侧脑室注射Orexin-1受体拮抗剂对大鼠心血管效应的影响

目的:用侧脑室微量注射和免疫组化方法研究食欲素-1受体(OX1R)拮抗剂SB408124对麻醉大鼠的心血管效应及其作用机制。方法:雄性SD大鼠,侧脑室微量注射SB408124,及甲硝阿托品、六甲溴铵静脉注射预处理后侧脑室注射SB408124,观测动脉血压(MAP)和心率(HR)的变化。然后,用免疫组化方法检测侧脑室注射SB408124对大鼠脑延髓头端腹外侧区(RVLM)内酪氨酸羟化酶(TH)阳性神经元的影响。结果:侧脑室注射SB408124可显著降低麻醉大鼠的MAP和HR,但是HR变化不如MAP变化明显。应用六甲溴铵可完全阻断SB408124的心血管效应,但甲硝阿托品不能阻断SB408124的心血管效应。侧脑室注射SB408124可使鼠脑延髓头端腹外侧区内酪氨酸羟化酶阳性神经元的数量显著降低。结论:侧脑室注射OX1R拮抗剂SB408124可显著降低麻醉大鼠的MAP和HR,其作用主要是通过抑制交感神经系统的活性而实现的。     

脑室注射P物质对大鼠血压、心率及交感传出活动的影响

给乌拉坦麻醉六鼠侧脑室注射P物质(SP)10μg,引起动脉血压、心率和内脏交感神经放电增加。同样剂量的SP静脉注射后却引起血压降低。阿托品预处理不影响SP的开心率作用。预先脑室注射0.25,4,64μg阿片受体拮抗剂纳洛酮,对SP的升压效应有剂量依赖式对抗作用。以上说明脑室注射SP 引起的血压升高是交感神经活动增强,导致心率加快及外周血管紧张性增加的结果,并提示SP的中枢升压效应可能与脑内释放内源性阿片样物质有关。     

去甲肾上腺素参与家兔脑室注射P物质的心血管效应

目的:深入探讨脑内注射SP的心血管效应及其与去甲肾上腺素能系统的关系.方法:家兔乌拉坦静脉麻醉,侧脑室注射SP或预先注射肾上腺素能受体阻断剂酚妥拉明、哌唑嗪、育亨宾.记录给药前后平均动脉血压(MAP)、左室收缩压(LVSP)、左心室收缩末期压(LVEDP)、室内压最大上升速率( dp/dtmax)和下降速率(-dp/dtmax)、心肌收缩成分实测最大缩短速度(Vpm)、心率(HR).观察脑室注射SP后小脑延髓池脑脊液中NA含量的变化.结果:①与对照组比较,icv SP可引起HR、LVSP、LVEDP、 dp/dtmax、-dp/dtmax和Vpm值明显增加(P<0.05),同时,小脑延髓池脑脊液中NA含量显著升高(P<0.05).②酚妥拉明或哌唑嗪预处理可显著减弱脑室注射SP引起心血管增强效应(P<0.05),但育亨宾预处理对注射SP引起的心血管效应无明显影响(P<0.05).结论:①脑内注射SP可增强心脏的收缩功能、升高动脉血压.②脑内α1肾上腺素能受体可能参与侧脑室注射SP的心血管增强效应.③中枢应用SP可促进NA能神经元释放NA或抑制突触前膜重摄取NA.这可能是脑内SP心血管效应的一个重要机制.     

雨蛙肽中枢促胃酸分泌作用机制的初步分析

利用特异的受体阻断剂能够拮抗相应的受体激动剂的效应的原理,分析雨蛙肽中枢促胃酸分泌作用的受体机制。向大鼠侧脑室内注射微量雨蛙肽(67ng/鼠),可引起急性灌流大鼠胃酸分泌明显增加。预先向大鼠侧脑室内注射肾上腺素受体阻断剂酚妥拉明或心得安,20min后再向侧脑室内注射雨蛙肽,预处理对雨蛙肽的促胃酸分泌作用影响不大。但事先向侧脑室内注射乙酰胆碱受体阻断剂阿托品或胆囊收缩素(CCK)受体阻断剂二丁酰环化-磷酸鸟苷(Bt_2 cGMP)则可有效地阻断雨蛙肽的作用。以上结果提示,脑内雨蛙肽促胃酸分泌机制中,可能有 CCK 受体和胆碱能受体参与,而与肾上腺素能系统关系不大。     

