The P2X7 receptor (P2X7 R)is a nonselective cation channel activated by extracellular ATP,and it may trigger the se-cretion of several proinflammatory substances,such as IL-1β, IL-18,TNF-α,and nitric oxide.Several preclinical studies have demonstrated that this receptor participates in inflammation and pain mechanisms,and compounds that modulate the function of this receptor show potential as new anti-inflammatory medicines. Therefore,P2X7 receptors play particularly important physiologi-cal roles and have potential clinical application in inflammation and pain,which proves it a therapeutic target for pain manage-ment.

HIV-related sensory neuropathy ( HIV-SN) mainly contains the HIV infection-related distal sensory polyneuropa-thy (DSP) and antiretroviral toxic neuropathies (ATN).HIV-DSP is associated with proinflammatory cytokines , chemokines, ros and which is induced by gp 120;and HIV-ATN may be related to mitochondrial toxicity which is induced by the application of anti retroviral drugs, such as ddC, and similar as the molecular mechanism of HIV-DSP, this means that the current conventional method for the treatment of neuropathic pain in AIDS may further aggravate the neuropathic pain of the patient .Therefore, developing the study on the neurochemical and pharmacological mechanisms of HIV-related neuropathic pain will provide novel targets for the new effective drugs .

Objective:To study the application of HL-60 monocyte activation test in the pyrogen detection of vaccines. Methods:HL-60 cells were incubated with the standard pyrogen(endotoxin,zymosan and lipoteichoic acid)solution and the sample solution at different concentrations,and then IL-6 level was detected using ELISA kit. According to the concentration of standard pyrogen solution and the level of IL-6,the standard curve and linear relationship were obtained. Based on the IL-6 value from the sample solution,the pyrogen content of the sample was calculated. The standard pyrogen solution at middle concentration of the standard curve was used as the interference sample,and the interference assay was performed referring to the bacterial endotoxin test in Chinese pharmacopoeia. The pyrogen recovery rate and the content were detected using HL-60 / IL-6 assay in seven kinds of vaccines such as influenza vaccine(Split Virion),inactivated;hepatitis A(live)vaccine,freeze-dried;rabies vaccine(Vero Cell)for human use,freeze-dried;lyophilized human measles and rubella combined vaccine,live;measles and mumps combined vaccine, live; haemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome bivalent vaccine, inactived; group A and C meningococcal polysaccharide vaccine. Results:① The linear relationship between the pyrogen concentration and the IL-6 level was good,and R2 value was 0. 996,0. 993 and 0. 997,respectively. ② The recovery rate of pyrogen in the above vaccines ranged from 50% to 200% . ③ The endotoxin concentration of 10 batches of group A and C meningococcal polysaccharide vaccine was detected using HL-60 / IL-6 assay,and the average value of 6 batches from factory A was 134. 73 EU·ml-1 ,and that of 4 batches from factory B was 40. 75 EU·ml -1 . The pyrogen in the other vaccines was all negative. Conclusion:The HL-60 / IL-6 assay is suitable for the pyrogen detection of the seven kinds of vaccines.

Objective To investigate the effect of gabapentin on high voltage active calcium currents in the injured dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons in a rat model of neuropathic pain.Methods Pathogen-free male SD rats aged 4-6 weeks were used in this study. The animals were anesthetized with intraperitoneal pentobarbital soclium 50 mg/kg. L_5 spinal nerve was ligated between DRG and sciatic nerve and cut distal to the ligature. The animals were decapitated on the 14th postoperative day. L_5 DRG was isolated and the neurons in the ganglion were enzymatically dissociated. The high voltage active calcium current was recorded using whole-cell patch-clamp technique.Results Gabapentin inhibited the peak calcium current in the injured DEG neurons. Peak calcium current was decreased by gabapentin 100 μmol/L and both activation and steady-state inactivation curve shifted to more hyperpolarized potentials. Conclusion Gabapentin can inhibit high voltage active in the injured DRG neurons in a rat model of neuropathic pain. The alteration in the inactivation of the electrophysiological properties may be involved in the mechanism.
