Buprenorphine is a semisynthetic opioid derived from thebaine. It has been shown to nteract in vivo and in vitro with multiple opioid receptors with slow receptor binding kinetics. It can act as an agonist and/or antagonist when interacting with different classes of opioid receptors, which contributes to the distinctive pharmacological feature of buprenorphine. This review summarizes the recent research data on the pharmacology of buprenorphine, aiming to accurately understand the efficacy and safety of its clinical use.

BACKGROUND: It is necessary to keep a good cervical curvature for improving nerve symptom in patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM). It is verified that cervical anterior plate internal fixation implant is effective to restore the physiological curvature of cervical vertebra.OBJECTIVE: To assess the physiological lordosis of cervical vertebra in CSM patients after cervical anterior plate internal fixation implantation.DESIGN: Observational study.SETTING: First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University.PARTICIpANTS: Totally 72 CSM patients were enrolled at Department of Orthopaedics, First Affiliated Hospital,Nanchang University from February 2003 to January 2006, including 46 males and 26 females, aged 45-70 years,averagely 54 years, with the history of 2-6 years. Inclusive criteria included ①cervical spinal cord compression shown in MRI, and ②using autogenous iliac bone. The experiment was approved by Hospital Ethics Committee, and all patients signed the informed consent. Cervical anterior plate was Orion locking plate offered by Shufamo Company. There were single segmental discectomy group (n =32) and two-level segmental discectomy group (n =40) according to experimental requirement.METHODS: ①Anterior decompression plus autogenous iliac bone implant plus titanium plate internal fixation were utilized.The patients were in supine position; shoulder and back were blocked up; neck backward, and endotracheal tube was done under general anesthesia. Transverse or oblique incision was made at right anterior neck. Discectomy decompression was performed with Caspar vertebra ecarteur. Three-dimensional autogenous iliac bone was implanted in decompressed intervertebral space. Immediate stability was obtained after Orion locking titanium plate was fixed, with placement drainage, and then the incision was sutured. ②Postoperative daily activities were conducted with cervical gear, which was removed 8 weeks later. ③Lateral cervical vertebrae X-rays were taken before operation, immediately after operation, 6 and 12 months after operation. Lordosis of the fusion segment was measured with Cobb's angle, and lordosis of cervical vertebra was assessed with D value. These data were analysed by statistic software. ④Bone fusion of the patients was followed up for 12 months after operation. Vertebral fusion standards included no abnormity between two spinous processes of the fusion segment, no lucency between implant and vertebra, as well as bone trabecula across the interface between implant bone and vertebra. ⑤Biocompatibility between material and host was observed during follow-up.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ①Changes of Cobb's angle and D value at different time points before and after operation,and ②Bone fusion and rejection were followed up.RESULTS: Totally 72 patients were involved in the result analysis. ①Cobb's angle was larger and D value was higher immediately after operation, 6 and 12 months after operation than those before operation in the single segmental discectomy group and the two-level segmental discectomy group (P＜0.05). ②Findings of 12-month follow-up showed that bone fusion appeared in all patients of the two groups. ③No significant rejection was found after titanium plate internal fixation implantation. It was found that material and host had a good biocompatibility.CONCLUSION: It is satisfactory to restore physiological lordosis of cervical spine by using cervical anterior plate internal fixation plus autogenous iliac bone for CSM.

Objective To study the effect and the mechanism of vitamin A deficiency (VAD) on neoplasia of nephroblastoma induced by dimethylhydrazine dihydrochloride (DMH). Methods A total of 90 Wistar rats weighing 40-50 g were divided into 3 groups:normal diet (ND) group (n=30),VAD group (n=30) and control group (n=30).In ND and VAD groups, 0.35% DMH was injected subcutaneously and the animals were fed with normal diet in ND group, and with vitamin A deficient diet in VAD group.In control group,the animals were fed with normal diet without DMH. The incidence of nephroblastomas and nephrogenic rests (NRs) in 3 groups were recorded. The renal tissues were prepared for detection of DNA index (DI) and S fraction of cell cycle by FCM,and for RAR? mRNA expression by RT-PCR.The incidence of nephroblastomas and NRs were determined according to Beckwith diagnostic criteria. Results No tumor developed in control group; the incidence of nephroblastoma in VAD group (36.7%) was significantly higher than that of ND group (13.3%,P

