ObjectiveTo explore the possible mechanism of Tuina at Weizhong （BL 40） for relieving sciatica from the perspective of hippocampal synaptic plasticity. MethodsSixty SD rats were randomly divided into sham operation group， model group， Tuina group， MK-801 group， MK-801 plus Tuina group， 12 rats in each group. After lateral ventricular cannulation， rats model with chronic compression injury of the right sciatic nerve were prepared in all groups except the sham operation group. On day 4 after modelling， rats in the Tuina group start Tuina at Weizhong （BL 40） for 10 mins once a day for a total of 14 days； rats in the MK-801 group started injecting with 0.25 μg/μl of the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor 2B （NR2B） blocker， dizocycline （MK-801）， 0.5 μl of which was administered daily in the lateral ventricle for 14 days. Rats in the MK-801 plus Tuina group underwent Tuina after 30 mins when completing MK-801 injection in the lateral ventricle， in the same way as above； rats in the model group and the sham operation group did not undergo any intervention. Spontaneous pain behaviour scores and paw withdraw thresholds （PWTs） were examined on day 1 （base value） before modelling and on day 4， 10， 14 and 18 after modelling； and on day 19， the brain tissues of the rats in each group were sampled and the number and morphology of the Nysted-positive cells in the hippocampal CA3 region were observed using Nysted staining； and the number of synapses， the thickness of postsynaptic dense material， the length of active band and the curvature of synaptic interface in hippocampal CA3 region were observed by transmission electron microscopy； and the expression of synapse-associated proteins NR2B and postsynaptic density protein-95 （PSD95） in hippocampal CA3 was detected by immunofluorescence staining and immunoblotting. ResultsCompared with the same time in the sham operation group， spontaneous pain scores significantly increased and PWTs decreased on day 4， 10， 14， and 18 after modelling in the model group （P＜0.05）； compared with the model group， spontaneous pain scores in Tuina group of rats significantly decreased on day 10， 14， and 18 after modelling， and PWTs significantly increased on day 14 and 18 after modelling （P＜0.05）. Compared with Tuina group， spontaneous pain scores increased on day 10， 14， and 18 of modelling， and PWTs decreased at days 14 and 18 of modelling in the MK-801 plus Tuina group had higher spontaneous pain scores on days 10， 14， and 18 after modelling and lower PWTs on days 14 and 18 after modelling （P＜0.05）. Compared with the sham operation group， the neuronal arrangement in the hippocampal CA3 region of the rats in the model group was disordered， with decreased number of Nysted-positive cells and synapses， reduced thickness of postsynaptic densities， length of active bands， and curvature of synaptic interfaces， wider synaptic gaps， and decreased immunofluorescent positive expression of NR2B and PSD95 as well as the expression of immunoblotting proteins in hippocampal CA3 region （P＜0.05）. Compared with the model group， more dense arranged nerve cells， the number of Nysted-positive cells， the number of synapses， the thickness of postsynaptic dense material， the length of active bands increased， the synaptic gap became significantly narrower， and the positive expression of immunofluorescence and immunoblotting protein expression of NR2B， PSD95 increased in the rat hippocampal CA3 region of Tuina group （P＜0.05）. Compared with Tuina group， the neuronal morphology of the hippocampal CA3 region in MK-801 plus Tuina group was severely damaged， and the number of Nystrom's-positive cells， the number of synapses， the thickness of post-synaptic densities， the length of active bands， and the curvature of synaptic interfaces reduced， the synaptic gaps became wider， and the immunofluorescent positive expression of NR2B， PSD95， and the expression of immunostained proteins decreased （P＜0.05）. ConclusionTuina at "Weizhong" （BL 40） showed significant analgesic effect， and one of the possible mechanisms concluded as significantly increasing the levels of NR2B and PSD95 protein expression in hippocampal CA3 region and thus modulating the synaptic plasticity of the hippocampus.

