Chronic pain, frequently comorbid with neuropsychiatric disorders, significantly impairs patients' quality of life and functional capacity. Accumulating evidence implicates the chemokine CCL2 and its receptor CCR2 as key players in chronic pain pathogenesis. This review examines the regulatory mechanisms of the CCL2/CCR2 axis in chronic pain processing at three hierarchical levels: (1) Peripheral Sensitization: CCL2/CCR2 modulates TRPV1, Nav1.8, and HCN2 channels to increase neuronal excitability and CGRP signaling and calcium-dependent exocytosis in peripheral nociceptors to transmit pain. (2) Spinal Cord Central Sensitization: CCL2/CCR2 contributes to NMDAR-dependent plasticity, glial activation, GABAergic disinhibition, and opioid receptor desensitization. (3) Supraspinal Central Networks: CCL2/CCR2 signaling axis mediates the comorbidity mechanisms of pain with anxiety and cognitive impairment within brain regions, including the ACC, CeA, NAc, and hippocampus, and it also increases pain sensitization through the descending facilitation system. Current CCL2/CCR2-targeted therapeutic strategies and their development status are discussed, highlighting novel avenues for chronic pain management.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the medical equipment operation data of 44 clinical departments in the hospital from three aspects: materials and consumables, operation and maintenance depreciation, and operation management. METHODS: To formulate the evaluation standards and scoring criteria for the operation indicators, the lowest score is 0 points, and the highest score is 5 points. Based on the operation indicators of medical equipment, establish a hierarchical structure model, determine the criterion layer and sub-criteria layer, construct a judgment matrix, normalize it, and calculate the weight coefficient. RESULTS: Count equipment operation data in 2021 and 2022. Score according to the assessment standards, assign weights through the analytic hierarchy process, calculate the total score and sort, and making a special analysis on the top 10 departments and departments with a score below 4 points, and formulate a rectification plan. CONCLUSIONS The establishment of index assessment standards and the weight distribution of AHP can effectively enhance the control of equipment operating costs.

Objective:To investigate the acceptance and attitude toward a novel fecal immunochemical test (FIT) in colorectal cancer screening among populations in China.Methods:From May 2018 to May 2019, 2 474 people aged 50-74 years were recruited from five provinces of China (Zhejiang, Anhui, Jiangsu, Hunan and Yunnan). The general demographic characteristics, acceptance of the new FIT technology and operational difficulties through the whole screening process were obtained through questionnaire survey. Multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze the factors related to difficulties encountered in sampling stool, reading and uploading results.Results:The subjects were (60.0±6.4) years old, and female, high school of above educated, unemployed/retired/other, married and with medical insurance status of “new rural cooperative medical care (NRCMC)” accounted for 61.7% (1 526), 29.0%(718), 34.3% (849), 92.7% (2 293) and 31.3%(775), respectively. The population's acceptance of the FIT technology was 94.8%. In the process of FIT screening, the percentage of occurred difficulties in sampling stool, reading and uploading results were 33.1% (819), 46.4% (1 147) and 62.9% (1 557), respectively. The main difficulties were the uncertainty about whether the sampling operation was standard (28.0%), the inability to accurately judge the result displayed (32.5%) and the need for help without using a smartphone (44.2%). The results of multivariate logistic regression model analysis showed that people aged 65-74 years old and with medical insurance status of “NRCMC” were more likely to encounter difficulties in sampling, and those who were unemployed/retired/other and living with 3 or more family members were less likely to encounter difficulties in sampling. Those aged 65-74 years old, farmers or migrant workers, and those with “NRCMC” were more likely to encounter difficulties in readingresults, and those with 3 or more family members were less likely to encounter difficulties in reading result. Those with “NRCMC” were more likely to encounter difficulties in uploading results, and those with education level of high school or above, living with more than 3 family members were less likely to encounter difficulties in uploading results.Conclusion:The acceptance of the new FIT technology is relatively high among the subjects. Age, education level, occupation, number of family members living together and medical insurance status might be related to difficulties encountered in sampling stool, reading and uploading results, and it can be further strengthened in terms of the technology and characteristics of sub-populations.

Objective To investigate the effects of pantoprazole treatment in the prevention of gastric tumor bleeding in patients with unresectable gastric cancer. Methods This study was a prospective double-blind,randomized,placebo-controlled trial. From January 2014 to July 2015,patients with gastric tumor bleeding in Xuzhou Cancer Hospital were included in this study. 131 cases of unresectable gastric cancer were randomly divided into two groups. In the experimental group,66 cases were taken pantoprazole 40 mg,1 time / d,and 65 cases in the control group were given placebo 40 mg and 1 time/ d. The course of treatment was 8 weeks. The differences in tumor bleeding,blood transfusion requirements and overall survival time between the two groups were observed during the follow-up period. Results The median follow-up time was 6. 5 ( 3. 3, 13. 2 ) months. Seven cases ( 10. 61%) in pantoprazole group had tumor bleeding, and 13 ( 20%) in the placebo group. There was no significant difference in cumulative risk of tumor bleeding between the two groups (Gray's test: P = 0. 426) . However,in the first 5 months of follow-up,the cumulative incidence of tumor bleeding in pantoprazole group was 0,lower than that in placebo group (9. 23%) (6/ 65) (Gray's test: P = 0. 039). There was no significant difference in blood transfusion requirement and overall survival between the two groups. No drug-related adverse reactions and bleeding related deaths occurred during the follow-up period. Conclusion Pantoprazole can not significantly reduce tumor bleeding in patients with unresectable gastric cancer.

Objective To study the effects of activation and inhibition agents of protein kinase C on the function and expression of P glycoprotein in drug resistant gastric cancer cells. Methods Immunohistochemical staining and FACS were used to determine the expression of P glycoprotein on drug resistant gastric cancer cells SGC7901/VCR and its parent cells SGC7901, which were treated or not treated by activation or inhibition agents of protein kinase C(PMA or H 7). Double labeled immunoflurescent and laser scan confocal microscopy were used to detect the coexpression of protein kinase C ? and P glycoprotein on drug resistant gastric cancer cells. Rohdamin 123 was used as fluorescent probe to observe the effects of PMA and H 7 on the function of P glycoprotein and drug accumulation in SGC7901/VCR. Results P glycoprotein had positive staining on SGC7901 cells and much stronger staining on SGC7901/VCR cells. Protein kinase C ? and P glycoprotein exhibited coexpression on SGC7901 cells and much higher coexpression level on SGC7901/VCR cells. When treated by PMA, SGC7901/VCR cells showed time dependent decreasing of drug accumulation, enhancing function and decreasing expression of P glycoprotein. When treated by H 7, SGC7901/VCR cells showed time dependent increasing of drug accumulation, weakening function and increasing expression of P glycoprotein.Conclusion Protein kinase C may play a role in multidrug resistance of gastric cancer cells via modulating the expression and function of P glycoprotein.
