Objective To study whether amputation of the tail extremity could induce change of Fos protein expression in mice ACC neurons , and explore the role of NK?1 receptor in the change. Methods Immunohistochemistry technique was adopted to study Fos protein expression change in mice ACC neurons at 0.25 h,0.5 h,1 h,2 h after amputation of the tail extremity 2.5 cm,and also the effect of NK?1 receptor antagonist GR82334(iv)or GR82334(ith)in the change. Results Fos protein expression in mice ACC neurons was significantly increased at 0.25 h,0.5 h after the amputation,and reached its peak at 1 h after the amputation,then started to decrease at 2 h after the amputation. GR82334(iv)com?pletely antagonized the significant augment in Fos protein expression in mice ACC neurons after the amputation ,but the antagonism of GR82334 (ith)was incomplete. Conclusion Amputation of the tail extremity could significantly increase the Fos protein expression of mice ACC neurons in a time?dependent manner. Both peripheral and central NK?1 receptors were involved in the process. However ,there are also central conduction pathways of other receptors and neurotransmitters involved in the significant augment in Fos protein expression in mice ACC neurons after amputa?tion.

Objective To perform a comparative study on membrane electrical properties of visceral and somatic nociceptive neurons of anterior cin?gulate gyrus(ACG)in cats,so as to provide the experimental basis for elucidating the mechanism of differences in perceptual qualities between vis?ceral pain and somatic pain from the membrane electrical aspects. Methods A total of 77 adult cats,female or male,weighting 2.0 to 3.5 kg were selected for the study. According to the properties of the greater splanchnic nerve(GSN)or saphenous nerve(SN)evoked responses of neurons in ACG and effect of morphine on the evoked responses,visceral nociceptive neurons(VNNs)having the long latency(≥50 ms)GSN evoked re?sponses or somatic nociceptive neurons(SNNs)having the long latency(≥50 ms)SN evoked responses were detected. With a glass microelectrode in vivo,a series of polarizing current of different intensity from-5 nA to+5 nA with a 50 ms duration were injected to these neurons in ACG,and the membrane electrical responses of these neurons were recorded. Finally,the membrane electrical parameters of these neurons were calculated. Re?sults Totally 254 VNNs and 172 SNNs were recorded in ACG. GSN evoked response threshold of VNNs were higher than SN evoked response threshold of SNNs. Compared with SNNs,the membrane resistance,the membrane capacity and the time constant of VNNs were larger. Conclusion Our data proved that there are some differences in the membrane electrical properties between VNNs and SNNs in ACG,which might be the mem?brane electrical basis for differences in perceptual qualities between visceral pain and somatic pain.

International Journal of Cerebrovascular Diseases 2019;27(6):433-437
Objective To compare the differences of different endovascular treatment strategies for intracranial aneurysms in radiation dose, operation time, and fluoroscopy time. Methods From April 2011 to September 2016, patients with intracranial aneurysm who underwent endovascular treatment in the Department of Neurosurgery, Shangluo Central Hospital were enrolled retrospectively. According to different endovascular treatment strategies, they were divided into exclusive coil embolization (COIL) group, balloon- assisted coiling (BAC) group, stent-assisted coiling (SAC) group, and flow diverting technology (FDT)group. The demographic and aneurysm data were collected, and the related evaluation indicators were tested and compared. Results A total of 119 patients with intracranial aneurysm received endovascular treatment were enrolled, 41 in COLI group, 32 in BAC group, 30 in SAC group, and 16 in FDT group. There were no significant differences in gender, age, and maximum diameter of aneurysms among the 4 groups. There were significant differences in the shape and location of aneurysms (all P < 0. 05 ). The operation time,fluoroscopy time and radiation dose in the SAC group were the longest or largest, and the difference was statistically significant compared with the other 3 groups (all P < 0. 05). However, there were no significant differences among the other 3 groups. Three months of follow-up showed no adverse reactions of skin erythema or hair loss in all patients. Conclusion In various endovascular treatment techniques, SAC has the longest operation time and fluoroscopy time, and the radiation dose is the highest, so attention should be paidto radiation safety when selecting this method.
