BACKGROUND:Studies have shown that the application of electrical stimulation of peripheral nerve fibers can recover partial muscle functions due to the loss of central nervous control.
OBJECTIVE:To verify the feasibility of selective nerve excitatory effectively used the symmetric biphasic pulses under the bipolar electrodes stimulation of 1 mm.
METHODS:Eight adult Wistar rats were selected to expose the sciatic nerves after anesthesia and then the electrodes were placed on the sciatic nerves careful y to establish the model of selective nerve stimulation. Experimental electrode was homemade Cuff bipolar electrode, and the electrode stimulators were Grass S88
stimulator and AWG2005 arbitrary waveform signal generator. The two-way dual-electrode stimulation was used. The distance between two electrodes was 1 mm, and the stimulation waveform was symmetric biphasic pulse
with the width of 0.2 ms. The output pulse amplitude, pulse width and delay could be adjusted. The stimulation
intensity was adjusted, and the law of nerve excitability was detected under two-way dual-electrode stimulation, in order to achieve selective nerve excitability, and the feasibility of two-way dual-electrode stimulation to achieve
selective nerve excitatory was verified with“col ision”method.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The change of nerve action potential was amplified by P511 amplifier and then linked into oscil oscope for displaying, and dual-electrode stimulation waveform was the symmetric biphasic pulse with the width of 0.2 ms. With the increasing of stimulus amplitude, we achieved the selective nerve excitatory. The results indicate the selective nerve excitatory can be achieved with the closed (1 mm) dual-electrode symmetric pulse, and the feasibility and effectiveness of this method can be verified with“col ision”principle.

Objective To explore the effects of different body positions at the expiratory phase thinsection multi-slice spiral CT on the diagnosis of pulmonary air trapping after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation(allo-HSCT).Methods Thirty-one allo-HSCT patients underwent the expiratory phase low-dose MSCT lung scanning at supine and prone positions to detect whether they have air trapping lesion,the volume percent of air trapping region (CT value ≤-700 HU at expiratory phase) against the whole lung was measured by using GE workstation after grading.Statistical analysis on lesion detection rate was performed with McNemar test and volume percent with rank sum test.Results Air trapping regions were observed in 8 patients (25.8％,8/31) who performed CT scan at the supine position,while 15 cases (48.4％,15/31)were positive for prone position CT scan.Seven cases showed positive results at both body positions.Statistical significance in the positive detection rate at supine and prone positions was found (x2 =4.00,P =0.039).The volume fraction of the two positions was 13 for supine position and 21 for prone position with statistical significance (Z =-3.37,P =0.001).Sensitivity at prone position CT scan to detect air trapping was much higher than that at supine position CT scan.Conclusion For allo-HSCT patients with chronic rejection reaction,performing expiratory phase thin-section CT scan and prone position scan can not only improve the detection rate of lung forepart lesions,but also preliminarily evaluate the severity of the air trapping,which can provide a basis for the early diagnosis and treatment in clinics.

Objective To identify new microsatellite loci from genome sequence database for the study of poly-morphicsm of Schistosoma japonicum. Methods Schistosoma japonicum isolates were obtained from seven endemic sites in China: Tongling and Guichi counties of Anhui Province, Duchang county of Jiangxi Province, Changde and Yueyang Cities of Hunan Province, Shashi City of Hubei Province, Xichang City of Sichuan Province. In order to study the genetic variance, genomic DNAs of 96 individual adult worms were screened against 17 new Schistosoma japonicum microsatellites and the raw data were analyzed by GenMapper 4.0. Furthermore, the varieties of alleles were inverstigated using GenAlEx 6 and genetic distances within a subpopulation (GenClone) and among populations(UPGMA, MEGA 3.1) were analyzed. Results High levels of polymorphism were found between and within population samples, and significant genetic diversity was observed among the seven subpopulations.Within Jiangxi population, most genetic distances (17 loci) among samples range from 25 to 32, indicating a significant genetic diversity. There are three clusters among the seven populations: Jiangxi, Tonglin, Shashi and Changde population, with the genetics distances ranging from 0.017 8 to 0.036 3; Guichi and Yueyang population belong to another cluster, with the genetic distance of 0.024 7; However, Xichang population is an unique group. Its genetic distances to other populations are notable with a range from 0.019 2 to 0.069 3. Conclusion The 17 new polymorphic microsatellites identified may be used as suitable markers for the study on population genetics of Schistosoma japonicum and the genetic variance of the worms seems to be complicated.

