RESUMO
OBJECTIVE To compare the similarities and differences of the two methods in analyzing the use of opioids in third grade class A medical institutions and provide a reference for the management of opioids in medical institutions. METHODS Two methods， Defined Daily Dose （DDD） and Oral Morphine Equivalent （OME）， were used to count the opioid prescription data of five comprehensive medical institutions of third grade class A （named H1-H5） in Shanxi province in 2020， calculate consumption sum of opioid， annual per capita consumption sum， patient cost burden and drug consumption sum ratio， compare the index results presented by the two analysis methods， and explore the application scenarios of the advantages of each of the two evaluation methods. RESULTS The ranking of consumption sum of opioid and patient cost burden calculated by the two methods was the same in the five sample medical institutions， but the ranking of per capita consumption sum was different. Taking the 5 medical institutions as a whole， the top 4 rankings of consumption sum ratio for each species of opioid compared by both methods were the same， i. e. remifentanil＞sufentanil＞oxycodone＞morphine. The ratio of remifentanil was close to 50%. When comparing the ranking of consumption sum ratio in each medical institution， the ranking calculated by the two methods was different for those medical institutions except for H1 medical institutions. The consumption sum ratio of fentanyl calculated by DDD method was significantly higher than that of OME method； whereas consumption sum ratio of remifentanil calculated by OME method was significantly higher than that of DDD method. Perioperative patients had the highest consumption sum ratio， about 50%. The consumption sum ratio of critically ill patients in H3 jwsydey@163.com medical institutions and inpatient patients with cancer pain and other patients in H5 medical institutions calculated by DDD method was significantly higher than that by OME method. There were differences in the order of cost burden of different types of patients calculated by two methods. CONCLUSIONS DDD method can accurately reflect the dosage of opioid drugs and facilitate the monitoring and management of the dosage； OME method can more reflect the analgesic effect and compare the cost burden of patients.
RESUMO
Objective:To evaluate the predictive value of anthropometric indicators in predicting cardiovascular risk in the population with metabolic syndrome(MS).Methods:A cross-sectional study was used to analyze the correlation between anthropometric measures and cardiovascular risk in subjects with MS. Cardiometabolic risk was assessed with cardiometabolic risk index(CMRI). Receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curve analysis was used to assess the predictive power of anthropometric measures for cardiometabolic risk.Results:(1) The anthropometric measures [body mass index(BMI), waist-hip ratio(WHR), waist-to-height ratio(WtHR), body fat percentage(BFP), visceral fat index(VFI), conicity index(CI), a body shape index(ABSI), body roundness index(BRI), abdominal volume index(AVI)] in the MS group were significantly higher than those in the non-MS group( P<0.05). Moreover, there were significant differences in CMRI score and vascular risk between the two groups( P<0.05). (2) Logistic regression analysis showed that the cardiovascular risk was increased with the increases of BMI, VFI, WHR, WtHR, CI, BRI, and AVI after adjusting for confounding factors in the overall population, the non-MS population, and the MS population( P<0.05). (3) In the ROC analysis, the AUC values of BMI, VFI, and AVI were 0.767, 0.734, and 0.770 in the overall population; 0.844, 0.816, and 0.795 in the non-MS population; 0.701, 0.666, and 0.702 in the MS population, respectively. For the overall population and non-MS population, the optimal cut points of BMI to diagnose high cardiovascular risk were 26.04 kg/m 2 and 24.36 kg/m 2; the optimal cut points of VFI were 10.25 and 9.75; the optimal cut points of AVI were 17.3 cm 2 and 15.53 cm 2, respectively. In the MS population, the optimal cut point as a predictor of high cardiovascular risk in young and middle-aged men with MS was 27.63 kg/m 2, and the optimal cut point of AVI in women was 18.08 cm 2. Conclusion:BMI, VFI, and AVI can be used as predictors of cardiovascular risk in the general population. BMI can be used as a predicator of high cardiovascular risk in young and middle-age men with MS. AVI can be used as a predicator of high cardiovascular risk in women with MS.
RESUMO
Objective:To evaluate the role of brain-derived neurotrophic factor-antisense long-chain non-coding RNA (BDNF-AS) in amygdala in the development of neuropathic pain (NP) in rats.Methods:Healthy clean-grade male Sprague-Dawley rats, aged 2 months, weighing 200-260 g, were used to develop NP model via ligation of left L 5-6 spinal nerve, while control group was only subjected to the exposure of L 5-6 spinal nerve without ligation.This study was performed in two parts.Experiment Ⅰ Fifty-six rats were divided into 3 groups by the random number table method: sham operation group (Sham group, n=8), NP group ( n=24) and BDNF ( n=24). In BDNF group, exogenous BDNF was injected into bilateral amygdala at 1, 3, 6, 13 and 20 days after development of the model, with 100 pmol at each side.Eight rats were sacrificed at 7, 14 and 21 days after the model was developed in NP and BDNF groups and after the model was developed in Sham group, the brains were removed, and the amygdala was isolated for determination of the BDNF content (by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay), the number of BDNF-positive cells (by immunohistochemistry), and expression of BDNF-AS (by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction). Experiment Ⅱ Thirty-two rats were divided into 4 groups ( n=8 each) using the random number table method: Sham operation group, NP group, BDNF group and siRNA group.At 1, 3, 6, 13 and 20 days after development of the model, exogenous BDNF 100 pmol and siRNA-BDNF-AS 50 nmol were injected into the amygdala at each side in BDNF group and siRNA group, respectively.The mechanical paw withdrawal threshold (MWT) and thermal paw withdrawal latency (TWL) were measured before development of the model (T 0) and at 4, 7, 14 and 21 days after development of the model (T 1-4). After the last behavioral test was completed, the rats were sacrificed, and the spinal cord tissues were collected to measure the contents of interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α). Results:Experiment Ⅰ Compared with Sham group, the content of BDNF and the number of BDNF positive cells were significantly decreased, and the expression of BDNF-AS was up-regulated at each time point after development of the model in group NP ( P<0.05). Compared with NP group, the content of BDNF and the number of BDNF positive cells were significantly increased, and the expression of BDNF-AS was down-regulated at each time point after development of the model in group NP ( P<0.05). Experiment Ⅱ Compared with Sham group, MWT was significantly decreased and TWL was shortened at T 1-4, and the contents of IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α were increased in NP, BDNF and siRNA groups ( P<0.05). Compared with NP group, MWT was significantly increased and TWL was prolonged at T 1-4, and the contents of IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α were decreased in BDNF and siRNA groups ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The mechanism underlying the development of NP may be related to the up-regulation of BDNF-AS expression in amygdala, inhibition of BDNF synthesis and promotion of inflammatory responses in the spinal cord of rats.

