ObjectiveTo study the role of the myenteric plexus (ENS) nitrergic neurons in type 2 diabetic rats with gastroparesis.MethodsThiry male 8-week-SD rats were randomly divided into control group (CON),type 2 diabetic group (DM),insulin-treated group ( INS ) and insulin-lipoie acid group( LA ),each 15.The rats were sacrificed at 16 weeks after diabetic model established,the stomach relative residual rate of pigmented was measured and the protein content of neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) was evaluate,the level of malondialdehyde (MDA) and superoxide dismutase (SOD),were measured,the the morphological changes of gastric antrum nitrergic neurons was observed.ResultsCompared with CON group,gastric motility,gastric antrum nitrergic neuron count,T-SOD and CuZn-SOD,and were significantly decreased in DM group ( P ＜0.05).Compared with the CON group,DM group gastric antrum nitrergic neurons nNOS expression decreased,while MDA levels significantly increased ( P ＜ 0.05 ).Compared with DM group,INS group and LA group has significantly rapider gastric motility than that of DM group ( P＜ 0.05 ),the neuron counting markly increased in nitrergic neuron of gastic sinus ( P ＜ 0.05 ),increased expressions of nNOS in gastric sinus,while still lower than control group( P ＜0.05).compared with the INS group,antrum nitrergic neuron counts of LA group significantly increased ( P ＜ 0.05 ).Conclusion The gastrointestinal dyskinesis of type 2 diabetic rats might be associated with lesions of gastric myenteric plexus nitrergic neuron.Insulin intensive therapy and treated with alpha-lipoic acid as an antioxidant can inhibit the abnormally high levels of oxidative stress,protect gastrointestinal nitrergic neurons,delay the progress of diabetic gastrointestinal motility disorders.Insulin combined with a-lipoic acid treatment is superior to single-use insulin.

Aim To investigate the effects and signifi-cance of 5-HT2A receptor antagonist MDL1 1 939 on a-mice.Methods Kunming male mice were suffered a-cute acetic acid visceral pain,acute incision pain and CCI neuropathic pain.After each animal model was es-tablished,MDL1 1 939 was injected intraperitoneally. The writhing reaction was used to assess acute acetic acid visceral pain,while the thermal withdrawal laten-cy (TWL)was used to evaluate the acute incision pain and CCI neuropathic pain.Results Compared with the control group,MDL1 1 939 (0.25,0.5,1 .0 mg· kg -1 ,i.p.)relieved acetic acid visceral pain signifi-cantly in a dose-dependent manner in mice,as re-vealed by the significant reduction of the number of twisting.In acute incision pain and CCI neuropathic pain,MDL1 1 939 (0.5 mg·kg -1 ,i.p.)significantly increased TWL level.Conclusion 5-HT2A receptor antagonist MDL1 1 939 has analgesic effects on visceral pain,acute pain and neuropathic pain,which might be a novel therapeutic target to treat different pain in clini-cal situations.

ObjectiveTo demonstrate the project scope of the afferent nerves of the lumbar intervertebral disc,on which basis to explore the mechanism of the symptoms of discgenic low back pain.MethodsThirty Wistar rats were divided randomly into three groups of 10 rats each:the L4-5,L5-6,and L6 S1 group.Each group was further divided randomly into two subgroups,the experimental group and the control group,5 rats for each group.Intervertebral disc was exposed through the posterior approach under peritoneal cavity anesthesia,after the nerve roots were pull away,2 μl of 30％ cholera toxin-horseradish peroxidase (CT-HRP) was injected into the inner layer of the intervertebral disc in the experimental group,while 2 μl of 0.9％ Nacl was used in the control group.Forty-eight hours after the surgery,all rats were perfused and bilateral dorsal root ganglions(DRGs) of T10-L3 were resected and fixxied.Each DRG was sectioned at 30 μm thickness and processed by DAB method.The sections of DRGs were coverslipped and observed by optical microscopy for the neurons or axons labelled by CT-HRP.It was judged as positive that brownish-black particles were in the neurons or axons.ResultsNot in a single dorsal root ganglions,but in a scope of dorsal root ganglions axons labled by CT-HRP could be seen in the rats in the experimental groups.No CT-HRP labled neurons or axons were seen in dorsal root ganglions in the contral groups.ConclusionAfferent nerves of the lumbar intervertebral disc project to a scope of dorsal root ganglions,which is the anatomic basis of the mechanism of the symptoms of discgenic low back pain.

