Objective To evaluate the role of p38 MAPK signal transduction pathway in dexmedetomidine against neurotoxicity induced by bupivacaine.Methods Seventy-two adult male SD rats,successfully implanted with intrathecal catheter without complications,were randomly divided into 6 groups: control group (group C);p38MAPK inhibitor group(group SB);dexmedetomidine group (group D);bupivacaine group (group B);dexmedetomidine and bupivacaine group (group DB);p38MAPK inhibitor and bupivacaine group (group SBB).DMSO 20 μl were injected intrathecally in group C;p38MAPK inhibitor 30 μg and 5% bupivacaine were respectively injected intrathecally in group SB and B;group DB and SBB were respectivel pretreated with dexmedetomidine 75 μg/kg intraperitoneally and p38MAPK inhibitor 30 μg intrathecal injection 20 min before intrathecally injected 5% bupivacaine.Dexmedetomidine 75 μg/kg was injected intraperitoneally in group D.Mechanical withdrawal threshold (MWT) and thermal withdrawal latency (TWL) were measured before intrathecal catheter was implanted (T0),before intrathecal administration (T1) and at 4,8 and 12 h and on 1,2,3,4,5 and 6 days after intrathecal administration (T2-T10).At 24 h after intrathecal administration,6 rats were randomly chosen from each group and sacrificed.The lumbar segment (L4-5) of the spinal cord was removed for detecting neuronal apoptosis (by TUNEL) and phosporylated p38MAPK(p-p38MAPK) expression (by Western blot).Results Compared with T0,MWT was significantly increased and TWL was prolonged at T2-T9 in group B,MWT at T2-T7 was significantly increased and TWL at T2-T6 was prolonged in group DB,MWT was significantly increased and TWL was prolonged at T2-T5 in group SBB (P<0.05).Compared with group C,no significant difference was found in MWT,TWL,the apoptotic index and expression of p-p38MAPK in groups D and SB.MWT was significantly increased and TWL was prolonged at T2-T9 in group B,the apoptotic index and expression of p-p38MAPK were significantly increased in group B (P<0.05).Compared with group B,MWT and TWL at T2-T9,the apoptotic index and expression of p-p38MAPK were significantly decreased in groups DB and SBB (P<0.05).Conclusion Dexmedetomidine can inhibit spinal neurotoxicity induced by bupivacaine in rats via inhibiting apoptosis in spinal cord,and inhibition of p38 MAPK signal transduction pathway may be involved in the underlying mechanism.

A capillary electrophoretic method was developed for the separation of enantiomers of naphthylgly-cidic ether(NGE). Several cyclodextrins(CDs) were applied as the chiral selectors and it was found that the ionic modified highly sulfated cyclodextrin(HS-β-CD) could give satisfactory enantioselectivity. In addition,the effects of the pH value of the buffer system,the concentration of the HS-β-CD,capillary temperature and the running voltage on the chiral separation were investigated systematically. The result showed that under the optimized conditions of pH 2. 5,20 mmol/L H_3PO_4-triethanolamine buffer containing 2% highly sulfated cyclodextrin ( HS-β-CD) at capillary temperature 20℃ in the reversed polarity voltage of - 18 kV,the enantiomers of naphthylglycidic ether were baseline separated. This method is simple,precise and can be applied to the chiral separation of naphthylglycidic ether enantiomers and determination of enantiomers excess(ee,% ).

Objective:To know about the prevalence of depression,anxiety,and suicidal behaviors among newly diagnosed HIV-positive men who have sex with men.Methods:A cross-sectional study with a consecutive sample was conducted in the HIV/AIDS Voluntary Counseling and Testing Clinic of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention.A standard set of questionnaires,namely,the Patient Health Questionnaire Depression Scale (PHQ9),Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale (GAD-7),and a self-designed suicidal behavior questionnaire were used to assess the subjects'emotional problems.Results:Among 321 newly diagnosed HIV-positive men who had sex with men,the positive rate of depression and anxiety were 41.1％ (132/321) and 31.5％ (101/321),respectively.The rate suicidal ideation after HIV diagnosis was 27.7％ (89/321).Individuals who were living with others,had HIV related clinical symptoms,higher HIV/AIDS related stress,and lower social support were more likely to have positive depressive symptoms.Individuals who were unmarried,had lower HIV/AIDS related stress,and lower social support were more likely to have positive anxiety.The prevalence of suicidal ideation after HIV diagnosis was higher among individuals who were unwilling to join in HIV/AIDS support groups,had HIV related clinical symptoms,higher HIV/AIDS related stress,lower social support,and both positive depression and anxiety symptoms.Conclusion:The prevalence of emotional problems is high among newly diagnosed HIV-positive men who have sex with men.It is warranted to promote mental health service for this vulnerable group.

