中国东方铃蟾(Bombina orientalis)皮肤中C_(-12-b)肽的分离与鉴定

东方铃蟾鲜皮的甲醇提取液,可引起大鼠离体平滑肌的收缩。此液经碱性氧化铝柱层析分离,其80%乙醇洗脱的 C 组分显示生物活性。C 组分再经葡聚糖凝胶 G-15柱分离,其活性较强的早期洗脱组分 C_(_12),可被糜蛋白酶水解灭活,但其活性并不被5-HT 拮抗剂赛庚啶[2×10~(-6)mol/L]完全拮抗。继用反相高效液相色谱(RP-HPLC)分析,见分离出的 C_(_12_h)峰与铃蟾肽~*(Bombesin,BBS)的出峰时间相同,且具相同的氨基酸组成。上述实验结果提示,C_(_12_h)肽可能就是铃蟾肽。     

氟碳乳剂与右旋糖酐对犬缺血心肌侧支循环供氧的影响

本实验在14只麻醉开胸狗心脏上观察了氟碳乳剂与右旋糖酐稀释血液对心肌耗氧量与供应缺血心肌氧量关系的影响。以左室压力-时间指数(SPTI)作为心肌耗氧量的指标,根据冠脉有效侧支血流量(ECF)、PaO_2和 Hb 浓度计算供应缺血心肌的氧量。实验结果表明,低分子右旋糖酐稀释血液后,SPTI 暂时性轻度增加(稀释后30min 时较对照增加7.1±2.7%,P<0.05,稀释后60min 时增加2.8±1.2%,P>0.05),ECF 明显增多(稀释后30min 时较对照增加58.5±6.1%,P<0.01),缺血区边缘心肌氧供需关系未发生明显变化。氟碳乳剂稀释血液后,SPTI 的变化规律与右旋糖酐稀释后相同(稀释后30min 和60min 时分别较对照增加2.5±0.7%和1.9±0.8%)ECF 和 PaO_2升高(稀释后30min 时分别较对照增加53.9±6.7%和93±8.9%),供应缺血心肌的氧量显著增加,缺血区边缘心肌氧供需矛盾明显改善。     

Blocking action of Nephila clavata spider toxin on ionic currents activated by glutamate and its agonists in isolated hippocampal neurons

The blocking action ofNephila clavata spider neurotoxin, or JSTX, on ionic currents activated by L-glutamate and its agonists when applied to the membrane of neurons isolated from the rat hippocampus was investigated using a concentration clamp technique. Crude JSTX venom was found to block L-glutamate-, quisqualate, and kainate-activated ionic currents induced by activating non-N-methyl-D-aspartate (non-NMDA) membrane receptors. Following the effects of JSTX, ionic currents activated by L-glutamate and its agonists declined to 34–36% of their initial value with no recovery during JSTX washout. An active fraction of JSTX at concentrations of 10^–4–10^–5 produced almost total but partially reversible blockade of ionic currents. The action of JSTX became less effective during depolarization. The concentration dependence of JSTX-induced blockade of kainate-activated ionic currents was investigated and the velocity constants of interaction between the toxin and glutamate receptors obtained. It is postulated that JSTX interacts with chemically-operated non-NMDA ionic channels, blocking their transition into a number of their possible open states.A. A.

Argiopine,argiopinines, and pseudoargiopinines as glutamate receptor blockers in hippocampal neurons

A homologous set of low-molecular weight compounds selectively blocking ionic currents were purified from venom from the spiderArgiope lobata with a selective blocking action on ionic currents activated by applying glutamate and its agonist kainic acid (KA) to the membrane of neurons isolated from the rat hippocampus. Three groups of these compounds — argiopine, argiopinines, and pseudoargiopinines, produced voltage-dependent glutamate- and KA-activated ionic currents at concentrations of 10^–6-10^–4 M, interacting primarily with agonist-activated ionic channels without affecting K_d values of the agonist. The blocking action could be partially reversed by argiopine application but only slightly when argiopinines and pseudoargiopinines were used. Kinetics of toxin effects on Ka-activated ionic currents showed at least two exponential components with different time constants. Simple and reversed rate constants of interaction between toxins and ionic channels were estimated from the plot of the kinetics of ionic current blockade and recovery against toxin concentration. Argiopine, argiopinines, and pseudoargiopinines lend themselves to further research into glutamate receptors of the mammalian CNS employing electrophysiological and biochemical techniques.A. A.

Heterochromatic regions in different Drosophila melanogaster stocks contain similar arrangements of moderate repeats with inserted copia-like elements (MDG1)

Seven out of twenty 30–50 kb genome fragments with an MDG1 copia-like element cloned in cosmids were found to carry homologous sequences which belong to a new family of non-mobile heterochromatic moderate repeats (the HMR family). These repeats along with the MDG1 copies inserted in them are under-replicated in polytene chromosomes. Such repeats may also be located in the intercalary heterochromatin site 12E of the X chromosome. Chromosomal heterochromatic regions are enriched with one of the two main genomic variants of MDG1, MDG1^het, identifiable by EcoRI restriction. From Southern DNA blot analysis the number of MDG1^het copies and their sites within the heterochromatin are invariant in all the stocks examined, while there is not a single MDG1 site along the polytene chromosomes shared by all the stocks in question.     

在双脉冲光刺激下瞳孔系统的采样控制特性

本文用实验揭示了瞳孔对光动态反应具有采样控制特性。实验中采用各种不同时间间隔的双脉冲光,以开环的方式(Maxwellian View)刺激瞳孔,当双脉冲之间间隔较长时,瞳孔反应相当于对双脉冲光的两次脉冲分别产生瞬态收缩;当双脉冲时间间隔短于0.6s 时,其反应就成了一次瞬态收缩,与单个光脉冲所引起的瞳孔反应一样。同—受试者的多次实验结果相同,不同受试者所得结果也基本一致。故瞳孔对脉冲刺激光引起反应后,必须至少约隔0.6s 才能对另一次脉冲光产生反应,这就说明了瞳孔动态反应具有离散的采样控制特性。实验还进一步证明,瞳孔系统的控制机制是双重模式的控制:不同的刺激条件下,瞳孔反应可呈现为瞬态反应(AC)或持续反应(DC),瞬态反应的 AC 通道为离散的采样控制,持续反应的 DC 通道为连续控制。
