大鼠离体乳头肌收缩末期张力—长度关系的曲线性

大鼠离体左室乳头肌固定于最适初长位,逐步递减“后荷”获得一系列等张收缩的张力、长度缩短程度和速度。结果发现:(1)收缩末期张力-长度关系(ESTLR)为指数曲线,回归方程 T=ar~(-bL)-K 拟合的优度明显高于线性方程拟合的优度(P<0.001),其中 a,k 分别代表总张力和静息张力,b 为曲线的弯曲度;(2)在高钙(4mmol/L)或去甲肾上腺素(NE10~(-6)mol/L)作用下,ESTLR 右上移位,a,b 和无张力缩短速度 L_O 均增大(P均<0.01),尤以高钙时的变化更明显,(3)NE 使张力-速度曲线的右上移位比高钙显著。这提示大鼠离体心肌的 ESTLR 呈非线性特征,参数 a,b 及长度轴截距 L_O 对收缩强度的变化敏感,但对收缩速度改变的敏感性可能比经典的力学指标低。     

刺激大鼠迷走神经向中端对其不同脑区5-HT含量的影响

采用荧光分光光度法,测定脑内5-HT的含量,观察电刺激两侧颈迷走神经向中端对大鼠海马、下丘脑和中-桥脑内5-HT含量的影响,结果如下:(1)刺激迷走神经向中端后,三脑区的5-HT含量均显著增加(P<0.05-0.005);(2)侧脑室内注射新斯的明(10μg/10μl)或烟碱(10μg/10μl)后,刺激迷走神经向中端使三脑区5-HT含量增多的效应显著提高(p<0.01-0.001);(3)侧脑室内注射六烃季胺(250μg/10μl)后,刺激迷走神经向中端使三脑区5-HT含量增多的效应显著下降(p<0.05-0.005);(4)侧脑室内注射阿托品(10μg/10μl)或纳洛酮(10μg/10μl)后,不影响刺激迷走神经向中端引起的三脑区5-HT含量增多的效应(p>0.05)。由此看来,迷走传入冲动很可能先使脑内Ach释放增多,然后,Ach作用于N-胆碱受体而导致海马、下丘脑和中-桥脑内5-HT含量增加。以上结果表明,在脑内,迷走传入纤维和5-HT能神经元之间可能存在着机能联系。     

消炎痛及PGF_(2α)对在体培养人子宫内膜出血的影响

利用甾体激素撤退方法造成移植在地鼠颊囊内人子宫内膜出血的动物模型,研究消炎痛和PGF_(2a)对内膜出血的作用。结果表明,注射三种不同剂量消炎痛并不能完全抑制内膜出血,但对内膜出血时间有延缓作用。用两种不同剂量的PGF_(2a)采取缓慢释放给药方法,虽然地鼠在给药后外周血液中PGF_(2a)水平比给药前显著增高,但内膜出血并不出现在撤退甾体激素之前。结果提示,PGF_(2a)对内膜血管破裂无直接作用,而纤溶活性变化可能是触子宫内膜出血更直接的原因。     

蟾蜍卵母细胞的Na~+/H~+交换

应用pH选择性徽电极和普通檄电极测量了蟾蜍卵母细胞内的pH值(pHi)。当用含NH_4~+而不含HCO_3~-的溶液培灌卵母细胞时,pHi逐渐下降,在停止培灌后,pHi恢复到对照值。这个pHi恢复过程是一个H~+的主动转运,用胆碱离子取代培灌液中的Na~+可以抑制pHi的恢复,这种抑制作用是可逆的。伴随着细胞内pH值的恢复,细胞内Na~+活度(Na_1~+)呈现暂时性增加,而细胞内Cl-活度(Cl_1~+)不变或稍有增加。实验结果提示在蟾蜍卵母细胞膜上存在着Na~+/H~+的交换。     

酵母的不同显色法的研究

在多年采集分离酵母菌的基础上,本文报道其中43属的600多株主要与担子菌有关的酵母及其他酵母的DBB反应,其中某些菌以往尚未测定过,从而广泛比较了担子菌酵母、子囊菌酵母与某些类酵母的区别。此外在方法上,摸索了其他未见报道的重氮盐的显色效果,发现固红B盐对布掷孢酵母(Bulleta Derx)的反应比DBB更灵敏。同时试验了热碱·乙醇处理细胞的快速DBB测试法,用此法测定某些疑难菌株,结果稳定,可大大缩短测试周期,并适用于多毛有气生菌丝的菌类。     

日本血吸虫童虫在终宿主体内的生长发育

本文对日本血吸虫童虫从终宿主的皮肤至肝门脉系移行过程的生长发育特点进行观察和分析,发现皮肤、肺、秆门三型童虫的体形、体长、体积、面积,发育率及生长速度均呈动态变化,而且这些变化与其生理功能是相适应的,因而为童虫体外培养、血吸虫病的免疫和药物预防研究提供材料来源和评价标准。     

延髓中缝核区注射谷氨酸钠降低大鼠动脉血压的作用

本工作研究了大鼠延髓中缝核在心血管活动调整中的作用。通过埋植套管向大鼠延髓中缝核区注射神经元兴奋剂谷氨酸钠5-μg可明显降低血压,抑制交感神经传出活动,心率无显著改变。降血压效应可被脊髓蛛网膜下腔注射5-HT受体阻断剂肉桂硫胺50μg,或腹腔注射赛庚啶15mg/kg所部分对抗;并可被皮下注射阿片受体阻断剂纳洛酮1mc/kg所削弱。结果提示:延髓中缝核-脊髓5-HT下行通路对脊髓的血管调节功能起抑制性影响,内源性阿片样物质可能参与该机制。     

Crassulacean Acid Metabolism and Crassulacean Acid Metabolism Modifications in Peperomia camptotricha

Peperomia camptotricha, a tropical epiphyte from Mexico, shows variable forms of Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM). Young leaves exhibit CAM-cycling, while mature leaves show an intermediate type of metabolism, between CAM and CAM-cycling, having approximately the same amount of nighttime gas exchange as daytime. Metabolism of young leaves appears independent of daylength, but mature leaves have a tendency toward more CAM-like metabolism under short days (8 hours). Large differences in the physical appearance of plants were found between those grown under short daylengths and those grown under long daylengths (14 hours). Some anatomical differences were also detected in the leaves. Water stress caused a switch to CAM in young and mature leaves, and as water stress increased, they shifted to CAM-idling.     

Physiological and isotopic aspects of photosynthesis in peperomia

Physiological and isotopic aspects of several Peperomia species were investigated. All but one species had C₃-like stomatal behavior, in that stomata were open during the day and closed during the night. In these species, most atmospheric CO₂ uptake occurred during the day. Concurrent with this stomatal behavior, there were Crassulacean acid metabolism-like acid fluctuations in most species. Carbon and hydrogen isotope ratios of cellulose nitrate from Peperomia reflect their physiological behavior. The δ¹³C values of cellulose nitrate from Peperomia species were similar to values observed in C₃ plants and consistent with the daytime uptake of exogeneous CO₂ via the C₃ photosynthetic pathway. The δD values of cellulose nitrate from Peperomia species approach those of Crassulacean acid metabolism plants. These elevated δD values are caused by fractionations occurring during biochemical reactions and not as a consequence of water relations.
