促胰液素对血管灌流大鼠离体胃运动的抑制作用

本工作采用血管灌流大鼠离体胃制备,探讨促胰液素对胃运动的影响。结果表明:(1)促胰液素能明显抑制胃窦自发和五肽胃泌素兴奋的胃运动;(2)抗促胰液素血清可完全取消促胰液素的抑制胃窦运动作用;(3)抗生长抑素血清和消炎痛都能阻断促胰液素的抑制胃窦运动作用。上述结果提示,促胰液素的抑制作用除通过直接作用于促胰液素受体外,还可能部分通过胃窦局部生长抑素和前列腺素介导来抑制胃的运动。     

纸坊病病毒病因的研究

1985年4～10月与1986年6～8月,在贵州省沿河县的纸坊村和崔家坨村先后发生了病因不明的传染病。纸坊村约有1/5的村民发病,病死率为12％,崔家坨村有1/10的村民发病,病死率高达30％。发病波及各年龄组,以青壮年为多,有家庭集聚现象。 本病起病急,轻症者只有头晕、乏力、肌痛、多汗、心悸伴以低热,有的初期有短暂的腹泻。重症者有高热(40℃以上)、大汗、心悸、游走性肌肉痉挛伴有明显疼痛和触痛,以腰骶部及四肢肌肉为好发部位。病人烦燥不安,2～5天内死亡。经实验室检查,排除了食物中毒、农药中毒、钩端螺旋体病和弓形体感染。从病人和接触者的粪便中分离到9株病毒,性状一致,为RNA型25nm的球形颗粒,耐酸,耐乙醚,能凝集人“O”型血球。经血清学鉴定为ECHO3型病毒。16份病人双份血清的检测结果表明,恢复期血清对该病毒中和抗体有4倍以上升高者共8例(纸坊村和崔家坨各4例)。病人单份血清也都有较高的抗体。有理由认为两年中先后在两个村庄发生的传染病与ECHO3型病毒有密切关系。查阅文献,尚未见有关ECHO3型病毒引起以肌痛、游走性肌痉挛为特征的疾病的报道。     

四氯化碳中毒对大鼠离体再生肝细胞钾离子外漏的影响

本工作用三种剂量四氯化碳(CCl_4,10,15和20mmol/L)损伤正常大鼠离体肝细胞,分别在5,10,15和20min测定细胞内K~+和GPT漏出量。实验观察到细胞内K~+和GPT漏出量与CCl_4染毒的剂量和时间有明显关系,而且K~+漏出量较GPT更能灵敏地反映细胞的损伤程度;用中等剂量CCl_4(15mmol/L)损伤离体再生肝细胞20min后,细胞内K~+漏出的变化百分数明显低于正常肝细胞。这些结果表明,大鼠离体再生肝细胞具有较强的抗CCl_4损伤作用,其机制可能与再生肝细胞膜稳定性较强有关。     

Isolation of third, fourth, and fifth instar larval midgut epithelia of the moth, Trichoplusia ni

A new tissue isolation technique was used to create intact midgut epithelial wholemounts from three Trichoplusia ni (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) larval instars. The protease, dispase, removed the basal lamina and associated connective tissue and allowed for high resolution light microscopy of entire epithelia. Columnar, goblet, differentiating, and stem cells were characterized by double fluorescent labelling of f-actin and nuclei. A comparison of cell populations by digital image analysis revealed significant regional and temporal changes in the density and number of differentiating and stem cells. Growth of the midgut epithelium from third to fourth instar, and from fourth to fifth instar, was accomplished by both cell differentiation and cell division. Cell division however, was greatly reduced from fourth to fifth instar with a concomitant sharp decrease in the stem cell population.     

大鼠离体乳头肌收缩末期张力—长度关系的曲线性

大鼠离体左室乳头肌固定于最适初长位,逐步递减“后荷”获得一系列等张收缩的张力、长度缩短程度和速度。结果发现:(1)收缩末期张力-长度关系(ESTLR)为指数曲线,回归方程 T=ar~(-bL)-K 拟合的优度明显高于线性方程拟合的优度(P<0.001),其中 a,k 分别代表总张力和静息张力,b 为曲线的弯曲度;(2)在高钙(4mmol/L)或去甲肾上腺素(NE10~(-6)mol/L)作用下,ESTLR 右上移位,a,b 和无张力缩短速度 L_O 均增大(P均<0.01),尤以高钙时的变化更明显,(3)NE 使张力-速度曲线的右上移位比高钙显著。这提示大鼠离体心肌的 ESTLR 呈非线性特征,参数 a,b 及长度轴截距 L_O 对收缩强度的变化敏感,但对收缩速度改变的敏感性可能比经典的力学指标低。     

