Objective To investigate the changes in the expression of Nogo-A protein in the dorsal root ganglion (DRG) and spinal dorsal horn in a rat model of neuropathic pain (NP) .Methods Seventy-two male SD rats weighing 250-300 g were randomly divided into 3 groups ( n = 24 each) : control group (group C) , sham operation group (group S) and NP group. NP was induced by ligation and severance of tibial and common fibular nerves according to the technique described by Isabelle et al. The mechanical withdrawal threshold (MWT) to von Frey filament stimulation was measured at 1, 7, 14 and 21 days after ligation. Six rats in each group were randomly selected at each time point and sacrificed (3 for determination of Nogo-A protein expression by immunofluorescence, 3 for determination of Nogo-A protein expression by Western blot) . The L5 DRG and L4,5 segment of spinal cord on the injured side were removed for determination of Nogo-A protein expression by immunofluorescence and Western blot. Results Compared with the groups C and S, MWT was significantly decreased at 7, 14 and 21 days after ligation, the expression of Nogo-A protein in the DRG was down-regulated at 7 and 14 days after ligation and the expression of Nogo-A protein in the spinal dorsal horn was up-regulated at 14 and 21 days after ligation ( P ＜0.05) .Conclusion The Nogo-A protein in the DRG and spinal dorsal horn may play an important role in peripheral nerve injury-induced NP in rats.

Objective To investigate the feasibility and safety of endoscopic treatment of ureteral calculi acute obstruction with urinary extravasation. Methods 56 patients with ureteral calculi acute obstruction and urinary extravasation were randomly divided into two groups:the treatment group and the control group,28 cases in each group. Patients in the treatment group were given URSL or percutaneous nephrostomy drainage, and the secondary fistula was given URSL stone clearance treatment. Patients in control group were given traditional ureterolithotomy treatment. The stone clearance rate, the average recovery time after surgery, postoperative wound infection rate and the abnormal rate of postoperative albumin were observed in two groups. Results In the treatment group,28 patients had no residual stones with mean postoperative recovery time of (5.2 1.3) days,postoperative fever was found in 3 cases,obvious abnormal postoperative albumin in 3 cases. In the control group,residual stones were found in 3 cases,the average recovery time after surgery was (7.9 2.6) days,postoperative fever was found in 10 cases, and obvious abnormal postoperative albumin in 11 cases. There were statistically significant differences in stone clearance rate, the average recovery time after surgery, postoperative wound infection rate and the abnormal rate of postoperative albumin between two groups (P<0.05) . Conclusion Endoscopic treatment of ureteral calculi acute obstruction and urinary extravasation has advantages including better efficacy, less trauma, less complications and quicker recovery.

Objective To evaluate the relationship between echocardiographic epicardial adipose tissue thickness(EAT) and the presence and severity of coronary artery disease(CAD). Methods One hundredand forty-seven patients (101 patients with CAD and 46 patients with normal coronary arteries by diagnostic coronary angiography) were enrolled. EAT thickness was measured using 2-D echocardiographic parasternal long-and short-axis views. EAT thickness measurements were compared with angiographic findings. Results EAT was significantly higher in CAD group comparison to control group [(7.41 ± 1.63)mm vs (4.41±1.60) mm, P ＜0.01 ]. Furthermore, EAT increased with the severity of CAD [(8.53 ± 1.00)mm vs (6.36 ±1.73)mm, P ＜0.01]. Gensini's score significantly correlated with EAT (r = 0.71, P ＜0.01 ). EAT thickness ≥5.35 mm had 87.13% sensitivity and 80.42% specificity (ROC area 0. 89, P = 0.01,95% CI [0.84 - 0.9;]) for predicting CAD. Conclusions EAT thickness, which is easily and non-invasively evaluated by transthoracic echocardiography, can be an adjunctive marker to classical risk factors for the prediction of CAD, it was significantly correlated with the severity of coronary artery disease.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the clinical characteristics and drug resistance of meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA) among inpatients in Huaxi Hospital in five years.METHODS We analyzed clinical distribution and resistant data on inpatients infected with MRSA between Jan 2003 and Dec 2007 in Huaxi Hospital,and collected the annual consumption of common used antibiotics,amount of MRSA isolates and MRSA isolated rate from Staphylococcus aureus(SA) strains.The data were analyzed by the method of Spearman analysis in SPSS.RESULTS We analyzed totally 1478 MRSA strains.The most common specimens of MRSA were sputum(70.8%),other secretions(14.2%) and blood(4.6%).The MRSA strains were frequently detected in ICU(29.8%),Department of surgery(17.3%) and Department of respiratory Medicine(6.4%).The drug resistance rate to ampicillin,tetracycline,rifampin,imipenem,ciprofloxacin,gentamicin,cefalothin,cefotaxime and cefazolin were beyond 90% in five years.The drug resistance rate against Erythromycin,Clindamycin and Clarithromycin decreased gradually from 93.1%,92.2% and 95.5% in 2003 to 82.3%,76.7% and 81% in 2007.It had not been found the vancomycin-resistant MRSA.Except Cotrimoxazole,the drug resistance rates of MRSA in ICU were almost higher than those in non-ICU departments.Based on the SPSS analysis,we concludea that annual consumption of etimicin had a positive correlation with MRSA,and