大鼠脑室注射P物质引起的血压升高与脑啡肽和β-内啡肽有关

给乌拉坦麻醉大鼠侧脑室注射P物质(SP)10μg 引起的升压效应,可被脑室注射纳洺酮15μg 部分阻断。将抗β-内啡肽抗血清、抗甲啡肽抗血清及抗亮啡肽抗血清各10μl 分别注入侧脑室预处理60min 后,再注入 SP,其升压效应明显减弱;而抗强啡肽抗血清则对其无影响。上述结果提示:大鼠脑室注射 SP 引起的升压效应,可能是通过释放β-内啡肽和脑啡肽实现的。     

侧脑室注射硫化氢对大鼠血压和呼吸的调节作用

目的 探讨中枢硫化氢（H2S）对正常大鼠平均动脉血压的调节及其机制.方法 将微量H2S饱和盐溶液一次性和连续注射入麻醉大鼠侧脑室（ICV）,观察注药后血压、心率和呼吸的变化.结果 ICV一次性注射不同剂量的H2S饱和盐溶液后可引起血压先急剧降低而后迅速升高,心率减慢,呼吸幅度增加和呼吸频率减慢,并存在显著的剂量和时间依赖关系.ICV连续注射H2S可显著升高血压,但对心率和呼吸没有影响.ICV注射一次性注射K＋-ATP通道开放剂Pinacidil可显著的降低血压,但心率和呼吸没有显著变化;ICV一次性注射K＋-ATP通道阻断剂glibenclamide对血压、心率和呼吸没有显著的影响;但预先ICV注射glibenclamide可阻断H2S的降低血压和减慢心率的作用,对呼吸没有影响.预先静脉注射酚妥拉明对血压没有明显的影响,却显著抑制ICV给予H2S产生的升高血压减慢心率效应.结论 本工作提示H2S是调节心血管活动的一个重要的中枢活性因子,其降低血压的效应是通过K＋-ATP通道和影响呼吸有关系,而升压效应是通过激活交感神经的活性.     

侧脑室注射5-HT对兔胃运动的影响及其机制研究

目的：探讨中枢5—HT对胃运动调节的神经机制。方法：采用免侧脑室给药,记录胃内压及胃收缩频率。结果：①侧脑室注入5—HT25μg,胃内压升高,胃收缩频率下降。②侧脑室注入阿托品抑制5—HT的效应,外周静脉注射阿托品仅阻断其升压作用。酚妥拉明和心得安对5—HT的作用均无明显影响。③侧脑室注射纳洛酮或苯海拉明显著抑制5—HT的降频作用,且苯海拉明能反转5—HT的升压作用。④切断双侧膈下迷走神经,侧脑室注射5—HT对胃运动无影响。结论：脑内5—HT引起胃收缩频率和胃内压变化的神经机制不同,升高胃内压的作用与中枢乙酰胆碱和组织胺有关,经迷走神经中胆碱能纤维传出;降低胃收缩频率的作用与中枢乙酰胆碱、组织胺及脑啡肽有关,经迷走神经中非胆碱能非肾上腺素能纤维传出。     

