赤(瓜包)亚族植物叶片中脉的比较解剖

本文对赤(瓜包)属(Thladiantha Bunge)、白兼果属(Baijiana A.M.Lu et J.Q.Li)和苦瓜属(Momordica L.)共11种植物叶片中脉进行了比较解剖学研究。除苦瓜属一种外,其余10种的叶片中脉解剖学资料均为首次报道。分析结果表明:叶片中脉维管束的数目以及排列方式具有分类学意义,而种间和种内维管束数目的减少,在一定程度上反映出植物迁移和演化的方向。     

Expression of c-myc protooncogene in rat lens cells during development,maturation and reversal of galactose cataracts

It is well established that normal patterns of epithelial cell proliferation and metabolism, and of fiber cell differentiation and maturation are essential for the maintenance of transparency in the ocular lens. Several factors, including exposure to high levels of sugars, have been known to result in the compromise of lens transparency. For example, initiation of lens cell damage by galactose induces lens epithelial cells to proliferate. Elevated levels of c-myc mRNA have usually been correlated with rapid cell growth and increased entry of cells into the S phase. Therefore, changes in c-myc mRNA levels may provide an early indication of the stimulation of lens epithelial cells to proliferate and differentiate, which has been postulated to be an early and important event in response to lens cell injury by galactose. By Northern blot hybridization analysis we quantitated c-myc mRNA levels in the lens capsule epithelia of rats (1) exposed to galactose, and (2) undergoing a partial recovery from the galactose-induced cell damage. At the onset of lens cell damage, we find c-myc mRNA to elevate to 6-fold by 24 hr, and by 48 hr decreases to about 3-fold the normal levels. During recovery, c-myc mRNA continues to be expressed at high levels approaching a 10-fold increase by day 12, then decreasing to levels of about 8-fold the control by day 30. The 24 h transitory elevation in c-myc mRNA in lens epithelial cells is in accord with our previous observations on the 24 h increase in MP26, crystallin and aldose reductase mRNAs following a high influx of galactose. Therefore, the elevation in c-myc mRNA as well suggest that galactose appears to cause lens cells to undergo an early transitory period of gene induction following the exposure of lens cells to galactose.     

垂体在刺激脑内渗透压感受器引起的肾脏反应中的作用

实验在α氯醛糖和氨基甲酸乙酯混合麻醉的大鼠中进行。脑室内注射高张盐水(icv.HS)后,肾血浆流量、肾小球滤过率、尿量、尿钠排出量、尿钾排出量和渗透物质清除率均增加,游离水清除率下降。去除垂体后,icv.HS不再能引起上述肾脏反应。另外给大鼠静脉注射血管升压素(VP)拮抗剂(V_1和V_2受体拮抗剂),并不能削弱上述icv.HS引起的肾脏反应。脑室内注射高张盐水后,尿中多巴胺(DA)排出量无显著增多;给予多巴脱羧酶抑制剂苄丝肼也不能削弱icv.HS引起的肾脏反应。上述实验结果表明,在本实验条件下刺激脑内渗透压感受器引起的肾脏反应依赖于垂体的完整性,但看来并不依赖于外周的VP和DA,故垂体通过何种机制介导icv.HS引起上述肾脏反应,有待于进一步的研究。     

去甲肾上腺素在大鼠缰核引起的心血管效应及其机制

在乌拉坦麻醉的大鼠,研究了去甲肾上腺素(NE)在缰核(Hb)引起的心血管效应及其机制。Hb内微量注射NE使平均动脉压和心率呈剂量依赖性增加。用α受体阻断剂酚妥拉明预处理Hb,可明显减弱NE在Hb引起的心血管效应,但β受体阻断剂心得安或生理盐水不引起任何影响。Hb内微量注射海人酸使平均动脉压和心率明显增加,但Hb内微量注射利多卡因则不能引起明显的心血管效应。上述结果表明,Hb内NE在调节心血管活动中起重要作用,而这种效应可能是通过激活α受体使Hb兴奋的结果。     

第三脑室注射组胺及其受体激动剂对五肽促胃液素诱导的大鼠胃酸分泌的影响

本文报道第三脑室注射组胺(0.25—2.0μg/5μl)对五肽促胃液素诱导的胃酸分泌的双重影响。雄性Wistar大鼠,重200—300g,戊巴比妥钠腹腔麻醉。用37℃生理盐水通过恒流泵进行连续胃灌流。在静脉恒速灌注五肽促胃液素(7.5μg/kg·h)的基础上,第三脑室注射组胺(0.25μg/5μl)或H_1受体激动剂2-Pyridylethylamine(PEA,10μg/5μl),10min后总酸排出量即开始减少,90min仍未恢复。组胺剂量增至1.0μg或2.0μg时,出现双重效应。部份动物(分别占73％或50％)胃酸分泌减少,另一部分动物(27％或50％)胃酸分泌增多。H_2受体激动剂dimaprit(10μg/5μl)或impromidine(0.1μg/5μl)对胃酸分泌无明显影响。苯海拉明(16μg/0.2ml或32μg/0.2ml,i.m.)预处理可分别取消组胺和PEA的抑胃酸效应。这些结果提示:脑内组胺可能参与胃酸分泌中枢调节。其抑制效应似通过H_1受体介导;双重效应的机制有待进一步研究。     

脑室注射6-羟多巴胺对黄鼠冬眠入眠的影响

采用脑室内注射化学去交感药物6-羟多巴胺(6-OHDA)的方法,观察了人为地降低脑内去甲肾上腺素(NE)系统活动对达乌尔黄鼠入眠的影响。结果表明:脑室注射100-200μg6-OHDA使脑内NE含量减少50％以上,明显促进黄鼠入眠,平均入眠诱导期比自然冬眠动物明显缩短,整个冬眠季内冬眠时间延长,冬眠黄鼠仍具有正常的入眠觉醒周期。这些结果提示脑内NE系统活动水平降低是触发动物入眠的重要因素之一。     

中国柞蚕幼虫腹足趾钩的研究

趾钩是鳞翅目幼虫分类上常用的特征之一。从本世纪40年代起,神冈等对家蚕幼虫腹足趾钩进行了广泛的研究,中岛(1956)对柞蚕幼虫腹足趾钩有过简短的报告。柞蚕幼虫腹足趾钩不但与地理品种分化有关,而且,由于柞蚕幼虫在野外山林中生活,柞蚕取食等活动,均靠趾钩把握柞枝,趾钩与柞蚕把握力有着密切关系。现将柞蚕幼虫腹足趾钩的形态特征扼要报告如下。
