足月新生儿听觉脑干电反应的特性

本文工作根据北京市儿童医院临床的需要,在临床实验条件下对足月新生儿的ABR进行了测量,以期分析足月新生儿ABR的电反应特征。 新生儿听觉脑干反应(ABR)的波形是Ⅰ、Ⅲ、Ⅴ波为主的连续波复合体;新生儿在声强80dB(HL)刺激频率20次/秒的短声刺激条件下,I、Ⅲ、Ⅴ波潜伏期大体为2.50,5.00和7.00ms;新生儿ABR潜伏期—刺激强度函数的斜率是30—60μsec/dB(声刺激强度从80到50dB(HL),声刺激频率20次/秒);新生儿ABR Ⅴ波对Ⅰ波的比率大于1.0(短声强度80dB(HL),刺激频率20次/秒);在80dB(HL)短声条件下,改变声刺激频率(从20次/秒增止100次/秒),Ⅴ波潜伏期约延长0.6—1.0ms;新生儿ABR阈值在30—60dB(HL)的范围。综上所述新生儿ABR电反应特性,可以为其听力和脑干功能的临床诊断提供可靠的指标和依据。     

一种刺激内脏大神经的慢性测痛方法

用聚四氟乙烯绝缘多股银丝作双极电极,埋置于左侧大内脏神经上,以刺激大内脏神经引起行为反应所需的最小电流强度作为内脏痛觉阈值。刺激参数为短串单相方波,串长500ms,波宽1ms,频率40Hz,强度为每隔5s递增约0.1mA,至出现行为反应时停止。30只家兔121次测试,内脏痛阈均值为1.16±0.056mA。在18只家兔中每只兔测定12次痛阈,其阈值相当稳定,波动在0.07mA 之间,用随机区组方差分析无显著意义。在14只家兔中静脉注射芬坦尼(20μg/kg),5min 后阈值升高显著,维持15min,其后渐趋恢复。作者认为,本方法可用于测定内脏痛阈的实验研究。     

三叉神经中脑核神经元膜的电学特性

用大鼠脑干脑片,给三叉神经中脑核79个神经元作了细胞内记录,测算了20个神经元膜的电学特性:静息电位-60.3±5.6mV;输入阻抗为10.5±5.4MΩ;时间常数1.3±0.5ms。电刺激可诱发动作电位,测算32个神经元的有关参数:阈电位-50—-55mV;波幅69.5±6.1mV;超射11.9±3.6mV;波宽0.8±0.2ms。TTX(0.3μmol/L)或无钠使之消失。通以长时程矩形波电流可引起200—250Hz的2—15个重复放电,但在通电停止前终止,TEA或4-AP可延长放电。膜电位-60—-55mV时在动作电位之后可看到阈下电位波动,它不受TTX的影响,无钙时消失,TEA或4-AP使波幅增大。静息电位去极化可使45个神经元中的40个发生外向整流作用,并被TEA,4-AP或无钙抑制,超极化则发生内向整流作用,Cs或无钠抑制之。灌流液中加入各种钾通道阻断药时神经元的稳态I-V曲线发生相应变化,提示I_(DR),l_A,I_(K(Ca))及I_Q可能都与静息时的膜电导有关。     

压力波对听觉器官的致伤作用——Ⅱ.压力波参数与伤情的关系

压力峰值 P、脉宽 T 和发数 N 是决定压力波致伤作用的基本参量,它们之一的增大一般都导致伤情的加重,但中耳损伤和内耳损伤各有不同的变化规律。当 N 为1、T 在几毫秒之内时,170dB 左右的 P 可以开始对豚鼠的中耳致伤,P 增至185dB 左右时中耳损伤便达到最大。T 和 N 的增大虽也可稍降低中耳的致伤阈或使损伤稍加重,但其主要作用则是加重内耳的伤情。若将听觉器官的损伤从最轻到最重分成5级,则每当 P 增高3—4dB,或 T 或 N 增3—5倍,伤情大体上加重一级。因此若 T 和 N 不变,压力峰值超出安全界线15dB 便可能引起严重的听觉损伤。在数秒到数十分钟的范围内,发射的间隔时间对伤情的影响不大。但当发射的间隔时间缩短到<1s(如100ms)时,对一定发数的总伤情便可稍减轻,此结果可用中耳反射的保护作用来解释。     

