电刺激弓状核对胃内压的影响及其外周途径分析

选用 Wistar,大鼠68只,乌拉坦麻醉下观察了电刺激弓状核对胃内压的影响。结果为:电刺激弓状核,胃内压显著降低;这一作用被迷走神经切断或腹腔神经丛摘除而减弱;酚妥拉明也能减弱电刺激弓状核的这一作用,但阿托品和心得安对此均无影响;同时去除交感神经和迷走神经时,刺激弓状核的这一作用虽被减弱,但仍然存在。上述结果表明:(1)刺激弓状核降低胃内压的外周神经途径同时涉及交感神经和迷走神经;前者由α-受体介导,后者可能由其中的非胆碱能、非肾上腺素能纤维发挥作用;(2)体液因素可能参与刺激弓状核的这一作用。     

兴奋大鼠延髓A1区引起降压、降心率效应的机制

在水合氯醛麻醉、箭毒化、人工呼吸的大鼠,观察到:(1) A_1区注入谷氨酸钠引起明显的血压下降和心率减慢。(2) 切断双侧颈迷走神经明显衰减A_1区的降压,降心率效应。(3) 延髓头端腹外侧区(RVL)预先注射酚妥拉明或心得安,均能明显衰减谷氨酸钠兴奋A_1区的降压效应,A_1区的降心率作用基本不受影响,将纳洛酮注入RVL后,A_1区的降压和降心率效应均无明显变化;注射荷包牡丹碱入RVL则使A_1区的降压、降心率效应反转。(4) RVL内注入酚妥拉明或心得安本身使基础血压降低,注射荷包牡丹碱入RVL则使基础血压升高(提示RVL内的α-,β-受体中介对RVE加压神经元的紧张性兴奋作用,GABA受体中介紧张性抑制作用);另一方面,RVL内注入心得安使基础心率减慢、注入纳洛酮或荷包牡丹碱使基础心率加快(说明β-受体中介紧张性心加速效应,阿片受体和GABA受体中介紧张性心抑制效应)。     

侧脑室注射5-HT对兔胃运动的影响及其机制研究

目的：探讨中枢5—HT对胃运动调节的神经机制。方法：采用免侧脑室给药,记录胃内压及胃收缩频率。结果：①侧脑室注入5—HT25μg,胃内压升高,胃收缩频率下降。②侧脑室注入阿托品抑制5—HT的效应,外周静脉注射阿托品仅阻断其升压作用。酚妥拉明和心得安对5—HT的作用均无明显影响。③侧脑室注射纳洛酮或苯海拉明显著抑制5—HT的降频作用,且苯海拉明能反转5—HT的升压作用。④切断双侧膈下迷走神经,侧脑室注射5—HT对胃运动无影响。结论：脑内5—HT引起胃收缩频率和胃内压变化的神经机制不同,升高胃内压的作用与中枢乙酰胆碱和组织胺有关,经迷走神经中胆碱能纤维传出;降低胃收缩频率的作用与中枢乙酰胆碱、组织胺及脑啡肽有关,经迷走神经中非胆碱能非肾上腺素能纤维传出。     

大鼠延髓A5区降压、降心率效应的机制及其与A1区之比较

在与上一篇论文(关于A_1区)相同的条件下,(1) 用谷氨酸钠兴奋大鼠A_5区,和A_1区类似,也产生明显的降压、降心率效应。(2) 切断双侧颈迷走神经也明显衰减兴奋A_5区的心血管作用。(3) 将不同受体阻断剂注入延髓头端腹外侧区对兴奋A_5区引起的降压,降心率反应之影响,与A_1区比较有所不同:酚妥拉明、心得安、纳洛酮和荷包牡丹碱均能明显衰减A_5区的降压、降心率效应(心得安和荷包牡丹碱甚至反转之),表明除α-,β-,GABA受体之外,阿片受体也中介A_5区的降压降心率作用。     

家兔脊髓蛛网膜下腔注射乙酰胆碱对血压和心率的影响

将乙酰胆碱(ACh)注入麻醉家兔脊髓蛛网膜下腔,观察其对心血管活动的影响。结果表明:(1)脊髓蛛网膜下腔注射50～100μg ACh可使血压下降,心率减慢;(2)预先由脊髓蛛网膜下腔注射阿托品,可阻断ACh引起的降压和降心率作用;(3)脊髓蛛网膜下腔注射六甲双铵、酚妥拉明或心得安均不能阻断上述ACh的心血管反应;(4)切断两侧颈部迷走神经,ACh不再使心率减慢,但其降低血压的作用不受到任何影响。 脊髓中ACh水平升高可通过激活胆碱能M-受体引起血压下降和心率减慢。ACh的这种降压作用既没有中枢肾上腺素能受体活动参与,也不是通过迷走神经实现的,可能是由于脊髓交感血管中枢紧张性降低所造成的。     

