ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the effect of enriched environment on pain sensitivity, anxiety- and depressive-like behavior in selective nerve injury(SNI) rats model and its potential mechanism.Methods:A total of 36 male clean grade SD rats aged 6-8 weeks were randomly divided into three groups( n=12 in each group): sham operation+ standard environment group (sham group), SNI+ standard environment group (standard environment group), SNI+ enriched environment group (enriched environment group). The rat model of neuropathic pain was established by SNI.The rats in the enriched enviroment group were placed in an enriched enviroment 7 days before operation until 21 days after operation.The paw withdraw threshold(PWT) and paw withdraw latency (PWL) were performed to assess hyperalgesia.The open field test, elevated plus maze test, novelty suppressed feeding test and forced swimming test were used to assess anxiety and depression like behavior.The expressions of cAMP response element binding protein (CREB), p-CREB, brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), postsynaptic density-95 (PSD-95) and neuroligin 2 (NLGN2) were detected by Western blot.The expression of CREB and BDNF in contralateral ACC were measured by immunofluorescence.GraphPad prism 8.0 and SPSS 23.0 were used for data analysis.One way ANOVA was used for inter group comparison, repeated measurement ANOVA was used to analyze PWT and PWL results, and Tukey test was used for pairwise comparison. Results:(1) In PWT and PWL experiments, the interaction effect between group and time, group main effect and time main effect of PWT were significant ( F=13.4, 39.6, 369.6, all P<0.05), and the interaction effect between group and time, group main effect and time main effect of PWL were significant ( F=3.8, 10.3, 58.8, all P<0.05). Compared with sham group, PWT((8.0±3.5) g, (2.4±1.4) g, (2.3±1.1) g, (2.2±1.6) g, (1.6±0.5) g) and PWL((8.6±1.3) s, (7.3±1.5) s, (7.9±1.0) s, (6.6±1.1) s, (7.7±1.4) s) in standard environment group decreased at each time point (all P<0.05). (2) Compared with sham group, the number of entrying into the central area (1.3±1.7), the time of entrying into the central area((1.6±1.3) s), the proportion of entering open arms ((8.0±7.8) %) and the proportion of time in the open arms ((1.3±1.2) %) all significantly decreased in standard environment group ( t=4.585, 5.423, 4.682, 5.202, all P<0.05). The eating latency ((365.2±94.4) s) and immobility time ((127.6±24.3) s) dramatically increased ( t=6.008, 14.290, both P<0.05). The number and time of entrying into central area of enriched environment group were both higher than those of standard environment group(both P<0.05), while the eating latency and immobility time of enriched environment group were both lower than those of standard environment group(both P<0.05). (3) Compared with sham group(CREB: (1.6±0.2), (0.8±0.5); BDNF: (0.8±0.5), (1.0±0.4)), the expression of CREB ((1.8±0.1), (1.5±0.2)), BDNF ((0.9±0.6), (1.4±0.3)) in spinal cord and ACC of standard environment group increased (spinal: t=3.283, 4.989; ACC: t=5.502, 4.257, all P<0.05). The expression of PSD-95 ((1.6±0.2), (1.0±0.2) and NLGN2 ((1.5±0.5), (1.1±0.2)) also increased in ACC of standard enviroment group ( t=4.257, 2.214, both P<0.05). Compared with standard environment group, the expression of CREB (1.3±0.3), BDNF (0.7±0.4), PSD-95(1.0±0.3) and NLGN2(1.1±0.4) in spinal cord of enriched environment group decreased ( t=5.007, 2.166, 2.358, 2.322, all P<0.05). The expression of PSD-95(1.2±0.3) and NLGN2(1.1±0.2) also decreased in ACC of enriched environment group ( t=2.674, 2.944, both P<0.05). However, the expression of p-CREB (1.7±0.6) and BDNF (2.4±0.2) increased in ACC ( t=4.180, 7.610, P<0.05). Conclusion:Enriched environment can improve neuropathic pain and anxiety- and depressive-like behavior in SNI rats, which may be related to the change of synaptic plasticity in spinal cord and ACC.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To evaluate the role of ten-eleven translocation methylcytosine dioxygenase 3 (TET3) in trigeminal ganglion in maxillofacial inflammatory pain in mice.Methods:Forty SPF healthy male C57BL/6J mice, aged 8-10 weeks, weighing 19-23 g, were divided into 5 groups ( n=8 each) using a random number table method: control group (group C), inflammatory pain group (group IP), control+ TET3-siRNA group (group C+ siTET3), inflammatory pain+ TET3-siRNA group (group IP+ siTET3) and inflammatory pain+ negative control Scrambled-siRNA group (group IP+ siNC). Normal saline or complete Freund′s adjuvant (CFA) 10 μl was injected into the temporomandibular joint of mice, respectively, and the mechanical paw withdrawal threshold (MWT) was measured at 1, 4, 8 and 12 days after injection (T 1-4). Before injection of normal saline or CFA, 0.75 μl siTET3 or siNC was injected into the trigeminal ganglion and the animals were then sacrificed and trigeminal ganglion was removed at T 2 for determination of the expression of TET3 by Western blot in C+ siTET3, IP+ siTET3 and IP+ siNC groups. Results:Compared with group C, MWT was significantly decreased at T 1-3 , the expression of TET3 in trigeminal ganglion was up-regulate in group IP ( P<0.05 or 0.01). Compared with IP and IP+ siNC groups, MWT was significantly increased at T 2, 3, and the expression of TET3 in trigeminal ganglion was down-regulate in group IP+ siTET3 ( P<0.05 or 0.01). Conclusion:TET3 in trigeminal ganglion is involved in the development of maxillofacial inflammatory pain in mice.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:To observe the influence and safety of dexmedetomidine (DEX) on intraoperative wake-up quality of patients underwent neurosurgical surgery. METHODS:126 patients with general anesthesia in neurosurgery were enrolled and randomized equally into observation group and control group,with 63 cases in each group. Control group was given target con-trolled infusion of propofol with plasma target concentration of 3-5 μg/ml and remifentanil with target effect site concentration of 2-6 ng/ml for anesthesia induction and maintenance,and then plasma target concentration of remifentanil decreased to 0.5 ng/ml 30 min before wake-up. Observation group received target controlled infusion of propofol with plasma target concentration of 3-5 μg/ml and remifentanil with target effect site concentration of 2-6 ng/ml for anesthesia induction and maintenance,and then given DEX 0.3 μg/kg intravenously 30 min before wake-up and maintained at 0.1 μg/(kg·h). MAP,HR,SBP,SaO2,serum levels of IgA,IgM,IgG,IL-6,IL-8 and TNF-α were observed in 2 groups 2 h before operation(T1)and after extubation(T2)as well as the occurrence of ADR during wake-up. RESULTS:There was no statistical significance in HR,MAP,SBP,SaO2,IgA,IgM, IgG,IL-6,IL-8 and TNF-α levels at T1 and SaO2 levels at T2 between 2 groups(P>0.05). HR,MAP,SBP,IL-6 and TNF-α lev-els of observation group decreased significantly at T2 and lower than those of control group;IgA,IgM and IgG increased signifi-cantly and higher than those of control group,with statistical significance (P0.05). CONCLUSIONS:DEX influence intraoperative wake-up quality of patients underwent neurosurgical surgery slightly,and can reduce inflammatory reaction with less ADR.

