延髓头端腹外侧区血管升压素能机制在应激性高血粘度中的作用

观察延髓头端腹外侧区（ｒＶＬＭ）微量注射血管升压素（ＡＶＰ）能否影响正常大鼠的血压和血粘度,并分析ｒＶＬＭ内ＡＶＰ能机制在清醒大鼠经悬吊加束缚引起应激性升压反应和高血粘度中的影响。结果如下：⑴正常大鼠双侧ｒＶＬＭ微量注射ＡＶＰ（每侧０．５μｇ／０．５μｌ）,可引起血压和血粘度升高;此作用可被事先在同一位置微量注射ＡＶＰ－Ｖ１受体拮抗剂ｄ（ＣＨ２）５「Ｔｙｒ（Ｍｅ）＾２」ＡＶＰ（每侧０．１μｇ／０．     

头端延髓腹外侧区注射5-羟色胺对应激性高血粘度及血压升高的影响

实验用Wistar大鼠62只,采用束缚加悬吊的方法引起应激性高血粘度和血压升高。结果观察到,清醒大鼠束缚加悬吊二天可引起应激性高血粘度和血压升高。第四脑室内注射5-羟色胺(5-HT25μg/10μl)或在双侧延髓腹外侧区头端(rVLM)微量注射5-HT(4μg/0.5μl/每侧)均可抑制应激性高血粘度和血压升高,若预先在双侧rVLM微量注射5-HT受体阻断剂肉桂硫胺(4μg/0.5μl/每侧)后再在第四脑室或延髓腹外侧区内注入上述同剂量的5-MT,则5-HT降低应激性高血粘度和血压升高的作用消失。看来上述5-HT的作用是通过rVLM内5-HT受体的激活来实现的。

雄性Ｓｐｒａｇｕｅ－Ｄａｗｌｅｙ大鼠,用乌拉坦（７００ｍｇ／ｋｇ）和氯醛糖（３０ｍｇ／ｋｇ）腹腔麻醉。在双侧头端延髓腹外侧区（ｒＶＬＭ区）每侧微量注射血管加压素（ＡＶＰ）（１０ｐｍｏｌ／０．１μｌ）可引起平均动脉压（ＭＢＰ）升高,心率（ＨＲ）变化不明显,每侧微量注射ＡＶＰ的Ｖ１受体拮抗剂ｄ（ＣＨ２）５［Ｔｙｒ（Ｍｅ）＾２］ＡＶＰ（０．１ｎｍｏｌ／０．１μｌ）后ＭＢＰ和ＨＲ无明显变化。若预先在ｒＶＬ     

安定降低家兔血压和减少刺激下丘脑诱发室性期前收缩的机制分析

家兔62只,用乌拉坦(700mg/kg)和氯醛醣(35mg/kg)静脉麻醉,三碘季铵酚制动,在人工呼吸下进行实验。用电刺激下丘脑近中线区的方法诱发室性期前收缩(HVE)。静脉注射安定(0.5mg/kg)可降低基础血压(BP),减弱刺激下丘脑引起升压反应(指收缩压峰值SBP_(max))和减少HVE。在双侧延髓腹外侧头端区(rVLM)微量注射氟安定(200μg溶于0.5μl中),γ-氨基丁酸(GABA)(6μg溶于0.5μl中)均能降低BP、SBP_(max)和减少HVE,若微量注射印防己毒素(7.5μg溶于0.5μl中)则可使BP上升并增多HVE。而于双侧延髓腹外侧尾端区(cVLM)微量注射同样剂量氟安定、GABA则无上述反应。安定降低BP、SBP_(max)和减少HVE的作用可被双侧rVLM区微量注射GABA受体拮抗剂荷包牡丹碱(3μg溶于0.5μl中)或印防己毒素所消除,但在双侧rVLM区微量注射甘氨酸受体拮抗剂士的宁(1μg溶于0.5μl中)、阿片受体拮抗剂纳洛酮(0.5μg溶于0.5μl中)、胆碱能阻断药阿托品(0.25μg溶于0.5μl中)、东莨菪碱(1.5μg溶于0.5μl中)后仍然存在。 上述结果提示,在双侧rVLM应用GABA受体拮抗剂可消除安定降低BP、SBP_(max)和减少HVE的作用,安定降低BP、SBP_(max)和减少HVE的作用可能通过GABA这一中间环节,而胆碱能受体、阿片受体、甘氨酸受体可能不起重要作用。     