呼吸阻力感觉的辨别阈梯级——一种辨别阈量表

以9名健康男性为对象,测量了其对于10～500mmH_2O·l~(-1)·S范围吸气(I)或呼气(E)阻力负荷(R)的辨别阈梯级(或“最小可觉差”梯级,JND梯级),以及各梯级所对应的呼吸感觉类别量表值和相应的呼吸型式变化。结果如下:在所观察的阻力范围内,IR或ER负荷的感觉连续体,一般包含6～7个JND梯级。物理或生理刺激量(Y)(如R、口腔压力、外呼吸功等)均与JND感觉单位(X)呈下列指数函数关系:Y=~(A bx)-K(A、b、K—参数)。由多级估量法评量之呼吸感觉量与JND感觉单位亦呈指数函数关系,并能反映I、E在感觉强度上的差别。当感觉强度达3JND时,多数呼吸型式参数已有较明显变化;4JND时,肺通气量仍可维持对照水平。3JND之阻力感觉类别仍属“轻度”,在IR或ER负荷下,其相应的Pmax分别为70或55mmH_2O。本文提出可将JND梯级测量作为一种辨别阈量表用于呼吸感觉评量,并就其对制订呼吸防护装备生理标准的意义进行了讨论。     

豚鼠内膝体的纯音调频诱发电位

本工作记录和分析了豚鼠内膝体调频诱发电位的反应特性、反应类型及反应阈,并与听皮层的反应作了比较。和听皮层的一样,内膝体调频诱发电位也有“给”、“撤”和“给—撤”等反应类型,平行记录表明,同侧听皮层的反应类型和内膝体的有严格的一致性变化。内膝体调频诱发反应阈△Fm随载波F(250Hz—16kHz)的变化而变,其趋势也和听皮层的相似,但阈值较听皮层的为高。当F小于 2kHz左右时,内膝体的 △Fm没有随F而增大的明显趋势,一般分布在30Hz上下,比听皮层的约高15Hz。当F大于 2kHz时,△Fm随F的增高而相应地增大,和听皮层的△Fm差值也随之而渐次增大(差15—33Hz)。这说明对精确的频率分辨,内膝体不是最高级中枢。在内膝体分析的基础上,听皮层可进一步提高分辨精度。     

噪声对豚鼠内耳组织能量代谢的影响——噪声致聋机理

豚鼠暴露于125dB SPL噪声下1小时后即刻、1天内耳组织中葡萄糖(46.0±18.3μg/mg蛋白,102.2±56.3μg/mg蛋白)及丙酮酸量(30.6±8.4μg/g蛋白,47.1±15.7μg/g蛋白)均显著地高于对照组(葡萄糖26.4±8.9μg/mg蛋白,丙酮酸23.7±8.9μg/g蛋白),p<0.05。与此同时豚鼠听功能耳廓反射阈衰减dB值(30.0±12.2dB,44.8±2.5dB)显著地低于暴露前水平(49.4±2.9dB,46.2±1.9dB),P相似文献

催产素对强噪声所致声音强度辨别功能损伤的拮抗作用

我们已发现外源性催产素能改善人及豚鼠以恼干电位或耳蜗电图为指标的听觉功能。本文在对照组和预先给予催产素处理的豚鼠上,比较了125dB(SPL)白噪声暴露20min前后声音强度辨别能力的改变,并比较了肌内注射和侧脑室微量注射两种不同给药途径的作用。实验以重复短声调幅引起的皮层慢反应电位阈值I_r为指标,观察了催产素对豚鼠声音强度辨别功能的影响。结果发现对照组噪声暴露所致I_r的升高明显高于催产素处理组,且此种暂时性阈移的恢复也明显慢于催产素组;催产素两种给药途径的结果无明显差异。这些结果进一步提示催产素对声音强度辨别功能具有保护作用。     

重复短声调频在豚鼠诱发的皮层慢反应及反应阈

重复短声调频在豚鼠诱发的皮层慢反应的基本特征与其他声刺激诱发者相似,它为一正负正三相波,第一正峰的潜伏期约50ms。以调频深度表示的反应阈△f_r较易测定,可以作为动物频率辨别能力的定量表达。对从250至4000pps的复频,豚鼠△fr的均值只在2.0至2.6pps间波动,因此对需要比较不同状况时△fr的变化,一般只取复频1000pps的△f_r便可代表,不必取整个△f_r曲线。听觉系统对重复短声的频率变化比纯音的容易检别,本文对可能的机理进行了讨论。     

DNA repair replication,DNA breaks and sister-chromatid exchange in human cells treated with adriamycin in vitro