Objective To investigate the dosimetric performance of two algorithms for correcting the presence of tissue inhomogeneities,the finite site pencil beam (FSPB) and X-ray voxel Monte Carlo (XVMC) plans were implemented in the MONACO system,with the accuracy of application to clinic treatment of two algorithms were evaluated.Methods In a non-uniform artificial anthropomorphic phantom,regular open fields and intensity modulation radiated therapy (IMRT) plans of the MONACO were measured by using calibrated EBT2 films,and the dose accuracy of the two kinds of plans was analyzed by comparing the planned and measured plane dose.Results In an anthropomorphic phantom,the deviations between the calculated values by XVMC and the measured values by films were less than ± 2％.While the deviations of FSPB values between calculation and measurements was within ± 3％,except at the condition of 15 MV,10 cm ×2 cm field,the dose error in lung was up to 6.51％.The verification of individual IMRT beams based on films showed that the pass rates of calculation by XVMC and FSPB were larger than 90％ with γ criterion of 3％/3 mm and 4％/4 mm,respectively.At 3％/3 mm,the pass rates of FSPB were in the range of 80％-90％.At the same time,the pass rates of all individual fields were higher than 90％.Conclusions The accuracy of dose calculation of XVMC is better than that of FSPB when being in multi-segments and non-uniform media.The error of algorithm can be controlled within ±3％,for the calculation by XVMC.And the dose deficiency of PTV arising from algorithm can be avoided.

Aim To investigate TY501′s role in bleo-mycin ( BLM )-induced pulmonary fibrosis in rats. Methods Forty rats were randomly divided into 5 groups, including the sham operation, BLM, PFD, TY501(high and low dose) groups. After administra-tion of BLM intratracheally, PFD and TY501 were giv-en in each group daily, according to the dosage de-signed during 21 days. Lung coefficient, PaO2 were tested before killing the rats. The contents of ALB, ALP, LDH, GSH, HYP were detected by regent kit respectively. PCⅢ and COL4 were determined by ELISA. Results ( 1 ) Some indicators of alveolitis in early stage of IPF: the contents of lung coefficient in three treatment groups were lower and PaO2 was higher than those in BLM group ( P<0. 05 ); compared with BLM group, the contents of ALB, ALP, LDH in the treatment groups reduced on 21 st day ( P<0. 05 );the expression of GSH in BLM group was increased for feedback regulation and higher than the treatment groups and the sham operation group (P<0. 05);(2) some indicators of pulmonary interstitial fibrosis in late stage of IPF:the expressions of HYP, PCⅢand COL4 were reduced after the treatment. There were signifi-cant differences compared with BLM group ( P <0. 05 ) . Conclusions TY501 is valuable for the ther-apy of IPF, the same as the positive drug pirfenidone. TY501 attenuates BLM-induced pulmonary fibrosis, which may be related to the affection of TGF-βpathway and inhibition of MMPs.
