锌和铜在生长抑素对链佐霉素引起的胰岛B细胞损伤的保护中的作用

我们以前的工作指出,生长抑素可以预防链佐霉素对大鼠胰岛B细胞的损伤。本工作测定给药前后大鼠血清和组织中Zn、Cu含量,以进一步观察链佐霉素破坏大鼠胰岛B细胞后生长抑素预防效应的可能机制。结果为:链佐霉素(STZ)(35mg/kg,ip)注射后24h的大鼠,血清Zn浓度下降,Cu浓度升高,Zn/Cu比值倒置;用生长抑素作预防性注射后,血清Zn浓度与正常对照水平相同,Cu浓度虽稍有升高,但Zn/Cu比值正常。保护组的血清Zn与损伤组比较,差异极为显著。两组的Zn/Cu比值同样也具有显著差异。在给药后72h,血清Zn/Cu比值在各组之间仍呈上述关系,但差异减小。在大鼠胰腺,注射链佐霉素后胰腺组织Zn浓度未见改变,但生长抑素作预防性注射可使组织锌含量增加。上述结果提示,在生长抑素对胰岛B细胞的保护机制中可能有Zn和Cu的参与。预防性注射生长抑素所引起的高Zn状态可能有利于机体细胞含Zn酶类的活性,增强已损伤细胞的修复。     

躯体和内脏传入冲动在大鼠束旁核内的会聚

在麻痹的大鼠上,分别刺激迷走神经、内脏大神经、坐骨神经、腓肠神经、睾丸和副睾,在对侧丘脑束旁核记录到了45个细胞的单位放电。根据诱发反应的潜伏期、时程和放电频谱分布的不同,可将他们分为五种类型,并且认为这些类型和刺激引起的感觉性质有关。在观察到的45单位中,29个的反应具有痛放电的特性,而且对躯体及内脏的传入冲动呈聚合性反应。其中2个单位只对内脏传入冲动产生反应。这项研究的结果表明,束旁核不仅是接受内脏传入的丘脑结构,而且也是一个整合内脏与躯体传入信息的中枢。     

DNA homology of α-globin gene among five races of carp, Cyprinus carpio

Common DNA fragments of the α-globin gene were observed in five races of adult common carp: mirror, scaly-German, Yamato-Suwa, Yamato-Saku, and Yamato-hybrid carp. There were different hybridization patterns between the Japanese carp and the German carp. Three to four DNA fragments hybridized with α-globin and indicated polymorphysim in the globin gene of carp.

Zusammenfassung

DNA-Homologie des α-Globin-Genes bei fünf Karpfenrassen, Cyprinus carpio
Identische Fragmente des α-Globin-Genes wurden bei fünf Rassen des adulten gemeinen Karpfens (Spiegeikarpfen, deutscher Schuppenkarpfen, Yamato-Suwa-, Yamato-Saku-und Yamato-Hybrid-karpfen) gefunden. Es gab verschiedene Hybridisationsmuster zwischen dem japanischen und dem deutschen Karpfen. Drei bis vier DNA-Fragmente hybridisierten mit α-Globin und wiesen auf einen Polymorphismus des Globingenes des Karpfens hin.

Résumé

Homologie de DNA dans le gène d'α-globine chez cinq races de carpe, Cyprinus carpio
Des fragments communs de DNA dans des gènes d'α-globine ont été observés chez cinq races de carpe commune adulte: carpe miroir, allemande écailleuse, Yamato-Suwa, Yamato-Saku et Yamato-hybride. Il existait différentes combinaisons d'hybridation entre la carpe allemande et la carpe japonaise.

Stroke and coronary heart disease in mild hypertension: risk factors and the value of treatment

Further analyses of the Medical Research Council''s trial of drug treatment of mild hypertension were carried out to provide more detailed information on the benefits associated with treatment in various subgroups. The four main considerations in establishing a rational treatment policy were, firstly, the significant reduction in the stroke rate with active treatment; secondly, the absence of a significant overall treatment effect on myocardial infarction; thirdly, the knowledge that of 100 untreated men in the highest risk group (those aged 55-64 with high systolic pressure at entry who smoked), five would be expected to suffer a stroke and 10 a coronary event within five years; and, fourthly, the cost, in clinical and financial terms, of prolonged treatment. In the high risk group of 100 men treatment with bendrofluazide would result in the prevention of three or four of the five strokes but would have little effect on the expected numbers of myocardial infarctions. Treatment with propranolol in non-smoking men in the highest age and blood pressure categories would lead to a reduction in the number having strokes from three to one or two and might possibly reduce the number experiencing myocardial infarction from seven to four. Smokers treated with propranolol would not be expected to benefit. In women avoiding smoking was particularly important. The considerations for preventing stroke were similar to those in men, but no clear guideline was possible on the effect of lowering blood pressure for preventing myocardial infarction in women.Drug treatment reduces the attack rate of certain events in mild hypertension but should not be prescribed routinely for all patients with the disorder.     

