Objective Exploring the efficacy and safety of botulinum toxin type A(BTX-A)combined with pulsed radiofrequency(PRF)in the treatment of postherpetic neuralgia(PHN).Methods A total of 80 patients with PHN were collected.They were randomly divided into experimental group(Group B)and control group(Group C),Group B was treated with BTX-A intradermal injection combined with PRF,and Group C was treated with lidocaine intradermal injection combined with PRF.Numeric pain score(NRS),Simplified McGill Pain Questionnaire(SF-MPQ)and Sleep Quality Score(QS)were used to assess the patients'pain level and sleep quality preoperatively,1,3,and 7 days postoperatively,and 1,2,and 3 months postoperatively.The patients'postoperative adverse reac-tions were collected.Interleukin-1β(IL-1β)and calcitonin gene-related peptide(CGRP)levels in patients'serum were measured preoperatively and 3 days postoperatively.Results The NRS scores,SF-MPQ scores,and QS scores of group B and group C were significantly lower at all postoperative time points compared to preoperative ones(P<0.05).The NRS and SF-MPQ score were significantly lower in group B at 1,2,and 3 months postoperatively compared with group C(P<0.05);and group B had significantly lower QS scores at 2 and 3 months postoperatively(P<0.05).The effective rate of pain relief at 3 months postoperatively in group B(90%)was statistically signifi-cant(P<0.05)compared with group C(56.7%).No serious adverse reactions occurred in either group.The levels of IL-1β and CGRP in serum of patients in both groups were significantly decreased at 3 days after surgery compared with the preoperative period,and the degree of decrease of IL-1β and CGRP in group B was more significant than that in group C(P<0.05).Conclusion BTX-A combined with PRF treatment for PHN can effectively reduce its pain level,improve the quality of sleep,and is safe.

Objective To investigate the effect of intravenous injection of 20% lipid emulsion on neurotransmitters imbalance in central nerve system induced by local anesthetics.Methods Thirty adult Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into two groups:normal group (group C,n =10) and local anesthetics group (group L,n =20).Based on different treatment,the rats in group L were assigned into two subgroup:control group (group S,n =10)and 20% long-chain lipid emulsion in-jection group (group I,n =10).The rats of group L were injected with 0.75% levobupivacaine at 50μl/min from the right ventricle of brain.When convulsions wave of electroencephalogram EEG ap-peared,20% long-chain lipid emulsion was administrated continuously 0.25 ml·kg-1 ·min-1 (group I)or normal saline (group S).The rats in group C were without any treatment.All the rats were con-tinously monitored by EEG,ECG and SpO 2 .The primary outcome included seizure duration and threshold and rats’mortality of postoperative 24 h.Secondary outcome included the concentrations of neurotransmitters GABA and Glu in cerebrospinal fluid,expression of NMDAR1 in cortex,Glu/GA-BA concentration ratio (Glu/GABA),and analysis the correlation between expression of Glu and NMDAR1.Results The convulsion time and mortality of rats in group S were significantly increased compared with those in group I (P <0.05).The seizure threshold of levobupivacaine was much lower in group S than group I (P <0.05).Compared with group C,the concentrations of Glu and GABA in cerebrospinal fluid,expression of NMDAR1 in hippocampus and Glu/GABA significantly increased in groups S and I(P < 0.05 ),and at same time these data in group S were significantly higher than group I (P < 0.05 ).There is a positive correlation between concentration of Glu in CSF and expression of NMDAR1 in hippocampus (r =0.884,P <0.01 ).Conclusion Intravenous infusion of 20% long-chain lipid emulsion can effectively improve neurotransmitters imbalance in central nerve system induced by intraventricular injection of local anesthetics.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of cold preservation solution containing desferrioxamine (DFO) in protecting the rat hearts.Methods Pathogen-free male Sprague-Dawley rats,weighing 300-350 g,were used in the study.Thirty-two isolated rat hearts were equally and randomly divided into control group (C group) and DFO group using a random number table.Hearts of rats were stored for 6 h in 4 ℃ histidine-tryptophan-ketoglutarate (HTK) solution in group C.DFO was added to HTK solution (DFO concentration 100 μmol/L),and hearts of rats were stored for 6 h in 4 ℃ HTK solution in group DFO.At 6 h of cold storage,creatine kinase and lactate dehydrogenase activities in the cold preservation solution were determined.Myocardial specimens were obtained from the apex,cut into sections which were stained with haematoxylin and eosin,and examined under a microscope.The pathological changes of myocardial tissues were scored.The content of malondialdehydc in myocardial tissues was determined using thiobarbitnric acid method,and hypoxia-inducible factor-1α protein and mRNA expression in myocardial tissues was detected by real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction and Western blot.Results Compared with group C,the creatine kinase and lactate dehydrogenase activities in the cold preservation solution,malondialdehyde content in myocardial tissues,and pathological scores were significantly decreased,and the expression of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α protein and mRNA expression in myocardial tissues was significantly up-regulated in group DFO (P＜ 0.05).Conclusion Cold preservation solution containing DFO can protect the rat hearts effectively,and the mechanism is related to up-regulation of the expression of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α.

Objective To investigate the effects of hydrogen gas inhalation on cerebral oxidative stress and inflammation after intestinal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) in rats and to understand the mechanism of(I/R neuroprotection.Method Forty-eight healthy male SD rats weighing 285-350 g were randomly allocated to one of 3 groups (n =16 each group):sham operation group (Sham),intestinal I/R group (I/R) and intestinal IR plus hydrogen gas inhalation group (IR + H2).The I/R model was produced by occlusion of superior mesenteric artery (SMA) for 90 min followed by reperfusion.Inhalation of 2％ hydrogen gas was performed immediately after I/R for 3 h.All animals were sacrificed at 24 h after reperfusion in each group.Brain tissues of 8 animals in each group were harvested for detection of microglia by immunohistochemistry.The remaining 8 rats in each group were used for the following indicators analysis.The protein level of ionized calcium-binding adaptor molecular 1 (Iba-1,a marker of microglia) in the cortex was detected by Western blotting.The concentrations of ROS,MDA,IL-1β,IL-6,TNF-α,T-NOS,iNOS and NO in the cortex were measured.The MPO content and SOD activity were also measured.Result The Iba-1 staining was light in Sham group.However,the expression of Iba-1 was increased in I/R group,and H2 inhibited the expression of Iba-l.As compared with Sham group,the Iba-1 protein expression and the number of Iba-1 positive cells were increased significantly in I/R and I/R+ H2groups (P＜0.01 or 0.05).As compared with Sham group,ROS,MDA,IL-1β,IL-6,TNF-α,T-NOS,iNOS and NO levels,and MPO activity were also increased in I/R and I/R + H2groups (P＜0.01 or 0.05).As compared with I/R group,the above indicators in I/R + H2 group were markedly improved (P＜0.05 or 0.01).Conclusion The inhalation H2 could inhibit intestinal I/R-induced activation of microglia and reduce cerebral oxidative stress and inflarnmatory response in rats.
