Objective To evaluate the effects of different doses of epidural capsaicin on pain threshold, neurological function and spinal neurons.Methods Thirty-six male New Zealand white rabbits weighing 2.5-3.0 kg were randomly divided into 4 groups (n = 9 each): control group and 3 capsaicin groups (Cap 1, 2, 3). The animals were anesthetized with 10% chloral hydrate 50-75 mg?kg-1 i.v. . An intrathecal catheter was inserted at L6,7 interspace and correct placement was confirmed by outflow of CSF. 1 ml of 0.1 % ( Cap1) , 0.25 % ( Cap2 ) or 0.5% (Cap3 ) capsaicin was injected intrathecally 24 h after IT catheter was placed. Threshold to noxious thermal stimuli was measured and gait of the hind limbs were assessed using Johnson score (5 = normal, 0 = completely paralyzed), before and 1, 3, 7, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 days after IT injection. On the 2nd day after IT injection 3 animals were killed in each group and the lumbar segment of spinal cord (L6,7) was immediately removed for light and electron microscopic examination. Results The threshold to noxious thermal stimuli was significantly higher in the 3 capsaicin groups than in control group ( P

Objective: To exmain reliability and validity of the Chinese version of Family Hardiness Index(FHI) among patients with cancer. Methods: A convinent sample of 344 patients with cancer was investigated with a self-designed questionnaire about personal information, the Herth Hope Index (HHI) and the Chinese version of FHI. Item analysis was conducted on each item of the Chinese version of FHI; The construct validity of the scale were evaluated by explorotory factor analysis, the reliability of the scale was also evaluated by calculating the Cronbach α coefficient, the split-half reliability and the retest reliability. Results: The Chinese version of FHI consisted of 20 items. Five factors were extracted by factor analysis which explained 57.900% of the total variance. The score of the Chinese version of FHI was significantly correlated to the total score of HHI (r=0.716, p<0.01) .The Cronbach α coefficient of the Chinese version of FHI was 0.806, and the test-retest reliability coefficient was 0.790 and The split-half reliability was 0.793. Conclusion The Chinese version of FHI demonstrates good reliability and validity during initial testing among patients with cancer.

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of computed tomography enteroclysis/enterography (CTE),magnetic resorance enteroclysis/enterography (MRE) and ultrasonography (US) in Crohn's disease (CD) by Meta-analysis.Methods Segmental intestinal wall thickening and strengthening was taken as image diagnostic indicators in CD.Endoscopic and histopathologic findings and follow-up results were set as diagnostic standard.Retrieve and literature inclusion criteria were developed.The papers of CD diagnosed by CTE,MRE and US which met the criteria were searched and screened.The quality of the papers was evaluated by quality assessment of diagnostic accuracy studies (QUADAS).The diagnostic efficacy of CTE,MRE and US was compared,which included sensitivity,specificity,positive likelihood ratio and negative likelihood ratio,positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV).Results Among the 2197 retrieved literature,a total of 12 papers met the criteria and nine of which were blinded study.The papers were grouped by three different imaging techniques and underwent QUADAS scale scoring.One paper was about CTE and MRE comparative study,so there were six papers in CTE group,the scores of all the six papers were over 10 and all of them were blinded study.There were four papers in MRE group,the scores of three papers were over 10 and all of them were blinded study.There were three papers in US group,the score of one paper was over 10 and two of these three papers were blinded study and one with unclear evaluation.The sensitivity of CTE group was the highest (89 ％),while the specificity (90 ％) was lower than that of US group (95％).The PPV (93％),NPV (95％),positive likelihood ratio (15.16) and negative likelihood ratio (0.17) of US group were the highest,those of CTE were secondary (PPV 91％,NPV 82％,positive likelihood ratio 6.25 and negative likelihood ratio 0.15).The sensitivity (74％),specificity (84％),PPV (80％),NPV (80％),positive likelihood ratio (4.18) and negative likelihood ratio (0.33) of MRE group were lower than both US group and CTE group.Conclusions The sensitivity of CTE in CD diagnosis is better than that of MRE and US,while other diagnostic indicators are poorer than US.Even though US has high diagnostic value in CD,more well designed large sample study were still needed for further evaluation.

