阿托品对家鸽顶盖脑片Iia-f亚层诱发电位的影响

在２８例家鸽顶盖脑片上，以微电极记录电刺激顶盖Ⅰ层引起的Ⅱａ－ｆ亚层诱发电位，并观察乙酰胆碱受体拮抗剂阿托品和筒箭毒对诱发电位的影响。结果显示，该诱发电位包含两个波形成分，频率跟随实验提示属于突触后反应，以含２０μｍｏｌ／Ｌ阿托品的人工脑脊液（ＡＣＳＦ）灌流脑片１０ｍｉｎ后，诱发电位出现衰减，５０ｍｉｎ后波形成分完全消失，换含２０μｍｏｌ／Ｌ筒箭毒的ＡＣＳＦ灌流则对诱发电位没有影响。以上结果提示，     

海马脑片缺氧损伤电位

在脑缺血／缺氧损伤研究领域,离体海马脑片的应用日益普遍,在海马脑片缺氧过程中,发现ＣＡ１区诱发群锋电位及场兴奋性突触后电位消失后又自行恢复,这就是海马脑片缺氧损伤电位,本文介绍了ＨＩＰ的电生理特性,代表的意义及可能的产生机制。     

钙离子在海马脑片缺氧损伤中的作用

本工作用海马脑片缺氧模型,观察了无钙、高镁人工脑脊液以及钙通道阻断剂尼莫地平对缺氧后海马脑片ＣＡ１区锥体细胞诱发群锋电位（ＰＳ）的影响。发现用无钙与高镁人工脑脊液灌流脑片,可显著促进脑片缺氧后ＰＳ的恢复,而尼莫地平对缺氧脑片ＰＳ的恢复则无明显促进作用。结果表明：钙离子参与海马脑片缺氧后神经元及其突触传递的损伤过程,而电压敏感性钙通道Ｌ亚型在缺氧损伤中可能不起主要作用。     

降钙素基因相关肽和心房肽对犬冠脉的舒张作用

本实验利用冠脉内给药和离体血管灌流等方法观察比较了降钙素基因相关肽（ＣＧＲＰ）和心房肽（ＡＮＰ）对犬冠脉循环的影响及其对犬大小冠状动脉的舒张作用。结果显示,ＣＧＲＰ和ＡＮＰ均能明显增加冠脉血流量、降低大小冠脉阻力,两者均呈剂量依赖性舒张大小脉冠脉血管。ＡＮＰ的作用显著小于ＣＧＲＰ,其中大冠脉对两者的反应性显著小于小冠脉,ＣＧＲＰ和ＡＮＰ对冠脉的舒张作用均无内皮依赖性。结果提示,ＣＧＲＰ和ＡＮＰ直接     

糖尿病大鼠肠系膜动脉降钙素基因相关肽释放减少以及一氧化氮的作用

我们以前的工作已表明,内毒素可引起降钙素基因相关肽（ＣＧＲＰ）从大鼠肠系膜动脉床释放,此作用部分是通过一氧化氮介导的。我们在离体肠系膜动脉床研究了内毒素引起糖尿病大鼠ＣＣＲＰ释放的改变以及一氧化氮所起的作用。采用ＣＣＲＰ放射免疫分析法测定灌流液中ＣＣＲＰ含量,ＲＴ－ＰＣＲ法测定背根神经节ＣＧＲＰｍＲＮＡ水平。结果显示：内毒素累积灌流引起ＣＧＲＰ浓度依赖性地释放增多,此作用在糖尿病大鼠系膜动脉术明显     

降钙素基因相关肽的心肌电生理作用

应用浮置微电极技术,记录和观察降钙素基因相关肽（ＣＧＲＰ）对家兔正常及缺血心肌电生理反应的影响。实验表明,ＣＧＲＰ能够显著增加心室肌细胞静息电位,提高动作电位幅度。心肌缺血后,ＣＧＲＰ除有上述作用外,尚能明显延长复极化至３０％和５０％（ＡＰＤ＿(３０),ＡＰＤ＿(５０)）的时程,而缩短复极化至１００％（ＡＰＤ＿(１００)）的时程,从而逆转了心肌缺血的ＡＰＤ异常变化。结果表明,ＣＧＲＰ对心肌电活动具有调节作用,对缺血心肌的电生理具有稳定和保护作用。     