头端延髓腹外侧区在侧脑室注射新斯的明所致升压中的作用

实验在47只乌拉坦(700m/kg)、氯醛糖(35mg/kg)麻醉,肌肉麻痹,人工呼吸的家兔上进行。结果观察到,侧脑室注射(icv)新斯的明引起血压升高,心率(HR)先减慢后有加快趋势,股动脉血流量(FBF)与股动脉血管通道性(COND)减小,左心室内压(LVP)增大,肾交感神经放电(RND)增加,延髓腹外侧头端(rVLM)微量注射阿托品则引起血压下降,HR减慢,FBF与COND增加,LVP与RND减小,若在icv新斯的明之前,预先向rVLM注入阿托品,可阻断新斯的明的升压效应,上述结果提示,rVLM是icv新斯的明升压效应的重要部位,rVLM区M受体功能完整是这种升压作用的关键因素。     

延髓头端腹外侧区血管紧张素Ⅱ对脊髓投射神经元氨基酸递质释放的调节

用脊髓(T8)中间外侧柱(IML)微透析方法结合高效液相色谱(HPLC)技术,研究延髓头端腹外侧区(RVLM)微量注射血管紧张素Ⅱ(ANGⅡ,100pmol,n=11)后脊髓IML氨基酸递质释放的变化.在RVLM区微量注射ANGⅡ(100pmol,n=11),能显著增加(P<0.01)脊髓(T8)内天门冬氨酸(ASP,从4.75±1.01升至8.90±2.28pmol/20μl)和谷氨酸(GLU,从18.99±8.64升至73.88±29.26pmol/20μl)的释放.在同一RVLM部位注射losartan(10nmol,n=8)可以显著抑制注射ANGⅡ引起的GLU释放升高反应(P<0.05).免疫荧光双标记结合共聚焦显微镜观察到RVLM内62%～91%的谷氨酸能神经元呈AT1受体免疫阳性.此结果提示ANGⅡ诱发的脊髓内谷氨酸释放可能来源于RVLM内AT1受体免疫阳性的谷氨酸能脊髓投射神经元.     

中枢精氨酸加压素在大鼠促肾上腺皮质激素释放激素释放激素引起发热机制中的作用

实验对大鼠进行第三脑室和脑腹中隔区插管,用数字体温计测量大鼠的结肠温度,用放射免疫分析法测定脑中隔区精氨酸加压素（arginine vasopressin,AVP）含量,观察脑中隔区AVP在大鼠促肾上腺皮质激素释放激素（corticotrophin releasing hormone,CRH）性发热机制中的作用。结果发现：脑室注射CRH（5.0μg）引起大鼠结肠温度明显升高,同时明显增高脑中隔区AVP的含量。脑腹中隔区注射AVP V1受体拮抗剂本身并不导致大鼠结肠温度明显改变,但能显著增强脑室注射CRH引起的发热反应。而且,腹中隔区注射AVP显著抑制大鼠CRH性发热。结果提示：发热时CRH是引起脑腹中隔区AVP释放的因素之一,脑腹中隔区内源性AVP抑制中枢注射CRH引起的体温升高。     

