1.Advances in the Proteomics Research on Neuropathic Pain (review)
Chinese Journal of Rehabilitation Theory and Practice 2009;15(4):341-344
Neuropathic pain is an intractable pain condition that initiated or caused by a primary lesion or dysfunction in the nervous system. Because the underlying molecular mechanisms of neuropathic pain are largely unknown, routine pharmacologic treatment is often insufficient. It has become a rather tough problem bothering both physicians and patients. Recently, with the development of molecular biology, the study of neuropathic pain stepped into the post-genomic period which is characterized by study of proteome. A number of proteomic studies have been performed using different animal neuropathy models. The Results of these proteomic approaches are summarized in this review to provide a better overview of proteins that are involved in the mechanisms of neuropathic pain. This might allow a better understanding of the pathogenesis of neuropathic pain, and facilitate the discovery of specific therapies and new treatment target.

Objective To compare the hemodynamic responses to orotracheal intubation with GlideScope video laryngoscope (GSVL), Macintosh laryngoscope (MDLS) and fiberoptic bronchoscope (FOB) .Methods Sixty ASAⅠorⅡpatients (21 male, 39 female) aged 18-50 yrs weighing 45-90 kg scheduled for elective plastic surgery under general anesthesia with tracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation were randomly divided into 3 groups ( n = 20 each): GSVL group; MDLS group and FOB group. The patients were premedicated with intramuscular scopolamine 0.3 mg. Anesthesia was induced with midazolam 0.05 mg?kg-1 , fentanyl 2?g?kg-1 , propofol 2 mg?kg-1 and vecuronium 0.1 mg?kg-1 and maintained with 1% isoflurane and 60% N2O-40% O2 . Orotracheal intubation was performed at 2 min after intravenous vecuronium. Noninvasive BP and HR were recorded before and after induction of anesthesia, during tracheal intubation and at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 min after tracheal intubation was completed. The HR and SBP product (RPP) was calculated. Results The intubation time was significantly longer in FOB group than in MDLS group (P

Objective:To study the protective effects of Danhong injection ( DH) on myocardial damage induced by doxorubicin ( DOX) in Lewis tumor bearing mice. Methods:The model of Lewis lung cancer in mice was established by underarm injecting tumor cells, and then randomly divided into four groups:the model control group, DOX group, DH group and DH+DOX group. After the experiment, myocardial and tumor tissue were separated from Lewis tumor bearing mice, and the excised tumors were weighted. The activities of lactate dehydrogenase ( LDH) , creatine kinase ( CK) , manganese superoxide dismutase ( SOD) , catalase ( CAT) and glu-tathione peroxidase ( GPx) , and the content of malondialdehyde ( MDA) were determined by a colorimetric method. Flow cytometry was used to determine the levels of apoptosis, reactive oxygen species (ROS) and mitochondrial membrane potential (△Ψm). Re-sults:Compared with that in the model control group, a significant decrease of tumor weight was shown in both DOX group and DH+DOX group (P<0. 01). DH had no significant influence on the anticancer function of DOX. The activity of LDH and CK, and the ap-optosis in myocardium cells significantly increased (P<0. 01). Compared with DOX group, the activities of LDH and CK, and the ap-optosis significantly decreased in DH+DOX group (P<0. 01). The activities of △Ψm, SOD, CAT and GPx significantly increased (P<0.05orP<0.01). ThecontentofMDAandROSgenerationbothdecreased(P<0.01).Conclusion:DHhasnosignificantin-fluence on the antitumor effect of DOX. The combination of DH and DOX shows cadioprotective effect on the myocardial damage through improving mitochondrial antioxidant defense capacity, ameliorating oxidative stress and maintaining △Ψm homeostasis.