交感神经系统对切除迷走神经大鼠的胃酸分泌作用的观察

与迷走神经完整大鼠比较,迷走神经切除(VT)大鼠胃酸分泌显著减少(从2.67到1.14μEq/10min),约两个月恢复到术前水平。在迷走神经完整大鼠,异丙肾上腺素(IS,10μg/min)显著地刺激酸分泌,去甲肾上腺素(NA,5μg/min)则抑制酸分泌。在 VT 三月后的大鼠,IS 抑制酸分泌,NA 则显著地刺激酸分泌。这种变化的生理意义可能是交感神经系统代偿丧失了的迷走泌酸机能。IS 和 NA 增加大鼠心率,心得安(25μg/min)显著地减少它,而酚妥拉明(25μg/min)没有明显的作用;IS、NA、心得安或酚妥拉明对迷走神经完整、VT即刻和三月后的大鼠心率的影响均无差异,表明 VT 后交感神经系统调节胃酸分泌的作用的变化并非循环改变的结果。     

海马内注射肾上腺素能受体激动剂对细胞免疫功能的影响

目的 研究肾上腺素能受体激动剂对机体细胞免疫功能的作用及下丘脑-垂体-肾上腺轴(HPA轴)在此作用中的地位.方法以刀豆蛋白A(ConA)刺激脾淋巴细胞的增殖活性为细胞免疫功能指标,检测在正常及去肾上腺大鼠海马内注射去甲肾上腺素(noradrenaline,A)对机体细胞免疫功能的影响.结果①在正常大鼠,A(4 μl,.0×10-3mol/L)、β1受体激动剂杜丁胺 (dobutamine,ob,μl,.0×10-3mol/L) 和β2受体激动剂异丙喘宁(metaproterenol,et, μl,.0×10-3mol/L)均可抑制Con A刺激的脾淋巴细胞增殖反应、降低NK细胞的活性,其中NA的作用最强,et 次之,ob的作用最弱.α及β受体阻断剂酚妥拉明(Phen, μl,.6×10-2mol/L) 和心得安(Prop,μl,.6×10-2mol/L)均可部分阻断NA的免疫抑制作用,且Prop的作用较强.②在去肾上腺组,A的免疫抑制作用不明显.结论海马内NA对机体的细胞免疫功能具有明显的抑制作用,此作用由α及β受体共同介导,其中β受体的作用大于α受体,且β2受体的作用大于β1受体.此外,保持肾上腺结构和功能完整在NA调节机体细胞免疫功能作用中具有重要意义.     

家兔侧脑室注射组胺对肺动脉血压的影响

本工作将组胺(HA)注入麻醉家兔侧脑室,观察其对肺动脉血压的影响。结果观察到(1)侧脑室注射HA(50μg)后,肺动脉压和心输出量出现升高、降低和先降后升三种变化,但以升高反应较为多见。发生上述反应时,颈动脉压升高,心率减慢。(2)切断两侧颈部迷走神经或用心脏人工起搏固定心率后,肺动脉压和心输出量均不再下降而出现恒定的升高反应。静脉注射酚妥拉明可部分阻断HA引起的肺动脉和颈动脉升压反应,但不能阻断心输出量的升高。静脉注射心得安能完全阻断HA引起的心输出量升高,但对肺动脉和颈动脉的升压反应无影响。静脉注射六甲双铵或联合应用酚妥拉明和心得安可完全消除HA引起的肺动脉压、颈动脉压和心输出量的升高反应。(3)HA的心血管效应可被H_1受体阻断剂扑尔敏阻断,但不能被H_2受体阻断剂甲氰咪胍阻断。 实验结果表明:家兔侧脑室注射HA后,在中枢H_1受体的介导下,可通过交感神经使心输出量增加,肺血管和外周血管收缩,因而肺动脉压和颈动脉压上升;也可通过迷走神经使心率减慢。而HA引起的肺动脉压下降则是继发性的,是由于心率减慢,心输出量减少所致。     