Objective:To explore the safety and efficacy of chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy for relapsed/refractory acute B-cell lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) with T315I mutation.Methods:The clinical data of a patient with relapsed/refractory B-ALL with T315I mutation who underwent CAR-T therapy in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University was analyzed, and the related literature was reviewed.Results:The patient was a 34-year-old man. He was diagnosed with chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) in January 2017 and started to take imatinib orally. However, the primary affection transformed to B-ALL 4 months later. Because of the E355G gene mutation, the treatment drug was adjusted to dasatinib, and induction chemotherapy was given at the same time. The sequential consolidation chemotherapy was given for 3 times after complete remission (CR). After half a year of remission, T315I mutation was detected and re-induced chemotherapy was given, but ineffective. The patient was treated with CAR-T 3 days after FC regimen (fludarabine 30 mg/m 2 per day, day 1 to day 3; cyclophosphamide 200 mg/m 2, day 1 to day 3). The number of CD19 CAR-T was 1.0×10 9, 98% activity degree. Grade 1 cytokine-releasing syndrome appeared after infusion, and was resolved after symptomatic treatment. No serious adverse reactions were observed. CR was achieved half-month after CAR-T treatment, and umbilical cord blood transplantation was successfully performed 1 month later. At the last follow-up, the relapse-free survival time of the patient was 396 days. Conclusion:CAR-T therapy may be a new, safe and effective therapy for patients with relapsed/refractory B-ALL with T315I mutation.

Objective: To understand the homosexual behavior and related factors among married MSM in Mianyang city. Methods: Between January and October in 2017, a snowball sampling method was adopted to carry out cross-sectional survey through questionnaires plus HIV testing among those MSM in Mianyang city. Logistic regression model was used to analyze homosexual behaviors and related factors among married MSM under study. Statistical analysis was used by EpiData 3.1 and SPSS 19.0 software. Results: A total of 234 MSM participated in this survey. The overall rate of homosexual behavior in these married MSM appeared as 94.9% (222/234). Rate of having anal sex behavior was 94.4% (221/234) in the past 6 months, with rate of condom use as 57.9% (128/221). HIV positive rate was 8.1% (18/222). As for the motives for homosexual behavior after marriage, 87.8% (195/222) were driven by feelings of love, 12.2% (27/222) due to 'releasing pressure’. Proportion of male sex partners would include occasional sex partners (62.2%, 138/222), stable male sex partners (26.1%, 58/222) and stable boyfriends (11.7%, 26/222). Factors from logistic regression analysis showed that homosexual behaviors were related to the factors including education level of senior high school or above vs. education level of junior middle school or below (OR=3.65, 95%CI: 1.33-9.98); local residency over one year vs. the ones having local residency less than one year (OR=23.28, 95%CI:1.67-324.89); having 10 or more friends in the MSM community vs. having below 10 friends in MSM community (OR=4.15, 95%CI: 1.28-13.43); without sex pleasure with spouse vs. having sex pleasure with spouse (OR=3.25, 95%CI: 1.22-8.62); having 2 or more anal sex partners in the past 6 months vs. having less than 2 anal sex partners in the past 6 months (OR=0.28,95%CI: 0.09-0.81). Conclusions The rate of homosexual behavior and HIV positive rate were high among MSM in Mianyang city. Homosexual behaviors after marriage were influenced by multiple factors among MSM. The motives of homosexual behavior after marriage were driven by feelings of love, the related factors were education level of senior high school or above, local residency over one year, having 10 or more friends in the MSM community and without sex pleasure with spouse. As for the motives of these behaviors was caused by releasing pressure, the related factors was having more than 2 anal sex partners.
