Objective To investigate the effectiveness of treating postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) by intradermal drug injection.Methods Ten rabbits of both sexes weighing 2.3-2.8 kg were anesthetized with intravenous urethane 1.5 g/kg. In group A (n = 5) 30% horseradish peroxidase(HRP) 500 ?l and in group B (n = 5) 1%-2% fluorescent nuclear yellow (NY) 500?l were injected intradermally at 6-8 points along the both sides of spine in the scapula region. After 48-72 h the animals were sacrificed and C4 -T10 spinal ganglia, cervical and thoracic sympathetic ganglia and celiac ganglia were harvested for identification of labeled neurocytes. Results Labeled neurocytes were found in C4-T10 spinal ganglia, cervical and thoracic sympathetic ganglia and celiac ganglia. There were more labeled neurocytes in the C6-T8 spinal ganglia. There were more labeled neurocytes in the sympathetic ganglia than in the spinal ganglia. The distribution of fluorescent labeled neurocytes corresponded to neurocytes labeled by HRP method. At the same segment there were more fluorescent labeled neurocytes than neurocytes labeled by HRP. Conclusion There is an ascending axoplasma streaming channel from nerver ending to the neurocytes in the ganglion as shown by morphological study and the good therapeutic effect of intradermal drug injection in the treatment of PHN may be related to this channel.

Aim To evaluate the effects of gavage with lactococcus lactis(L.Lactis) recombinant heme oxyge-nase-1(HO-1) gene on alleviation of intestinal inflammation and protection of the intestinal mucosa in rats with endotoxemia.Methods A model of rats with endotoxemia was produced in 24 healthy SD male rats.The rats were randomly divided into the L.Lactis recombinant HO-1(LL-HO-1)gene group(HO-1 group,n=8),L.Lactis group(LL group,n=8) and glutamine group(Glu group,n=8).The rats received 1 ml(5?1010 CFU?ml-1)?d-1LL-HO-1,1 ml(5?1010 CFU?ml-1)?d-1 L.Lactis or 1 g?kg-1?d-1 glutamine for four days before LPS intraperitoneal injecion.Twenty hours after LPS injection,the full-thickness distal ileum was harvested.The mortality,myeloperoxidase(MPO) activity,the pathological changes,the contents of HO-1,tumor necrosis factor-?(TNF-?) and interleukin-10(IL-10) in the intestine were determined.Results When the results of HO-1 group was compared with those of LL group,the survival rate was significantly elevated in the former(P

Objective:To study the results of using a sequential menagement of conservative treatment, percutaneous transhepatic cholangial drainage(PTCD), laparoscopic cholecystectomy(LC) combined with laparoscopic common bile duct exploration(LCBDE) and primary duce closure(PDC) in patients with cholecystolithiasis and common bile duct stone(CBDS) who presented with acute cholangitis.Methods:The clinical data of 397 patients with CBDS and cholecystolithiasis who presented with acute cholangitis from January 2015 to August 2020 were retrospectively analyzed, including 230 patients from the West Campus, Beijing Chaoyang Hospital, Capital Medical University, 95 patients from the Second People's Hospital of Binzhou and 72 patients from Rizhao Central Hospital. Conservative treatment, PTCD and LC+ LCBDE+ PDC were used sequentially. The interval between PTCD and LCBDE, the decrease of serum total bilirubin and alanine aminotransferase after PTCD, the operative time of LC+ LCBDE+ PDC, and the intraoperative blood loss were analyzed. Postoperative indwelling time of abdominal drainage tube and PTCD tube time, postoperative hospital stay, postoperative complications, etc.Results:These were 15 males and 18 femals with the mean age of 57.5 years old. The mean serum total bilirubin and alanine aminotransferase levels decreased from (148.3±36.8) μmol/L and (172.6±26.9) U/L before PTCD to (32.6±5.9) μmol/L and (45.7±7.2) U/L after PTCD, respectively. The interval between PTCD and LCBDE was (25.3±2.6) d. The operation time of LC+ LCBDE+ PDC was (95.4±14.2) min. The intraoperative blood loss was (35.2±9.5 )ml and the mean postoperative hospital stay was (12.4±3.5) d. The postoperative indwelling time of abdominal drainage tubes and PTCD tubes were (10.6±2.3) d and (25.8±4.7) d, respectively. After surgery, bile leakage occurred in 3 patients (9.1%), abdominal hemorrhage in 1 patient (3.0%), biliary bleeding in 1 patient (3.0%), navel incision infection in 1 patient (3.0%), lower common bile duct stenosis in 2 patients (6.1%). All complications responded well to conservation treatment.Conclusions:Sequential treatment using conservative treatment, PTCD combined with LC+ LCBDE+ PDC in patients with cholecystolithiasis and CBDS who presented with acute cholangitis was safe, and efficacious using the minimally invasive approach. This approach is worth promoting to other centers.

ObjectiveTo investigate the genetic polymorphism of 42 short tandem repeats (STRs), including 41 non-CODIS loci from the Shenzhen Han population and evaluate their potential values in forensic application. MethodsIn our research, the AGCU 21+1 STR kit and Microreader™ 23sp Direct ID System were applied to analyze the polymorphism of STR loci from 435 unrelated individuals of Shenzhen Han population. Modified-Powerstates and Arlequin v3.5 software were used to analyze the allele frequencies and forensic parameters, and perform the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium test. ResultsA total of 418 alleles were detected from 435 unrelated individuals in Shenzhen, all consistent with Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (P>0.05/42), with the allele frequency ranging from 0.001 1 to 0.552 9. Besides, the discrimination power (DP) ranged from 0.798 8 (D1S1627) to 0.968 6 (D7S3048), the polymorphic information content (PIC) ranged from 0.568 0 (D1S1627) to 0.859 8 (D7S3048), and the heterozygosity (H) ranged from 0.627 6 (D1S1627) to 0.878 2 (D20S470). Among all the STRs tested in the study, both D1S1656 and D21S1270 have 16 alleles and show the highest polymorphism. In comparison, only five alleles were observed in the D4S2408 locus, which displays the least polymorphism. ConclusionsThe 42 autosomal STR loci with high genetic polymorphism in Shenzhen Han population showed potential as an effective means for individual identification and paternity testing, especially in the cases with single parent or mutation detected. The obtained information can provide basic data for STR population genetics.
