the motor nerve block of group 5,6 and 7 were slightly less than that in group 4 (P <0.05).There was no difference of the postpar-tum adverse reactions of maternal and Apgar score in the neonates.Conclusion The dosage of 0.075% or 0.1% ropivacaine with 0.5 μg/ml sufentanil (cervical dilatation < 3 cm),0.125% ropiv-acaine with 0.5 μg/ml sufentanil (cervical dilatation ≥ 3 cm),while producing the exact analgesic effect,hardly interferes with the 1abor process,the amount of postpartum hemorrhage and the lower limb activity,thus they have no significant effect on the safety of the maternal and the infant.