糖皮质激素对谷氨酸和GABA受体的电生理反应的快速调制作用

在大鼠下丘脑薄片和豚鼠腹腔神经节上,分别用玻璃微电极细胞外和细胞内记录方法,观察了１０＾６ｍｏｌ／Ｌ糖皮质激素（ＧＣ）对谷氨酸和ＧＡＢＡ受体分层效应的快速调制作用。结果表明,ＧＣ灌流后５ｍｉｎ,对谷氨酸受体介导的效应起抑制作用,而对ＧＡＢＡ受体介导的效应起增强作用。撤除ＧＣ后,神经元对谷氨酸和ＧＡＢＡ的反应恢复到对照水平。低钙高镁灌流液不能取消ＧＣ的调制作用。结果提示,ＧＣ在不需要突触环路条件下,     

以突触前排放的消失设定海马脑片缺氧损伤时间及应用实例

刺激Schaffer侧支,记录大鼠海马脑片CA_1区的突触前排放(presynaptic volley,PV)和突触后群锋电位(population spikes,PS),观察缺氧后PS和PV的变化及复氧30min后脑片PS的恢复,缺氧持续到PV消失1,2,3或4min,复氧后脑片恢复率分别为100％,11.5％,0％,0％。可见,缺氧后 PV 消失2min为损伤的关键时刻。提前1min终止缺氧,全部脑片的PS可以恢复,延迟1min终止缺氧,则全部脑片的PS不能恢复。这种方法是根据每个脑片的电反应确定其总的缺氧时间,故每个脑片的缺氧时间略有变动。与每次采用相同缺氧时间的传统方法相比,此方法脑片恢复率的稳定性与重复性均较好。用此方法发现美西律10和100μmol/L能增加复氧后PS恢复率,对突触功能的缺氧损伤具有保护作用。     

糖皮质激素对谷氨酸和DGABA受体的电生理反应的快速调制作用

在大鼠下丘脑薄片和豚鼠腹腔神经节上,分别用玻璃微电极细胞外和细胞内记录方法,观察了１０－６ｍｏｌ／Ｌ糖皮质激素（ＧＣ）对谷氨酸和ＧＡＢＡ受体介导效应的快速调制作用。结果表明,ＧＣ灌流后５ｍｉｎ,对谷氨酸受体介导的效应起抑制作用,而对ＧＡＢＡ受体介导的效应起增强作用。撤除ＧＣ后,神经元对谷氨酸和ＧＡＢＡ的反应恢复到对照水平。低钙高镁灌流液不能取消ＧＣ的调制作用。结果提示,ＧＣ在不需要突触环路条件下,可能通过非基因组途径影响谷氨酸和ＧＡＢＡ受体介导的效应。     

γ-氨基丁酸对离体大鼠延髓头端腹外侧区神经元单位放电的抑制作用

在７３张脑片上观察了γ－氨基丁酸（ＧＡＢＡ）对１０６个延髓头端腹外侧区（ＲＶＬＭ）神经元单位放电的影响。外源性的ＧＡＢＡ（０．１￣３．０ｍｍｏｌ／Ｌ）抑制了１０６神经元中的８４个神经元的电活动,这些抑制效应呈剂量－反应关系。ＧＡＢＡ的抑制效应大部分可被ＧＡＢＡＡ受体选择性拮抗剂荷苞牡丹碱甲基碘化物（ＢＭＩ）和Ｃｌ＾－通道阻断剂印防己毒素（ＰＴＸ）所阻断,而单独灌流ＢＭＩ和ＰＴＸ对ＲＶＬＭ神经元主要     

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.

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.