Objective To investigate the effects of sevoflurane post-conditioning on oxidative stress and inflammatory reaction during rat cerebral ischemia-reperfusion, and to explore its cerebral protective mechanism.Methods Thirty-six health male Sprague-Dawley rats (aged 12-14 weeks, weighing 220-260 g) were randomly divided into 3 groups (n=12 each): sham control group (group Sham), cerebral ischemia-reperfusion group (group IR), sevoflurane post-conditioning group (group SPC).Cerebral ischemia-reperfusion model was established, ischemia for 30 min followed by reperfusion 24 h.Rat middle cerebral artery was not occluded in group Sham.Cerebral ischemia-reperfusion model was established in group IR.Group SPC was subjected to 2.6% sevoflurane for 15 min in the beginning of reperfusion.At the end of reperfusion, rats were cut off the head to take out the brain tissue.The expression level of Iba-1 and HO-1 proteins was measured by western blot.The levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), malondialdehyde (MDA), TNF-α, IL-1β and the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) were evaluated.Results Compared with group Sham, the expression of cerebral cortex Iba-1 protein was higher than that in groups IR and SPC (P＜0.05), the expression of Iba-1 protein in group SPC was lower than that in group IR (P＜0.05).Compared with group Sham, the contents of ROS, MDA, TNF-α and IL-1β were increased in groups IR and SPC (P＜0.05), but the activity of SOD and expression of HO-1 protein were decreased (P＜0.05).And the contents of ROS, MDA, TNF-α and IL-1β in group SPC were less than those in group IR, the activity of SOD and expression of HO-1 protein in group SPC were higher than those in group IR.Conclusion Sevoflurane post-conditioning can mitigate the microglia activation, reduce cerebral oxidative stress and inflammation, thus protect rat cerebral against ischemia reperfusion injury.
RESUMO
Objective:To analyze the expression of LETM2 in KYSE150 and ECA109 cell lines and its effect on the proliferation, migra-tion, and invasion of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Methods:The expression level of the LETM2 protein in 90 paired hu-man ESCC tissues and matched adjacent normal tissues was determined through immunohistochemistry. The expression level of LETM2 in ESCC cell lines was detected by real-time PCR and Western blot. The expression levels of LETM2 in KYSE150 and ECA109 cell lines were knocked down using lentivirus. MTT assays were performed to examine the effect of LETM2 on the proliferation of ESCC cells. Colony formation assay was used to detect the colony formation ability. Flow cytometry was performed to analyze the cell cycle. The effect of LETM2 depletion on the migration and invasion of ESCC cells was determined by Transwell assay. Results:LETM2 expres-sion was frequently upregulated in the ESCC tissues than in the adjacent normal tissues. The suppressed exogenous expression of LETM2 led to the inhibition of cell proliferation and colony formation. However, cell migration and invasion were not affected. The re-sults on the cell cycle distribution revealed that LETM2 knockdown acts as a negative regulator of the cell cycle at the G1 to S phase transition. Conclusion:LETM2 acts as a tumor-driven gene in the development and progression of ESCC. This finding suggests that LETM2 can be used as an efficient prognosis biomarker and a potential therapeutic target for ESCC.

Methods 84 pa-tients with hypertension were divided into NGT group,and groups of impaired glucose tolerance(IGT) with groups of T2DM. The blood pressure, height, weight, waist circumference, hip circumference, high-density lipoproteins (HDL-C)and total cholesterol(TC) ,fasting plasma glucose(FPG) and fasting plasma insulin(FINS) were measured to deter-mine the body mass index(BMI) ,waist/hip ratio(WHR) ,insulin secretion function[ including Homa β-cell function index(HBCI) and fasting β-cell function index(FBCI)] and insulin resistance level [ including Homa model insulin resistance index(IR) and insulin action index(IAI)] ,statistic comparison were measured between the groups of dif-ferent glucose tolerances. Results The BMI, WHR, diastolic blood pressure ( DBP), TC in IGT group and T2DM group were bigger or higher than those in NGT group ( P<0.05, P<0.01 ), the IAI, HOMA-IS and FBCI in T2DM group were lower than those in NGT group with these in NGT group were lower than those in NGT group( P<0.05 ,P<0.01 ). The HOMA-IR in IGT group and T2DM group were higher than those in NGT group with these in T2DM group were higher than those in NGT group. Conclusion T2DM group and IGT group had more insulin resistance level,sensitivity of insulin and islet β-cell function decrease than those in IGT group,the IGT group and T2DM group are analogous at the body weight is heavier, with waist/hips ratio, triglyceride level and DBP are higher than those in the NGT group in clinic.