The effects of adriamycin (AM) on DNA repair replication, the frequency of sister-chromatid exchange (SCE), the rate of cell proliferation and the frequency of DNA strand breaks were studied in human cells in vitro. No repair replication was observed in lymphocytes exposed to AM in concentrations up to 10^?3 moles/1. DNA repair replication induced by UV and alkylating agents was not affected by a concentration of AM that completely inhibited cell proliferation (10^?6 moles/1).Fibroblasts exposed to AM at 10^?4 moles/1 in the presence of hydroxyurea showed an increase of strand breaks and cross-links in DNA. When AM was added to UV-irradiated fibroblasts, there was an increase of DNA strand breaks in addition to the breaks caused by UV alone. Similar effects were observed in lymphocytes.A dose-dependent increase of SCE was observed in lymphocytes exposed to low concentrations of AM (<10^?7 moles/1). At higher concentrations the increase of SCE levelled off, and cell proliferation became severely inhibited. There was no evidence of removal of SCE-inducing damage in cells exposed to AM during G₀ or G₁. The level of SCE induced in the third cell cycle after treatment with AM was not different from that induced during the first two cell cycles.These results suggest that the various genotoxic and cytotoxic effects of AM are caused by different types of cellular damage. Moreover, AM-induced DNA damage persists for several cell cycles in human cells in vitro and seems to be resistant to repair activity.     

The relationship between density of Glomus mosseae propagules and the initiation and spread of arbuscular mycorrhizas in cotton roots

 The experiments aimed to determine the relationship between density of propagules in soil and initiation and spread of an arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus in the cotton roots. As few as 10 propagules of Glomus mosseae in approximately 95 g soil located in a band 25 cm below the soil surface established mycorrhizas in more than 80% of cotton roots at the point of inoculation within 36 days. Secondary spread was initiated 10–13 days after primary colonisation in treatments inoculated with one, 10 or 100 propagules. Spread of mycorrhizas within the root system was rapid from 100 propagules and was slower with fewer propagules. Accepted: 26 August 1999     

增强UV-B辐射对小麦根尖细胞游离钙离子分布的影响

以小麦根尖为材料,利用低温装载法在根尖细胞中成功地装载了酯化形式的钙离子荧光指示剂fluo-3/AM,利用激光共聚焦显微技术检测了增强UV-B辐射后小麦根尖细胞内游离钙离子荧光强度的分布,并对胞质内游离钙离子浓度进行了测定.结果表明:(1)对照组小麦根尖细胞内钙离子荧光主要分布于细胞胞质周缘;而经UV-B辐射处理后,细胞内钙离子荧光不仅分布在胞质周缘,且在细胞壁与胞间隙可观察到大量钙离子荧光.(2)对单个细胞内钙离子荧光强度进行测定,发现UV-B处理使细胞胞质内游离钙离子浓度明显升高.     

Myosin and actomyosin from human skeletal muscle

Human skeletal natural actomyosin contained actin, tropomyosin, troponin and myosin components as judged by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in sodium dodecyl sulfate. Purified human myosin contained at least three light chains having molecular weights (±2000) of 25 000, 18 000 and 15 000. Inhibitory and calcium binding components of troponin were identified in an actin-tropomyosin-troponin complex extracted from acetone-dried muscle powder at 37°C. Activation of the Mg-ATPase activity of Ca²⁺-sensitive human natural or reconstituted actomyosin was half maximal at approximately 3.4 μM Ca²⁺ concentration (CaEGTA binding constant = 4.4 · 10⁵ at pH 6.8). Subfragment 1, isolated from the human heavy meromyosin by digestion with papain, appeared as a single peak after DEAE-cellulose chromatography. In the pH 6–9 range, the Ca²⁺-ATPase activity of the subfragment 1 was 1.8-and 4-fold higher that the original heavy meromyosin and myosin, respectively. The ATPase activities of human myosin and its fragments were 6–10 fold lower than those of corresponding proteins from rabbit fast skeletal muscle. Human myosin lost approximately 60% of the Ca²⁺-ATPase activity at pH 9 without a concomitant change in the number of distribution of its light chains. These findings indicate that human skeletal muscle myosin resembles other slow and fast mammalian muscles. Regulation of human skeletal actomyosin by Ca²⁺ is similar to that of rabbit fast or slow muscle     

Alkylating esters X. The reaction of some aziridine alkylating agents with methionine and S-methyl cysteine

Two biologically active aziridine ring-containing compounds, N,N-ethylene urethane (I) and N,N-ethylene urea (II), have been shown to react with methionine in dilute phosphate buffer (pH 7.4) at 37°C. Degradative procedures indicate that the aziridine ring effectively alkylates the thio ether group of methionine and other thio ether-containing amino acids to produce sulphonium salts (V). By using [³⁵S]methionine, the sulphonium salts have been shown to be quite stable under physiological conditions ($\text{t}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>built1</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}$ 7–9 days) hydrolysing to convert the methionine residue to homoserine.It is proposed that similar alkylations of methionyl residues in vivo by aziridine-alkylating agents may explain the complex, and as yet unknown, metabolic fate of the aziridine ring and could also be a factor contributing to the diverse effects that these agents have on living cells.     

