Objective To investigate the effect of intrathecal gastrodin on skin cancer pain in mice.Methods Thirty-two female Balb/c mice,aged 8 weeks,weighing 20-25 g,were randomly divided into 4 groups (n=8 each) using a random number table:sham operation group (group S),skin cancer pain group (group SCP),gastrodin group (group G),and artificial cerebrospinal fluid (ACSF) control group (group ASCF).Skin cancer pain was produced by injecting phosphate buffer solution 20 μl containing about 2 ×105 4T1 breast cancer cells into the plantar surface of the left hindpaw.At 14th day after inoculation of cancer cells,ASCF 5 μl was injected intrathecally in S and ACSF groups,and gastrodin 150 μg/kg (5 μl) was injected intrathecally in group G.Before inoculation,at 30 min before intrathecal injection,and at 15,30,60,90,120 and 150 min after intrathecal injection,the thermal paw withdrawal latency (TWL) was measured.The expression of acid-sensing ion channel (ASIC)-3 mRNA in the spinal dorsal horn was detected using the real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction after the last measurement of the pain threshold.Results Compared with group S,the TWL was significantly decreased at each time point before and after intrathecal injection in SCP,ACSF and G groups,and the expression of ASIC-3 mRNA in the spinal dorsal horn was significantly down-regulated in group G (P＜0.05).Compared with group SCP,the TWL was significantly increased at each time point after intrathecal injection,and the expression of ASIC-3 mRNA in the spinal dorsal horn was significantly down-regulated in group G (P＜0.05),and no significant change was found in the parameters mentioned above in group ACSF (P＞0.05).Conclusion Intrathecal gastrodin can reduce skin cancer pain and down-regulate ASIC-3 expression in the spinal dorsal horn which is helpful in maintaining the analgesic effect in mice.

Objective To study the influence of bFGF gene transfected bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) on the inflammatory cytokines of COPD rat. Methods The BMSCs were separated from SD rat and cultured and then bFGF gene was imported to BMSCs by liposome transfection method. The samples were prepared into six groups: normal control group, COPD group (A), BMSCs group (B), pcDNA3.1-BMSCs group (C), bFGF-pcDNA3.1-BMSCs group (D), and bFGF group (E). The expressions of TNF-α and IL-1β by QRT-PCR were detected. Results Compared with COPD group, TNF-α and IL-1β genes from groups B to D dropped significantly (P < 0.05). The changes of TNF-α and IL-1β genes among groups B to D showed no significant difference (P > 0.05). Conclusion BFGF transfected BMSCs, sample BMSCs and pcDNA3.1 transfected BMSCs can inhibit the expression of inflammatory cytokines of TNF-α and IL-1β, but there is no obvious advantage in comparison to bFGF transfected BMSCs and sample BMSCs in respect of inhibiting the expression of inflammatory cytokines of TNF-α and IL-1β.

Objective To compare the clinical outcome of unipedicular versus bipedicular vertebroplasty treating for osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture.Methods Sixty-four patients(68 vertebra)were divided into two groups by treated methods:unipedicular kyphoplasty group(33 cases)and bipedicular vertebroplasty group(31 cases).The Cobb angle and vasual analogue pain scale(VAS)were measured preoperatively and postoperatively.The operation time was recorded.Compared the Cobb angle,VAS and the operation time between two groups.Results Of unipedicular kyphoplasty group preoperative,24 hours and 3 months after operation,VAS were(8.42 ± 1.33),(2.21 ± 1.67),(2.09 ± 1.58)scores,the Cobb angle were(31.24 ±9.12)°,(14.21 ±9.21)°,(14.43 ±9.36)° ;while those of bipedicular vertebroplasty group were(8.36 ± 1.52),(2.13 ± 1.80),(2.00 ± 1.71)scores and(30.84 ±8.77)°,(13.94 ± 8.87)°,(14.07 ± 9.87)°.VAS and the Cobb angle of both groups at 24 hours and 3 months after operation were lower than those preoperative(P＜ 0.01).VAS and the Cobb angle of both groups were similar at the same time preoperatively and postoperatively(P ＞ 0.05).The operation time of unipedicular kyphoplasty group and bipedicular vertebroplasty was(45.00 ± 8.76),(72.00 ± 9.32)min,respectively,there was statistically significant difference between two groups(P ＜ 0.01).Conclusions Compared with the bipedicular vertebroplasty,the advantages of unipedicular kyphoplasty are as follows:less trauma,less operation time and less X-rays rediation accepted of the patient and the operator.And it has the similar clinical outcome with the bipedicular vertebroplasty.

