大鼠应激性胃粘膜损害与eAMPCa~2及能量代谢变化的关系

本文采用放射免疫测定法、原子吸收光谱分析法和生化酶分析法,测定了大鼠在经受束缚加浸水急性应激四小时内,胃组织cAMP Ca~(2+)及在ATP、ADP、AMP和能量代谢的短期动态变化,同时观察了胃粘膜的损害程度。结果发现胃粘膜损害面积密度随着应激时间延长而逐渐增加;胃组织cAMP和Ca~(2+)则进行性降低;两者呈密切负相关;胃组织能量代谢却略有增强。若预先给以CaCl_2,再予应激,则有减轻应激性胃粘膜损害的作用。     

Effects of α2- and β-adrenoceptor agonists on growth hormone secretion following lesion of the noradrenergic system of the rat

The aim of the present investigation was to lesion the noradrenergic system and to measure the effect on growth hormone (GH) secretion following peripheral administration of ₂- and -adrenoceptor agonists. Direct injection of these agonists into the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus (PVN) and its effect on GH secretion were also investigated. Systemic administration of N-2-chloroethyl-N-ethyl-2-bromobenzylamine (DSP₄, 60 mg/kg, injected i.p. 10 days prior to experimentation) significantly decreased the noradrenaline (NA) content of the hippocampus, frontal cortex and hypothalamus but had no effect on the dopamine (DA) or serotonin (5-HT) content of these areas. Bilateral injection of 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA, 10 g/l, 14 days prior to experimentation) into the medial forebrain bundle (MFB) caused a greater reduction of NA and also decreased the DA and 5-HT content of the hypothalamus. Analysis of the PVN of the hypothalami of rats following 6-OHDA lesion of the MFB showed significantly decreased NA and 5-HT content. Neither DSP₄ treatment nor 6-OHDA lesion of the MFB affected the clonidine (250 g/kg, i.p.) induced stimulation of GH secretion. Injection of isoproterenol (1 mg/kg, i.p.) had varying effects on GH secretion. It stimulated GH release in control rats but not in DSP₄ or MFB lesioned rats. Direct injection of clonidine (0.1 g/l) into the PVN significantly stimulated GH secretion, whereas injection of isoproterenol (2.5 g/l) into the PVN did not affect GH levels when compared to controls. The results of the present study do not support the hypothesis that hypoactivity of the central noradrenergic system may be the cause of the blunted GH response to clonidine observed in depressed patients.     

血清胃泌素变化与急性胃粘膜病变关系的研究

对大白鼠血清中胃泌素水平的变化与急性胃粘膜病变的关系进行了初步的研究,结果表明以消炎痛为诱因引起的急性胃粘膜病变大白鼠血清胃泌素水平明显增高。而维酶素可以抑制因消炎痛引起的急性胃粘膜病变时血清胃泌素的释放,对胃粘膜具有保护作用。     

中缝大核在臂旁内侧核区注射吗啡所致呼吸抑制效应中的作用

实验在33只浅麻醉、肌肉麻痹、人工呼吸及切断双侧颈迷走神经的家兔上进行。观察中缝大核区电解损毁或微量注射利多卡因对呼吸活动及臂旁内侧核区微量注射吗啡所致呼吸抑制效应的影响。结果是:电解损毀中缝大核区,使呼吸频率增加,膈神经放电的幅度和频率均无明显变化,而臂旁内侧核区微量注射吗啡抑制呼吸的程度减轻;中缝大核区微量注射利多卡因,则部分消除臂旁内侧核区微量注射吗啡的呼吸抑制效应。中缝大核旁网状结构电解损毁或微量注射利多卡因,不影响吗啡的呼吸抑制效应。上述结果提示,中缝大核区可能在脑桥臂旁内侧核区微量注射吗啡抑制呼吸的机制中起一定作用。     

Substance P and enkephalin in transected axons of medulla and spinal cord

The accumulation of transported materials in cut axons is demonstrated by the light and electron microscopic immunocytochemical localization of substance P and enkephalin in the caudal medulla and cervical spinal cord of adult rat. Two days following unilateral knife-cuts in the caudal medulla or spinal (C2-C3) levels, substance P and enkephalin-like immunoreactivity (SPLI and ELI) are detected in lesioned axons located rostral and caudal to the transection. Rostrally, SPLI and ELI are detected in the lateral reticular region and ventrolateral fasciculus corresponding to the location of previously identified bulbospinal pathways. Caudally, previously unidentified, propriospinal pathways showing SPLI are detected in the dorsal columns and in the dorsolateral fasciculus. In contrast, ELI is found caudal to the transection only in the reticular region of the medulla. For both peptides, immunoreactivity is present throughout axons containing numerous large, dense core, and small clear vesicles. These results support the concept of both particulate and soluble modes of transport for substance P and enkephalin within axons of the central nervous system.     

