International Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine 2011;33(8):681-683
Objective To observe the effects of invigorating qi and promoting blood circulation drugs combined with compound triamcinolone acetonide on the interleukin 2 and tumor necrosis factor in patients with oral lichen planus. Methods 43 patients with oral lichen planus were randomly recurited into two groups by means of random number table.The control group was treated with prednisone orally, 30 mg/d, then reduced to IS mg/d at first two weeks, and further reduced to S mg/d at first three weeks. Maintained the dose for four to eight weeks. While the treatment group was treated with 40 mg compound triamcinolone acetonide at injury area by local injection,which was mixed with 2% lidocaine hydrochloride injection, once a week, continuous therapy for 2 months. Qi regulating and blood activating drugs were also added to the treatment group, with 150ml each time, once a day for 2 months. The clinical symptoms were observed, serum interleukin 2 and tumor necrosis factor were detected before and after the treatment. Results Compared with the control group, serum interleukin 2 and tumor necrosis factor in the treatment group decreased significantly after treatment [IL-2 (2.58± 0.32)ug/L, TNF(156.45+13.67)ng/L,P<0.05]. Serum interleukin 2 and tumor necrosis factor decreased significantly after the treatment in the control group [IL-2(5.21±0.53) μg/L, TNF (205.02±15.75) ng/L,P< 0.05]. The total effective rate of the treatment group and the control group was 86.4% and 66.7% respectively, there was a significant difference (x2=3.321,P<0.05).Conclusion Invigorating qi and promoting blood circulation drugs combined with compound triamcinolone acetonide on oral lichen planus was better than prednisone.

In hippocampus, numerous studies have shown that N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors are essential for the initiation of long-term potentiation (LTP), whereas the expression of LTP is primarily mediated by the phosphorylation of the α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA) receptors and the increased insertion of postsynaptic AMPA receptors. However, in recent years there is also evidence that NMDA receptor channels contribute to the expression of LTP under physiological conditions. It was examined whether NMDA receptor channels contributed to the expression of LTP of C-fiber evoked field potentials in rat spinal dorsal horn by intravenous or spinal application of NMDA receptor antagonists after the establishment of LTP. It was found that MK 801 (a non-competitive NMDA receptor antagonist) at dose of 0.1 mg/kg (iv) had no effect on the spinal LTP and at the dose of 0.5 mg/kg depressed the LTP significantly. However, the inhibitory effect of MK 801 at higher dose (1.0 mg/kg)was not different from that produced by the dose of 0.5 mg/kg. The similar inhibitory effect on spinal LTP was also observed, when MK 801 was applied locally at the recording segments of spinal cord. To confirm the above results, a competitive NMDA receptor antagonist AP V was tested. Spinal application of AP V at a concentration of 100 μmol/L produced a stronger depression than at 50 μmol/L. When the concentration of AP V increased to 200 μmol/L, no further depression was observed. These results indicate that NMDA receptor channels are involved in the expression of LTP of C-fiber evoked field potentials in the rat spinal dorsal horn.

[Objective] To investigate the effect of naringin at different doses on the neuropathie pain produced by lumbar 5 spinal nerve ligafion (L5 SNL). [Methods] Using the method of behavioral test, we tested the 50% paw withdrawal threshold before and after intragastrieal application of naringin in the rats with L5 SNL. [Results] Naringin at 30, 90, 100 mg/kg but not at 10 mg/kg increased the 50% paw withdrawal threshold of 1.5 SNL rats significantly. Single application of Naringin (at 30 or 90 mg/kg) inhibited mechanical allodynia for around 6 hours, and the inhibitory effect persisted for 4 days after the cessation of the drug when naringin (30 mg/kg, daily) was consecutively applied for 7 days. [Conclusion] Intragastrical of naringin could relieve the neuropathic pain produced by peripheral nerve injury.