家兔侧脑室注射组胺对肺动脉血压的影响

本工作将组胺(HA)注入麻醉家兔侧脑室,观察其对肺动脉血压的影响。结果观察到(1)侧脑室注射HA(50μg)后,肺动脉压和心输出量出现升高、降低和先降后升三种变化,但以升高反应较为多见。发生上述反应时,颈动脉压升高,心率减慢。(2)切断两侧颈部迷走神经或用心脏人工起搏固定心率后,肺动脉压和心输出量均不再下降而出现恒定的升高反应。静脉注射酚妥拉明可部分阻断HA引起的肺动脉和颈动脉升压反应,但不能阻断心输出量的升高。静脉注射心得安能完全阻断HA引起的心输出量升高,但对肺动脉和颈动脉的升压反应无影响。静脉注射六甲双铵或联合应用酚妥拉明和心得安可完全消除HA引起的肺动脉压、颈动脉压和心输出量的升高反应。(3)HA的心血管效应可被H_1受体阻断剂扑尔敏阻断,但不能被H_2受体阻断剂甲氰咪胍阻断。 实验结果表明:家兔侧脑室注射HA后,在中枢H_1受体的介导下,可通过交感神经使心输出量增加,肺血管和外周血管收缩,因而肺动脉压和颈动脉压上升;也可通过迷走神经使心率减慢。而HA引起的肺动脉压下降则是继发性的,是由于心率减慢,心输出量减少所致。     

心房钠尿肽的中枢性心血管和肾效应

在麻醉大鼠观察了颈动脉、脊髓蛛网膜下腔和侧脑室内注射心房钠尿肽(Atrial natri-uretic peptide,ANP)后,血压,心率或/和尿量、尿钠和尿钾的变化,并观察了 ANP 对血管紧张素Ⅱ(AGⅡ)中枢效应的影响。结果如下:(1)在大鼠头部交叉循环条件下,经受血鼠颈总动脉内注射α-人心房钠尿多肽(α-human atrial natriurctic polypeptide,α-hANP)(15μg/kg)后,受血鼠平均动脉压(MAP)无改变,而供血鼠的 MAP 降低,⊿MAP为-2.4±0.84kPa(-18±6.3mmHg,P<0.05),(2)脊髓蛛网膜下腔注射心房肽,Ⅱ(AtriopeptinⅡ,APⅡ)(5μg/kg)对血压、心率和尿量无明显影响;(3)侧脑室注射 APⅡ(20μg/kg)后血压和心率无显著改变,尿量仅在注射后第30至50min 时显著增加,而尿钠无改变;(4)侧脑室注射 AGⅡ(1μg/kg),血压升高,⊿MAP 为1.3±0.17kPa(10±1.3mmHg,n=10,P<0.001)。注射1h 后,尿量增加106%(P<0.01),尿钠增加642%(P<0.01);(5)事先侧脑室注射 APⅡ(20μg/kg),2min 后再注入 AGⅡ(1μg/kg),AGⅡ的中枢升压效应不受影响,⊿MAP为1.5±0.25kPa(11±1.9mmHg,n=7,P<0.01),而尿量和尿钠的增值明显减小。以上结果表明,ANP 难于透过血脑脑脊血屏障,可能与其分子量较大有关。在静脉注射 ANP 所致降压效应中,似无中枢机制的参与。ANP 对 AGⅡ     

侧脑室内注射微量五肽胃泌素对大鼠胃肠推进运动的影响

以炭粉混悬液在大鼠小肠内推进距离占小肠全长的百分数,作为胃肠推进运动的指标,观察了侧脑室内注射微量五肽胃泌素(G_5)对这一推进运动的影响。结果如下:(1)侧脑室内(ICV)注射c_5(1μg/10μl、2μg/10μl 或4μg/10μl)可显著增强胃肠推进运动(P<0.01—0.001)。切断两侧膈下迷走神经、阿托品皮下(0.2mg/kg)或侧脑室内(5μg/10μl)注射均可完全阻断这一增强效应(P<0.001)。(2)肌注较大剂量G_5(20μg/100g)可显著增强胃肠推进运动(P<0.001),这一效应亦可为皮下注射阿托品(0.2mg/kg)所完全阻断(P<0.001)。(3)酚妥拉明(2.5mg/kg im或50g/10μl ICV)或心得安(5mg/kgim或50μg/50μl ICV)对侧脑室内注射G_5增强胃肠推进运动的作用均无影响(P>0.05)。上述结果表明侧脑室内注射G_5后,可能激活中枢胆硷能系统,通过迷走神经而使胃肠推进运动增强。     

Recent advances in the study of Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus replication and pathogenesis

It has now been over twenty years since a novel herpesviral genome was identified in Kaposi's sarcoma biopsies. Since then, the cumulative research effort by molecular biologists, virologists, clinicians, and epidemiologists alike has led to the extensive characterization of this tumor virus, Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus(KSHV; also known as human herpesvirus 8(HHV-8)), and its associated diseases. Here we review the current knowledge of KSHV biology and pathogenesis, with a particular emphasis on new and exciting advances in the field of epigenetics. We also discuss the development and practicality of various cell culture and animal model systems to study KSHV replication and pathogenesis.     

