狗小肠部分切除对移行性综合肌电的影响

将9只狗的小肠总长度的30％,50％及75％的上端分别切除,观察其对移行性综合肌电(MMC)发生规律和红霉素诱发MMCⅢ相的影响。结果发现,所有小肠部分切除的狗,残余小肠的慢波节律均较小肠完整时相应部位明显减慢;75％上端小肠切除的狗,MMC活动消失。小肠完整的狗,静脉注射红霉素均能使MMCⅢ相提前发生;30％上端小肠切除的狗,红霉素仅在一半的实验中可诱发MMCⅢ相,50％及75％上端切除后,红霉素不能诱发MMCⅢ相。但静脉注射吗啡后在所有动物模型上均能诱发MMCⅢ相。提示小肠MMC的周期活动需要空肠以上小肠的存在,红霉素仅在小肠上端能诱发MMCⅢ相。

IN VIVO EFFECTS OF AMPHETAMINE ON METABOLITES AND METABOLIC RATE IN BRAIN

—The concentrations of several metabolites, including glucose, glycogen, glucose-6-phosphate, lactate, ATP and phosphocreatine have been measured in the brains of mice rapidly frozen at various intervals after the intraperitoneal injection of d -amphetamine sulphate (5 mg/kg). During the initial 30 min following injection, amphetamine induced a fall in cerebral glycogen and phosphocreatine and an elevation of lactate. Changes in glucose and brain/blood glucose ratios were less marked over this period. The metabolite levels returned to control values at 60 min. The cerebral metabolic rate calculated by the ‘closed system’ technique also showed a biphasic change. An initial depression of energy flux over the first 15 min following amphetamine injection was followed by an increase that appeared to be closely associated with the increase in locomotor activity over this period. The results have been discussed in relation to the known catecholamine-releasing action of amphetamine, and differential effects on glial cells and neurons have been proposed.     

THE EFFECTS OF SECRETAGOGUES ON THE INCORPORATION OF [2-3H]MYOINOSITOL INTO LIPID IN CYTOLOGICAL FRACTIONS IN THE PANCREAS OF THE GUINEA PIG IN VIVO

Stimulation of enzyme secretion in the pancreas on injection of a single dose of the cholinergic drug, pilocarpine, was associated with an increased incorporation of [2-³H]myoinositol into a lipid, which was previously characterized as phosphatidylinositol. Stimulation of enzyme secretion by hourly injection of the pancreozymin congener, caerulein, led to more increased phosphatidylinositol synthesis than with a single injection of pilocarpine. The amylase level of the pancreas remained at a low level as long as caerulein was injected, indicating continued stimulation of enzyme secretion even though increased phosphatidylinositol synthesis ceased after 6 h. Feeding gave the same stimulation of phosphatidylinositol synthesis as caerulein. The major synthesis of phosphatidylinositol in controls and the stimulation of phosphatidylinositol synthesis by pilocarpine was entirely confined to the microsome fraction throughout the experiments (up to 18 h). This shows that there is no flow of microsomal membrane (smooth- or rough-surfaced endoplasmic reticulum) to other membranous structures throughout the secretory cycle and beyond. It is concluded that the stimulation of phosphatidylinositol synthesis by pancreatic secretagogues is confined to microsomal elements and does not play any role in membrane flow.

THE EFFECT OF METHYL CCNU (NSC-95441) ON THE CELLULAR KINETICS OF NORMAL AND LEUKEMIC MURINE TISSUES IN VIVO

The effect of MeCCNU on the cellular kinetics of normal and leukemic murine tissues is examined in vivo . A prolongation in the S phase is noted after doses of MeCCNU as low as 4 mg/kg, and this prolongation persists for approximately 4 hr after the dose. No persistent alteration in the growth fraction is produced by MeCCNU. The generation time of the cells regrowing after MeCCNU is slightly prolonged, compared to normal L1210 leukemia. Simultaneous studies on ascites tumor, normal bone marrow, and normal gastrointestinal mucosa, using the in vivo uptake of ³H-thymidine into DNA, have shown a differential effect on the tumor and normal tissues.     

