辣椒素引起脊髓P物质释放及其对血压的影响

为进一步研究脊髓 P 物质(SP)在调节心血管活动中的作用,在大鼠脊髓蛛网膜下腔注射(ith)辣淑素(cap),以刺激脊髓 SP 能神经末梢释放 SP,结果引起血浆去甲肾上腺素(NA)和肾上腺素(AD)含量增高,及具有剂量依赖性的动脉血压上升,心率升高。ith 具有高度特异性的 SP 受体拮抗剂或 SP 抗血清均可阻断 cap 引起的升压效应,免疫组化测定也观察到注入的cap 剂量越大,脊髓胸段 SP 样免疫阳性反应物的致密度越低,这些观察结果支持 cap 可以引起脊髓内 SP 的释放的说法。在第一颈段(C_1)横断脊髓后 ith cap 所引起的升压效应与完整动物 ith cap 的升压效应无显著差异。以上结果提示脊髓 SP 能神经末梢释放的 SP 可以通过交感肾上腺髓质系统引起心血管兴奋效应,SP 可能是引起交感节前神经元兴奋的神经递质。     

大鼠隔—海马通路损伤对海马内递质含量及酶活力的影响

单侧切断大鼠海马缴和部分穹窿可使海马部分去神经。损伤后7d,海马内胆碱能系统中乙酰胆碱(ACh)含量下降72.5%,胆碱乙酰基转移酶(ChAT)活力下降45.7%,胆碱酯酶活力下降52.2%,在单胺能系统中,去甲肾上腺素(NA)含量下降16.3%,多巴胺(DA)含量下降31.3%,5-羟色胺含量下降30.3%。在损伤过程中,海马内氨基酸含量没有改变。实验结果表明,海马缴和穹窿是脑内胆碱能和单胺能传入神经到达海马靶区的部分共同通路。     

去甲肾上腺素、乙酰胆碱对绵羊心肌浦肯野纤维瞬时性内向离子流的影响

用电压箝制术观察了去甲肾上腺素、乙酰胆碱对绵羊浦肯野纤维由乙酰毒毛旋花子甙元诱发的瞬时性内向离子流(I_Ti)的效应。当乙酰毒毛旋花子甙元浓度为4.5×10~(-8)mol/L 时,诱发出的I_(T1)稳定并能维持约1.5h。去甲肾上腺素1.5×10~(-6)mol/L,可使I_(Ti)的峰值由11.4±2.5nA 增加到14.5±4.1nA(n=11,P相似文献   

小麦间期集缩染色质的超微结构研究

本文以普通小麦(Triticum aestivum L.)根端分生组织为材料,在透射电镜下对间期细胞核内的集缩染色质的高层次结构进行了研究。在其中观察到直径约为20—25nm、50nm及110—120nm 的不同等级染色线,并且发现直径110—120nm 的染色线是由50nm 的染色线组成的,而直径约50nm 的染色线是由20—25nm 的染色线组成的。对这三个层次染色质结构之间的集缩方式进行了讨论。     

高山毛顶蛾新亚种及其生物学观察(鳞翅目:毛顶蛾科)

毛顶蛾科Eriocraniidae属较原始的小蛾类群。世界已知19种及1亚种,采自全北区桦树适生带,北纬45°—70°N之间,以北美、欧洲的种类最丰富。亚洲所知甚少,惟日本记载过广泛分布于全北区的2种,即:Erioerania sparrmannella(Bosc)和E.semi-purpurella(Stephens)。我国迄至1980年,才由杨集昆先生描述了发生在华北的这2个广布种。现增记青海产一新亚种,标本保存在青海省农林科学院林业研究所。     

Tandem duplication and divergence of a sea urchin protein belonging to the troponin C superfamily

The Spec1 and Spec2 proteins of the sea urchin Strongylocentrotus purpuratus are related to calmodulin, troponin C, and myosin light chains by sequence similarity in their four calcium binding domains. These domains, the EF-hands, are distinct helix-loop-helix structures of about 40 amino acids. The Spec1 and Spec2 genes are expressed specifically in aboral ectoderm cells of the developing embryo; however, the function of the Spec proteins in these cells is unknown. To find conserved regions of the proteins that might be important for structure and function, Spec homologues from Lytechinus pictus, a distantly related sea urchin, were sought. L. pictus embryos do not synthesize detectable amounts of the 14,000-17,000-Da Spec proteins as determined by two-dimensional gel electro-phoresis, but do synthesize three 34,000-Da proteins that cross-react with Spec1 antibodies and display a similar ontogenetic pattern of expression. cDNA clones were isolated by hybridization to a synthetic oligonucleotide corresponding to the EF-hand. One clone, LpS1, encodes an mRNA with developmental properties like those of the S. purpuratus Spec mRNAs. However, LpS1 contains an open reading frame for a protein of 34,000 Da rather than 17,000 Da, and antibodies raised against part of the LpS1 reading frame demonstrate that LpS1 encodes a 34,000-Da protein in L. pictus embryos. The sequence of LpS1 reveals the presence of eight EF-hand domains, which share structural homology with the Spec1 or Spec2 EF-hands; however, little else in the protein sequence is conserved. The results support the hypothesis that the LpS1 gene arose from a duplication of an ancestral Spec gene and that the overall structural features of the Spec family of proteins are more conserved than the amino acid sequences.     

The effects of calcium channel blockers on isoproterenol induced cyclic adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate generation in intact human lymphocytes

We have investigated the effects of clinically available calcium channel blockers (nifedipine, verapamil and diltiazem) on isoproterenol stimulated cyclic adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cyclic AMP) generation in intact human lymphocytes. After preincubation of various calcium antagonists with intact lymphocytes at 37 degrees C for 15 minutes, 10 microM nifedipine or verapamil partially inhibited isoproterenol induced cyclic AMP generation in the presence of cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase inhibitor (3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine) while they alone had no effect on cyclic AMP level at a concentration of up to 100 microM. In contrast, 10 nM-1.0 microM nifedipine, verapamil or diltiazem potentiated cyclic AMP generation induced by isoproterenol in a dose dependent manner. Similar results were observed in the time course studies of cyclic AMP generation. These effects are somewhat similar to the effect of phenothiazine, a calmodulin inhibitor, which, at 10 microM (close to IC50), also potentiated the effects of isoproterenol. In contrast, lanthanum chloride (LaCl3), an extracellular inorganic calcium antagonist, at 1.0 mM, inhibited isoproterenol induced cyclic AMP generation. The biochemical mechanisms underlying these potentiating effects are unknown. It may be partly related to the effect of calcium channel blockers (at least for nifedipine) on preventing beta 2 adrenergic receptor desensitization. This may provide a potential mechanism for the synergistic effect between calcium channel blockers and beta 2 adrenoceptor agonists on bronchial dilatation.     

立枯丝核菌蛋白质电泳图谱研究 Ⅰ.融合群与图谱的相关性

用来自日本和美国的立枯丝核菌8个融合群11个类群代表菌株进行可溶性蛋白质电泳,其结果表明,各融合群及亚群之间电泳图谱有显著差异,而同一类群菌株的电泳图谱则相似。分析来源于华东等地已鉴定的融合类群117个菌株的电泳图谱显示,同一融合群内菌株,虽然采集地区、寄主植物或致病力不同,其蛋白质图谱仍十分相似;而不同融合类群的菌株,即使在同一田块中同一种寄主植物上引起相似病害,其图谱也显示出明显差异。本文就上述可溶性蛋白质图谱显示的结果与其它研究者在血清学、DNA同源性.酯酶等生化水平上对融合群的研究结果进行了比较和探讨。
