Nesfatin-1对营养性肥胖大鼠摄食量体重和胃排空率的影响（英文）

目的:通过颈静脉注射外源性nesfatin-1,观察营养性肥胖大鼠摄食、体重、胃排空率的变化情况。方法:营养性肥胖大鼠造模成功后,各组大鼠行颈静脉插管手术,术后所有大鼠分为四组,正常对照组及肥胖对照组大鼠注射0.9%生理盐水,正常给药及肥胖给药组大鼠注射外源性nesfatin-1(100μg·kg-1),连续颈静脉给药7 d,期间记录各组大鼠摄食量以及体重,给药结束后采用灌胃酚红法测定大鼠胃排空率。结果:用高脂饲料连续饲养大鼠7天,正常对照组和正常nesfatin-1组大鼠的Lee’s指数分别为314.22和314.44,肥胖对照组和肥胖nesfatin-1组大鼠的Lee’s指数分别为318.22和319.03,肥胖差异显著(T-test,P0.01),造模成功。连续给药7 d后,给药组摄食量和体重与对照组相比明显降低,但肥胖给药组摄食量及体重下降较正常给药组更加明显。胃排空率与胃排出酚红量是成负相关的,实验中正常对照组和正常给药组的胃排空率分别是64.71±4.51和46.47±3.20,而肥胖对照组和肥胖给药组大鼠的胃排空率分别是75.67±2.47和50.88±3.07,因此高剂量给予nesfatin-1能显著降低大鼠的胃排空率。结论:综上所述,长期持续外周静脉给予外源性的nesfatin-1可以明显抑制正常及肥胖大鼠的摄食,动物体重减轻。     

Obestatin对血浆ghrelin和nesfatin-1水平及胃排空的影响

目的:探讨侧脑室注射obestatin对大鼠血浆酰基化ghrelin、去酰基化ghrelin、nesfatin-1水平的影响以及对胃排空的调控。方法:侧脑室注射obestatin,采用酶免疫测定(EIA)法检测血浆酰基化ghrelin、去酰基化ghrelin、nesfatin-1水平以及胃排空率的变化。结果:侧脑室分别注射0.1、0.3或1.0 nmol obestatin,大鼠血浆酰基化ghrelin、去酰基化ghrelin以及nesfatin-1水平无显著改变(P0.05),且酰基化ghrelin与去酰基化ghrelin比率无显著改变(P0.05);侧脑室注射obestatin,大鼠摄食量无显著改变,但胃排空率明显增加(P0.05);胃排空率明显延迟(P0.05)。与侧脑室注射1.0 nmol Obestatin组相比,注射1.0 nmol Obestatin+CRF,大鼠摄食量无显著改变,胃排空率明显延迟(P0.05)。各组摄食量及进入十二指肠内食物量无明显差异(P0.05)。结论:中枢obestatin促进大鼠的胃排空,可能与h/r CRF通路有关。

中枢nesfatin-1对大鼠夜间摄食和胃排空的影响

目的:观察中枢nesfatin-1对大鼠夜间摄食和胃排空的影响。方法:大鼠经腹腔注射硫酸仲丁巴比妥(100~150 mg/kg)麻醉,侧脑室、第四脑室或小脑延髓池注射nesfatin-1或CRF受体拮抗剂astressin-B或astressin2-B,观察对摄食、胃排空的影响。结果:侧脑室注射nesfatin-1后大鼠第3-6 h夜间进食量(t=3.05~3.58,P0.01)和3 h和6 h的累积进食量(t=5.90~12.1,P0.01)明显减少,nesfatin-1的该抑制效应可被预先侧脑室注射astressin-B或astressin2-B阻断(t=1.06~2.22,P0.05)。第四脑室或小脑延髓池注射nesfatin-1后大鼠夜间摄食量在第1h就明显减少(t=2.59~6.26,P0.05~0.01),持续减少至5-6h(t=1.69~7.42,P0.05~0.01)。侧脑室注射不同剂量nesfatin-1(0.05或0.5μg)20 min后GE率明显降低,且随注射剂量增大,GE率越低(t=3.25~4.67,P0.01)。若预先给予大鼠CRF受体拮抗剂astressin2-B(30μg)再注射nesfatin-1(0.5μg),nesfatin-1抑制大鼠胃排空效应明显减弱(t=2.45~2.85,P0.05)。禁食24 h后再喂食2 h,大鼠下丘脑中nesfatin-1表达明显增加(t=2.87,P0.05),禁食24 h后血浆nesfatin-1水平明显降低(t=1.51,P0.05)。结论:Nesfatin-1抑制摄食作用可能由nesfatin-1和CRF2信号系统共同调节。     

Nesfatin-1对大鼠摄食、胃酸分泌、胃运动及胃排空的影响

目的:观察Nesfatin-1对大鼠摄食、胃酸分泌、胃运动及胃排空的影响并探究其可能机制。方法:将大鼠随机分为摄食实验组、胃酸实验组、胃运动实验组以及胃排空实验组。大鼠经腹内侧核置管后给予nasfatin-1,检测大鼠摄食量,使用Na OH滴定法测定大鼠胃酸分泌,记录清醒大鼠胃运动,以比色法测定大鼠胃排空。结果:低剂量和高剂量nesfatin-1均减少2小时累积食物摄入量;高剂量组4小时累积食物摄入量仍显著低于NS对照组。Nesfatin-1能够抑制2-DG对胃酸分泌的促进作用。SHU9119能够部分阻断nesfatin-1对2-DG的抑制作用。Nesfatin-1能够抑制胃运动及胃排空,SHU9119可部分阻断nesfatin-1对胃运动及胃排空的抑制作用。结论:Nesfatin-1能够调控大鼠摄食、胃酸分泌、胃运动及胃排空,黑皮质素信号通路可能也参与该调控过程。     

