Objective To investigate the effect of bone cancer pain on emotion and NMDA re-ceptor NR2B subunit expression level in anterior cingulate cortex (ACC)in rats.Methods One hun-dred and fifty healthy male Wistar rats weighing 200-250 g aged 3 months old were randomly divided into 3 groups (n = 50 in each group):sham operation group (group S),bone cancer pain group (group BCP),RO25-6981 group (group RO).The BCP model was established by inoculating Walker 256 breast cancer cells into right intra-tibial.Rats in group S were given the same dose of d-hanks. Group RO was injected intraperitoneally with RO25-6981 (5 mg/kg/d)on the day of inoculation, while rats in the group S and group BCP were given the same dose of normal saline.Mechanical with-drawal threshold (MWT)and thermal withdrawal latency (TWL)of right hind legs were measured on day 7,10,14 after inoculation respectively.Elevated plus-maze test was carried out to investigate the effect of bone cancer pain on emotion in rats after pain threshold detection,then the percentage of the times entering the open arms (OE)and the percentage of the time staying in the open arms (OT) duration the total period were evaluated.Then the anterior cingulate cortex tissue was removed to e-valuate the NR2B protein and mRNA expression levels by RT-PCR,Western blot and immunofluo-rescence methods on day 14 after elevated plus-maze test.Results All the parameters did not differ with significant difference between group S and group RO.MWT decreased and TWL shortened on day 7,10,14 after inoculation in group BCP compared with those before inoculation and those of group S and group RO.OE and OT in group BCP reduced remarkably than those before inoculation and those of group S and group RO.Relative absorbance of NR2B mRNA,the expression of NR2B pro-tein,average NR2B relative fluorescence intensity value is obviously higher than that of group S and group RO (P <0.05).Conclusion Bone cancer pain can induce pain-related aversion and anxiety-like behavior of rats,and the mechanism may be related to the high expression of NR2B in anterior cingu-late cortex.

Objective To determine the clinical value of intraoperative cholangiography in mini-cholecystectomy. Methods The clinical data of 506 patients receiving intraoperative cholangiography in minicholecystectomy from 1992 to 2006 in our hospital were analyzed retrospectively. Results Intr-aoperative cholangiography was successfully completed in 403 patients. The success rate was 97.4%.Stones in the bile duct in 49 patients,abnormal bite duet in 4 patients and bile duct injury in 4 patient were found. The cuts were extended in 16 patients. Conclusion Intraoperative cholangiography is of great value in inducing postoperative complications and improving the quality of MC. Therefore, it can be used to prevent residual stone after operation, avoid bile duct exploration or injury, decrease the chance of extending the cut and make sure of abnormal bile duct.

Objective To evaluate the effect of medical hygiene wipes on disinfecting object surface and compliance to use in an intensive care unit (ICU).Methods 30 beds in the ICU at a hospital were randomly selected and divided into three groups:A,B and C,each group had 10 beds.Group A were only provided hygiene wipes,group B used towel soaked in chlorine-containing disinfectant (disinfected towel),group C were provided both medical hygiene wipes and disinfected towel for selected use.Compliance to different disinfection methods,and disinfectant efficacy on object surface were compared.Results The rate of compliance to disinfection in group A was higher than group B (78.78% vs 42.12%,χ2 =68.56,P <0.05);except medical disposal trolley and ventilator,compliance to disinfection of the other object surface in group A were all higher than group B (all P <0.05).Except ventilator, adenosis triphosphate (ATP)values before and after disinfection of object surface in group A and B were both significantly different (both P <0.05 ),disinfectant efficacy of group A was superior to group B.Group C used medical hygiene wipes more than disinfected towel ([836 times,91 .57%]vs [77 times,8.43%]).Nurses spent (20.15+ 3.00 )minutes on preparing disinfectant every day,and (15.02 ± 2.00 )minutes on washing used disinfected towel,while hygiene wipes could be used immediately,discarded after use,and was timesaving. Conclusion Use of medical hygiene wipes is convenient,rapid,and without irritating odor,it also improves disinfection effect on object surface and ICU health care workers’compliance to disinfection.

Objective To design a new experimental facility to induce rat diffuse axonal injury model. Methods Rat diffuse axonal injury was induced by a new experimental facility,which was developed to let the rat head spin 90 degree at the moment to cause shearing injury.Vital sign and behavior of rat were measured simultaneously.The rats were sacrificed at 2 h,6 h,12 h,24 h,36 h,72 h and 10 d after injury,respectively,and the brain tissues were removed to prepare paraffin section.Then silver staining and HE staining were conducted to investigate changes of axonal fibers. Results There were unconsciousness,respiratory rhythm disturbance and hyporeflexia of pupil light reflex immediately after injury,and reactiveness decrease and activity retardation still existed even after resuming consciousness.At anatomical scene,subarachnoid hemorrhage or cerebroventricular haemorrhage were widespread.At an early stage,there were swelling,collapse,and axonal retraction ball formation at cortico-medulla junction,callosum,brainstem,and cerebellar white matter under microscope.But at the later stage,gitter cell proliferation and nest-like aggregation were major pathophysiological changes at focal brain tissue. Conclusion The new experimental facility is suit able to be used to induce rat diffuse axonal injury,since it is convenient,controlable,and precise.

Objective To evaluate a new model of anterior spinal cord injury (SCI) syndrome and to explore the pathophysiology of SCI. Methods Fifty-five Wistar rats were randomly divided into a sham-operated group ( 10 rats) and an experimental group (45 rats). A metal hook was fixed in front of the rats'abdomens to compress the ventral part of the spinal cord in the experimental group. According to the degree and time of compression,the rats in the experimental group were divided into light, moderate, heavy injury subgroups. The tilt board test and the Bosso-Beattie- Bresnahan (BBB) locomotor rating scale were used to assess the rats' behavior at the 1st , 7th andl4th days and after 4 and 8 weeks. The latency of somatosensory evoked potential (SEP) and motor evoked potential (MEP) were measured before and 8 weeks after the operation. Results After the operation the gradients in the tilt board test and BBB scores in the experimental subgroups were all significantly lower than in the sham-operated group. There were also significant differences among the 3 severity subgroups. Eight weeks after the operation the average MEP latencies in the experimental subgroups were significantly longer than in the sham-operated group, and there were also significant differences among the 3 severity sub-groups. MEP in the heavy injury subgroup was significantly longer compared with the sham-operated group. Conclusions Obvious behavioral and neuroelectrophysiological changes were observed in the injured rats. Models of different severity could be prepared and reproduced to simulate clinical SCI.
