The bioavailability of oral and intravenous cimetidine and ranitidine was studied in patients with compensated liver cirrhosis. Single doses of 200 and 400 mg cimetidine were used for both administration routes, while ranitidine was administered in doses of 150 mg orally or 50 mg i.v. Plasma concentrations and urinary recovery were determined by the HPLC method. The pharmacokinetics of both of these drugs in the cirrhotic patients did not differ from those found in normal subjects. The two doses of cimetidine given i.v. gave rise to the same plasma concentrations, while after oral administration, 400 mg produced higher plasma concentrations than 200 mg. As to the pharmacokinetic parameters, neither cimetidine nor ranitidine administered i.v. offered any further advantages compared to the oral route. The urinary recovery of both cimetidine and ranitidine was higher after intravenous than after oral administration. It is concluded therefore that the pharmacokinetics of cimetidine and ranitidine is not altered in compensated liver cirrhosis. 相似文献

Wilms’ tumor gene 1 (WT1) plays complex roles in tumorigenesis, acting as tumor suppressor gene or an oncogene depending on the cellular context. WT1 expression has been variably reported in both benign and malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNSTs) by means of immunohistochemistry. The aim of the present study was to characterize its potential pathogenetic role in these relatively uncommon malignant tumors. Firstly, immunohistochemical analyses in MPNST sNF96.2 cell line showed strong WT1 staining in nuclear and perinuclear areas of neoplastic cells. Thus, we investigated the effects of silencing WT1 by RNA interference. Through Western Blot analysis and proliferation assay we found that WT1 knockdown leads to the reduction of cell growth in a time- and dose-dependent manner. siWT1 inhibited proliferation of sNF96.2 cell lines likely by influencing cell cycle progression through a decrease in the protein levels of cyclin D1 and inhibition of Akt phosphorylation compared to the control cells. These results indicate that WT1 knockdown attenuates the biological behavior of MPNST cells by decreasing Akt activity, demonstrating that WT1 is involved in the development and progression of MPNSTs. Thus, WT1 is suggested to serve as a potential therapeutic target for MPNSTs. 相似文献

We have explored the role of calmodulin in plasma membrane-related phenomena in lymphocyte activation by measurement of [125I]calmodulin binding to highly purified plasma membrane of human peripheral blood lymphocytes. Calcium-dependent calmodulin binding to lymphocyte membrane was found to reach equilibrium within 5 min of incubation at 37 degrees C and to be saturable and specific. A single class of high affinity-binding sites was identified, with a dissociation constant (Kd) of 1 to 3 X 10(-8) M and a total binding capacity (Bt) of 1 to 2 pmol/mg membrane protein. The free calcium concentration necessary for half-maximal binding was 100 to 300 nM. This was strikingly similar to the cytoplasmic-free calcium activity [Ca2+]i measured by the Quin-2 fluorescence technique, particularly after stimulation with phytomitogens. Calmodulin binding was inhibitable by trifluoperazine (TFP), W-7, and chloropramazine, all of which are calmodulin antagonists. The concentration of TFP that caused 50% inhibition of lymphocyte proliferative responses to phytomitogens was found to be identical to the concentration of TFP which causes 50% inhibition of calmodulin binding to lymphocyte plasma membrane. SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis followed by gel overlay and autoradiography with iodinated calmodulin revealed five calcium-dependent, TFP-inhibitable, calmodulin-binding polypeptides. 相似文献

Serum immunoglobulins levels after surgery with and without anaesthesia are reported. No significant change was found after surgery without anaesthesia; significant changes of serum Ig (A,G,M) were observed in surgery with anaesthesia (60-180 m') group on day 1 following operation. This Ig decrease is probably due to a reduced immunologic response by long anaesthesia. 相似文献

Tissue distribution, purification and characterization of rat phosphatidylinositol transfer protein 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Phosphatidylinositol transfer activity is measured in cytosol fractions prepared from 13 rat tissues; specific activity is highest in brain and lowest in adipose and skeletal muscle. Based upon electrophoretic analysis phosphatidylinositol transfer protein is purified to homogeneity from whole rat brain. The protein has a molecular weight of 36,000 and exists as a mixture of species having isoelectric points of 4.9 and 5.3. In a vesicle-vesicle assay system, the intermembrane transfer rate is greatest for phosphatidylinositol and less by a factor of 2 for phosphatidylcholine; transfer of phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylserine or sphingomyelin is not observed. Using a polyclonal rabbit antibody against bovine phosphatidylinositol transfer protein, immunologic cross-reactivity is noted between the rat protein and other mammalian phosphatidylinositol transfer proteins. A strong correlation is established between a tissue's capacity for phosphatidylinositol transfer and the amount of immunoreactive transfer protein seen in that tissue. Purified phosphatidylinositol transfer protein is capable of transporting newly synthesized phosphatidylinositol molecules from rat brain microsomes to small unilamellar phospholipid vesicles. The results are discussed within the context of cellular phosphoinositide metabolism and the maintenance of the metabolically responsive pool of phosphatidylinositol in the plasma membrane. 相似文献

