OBJECTIVETo study the effects of pentobarbital sodium in generation and modulation of rhythmical respiration in neonatal rats.
METHODSThe effects of pentobarbital sodium were examined on hypoglossal nerve (XII) rootlets and inspiratory neurons in the medullary preparations including the medial region of the nucleus retrofacialis, pre-Bötzinger complex and the dorsal respiratory group of neonatal rats aged 0-3 days. The electrical activity of XII nerve rootlets and inspiratory neurons were recorded. Different doses of pentobarbital sodium (20, 40, 60, 80 micromol/L) were added into modified Krebs solution to observe changes in the discharge activity of XII nerve and inspiratory neurons. Bicuculline was used to further investigate the mechanisms that pentobarbital sodium suppresses respiration.
RESULTSThe discharge activity inhibition of XII nerve was increased as pentobarbital sodium doses increased from 20 to 60 micromol/L, but no significant difference was observed between the doses of 60 and 80 micromol/L. Bicuculline can partly restore the rhythmical respiration discharge activity.
CONCLUSIONPentobarbital sodium can suppress respiration partly via GABAA receptors.

Staphylococcus aureus is one of the most frequently encountered zoonotic pathogens.This bacterium produces the notable virulence factors such as hemolysin,panton-valentine leucocidin,exfoliative toxins and enterotoxin,which can cause invasive disease in humans and animals.Methicillin-resistant S.aureus (MRSA) is a multidrug-resistant bacterium which acquired the staphylococcal chromosome cassette mec (SCCmec).SCCmec is one of the key reasons for the antibiotic resistance of MRSA.As for MRSA resistance,the β-1actam resistance is mediated by mecA gene,and the drug-resistance genes inserted in the variable area of the SCCmec element play an important role in the multidrug resistance of MRSA.In recent years,it has been reported in Europe,North America and other countries that the multidrug resistance MRSA was detected in aquaculture environment and livestock.Besides,MRSA poses a serious threat to public health,and it can colonize and cause invasive disease in humans through aquaculture environment or other ways.This review summarizes drug resistance change of S.aureus and analysis of SCCmec resistance elements,toxicity and prevalence of livestock-associate MRSA,which would have theoretical and practical significance to understand S.aureus drug resistance,SCCmec typing,as well as control and prevent LA-MRSA transmission and infection between animals and humans.

OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the effect of oxidative stress on the accumulation of heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) within C2C12 myogenic cells.
METHODS:
Heat shock response (42 degrees C for 1 h and recovery for 12 h at 37 degrees C) was used to induce the expression of heat shock protein 70. We constructed a recombinant plasmid of HSP70 with enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP). After being transfected transiently into C2C12 cells, immunoblotting was used to detect the expression of HSP70 induced by heat shock response and transfection. Immunocytochemistry, fluorescent microscopy and immunoblotting were used to detect the translocation of HSP70.
RESULTS:
Immunoblotting showed that the overexpression of HSP70 was induced by heat shock response and transient transfenction. HSP70 localized within the cytoplasm of the normal cells, but HSP70 translocated from the cytoplasm to the nucleus and the nucleolus at 1 h after the treatment of oxidative stress (0.5 mmol/L H2O2) by using immunocytochemistry, fluorescent microscopy and immunoblotting for cellular partial proteins.
CONCLUSION
Oxidative stress may induce the accumulation of heat shock protein 70 within the nucleolus.

