Photoperiod-dependent changes in exocytotic activity in the hypophyseal pars tuberalis of the Djungarian hamster,Phodopus sungorus

The pars tuberalis of the hypophysis of the Djungarian hamster, Phodopus sungorus, was investigated with regard to secretory activity by applying the tannic acid-Ringer perfusion technique. Two groups were maintained under long photoperiods (16 h light: 8 h dark) or short photoperiods (8 h light: 16 h dark), respectively. Perfusion with tannic acid showed that specific pars tuberalis cells release some of their secretory granules as indicated by typical exocytotic figures. The percentage of cells displaying exocytotic activity was significantly higher in the pars tuberalis of hamsters kept under long photoperiods. The number of exocytotic figures per single cell was not increased. These results provide further evidence for a secretory activity of the pars tuberalis and support the hypothesis of its involvement as a mediator between photoperiodic stimuli and the endocrine system.     

中医正骨手法改善桡骨远端伸直型骨折患者腕关节功能的临床研究及疗效的影响因素分析

摘要 目的：观察中医正骨手法在桡骨远端伸直型骨折中的临床应用价值,并分析疗效的影响因素。方法：选择四川省骨科医院2020年1月~2022年1月期间收治的桡骨远端伸直型骨折患者152例,按照治疗方式的不同将患者分为对照组（给予石膏固定）和研究组（应用中医正骨手法治疗）,例数分别为77例和75例。对比两组优良率、临床指标、腕关节活动度和X线相关影像学指标。同时采用多因素Logistic回归分析影响研究组腕关节功能疗效的相关因素。结果：治疗后,研究组的优良率明显高于对照组（P<0.05）。研究组手背消肿时间、疼痛缓解时间、骨折愈合时间均短于对照组（P<0.05）。两组治疗后12周掌屈、背伸、桡偏、尺偏、旋前、旋后活动度均扩大,且研究组均大于对照组（P<0.05）。两组治疗后12周掌倾角、尺偏角、桡骨高度均增加,且研究组均大于对照组（P<0.05）。单因素分析显示,研究组腕关节功能优良率与年龄、性别、骨质疏松、功能锻炼、掌倾角、尺偏角、桡骨高度、骨折端稳定性、受伤能量、利手情况有关（P<0.05）,而与体质量指数、就诊时间、基础疾病、骨折类型、固定时间无关（P>0.05）。多因素Logistic回归分析显示：性别为女、骨质疏松、无功能锻炼、掌倾角偏小、桡骨高度偏短、骨折端不稳定、受伤能量为高能量、利手是影响腕关节功能优良率的危险因素（P<0.05）。结论：中医正骨手法可有效改善桡骨远端伸直型骨折患者腕关节功能,减少骨折愈合及疼痛缓解时间。此外,患者腕关节功能的优良率还受到性别、骨质疏松、功能锻炼、掌倾角、桡骨高度、骨折端稳定性、受伤能量、利手情况的影响,值得引起临床重视。

Outgroup heteroduplex analysis using temperature gradient gel electrophoresis: high resolution, large scale, screening of DNA variation in the mitochondrial control region

The ability of DNA screening techniques such as Temperature Gradient Gel Electrophoresis (TGGE) and Heteroduplex Analysis to provide resolution approaching that provided by DNA sequencing for a fraction of the time, effort and expense point to them as the logical successor to allozyme electrophoresis for population genetics. Here we present a novel alternative to the standard TGGE/Heteroduplex Analysis protocol - Outgroup Heteroduplex Analysis (OHA). We assess this technique's sensitivity in comparison to previous screening approaches using a known hierarchy of sequence differences. Our data show that Outgroup Heteroduplex Analysis has greatly increased sensitivity for screening DNA variants from that of TGGE used alone and is easily applicable to large numbers of samples. Using this technique we can consistently detect differences of as small as one base change in a 433-base-pair fragment of Control Region mitochondrial DNA from Melomys cerbinipes (an Australian rodent). The approach should easily be extendable to nuclear loci and is not necessarily dependent on the use of a denaturing gradient When combined with a targeted sequencing effort, OHA provides a sensitive and simple means of obtaining allele/haplotype frequencies and their phylogenies for population and phylogeographic studies in molecular ecology.

Action of vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) on amphibian adrenocortical function,in vitro

Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) is located in chromaffin cells of the frog adrenal gland and is able to stimulate corticosteroid secretion in amphibians. In the present study we have investigated the possible involvement of prostaglandins, microfilaments and calcium in the mechanism of action of VIP on frog adrenocortical tissue. Rana ridibunda interrenal dice were perifused with amphibian culture medium for more than 10 hours. Corticosterone and aldosterone concentrations were measured in the effluent perifusate using sensitive and specific radioimmunoassay methods. In the presence of indomethacin (5 μM), a specific blocker of prostaglandin biosynthesis, the spontaneous secretion of corticosteroids was markedly reduced (80%) but the stimulatory effect of VIP was not altered. The administration of the microfilament disrupting agent cytochalasin B (50 μM) inhibited both spontaneous and VIP-induced corticosteroid secretion. In the absence of calcium, the spontaneous level of corticosteroid was reduced to about 60% but VIP was still able to stimulate corticosteroid secretion. From these data we conclude that the integrity of the cytoskeleton is required for the secretory response of adrenocortical cells to VIP, whereas neither prostaglandins nor calcium are involved in VIP-induced adrenocortical stimulation.
