Objective To investigate the effects of preconditioning with 3-nitropropionie acid on myocardial apoptosis induced by ischemia-reperfusion injury.Method Twenty-four rabbits were randomly divided into control group(group C,n=8),precondition group(group 3-NPA,n=8)and 5-HD group(group 5-HD,n=8).The group 5-HD was treated intravenously with 5 mg·kg-1 5-HD(ATP-sensitive potassium channels blocker),group C and group 3-NPA received normal saline instead of 5-HD.Ten minutes later,5-HD group and 3-NPA group were injected with 3-NPA(3 mg·kg-1)and the group C was injected with normal saline.Twenty-four hours later,the left anterior descending coronary artery was ligated for 30 min and then unclamped for 120 min to estabhsh ischemi-a-reperfitsion injury model.After reperfusion,the infarct sizes of ventricular myocardium,apoptotic myocardial cells and the expressions of Bcl-2 and Bax protein were measured.Results Infarct sizes and apoptotic myocardial cells in group 3-NPA were less than those in the others(P＜0.01).The expressions of Bcl-2 in group 3-NPA.in-creased as compared with group C(P＜0.05)and group 5-HD(P＜0.05),whereas the expressions of Bax in group 3-NPA decreased as compared with group C(P＜0.05)and group 5-HD(P＜0.05).Conclusions Preconditioning with 3-nitmpropionie acid reduces myocardial apoptosis induced by isehemia-reporfusion injury which is attributed to the opening of mitochondrial KATP channels.

Objective To observe the effect of propofol target controlled infusion with different blood plasma target concentration on stress reaction during the nasal endoscope operation. Methods Sixty patients with ASA Ⅰ - Ⅱ scheduled for the nasal endoscope operation were divided into three groups by random digits table: each group was 20 patients, group A, B, C was given propofol target controlled infusion with blood plasma target concentration 3,4,5 μ g/mi respectively. Heart rate (HR), mean arterial pressure (MAP), pulse oxygen saturation (SpO2), blood glucose, serum cortisol, bispectral index ( BIS ), extubation time were recorded before anesthesia,at 30 min after the operation starting and 60 min after the extubation.Results The descent degree of HR and MAP at 30 min after the operation starting were group C ＞ group B ＞ group A (P = 0.024,0.010 );the descent degree of MAP at 60 min after the extubation were group C ＞group B ＞ group A (P = 0.011 ). BIS and extubation time were 65 ± 8 and (25 ± 7) min in group A, 53 ± 11 and( 36 ± 13 ) min in group B, 45 ± 12 and(45 ± 9 ) min in group C, there were significant differences among three groups(t = 2.476,P= 0.023;t = 2.657,P= 0.012). The blood glucose was increased at 30 min after the operation starting and 60 min after the extubation, the ascensus degree were group A ＞ group B ＞ group C (P= 0.000、0.000);the serum cortisol was decreased at 30 min after the operation starting, the descent degree was group C ＞ group B ＞ group A (P= 0.000), increased at 60 min after the extubation, the ascensus degree was group A ＞ group B ＞ group C (P= 0.001 ). Conclusions Propofol target controlled infusion with blood plasma target concentration 4-5 μ g/ml can ensure eligible depth of anesthesia, decrease pain stimulus, remain stable vital sign,depress the stress reaction caused by nasal endoscope operation efficiently,with short extubation time. It is an eligible blood plasma target concentration.