Fed with high-fat diet and assessed by hyperinsulinemia-euglycemia clamp technique, rat models with insulin resistance were successfully induced. Compared with normal chow group ( NC ), serum concentrations of free-fatty acids(FFAs) and baseline insulin in high-fat diet group(HF) was higher( P＜0.05 ), the average glucose infusion rate from 60 to 120 min( GIR60-120 ) was lower( P＜0.01 ), and the expression of p-IRE-lα in the liver was higher( P＜0.05 ). Furthermore, the expression of p-IRE-1α in the liver was positvely correlated with the serum concentration of FFAs. All these data indicate that high-fat diet may induce endoplasmic reticulum stress in the liver by elevating serum concentration of FFAs, and may participate in the genesis of insulin resistance via p-IRE-1α.

Objective To evaluate different detection methods in the diagnosis of severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS), and find the most quick and accurate one for the identification of new bunyavirus infection. Methods Real-time PCR and ELISA-IgM were used to detect serum samples of 158 patients with acute phase of SFTS, which were collected from the special monitoring system of SFTS in Henan Province in 2014. IgM and IgG antibodies were detected by ELISA in 109 acute and convalescent paired serum specimens. The differences of the positive rates were compared between the three methods, and the influence of the collected interval time on the detection results was analyzed. Results For 158 acute phase serum samples of SFTS patients, the positive rate detected by real-time PCR (76.58%) was higher than that of ELISA-IgM (47.47%), and the difference was statistically significant (χ2=34.13, P < 0.05). For 109 cases with acute and convalescent paired serum samples, there was no significant difference in the positive rates between ELISA-IgG ( 75.23%) and real-time PCR (72.48%) detections (χ2=0.18, P>0.05). In both the acute phase and convalescent phase, the positive rate of IgM was higher than that of IgG, and the difference was statistically significant (χ2=41.68 and 6.25, P<0.05). With the extension of collected interral time, the positive rates of IgM and IgG antibodies were both increased ( Z=6.42 and 10.08, P < 0.05). Conclusion Real-time PCR is the most sensitive method for the early diagnosis of the SFTS. ELISA-IgG is suitable for the detection of SFTS at recovery period. ELISA-IgM can be used as an assistant method to guide clinical diagnosis.

Aim To explore the effect of activated SK channels(small conductance Ca2+-activated K+ channels) on morphine-induced hyperalgesia in the spinal cord in mice.Methods Adult C57BL6/N male mice were chosen to establish the model of morphine-hyperalgesia.The changes of tail withdrawal latency(TWL), mechanical withdrawal threshold(MWT) and the threshold of visceral pain were observed after intrathecal 1-EBIO, the agonist of SK channels.Results Compared with the control group, TWL, MWT and the threshold of visceral pain were decreased after morphine injection.After intrathecal 1-EBIO, the TWL, MWT and visceral pain threshold were increased.The level of spinal membrane SK2 expression in morphine-treated mice was decreased compared with that of control group.After intrathecal 1-EBIO, the level of spinal membrane SK2 expression was increased.Conclusion SK channels in the spinal cord are involved in morphine-induced hyperalgesia in mice.

Objective To study clinical and immunological features of renal tubular acidosis (RTA) patients complicated with autoimmunity disease. Methods Data of 60 patients of RTA complicated with autoimmune disease and 40 without it during 1999 and 2009 were reviewed, including clinical features,immunological examinations and renal tubular function. Results Among 60 patients of RTA, 59 were type Ⅰ, one type Ⅱ, and 55 complicated with Sjogen's syndrome (92%), one with systemic lupus erythematosus, nine with autoimmune thyroid disease, and one with rheumatoid arthritis. Flaccid paralysis was manifested in 50 (83%) RTA patients complicated with autoimmune disease, polyuria in 28 (47%),polydipsia in 28 (47%) , bone disorder in 24 (40%) and arthralgia in 28 (47%) cases, but of those without autoimmune disease, bone disease only in eight (20%) and arthralgia in nine (22%) cases, with statistically significant difference ( P ＜0. 01 ). Serum level of parathyroid hormone increased noticeably, with prevalence of positive antinuclear antibody, anti-SSA antibody and anti-SSB antibody of 88 % (49/56),84% (47/56) and 43% (24/56), respectively in RTA patients with autoimmune disease, all significantly higher than those in the patients without it ( P ＜ 0. 05 ). Conclusions Sjogen' s syndrome is the most common and prevalence of bone disorder and arthralgia are significantly higher in patients of RTA complicated with autoimmune disease, which should be examined as early as possible for timely diagnosis and treatment.