One of the consequences of extensive mindfulness practice is a reduction of anxiety and depression, but also a capacity to regulate negative emotions. In this study, we explored four key questions concerning mindfulness training: (1) What are the processes by which mindfulness regulates our emotions? (2) Can mindfulness be applied to social emotions? (3) Does mindfulness training affect emotionally driven behavior towards others? (4) Does mindfulness alter physiological reactivity? To address these questions, we tested, in two experiments, the ability of mindfulness meditators to regulate interpersonal emotions (Experiment 1) and interactive behaviors (Experiment 2) as compared to naïve controls. To better understand the mechanisms by which mindfulness regulates emotions, we asked participants to apply two strategies: a cognitive strategy (mentalizing, a form of reappraisal focused on the intentions of others) and an experiential strategy derived from mindfulness principles (mindful detachment). Both groups were able to regulate interpersonal emotions by means of cognitive (mentalizing) and experiential (mindful detachment) strategies. In Experiment 1, a simple effect of meditation, independent from the implementation of the strategies, resulted in reduced emotional and physiological reactivity, as well as in increased pleasantness for meditators when compared to controls, providing evidence of baseline regulation. In Experiment 2, one visible effect of the strategy was that meditators outperformed controls in the experiential (mindful detachment) but not in the cognitive (mentalize) strategy, showing stronger modulation of their interactive behavior (less punishments) and providing evidence of a strategic behavioral regulation. Based on these results, we suggest that mindfulness can influence interpersonal emotional reactions through an experiential mechanism, both at a baseline level and a strategic level, thereby altering the subjective and physiological perception of emotions, but also biasing interactive social behavior. 相似文献

Human infants'' complete dependence on adult caregiving suggests that mechanisms associated with adult responsiveness to infant cues might be deeply embedded in the brain. Behavioural and neuroimaging research has produced converging evidence for adults'' positive disposition to infant cues, but these studies have not investigated directly the valence of adults'' reactions, how they are moderated by biological and social factors, and if they relate to child caregiving. This study examines implicit affective responses of 90 adults toward faces of human and non-human (cats and dogs) infants and adults. Implicit reactions were assessed with Single Category Implicit Association Tests, and reports of childrearing behaviours were assessed by the Parental Style Questionnaire. The results showed that human infant faces represent highly biologically relevant stimuli that capture attention and are implicitly associated with positive emotions. This reaction holds independent of gender and parenthood status and is associated with ideal parenting behaviors. 相似文献

An increased carbon flux and exploitation of metabolic pathways for the rapid generation of biosynthetic precursors is a common phenotype observed in breast cancer. To support this metabolic phenotype, cancer cells adaptively regulate the expression of glycolytic enzymes and nutrient transporters. However, activity of several enzymes involved in glucose metabolism requires an adequate supply of cofactors. In particular, vitamin B1 (thiamine) is utilized as an essential cofactor for metabolic enzymes that intersect at critical junctions within the glycolytic network. Intracellular availability of thiamine is facilitated by the activity of thiamine transporters and thiamine pyrophosphokinase-1 (TPK-1). Therefore, the objective of this study was to establish if the cellular determinants regulating thiamine homeostasis differ between breast cancer and normal breast epithelia. Employing cDNA arrays of breast cancer and normal breast epithelial tissues, SLC19A2, SLC25A19 and TPK-1 were found to be significantly up-regulated. Similarly, up-regulation was also observed in breast cancer cell lines compared to human mammary epithelial cells. Thiamine transport assays and quantitation of intracellular thiamine and thiamine pyrophosphate established a significantly greater extent of thiamine transport and free thiamine levels in breast cancer cell lines compared to human mammary epithelial cells. Overall, these findings demonstrate an adaptive response by breast cancer cells to increase cellular availability of thiamine. 相似文献
