Objective To investigate the change of glucose metabolism in warm ischemia/reperfusion injured kidney of rabbits in vivo by microdialysis and real-time electrochemical detection.Methods A total of 20 New Zealand rabbits were divided into experiment and control groups(10 in each).After anesthesia by intravenous injection of barbitone,an oblique incision under the 12th rid was made in the animals to expose the right kidney and the right renal artery and vein.Afterwards,a microdialysis probe was placed into the dorsal renal cortex along the long axle of the kidney.After 60 minutes to equilibrate,an electrochemical detection system was used to continuously determine the concentration of glucose in the renal cortex before ischemia.Then,ischemia/reperfusion injury model was established by clamping the renal pedicle for 60 minutes followed by perfusion for 60 minutes.The control group received the same intervention without clamping the renal pedicle.The glucose concentration of the microdialysis samples were analyzed before,during,and after the ischemia.Results The reaction of the glucose electrode to the electric current was linearly correlated with the concentrations of glucose,and the rate of microdialysis probe recycling was(63.6?2.1)%.The concentration of glucose in the renal cortical interstitial samples were(1.89?0.37),(0.69?0.12),and(0.62?0.14)mmol/L respectively before,during,and after the warm ischemia.During the ischemia phase,the mean concentration of glucose decreased by(36.7?2.4)% from the base level(LSD test,P=0.000).The glucose concentration of the experimental group was significantly lower than that in the control at both ischemia and reperfusion phases(t=-11.975,P=0.000;t=-11.993,P=0.000,respectively).Conclusions In vivo microdialysis combined with electrochemical detection provides a sensitive and real-time method for measuring the glucose concentration in warm ischemia/reperfusion injured kidney,which can suggest the ischemic condition of the renal cortex.

Objective To evaluate the effect of the expression of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) in tumor tissue on analgesic efficacy of morphine and buprenorphine in advanced cancer patients with pain. Methods One hundred and fifty advanced cancer patients with pain aged 51-64 yr weighing 54-65 kg were included in this study. The expression of P-gp was negative in the tumor tissue in 50 patients (group M1 and B1, n = 25 each) and positive in 100 patients (group M2 ,M3 ,and B2 ,B3, n =25 each). The PCA regimen for the 6 groups were listed in the table .Pain was assessed with VAS scores (0 = no pain, 10 = worst pain) and venous blood samples were taken for determination of blood morphine/buprenorphine concentrations at 4, 12, 24 and 48 h of PCIA. Results The six groups were comparable with respect to age, body weight, M/F sex ratio, types of cancer, baseline pain level and education. The analgesic efficacy of morphine and buprenorphine was better ( VAS scores were significantly lower)in P-gp expression negative patients (group M1 and B1 ) than in P-gp expression positive patients (group M2 and B2 ). Higher doses of morphine and buprenorphine provided better analgesic efficacy in P-gp expression positive patients in group M3 and B3 than in group M2 and B2. Plasma morphine and buprenorphine concentrations were comparable between group M1 , B1 and M2, B2 and were significantly higher in group M3 and B3 at each time point. Conclusion Positive P-gp expression in the tumor tissue can decrease the analgesic efficacy of morphine and buprenorphine in advanced cancer patients with pain.