荧光素标记检测乙型肝炎病毒表面抗原特异性T淋巴细胞方法的探讨

Effect of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, organic fertilizer and soil sterilization on maize growth

The effects of inoculation with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi, organic fertilizer (F) applications, and soil sterilization on maize growth were evaluated in a pot experiment. The experiment was in a completely randomized factorial design (2 × 4 × 2) with six replicates for each treatment. There were two soil treatments (sterilized soil, SS and unsterilized soil, US), four organic fertilizer treatments (0.0, 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 g kg^?1 soil), and two AM fungi treatments (inoculation with Glomus mosseae, +AM and uninoculated control, ?AM). Inoculated plants generally had greater AM colonization, plant height, dry weight and phosphorus (P) uptake than uninoculated controls, and these parameters were significantly increased as the organic fertilizer application increased up to 0.5 g kg^?1 but decreased or had no significant effect compared to the uninoculated plants at the highest fertilizer rate (2.0 g kg^?1). Plant growth, P uptake and AM colonization of root system were significantly higher in sterilized soil compared to the unsterilized control. Our results indicated that the inoculation of AM fungi in field soil with optimal organic fertilizer application greatly improved maize growth and nutrient uptake, and the effect was greater under sterilized soil condition.     

Effect of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, organic fertilizer and soil sterilization on maize growth ☆

The effects of inoculation with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi, organic fertilizer (F) applications, and soil sterilization on maize growth were evaluated in a pot experiment. The experiment was in a completely randomized factorial design (2 × 4 × 2) with six replicates for each treatment. There were two soil treatments (sterilized soil, SS and unsterilized soil, US), four organic fertilizer treatments (0.0, 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 g kg^-1 soil), and two AM fungi treatments (inoculation with Glomus mosseae, +AM and uninoculated control, －AM). Inoculated plants generally had greater AM colonization, plant height, dry weight and phosphorus (P) uptake than uninoculated controls, and these parameters were significantly increased as the organic fertilizer application increased up to 0.5 g kg^-1 but decreased or had no significant effect compared to the uninoculated plants at the highest fertilizer rate (2.0 g kg^-1). Plant growth, P uptake and AM colonization of root system were significantly higher in sterilized soil compared to the unsterilized control. Our results indicated that the inoculation of AM fungi in field soil with optimal organic fertilizer application greatly improved maize growth and nutrient uptake, and the effect was greater under sterilized soil condition.     

Arbuscular mycorrhizal morphology in crops and associated weeds in tropical agro-ecosystems

Morphological types of arbuscular mycorrhizae (AM) in crops and associated weeds were examined in agro-ecosystems. In total, 48 plant species (8 crops and 40 weeds) belonging to 43 genera in 18 families were examined. The number of plant species with Arum-type AM was higher than those with Paris-type AM in the examined plants. AM association was absent in 6 weeds, and the average colonization rate was 62.64% in crops and 52.92% in weeds. AM morphology has been reported in 2 crops and 21 weeds for the first time. The influence of plant identity on AM morphology was also analyzed by arranging the examined plants in a current plant phylogenetic scheme. This analysis showed there was a lack of relationship between plant classification and AM morphological type. Actually, the colonization types were not distinguished at the plant family level, but were mostly distinguished at the species level.     

Regulation of arbuscular mycorrhizal development by plant host and fungus species in alfalfa

Two cvs of alfalfa ( Medicago sativa L.), Gilboa and Moapa 69, were inoculated in glasshouse pots with three arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi to investigate the efficacy of mycorrhizas with respect to the extent of colonization and sporulation. Paspalum notatum Flugge also was inoculated to describe fungal parameters on a routine pot culture host. Percentage root length of P. notatum colonized by Glomus mosseae (Nicol. & Gerd.) Gerdemann & Trappe, Glomus intraradices Schenck & Smith, and Gigaspora margarita Becker & Hall increased from 10 to 21 wk, and all fungi sporulated during that period. In alfalfa, only colonization by G. intraradices increased over that time period, and it was the only fungus to sporulate in association with alfalfa at 10 wk. Glomus mosseae did not sporulate after 16–21 wk despite having colonized 30–35% of the root length of both alfalfa cvs. In vitro experiments in which Ri T-DNA-transformed roots of alfalfa were inoculated with AM fungi showed normal mycorrhizal formation by G. intraradices and a hypersensitivity-like response to Gi. margarita . Colonized cells became necrotic, and HPLC analysis indicated increased concentrations of phenolics and isoflavonoids in these root segments. These data strongly support the existence of a degree of specificity between AM fungi and host that might rely on specific biochemical regulatory processes initiated in the host as a result of the attempts at colonization by the fungus.