Objective To observe the effect of tuina on glutamate uptake and synaptic cleft in the spinal dorsal horn of rats with neuropathic pain through astrocyte NDRG2/GLT-1 pathway,and to explore the potential analgesic mechanism of tuina on neuropathic pain.Methods A total of 54 SD rats were randomly divided into naive group,model group and tuina group(n=18).The CCI model was established in the model group,and the tuina group was treated with acupressure at"Weizhong"(BL 40)from the 4th day after CCI model was successfully established for 14 days.The changes of paw withdrawal threshold at different time points were observed to evaluate the analgesic effect of tuina.Immunofluorescence was used to observe the co-expression of NDRG2?GLT-1 and astrocytes in the spinal dorsal horn.The mRNA levels of NDRG2 and GLT-1 in astrocytes were detected by quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction.The concentrations of glutamate in synaptic cleft were measured by liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry.The width of the synaptic cleft was observed by transmission electron microscopy.Results Compared with the naive group,the paw withdrawal threshold in the CCI group decreased continuously(P<0.01).The number of NDRG2 and GFAP co-labeling positive cells in the spinal dorsal horn increased significantly(P<0.01),and the number of GLT-1 and GFAP co-labeled positive cells was significantly reduced(P<0.01).NDRG2 mRNA expression was up-regulated and GLT-1 mRNA expression decreased in astrocytes(P<0.01).The concentrations of glutamate increased significantly(P<0.01);The synaptic cleft was significantly narrowed(P<0.05).After tuina intervention,the above trend was significantly reversed.Compared with the model group,the paw withdrawal threshold of the tuina group increased from 11 days after CCI(P<0.01),the number of NDRG2 and GFAP co-labeling positive cells in the spinal dorsal horn was significantly reduced(P<0.01),and the number of GLT-1 and GFAP co-labeled positive cells increased significantly(P<0.01);down-regulated the expression of NDRG2 mRNA and restored GLT-1 mRNA expression in astrocytes(P<0.01);decreased glutamate concentration in synaptic cleft(P<0.05),the synaptic cleft was relatively widened(P<0.05).Conclusion Tuina alleviates pain in CCI rats at the spinal cord level possibly by promoting the uptake of glutamate by NDRG2/GLT-1 pathway in astrocytes,restoring the width of synaptic cleft and reversing synaptic plasticity.

Objective: To investigate the analgesic mechanism of Tuina (Chinese therapeutic massage) by observing the effect of the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor subunit 2B (NR2B)/postsynaptic density-95 (PSD-95) pathway on the dendritic structure of spinal cord dorsal horn in rats with lumbar disc herniation. Methods: Fifty Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into a blank group, a model group, a Tuina group, a blocker agent group, and a blocker agent + Tuina group. The sciatic nerve chronic constriction injury (CCI) model was prepared by the sciatic nerve ligation method. From the 4th day after modeling, rats in the Tuina group and the blocker agent + Tuina group were subject to daily Tuina intervention, and those in the blocker agent group and the blocker agent + Tuina group were daily intrathecally injected with NR2B blocker agent (MK-801). The spontaneous pain score was used to observe the pain behavior of all rats. The expression levels of NR2B and downstream PSD-95 were measured by immunohistochemistry, and the dendritic structure changes were observed by Golgi staining for rat spinal cord dorsal horn after 14 d of continuous intervention. Results: Compared with the blank group, the degree of rat spontaneous pain after CCI was elevated in both the model and the Tuina groups (P<0.01) and was reduced in the Tuina group after the Tuina intervention compared with the model group (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, the rat spontaneous pain level after blocking NR2B was reduced in both the blocker agent group and the blocker agent + Tuina group (P<0.05). The NR2B and PSD-95 protein levels were significantly higher in the model group compared with the blank group (P<0.01); the total number of dendritic branches was increased (P<0.01), and the total dendritic length became longer (P<0.01) in the spinal cord dorsal horn. The rat NR2B and PSD-95 protein levels were significantly decreased in the Tuina group compared with the model group (P<0.01); the total dendritic branch number was reduced (P<0.01) and the total length was shortened (P<0.01) in the spinal cord dorsal horn. After blocking NR2B, the expression levels of NR2B and downstream PSD-95 protein were significantly lower in both the blocker agent group and the blocker agent + Tuina group compared to the model group (P<0.01). The total branch number was significantly reduced (P<0.01), and the total length was significantly shortened (P<0.01) of the dendrites in the spinal cord dorsal horn. Conclusion: Tuina may exert an analgesic effect by remodeling the dendritic structure in the spinal cord dorsal horn in rats with lumbar disc herniation, and its mechanism may be related to the inhibition of NR2B/PSD-95 signaling pathway.

Objective:To investigate the relationship of plasma cholinesterase (ChE) with triglyceride (TG) levels in newly diagnosed patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM).Methods:Clinical data and biochemical parameters of 321 patients with newly diagnosed T2DM admitted to the Department of Endocrinology of People′s Hospital of Shanghai Putuo from January 2018 to June 2020 were retrospectively collected. The patients were classified into four groups based on the plasma ChE level: Q1group ( n=81, <6 915 U/L), Q2 group ( n=80, 6 916-8 268 U/L), Q3 group ( n=80, 8 269-9 578 U/L), and Q4 group ( n=80, ≥9 579 U/L). The correlation of plasma ChE with TG level was analyzed. Results:With the increased ChE level, TG level significantly increased ( P<0.001). Correlation analysis showed that ChE was positively correlated with body weight, body mass index (BMI), TG, total cholesterol (TC), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), uric acid (UA), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST)( r=0.35, 0.39, 0.35, 0.31, 0.27, 0.24, 0.25, 0.11, P<0.05, P<0.01 or P<0.001)while negatively correlated with age, systolic blood pressure, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine, and glycated albumin (GA)( r=-0.46、-0.14、-0.20、-0.14、-0.21, P<0.05 or P<0.001). Multivariate stepwise regression analysis showed that ChE was an independent risk factor for TG ( β=0.270, P<0.001). Logistic Multivariate regression analysis showed that after adjustment for sex, age, body weight, hemoglobin, leukocytes, total protein, albumin, globulin, ALT, BUN, creatinine, uric acid, smoking history, drinking history, HbA 1C, GA, TC, and LDL-C, the risk of hypertriglyceridemia in Q4 was 6.024 folds higher than Q1 group ( P=0.011). With the TG (1.70 mmol/L) as cut-off value, the optimal cut-off point of the ChE was 7 801 U/L, as calculated by receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curve analysis of ChE and hypertriglyceridemia. Conclusions:ChE level is positively correlated with TG in newly diagnosed patients with T2DM.