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the effect of propofol on the expression of c-fos mRNA in hippocampus in rats with visceral pain (VP).Methods Thirty male Sprague-Dawley rats,weighing 180-240 g,were randomly divided into 3 groups (n =10 each):VP group,propofol 7.5 mg/kg group (group P1) and propofol 75.0 mg/kg group (group P2).0.9% normal saline was injected intravenously via the caudal vein in group VP.Propofol 7.5 and 75.0 mg/kg were injected intravenously via the caudal vein in groups P1 and P2,respectively.VP was produced by colorectal distension in anesthetized rats.The threshold of VP was assessed by the intra-balloon pressure which was limited to 100 mm Hg to avoid damage to intestine before and after administration.The rats were sacrificed after measurement of the pain threshold,their brains were removed and hippocampi were isolated for determination of the expression of c-fos mRNA by RT-PCR.Results Compared with group VP,the threshold of VP was significantly increased and the expression of c-fos mRNA in hippocampus was down-regulated in groups P1 and P2 (P < 0.05).The threshold of VP was significantly higher and the expression of c-fos mRNA in hippocampus was lower in group P2 than in group P1 (P < 0.05).Conclusion Propofol can reduce VP through down-regulating the expression of c-fos mRNA in hippocampus in rats.

ABSTRACT

Novel ion exchange adsorbents were synthesized by immobilizing sulfopropyl derivative onto homemade highly cross-linked agarose beads. The effects of different ligand densities (from 0.05 to 0.24 mol/L) on static and dynamic adsorption of the adsorbents were investigated using lysozyme as a model protein. Based on these results, rHLF was purified from the transgenic milk by our SP media. 1 mL high density (0.24 mol/L) adsorbent could handle 50 mL rHLF-containing milk. The mass recovery of rHLF was 86.5% and the purity was 98.5%. CD spectra demonstrated that the native structure of rHLF was not affected in the purification process. The biological functions of the purified rHLF, including iron binding, releasing and antimicrobial activities were then investigated. The results showed that rHLF had comparable iron binding and releasing activity to that of native HLF. 5 g/L concentration of rHLF significantly inhibited the growth of Escherichia coli. These studies lay a solid foundation for the wide application of our self-prepared ion exchange adsorbents in protein purification.