Intracorporeal anastomosis in laparoscopic right hemicolectomy of colon cancer is becoming a hot spot in colorectal surgery. A number of retrospective studies have suggested that intracorporeal anastomosis has potential advantages in promoting postoperative recovery and reducing postoperative complications compared with conventional extracorporeal anastomosis. Several randomized controlled trials published recently have also confirmed that intracorporeal anastomosis can promote postoperative gastrointestinal function recovery and reduce postoperative pain, but there is still insufficient evidence to draw a conclusion about the incidence of complications, especially the anastomotic leakage rate. Heterogeneity of surgical techniques and unclear definition of anastomotic leakage are the main difficulties in current studies. Several high-quality prospective randomized controlled trials are currently under way, and high level of evidence is needed to objectively evaluate the laparoscopic right hemicolectomy of colon cancer. The authors review the relevant literatures at home and abroad, systematically elaborate the research status and prospects of digestive tract reconstruction after laparoscopic right hemicolectomy of colon cancer, in order to explore a new direction for the clinical research of colorectal surgery in China.

BACKGROUND:Osteopontin mRNA and protein expressions are highly correlated with the severity of osteoarthritis. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of osteopontin on the gene expression of aggrecan and type II colagen in the human knee osteoarthritic chondrocytes in vitro. METHODS: Chondrocytes were harvested from human osteoarthritic knees and culturedin vitro. The chondrocytes were cultured with 0 (blank control group), 0.1, 1 mg/L osteopontin, respectively, for 48 hours. Real-time PCR was employed to detect the mRNA expression of aggrecan and type II colagen. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:After 0.1 and 1 mg/L osteopontin intervention, the mRNA expression of aggrecan and type II colagen in osteoarthritic chondrocytes was increased significantly (P< 0.05), and the mRNA expression of aggrecan and type II colagen was higher in the 1 mg/L osteopontin group than the 0.1 mg/L osteopontin group (P< 0.05). In addition, the mRNA expression of aggrecan and type II colagen was positively correlated with the concentration of osteopontin (r=0.751,P < 0.01;r=0.676,P < 0.01). These findings indicate that osteopontin up-regulates the mRNA expression of aggrecan and type II colagen in osteoarthritic chondrocytes of human kneein vitro in a dose-dependent manner.

Objective To investigate the value of temporary balloon occlusion of the abdominal aorta in the treatment of complete placenta previa with placenta accreta. Methods From January 2015 to February 2016, 24 cases of complete placenta previa with placenta accreta were treated with temporary balloon occlusion of the abdominal aorta (the study group) before cesarean, and 24 cases of complete placenta previa with placenta accreta did not receive balloon occlusion (the control group). The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, intraoperative blood transfusion volume, the perioperative hemoglobin level, the hysterectomy rate and the related complications were compared retrospectively.Also, the hospitalization time, the blood coagulation parameters after operation, including activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), fibrinogen (FIB), D-Dimer and reperfusion injury parameters including creatine phosphokinase (CK), creatine phosphokinase isoenzyme (CK-MB), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and serum creatinine were compared between the 2 groups. Results The blood loss [750 ml (400-2 000 ml) vs 2 000 ml (1 500-2 375 ml);Z=-3.214, P=0.001] and blood transfusion volume [200 ml (0-800 ml) vs 800 ml (0-1 200 ml);173, P=0.030] in the study group were lower than in the control group. The hemoglobin difference between before and after operation in the study group was lower than the control group [(12.8±13.4) g/L vs (22.9±20.1) g/L;t=-2.041, P=0.047]. In the study group, there were still bleeding in 13 cases after releasing the balloon, 5 of them received uterine artery embolization, 5 cases received uterine artery ligation, and 3 cases received uterine packing. One case had venous thrombosis in the right lower limb. Two cases (8%,2/24) in the control group had hysterectomy, while none in the study group, there was no statistical significance (P=0.489). Conclusions Temporary balloon occlusion of the abdominal aorta can effectively reduce blood loss and blood transfusion in the treatment of complete placenta previa with placenta accreta, but there is still the risk of continuing bleeding after releasing the balloon. Other methods of hemostasis might be needed.