Objective To investigate the effect of three-dimensional conformal intensity-modulated radiotherapy combined with oxaliplatin plus capecitabine chemotherapy upon the postoperative median survival time of patients diagnosed with advanced gastric cancer. Methods A total of 74 patients with advanced gastric cancer admitted to Linyi Central Hospital from February 2010 to January 2012 were recruited and divided into the postoperative chemotherapy group (n＝37) and postoperative radiotherapy and chemotherapy group (n＝37) according to the treatment plan. All patients in two groups were treated with laparoscopic D2radical operation. In the postoperative chemotherapy group, patients were treated with oxaliplatin combined with capecitabine. In the postoperative radiotherapy and chemotherapy group, patients were treated with oxaliplatin combined with capecitabine plus three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy.In both groups, 4 cycles of chemotherapy were delivered. The incidence of adverse reactions, median progression-free survival, median overall survival, and 1-, 3-and 5-year recurrence rate and mortality rate were statistically compared between two groups. Results In the postoperative radiotherapy and chemotherapy group, the incidence rate of bone marrow suppression ( 41%), abnormal liver function ( 30%), nausea and vomiting (30%) and neutropenia ( 46%) did not significantly differ from 35%, 35%, 24% and 41% in the postoperative chemotherapy group ( all P＞0. 05).In the postoperative radiotherapy and chemotherapy group, the median progression-free survival and median overall survival were significantly longer compared with those in the postoperative chemotherapy group (both P＜0. 05).The 1-, 3-and 5-year recurrence rates were 8%, 14%and 16% in the postoperative radiotherapy and chemotherapy group, significantly lower than 32%, 41% and 46% in the postoperative chemotherapy group ( all P＜0. 05).The mortality rate was 11%( 4/37) in the postoperative radiotherapy and chemotherapy group, which was significantly lower than 30%(11/37) in the postoperative chemotherapy group ( P＜0. 05 ). Conclusions Three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy combined with oxaliplatin plus capecitabine chemotherapy can effectively prolong the median survival, reduce the recurrence rate and does not enhance the risk of adverse events for patients with advanced gastric cancer.

Objective To detect the serum level of vitamin D in infants with atopic dermatitis (AD),and to investigate the relationship between the serum level of vitamin D and severity of AD in infants.Methods Clinical data were collected from patients with moderate to severe AD (AD group)through a questionnaire survey in Children's Hospital of Shanxi from February to April in 2016,and the severity of AD was evaluated by the SCORing atopic dermatitis (SCORAD) score.A total of 95 health checkup examinees served as the control group.Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)was performed to detect the serum level of 25 (OH) D3 in the AD group and control group,as well as the total serum IgE level in the AD group.Blood cell analyzer was used to determine the proportion of blood eosinophils in the AD group.Results A total of 97 patients with AD were enrolled into the study,including 43 (44.3 ％) patients with moderate AD and 54 (55.7％) patients with severe AD.The serum level of 25 (OH) D3 was significantly lower in the AD group than in the healthy control group ([66.71 ± 21.07] nmol/L vs.[85.43 ± 14.87] nmol/L,P ＜ 0.01),as well as in the patients with severe AD than in the patients with moderate AD ([47.54 ± 29.36] nmol/L vs.[63.89 ± 26.67] nmol/L,P =0.006).The proportion of blood eosinophils was significantly higher in the severe AD group than in the moderate AD group (0.124 ± 0.094 vs.0.061 ± 0.060,P ＜ 0.001).There was no significant difference in the total serum IgE level between the moderate AD group and severe AD group (P =0.375).Among the patients with AD,the serum level of 25 (OH) D3 was negatively correlated with the proportion of blood eosinophils (r =-0.336,P ＜ 0.05),but there was no correlation between the serum level of 25 (OH)D3 and total serum IgE level (r =-0.174,P ＞ 0.05).The serum level of 25 (OH)D3 was significantly associated with breastfeeding and vitamin D supplementation (P ＜ 0.05),but unrelated to age,gender,course of disease and acute exudative phase (all P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion The serum level of 25 (OH) D3 is evidently decreased in infants with AD,and vitamin D deficiency is closely related to the severity of AD in infancy.