Evidence for the involvement of a UDP-glucose-dependent group translocator in sucrose uptake into vacuoles of storage roots of red beet

Vacuoles isolated from the storage roots of red beet (Beta vulgaris L.) accumulate sucrose via two different mechanisms. One mechanism transports sucrose directly, and its rate is increased by the addition of MgATP. The other mechanism utilizes uridine diphosphate glucose (UDP-glucose) to synthesize and simultaneously transport sucrose phosphate and sucrose into the vacuole. This group translocation mechanism has also been found in sugarcane vacuoles. As in sugarcane, the beet group translocator does not require fructose 6-phosphate, nor is the latter substance transported into the vacuole. The uptake of UDP[¹⁴C]glucose in inhibited by high concentrations of osmoticum.Abbreviations EDTA ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid - Hepes 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazineethanesulfonic acid - UDP uridine 5-diphosphate     

Titration of the binding sites for the oligomycin-sensitivity conferring protein in beef heart submitochondrial particles

The binding parameters of the oligomycin-sensitivity conferring protein (OSCP) in inside-out particles from beef heart mitochondria have been tested by means of two assays, the oligomycin-sensitive ATP-Pi exchange, and the oligomycin-sensitive ATP hydrolysis. The total number of OSCP binding sites in A particles was equal to 220 pmol/mg particle protein. Each mole of ATPase active site was able to bind 1.1 +/- 0.5 mol OSCP with Kd 1.7 nM.     

强啡肽抑制离体血管收缩效应的机制

用离体血管电场刺激收缩模型观察到强啡肽明显抑制电场刺激引起的兔耳中心动脉及兔肠系膜上动脉的收缩效应,且呈剂量反应关系,而对股动脉的电场刺激收缩反应无明显影响,强啡肽抑制血管收缩达50％时的用量(IC_(50)值)分别为8.5±1.2×10~(-6)mol/L、5.02±1.3×10~(-7)mol/L及>10~(-6)mol/L。 用药物分析法看到,酚妥拉明(10~(-6)mol/L)可取消电场刺激及去甲肾上腺素引起的血管收缩作用,而强啡肽仅抑制电场刺激致血管收缩作用。 用HPLC法测定孵育液中去甲肾上腺素的含量变化时看到,应用强啡肽(5×10~(-7)mol/L)后孵育液中去甲肾上腺素的含量从对照组的340.56±73.13pg/ml下降至67.91±10.26pg/ml,两组差别有极显著意义(P<0.01)。纳洛酮(10~(-6)mol/L)可完全拮抗强啡肽的这一抑制效应。 以上结果提示强啡肽可能通过抑制交感神经末梢释放去甲肾上腺素,从而产生抑制血管的收缩作用。     

Characterisation of chloride transport at the tonoplast of higher plants using a chloride-sensitive fluorescent probe

The characteristics of Cl^– transport in isolated tonoplast vesicles from red-beet (Beta vulgaris L.) storage tissue have been investigated using the Cl^–-sensitive fluorescent probe, 6-methoxy-1-(3-sulfonatopropyl)-quinolinium (SPQ). The imposition of (inside) positive diffusion potentials, generated with K⁺ and valinomycin, increased the initial rate of Cl^– transport, demonstrating that Cl^– could be electrically driven into the vesicles. Chloride influx was unaffected by SO ₄ ^2- , but was competitively blocked by NO ₃ ^– , indicating that both Cl^– and NO ₃ ^– may be transported by the same porter. In some preparations, increases in free-Ca²⁺ concentration from 10^–8 to 10^–5 mol·dm^–3 caused a significant decrease in Cl^– influx, which may indicate that cytosolic Ca²⁺ concentration has a role in controlling Cl^– fluxes at the tonoplast. However, this effect was only seen in about 50% of membrane preparations and some doubt remains over its physiological significance. A range of compounds known to block anion transport in other systems was tested, and some partially blocked Cl^– transport. However, many of these inhibitors interfered with SPQ fluorescence and so only irreversible effects could be tested. The results are discussed in the context of recent advances made using the patch-clamp technique on isolated vacuoles.Abbreviations and Symbols BTP 1,3-bis[tris(hydroxymethyl)-methylamino]propane - DTT dithiothreitol - EDTA ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid - membrane potential - pH pH gradient - SPQ 6-methoxy-1-(3-sulfonatopropyl)quinolinium - Tricine N-[2-hydroxy-1,1-bis(hydroxymethyl)ethyl] glycine