The structure, reproduction and taxonomy of Vidalia and Osmundaria (Rhodophyta, Rhodomelaceae)

Comprises species occurring mostly in subtidal habitats in tropical, subtropical and warm-temperate areas of the world. An analysis of the type species, V. spiralis (Sonder) Lamouroux ex J. Agardh, a species from Australia, establishes basic characters for distinguishing species in the genus. These characters are (1) branching patterns of thalli, (2) flat blades that may be spiralled on their axis, (3) width of the blade, (4) primary or secondary derivation of sterile and fertile branchlets and (5) position of sterile and fertile branchlets on the thalli. Application of the latter two characters provides an important basic method for separation of species into three major groups. Osmundaria , a genus known only in southern Australia, was studied in relation to Vidalia , and its separation from the Vidalia assemblage is not accepted. Species of Vidalia therefore are transferred to the older genus name, Osmundaria. Two new species, Osmundaria papenfussii and Osmundaria oliveae are described from Natal. Confusion in the usage of the epithet, Vidalia fimbriala Brown ex Turner has been clarified, and Vidalia gregaria Falkenberg, described as an epiphyte on Osmundaria pro/ifera Lamouroux, is revealed to be young branches of the host, Osmundaria prolifera.     

New or rare chromosome counts in Artemisia L. (Asteraceae, Anthemideae) and related genera from Kazakhstan

Fifteen chromosome counts of six Artemisia taxa and one species of each of the genera Brachanthemum, Hippolytia, Kaschgaria, Lepidolopsis and Turaniphytum are reported from Kazakhstan. Three of them are new reports, two are not consistent with previous counts and the remainder are confirmations of very scarce (one to four) earlier records. All the populations studied have the same basic chromosome number, x = 9, with ploidy levels ranging from 2x to 6x. Some correlations between ploidy level, morphological characters and distribution are noted.     

肝癌中HBV和HCV基因和抗原的分布及意义

采用原位分子杂交方法检测HCV RNA及HBV X基因;采用免疫组织化学方法研究HCV核心抗原,非结构区C33c抗原及HBxAg在肝细胞肝癌中的定位及分布.结果表明(1)HCV RNA、HBV X基因在肝细胞肝癌组织检出率分别为40%(55/136)和82%(112/136).HCV RNA定位于癌细胞的胞浆内,阳性细胞呈散在、灶状及弥漫分布三种形式;HBV X基因在肝癌细胞中的分布呈胞浆型、核型及核浆型,阳性细胞也呈上述三种分布形式;(2)HCV C33c抗原、核心抗原在肝细胞肝癌中的阳性率为81%(133/164)及86%(141/164).C33c抗原定位于癌细胞及肝细胞的胞浆内;核心抗原既定位于癌细胞核中,又可定位于胞浆中.C33c抗原阳性细胞以灶状分布为主;而核心抗原阳性细     

Selection with two alleles and complete dominance

For a plant selection model with frequency-independent viabilities, fertilities and selfing rates, it is shown that apart from global fixation, for certain parameter combinations a protected polymorphism and facultative fixation (either allele may become fixed according to initial frequencies) may both occur. Facultative fixation requires different selling rates for the dominant and recessive type. Protection of the polymorphism requires resource allocation for male and female function. In this connection the problem of purely genetically caused population extinction is discussed.
For general frequency dependence and regular segregation, the chances for establishment of a completely recessive gene are compared to those of a completely dominant gene. It is proven that the process of establishment of the recessive gene, despite a fitness advantage, may be considerably endangered by drift effects if random mating prevails. The recessive gene may reach the same effectivity in establishment as a dominant gene, only if the recessive homozygote mates exclusively with its own type during the period of establishment.