Objective To investigate the change of the fibrin monomer (FM) level in the venous thromboembolic disease (VTE).To compare the diagnostic value of FM combined Wells score with the other detection methods.Methods In this case control study,121 cases were selected from the patients who were from general and orthopeadic surgery (including thrombosis group in 60 cases and non thrombosis group in 61 cases).The patients were assessed by Wells score.From one day before surgery, Plasma d-dimer (D-D) and fibrin monomer (FM) were periodic measured by CP-2000 d-dimer and fibrin monomer.Evaluation the value of d-dimer,fibrin monomer and fibrin monomer combined with Wells score in diagnosis of venous thromboembolic disease.The receiver operation cure(ROC) was drew to determine the diagnostic performance.Results The plasma FM level of patients with VTE in the thrombus group (26.11±38.34) μg/ml is higher than the non thrombus group (6.56±6.81) μg/ml and the control group (2.37±0.89) μg/ml (t=-3.82, t=-4.78,P<0.01);the sensitivity of FM was lower than the D-D (85% vs 93%);then the positive predictive value was lower than D-D (82% vs 87%) (χ2=27.01,P=0.000)but its specificity and negative predictive value (65%) are both higher than D-D (65% vs 44%)(71% vs 62%)(χ2=11.67,P=0.001);the sensitivity,the specificity,the positive predictive value and the negative predictive value of FM combined Wells score are increased (90%,85%,83%,89%)(χ2=20.95,χ2=16.65,P<0.01).The increased level of FM is earlier than imaging changes, and the elevated of plasma D-D is not obvious in a certain period of time.Conclusions The sensitivity and specificity of FM combined with Wells′ score is higher in the diagnosis of VTE, its prediction value in the diagnosis of VTE is higher.The FM level can be changed in the early stage of VTE, which has a certain value of early diagnosis.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the conscious analgesia/sedation scheme with remifentanil and propofol on the elderly patients under gastroenterological endoscopic procedure. Methods Retrospective analysis was performed on 3 500 cases with remifentanil and small?dose propofol under gastroenterological endoscopic procedures, and the procedure achievement, effects of the narcotic, adverse reactions and satisfactory results were summarized. Results All procedures were completed successfully. The ratio of the patients whose intended sedation depth arrived at referential induction was up to 91?3%(3 196/3 500).Hemodynamic change was slight and almost all patients could open eyes in no time, with short hospital stay. No serious adverse effects were observed except several patients complaining about mild bucking, abdominal distension and stomachache. The degree of patients′ satisfaction was high. Conclusion The conscious analgesia/sedation scheme with remifentanil and propofol can be effectively and safely used on gastroenterological endoscopic procedure among the elderly, but precise monitor and timely treatment of complications are still needed.

Objective To investigate the effect of ifenprodil in the mice of bone cancer pain.Methods 96 male C3H/HeJ mice were divided randomly into tumor group( Group T),control group( Group C) and sham group( Group S).The α-minimal essence media(ct-MEM) with 2 × l05 osteosarcoma NCTC 2472 cells were implanted into the intramedullary space of the right femurs of mice to induce ongoing bone cancer related pain behaviors.The sham group was inoculated by α-MEM without any cells.On the 14th d after inoculation,pain ethology indexes such as the spontaneous lifting behaviors,the paw withdrawal mechanical threshold(PWMT) and the paw withdrawal thermal latency (PWTL)were observed on 1 d before inoculation and on 3 d,5 d,7 d,10 d,14 d,17 d,19 d,23 d after inoculation.Lumbar intumescentia of mice in each group were taken out to investigate the expression level of NR2B western blot after pain behaviors tests at the same time point after intrathecal injection.Results ( 1 ) At day14 after the operation,the obvious increasing of spontaneous lifting behaviors ( ( 12.88 ±1.64) ) and the expression of NR2B (2.12 ±0.13),the significant decreasing of PWMT( (0.39 ±0.17)g) and PWTL( ( 11.59 ± 1.67 ) s ) were observed in group T compared with group S and preoperative base level (P ＜ 0.05 ).