Objective To investigate the neuropathic pain (NP) accompanying spinal cord injury (SCI),and to analyze the related factors to provide references for its prevention and treatment.Methods Seventy SCI patients with NP were selected using the DN4 scale.Their age,gender,occupation,education level,monthly income,injury position,marital status and other data were surveyed using a general questionnaire.Their NP situation was surveyed using a simplified McGill pain questionnaire (SF-MPQ).Results The patients' average visual analogous scale (VAS) score was 4.37.Their average pain rating index (PRI) according to the SF-MPQ was 8.23,with the PRI-sensory and PRI-emotional components 5.23 and 3.00 respectively.The average degree of present pain intensity was 1.86,between mild pain and discomfort,and discomfort was the description most commonly used.The most common pain descriptor was prickling pain,followed by burning pain and bulge pain.85.7％ of the patients felt that their pain had an adverse effect on their affective state,and exhaustion occurred more often than any other descriptive words.Univariant analysis showed that the degree of injury,education level,marital status,monthly income,family support and medication history were all factors correlated with NP perceptions.Multi-variate logistic regression analysis showed that being unmarried and severity of injury were independent protective factors against NP.No family support,no medication and low income were independent risk factors for NP.Conclusion The type of neuropathic pain varies in patients with spinal cord injury.The intensity of the pain is mostly at a medium level.The emotional state of most patients was affected.Neuropathic pain involves many factors.Being unmarried and severely injured are independent protective factors,while lack of family support,no medication,and having low income were independent risk factors.

Objective To explore the mobile changes of nitric oxide(NO) and the relationship between nitric oxide and glomerular hyperfiltration in experimental diabetic rats.Methods Experimental diabetes mellitus(DM) was induced in rats with streptozotocin(STZ).The levels of NO and NOS in renal tissue homogenate were assayed after establishment of diabetesat the 4 th,8 th,12 th week.At the same time, renal morphology in diabetic rats was examined by light microscope and image of computer.Results The contents of NO and NOS in renal homegenates were evidently increased at 4 th week,and decreased gradually from 8 th week(P

Objective To study the effects ofShenqi YizhiGranules (SQYZ) on learning and memory and content of Aβ1-42 of cerebral tissue in 5XFAD mice with Alzheimer’s disease; To discuss its mechanism on improving learning and memory ability of 5XFAD mice.Methods Four-month-old C57BL?6 wild type mice were randomly divided into NS control group and SQYZ control group, and the 5XFAD mice were randomly divided into model group, SQYZ group and huperzine-A (HupA) group, 15 mice in each group. Each group were given same volume for gavage for 60 d. After treatment, the learning and memory ability were evaluated by nesting test, passive avoidance and Morris water maze test. The senile plaques and content of Aβ1-42, ionized calcium binding adapter molecule 1 and glial fibrillary acidic protein in cerebral cortex and hippocampus were detected by immunohistochemical staining and immunofluorescence, respectively.Results Compared with NS control group, the score of nesting test in model group significantly decreased; the step-through latency in passive avoidance was shortened and the escape latentcy in Morris water maze test was prolonged; the quantity of senile plaques and content of Aβ1-42 increased in cerebral cortex and hippocampus; the activation of glial cells significantly increased. In the SQYZ group, the above-mentioned indexes reached or approached the level of wild type control mice. The difference between SQYZ group and model group was statistically significant (P<0.05,P<0.01).Conclusion SQYZ improved learning and memory ability in 5XFAD mice, which may be related to reduction of senile plaques, inhibition of over activation in glial cells and reduction of content of Aβ1-42 in cerebral cortex and hippocampus.

Objective To evaluate the clinical value of SAA by detecting their expression levels in patients with lung cancer and the analysis of the relativity of SAA for early diagnosis.Methods There are 243 cases specimens obtained from lung cancer patients who were newly diagnosed and without any treatment in Zhejiang Cancer Hospital from April 2014 to June 2015.The 243 lung cancer individuals were 147 male, and 96 female, their ages ranged from 29 to 85 years, with an average age of 63 years.The distribution of pathological type was as follows:95 patients were adenocarcinoma, 102 patients were squamous carcinoma, and 46 patients were small cell carcinoma.The distribution of TNM staging systems was as follows: 59 patients in stage 1and stage 2, 54 patients in stage 3, and 130 patients in stage 4.While 179 cases physical examination as the control.There were 94 individuals male, and 85 individuals female.Their ages ranged from 26 to 86 years, with an average age of 61 years.By using latex enhanced immune turbidimetric method, serum SAA concentrations in patients with lung cancer and healthy controls were checked on the Hitachi-7600 automated chemistry analyzer ( Hitachi ).The comparisons of all analyses values between healthy controls and lung cancer were estimated by two independent samples nonparametric tests ( Mann-Whitney U).The association between SAA and lung cancer prognostic factors such as age, smoking status and metastasis, was evaluated by spearman correlation and multivariate analysis.Results The median and interquartile spacing of SAA concentration was 42.36 mg/L (9.35, 74.22) in lung cancer patients.While 24 mg/L ( 3.25, 21.45 ).The median level of SAA in lung cancer patients (42.36 mg/L) were significantly higher than in healthy controls (11.24 mg/L), and difference reached statistically significant (Z=-2.403,P=0.006).Nevertheless, there was no significant difference in SAA concentrations among the different pathological types(Z=-1.013, P=0.339), ages (Z=0.578, P=0.458) and gender(Z=0.726, P=0.246) of lung cancer patients.While the level of SAA in has smoking status (Z=-2.282, P=0.013) and distant metastasis (Z=-2.138, P=0.017) of lung cancer was higher.By drawing ROC curve, the cut off value of SAA in distinguishing lung cancer with healthy control was 14.48 mg/L.Meanwhile, the AUC was 0.811, the accuracy is 89.12% and the sensitivity was 88.73%.Serum concentration was positively related with smoking status ( r =0.331, P =0.018 ) and distant metastasis ( r =0.372, P=0.015 ) by Spearman correlation analysis .Conclusion Serum SAA concentrations may contribute to the auxiliary diagnosis of lung cancer, evaluate the clinical stage and distant metastases of lung cancer.
