Objective To Study wheather the endogenous arginine vasopressin(AVP)is involved in the effect of oxotremorine(a muscarinic receptor agonist)-induced hypothermic response.Methods Core temperature and motor activity were monitored in undisturbed rats using radiotelemetry.Effect of AVP V1 antagonist on oxotremorine(OXO)-induced changes in body temperature and motor activity were observed in the rats.Results Administration of OXO led to a marked hypothermia.Core temperature recovered to basal levels at 4 hours after OXO administration.AVP V1 antagonist blocked markedly the hypothermia effect of OXO.Conclusion The AVP V1-receptor antagonist block the hypothermic effect of OXO,which suggests that OXO-induced hypothermia is mediated by AVP releasing.

Objective:To explore the influencing factors of fatigue after stent implantation in patients with airway stenosis.Methods:Totally 104 patients with airway stenosis hospitalized in a hospital from July 2016 to June 2019 were selected, and all the patients were planned to received stent implantation. The patients were evaluated with Identity-Consequence Fatigue Scale (ICFS) postoperatively, and divided into the fatigue group and the non-fatigue group according to the evaluate results. The data of the two groups were consulted, and their gender, age, primary tumor, combined underlying disease, postoperative physical activity, pathological staging, history of radical surgery before stenting, preoperative radiotherapy and chemotherapy, degree of stenosis, type of stenosis, infiltration juga, stent placement site, and re-intervention after stenting were analyzed. Univariate and Logistic regression analysis were performed over the above influencing factors.Results:All the 104 patients with airway stenosis completed postoperative fatigue evaluation. The total score of ICFS was (82.16±8.07) . The scores of postoperative fatigue, attention, vitality, energy, daily activities and the total score were higher than those before operation, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.01) . Among the 104 patients with airway stenosis, 28 developed postoperative fatigue, with an incidence of 26.92%. Univariate and multivariate Logistic analysis revealed that postoperative physical activity, pathological staging, infiltrating and re-intervention after stenting were the main influencing factors to fatigue after stent implantation in patients with airway stenosis ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Patients with airway stenosis have a high incidence of fatigue after stent implantation, which is affected by many factors. Effective intervention measures should be formulated according to the risk factors in order to reduce the incidence of postoperative fatigue.

Objective:
To investigate herpesvirus infection in early stage of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) by multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and to explore the association between multiple herpesviruses infection and clinical characteristics in HSCT patients and its impact on post-transplant complications and prognosis.
Methods:
A total of 734 peripheral blood samples were collected from 90 patients undergoing HSCT in the Department of Hematology, the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University between February 2017 and August 2017. The peripheral blood specimens were obtained before and within 90 days after transplantation at different time points. Lab-Aid824 Nucleic Acid Extraction Mini Reagent was used to extract DNA and multiplex PCR assay was used to simultaneously detect 8 kinds of human herpesviruses from genomic DNA. The incidence of various herpesvirus infections, its correlation with clinical features and effects on post-transplant complications and prognosis were analyzed.
Results:
The median follow-up time was 192 (range: 35-308) days. Among the 90 patients before transplantation, the incidence of herpes virus infection was 35.6% (32/90), including 12.2% (11/90) with one herpes virus infection and 23.3% (21/90) with multiple viruses infection. The incidence of herpes virus infection after transplantation was 77.8% (70/90), including 20.0% (18/90) with one herpes virus infection and 57.8% (52/90) with multiple herpes virus infection. Among the 52 patients with multiple herpes viruses infection, 30 (57.7%) patients were infected by 2 kinds of viruses, 18 (34.6%) patients by 3 kinds of viruses and 4 (7.7%) patients by 4 kinds of viruses. There was a correlation between HHV-6 and HHV-7 herpesvirus infection (
