尾壳核内注射脑啡肽和bestatin对大鼠操作式条件...

Female Wistar rats were trained in a Skinner-box, 30 trials per day in a dark room to establish operant defence conditioning. Training started with a light (15 s), then combined with footshock for further 8 s. When the rats learned to press the key to avoid footshock within 15 s, conditioned response was considered established. After the rats reached a conditioning rate (CR) above 80% for 5 days, cannulae were implanted into caudate-putamen. Two to three days later, Met-enkephalin (MEK) or bestatin (an aminopeptidase inhibitor) was injected bilaterally into caudate-putamen. 30 min, 2 h, 24 h and 48 h after injection, conditioning tests were conducted, with each session consisting of 30 trials. Control experiments were done when 0.9% NaCl (NS) was injected. After injection of NS, CR maintained above 80% in all 4 test sessions. MEK (60 ng/rat) or bestatin (10 micrograms/rat) significantly lowered the CR during the 30 min and 2 h test session. In the latter case, the latency (L) was also prolonged. However both CR and L returned to the control level in the 24 h and 48 h test sessions. Naloxone (2 mg/kg, i.p.) blocked the conditioning-depression effect of bestatin. No significant alteration was seen in locomotor activity after MEK or bestatin injection. The results suggest that enkephalin in caudate-putamen may be involved in the regulation of retrieval of conditioning. Bestatin mimics the effect of MEK on conditioning reflex probably by increasing production of endogenous enkephalin.     

电刺激大鼠尾核头部镇痛的中枢效应—[^3H]—2脱氧...

Sokoloff's 2-deoxyglucose (2-DG) autoradiographic technique was used to identify changes of glucose metabolic rate in the rat brain following unilateral stimulation of the head of the caudate nucleus. The results were as follows. The local glucose metabolic rate after noxious stimulation was increased in the somatosensory cortex, cingulate cortex, ventroposterior and parafascicular nucleus of the thalamus, septal area, habenular nucleus, head of caudate nucleus, periaqueductal gray (PAG) and dorsal raphe nucleus (P < 0.05). After stimulating the head of the caudate nucleus, the local glucose metabolic rate of nucleus raphe magnus (rm) and nucleus paragigantocellularis (pgcl) was increased significantly and that of the PAG and dorsal raphe nucleus had a tendency to increase, while stimulation of the head of caudate nucleus could partially abolish the increased glucose metabolic rate in the somatosensory cortex, cingulate cortex, ventroposterior and parafascicular nucleus of the thalamus, septal area and habenular nucleus as induced by noxious stimulation. These results suggest that caudate stimulation is able to depress the activation of some brain structures related to nociception and to activate those related to antinociception. The pgcl, rm, PAG and dorsal raphe nucleus might be the key structures participating in the caudate stimulation produced analgesia.     

下丘脑室旁核加压素能神经元参与电针刺激对实验性内脏痛的抑制

本实验采用内脏痛的实验模型,探讨室旁核中的加压素在针刺抑制内脏痛中的作用。实验结果如下:(1)大鼠在在射酒石酸锑钾(0.1％,10ml/kg,i.p.)后,出现可定量的扭体反应,能作为观察内脏痛的客观指标。(2)电针对内脏痛有抑制效应,即具有镇痛作用。(3)电刺激室旁核,能加强电针对内脏痛的抑制效应,损毁室旁核,则此抑制效应基本消失。(4)脑室注射加压素抗血清(14μl)或加压素拮抗剂[d(CH_2)_5Tyr(Me)-AVP,500ng/5μl]都能明显减弱电针的抑制效应。(5)腹腔注射加压素拮抗剂(10μg/kg),不能翻转电针的抑制效应。上述实验结果表明,下丘脑室旁核的加压素能神经元参与了电针刺激对实验性内脏痛的抑制。     

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。     

烟青虫感染核型多角体病毒后围食膜的病变

昆虫的围食膜是衬在昆虫中肠内一种网状的结构,它可充作虫体抵御外来病原侵染的一道屏障。关于鳞翅目昆虫幼虫感染了昆虫病毒后围食膜的病变问题,国内外鲜有报道。尤锡镇和康慧娟(1985)曾以实验证明家蚕围食膜对核型多角体病毒有灭活作用,而且认为核型多角体病毒不能侵染和破坏围食膜。Derksen和Granados(1988)则证明染病幼虫的围食膜因不同杆状病毒(包括两种核型多角体病     

易动瘦尾虫的形态和核器二分裂过程

研究发现了易动瘦尾虫体腹面边缘各有缘棘毛一排,在各排缘棘毛的边上,又各有两排排列比缘棘毛疏松的棘毛,及它背面中央尚有一列背触毛。该虫是腹毛类纤毛虫中一种进化比较低等的类型,但其大、小核已明显分化。大核共进行了4次无丝分裂,小核共进行了3次分裂。     

大蒜对环磷酰胺诱发的小鼠骨髓细胞微核和姊妹染色单体交换的保护作用

本文以小鼠骨髓嗜多染红细胞的微核率和小鼠骨髓细胞姊妹染色单体交换(SCE)率两个指标,测定大蒜匀浆滤液(GJ)对环磷酰胺(CP)诱变作用的影响。结果表明,用GJ灌胃处理小鼠能降低CP(30mg/kg)诱发的微核率,差异极显著(P<0.01)。用GJ处理小鼠,除了CP高剂量(30mg/kg)外,CP中和低剂量(3mg/kg和0.3mg/kg)所诱发的SCE率均受到抑制,有显著性差异(P<0.05)。表明大蒜有较强的抗诱变能力,具修复染色体损伤和DNA错误复制的功能。
