RESUMEN
Objective To evaluate the effect of intrathecal resveratrol on activation of Ca2+/ calmodulin-dependent protein kinase Ⅱ (CaMK Ⅱ) in spinal dorsal horn neurons of rats with bone cancer pain.Methods Thirty-two adult female Sprague-Dawley rats,weighing 180-220 g,were equally randomized into 4 groups using a random number table:sham operation group (group S),bone cancer pain group (B group),and bone cancer pain + solvent control group (BD group).Walker 256 mammary gland cancer cell suspension (4× 105 cells/ml) 5 μl was injected into the medullary cavity of the right tibia in B,BR and BD groups.Normal saline 5 μl was given in group S.On 12,13 and 14 days after injection of mammary gland cancer cells,resveratrol 200 μg/10 μl was injected intrathecally once a day in group BR,and 1% dimethyl sulfoxide 10 μl was intrathecally injected once a day in group BD.Before injection of mammary gland cancer cells (T0) and on 3,5,7,10,12 and 14 days after injection of mammary gland cancer cells (T1-6),mechanical paw withdrawal threshold (MWT) and thermal paw withdrawal latency (TWL) were measured.The rats were then sacrificed and L4,5 segments of the spinal cord were removed for confirmation of the location of phosphorylated CaMK Ⅱ (p-CaMK Ⅱ) in spinal dorsal horn neurons (by immunofluorescence) and for detection of p-CaMK lⅡ expression (using Western blot).Results Compared with group S,MWT and TWL were significantly decreased at T2-6,and p-CaMK Ⅱ expression was upregulated at T6,and p-CaMK Ⅱ was mainly co-expressed with neurons in B,BR and BD groups.Compared with group B,MWT and TWL were significantly increased at T5,6,and p-CaMK Ⅱ expression was down-regulated at T6 in group BR.There was no significant difference in MWT,TWL,and p-CaMK Ⅱ expression at each time point between group B and group BD.Conclusion Resveratrol can alleviate hyperalgesia in rats with bone cancer pain and inhibited activation of CaMK Ⅱ in spinal dorsal horn neurons may be involved in the mechanism.

Objective To evaluate the role of spinal IKK2/NF-κB pathway in the maintenance of bone cancer pain (BCP) in rats.Methods Twenty-eight unmated adult female Sprague-Dawley rats,weighing 160-200 g,were randomly divided into 4 groups (n =7 each) using a random number table:sham operation group (group S),BCP group (group BP),BCP + normal saline group (group BN),and BCP + BMS345541 group (group BB).BCP was induced by injecting Walker 256 mammary gland cancer cell suspension 5 μl (4 × 105 cells/ml) into the bone marrow of the right tibia of rats anesthetized with chloral hydrate in BP,BN and BB groups,while the equal volume of normal saline was injected in group S.On 10-12 days after operation,selective IKK2 inhibitor BMS345541 (50 μg/10 μl) was intrathecally injected once a day in group BB,and the equal volume of normal saline (10μl) was given once a day in group BN.The mechanical paw withdrawal threshold (MWT) was measured before intra-tibia injection (T0),on 7 days after intra-tibia injection (T1),at 1 h before drug administration and 1,2,4,12 and 24 h after drug administration on day 10 after operation,and at 4 h after drug administration on day 12 after operation (T2-8).The rats were sacrificed after MWT was measured at Ts and L4-6 segments of the spinal cord were removed for determination of phosphorylated NF-κB (p-NF-κB) expression (using Western blot analysis).Results Compared with group S,MWT was significantly decreased at T1-2,and the expression of p-NF-κB was up-regulated in BP,BN,and BB groups.Compared with group BP,MWT was significantly increased at T4-6,and the expression of p-NF-κB in the spinal cord was down-regulated in group BB.Conclusion Spinal IKK2/NF-κB signaling pathway is involved in the maintenance of bone cancer pain in rats.
RESUMEN
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To study the epidemiological characteristics and antibiotic resistance of Salmonella enterica serovar Pomona (S. Pomona).</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Antimicrobial susceptible testing (AST) and pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) methods were used to analyze on S. Pomona strains that were isolated from diarrhea cases through the diarrhea network monitoring program, environment and food samples in Shanghai as well as from reptiles in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>4 553 clinic Salmonella (S.) strains were isolated from the Shanghai network laboratories from 2005 to 2012. The top 10 serotypes would include 20 serotypes all belonged to A-F groups, while S. Pomona was next to S. Wandsworth, according to the non- A-F groups. Young children seemed to be susceptible to S. Pomona, and might cause bloody stools and super-infection. The top 10 serotypes from 1 805 foodborne Salmonella strains were significantly more extensive than those from the human S. Pomona strains, followed by those rare serotypes which were mostly isolated from turtle, sea-shellfish and reptiles. Antibiotic resistance of S. Pomona strains from other sources were significantly more severe than those from human samples, and belonged to A and B clones by means of PFGE. Clone A strains were non-epidemic strains which showed multi-drug resistance (MDR) to antimicrobials. Clone B was the main epidemic-causing strain that not resistant to drugs, which consisting B- I from young-age-groups and B-II were from the seniors. B-I strains were homologous to those from shellfish, tortoises and lizards, while B-II strains only showing homology to those from shellfish. One S. Pomona strain-MDR, isolated from human was homologous to 8 antimicrobials.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>S. Pomona was a quite common serotype among those rare serotypes, which showed higher pathogenicity to infants while genetic evolution might take place when comparing them with the strains isolated from the clinics in 2005. Surveillance programs should be intensified along with the early warnings systems on infections which were from seafood and reptiles.</p>

RESUMEN
Objective To evaluate the effects of intrathecal methotrexate on the activation of microglia in spinal cord in a rat model of tibial cancer pain (TCP).Methods Thirty female Sprague-Dawley rats,aged 5-7 weeks,weighing 150-180 g,were randomly divided into 3 groups (n =10 each):sham operation + artificial cerebrospinal fluid (group SA),TCP + artificial cerebrospinal fluid (group CA),and TCP + methotrexate (group CM).TCP was induced by injecting Walker-256 cancer cells into the medullary cavity of tibia.Artificial cerebrospinal fluid or methotrexate 100μg (15μl) was injected intrathecally over 10 min on 7th day after TCP.Mechanical pain threshold (MPT) was measured before TCP,at 1,3,5 and 7 days after TCP and 2,4,8 and 24 h after administration (T0-8).The rats were sacrificed after measurement of the pain threshold at T8 and the spinal cord was isolated for detection of the activation of microglia (by immunofluorescence) and content of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and IL-1β (by ELISA).Results Compared with group SA,MPT was significantly decreased,and the number of activated microglia cells in the spinal cord was increased,and the contents of TNF-α and IL-1β were increased in groups CA and CM (P < 0.05).Compared with group CA,MPT was significantly increased,and the number of activated microglia cells in the spinal cord was decreased,and the contents of TNF-α and IL-1β were decreased in group CM (P < 0.05).Conclusion The mechanism by which intrathecal methotrexate reduces TCP in rats is related to inhibition of the activation of microglia and reduction of the secretion of proinflammatory cytokines TNF-α and IL-1β in the spinal cord.