Objective To evaluate the effect of the expression of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) in the tumor tissue on the analgesic efficacy of fentanyl and lornoxicam in patients with cancer pain. Methods One hundred advanced cancer patients with pain aged 49-64 yr weighing $$-65 kg were included in this study. The expression of Pgp was positive in the tumor tissue in 50 patients (groups F1 and L1, n = 25 each) and negative in 50 patients (groups F2 and L2, n = 25 each). The patients in 4 groups received 48 h of pstient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA). A loading dose of fentanyl 0.05 mg was administered before PCIA was started in groups F1 and F2 .The PCIA solution contained fentanyl 1 mg and droperidol 5 mg in 100 ml of normal saline in groups Ft and F2, or lomoxicam 64 mg and droperidol 5 mg in 100 ml of normal saline in groups L1 and L2. The PCA pump was set to deliver a background infusion of 2 ml/h and a bolus dose of 0.5 ml at 15 min lockout interval. Pain was assessed with VAS scores (0 = no pain, 10 = worst pain), and VAS score was maintained at ≤3 during PCIA. Flurbiprofen 50 mg was injected intravenously when VAS score≥4 and the consumption of flurbiprofen was recorded. The consumption of fentanyl and lornoxicam during PCIA was recorded. Blood samples from the internal jugular vein were taken at the beginning of PCIA (T0), and at 4, 12, 24, 48 h of PCIA (T1-4) for determination of blood fentanyl and lornoxicam concentrations. Results Flurbiprofen was not used in groups F2, L1 and L2. The consumption of flurbiprofen was ( 184 ± 41 ) mg in group F1 . There was no significant difference in the consumption of fentanyl during PCIA between groups F1 and F2 ( P > 0.05). Blood fentanyl concentrations were not detected at all the time points in groups F1 and F2 . The VAS score during PCIA ≤ 3 in groups L1 and L2, and there was no significant difference in blood concentrations of lornoxicam at each time point and the consumption of lornoxicam during PCIA between groups L1 and L2 ( P > 0.05). Conclusion Positive P-gp expression in the tunor tissue can decrease the analgesic efficacy of fentanyl, but exerts no effect on the analgesic efficacy of lornoxicam in patients with cancer pain.

Objective To discuss the application of spectral CT imaging in evaluating the early therapeutic response of 125I seed interstitial brachytherapy for pancreatic carcinoma in experimental nude mice.Methods BxPC-3 human pancreatic cancer cell xenografts were subcutaneously inoculated at the dorsal part of the limbs in 16 BABL/c nude mice. When the tumor developed to the size of 1-1.5 cm, the tumor-bearing mice were randomly divided into the study group (n=8,receiving implantation of 125I seeds of 1.0 mCi) and the control group (n=8,receiving implantation of ghost shell particles of 0 mCi). Two weeks after the procedure, plain spectral CT scan as well as enhanced multiphase (10 s, 25 s and 60 s) spectral CT scan were performed to obtain multi-phasic image series. The contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) and iodine concentration (IC) inside the lesions were determined, and the normalized iodine concentrations (nIC) of tumor were thus obtained. Immunohistochemical staining of tumor was used to measure microvessel density (MVD) within the tumor;the correlation between nIC and MVD was analyzed. Results The lesion's nICs measured on each of three phases (10 s,25 s and 60 s) in the study group were lower than those in the control group, the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). MVD count in the study group was lower than that in the control group, the difference was statistically significant (t=5.957,P<0.01). A parallel linear correlation existed between nIC obtained from each phase of three phases and MVD count (r=0.63,P<0.000 1;r=0.51,P=0.002;and r=0.48,P=0.001 7 for 10 s, 25 s and 60 s phases respectively). Conclusion Spectral CT imaging is an effective method for evaluating the therapeutic effect of 125I seed interstitial brachytherapy for pancreatic carcinoma of experimental mice.

Objective:
To understand the characteristics of injuries among rural children, and to determine the relationships between school-level factors with anxiety among injury-prone children, to provide a reference for making effective measures to prevent and control the injuries.
Methods:
A cross-sectional survey was conducted in the Qingxin District of Qingyuan City. Six primary schools and middle schools were randomly selected from two towns. A total of 5 250 students in grades 3-9 were investigated. Students filled out the questionnaire themselves. Screen for Child Anxiety Related Emotional Disorders (SCARED) was used to assess anxiety.
Results:
Among the 770 rural children who suffered injuries during the past year, the leading cause of injury was falling(44.62%), falling at home(29.61%), getting injuried in low limbs(29.45%), getting injuried by oneself (41.00%) and mainly unintentional injuries(68.66%) . About 35.06% of children reported anxiety symptoms. Approximately 14.94% of children were injury-prone type. Significant differences in educational stage, boarding school, fighting involvement, and somatization/panic between injury-prone children were found in control group(P<0.05). The robust Poisson-GEE model showed that primary school students in high grade and middle grade, fighting with classmates, somatic/panic associated with injury risk (PR value was 2.11, 1.75, 1.58 and 1.58, respectively).
Conclusion
Injury-prone children in rural are affected by school-level factors as well as anxiety symptoms. In addition to safety education, mental health promotion and prevention of school bullying should be adopted in schools.

