科学家研究发现心脏纤维化中EMT现象

最近，研究人员发现，心脏纤维化的过程中伴随着内皮细胞向成纤维细胞的转化，即所谓的EMT现象。值得一提的是，心脏在胚胎发育期间，房室瓣也会发生与之类似的EMT现象。

空肠弯曲菌的保存方法研究

空肠弯曲菌(Campylobacter jejuni)目前已被确认是重要的肠道致病菌之一。由于本菌生活力弱,易于死亡,不好保存,在一般常用的培养基上存活时间极短约3—5天,给实际工作造成不少困难,如何保存菌种是一个急待解决的问题。为了提供一种较好的保存空肠弯曲菌的方法,作者选用了五种培养基,比较观察了18株空肠弯曲菌保存在不同条件下的存话期及变异情况,其结果表明：用1、2号培养基的培养物保存若放置4一10℃冰箱,前者经130天,后者经80天其存活率均为100％;在保存210天时,两种培养基的     

传入C纤维的兴奋在中电针“足三里”激活中缝大核中的作用

The purpose of the present work is to study whether the analgesia of "Zusanli" EA was mainly produced by its noxious effect. The antidromic C waves on N. peroneus communis innervating the area of "Zusanli" point were recorded. When "Zusanli" point was stimulated by trains of stimuli, the amplitude of the antidromic C wave was obviously decreased due to collision with the orthodromic stimulation. It was suggested that EA of "Zusanli" could excite some C fibers. It was observed that when the stimulation intensity reached the threshold of C fiber, the NRM neurons were obviously activated, and when it reached or exceeded the intensity for producing the maximal C wave, the NRM neurons were highly activated. Therefore, EA analgesia is probably produced mainly by its noxious stimulus component, especially carried by C fibers, via a negative feedback mechanism in modulating pain.     

NIH／3T3，C-11细胞基因文库的构建以及成纤维蛋白质DNA片段克隆的分离

本文以λAGTl0为载体,用两种不同的方法建立了NIH／3T3,C-11细胞基因文库,所得重组子值分别为：6×10⁵pfu,2.5x10⁶pfu,1.8x10⁶Pfu,1.4×10⁶pfu均超过了建库要求的理论值。并且从C-11细胞基因文库中分离出成纤维蛋白质DNA片段克隆,使得这-DNA片段竞隆到PBR322质粒中。     

配体对(Na~++K~+)-ATP酶E_2→E_1转变的影响

 本研究确定了在0℃条件下,(Na~++K~+)-ATP酶纯化制备物与5mmol/L Na~+或Mg~(2+)在5mmol/L咪唑(pH7.4)环境中预保温30分钟,然后进行磷酸化,可以获得最高磷酸化水平,Na~+或Mg~(2+)的K_(0.5)值分别为0.29mmol/L或0.35mmol/L;以ADP代替Na~+和Mg~(2+)与酶预保温,对E_2向E_1转变无任何影响,而与Na~+、Mg~(2+)一起存在时则能加强Na~+及Mg~2的预保温效果。     

刺激隐神经中C类纤维诱发的小脑浦肯野细胞简单锋电位反应

用玻璃微电极记录了猫小脑浦肯野细胞的简单锋电位(PC-SS)。在标准化互协方差函数图中,PC-SS自发放电无明显波峰;弱刺激隐神经只引起A类纤维传入时,PC-SS出现A类诱发放电反应(A-CED),它包括潜伏期为16.7±0.9ms的早反应和270.8±12.8ms的晚反应。用极化电流选择性阻滞A类纤维传导后,强刺激只引起C类纤维单独传入时,出现潜伏期为142.4±4.3ms的C类诱发反应(C-CED)。强刺激同时引起A类和C类纤维传入时,只出现A-CED而不出现C-CED。按标准化功率谱密度函数分析,PC-SS自发放电可分为两种类型。一类为高峰型,最大能量峰值平均为15.7±4.7×10~(-3),峰频为4.07±1.67Hz;刺激A类纤维使峰值增大,而刺激C类纤维却使峰值减小。另一类为低峰型,峰值为8.4±1.4×10~(-3),峰频为3.67±2.90Hz。刺激A类和C类纤维均使峰值增大,前者增大更多,但峰频均无显著性变化。上述结果表明,C类纤维传入可以到达小脑浦肯野细胞,引起特异的PC-SS放电反应。     

猫体感皮层神经元对同时刺激隐神经的A类和C类纤维的反应型式

记录了麻痹猫的体感皮层(SI)神经元的自发和隐神经的A类和C类纤维传入诱发放电(A-ED和C-ED)。用NCCVF分析神经元放电。结果表明,SI区神经元对同时刺激隐神经的A类和C类纤维的反应呈多种型式:(1)A-ED和C-ED共存,包括Ⅰ.A-ED和C-ED始终相互伴随出现;Ⅱ.在刺激之初,只出现A-ED,但是,当阻断A类纤维传入并由C类纤维传入诱发神经元放电后,再同时刺激A类和C类纤维时,A-ED和C-ED便同时出现。(2)A-ED制约C-ED,特点是,只要A-ED存在,C/ED就不出现。只有阻断A类纤维传入后,C-ED才产生。(3)单一A-ED,不管在什么刺激条件下,这类神经元都只有A-ED,而不产生C-ED 结论:根据反应型式的不同,可将SI区的神经元分为Ⅰ.A类和C类纤维传入同时驱动的神经元;Ⅱ.A-ED制约C-ED的神经元;Ⅲ.只由A类纤维传入驱动的神经元。     

室旁核在剌激猫肾神经传入纤维引起的血压效应中的应用

The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus (PVN) and alpha 1 adrenergic receptor of PVN in the pressor responses to stimulation of renal afferent nerve in alpha 1-chloralose-anesthetized cats with carotid sinoaortic denervation and vagotomy. The pressor response to stimulation of renal afferent nerve consisted of a primary and a second components. The primary component response was completely blocked while the second component was not blocked by autonomic blocking agents (hexomethonium and atropine). Bilateral lesions of PVN greatly attenuated the pressor response before and after autonomic blockade. Intracerebroventricular and PVN injection alpha 1, adrenergic antagonist (prazosin) significantly decreased in the pressor response to stimulation of renal afferent nerve. These results indicate that paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus and alpha 1 adrenergic receptors in central nervous system, especially in PVN, play an important role in the pressor responses to stimulation of renal afferent nerve.
