Objective To observe the changes on the neurogenic inflammation-related factors in the dura mater of the rat model of migraine and investigate the possible mechanism of the pain of migraine.Methods SD rats were randomly divided into stimulation group ( n = 32 ) and sham group ( n = 32 ).Unilateral trigeminal ganglion was stimulated to induce migraine for rats in the stimulation group. Rats in the sham group were subjected to sham surgery. The levels of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) in the blood of jugular vein in the stimulation side were measured by radioimmunoassay. The levels of histamine in peripheral blood and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2 ) in the dura mater were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The number of mast cells and percentage of their degranulation in the dura mater were determined under a microscope after toluidine blue staining. Cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2)expression in the dura mater was evaluated by immunohistochemical staining and western blot analysis. Results In the stimulation group, the level of CGRP in the ipsilateral jugular vein was (82. 84 ± 16. 24)pg/ml and in the sham group was (59. 20 ±11.66) pg/ml (t = -3.34, P ＜ 0. 05 ). The level of histamine in the ipsilateral jugular vein was ( 11.59 ± 1.20) ng/ml and in the sham group was (9. 87 ±0. 88) ng/ml (t = - 3. 27, P ＜ 0. 05). The number of mast cells in the dura mater decreased from 15.46 ± 2. 40 in the stimulation group to 11.63 ± 1.67 in the sham group ( t = 3.71, P ＜ 0. 05 ). Degranulation of mast cells in the dura mater significantly increased from 14. 09% ±4. 53% in the sham group to 29. 10% ±9. 39% in the stimulation group (t = - 4. 07, P ＜ 0. 05 ). The level of PGE2 in the stimulation group was ( 382. 30 ±20. 90) pg/ml and in the sham group was (80. 70 ± 10. 60) pg/ml (t = - 16. 674, P ＜0. 05). The number of COX-2 positive cells significantly increased from 42. 00 ± 18.40 in the sham group to 139.00 ±20. 50 in the stimulation group (t = -7. 994, P ＜0. 05). Also the COX-2 protein level was elevated from 19. 50 ±9. 20 in the sham group to 359. 20 ±21.90 in the stimulation group (t = -5. 190, P ＜0. 05). Conclusions Electrical stimulation on the unilateral trigeminal ganglion induces neurogenic inflammation in the dura mater. Changes on the neurogenic inflammation-related factors are probably the essential pathophysiological mechanism underlying the pain in migraine.

Abstract：Objective To investigate the morphological features of the Pneumocystis jirovecii, in order to facilitate early detection and rapid diagnosis of this rare pathogen from a morphology point of view by laboratory technicians. By analyzing the laboratory features and application value of different pathogen detection methods in the diagnosis of Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia, we aim to provide the most reliable diagnostic basis for rapid diagnosis of Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the test results of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid samples from a comprehensive hospital in Zhangqiu District, Jinan City, Shandong Province, and a hospital in Changde City from April 2022 to October 2022. Five confirmed cases of Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia were detected. Its clinical manifestations, laboratory results, and morphological characteristics of pathogens under different stains were analyzed to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of different detection methods. Results Cytological examination of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid found the trophozoites and cysts of Pneumocystis jirovecii by Wright's-Giemsa staining in 4 cases (80%), and the cysts of Pneumocystis jirovecii by Silver hexamine staining in 4 cases (80%), while the metagenomic next-generation sequencing confirmed all the 5 positive results. All 5 patients had different degrees of reduction in the absolute count of peripheral blood lymphocytes, and the serum lactic dehydrogenase and (1-3)-β-D-Glucan were increased. Among the 5 patients in this study, 4 were treated with sulfamethoxazole combined with caspofungin, and 1 was treated with sulfamethoxazole. Three patients were cured and discharged from hospital after treatment, but two died. Conclusions The method of Wright's-Giemsa staining for the cytological examination of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid to find Pneumocystis jirovecii has the unique and irreplaceable advantages as silver staining. Metagenomic next-generation sequencing can further increase the positive detection rate of Pneumocystis jirovecii. The combination of cytological examination of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid with metagenomic nextgeneration sequencing is a powerful diagnostic method for rapid diagnosis of Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia, which can diagnose accurately and reduce missed diagnosis.

Objective To investigate the value of three-dimensional speckle tracking imaging (3D-STI) in assessment of left ventricular (LV) strains. Methods Thirty healthy young adults examined by two-dimensional speckle tracking imaging (2D-STI) and 3D-STI. And the results of LV measurements were compared, which included mean peak systolic longitudinal strains, radial strains and circumferential strains. Also, the time consumption of these two methods was compared. Results The time needed for 3D-STI in acquisition and analysis of the images were (309.3±23.4)s, (305.5±11.2)s, while the time for 2D-STI were (490.6±14.4)s, (1261.4±39.9)s. The differences were signiifcant(t=-21.81, 69.94, both P<0.01). The global mean peak systolic radial strains was (48.59±7.68)%by 3D-STI and (33.25±7.27)%by 2D-STI. The difference was signiifcant(t=9.16, P<0.01). The global mean peak systolic longitudinal and circumferential strains were (-17.66±3.14)%, (-17.13±2.29)% by 3D-STI and (-21.35±2.46)%, (-21.97±3.84)% by 2D-STI. The differences were signiifcant(t=5.33, 5.99, both P < 0.01). The 3D-STI strains were different at different levels of LV. The longitudinal, circumferential and radial 3D-STI strains were largest at middle levels. However, 2D-STI strains didn′ t show such trend. Peak strains measured by 3D-STI and 2D-STI showed high inter-observer and intra-observer agreement in Bland-Altman chart. Conclusion 3D-STI is a novel, convenient and reproducible method to evaluate the strains of LV.