BACKGROUND:Tauroursodeoxycholic acid is a hydrophilic bile acid derivative that has neuroprotective effects in a variety of neurological disease models.However,there are few reports on the effects of tauroursodeoxycholic acid on spinal cord injury. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of tauroursodeoxycholic acid on apoptosis of spinal cord neurons under hypoglycemic and hypoxic conditions,as well as the effect on recovery of motor function in mice after spinal cord injury. METHODS:(1)In vitro experiment:Primary spinal cord neurons were isolated from C57 BL/6 mouse embryos at 13.5 days of gestation.After 72 hours of culture,the cells were divided into three groups.In the normal group,cells were cultured in Neurobasal complete medium that was incubated in a CO2 incubator(5%CO2 + 95%air)for 24 hours.In the oxyglucose-deprived group,sugar-free Neurobasal medium was added and incubated in a triple-gas incubator(94%N2+5%CO2+1%O2)for 12 hours,and then the medium was replaced with Neurobasal complete medium and incubated in a CO2 incubator for 12 hours.In the experimental group,the treatment procedure was approximately the same as that in the oxyglucose-deprived group,except that taurodeoxycholic acid was added along with the sugar-free Neurobasal medium.TUNEL staining was used to detect apoptosis,cell counting kit-8 assay was applied to detect cell activity,and immunofluorescence staining was performed to detect cellular β-microtubule protein expression.(2)Animal experiment:Sixty C57 BL/6 mice were randomly divided into sham-operated group,spinal cord injury group and experimental group,with 20 mice in each group.Animal models of T9-T10 spinal cord injury were established using Allen's percussion method in the spinal cord injury group and the experimental group.Starting from the 1st day after modeling,taurodeoxycholic acid solution was given by gavage in the experimental group and normal saline was given by gavage in the sham-operated and spinal cord injury groups once a day for 14 consecutive days.Spinal cord tissue repair was assessed using behavioral and histological methods. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:In vitro experiment:TUNEL staining,cell counting kit-8 and immunofluorescence staining showed that compared with the normal group,the number of apoptotic cells was higher(P<0.01),while cell activity and β-microtubule protein expression were lower in the oxyglucose-deprived group(P<0.01);compared with the oxyglucose-deprived group,the number of apoptotic cells was lower(P<0.01),while cell activity and β-microtubule protein expression were higher in the experimental group(P<0.01).Animal experiment:The Basso-Beattie-Bresnahan scores in the open field test and hind limb footprint experiments showed that the mice in the experimental group had better recovery of walking and motor functions than those in the spinal cord injury group.Hematoxylin-eosin staining showed that significant deformities and cavities were observed at the site of spinal cord injury and the number of nerve cells was significantly reduced in the spinal cord injury group.Compared with the spinal cord injury group,the experimental group showed a significant reduction in the area of spinal cord injury,less spinal cord deformity,fewer cavities,and an increase in the number of nerve cells.Immunofluorescence staining showed that the number of neuronal nucleus-labeled neuronal cells in the spinal cord injury group was less than that in the sham-operated group(P<0.01),and the number of neuronal nucleus-labeled neuronal cells in the experimental group was higher than that in the spinal cord injury group(P<0.01).To conclude,tauroursodeoxycholic acid could effectively reduce glucose/oxygen deprivation-induced apoptosis of spinal cord neurons and axonal loss,and promote the recovery of motor function in mice with spinal cord injury.
