Objective To evaluate the effect of dexmedetomidine on noise-induced hearing loss in guinea pigs.Methods Twenty-four adult male guinea pigs,aged 3 months,weighing 400-500 g,were randomly divided into 3 groups (n =8 each) using a random number table:dexmedetomdine group (group D),noise-induced hearing loss group (group N) and dexmedetomidine + noise-induced hearing loss group (group DN).A loading dose of dexmedetomidine 5 μg/kg was infused over 5 min,followed by 135 min of infusion at a rate of 10 μg· kg-1 · h-1.The equal volume of normal saline was infused in group N.Groups N and DN were exposed to noise of 4 kHz center frequency and 118-122 dB SPL for 120 min starting from 20 min of administration.Mean arterial pressure (MAP) and cochlear blood flow (COBF) were recorded before administration and every 5 min during drug administration.The changing rate of COBF was calculated.Arterial blood samples were collected for determination of plasma concentration of noradrenaline (NE) by high performance liquid chromatography at 20 and 140 min of administration.Auditory brainstem response (ABR) threshold was recorded before administration and at 1 and 72 h and 10 days after the end of administration.Results Compared with group N,MAP was significantly decreased,the changing rate of COBF was increased at 5-10 min and 30-140 min of administration,ABR threshold was decreased at 1 and 72 h and 10 days after the end of administration,and the plasma concentration of NE was decreased at 140 min of administration in D + N group (P < 0.05).Conclusion Dexmedetomidine can attenuate noise-induced hearing loss in guinea pigs possibly through inhibiting activation of sympathetic nerves and increasing COBF.

Epidemics of hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) have mainly been caused by Coxsackievirus A16 (CVA16) and Enterovirus A 71 (EV-A71), which circulated alternatively or together in the affected area. CVA16 has caused numerous outbreaks and epidemics in multiple countries and geographical regions, and has become an important public health problem. Based on an analysis of the complete VP1 coding region, all CVA16 strains can be divided into genotypes A, B1, and B2. Furthermore, genotype B1 can be divided into subgenotypes B1a, B1b, and B1c. After 2000, no reports of genotype B2 virus strains have been reported. All of the CVA16 strains reported in mainland China have belonged to subgenotypes B1a and B1b. Most CVA16-associated infections cause only mild symptoms; however, some CVA16 infections can lead to severe complications and even death. Vaccination is considered to be the most effective method to control the transmission and infection rate of this virus. A number of research groups are studying various vaccine types, including inactivated vaccines, genetic engineering vaccines, and DNA vaccines, amongst others. In this review, an overview is provided of the research advances in molecular epidemiology and vaccines of CVA16.

Objective To observe the effect of Zhibo Dihuang Pill(ZDP) on leptin-induced idiopathic central precocious puberty(ICPP) in mice.Methods Eighteen BALB/c female mice aged 18 months were randomized into 6 groups: normal group,model group,high-and low-dose ZDP groups(at the dose of 101.4 and 50.7 g?kg-1?d-1 respectively),and megestrol acetate(3.9 mg?kg-1?d-1)group and gonadotropin releasing hormone analogues(GnRH-A) group(at the first dose of 1573.5 ?g/kg,the second and the third dose of 1180 ?g/kg,once every other day).Except the normal group,the mice in other groups received intraperitoneal injection of leptin 20mg/kg to establish ICPP model.After treatment,the vaginal opening,body weight,uterus weight and ovaries weight as well as the serum levels of luteinizing hormone(LH),estrogen(E2) were detected.Meanwhile,the uterus index and ovaries index were also examined.Results High-dose ZDP had an inhibition on the advance of vaginal opening induced by leptin after modeling for 4~6 days(P0.05).Conclusion The therapeutic effect of ZDP for ICPP is probably related with the inhibition of the advance of hypothalamic-pituitary-gonad axis activation.

Objective:To investigate the clinicopathological characteristics and influencing factors of kidney prognosis in primary IgA nephropathy (IgAN) patients.Methods:The data of primary IgAN patients diagnosed with renal biopsy in the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University from January 2015 to September 2019 were retrospective analyzed. According to the level of baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) when performing renal biopsy, the patients were divided into group A[eGFR≥90 ml·min -1·(1.73 m 2) -1], group B[eGFR 61-89 ml·min -1·(1.73 m 2) -1] and group C[eGFR≤60 ml·min -1·(1.73 m 2) -1]. The clinical and pathological data were collected and compared among the three groups. Kaplan-Meier method was conducted for renal results, whereas the Cox proportional-hazards regression model was exploited to analyze the influencing factors of kidney prognosis in IgAN patients. Results:A total of 742 patients were included in the study, including 394 cases (53.1%) in group A, 203 cases (27.4%) in group B, and 145 cases (19.5%) in group C. There were 325 males (43.8%) and 417 females (56.2%). The median duration of renal biopsy was 6 (1, 24) months, and the median age was 36 years old (18-68 years old). As the baseline level of renal function decreased, the proportion of patients with nephrotic syndrome, hypertension, anemia and hyperuricemia and the levels of 24 h urinary protein, serum triglyceride and total cholesterol increased significantly (all P<0.05), while the proportion of gross hematuria episodes and the ratio of serum albumin to globulin significantly decreased (all P<0.05). For the aspect of pathological manifestations, the proportions of cell proliferation in capillaries (E1), segmental sclerosis or adhesion (S1), renal tubular atrophy or interstitial fibrosis (T1/2), globular sclerosis, renal arteriole wall thickening and vitreous degeneration, Lee's grade Ⅳ and Ⅴ increased with the decrease of baseline renal function (all P<0.05). Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that the cumulative renal survival rate decreased with the decline of baseline renal function (Log-rank χ2=88.510, P<0.001). As a result of multivariate Cox regression analysis, nephrotic syndrome ( HR=2.399, 95% CI 1.054-5.459, P=0.037), hypertension ( HR=1.806, 95% CI 1.071-3.048, P=0.027), low baseline eGFR (taking group A as the reference, group B: HR=2.383, 95% CI 1.053-5.392, P=0.037; group C: HR=6.878, 95% CI 3.074-15.393, P<0.001), IgG deposition ( HR=2.224, 95% CI 1.384-3.574, P=0.001) and globular sclerosis ( HR=2.075, 95% CI 1.230-3.501, P=0.006) were the independent influencing factors for renal progression in primary IgAN patients. Conclusions:The level of baseline renal function in primary IgAN patients can be used to predict the extent of clinic-pathological damage. Nephrotic syndrome, hypertension, low baseline eGFR, IgG deposition and globular sclerosis are the independent influencing factors for renal progression in primary IgAN patients.
