Objective To investigate the effects of propofol on mesenteric artery in SD rats and to observe whether the effect of propofol on the mesenteric artery relaxation is related to the gap. Methods Pressure myograph was used to examine the effect of 18β-GA and 2-APB on the relaxation induced by propofol 1×10 -7 ,3×10 -7 ,1×10 -6 ,3×10 -6 ,1 ×10 -5 ,3 ×10 -5 ,1 ×10 -4 and 3 ×10 -4 mol/L in acutely separated mesenteric arterioles of SD rat.Results The diameter of mesenteric arteri-oles were increased from (208.6±13.4)to (213.5±13.6),(21 9.7±13.2),(226.4±12.5),(234.9 ±12.3),(245.5±13.0),(267.4±1 5.2),(336.2±18.3)and (385.9 ±14.2)μm after application of 1×10 -7 ,3×10 -7 ,1 × 10 -6 ,3 × 10 -6 ,1 × 10 -5 ,3 × 10 -5 ,1 × 10 -4 and 3 × 10 -4 mol/L propofol,re-spectively.Propofol induced dilation of the rat mesenteric arterioles in a concentration-dependent man-ner (P < 0.01 ).After pretreatment with 18β-GA and 2-APB,1 × 10 -4 mol/L propofol induced dilation was absolutely decreased (P <0.01).Conclusion These results suggest that propofol relaxes mesenteric arterioles via gap junction.

Objective:To explore the molecular pathogenesis of a family with hereditary factor Ⅴ (FⅤ) deficiency.Methods:All the exons, flanking sequences, 5′ and 3′ untranslated regions of the F5 of the proband, and the corresponding mutation sites of the family members were analyzed via direct DNA sequencing. The CAT measurement was used to detect the amount of thrombin produced. The ClustalX software was used to analyze the conservation of mutation sites. The online bioinformatics software, Mutation Taster, PolyPhen-2, PROVEAN, LRT, and SIFT were applied to predict the effects of mutation sites on protein function. The Swiss-PdbViewer software was used to analyze the changes in the protein model and intermolecular force before and after amino acid variation.Results:The proband had a heterozygous missense mutation c.1258G>T (p.Gly392Cys) in exon 8 of the F5, and a heterozygous deletion mutation c.4797delG (p.Glu1572Lys fsX19) in exon 14, which results in a frameshift and produces a truncated protein. Her grandfather and father had p.Gly392Cys heterozygous variation, whereas her maternal grandmother, mother, little aunt, and cousin all had p.Glu1572LysfsX19 heterozygous variation. The ratio of proband's thrombin generation delay to peak time was significantly increased. Conservation analysis results showed that p.Gly392 was located in a conserved region among the 10 homologous species. Five online bioinformatics software predicted that p.Gly392Cys was pathogenic, and Mutation Taster also predicted p.Glu1572Lys fsX19 as a pathogenic variant. Protein model analysis showed that the replacement of Gly392 by Cys392 can lead to the extension of the original hydrogen bond and the formation of a new steric hindrance, which affected the stability of the protein structure.Conclusion:The c.1258G>T heterozygous missense mutation in exon 8 and the c.4797delG heterozygous deletion mutation in exon 14 of the F5 may be responsible for the decrease of FⅤ levels in this family.

Objective:To summarize and evaluate the domestic and foreign evidence on the intervention and management of neuropathic pain in patients with spinal cord injury, so as to provide evidence-based basis for clinical nursing staff.Methods:According to "6S" evidence model of evidence pyramid, computer evidence retrieval was carried out. Expert consensus and evidence summary quality assessment used the corresponding evaluation criteria of JBI evidence-based Health Care Centers (2016), while evidence-based guidelines quality used AGREE Ⅱinstrument, and high quality evidence was extracted.Results:A total of 6 articles, including 5 guidelines and 1 expert consensus, were included in this study. A total of 22 pieces of evidence were extracted, including the assessment, intervention measures, feedback, education and nursing model of neuropathic pain in patients with spinal cord injury.Conclusion:This study summarizes the evidence for the intervention and management of pathologic pain in spinal cord injury, which can provide scientific basis for clinical nursing staff. As the evidence summarized in this study comes from many countries, sufficient evaluation of clinical environment and other related factors should be conducted before application to promote the quality of nursing.

OBJECTIVE:
To study the correlation between dosage and curative effect of blood coagulation factor VIII in the prevention and treatment of haemophilia A in children and to determine the suitable dose for prevention of hemophilia in developing countries.
METHODS:
For different body weights of child patient, every time we used the same dosage of blood coagulation factor VIII (250 U each time, 3 times a week) and observed and recorded the number of hemorrhages in child patients. Then we compared the number of hemorrhages with children without treatment to determine the curative effect. According to the different body weights, we calculated the dosage of VIII factor of blood coagulation per kilogram (hereinafter referred to as the dose), and used Spearman correlation coefficient to study the correlation between dose and curative effect.
RESULTS:
The number of hemorrhages in 58 child patients before the treatment was 4.36 ± 1.78, while after the treatment was 2.22 ± 1.04 (t=7.91, P<0.001). The Spearman correlation coefficient of child patients of 5-10 U/kg was -0.421 (P=0.005); the Spearman correlation coefficient of child patients of 10-15 U/kg was -0.331 (P=0.030); the Spearman correlation coefficient of child patients over 15 U/kg was -0.16 (P=0.325).
CONCLUSION
Prevention and treatment can significantly reduce the times of hemorrhage in hemophilia patients.

Background::Early detection of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) can considerably improve the prognosis of patients. Aberrant cell-free DNA (cfDNA) methylation signatures are a promising tool for detecting ESCC. However, available markers based on cell-free DNA methylation are still inadequate. This study aimed to identify ESCC-specific cfDNA methylation markers and evaluate the diagnostic performance in the early detection of ESCC.Methods::We performed whole-genome bisulfite sequencing (WGBS) for 24 ESCC tissues and their normal adjacent tissues. Based on the WGBS data, we identified 21,469,837 eligible CpG sites (CpGs). By integrating several methylation datasets, we identified several promising ESCC-specific cell-free DNA methylation markers. Finally, we developed a dual-marker panel based on methylated KCNA3 and OTOP2, and then, we evaluated its performance in our training and validation cohorts. Results::The ESCC diagnostic model constructed based on KCNA3 and OTOP2 had an AUC of 0.91 [95% CI: 0.85–0.95], and an optimal sensitivity and specificity of 84.91% and 94.32%, respectively, in the training cohort. In the independent validation cohort, the AUC was 0.88 [95% CI: 0.83–0.92], along with an optimal sensitivity of 81.5% and specificity of 92.9%. The model sensitivity for stage I–II ESCC was 78.4%, which was slightly lower than the sensitivity of the model (85.7%) for stage III–IV ESCC. Conclusion::The dual-target panel based on cfDNA showed excellent performance for detecting ESCC and might be an alternative strategy for screening ESCC.