延髓头端腹外侧区注入肾上腺素对血液流变学的影响

中脑腹侧被盖区微量注射溴隐亭对伏隔核DOPAC含量的影响

本工作在戊巴比妥钠麻醉的SD雄性大鼠上进行。结果表明:左侧腹侧被盖区(VTA)微量注射多巴胺(DA)受体激动剂溴隐亭(2.5μg/0.5μl,n=5)后,用微分脉冲伏安法(DPV)测定同侧伏隔核中多巴胺代谢产物——3、4双羟苯乙酸(DOPAC),峰值明显增高,注后50 min达到对照值的128％(P<0.01),注后80 min达到最高峰,为对照值的143％(P<0.01),作用的持续时间约2 h,在注后180 min恢复到对照值的111％(P>0.05)。左侧VTA预先微量注射SCH23390——一种高选择性的D_1受体阻断剂(2nmol/0.5μl,n=4).40min后再微量注射溴隐亭(2.5μg/0.5μl),同侧伏隔核中DOPAC氧化峰不再增高。结果提示:VTA微量注射溴隐亭可致中脑边缘多巴胺神经元活动增加,而这种增加作用可能是通过D_1受体中介的。     

下丘脑穹窿周围区不同部位兴奋对心肌Po_2及ECG－ST的影响

电刺激下丘脑穹窿周围区（ＰＦＡ）的下丘脑背内侧核（ＤＭＨ）,下丘脑腹内侧核（ＶＭＨ）与下丘脑外侧区（ＬＨＡ）均可引起心肌Ｐ０＿２下降与血压升高,而以ＤＭＨ所致的心肌Ｐ０,下降最明显（Ｐ＜０．０１）。心得安可取消电刺激ＬＨＡ所致的心肌ＰＯ＿２下降,部分取消电刺激ＶＭＨ引起的心肌ＰＯ＿２下降,而不改变电刺激ＤＭＨ所致的心肌ＰＯ＿２下降（Ｐ＞０．０５）。ＤＭＨ、ＶＭＨ微量注射谷氨酸钠（０．１ｍｏｌ／Ｌ０．５μｌ）均可诱发升压反应和ＥＣＧ－ＳＴ压低,而ＬＨＡ微量注射谷氨酸却导致降压反应,对ＥＣＧ－ＳＴ无明显影响。上述结果提示ＤＭＨ为ＰＦＡ各区诱发心肌缺血缺氧的主要核团。兴奋ＤＭＨ、ＶＭＨ所致的心血管效应主要由胞体兴奋诱发,而电刺激ＬＨＡ所致的升压反应主要为兴奋过路纤维引起,该区胞体兴奋主要导致降压反应。

Seed size variation in the palm Euterpe edulis and the effects of seed predators on germination and seedling survival

Intraspecific variation in seed size is common in wild plant populations and has important consequences for the reproductive success of individual plants. Multiple, often conflicting evolutionary forces mediated by biotic as well as abiotic agents may maintain such a variation. In this paper we assessed seed size variation in a population of the threatened, commercially important palm Euterpe edulis in southeast Brazil. We investigated (i) how this variation affects the probability of attack by vertebrate and invertebrate post-dispersal seed predators, and (ii) if seed size influences the outcome of seeds damaged by beetles in terms of seed germination and early survival of seedlings. Euterpe edulis seeds varied in diameter from 8.3 to 14.1 mm. Neither insects nor rodents selected the seeds they preyed upon based on seed size. Seed germination and total, shoot and root biomasses of one-year seedlings were significantly and positively affected by seed size. Root biomass and seedling survival were negatively affected by seed damage caused by a scolytid beetle (Coccotrypes palmarum) whose adults bore into seeds to consume part of the endosperm, but do not oviposit on them. Seed size had a marginally significant effect on seedling survival. Therefore, if any advantage is accrued by E. edulis individuals producing large seeds, this is because of greater seed germination success and seedling vigor. If this is so, even a relatively narrow range of variation in seed size as observed in the E. edulis population studied may translate into differential success of individual plants.     