(2) At day 17,day 19 and day 23 after the operation,compared with the basal level of dayl4 before administration and group C,the spontaneous lifting behaviors ( (5.13 ± 1.38),(4.70 ± 1.58),(5.64 ± 1.17) ) of group T were obviously decreased,PWMT ( ( 1.10 ± 0.65 ) g,( 0.95 ± 0.56 ) g,( 1.05 ± 0.26 ) g) and PWTL ( ( 15.17 ± 1.27) s,( 15.93 ± 2.18 ) s,( 16.28 ± 1.48 ) s ) were increased,the expression of NR2B ( ( 1.42 ± 0.17),(1.67 ±0.53),(1.14 ±0.79) ) were significantly decreased(P＜0.05).Conclusion Repeated intratheal injection of ifenprodil can efficiently relieve spontaneous lifting behaviors,mechanical hyperalgia and thermal hyperalgia and decrease the expression of lumbar intumescentia NR2B in the mouse model of bone cancer pain.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of KN93,a CaMKII inhibitor,on the spinal NR2B expression in the bone cancer pain mouse and its underlying mechanism.MethodsThirty-six male C3IL/IIeJ mice were randomly divided into 3 groups:sham group( S,n =8 ),bone cancer pain group( BP,n =8 ) and KN93 group ( K,n=20).The mouse model of bone cancer pain was established by intra-femur inoculation of osteolytie NCTC 2472 cells in BP and K groups.At 14d post operation,mice in K group received intrathecal injection of 60nmol KN93/5μl in 20％ DMSO and mice in BP group and S group received 20％ DMSD 5μl respectively.Eight mice were selected randomly from each group at (1)d before inoculation,at 1 h before administration and at 1,2,4,24h after administration( T0-5 ) to be measured the paw withdrawal threshold(PWT) stimulated by von Frey filaments.Another 3 mice were sacrificed at the corresponding time point and the spinal cord L3 -5 were obtained for determination of NR2B expression by western blot.ResultsPWT was significantly decreased in group BP( (0.50 ± 0.11 ) g) and K( (0.52 ±0.10)g),except for group K at T3(P＞0.05),and NR2B cxpression up-regulated at T2-5 in BP( 1.78± 0.34),K groups ( ( 1.11 ± 0.14),(0.73 ± 0.03 ),( 1.11 ± 0.15 ),( 1.89 ± 0.32 ) ) compared with S group ( ( 1.78 ± 0.31 ) g,(0.33 ± 0.04),P ＜ 0.05 ).Compared with group BP,PWT was increased and NR2B expression down-regulated at T2-4 in group K.In contrast to T1,PWT at T2-4 upgraded in group K(P＜0.05 ),but no significant difference was observed in other groups (P＞ 0.05 ).ConclusionIntrathecal injection of KN93 can attenuate bone cancer pain in mice through inhibiting NR2B with a time-dependent manner and spinal CaMKII-NR2B pathway may participate in the development of bone cancer pain.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of intrathecal injection of magnesium sulfate ( MgSO4 ) on pain behavior in mouse with bone cancer pain.Methods56 male 8-10 week old C3H/HeJ mice weighing 18-22 g were divided randomly into 7 groups ( n =8 ):sham group (S group),control group (C group) and MgSO4 plus morphine treat groups( T1-T5 group).Croup C and T mice were induced bone cancer pain models by intra-rightfemur inoculation of osteolytic NCTC2472 cells while group S were injected of only α-MEM.On the 14d after inoculation,group S and C received intrathecal injection of artificial cerebrospinal fluid 5 μl,while group T1-T5 received intrathecal injection of MgSO4 14.4 μg,43.2 μg,86.4 μg,morphine 0.36 μg,MgSO4 14.4 μg-morphine 0.36 μg,which were dissolved in 5 μl artificial cerebrospinal fluid.Micc received pain behavior tests including quantification of spontaneous flinches,paw withdrawal mechanical threshold (PWMT) and paw withdrawal thermal latency (PWTL) at 0.5h before and 0.5h,2h,4h,gh after administration.ResultsTreatment with MgSO4 (14.4 μg),morphine (0.36 μg) have no effect on bone cancer pain,while treatment with MgSO4 (43.2 μg,86.4 μg)can dose-dependently reverse quantification of spontaneous flinches,mechanical allodynia and thermal hypcralgesia which were induced by inoculation as well as MgSO4 14.4 μg-morphine 0.36 μg.At 0.5 h after administration,the quantification of spontancous flinches of the three groups( ( 10.08 ± 1.66),(7.35 ± 1.36),( 10.54 ± 1.32 ) ) were decrcased when compared with control group ( 13.05 ± 2.06 ),PWMT ( (0.81 ± 0.22 ) g; ( 1.33 ± 0.19)g; (0.93 ±0.26)g),PWTL( (10.57 ±1.53)s; (13.12 ±1.71)s; (11.46 ±1.83)s) were increased when compared with control group ( (0.42 ± 0.23 ) g,( 8.87 ± 1.27 ) s) (P ＜ 0.05 ).The effect reached maximum level at 2h,lasted for at least 4h and disappeared at 8h.ConclusionIntrathecal injection MgSO4 can effectively attenuate bone cancer pain dose-dependently.At the same time MgSO4 can amplify the analgesic effect of subliminal morphine.