Objective To evaluate the correlation between regional blood perfusion and biological features of breast cancer. Methods Spiral CT technique was applied to quantitatively detect the central and marginal blood perfusion, including blood flow ( BF ) , blood volume ( BV) and permeability of surface (PS). Results The central and marginal blood perfusion of breast cancer were significantly higher than that of normal breast tissues. The marginal blood perfusion was higher than central blood perfusion. The regional blood perfusion of breast cancer varied with tumor size, clinical stage and histological grading. Conclusion The regional blood perfusion correlates with biological markers in breast cancer and can be used to evaluate the biological characteristics as a noninvasive marker before neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of oblique lateral interbody fusion (OLIF) combined with lateral plate (LP) fixation and posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) combined with pedicle screw fixation in the treatment of adjacent segment disease (ASDis).Methods:Data of 21 ASDis patients treated with OLIF-LP from August 2016 to October 2019 were selected, including 9 males and 12 females; age was 59.3±7.0 years (range, 46-71 years). Target segments: L 2, 3 1 cases (4.8%), L 3, 4 16 cases (76.2%), L 4, 5 4 cases (19.1%). Twenty-one ASDis patients matched with age, sex and surgical segment and treated with PLIF were selected as the control group. The operation time, intraoperative bleeding, postoperative hospital stay, visual analogua scale (VAS), Oswestry disability index (ODI), disc height (DH), intervertebral foramen height (IFH) and lumbar lordosis (LL) were compared between the groups were tested by t-test. VAS score, ODI, DH, IFH and LL were compared within the group by ANOVA, and Bonferroni's test was used for pairwise comparison. Results:All of 42 patients were followed up for 23.7 ±7.4 months (range, 12-36 months). The operation time (97.6 ± 18.0 min) and interpretative bleeding (38.5±62.7 ml) in OLIF-LP group were significantly lower than those in PLIF group (operation time 154.6±42.4 min) and interpretative bleeding (288.6±55.3 ml). There were significant differences between two groups ( t=5.66, P<0.001; t=8.23, P<0.001); the postoperative hospital stay 4.4±1.3 d in OLIF-LP group was longer than that in PLIF group 5.1±1.2 d, but there was no significant difference ( t=1.93, P=0.061); VAS score in OLIF-LP group at 1 month and 3 months after operation (1.6 ± 0.9 points, 1.4 ± 0.8 points), and the ODI index (29.4%±4.7%) after one month operation was improved better than that of PLIF group ( t=2.48, P=0.017; t=2.35, P=0.024; t=2.28, P=0.029), but there was no significant difference between the 12 months after operation of two groups ( t=0.99, P=0.329; t=0.86, P=0.395). The immediately after operation, 3 months after operation and 12 months after operation of DH, IFH and LL in the two groups were significantly improved compared with those before operation ( P<0.05). The immediately after operation, 3 months after operation and 12 months after operation of DH and IFH in the OLIF-LP group were better than those in the PLIF group ( P<0.05), while LL had no significant difference ( P>0.05). There were 2 cases (9.52%) in each group with cage sinking, but no clinical symptoms occurred. In the OLIF-LP group, there was no injury of blood vessels, nerves or abdominal organs during operation, and 2 patients had transient lower limb pain after operation; In the PLIF group, 2 cases (9.52%) of dural rupture were repaired during operation, and no cerebrospinal fluid leakage occurred after operation; Postoperative lower limb pain was aggravated in 3 cases, and improved after dehydration, anti-inflammatory and analgesic treatment; 2 cases of incision exudation healed after symptomatic treatment. Conclusion:OLIF combined with LP fixation has the same clinical effect as PLIF in the treatment of lumbar ASDis, but OLIF combined with LP fixation has more advantages in surgical trauma, postoperative recovery and related complications.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the changes of levels and clinic significance of serum soluble Fas (sFas) and soluble FasL (sFasL) in coal workers' pneumonoconiosis.
METHODSSerum levels of sFas and sFasL were determined in 52 patients with silicosis, 57 coal workers' pneumonoconiosis, 46 healthy underground coal workers' (the underground control group) and 40 healthy volunteers working on the ground (the ground control group) with a sandwich ELISA.
RESULTSCompared to the underground control and the ground control group, the serum levels of sFas and sFasL in the patients with silicosis and the coal workers' pneumonoconiosis were significantly higher (P < 0.01). Serum levels of sFas and sFasL in the underground control group were significantly higher than those in the ground control group (P < 0.01); Serum sFas levels in coal workers' pneumonoconiosis was significantly higher than those in the patients with silicosis (P < 0.01). Although the serum sFasL levels was also increased, there was no significant difference (P > 0.05). In the patients with silicosis and the coal workers' pneumonoconiosis patients, the serum sFas levels in Phase I patients combined with emphysema and simple Phase II + III patients were significantly higher than those in simple Phase I patients (P < 0.01). There was no significant difference in the serum sFasL levels among various groups with different parameters of pneumonoconiosis. In the patients with silicosis and the coal workers' pneumonoconiosis, serum levels of sFas and sFasL were not significantly altered among different duration of exposure to dusts. There was no correlation between serum levels of sFas and sFasL in the patients with silicosis while there was a slightly positive correlation between sFas and sFasL levels in the coal workers' pneumonoconiosis (r = 0.479, P < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONIn the patients with silicosis and the coal workers' pneumonoconiosis, the serum levels of sFas and sFasL are abnormal and associated with the development of the pneumonoconiosis. The changes of serum sFas levels may indicate the development and progression of the pneumonoconiosis. The detection of the serum sFas level may be used in the differential diagnosis for the silicosis and the coal worker's pneumonoconiosis.