第四脑室注射orexin-A及OX1R拮抗剂对大鼠摄食及自由活动的影响

本文旨在探讨第四脑室注射orexin-A及orexin 1型受体(orexin-1 receptor,OX1R)拮抗剂SB334867对肥胖和正常大鼠摄食和自由活动的影响。采用高脂饲料诱导建立肥胖大鼠模型,分别在肥胖和正常大鼠第四脑室注射不同剂量orexin-A或SB334867,观察光照和黑暗环境下两种大鼠0~4 h摄食量及活动量的变化。结果显示,第四脑室注射不同剂量orexin-A,光照条件下,正常和肥胖大鼠0~4 h摄食量和活动量均较生理盐水对照组明显增加,呈剂量依赖关系(P0.05~0.01);且肥胖大鼠摄食量和活动量显著高于正常大鼠;黑暗条件下,不同剂量的orexin-A对正常和肥胖大鼠摄食量和活动量均没有明显改变(P0.05)。第四脑室注射不同剂量SB334867,光照条件下,正常和肥胖大鼠0~2 h,2~4 h摄食量和活动量均较生理盐水对照组明显减少(P0.05);且肥胖大鼠摄食量和活动量均显著高于正常大鼠;黑暗条件下,正常和肥胖大鼠摄食量和活动量均没有明显改变(P0.05)。以上结果提示,第四脑室周核团可能是orexin-A及OX1R作用靶点之一;光照条件对orexin-A和OX1R生理功能的发挥可能具有重要影响。

Curcuminoids as inhibitors of thioredoxin reductase: A receptor based pharmacophore study with distance mapping of the active site

Curcumin is the yellow pigment of turmeric that interacts irreversibly forming an adduct with thioredoxin reductase (TrxR), an enzyme responsible for redox control of cell and defence against oxidative stress. Docking at both the active sites of TrxR was performed to compare the potency of three naturally occurring curcuminoids, namely curcumin, demethoxy curcumin and bis-demethoxy curcumin. Results show that active sites of TrxR occur at the junction of E and F chains. Volume and area of both cavities is predicted. It has been concluded by distance mapping of the most active conformations that Se atom of catalytic residue SeCYS498, is at a distance of 3.56 from C13 of demethoxy curcumin at the E chain active site, whereas C13 carbon atom forms adduct with Se atom of SeCys 498. We report that at least one methoxy group in curcuminoids is necessary for interation with catalytic residues of thioredoxin. Pharmacophore of both active sites of the TrxR receptor for curcumin and demethoxy curcumin molecules has been drawn and proposed for design and synthesis of most probable potent antiproliferative synthetic drugs.     

A Unique Protease Cleavage Site Predicted in the Spike Protein of the Novel Pneumonia Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) Potentially Related to Viral Transmissibility

正Dear Editor,In December 2019, a novel human coronavirus caused an epidemic of severe pneumonia(Coronavirus Disease 2019,COVID-19) in Wuhan, Hubei, China(Wu et al. 2020; Zhu et al. 2020). So far, this virus has spread to all areas of China and even to other countries. The epidemic has caused 67,102 confirmed infections with 1526 fatal cases     

Comparative morphology of the carpel in the Liliaceae: Hewardieae, Petrosavieae, and Tricyrteae

The young pistils in the melanthioid tribes, Hewardieae, Petrosavieae and Tricyrteae, are uniformly tricarpellate and syncarpous. They lack raphide idioblasts. All are multiovulate, with bitegmic ovules. The Petrosavieae are marked by the presence of septal glands and incomplete syncarpy. Tepals and stamens adhere to the ovary in the Hewardieae and the Petrosavieae but not in the Tricyrteae. Two vascular bundles occur in the stamens of the Hewartlieae and Tricyrtis latifolia. Ventral bundles in the upper part of the ovary of the Hewardieae are continuous with compound septal bundles and placental bundles in the lower part. Putative ventral bundles occur in the alternate position in the Tricyrteae and putative placental bundles in the opposite. position in the Petrosavieae. The dichtomously branched stigma in each carpel of the Tricyrteae is supplied by a bifurcated dorsal bundle.

Development of a Novel Reverse Transcription Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification Method for Rapid Detection of SARS-CoV-2

In conclusion, the novel visual RT-LAMP assay is a simple, rapid, and sensitive approach for detection of SARS-CoV-2, and it is ready for application in primary care and community hospitals or health care centers, and even patients' own houses in response to the current SARS-CoV-2 epidemic because the assay does not require sophisticated equipment and skilled personnel. Furthermore, it is also ready to be used in fields for screening samples from wild animals and environments to facilitate the identification of potential intermediate hosts that mediate the cross-species transmission of SARS-CoV-2 from bats to humans.     

Perinatal Vertical Transmission of Chikungunya Virus in Ruili,a Town on the Border between China and Myanmar

正Dear Editor,Chikungunya virus (CHIKV), an arbovirus in the family of Togaviridae, genus Alphavirus, is transmitted by the A.aegyptii or A. albopictus mosquito, and causes disease in humans characterized by fever, rash, and arthralgia (Silva and Dermody 2017; Suhrbier 2019). It was first reported in 1953 in Tanzania, and caused only a few outbreaks and sporadic cases in Africa and Asia in last century. However, in the epidemic in 2004, CHIKV acquired mutations that conferred enhanced transmission by the A. albopictus mosquito(Schuffenecker et al. 2006). Since then, it has successively caused outbreaks in Africa, the Indian Ocean, South East Asia, the South America, and Europe (Zeller et al. 2016).