Objective To investigate the effect of parecoxib on hippocompal inflammation following partial hepatectomy in aged rats.The effects of selective COX-2 inhibitor (parecoxib) on hippocampal inflammation were also evaluated.Methods Seventy male rats,aged 20 months,weighing 500-600 g,were randomly divided into three groups: control (n=10),surgery (n=30),and parecoxib (n=30).Control animals received sterile saline to control for the effects of injection stress.Rats in the surgery group received partial hepatectomy under isoflurane anesthesia and sterile saline injection.Rats in the parecoxib group received surgery and anesthesia similar to surgery group rats,and parecoxib treatment.On postanesthetic day 1,3 and 7,animals were euthanized to assess the hippocampal COX-2 expression,PGE2 production and caspase-3 expression.Results Surgery significantly increased the expression of COX-2 mRNA and protein expression,PGE2 production and caspase-3 protein expression on day 1 postoperatively (P<0.01),until day 3 (P<0.05) compared to control group.Parecoxib treatment group significantly suppressed COX-2 mRNA and protein expression,PGE2 production and caspase-3 protein expression on postoperative day 1 and day 3 (P<0.05 or P<0.01),in comparison with the surgery group.There was no significant difference between control group and other groups of the expression of COX-2 mRNA and protein expression,PGE2 production and caspase-3 protein expression on day 7.Conclusion Partial hepatectomy induces a short-term hippocampal inflammatory response in the rats.Parecoxib suppressed the hippocampal inflammation via the down-regulation of COX-2 mRNA and protein,PGE2 and caspase-3 protein in rats following partial hepatectomy.

Objective To compare the effectiveness and safety of ultra-early (< 24 h)and delayed (≥ 24 h ) endovascular embolization of ruptured intracranial aneurysms with systematic review. Methods PubMed,Embase,the Cochrane Library,VIP,Wanfang Data,and China National Knowledge Internet (CNKI)were retrieved according to inclusion,exclusion criteria and retrieval strategies,and the clinical literature of ultra-early and delayed endovascular embolization for the treatment of ruptured intracranial aneurysms were obtained. The Review Manager 5. 3 software was used to conduct Meta-analysis for good prognosis rate,postoperative mortality,and postoperative rebleeding rate. Results A total of 10 articles were included,9 of them were retrospective control studies and 1 was prospective control study. A total of 2 021 patients were enrolled,including 970 patients treated with ultra-early treatment;1 051 patients treated with delayed treatment. There was significant difference in the good prognosis rate (OR,2. 67,95% CI 2. 07 -3. 44,P < 0. 01)and the postoperative rebleeding rate (OR,0. 23,95% CI 0. 11 -0. 47)between the ultra - early embolization group and the delayed embolization group (all P < 0. 01). There were no significant difference in the mortality between the two groups (OR,0. 76,95% CI 0. 51 -1. 13,P = 0. 17). The subgroup analysis showed that there were significant differences in the good prognosis rate in the ultra-early group compared with the early group (< 3 d,OR,1. 98,95% CI 1. 33 -2. 95)and the middle and late group (≥3 d,OR,4. 66,95% CI 2. 21 -9. 81,all P < 0. 01). Conclusion Compared with the delayed group, ultra-early embolization of ruptured intracranial aneurysms may improve the good prognosis rate,reduce the rebleeding rate,and not increase the mortality after procedure at the same time. However,more high quality and large sample randomized controlled trials are needed to confirm them.
