Objective:To investigate the efficacy of recombinant human interferon α-2b spray, administered under medication guidance, in the clinical treatment of herpangina.Methods:A total of 76 children with herpangina who were treated at The First People's Hospital of Yongkang between October 2020 and October 2022 were included in this study. Using the random number table method, these patients were randomly assigned to an observation group ( n = 42) and a control group ( n = 34). The control group received conventional treatment, whereas the observation group was administered recombinant human interferon α-2b spray under medication guidance. A comparative analysis was conducted between the two groups, evaluating clinical efficacy, inflammatory factor levels, treatment compliance, and the negative conversion rate of throat swab virology. Results:After treatment, the overall response rate of the observation group [95.24% (40/42)] and treatment compliance [97.62% (41/42)] were significantly higher than those of the control group [76.47% (26/34), 79.41% (27/34), χ2 = 4.27, 4.82, P = 0.040, 0.030]. The levels of C-reactive protein [(6.28 ± 1.64) mg/L], white blood cell count [(6.11 ± 1.10) × 10 9], and serum amyloid A [(3.47 ± 0.89) mg/L] in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group [(7.51 ± 1.16) mg/L, (7.51 ± 1.16) × 10 9, (7.82 ± 1.30) mg/L, t = 3.69, 6.46, 17.27, all P < 0.001]. The positive conversion rate of throat swab virology in the observation group [4.76% (2/42)] was lower than that in the control group [26.47% (9/34), χ2 = 5.51, P = 0.190]. Conclusion:The use of recombinant human interferon α-2b spray under medication guidance in the treatment of herpangina can improve treatment compliance, rapidly alleviate clinical symptoms, and significantly improve the prognosis.

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.