微波照射对大鼠在体海马诱发电位长时程增强的影响

海马诱发电位长时程增强现象（Long- term potentiatio,LTP),常被用来研究与突触可塑性密切相关的学习与记忆过程的分子机制。为了研究微波照射对海马突触可塑性的影响,采用海马齿状回诱发电位的群峰电位幅度（the amplitude of population spikes ,PS amplitude)和群体兴奋性突触后电位的始终上升斜率（the initial slope of the population excitatory postsynaptic potentials,pEPSP slope)两个观察指标。观察10mW/cm^2,15mW/cm^2和25mW/cm^2三个强度,2450MHz微波照射对乌拦坦麻醉在大鼠在体海马齿状回诱发电位和LTP的影响。结果表明,每天1小时,连续7天的慢性连续型2450MHz微波照射阻碍麻醉大鼠在体海马齿状回LTP的产生,并使LTP的幅度减小。提示 微波照射造成学习记忆的损害,可能是通过阻碍海马LTP的产生来实现的。     

EFFECTS OF GAMMA-HYDROXYBUTYRIC ACID AND OTHER HYPNOTICS ON GLUCOSE UPTAKE IN VIVO AND IN VITRO

Abstract— (1) The effects of gamma-hydroxybutyrate, imidazole-4-acetic acid and pento-barbitone on mouse brain glucose, glycogen and lactate levels have been studied. All the drugs significantly increased the brain glucose content, but did not significantly alter brain glycogen levels. The increase in brain glucose following imidazole-4-acetic acid or hypnotic doses of pentobarbitone was matched by corresponding decreases in the lactate level; this was not the case with gamma-hydroxybutyrate where the total glucose equivalents in the brain, expressed as the tissue level of (glucose) + (lactate/2), were significantly increased.
(2) All drugs except imidazole-4-acetic acid significantly decreased the rate of appearance of [¹⁴C]glucose into the bloodstream in vivo but had no effect on the uptake of glucose into rat diaphragm in vitro when present at 2·5 mM concentration.
(3) Only imidazole-4-acetic acid significantly inhibited glucose uptake into the brain in vivo but at 2·5 mM had no significant effect on glucose uptake into rat cerebral cortical slices in vitro.
(4) It is concluded that the very large increase in brain glucose level observed following the injection of hypnotic doses of gamma-hydroxybutyrate cannot be explained in terms of an increased net uptake of glucose into the brain.     

ALTERATIONS IN 3H-THYMIDINE INCORPORATION INTO DNA INDUCED BY METHYL CCNU [1-(2-CHLOROETHYL)-3-(4-METHYL CYCLOHEXYL)-1-NITROSOUREA] IN NORMAL AND TUMOROUS TISSUES IN VIVO

Methyl CCNU produces a suppression of tritiated thymidine (³H-TdR) incorporation into DNA in vivo in normal bone marrow and gastrointestinal tissues which is different in magnitude and duration from that seen in L1210 ascites tumor in the same animals. This suppression and recovery pattern is not seen in animals bearing L1210 ascites tumor resistant to MeCCNU. Where a different pattern of recovery is seen between normal host target tissues and tumor, the pattern can be exploited to increase the cure rate of animals bearing advanced L1210 ascites tumor with properly spaced second doses of MeCCNU. Additional information on the potential toxicity of second doses of MeCCNU can be predicted from knowledge of the time of recovery of DNA synthesis in the normal host target tissues.     

M-胆碱药物对大鼠皮层、腮腺和豚鼠小肠纵肌中 M-乙酰胆碱受体的作用比较

本文应用[~3H]-QNB 为放射性配基,研究 M-胆碱激动剂或阻滞剂对大鼠脑皮层、腮腺和豚鼠小肠纵肌中 M-乙酰胆碱受体竞争结合的影响。经量-效比式计算后,证明它们的作用斜率(b)约为1,表明它们作用在相同的 M-乙酰胆碱受体。阻滞剂对皮层中 M-胆碱受体的抑制结合强度次序为:QNB>阿托品,东莨菪碱>苯海索>M-8218>B-7601>M-8225>7911;而它们对腮腺中 M-乙酰胆碱受体的抑制作用次序有明显不同,即 M-8218>QNB>7911>M-8225>B-7601>苯海索>阿托品>东莨菪碱,其中阿托品和东莨菪碱的抑制结合强度分别为皮层的1/111和1/315。这提示不同靶细胞中的 M-乙酰胆碱受体与相同配基结合时有不同的专一性。试验证明包公藤甲素抑制[~3H]-QNB 的结合作用与毛果芸香碱相似,它们均为激动剂,对受体的亲和力比阻滞剂弱1000倍左右。     