Morph-specific differences in reproductive success in the distylous Primula veris in a context of habitat fragmentation

Heterostylous self-incompatible plant species are particularly sensitive to habitat fragmentation and to disruption of pollination processes because of the need of intermorph cross-pollination for producing seeds. Heterostyly is characterized by sexual polymorphism through the occurrence of two (distyly) or three (tristyly) morph types that differ in floral traits (style length and anther position). We examined whether the long-styled (pin) and short-styled (thrum) morph types show differences in reproductive components and responses to habitat fragmentation in the distylous, self-incompatible perennial herb Primula veris. We documented reproductive components for pin and thrum individuals and their relationships with population size, plant density and morph ratio (pin frequency), in nine populations from Flanders (northern Belgium) located in fragmented habitats of the intensively used agricultural landscape. Seed abortion increased in small populations as a result of inbreeding depression. Fruit set increased with plant density. Seed set was positively related to pin proportion. Seed set was higher for pin than thrum in small populations, but lower in large populations. Two hypotheses can be considered to explain these morph-specific differences: a pollen transfer asymmetry, and a reproductive advantage for the partially self-compatible pin morph. Morph types appear to respond differently to habitat fragmentation constraints. A floral morph type showing partial self-compatibility may be favored in populations under pollination failure, because it can increase reproductive success and mating opportunities through intramorph crosses.     

Influence of microclimate and species interactions on the composition of plant and invertebrate communities in alpine northern Norway

We assessed the effects of both biotic processes and abiotic factors on the community composition of vascular plant species and invertebrates at a site in northern Norway. Plant species were assigned to functional (woody versus herbaceous) and biogeographic (boreal versus alpine) groups. Invertebrate species were classified as either herbivore or predator. When species interactions and effects of the abiotic environment were partitioned, boreal species appeared to influence the distribution of alpine species and woody species the distribution of herbaceous species. Analysis of partial correlations indicated that facilitation was the dominant mode of interaction between the two pairs of plant groups. Among abiotic factors, the thermal environment probably influenced all components of the plant and invertebrate communities, except for predatory invertebrates, and wind appeared important in determining the composition of woody and alpine components of the plant community but not the herbaceous component. The composition of the boreal component of the plant community apparently influenced the composition of all invertebrate communities, except for predatory invertebrates. The composition of the woody component of the plant community influenced the composition of both herbivore and predator communities. The alpine plant-community composition influenced predatory invertebrate community composition. Woody plant community composition influenced the composition of both herbivore and predator communities. Our analytic approach, based on two kinds of structural equation models (d-separation and path analysis), provides a useful method for identifying the biotic as well as abiotic factors that influence community structure.     

Shadoo/PrP (Sprn0/0/Prnp0/0) double knockout mice

Shadoo (Sho) is a brain glycoprotein with similarities to the unstructured region of PrP^C. Frameshift alleles of the Sho gene, Sprn, are reported in variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD) patients while Sprn mRNA knockdown in PrP-null (Prnp^0/0) embryos produces lethality, advancing Sho as the hypothetical PrP-like “pi” protein. Also, Sho levels are reduced as misfolded PrP accumulates during prion infections. To penetrate these issues we created Sprn null alleles (Daude et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci USA 2012; 109(23): 9035–40). Results from the challenge of Sprn null and TgSprn transgenic mice with rodent-adapted prions coalesce to define downregulation of Sho as a “tracer” for the formation of misfolded PrP. However, classical BSE and rodent-adapted BSE isolates may behave differently, as they do for other facets of the pathogenic process, and this intriguing variation warrants closer scrutiny. With regards to physiological function, double knockout mice (Sprn^0/0/Prnp^0/0) mice survived to over 600 d of age. This suggests that Sho is not pi, or, given the accumulating data for many activities for PrP^C, that the pi hypothesis invoking a discrete signaling pathway to maintain neuronal viability is no longer tenable.     

新生大鼠脊髓交感节前神经元的单胺能受体