Objective To observe the expression of axon guidance cues Slit2 and Robo4 in lung tissue of rat with acute lung injury (ALI) and explore the function of Slit2 and Robo4 in ALI.Methods Forty-eight Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly (random number) divided into control group (n =24) and ALl group (n =24).ALI model was reproduced by cecum ligation and puncture (CLP).The control group only experienced a simulated operation without CLP.Both groups were further divided into 3 subgroups with 8 rats in each subgroup:12 h,24 h,and 48 h subgroups.artery blood gas analysis,lung tissue wet/dry weight (W/D) ratio,lung histopathologic changes,pulmonary microvascular permeability were observed.The serum tumor nocrosis factor-α (TNF-α) was measured with enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).The expression of Slit2 and Robo4 mRNA were detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).The expression of Slit2 and Robo4 protein in lung tissues was assessed by immunohistochemistry.Date were analyzed by one-way ANOVA with SPSS version 13.0 software.Statistical significance was established at a P value of less than 0.05.Results Compared with the control group,in ALI rats at different time points,partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood (PaO2) decreased significantly,lung W/D weight ratio and pulmonary microvascular permeability,the serum TNF-α increased significantly (all P ＜ 0.05),histopathology of lung revealed signs of injury.The expression of Slit2 mRNA in lung tissues was decreased markedly after CLP compared with control group [(0.56±0.13) vs.(0.87±0.05),F=41.39,P＜0.05,(0.42±0.10) vs.(0.85±0.07),F=93.54,P＜0.05,(0.26±0.08) vs.(0.89 ±0.09),F=227.05,P＜0.05].but there were no significant difference in expression of Robo4 mRNA in lung tissue between ALI group and control group [(0.86±0.07) vs.(0.83±0.05),F=0.695,P＞0.05,(0.82±0.05) vs.(0.89±0.08),F=2.061,P ＞ 0.05,(0.86 ± 0.08) vs.(0.86 ± 0.05),F =0.035,P ＞ 0.05].Immunohistochemistry study showed Slit2 protein was mainly expressed on the extracellular surface of vascular endothelial cells,while lung epithelial cell nuclei and endochylema.Robo4 protein was only expressed on the extracellular surface of vascular endothelial cells.Compared with the control group,expression of Slit2 protein in lung tissue in ALI group decreased markedly [(0.37 ± 0.05) vs.(0.45 ± 0.07),F =6.82,P ＜ 0.05,(0.32±0.06) vs.(0.47±0.09),F=23.54,P＜0.05,(0.28±0.07) vs.(0.46±0.06),F=28.01,P ＜ 0.05].As good as RT-PCR,there were no significant difference in expression of Robo4 protein in lung tissue between two groups [(0.53±0.04) vs.(0.52±0.05),F=0.155,P＞0.05,(0.53± 0.09) vs.(0.50±0.05),F=0.498,P＞0.05,(0.55±0.06) vs.(0.56±0.07),F=0.073,P ＞ 0.05].Conclusions Lung tissues of control group rats express Slit2 and Robo4.The decreased Slit2 mRNA and protein expressions in the lung tissue of rat with ALI caused by CLP may be associated with the occurrence of ALI.

OBJECTIVE:To explore the content variation rule and influencing factors of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural(5-HMF)in the extraction process of the herbs Schisandra chinensis and improve the quality of monitoring the extract of Schisandra chinensis. METHODS:High performance liquid chromatography was adopted to determine the contents of 5-HMF in the extracts during the extraction process (decoction,vacuum concentration,alcohol precipitation,vacuum drying,alkali adjustment),and the content variation rule was found out. For vacuum drying during which the content of 5-HMF reduced obviously,the effects of the tempera-ture and time of drying on the content of 5-HMF were studied,and the effects of vacuum drying and freeze drying on the 5-HMF contents were compared. RESULTS:The content variation trend in the extraction process of Schisandra chinensis was as follows as a large amount of 5-HMF was produced in the herbs decoction process;the content of 5-HMF increased during concentration,re-duced during the alcohol precipitation and the vacuum drying of the extracts by three times concentrate,and maintained substantial-ly unchanged during alkali adjustment. In the process of vacuum drying,the content of 5-HMF decreased with temperature rise and time extension. Freeze drying had no effect as good as that of vacuum drying in the reduction in the content of 5-HMF. CON-CLUSIONS:It is suggested that the vacuum drying of the extracts by three times concentrate at higher temperature,which may pro-duce the extract of Schisandra chinensis with lower content of 5-HMF and thus improve the quality of Schisandra chinensis extract.