THE EFFECTS OF PHENYLKETONURIC AND OTHER METABOLITES ON SULFATED GALACTOCEREBROSIDE SYNTHESIS IN VIVO AND IN CULTURE

Abstract— Sulfated galactocerebroside synthesis was examined in vitro in mouse spinal cord cultures. This system permitted the study of the effects of phenylketonuric metabolites upon synthesis of a specific myelin component, sulfatide, formed early in postnatal development in mice. A significant reduction of Na₂³⁵SO₄ incorporation into myelin sulfatide was observed when spinal cord cultures were grown in the presence of 1000 μm -l -phenylalanine and 500 μm -phenylpyruvate (51 and 700%, respectively). No reduction was observed with β-phenyllactate (300 μm and) phenylacetate (250 μm ). Light microscopy indicated that the phenylpyruvate and phenylalanine treated cultures were less extensively myelinated compared to control and β-phenyllactate or phenylacetate treated cultures. The reduction of sulfatide synthesis by phenylpyruvate was shown to be reversible. Intracerebral bilateral injections (8 μg) of l -phenylalanine, phenylpyruvate, α-ketobutyrate, α-ketoisocaproate, α-ketoisovalerate, β-phenyllactate, and phenylacetate in mice 8–15 days old, followed by i.p. administration of radioactive sulfate, resulted in significantly reduced incorporation (all P < 0.05) of sulfate into brain sulfatides with all compounds tested with the exception of β-phenyllactate and phenylacetate. In adult mouse, phenylpyruvate treatment also resulted in a significant decrease in labelling of brain sulfatide. The effects of phenylpyruvate and other metabolites upon pyruvate oxidation in mouse brain homogenates were examined by measuring ¹⁴CO₂ release from [1-¹⁴C]pyruvate. Both phenylpyruvate and α-ketoisocaproate at 1 × 10^-3 resulted in a decrease in ¹⁴CO₂ produced, while phenylacetate and β-phenyllactate had no effect. Sulfate incorporation into sulfatide was reduced by α-ketoisocaproate and phenylpyruvate, and to a lesser extent by phenylalanine, α-ketobutyrate, and α-ketoisovalerate. Phenyllactate and phenylacetate had no effect, either in vivo, or in culture. This order of effectiveness may be related in part to the effects of these compounds on pyruvate oxidation.     

SYNTHESIS AND BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY OF 4-SUBSTITUTED 1-[1-(2-HYDROXYETHOXY)- METHYL-1,2,3-TRIAZOL-(4 & 5)-YLMETHYL]-1H-PYRAZOLO[3,4-d]PYRIMIDINES

The chemical synthesis of some 4-substituted 1-[1-(2-hydroxyethoxy)methyl-1,2,3-triazol-(4 and 5)-ylmethyl]-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidines 12a,b, 13a,b and 14–23 as acyclic nucleosides is described. Treatment of (2-acetoxyethoxy)methylbromide with sodium azide afforded (2-acetoxyethoxy)methylazide 9. The heterocycles 6a,b were alkylated, separately, with propargyl bromide to obtain, regioselectively, 4-(methyl and benzyl)thio-1-(prop-2-ynyl)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidines 7a,b. These N₁-alkylated products were condensed with compound 9 via a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction to obtain, after separation and deprotection, 1,4 and 1,5-regioisomers 12a,b and 13a,b. The deprotected acyclic nucleosides 12a and 13a served as precursors for the preparation of 4-amino (14 and 15), 4-methylamino (16 and 17), 4-benzylamino (18 and 19), 4-methoxy (20 and 21) and 4-hydroxy (22 and 23) analogues. Compounds 7a,b and all deprotected acyclic nucleosides were evaluated for their inhibitory effects against the replication of HIV-1(III_B) and HIV-2(ROD) in MT-4 cells and for their anti-tumor activity. No marked activity was found. However, initial evaluation of 6a,b, 7a,b, 12a,b, 13a,b and 14–23 showed that compound 7b has marked activity against M. tuberculosis.     