第四脑室注射吗啡对应激性高血粘度与血压升高的影响

实验用Wistar大鼠99只,雄性250g左右,随机分三组:对照组、悬吊加束缚组、悬吊一束缚加电针组。结果:(1)清醒大鼠束缚加悬吊可引起应激性高血粘度和血压升高,切断双侧颈迷走神经后上述现象仍存在。静脉注射心得安(0.3mg/ml)或酚妥拉明(0.3 mg/ml)对正常大鼠血压、血粘度影响不大,但对应激性血压升高均有抑制作用。静脉注射心得安还可降低应激性高血粘度。(2)电针大鼠右后肢对应激性高血粘度和血压升高有抑制作用。(3)第四脑室内注射吗啡(10μg/10 μl)15或30min后可降低应激性高血粘度和血压升高,注入等量生理盐水无变化。若在第四脑室注射纳洛酮 (10μg/10μl)则可部分阻断电针右后肢对悬吊-束缚诱发的高血粘度和血压升高的抑制作用。结果提示:悬吊-束缚大鼠可能兴奋交感神经传出系统经激活β受体诱发应激性高血粘度阻断α或β受体可降低应激性血压升高。脑内阿片肽可抑制应激性高血粘度和血压升高,脑内河片肽受体的激活可参与电针后肢对应激性高血粘度和血压升高的抑制作用。     

家兔第四脑室注射乙酰胆碱对肺动脉血压的影响

本工作将乙酰胆碱(ACh)注入麻醉家兔第四脑室,观察其对肺动脉血压的影响。结果发现(1)脑室注射50—100μg ACh后,肺动脉压和颈动脉压均下降。与此同时心率也出现一过性减慢。(2)切断两侧颈部迷走神经,ACh不再使心率减慢,但其降低肺动脉压和颈动脉压的作用不受到任何影响。(3)预先由第四脑室注射阿托品,可阻断AGh引起的肺动脉降压反应和颈动脉降压反应。(4)第四脑室注射六甲双铵或酚妥拉明,均不能阻断这二个降压反应。(5)第四脑室注射心得安不能阻断ACh引起的肺动脉降压反应,但能阻断ACh降低颈动脉压的作用。 实验结果表明:脑中ACh水平升高可通过激活胆碱能M-受体引起肺动脉压和颈动脉压下降;在ACh引起的颈动脉降压反应的中枢环节中有肾上腺素能β-受体活动参与;而且ACh降低肺动脉压和颈动脉压的作用不是通过迷走神经实现的,可能是由于延髓交感缩血管中枢紧张性降低所造成的。     

Inhibitory effects of excess sympathetic activity on parasympathetic vasodilation in the rat masseter muscle

The present study was designed to examine the effect of sympathetic tonic activity on parasympathetic vasodilation evoked by the trigeminal-mediated reflex in the masseter muscle in urethane-anesthetized rats. Sectioning of the superior cervical sympathetic trunk (CST) ipsilaterally increased the basal level of blood flow in the masseter muscle (MBF). Electrical stimulation of the peripheral cut end of the CST for 2 min using 2-ms pulses ipsilaterally decreased in a dependent manner the intensity (0.5-10 V) and frequency (0.1-5 Hz) of the MBF. The CST stimulation for 2 min at <0.5 Hz with 5 V using 2-ms pulses seems to be comparable with the spontaneous activity in the CST fibers innervating the masseter vasculature, because this stimulation restored the basal level of the MBF to the presectioned values. Parasympathetic vasodilation evoked by electrical stimulation of the central cut end of the lingual nerve in the masseter muscle was markedly reduced by CST stimulation for 2 min with 5 V using 2-ms pulses in a frequency-dependent manner (0.5-5 Hz). Intravenous administration of phentolamine significantly reduced the vasoconstriction induced by CST stimulation in a dose-dependent manner (0.1-1 mg/kg), but pretreatment with either phentolamine or propranolol failed to affect the sympathetic inhibition of the parasympathetic vasodilation. Our results suggest that 1) excess sympathetic activity inhibits parasympathetic vasodilation in the masseter muscle, and 2) alpha- and beta-adrenoceptors do not contribute to sympathetic inhibition of parasympathetic vasodilation, and thus some other types of receptors must be involved in this response.     

Propranolol antagonizes hypotension induced by alpha-blockers but not by sodium nitroprusside or methacholine