Characterization of the eaeA gene from rabbit enteropathogenic Escherichia coli strain RDEC-1 and comparison to other eaeA genes from bacteria that cause attaching-effacing lesions

Abstract A number of enteric pathogens, including enteropathogenic (EPEC) and enterohemorrhagic (EHEC) Escherichia coli , Hafnia alvei , a strain of Citrobacter freundii , and rabbit EPEC strain RDEC-1 cause attaching-effacing (AE) lesions in the gut mucosa. These bacteria have a pathogenicity cassette (locus of enterocyte effacement or LEE) containing the eaeA gene. This gene encodes intimin, an outer membrane protein required for production of AE lesions. RDEC-1, a non-invasive enteropathogen in young rabbits, produces AE lesions morphologically indistinguishable from lesions caused by human AE bacterial strains. The RDEC-1 example of E. coli diarrhea in rabbits is an important model for studying the pathogenesis of AE bacteria in a natural infection and for analyzing specific roles of the components of LEE. In order to better understand the role of intimin in the development of AE lesions, a portion of DNA within RDEC-1 LEE, containing the eaeA gene and an upstream open reading frame (ORF), was sequenced. The RDEC-1 eaeA gene shared 87%, 92%, and 93% DNA sequence identity and > 80% amino acid sequence identity with the eaeA genes of C. freundii biotype 4280, EHEC O157:H7, and EPEC O127:H6, respectively. The carboxy-terminal 280 amino acid residues of intimin has 80%, 56%, and 54% identity with C. freundii , EHEC O157:H7, and EPEC O127:H6 intimins, respectively. The predicted protein encoded by the upstream ORF (156 amino acids) shares 95%, 97%, and 99% amino acid identity with predicted proteins from C. freundii , EHEC O157:H7, and EPEC O127:H6, respectively. The high degree of sequence homology of the ORF and the eaeA gene of RDEC-1 with those of other AE bacteria suggests an evolutionary relationship of LEE and supports and facilitates the use of the RDEC-1 model for studying the role of LEE in pathogenesis.     

The effect of rebamipide on gastric xanthine oxidase activity and type conversion in ethanol-treated rats

Rebamipide, a novel antipeptic ulcer drug, 2-(4-chlorobenzoylamino)-3-[2(1H)-quinolinone-4-yl]-propionic acid, was studied for its inhibitory effect on gastric xanthine oxidase activity and type conversion of the enzyme that has a profound role in free radical generation. Intraperitoneal administration of rebamipide at 60 mg/kg body weight reduced gastric mucosal hemorrhagic lesions and lipid peroxidation, which was proportional to the inhibitory effect of rebamipide on alcohol-induced xanthine oxidase-type conversion and enzyme activity. It was also observed that the activity of xanthine oxidase was significantly inhibited by administration of rebamipide at 60 mg/kg body weight, leading to a significant reduction of lipid peroxide content in alcohol-treated rats. The results suggest that alcohol-induced gastric mucosal lesions might be, in part, due to the increased activity of xanthine oxidase and type conversion rate of the enzyme and the protective effect of rebamipide on gastric mucosal lesions would result from its ability to protect against oxidative stress on gastric mucosal lesions of alcohol-treated rats.

乳腺肿瘤中抗酸菌L型感染的研究

用ＩＫ抗酸染色和卡介苗抗体免疫组化染色等方法对乳腺癌（９７例）,和乳腺纤维腺瘤（２１例）进行了研究。结果发现Ｌ型阳性例数在乳腺癌和乳腺纤维腺瘤间无显著差异（Ｐ〉０．０５）。乳腺癌中抗酸菌Ｌ型主要分布于癌细胞巢及其间质内,常集聚成堆,且该处癌细胞有不同程度变性或坏死。乳腺纤维腺瘤中的抗酸菌Ｌ型主要存在于间质巨噬细胞中。并讨论了抗酸菌Ｌ型感染与乳腺癌发生的可能关系。