AIM: The role of external-signal regulated kinaseⅠ/Ⅱ(ERKⅠ/Ⅱ) in the induction and maintenance of spinal long-term potentiation(LTP) is evaluated.METHODS: The C-fiber evoked field potentials were recorded at the superficial layers of spinal dorsal horn at the lumbar enlargement.RESULTS:(1) PD98059(100 ?mol/L) or SL327(200(?mol/L)),a selective MEK inhibitor,completely blocked LTP induction when applied at 30 min prior to tetanic stimulation.(2) PD98059 or SL327 reversed spinal LTP in a time-dependent manner.At 15 min after LTP induction,PD98059(100 ?mol/L) or SL327(200 ?mol/L) reversed LTP completely,and at 30 min after LTP induction,the inhibitory rate of spinal LTP inhibited by PD98059 or SL327 was 62.5% and 75.0%, respectively.At 1 h after LTP induction,however,the same concentration of PD98059 or SL327 did not affect the spinal LTP.CONCLUSION: Activation of ERKⅠ/Ⅱ in spinal dorsal horn may be crucial for the induction and the early-phase maintenance of LTP of C-fiber evoked field potentials.

Objective:
To analyze the influencing factors for bladder cancer in Taizhou,and to provide evidence for strengthening the prevention and treatment of bladder cancer in Taizhou.
Methods :
A total of 500 cases of bladder cancer diagnosed in Taizhou Hospital from 2012 to 2017 were selected as a case group,and 504 patients without tumor or urinary system diseases during the same period were selected as a control group. A structured questionnaire was used to retrospectively investigate the demographic information,occupational exposure(whether they were exposed to aromatic amine,polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons,tobacco,tobacco smoke or heavy metals at work),healthy behaviors and diets of the two groups one year before admission. A Logistic regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors for bladder cancer.
Results :
There was no significant differences in sex,age,ethnicity,education and marital status between the case group and the control group(P > 0.05). Patients with occupational exposure history accounting for 31.60% in the case group and 24.60% in the control group,for overweight/obesity were 37.60% and 31.74%,for smoking were 55.80% and 46.23%,for high vegetable intake frequency were 43.80% and 52.58%,for high fruit intake frequency were 55.40% and 62.70%,for physical activity were 24.60% and 31.75%,respectively. The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that occupational exposure(OR=1.861,95%CI:1.229-2.836),overweight/obesity(OR=1.374,95%CI:1.021-1.863),current smoking(OR=1.664,95%CI:1.101-2.503)and previous smoking(OR=1.454,95%CI:1.016-2.066)were the risk factors for bladder cancer. High vegetable intake frequency(OR=0.731,95%CI:0.566-0.947),high fruit intake frequency(OR=0.659,95%CI:0.463-0.927)and vigorous physical activity(OR=0.566,95%CI:0.403-0.798)were the protective factors for bladder cancer.
Conclusion
Occupational exposure,overweight/obesity,current smoking,previous smoking were the risk factors for bladder cancer. High vegetables intake frequency,high fruit intake frequency and vigorous physical activity were the protective factors for bladder cancer.

Objective To investigate the distribution situation of ABO and Rh blood groups among Zhuang population in Nanning area to guide the scientific voluntary blood donor recruitment and rational storage of blood in this area.Methods 2 052 blood samples from Zhuang population in Nanning area were performed the identification of ABO and Rh blood groups.Whether the gene distributions conforming to the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium principle was assessed by using the Chi-square test.The data was compared with the distribution characteristics in other areas or other minorities.Results The distribution characteristics of ABO blood groups in Nanning area were O > B> A > AB.Blood group O was highest (46.78%)and blood group AB was lowest (4.34%).The gene frequencies of A,B and O were 0.131 9,0.181 5 and 0.686 6,respectively.The blood groups distribution con-formed to the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium principle;the RhD positive proportion(RhD+ )in Zhuang population was 99.90%,while the RhD negative (RhD- )proportion was 0.10%,which was lower than that in Han population.No phenotypes of ccdE,CcdE, CCdee,CCdE,CCDEE and ccDee were observed in this study.Conclusion The distribution of the ABO and Rh blood groups among Zhuang population in Nanning still maintains their own exclusive characteristics.The extremely low proportion of RhD- will bring about serious difficulties to the patients with long term blood transfusion.