EFFECTS OF LITHIUM TREATMENT IN VITRO AND IN VIVO ON ACETYLCHOLINE METABOLISM IN RAT BRAIN

Abstract— The effects of LiCl on cholinergic function in rat brain in vitro and in vivo have been investigated. The high affinity transport of choline and the synthesis of acetylcholine in synaptosomes were reduced when part (25-75%) of the NaCl in the buffer was replaced with LiCl or sucrose. This appeared to be due to lack of Na⁺ rather than to Li⁺, as addition of LiCl to normal buffer had little effect. Following an injection of LiCl (10mmol/kg, i.p.) into rats the concentration of a pulsed dose of [²H₄]choline (20 μmol/kg, i.v., 1 min) and its conversion to [²H₄]acetylcholine, and the concentrations of [²H₂]acetylcholine and [²H₀]choline were measured in the striatum, cortex, hippocampus and cerebellum. The [²H₄]choline and [²H₄]acetylcholine were initially (15 min after LiCl) reduced (to ?30% in the cortex) and later (24 h after LiCl) increased (to + 50% in the striatum). There was a corresponding initial increase (to +50% in the cerebellum) and later decrease (to ?30% in the hippocampus) of the endogenous acetylcholine and choline. These results indicate an initial decrease and later increase in the utilization of acetylcholine after acute treatment with LiCl. Following 10 days of treatment with LiCl there was an increased rate of synthesis of [²H₄]acetylcholine from pulsed [²H₄]choline in the striatum, hippocampus and cortex (P < 0.05). The high affinity transport of [²H₄]choline and its conversion to [²H₄]acetylcholine was activated (131% of control; P < 0.01) in synaptosomes isolated from brains of 10-day treated rats. Investigation of synaptosomes isolated from striatum, hippocampus and cortex revealed that only striatal [²H₄]acetylcholine synthesis was significantly stimulated. Kinetic analysis demonstrated that the apparent K_T for choline was decreased by 30% in striatal synaptosomes isolated from rats treated for 10 days with LiCl. Striatal synaptosomes from 10-day treated rats compared to striatal synaptosomes from untreated rats also released acetylcholine at a stimulated rate in a medium containing 35 mM-KCl. These results indicate that LiCl treatment stimulates cholinergic activity in certain brain regions and this may play a significant role in the therapeutic effect of LiCl in neuropsychiatric disorders.     

DEVELOPMENTAL EFFECTS ON PROTEIN SYNTHESIS RATES IN REGIONS OF THE CNS IN VIVO AND IN VITRO

Abstract— Protein synthesis rates have been determined quantitatively in several regions of the nervous system of rats of various ages. The developmental changes in these regions are generally similar with a high rate maintained from several days before birth to about 4 days of age (1.9–2.1% h⁻¹). A decline in the rate ensues thereupon which continues till approx 30 days of age, whence the curve flattens though continuing slowly downward with increasing age. In the young three regions, cerebellum, pineal and pituitary, exhibit exceptionally higher rates (40–50%) than the cerebral hemispheres, pons-medulla, mid brain or cord, which all display curves of similar magnitude and shape. While the rate in the cerebellum eventually declines with age to within 10% of the rate in cerebral hemisphere, rates in the pineal and pituitary though decreasing remain far above (100%) rates in cerebral hemisphere even in adults.
The rate in vitro for slices of cerebellum follows a pattern similar to that shown previously for cerebral hemispheres: in the very young rates are 70–80% of the in vivo value but decline much more rapidly with age and in adult represent only 10–15% of the rate in vivo.
A markedly different pattern is seen in whole (unsliced) pituitaries wherein in vitro rates parallel in vivo rates with increasing age at approx 70–80% of the in vivo rate. Pineals appear to follow a similar pattern.

Synthesis and antibacterial activity of N-[2-[5-(methylthio)thiophen-2-yl]-2-oxoethyl] and N-[2-[5-(methylthio)thiophen-2-yl]-2-(oxyimino)ethyl]piperazinylquinolone derivatives

A number of N-substituted piperazinylquinolone derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for antibacterial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Preliminary results indicated that most compounds tested in this study demonstrated comparable or better activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis than their parent piperazinylquinolones as reference drugs. Among these derivatives, ciprofloxacin derivative 5a, containing N-[2-[5-(methylthio)thiophen-2-yl]-2-oxoethyl] residue, showed significant improvement of potency against staphylococci, maintaining Gram-negative coverage.