A pressor response has been observed with propranolol, a nonselective beta-adrenoceptor antagonist, in animals given a nonselective alpha-adrenoceptor antagonist. This study investigates whether a pressor response to propranolol occurs in conscious unrestrained rats following a hypotensive response induced by phentolamine (nonselective alpha-antagonist), prazosin (selective alpha 1-antagonist) and (or) rauwolscine (selective alpha 2-antagonist), sodium nitroprusside (smooth muscle relaxant), or methacholine (muscarinic agonist). The rats were subjected to a continuous infusion of a hypotensive agent or normal saline followed by i.v. injection of propranolol. The infusion of phentolamine significantly decreased mean arterial pressure (MAP). Subsequent injection of propranolol restored MAP to the control level. Prazosin and rauwolscine each caused a small but not significant decrease in MAP which was reversed by propranolol. Concurrent infusions of prazosin and rauwolscine caused a significant decrease in MAP. Subsequent injection of propranolol caused a large pressor response which increased MAP to 20% above control MAP prior to the administration of drugs. Nitroprusside or methacholine each caused a significant decrease in MAP, but the hypotension was not antagonized by propranolol. The concurrent infusions of a low dose of nitroprusside and prazosin caused a significant decrease in MAP which was reversed by propranolol. The infusion of saline did not alter MAP, and propranolol did not cause a pressor response. It is concluded that propranolol antagonizes the hypotensive effect of an alpha-blocker but not that of sodium nitroprusside or methacholine. Our results suggest the presence of a specific interaction between alpha- and beta-antagonists.     

Inhibitory effects of pergolide on peripheral adrenergic neurotransmission in spontaneously hypertensive rats

Intraperitoneal injection of pergolide (12.5–500 μg/kg) produced dose-related and sustained arterial hypotension in anesthetized spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) which was accompanied by bradycardia at higher tested doses. During the time frame of hypotension produced by pergolide (50 μg/kg, i.p.), diastolic blood pressure and cardiac rate responses to electrical stimulation of the sympathetic outflow in pithed SHR were attenuated, whereas comparable responses induced by exogenous norepinephrine were unaffected. Pretreatment of SHR with sulpiride abolished pergolide-induced hypotension and prevented its inhibitory effect on neurogenic vasoconstrictor responses. Sulpiride alone had no effect on responses to electrical stimulation or injected norepinephrine. Yohimbine or vagotomy plus atropine did not attenuate the hypotensive effect of pergolide while hexamethonium or pithing reversed it; increments in pressure produced by pergolide after each of the latter interventions were probably mediated by postsynaptic alpha receptors, since vasoconstrictor responses to pergolide (10?100 μg/kg, i.v.) in pithed preparations were attenuated by phentolamine.The data suggest that pergolide lowers arterial blood pressure and cardiac rate by inhibiting peripheral sympathetic nerve function through a dopaminergic mechanism. The probable site of action of pergolide is at presynaptic (neuronal) dopamine receptors which are known to mediate inhibition of neurogenic release of norepinephrine.     

Effect of intestinal osmolality on insulin secretion to subsequent intravenous glucose or arginine in the rat

To elucidate the effect of intestinal osmolality on insulin secretion, we investigated insulin response to a subsequent intravenous infusion of glucose or arginine after intragastric or intraduodenal mannitol or NaCl instillation in the rat. After anesthesia with intraperitoneal pentobarbital sodium, mannitol solution (10% or 20%) or 2.7% NaCl was instillated into the stomach or duodenum for 5 min at a flow rate of 0.5 ml/min, and 20% glucose (0.5 g/kg) or 10% L-arginine (0.5 g/kg) was infused bolus into the femoral vein 45 min after intestinal instillation. Insulin response to intravenous glucose was significantly higher in the rat with intragastric or intraduodenal mannitol or NaCl infusion than in control rats with intragastric or intraduodenal instillation of distilled water. Insulin response to intravenous arginine was almost the same in all groups. Subcutaneous preadministration of propranolol (0.4 mg/kg), atropine (1.2 mg/kg), or phentolamine (0.8 mg/kg) did not alter the present phenomenon. These results suggest that intestinal osmolality may enhance insulin release to intravenous glucose, but not to arginine in the rat.     

The alpha adrenoceptors on endothelial cells

Endothelial cells release a powerful factor (endothelium-derived relaxing factor [EDRF]) that relaxes smooth muscle cells in response to some vasodilating agents such as acetylcholine. Contraction curves to norepinephrine (NE) in greyhound, mongrel dog, and pig coronary artery rings were studied in vitro in the presence of propranolol. Removal of endothelium increased the sensitivity and maximum contraction in response to NE. In other experiments pig coronary rings were precontracted with a thromboxane mimetic U 46619 in the presence of propranolol. NE relaxed these arteries only if endothelium was present. Methoxamine was without effect but the relaxation response to NE was antagonized by phentolamine, idazoxan, and yohimbine, which suggests that there are alpha 2 adrenoceptors on endothelial cells that mediate the release of EDRF. Greyhound and mongrel dog large coronary arteries relaxed to NE only if prazosin was present, which suggests that alpha 1-adrenoceptor stimulation on the vascular smooth muscle can override the relaxation response to EDRF. Comparison of NE responses in carotid, mesenteric, renal, and femoral large arteries of the pig, greyhound, and mongrel dog indicate the nonuniformity of distribution of alpha 2 adrenoceptors on endothelium and alpha 1 and alpha 2 adrenoceptors on vascular smooth muscle. The integrity of the endothelium must now be considered in interpreting the vascular responses to alpha-adrenoceptor agonists.     

