果蝇越夏与饲料

果蝇是一种小型的昆虫。由于生活周期短,繁殖快,数量大,突变性状多,唾腺染色体大,是遗传学实验的好材料。据有关报道,果蝇最适于20°—25℃生长。在炎热的夏天繁殖困难。为了适应教学需要,我们在这方面进行了试验。发现野生型、白眼突变型,能在32—36℃下生长,尚能繁殖后代。 1.材料实验用果蝇品种:18号:Qre-R-CH野生型;19号:Sw-bWild,野生型;22号:W,白眼突变型。 2.培养果蝇所用饲料本实验采用各种水果(梨、苹果、挑、大红枣),甜酒糟,蕃茄等,都可以作果蝇饲料。其中效果最佳是苹果+甜酒糟,大红枣+甜酒糟,甜酒糟(注意:挤出多余的糟汁液)。 3.饲养方法先用70%酒精,将培养瓶内壁和水果表皮进行擦拭,使之消毒,灭菌。然后,将水果切成小块,放入培养     

大鼠脊髓中的α受体在减压反射和失血性休克中的作用

大鼠脊髓蛛网膜下腔注射α激动剂可乐宁1μg,引起血压降低、心率减慢及腹腔神经节后交感神经干放电抑制。应用α阻断剂酚妥拉明阻断脊髓内源性 NE的作用,可部分抑制血压升高时反射性的心率减慢和交感神经放电抑制反应,使压力感受器反射的敏感性降低。在颈动脉放血造成不可逆性失血性休克的动物,脊髓蛛网膜下腔注射酚妥拉明可使动脉血压有一定程度的回升。以上结果表明,由脊髓α受体调制的心血管抑制效应参与减压反射以及失血性休克的发病机制。

EAAT expression by macrophages and microglia: still more questions than answers

Glutamate is the main excitatory amino acid, but its presence in the extracellular milieu has deleterious consequences. It may induce excitotoxicity and also compete with cystine for the use of the cystine–glutamate exchanger, blocking glutathione neosynthesis and inducing an oxidative stress-induced cell death. Both mechanisms are critical in the brain where up to 20% of total body oxygen consumption occurs. In normal conditions, the astrocytes ensure that extracellular concentration of glutamate is kept in the micromolar range, thanks to their coexpression of high-affinity glutamate transporters (EAATs) and glutamine synthetase (GS). Their protective function is nevertheless sensitive to situations such as oxidative stress or inflammatory processes. On the other hand, macrophages and microglia do not express EAATs and GS in physiological conditions and are the principal effector cells of brain inflammation. Since the late 1990s, a number of studies have now shown that both microglia and macrophages display inducible EAAT and GS expression, but the precise significance of this still remains poorly understood. Brain macrophages and microglia are sister cells but yet display differences. Both are highly sensitive to their microenvironment and can perform a variety of functions that may oppose each other. However, in the very particular environment of the healthy brain, they are maintained in a repressed state. The aim of this review is to present the current state of knowledge on brain macrophages and microglial cells activation, in order to help clarify their role in the regulation of glutamate under pathological conditions as well as its outcome.