Purpose To evaluate the value of real-time contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) combined with comparative observation in determining the initial time of peripheral lung lesion,and to provide a new method for the diagnosis of peripheral lung disease by CEUS.Materials and Methods Sixty patients with peripheral lung disease diagnosed by chest X-ray or CT examination were examined by CEUS,and the lesions and perfusion of surrounding lung tissue were observed in real time and comparatively.The time of initial enhancement of peripheral lung lesion was determined by real-time comparative observation method,that is,to compare the time of contrast agent to reach the peripheral lung lesion with the time to reach the adjacent gas-containing lung tissue.All lesion specimens were obtained by surgery or ultrasound-guided percutaneous biopsy,and the pathological diagnosis was performed.According to the pathological results,the peripheral lung lesions were classified into the malignant group,the chronic inflammation group and the pneumonia group.Results Sixty cases of peripheral lung lesions were identified as 38 cases of malignant tumors (including 15 cases ofsquamous cell carcinomas,9 cases of adenocarcinoma cell carcinomas,2 cases of large cell carcinomas,9 cases of small cell carcinomas and 3 cases of metastatic carcinomas),14 cases of chronic inflammation lesions (including 7 cases of tuberculomas,3 cases of inflammatory pseudotumors and 4 cases of lung abscess) and 8 cases of pneumonia.The detection rates of pulmonary arterial phase and bronchial artery phase using the real-time comparative observation method were 100％ (60/60) and 85％ (51/60),respectively.The initial time of pulmonary arterial phase and bronchial artery phase were (6.1 ± 0.9) s and (10.5 ± 1.6) s,respectively.The initial time of pulmonary arterial phase was sooner than bronchial artery phase,the difference was statistical significance (P＜0.05).Conclusion The real-time CEUS combined with comparative observation method has important diagnostic value in judging the initial enhancement time of peripheral lung lesion and can provide a new method for the accurate diagnosis of peripheral lung disease,which is worth popularizing.

Objective To discuss the effects and related mechanisms of rapamycin preconditioning on lung injury induced by limb ischemia-reperfusion (IR) in rats.Methods Sixty healthy male SD rats, aged 4-5 months, weighing 250-300 g, were randomly divided into 5 groups (n=12 each) using a random number table: sham operation group (group S);limb ischemia-reperfusion group (group IR);rapamycin 1, 5, 10 mg/kg pretreatment groups (groups R1, R5 and R10).Ischemia-reperfusion of limb was produced by occlusion of bilateral femoral arteries for 2 h followed by 3 h reperfusion.Blood samples were collected to determine serum superoxide dismutase (SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) concentrations,1ungs were removed for microscopic examination and for determination of wet/dry lung weight ratio.Results The activity of SOD in groups IR, R1 and R5 was significantly lower than that in group S (P＜0.05).The activity of SOD in groups R1, R5 and R10 was significantly higher than that in group IR, that in groups R5 and R10 was significantly higher than that in group R1, that in group R10 was significantly higher than that in the group R5 (P＜0.05).Serum MDA, IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α concentrations and wet/dry lung weight ratio were significantly increased in groups IR, R1 and R5 (P＜0.05).Serum MDA, IL-1β, IL-6,TNF-α concentrations and wet/dry lung weight ratio were lower in groups R1, R5 and R10, those in groups R5 and R10 were significantly lower than those in group R1, those in group R10 was significantly lower than those in group R5 (P＜0.05).Compared with group S, the lung tissue injured more significantly in group IR.Compared with group IR, the lung tissue injury gradually reduced in groups R1,R5 and R10.Conclusion Rapamycin pretreatment can reduce lung injury caused by limb ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats in a dose-dependent manner, the greater the dose, the stronger the effect of reducing lung injury caused by limb ischemia-reperfusion injury.The mechanisms may involve attenuating oxidative stress and inhibiting inflammatory response.
