Production and characterization of antibodies against HT-2 toxin and T-2 tetraol tetraacetate.

Three new immunogens which were prepared by conjugation of the carboxymethyl oxime (CMO) derivatives of HT-2 toxin, T-2 tetraol (T-2 4ol), and T-2 tetraol tetraacetate (T-2 4Ac) to bovine serum albumin (BSA) were tested for the production of antibodies against the major metabolites of T-2 toxin. Antibodies against HT-2 toxin and T-2 4Ac were obtained from rabbits 5 to 10 weeks after immunizing the animals with CMO-HT-2-BSA and CMO-T-2 4Ac-BSA conjugates. Immunization with CMO-T-2 4ol-BSA resulted in no antibody against T-2 4ol. The antibody produced against HT-2 toxin had great affinity for HT-2 toxin as well as good cross-reactivity with T-2 toxin. The relative cross-reactivities of anti-HT-2 toxin antibody with HT-2 toxin, T-2 toxin, iso-T-2 toxin, acetyl-T-2 toxin, 3'-OH HT-2, 3'-OH T-2, T-2 triol, and 3'-OH acetyl-T-2, were 100, 25, 10, 3.3, 0.25, 0.15, 0.12 and 0.08%, respectively. Antibody against CMO-T-2 4Ac was very specific for T-2 4Ac and had less than 0.1% cross-reactivity with T-2 toxin, HT-2 toxin, acetyl-T-2 toxin, diacetoxyscirpenol, deoxynivalenol, and deoxynivalenol triacetate as compared with T-2 4Ac. The detection limits for HT-2 toxin and T-2 4ol by radioimmunoassay were approximately 0.1 and 0.5 ng per assay, respectively.     

An electrophoretic karyotype for Schizosaccharomyces pombe by pulsed field gel electrophoresis.

The three chromosomal DNAs of S. pombe have been fractionated by pulsed field gel electrophoresis. The resulting molecular karyotype will greatly speed gene mapping in this organism, and it indicates that the separation range of the technique extends to DNA molecules as large as 9,000,000 base pairs.     

刺激杏仁基底外侧核对外侧缰核神经元单位放电的影响

用玻璃微电极细胞外记录大鼠外侧缰核(LHN)神经元的单位放电。共记录了110个神经元。其中痛兴奋神经元(LHPE)75个;痛抑制神经元(LHPI)11个;广动力型神经元2个;无反应神经元17个;此外还有5个对躯体与内脏伤害性刺激反应不同的神经元。电刺激杏仁基底外侧核(以下简称杏仁核,AMG)对LHPE和LHPI的自发放电主要产生抑制作用,分别占总数的81.1％和72.7％,并抑制其对伤害性刺激的反应;对无反应神经元和广动力型神经元无明显影响。AMG内微量注射吗啡能抑制LHPE的伤害性刺激反应,但对其自发放电无明显影响。微量注射纳洛酮则可增加LHPE的自发放电频率,并加强其对伤害性刺激的反应。注射纳洛酮还可以取消电针对LHPE的伤害性刺激反应的抑制作用。     

刺激兔迷走神经引起的压抑心室纤颤作用

单个期前刺激引起急性缺血心脏能终止的心室纤颤。电刺激左侧颈迷走神经外周端可以缩短心室纤颤的持续时间。静脉注射β受体阻滞剂心得安后,刺激迷走神经对心室纤颤的作用消失。实验表示增加迷走神经的紧张性可能对终止室颤起有益作用。     

冷冻或切除小脑蚓部山顶(Culmen)对豚鼠“踏步自动作用”(Stepping automatism)的影响

本研究探讨部分冷冻或切除小脑蚓部(vermis)对整体豚鼠“踏步自动作用”(steppingautomatism)的影响。“踏步自动作用”由我们近年来发现的诱发踏步物质(SIS)(4-R-2,2,5,5-四(三氟甲基)-咪唑啉)所引起。结果表明部分冷冻或切除小脑蚓部的山顶(culmen,Ⅴ和Ⅳ叶)和中央叶(Centralis,Ⅲa,b)明显增强豚鼠的“踏步自动作用”。冷冻小脑不能触发,但仅能调控“踏步自动作用”。这种调控作用对自动化程度差的弱“踏步自动作用”特别显著。蚓部山顶(Ⅴ叶为主)同时调控左右前肢踏步,而一侧蚓部山顶及其半球则主要调控同侧前肢踏步。此外,本研究的结果表明当介面温度(冷冻头和小脑幕间)致冷至5℃—0℃左右,冷冻小脑便可基本模拟部分切除小脑效应。     

大鼠脑室注射P物质引起的血压升高与脑啡肽和β-内啡肽有关

给乌拉坦麻醉大鼠侧脑室注射P物质(SP)10μg 引起的升压效应,可被脑室注射纳洺酮15μg 部分阻断。将抗β-内啡肽抗血清、抗甲啡肽抗血清及抗亮啡肽抗血清各10μl 分别注入侧脑室预处理60min 后,再注入 SP,其升压效应明显减弱;而抗强啡肽抗血清则对其无影响。上述结果提示:大鼠脑室注射 SP 引起的升压效应,可能是通过释放β-内啡肽和脑啡肽实现的。     

氟碳乳剂与右旋糖酐对犬缺血心肌侧支循环供氧的影响

本实验在14只麻醉开胸狗心脏上观察了氟碳乳剂与右旋糖酐稀释血液对心肌耗氧量与供应缺血心肌氧量关系的影响。以左室压力-时间指数(SPTI)作为心肌耗氧量的指标,根据冠脉有效侧支血流量(ECF)、PaO_2和 Hb 浓度计算供应缺血心肌的氧量。实验结果表明,低分子右旋糖酐稀释血液后,SPTI 暂时性轻度增加(稀释后30min 时较对照增加7.1±2.7%,P<0.05,稀释后60min 时增加2.8±1.2%,P>0.05),ECF 明显增多(稀释后30min 时较对照增加58.5±6.1%,P<0.01),缺血区边缘心肌氧供需关系未发生明显变化。氟碳乳剂稀释血液后,SPTI 的变化规律与右旋糖酐稀释后相同(稀释后30min 和60min 时分别较对照增加2.5±0.7%和1.9±0.8%)ECF 和 PaO_2升高(稀释后30min 时分别较对照增加53.9±6.7%和93±8.9%),供应缺血心肌的氧量显著增加,缺血区边缘心肌氧供需矛盾明显改善。     

电刺激兔脑干中缝背核引起呼吸易化效应的观察

本文在30只全麻、制动、断双侧迷走神经的家兔上,记录一侧膈神经放电,观察了电刺激脑干中缝背核(Nucleus Raphe Dorsalis,NRD)所诱发出的呼吸效应。1.施以6—10s 长串电脉冲刺激(波宽0.3ms,频率100Hz,波幅4—6V),诱发出了强的呼吸易化效应,使呼吸加深加快。2.吸气相给予0.4s 短串电脉冲刺激可以明显的延长吸气相,用0.15mA 强度刺激,落位在吸气相的2/3时效应最明显。3.呼气相短串电脉串刺激可规律地使呼气时程缩短,促进呼气向吸气的位相转换,诱发此效应出现的强度阈值在呼气相中逐渐降低。
