ABSTRACT
Pelvic girdle pain and low back pain associated with pregnancy and pregnancy is one of the common diseases of women during pregnancy. Because pregnant women lack comprehensive knowledge of relevant physiopathology, they will mistakenly believe that clinical intervention treatments may have potentially harmful effects on the fetus. Therefore, many pregnant women refused to receive effective medical intervention. However, low back pain during pregnancy is closely related to their daily life. The pain will have a negative impact on the daily life of pregnant women, causing inconvenience and even obstacles in life. All these have caused great harm to the physiology and psychology of pregnant women, and also make the treatment of this disease have broader socio-economic value and significance. In clinical practice, the Kinesiotaping can effectively relieve the symptoms of pregnant women with low back pain during pregnancy. The clinical operation is simple and convenient, and the potential risk is small. In this paper, the research progress in the application of kinesiotaping treatment of low back pain during pregnancy was summarized.
ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To examine the expression profile and immunofluorescence localization of the major egg antigen p40 of Schistosoma japonicum (Sjp40) during granuloma formation in the liver of infected New Zealand white rabbits.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>New Zealand white rabbits were infected with S. japonicum cercariae, and the livers were harvested at 29 and 45 days post-infection (dpi). The total RNA of the liver tissues was extracted for expression profiling of Sjp40 by quantitative reverse transcription-PCR (qRT-PCR) with GAPDH of S. japonicum as the endogenous reference gene. The expression of Sjp40 in the liver were detected by Western blotting using anti-Sjp40 monoclonal antibody (mAb) 9G7 or anti-Toxoplasma gondii tSAG1 mAb Y3A8 (control) as the primary antibody. Paraffin sections of the liver were prepared for observing egg granuloma formation using HE staining and for indirect immunofluorescence assay of Sjp40 location in the trapped eggs and egg granulomas.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The level of Sjp40 mRNA in the eggs trapped in rabbit livers was significantly higher at 45 dpi than that at 29 dpi (P<0.05), and Western blotting confirmed the presence of Sjp40 protein in the rabbit livers at both 29 and 45 dpi. Immunofluorescence assay demonstrated localized expression of Sjp40 in the immature eggs in the rabbit liver at 29 dpi, but at 45 dpi fluorescence was detected in clusters of mature eggs containing miracidium and in the surrounding egg granulomas.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>The transcriptional levels of Sjp40 significantly increased with the maturation of eggs trapped in the rabbit livers. Sjp40 protein spread from the eggs to the surrounding egg granuloma at 45 dpi when acute liver granulomatous lesions occur, suggesting that Sjp40 plays a key role in egg granulomas formation in the livers of infected New Zealand white rabbits.</p>
