下丘脑外侧区注射TRH对大鼠胃酸分泌的影响

本文采用连续收集胃腔灌流法,观察下丘脑外侧区(LHA)注射促甲状腺激素释放激素(TRH)对大鼠胃酸分泌的影响,并分析TRH在LHA促进胃酸分泌的作用机制。结果表明:(1)LHA注射TRH(1μg)明显地刺激胃酸分泌;(2)预先向LHA注射酚妥拉明(10μg)、美多心安(5μg)及胃泌素抗体1μl(1:640)并不影响TRH的泌酸作用,如预先向LHA注射阿托品(5μg)则可消除TRH的泌酸效应;(3)垂体摘除及肾上腺切除均不影响TRH的泌酸作用;(4)隔下迷走神经切断后,LHA注入TRH的泌酸效应仍然出现,但持续时间显著缩短;腹腔交感神经节摘除后,TRH仍能促进胃酸分泌,但分泌量少而平稳。以上结果提示:LHA是TRH中枢泌酸效应的有关结构之一,其中枢机制是通过胆碱能M受体中介的,腹腔交感神经节和膈下迷走神经是TRH泌酸效应的传出途径。前者引起的泌酸反应出现较早且引起泌酸高峰,但持续时间短;后者则引起低平的持续分泌。     

Interaction of (Na + K + 2 Cl) cotransport and the Na/K pump in cultured chick cardiac myocytes

We have recently reported the presence of an electroneutral (Na + K + 2 Cl) cotransport mechanism that is bumetanide-sensitive and maintains Cl_i above its electrochemical equilibrium in cultured chick heart cells. In steady state, (Na + K + 2 Cl) cotransport is inwardly directed and so contributes to the Na influx that must be counterbalanced by the activity of the Na/K pump to maintain Na_i homeostasis. We now show that manipulating (Na + K + 2 Cl) cotransport by restoring Cl_o to a Cl-free solution indirectly influences Na/K pump activity because the bumetanide-sensitive recovery of a _infNa ^supi to its control level and the accompanying hyperpolarization could be blocked by 10^–4M ouabain. In another protocol, when the Na/K pump was reactivated by restoring K_o (from 0.5 mM to 5.4 mM) and removing ouabain, the recovery of a_Na was attenuated by 10^–4M bumetanide. The relatively slow rate of ouabain dissociation coupled with the activation of Na influx by (Na + K + 2 Cl) cotransport clearly establishes the interaction of these transport mechanisms in regulating Na_i. Although (Na + K + 2 Cl) cotransport is electroneutral, secondary consequences of its activity can indirectly affect the electrophysiological properties of cardiac cells.

Subfamily of submaxillary gland-specific Mup genes: chromosomal linkage and sequence comparison with liver-specific Mup genes

Mouse major urinary proteins (MUPs) are encoded by a family of ca. 35 genes that are expressed in a tissue-specific manner in several secretory organs; in the liver, in the submaxillary, sublingual, parotid and lachrymal glands, and in the skin sebaceous glands. In this paper we describe the isolation of a Mup gene, Mup-1.5a, which is expressed predominantly in the submaxillary gland of BALB/c mice. We show that Mup-1.5a is a member of a subfamily consisting of two closely related genes, both of which are closely linked to the Mup-1 locus on mouse chromosome 4. Mup-1 is the locus of a class of Mup genes (Group 1) expressed in the liver. The complete nucleotide sequence of Mup-1.5a has been determined, and was compared to a previously sequenced Group 1 Mup gene. The comparison shows that the differentially expressed Mup genes are uniformly divergent in exons, introns and in their flanking sequences. The regions of homology extend at least 5 kb into the 5' flanking region of Mup genes.     

Adaptive on-line optimizing control of bioreactor systems

Several on-line optimizing control strategies were proposed and tested by computer simulation for the efficient operation of bioreactors. The control task was divided into two, one of which was to search for the optimal operating point and passed the set point to the lower layer of which task was to make the process output follow the set point as soon as possible. It was shown to be effective for the upper layer to express the objective function as a polynomial with respect to the measurement variable and to make use of it for finding the optimum point. Noting that the major dynamic characteristics of bioreactor system is the time-varying and nonlinear nature, the adaptive type control system is in evitable. It was shown to be quite effective to use discrete type self-tuning PID controller and the optimal controller compensated for the interaction between the control loops.Application was made to the cell recycle system for the production of lactic acid and baker's yeast cultivation. I was found from the former application that the control quality can be significantly improved by incorporating the decoupling strategy into the lower layer closed-loop system. It was also found from the latter application that the initial startup period can be significantly reduced by making use of the rough mathematical model.     