自发性高血压大鼠血管α1肾上腺素受体亚型的改变

本工作在离体与整体条件下比较易卒中型自发性高血压(SHRSP)大鼠与WKY大鼠血管中α_1受体的两种亚型。在离体灌流的主动脉、肾动脉与肠系膜动脉,50μmol/L氯甲基可乐定(CEC)预温育30min可使α_1受体激动时引起的最大收缩张力在SHRSP与WKY大鼠分别降为对照时的31.4±8.3％与35.2±2.9％,68.4±8.2％与80.1±7.3％,68.4±6.3％与55.4±7.0％,两者间均无显著性差别。但10μmol/L硝苯吡啶对α_1受体收缩效应的阻断作用则在SHRSP大鼠大大超过WKY大鼠,最大收缩张力分别降为对照时的3.1±1.5％与56.5±4.8％(P<0.01),9.0±4.1％与23.6±3.5％(P<0.05),5.9±2.5％与28.0±0.8％(P<0.01)。整体动物实验也显示硝苯吡啶的降血压作用及对苯肾上腺素升血压效应的阻断作用在SHRSP大鼠都较WKY大鼠显著增强。离体主动脉a_1受体激动时的快速相与持续相收缩均主要由α_(1B)亚型激动引起,硝苯吡啶对快速相收缩的阻断作用在SHRSP与WKY大鼠无显著性差别,但对持续相收缩的阻断作用则在SHRSP大鼠显著强于WKY大鼠。上述结果提示SHRSP大鼠血管α_1受体两种亚型的分布没有显著改变,但α_(1B)受体激动时继发性细胞外Ca~(2+)进入的途径由非双氢吡啶敏感性钙通道转变为双氢吡啶敏感性钙通道。     

NMDA受体在海马CA_3区习得性LTP保持中的作用

在大鼠明暗分辨学习的建立和巩固过程中,通过与记录电极一起慢性埋植于海马CA_3区的注药管微量注射NMDA受体的特异性拮抗剂2-amino-5-phosphonovaleric acid(APV),观察对海马CA_3区突触效应及与之相关的习得性行为的影响。结果如下:(1)在动物经训练PS峰幅值刚增大至最高水平后,即在习得性LTP刚好形成后,每实验单元先于CA_3区注射AFV 1μl(2mmol/L),然后在药物有效作用时间内再进行训练,则PS峰值不能随训练而保持在最高水平,相反经8个实验单元,PS峰值降至实验前水平;相应地动物的正确反应率不能随训练而巩固,反而下降至10％以下。(2)在动物习得性LTP已形成并经一单元训练PS保持在最高水平后,于每实验单元训练前注射APV 1μl(2mmol/L),PS峰值同样不会随训练而保持在最高水平,经14个实验单元注药和训练,PS峰值逐渐降至实验前水平,相应地动物行为的正确反应率也降至10％以下,习得性行为消退,不过其消退速度比前一情况的动物为慢,说明习得性LTP发展情况不同,APV的作用效率有差别。结果表明:NMDA受体在习得性LTP的巩固中起着重要作用。

松辽盆地白垩纪微体浮游植物群及其环境讨论

该文报道了松辽盆地白垩纪丰富的非海相微体浮游植物群,主要是沟鞭藻类及一些绿藻和疑源类;论述了藻类的生物地层特征,自下而上初步划分出10个组合带;结合微量元素和古地磁等资料,较详细地讨论了含微体浮游植物组段的沉积环境,认为松辽盆地在白垩纪至少遭受过两次重要的海侵(分别在青山口组一段及嫩江组一、二段沉积时期),导致古松辽湖泊五种不同水体环境的演替,指出微体浮游植物组合的变化是受古盐度、古温度和古水深等因素控制的。此外,对有关组段的地质时代也进行了讨论,进一步补充了新的浮游植物化石证据。