Objective To explore the relationship between sudomotor function and peripheral artery disease (PAD),and to evaluate the effectiveness of sudomotor function testing to screen diabetic patients at high risk of PAD comparing to ankle-brachial index (ABI) and toe-brachial index (TBI).Methods A total of 263 diabetes mellitus (DM) outpatients in the 306th Hospital of PLA from August 2014 to April 2015 were enrolled in the study.ABI and TBI were measured by the Doppler method.Sudomotor function was evaluated by measuring the electrochemical skin conductance (ESC) of the hands and feet using the Sudoscan instrument.Cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (CAN) was assessed and recorded as cardiac autonomic neuropathy risk-score (CAN-RS) by Sudoscan.Results ESC values of the feet and hands were positively correlated with ABI and TBI.The diabetes patients with abnornal ABI and TBI had significantly lower hand ESC [(45.63±12.87) μS vs.(68.10±17.40) μS,(59.17±19.58) μS vs.(68.57±17.11) μS;P＜ 0.05] and feet ESC [(44.54±25.48) μS vs.(70.92±19.46) μS,(59.21±24.52) μS vs.(71.71±19.02) μS;P＜ 0.05],and higher CAN-RS[(49.17± 15.41)％ vs.(36.33±16.25)％,(44.90±16.09)％ vs.(35.39±16.05)％;P＜ 0.05],than diabetes patients with normal ABI and TBI.Using ABI as the gold standard,the areas under the receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve of the diagnostic performance of hands ESC,feet ESC and CAN-RS to identify PAD were 0.87,0.84 and 0.74,respectively (P＜0.001).Conclusion Sudomotor function testing can be helpful and beneficial to identify PAD in patients with diabetes.

Objective:To explore the regulatory effect of Suaeda salsa on renal apoprosis inhibitor of macrophage (AIM) and macrophage polarization in diabetes kidney disease (DKD) model rats.Methods:A DKD rat model was established using a high-sugar and high-fat diet combined with intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (STZ). The rats were divided into model group, metformin group, and Suaeda salsa high-, medium-, and low-dosage groups using a random number table method, with 8 mice in each group. The normal group was set with 8 rats in this group. The metformin group was given 85.71 mg/kg of metformin solution by gavage, while the Suaeda salsa high-, medium-, and low-dosage groups were given 3.08, 1.54, and 0.77 g/kg of Suaeda salsa suspension by gavage (raw dosage). The normal group and model group were given equal volumes of saline by gavage, once a day, administered by gavage for 12 weeks of intervention. Fasting blood glucose (FBG) and glucose tolerance (OGTT) were measured, and the area under the curve (AUC) was calculated; the levels of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and glycosylated serum protein (GSP) were detected; urea nitrogen (BUN), serum creatinine (SCr), and 24-hour urine protein (24 hUP) were detected; HE staining was used to observe the pathological morphology of the kidneys; Masson and PAS staining were used to observe renal tissue fibrosis; Western blot method was used for detecting AIM, CD206, CD86, TNF-α and IL-10 protein levels in renal tissue; Immunofluorescence was used to detect the average optical density values of AIM, CD206, and CD86 proteins in renal tissue.Results:Compared with the model group, the FBG, OGTT AUC, HbA1c, GSP of each dosage group of Suaeda salsa decreased ( P<0.01); the expression levels of AIM, CD206, and IL-10 proteins in renal tissue increased ( P<0.01 or P<0.05), while the expression levels of CD86 and TNF-α protein significantly decreased ( P<0.01 or P<0.05); HE, Masson, and PAS staining results showed that compared with the model group, the changes in renal microvasculature and renal fibrosis of rats in each dosage group of Suaeda salsa were improved. Conclusion:Suaeda salsa may regulate AIM, promote polarization of M2 macrophages, improve the inflammatory microenvironment of macrophages, thereby lowering blood lipids of DKD rats, and improving renal pathological damage.