Chromium (V) and hydroxyl radical formation during the glutathione reductase-catalyzed reduction of chromium (VI)

Electron spin resonance measurements provide evidence for the formation of long-lived Cr(V) intermediates in the reduction of Cr(VI) by glutathione reductase in the presence of NADPH and for the hydroxyl radical formation during the glutathione reductase catalyzed reduction of Cr(VI). Hydrogen peroxide suppresses Cr(V) and enhances the formation of hydroxyl radicals. Thus Cr(V) intermediates catalyze generation of hydroxyl radicals from hydrogen peroxide through a Fenton-like reaction. Thus the mechanism of Cr(VI) toxicity might involve the interaction between macromolecules and the hydroxyl radicals.     

辣椒素引起脊髓P物质释放及其对血压的影响

为进一步研究脊髓 P 物质(SP)在调节心血管活动中的作用,在大鼠脊髓蛛网膜下腔注射(ith)辣淑素(cap),以刺激脊髓 SP 能神经末梢释放 SP,结果引起血浆去甲肾上腺素(NA)和肾上腺素(AD)含量增高,及具有剂量依赖性的动脉血压上升,心率升高。ith 具有高度特异性的 SP 受体拮抗剂或 SP 抗血清均可阻断 cap 引起的升压效应,免疫组化测定也观察到注入的cap 剂量越大,脊髓胸段 SP 样免疫阳性反应物的致密度越低,这些观察结果支持 cap 可以引起脊髓内 SP 的释放的说法。在第一颈段(C_1)横断脊髓后 ith cap 所引起的升压效应与完整动物 ith cap 的升压效应无显著差异。以上结果提示脊髓 SP 能神经末梢释放的 SP 可以通过交感肾上腺髓质系统引起心血管兴奋效应,SP 可能是引起交感节前神经元兴奋的神经递质。     

家兔面神经后核内侧区在呼吸节律起源中的作用

从腹侧面暴露家兔延髓,脑内微量注射1%普鲁卡因阻滞面神经后核内侧区(mNRF),全部动物(n=20)一次注射(0.3—1.0μl)后即能可逆地消除呼吸节律。区域对照显示此区非常局限,范围约1.0×1.0×1.0mm。组织学检查表明为面神经后核内侧区。本文分析了 mNRF的呼吸相关神经元(RRNs)的放电形式。在 mNRF 有较多的呼气(E)神经元和呼气-吸气跨时相(E-IPS)神经元。在阻滞 mNRF 引起呼吸停止期间,观察到低位延髓背侧呼吸群(DRG)和腹侧呼吸群(VRG)尾端区 RRNs 放电的节律性消失,表现连续放电或停止放电。电刺激DRG,VRG 尾端区,只能诱发短串的膈神经放电,而不能产生节律性发放。说明这些区域的RRNs 无自动节律性活动的能力。结果表明,面神经后核内侧区与呼吸节律发生有关,它可能是呼吸节律发生器的一个重要的所在部位。     

刺激大鼠下丘脑室旁核激活的中脑中央灰质神经元对躯体传入的反应

电刺激大鼠下丘脑室旁核(PVH),在同侧中脑中央灰质(CG)内寻找逆行及顺行反应单位,然后观察它们对躯体感觉刺激的反应。实验结果表明:CG 及邻近网状结构内有10%(32/318)的单位呈逆行反应。逆行传导速度平均为0.37±0.24m/s(均数±标准差);推测这种CG→PVH 投射纤维属于细有髓或无髓神经纤维。这些单位分布于 CG 的腹外侧及背外侧亚核。50%(14/28)的逆行单位对坐骨(胫)神经的强电刺激和夹尾等损伤性刺激起反应,但对触毛或低强度的神经干刺激无明显反应。以上结果表明:外周躯体感觉,特别是损伤性信息传入 PVH 时,CG 是其中枢驿站之一。电刺激 PVH 还能顺行激活7.55(24/318)、抑制0.7%(2/318)的 CG 单位。有69%(18/26)的顺行反应单位对外周躯体神经强电刺激及夹尾起反应。提示 PVH 可能通过影响 CG神经元的活动而参与中枢痛觉的整合。