Objective To investigate the effects of ropivacaine on proliferation,apoptosis and cell cycle of MDA-MB-231 Cells. Methods The cultured MDA-MB-231 cells were treated with different concentrations of ropivacaine. The proliferation of MDA-MB-231 cells was detected by MTT method. Cell apoptosis and cell cycle were detected by Annexin V-FITC/PI and flow cytometry. Results After ropivacaine administration,MDA-MB-231 cells proliferation inhibition ratio increased significantly.Annexin V-FITC/PI and flow cytometry showed ropiva-caine had no significant effects on cell apoptosis and cell cycle.Conclusion Ropivacaine can inhibit the prolifera-tion of MDA-MB-231 cells,but can′t induce apoptosis and block cell cycle.

Overactive bladder syndrome is a complex of lower urinary tract symptoms that disturbs people of all ages worldwide. The etiology and pathogenesis are unclear, and the treatment effect is often poor.In recent years, with the in-depth study of overactive bladder, it has been found that patients with overactive bladder are often accompanied by intestinal functional changes such as irritable bowel, which presents high comorbidities with irritable bowel syndrome. This article will discuss the relationship of overactive bladder and irritable bowel syndrome from three aspects of comorbidities,pathogenesis and treatment,in order to find similarities between overactive bladder and irritable bowel syndrome.It provides new clues and methods for the pathogenesis and treatment of overactive bladder and irritable bowel syndrome.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of esketamine combined with different doses of remimazolam for induction of general anesthesia in pediatric patients.Methods:One hundred and sixty pediatric patients of either sex, aged 3-6 yr, of American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification Ⅰ or Ⅱ, with body mass index of 13-20 kg/m 2, undergoing elective general anesthesia under a laryngeal mask, were divided into 4 groups ( n=40 each) by the random number table method: esketamine combined with propofol group (KP group) and esketamine combined with different doses of remimazolam group (0.2, 0.3, 0.4 mg/kg) groups (KR1 group, KR2 group, KR3 group). Esketamine 0.8 mg/kg was intravenously injected in the preanesthesia room. After entering the operating room, propofol 2.5 mg/kg was intravenously injected in KP group, and remimazolam 0.2, 0.3 and 0.4 mg/kg were intravenously injected in KR1, KR2 and KR3 groups, respectively. When the child lost consciousness and the Modified Observer′s Assessment of Alertness/Sedation Scale score<1, sufentanil and mevacurium were intravenously injected. When the Modified Observer′s Assessment of Alertness/Sedation Scale score≥1, rescue sedation was performed, and 3 min later the laryngeal mask airway was inserted. The onset time of sedation, response to laryngeal mask airway placement, rescue sedation, hypotension, tachycardia, bradycardia, bucking, hiccup, injection pain and apnea were recorded, and the increase rate of perfusion index (PI) was calculated. Results:No response to laryngeal mask implantation occurred in the four groups. Compared with KP group, the onset time of sedation was significantly prolonged, the incidence of hypotension, bradycardia, injection pain and apnea was decreased, the incidence of tachycardia was increased, and the increase rate of PI was decreased in KR1, KR2 and KR3 groups, and the rate of rescue sedation and incidence of bucking were increased in KR1 and KR2 groups ( P<0.05). Compared with KR1 group, the onset time of sedation was significantly shortened in KR2 group and KR3 group, and the rate of rescue sedation and incidence of bucking were decreased in KR3 group ( P<0.05). Compared with KR2 group, the onset time of sedation was significantly shortened, and the rate of rescue sedation was decreased in KR3 group ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the increase rate of PI, hypotension, bradycardia, tachycardia, injection pain and apnea among KR1, KR2 and KR3 groups ( P>0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of hiccup among the four groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Esketamine 0.8 mg/kg combined with remimazolam 0.4 mg/kg can be safely and effectively used for anesthesia induction and has milder inhibition of respiration and circulation as compared with esketamine combined with propofol in pediatric patients.