Cyclooxygenase inhibition in the dorsal vagal complex of the rat evokes increases in gastric motor function

To characterize the involvement of brainstem cyclooxygenase (COX) in the vagal control of gastric motor function, tolmetin, a reversible COX inhibitor, was applied to the surface of the dorsal medulla oblongata or microinjected into the dorsal vagal complex (DVC) in β-chloralose anesthetized rats, while intragastric pressure and contractile activity of the pyloric circular and greater curvature longitudinal muscle were monitored. Tolmetin, applied to the surface of the medulla oblongata, increased intragastric pressure and stimulated contractile activity of gastric smooth muscle. Comparable gastric motor effects were observed after microinjection of tolmetin into the DVC. All the effects of tolmetin were abolished by bilateral vagotomy at the midcervical level. These results demonstrate for the first time that COX inhibition evokes vagally-mediated gastric motor effects in the DVC of the rat and support a role for COX products in gastrointestinal regulation.     

Nifedipine-induced inhibition of parasympathetic-mediated vasodilation in the orofacial areas of the cat

In anesthetized cats, we 1) compared the effects of antihypertensive agents (nifedipine, clonidine, phentolamine, propranolol, and nitroprusside) on the parasympathetic vasodilations elicited by lingual nerve (LN) stimulation in the lower lip and tongue and 2) investigated the mechanisms underlying the inhibitory effect of nifedipine on parasympathetic lower lip vasodilation. At the doses used, each antihypertensive agent reduced systemic arterial blood pressure by approximately 20 mmHg; however, the parasympathetic vasodilation elicited by LN stimulation was significantly reduced only by nifedipine. This inhibitory effect of nifedipine was not seen when LN was stimulated during ongoing repetitive stimulation of the superior cervical sympathetic trunk at 1-Hz frequency. This suggests that the ability of lip and tongue blood vessels to relax to parasympathetic stimulation is not directly impaired by this calcium channel blocker and that the inhibitory effects of nifedipine seen here probably resulted from an action on postsynaptic sites in vascular smooth muscle that caused a reduction in preexisting sympathetic vasoconstrictor tone (by inhibiting calcium influx into the vascular smooth muscle cell).     

Delayed development of hypertension and increased aortic relaxation in spontaneously hypertensive rats after neonatal sympathectomy

The effect of neonatal sympathectomy on vasodilator responses to acetylcholine (ACh) and cAMP has been studied in aortic rings of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and normotensive animals. The relaxation of intact SHR aorta in response to ACh and cAMP was 20-35% lower than that of normotensive rats. Sympathectomy in normotensive rats did not affect the level of blood pressure and aorta reactivity to Ach. In SHR, sympathectomy caused a decrease in blood pressure, while relaxation in response to ACh and cAMP increased, as compared to intact SHR, but remained lower than in normotensive rats. The data obtained suggest that the decrease in arterial pressure of sympathectomized SHR is a result not only of the reduction in sympathetic effects but also of the increase in smooth muscle relaxation.     

刺激大鼠蓝斑核区对胃电和胃运动的影响

用乌拉坦麻醉的大鼠,同步描记血压、胃电和胃运动,观察了刺激蓝斑核区对胃电和胃运动的影响,分析了其作用途径。实验结果表明,刺激蓝斑核区后血压平均升高60.5mmHg(P<0.001);胃电慢波的振幅由对照的0.52mV 减弱到0.18mV(P<0.001)。快波的振幅和频率也减少。胃内压平均下降到对照值的29.9％(P<0.001)。在横断颈髓的动物刺激蓝斑核区后血压的升高幅度明显减弱,平均升高9mmHg,升压效应的潜伏期明显延长;胃电慢波的振幅由对照的0.53mV 减弱到 0.24mV(P<0.001)。胃内压平均下降到对照值的45.1％。对胃电和胃运动的这种抑制效应可被切断迷走神经所完全消除。在事先切断迷走神经但脊髓仍保留完整的动物,刺激蓝斑核区使胃内压平均下降36.6％(P<0.01)。根据以上结果认为,蓝斑核区可能参与对胃电和胃运动的中枢性调节。此调节机制可能经由脊髓和迷走两条通路实现。
