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。     

大麻叶蜂的研究

大麻叶蜂是安徽麻区大麻上的主要害虫之一.单食性,以幼虫咀食大麻叶片形成孔洞和缺刻,严重时仅残留叶柄和主叶脉,致使麻皮产量锐减.据室内饲养及结合田间定点观察,大麻叶蜂在安徽六安每年发生二代,以老熟幼虫于土内结茧越冬.两性或孤雌生殖,幼虫六龄、三龄前食量小,是药剂防治的有利时机,幼虫有趋嫩性和假死性. 室内测定和田间试验表明,喷洒杀螟松、乐果、西维因和敌敌畏1,000倍液,对三龄前幼虫有很好的效果,特别是杀螟松效果更佳,杀虫快速,药效期长,即使对高龄幼虫仍有良好的效果.     

Estrogen influences dolichyl phosphate distribution among glycolipid pools in mouse uteri

The steroid hormone 17 beta-estradiol dramatically induces uterine N-linked glycoprotein assembly [Dutt, A., Tang, J.-P., Welply, J. K., & Carson, D. D. (1986) Endocrinology (Baltimore) 118, 661-673]. To determine the role that dolichyl phosphate availability plays in this induction, we studied the effects of estrogen priming on the content of dolichyl phosphate and the distribution of dolichyl phosphate among various glycolipids in uteri. Dolichol-linked saccharides were metabolically labeled to equilibrium with either [3H]glucosamine or [3H]mannose and extracted from primary explants of uterine tissue. The amount of dolichol-linked saccharide was calculated from the specific radioactivity determined for the corresponding sugar nucleotides extracted from the tissues. The major dolichol-linked saccharides identified were mannosylphosphoryldolichol (MPD), oligosaccharylpyrophosphoryldolichol (OSL), and N,N'-diacetylchitobiosylpyrophosphoryldolichol (CBL). Estrogen increased the levels of MPD and OSL 4-fold; however, CBL levels did not change. After 3 days of treatment, the levels of these glycolipids were very similar to those in uteri from pregnant mice. Remarkably, MPD constituted 90-95% of dolichol-linked saccharides detected under all conditions. The tissue contents of total dolichyl phosphate and alkali-labile dolichyl phosphate, presumably MPD, were estimated by liquid chromatography. The levels of alkali-labile dolichyl phosphate determined in this way were in good agreement with the values estimated for MPD by metabolic labeling; moreover, alkali-labile dolichyl phosphate constituted 50-98% of the total dolichyl phosphate pool. The variations in MPD content depended upon the steroid hormone influence, most notably that of estrogen.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)     

Analysis of mutation in human cells by using an Epstein-Barr virus shuttle system.

We developed highly sensitive shuttle vector systems for detection of mutations formed in human cells using autonomously replicating derivatives of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). EBV vectors carrying the bacterial lacI gene as the target for mutation were established in human cells and later returned to Escherichia coli for rapid detection and analysis of lacI mutations. The majority of the clonal cell lines created by establishment of the lacI-EBV vector show spontaneous LacI- frequencies of less than 10(-5) and are suitable for studies of induced mutation. The ability to isolate clonal lines represents a major advantage of the EBV vectors over transiently replicating shuttle vectors (such as those derived from simian virus 40) for the study of mutation. The DNA sequence changes were determined for 61 lacI mutations induced by exposure of one of the cell lines to N-nitroso-N-methylurea. A total of 33 of 34 lacI nonsense mutations and 26 of 27 missense mutations involve G X C to A X T transitions. These data provide support for the mutational theory of cancer.     

刺激杏仁基底外侧核对外侧缰核神经元单位放电的影响

用玻璃微电极细胞外记录大鼠外侧缰核(LHN)神经元的单位放电。共记录了110个神经元。其中痛兴奋神经元(LHPE)75个;痛抑制神经元(LHPI)11个;广动力型神经元2个;无反应神经元17个;此外还有5个对躯体与内脏伤害性刺激反应不同的神经元。电刺激杏仁基底外侧核(以下简称杏仁核,AMG)对LHPE和LHPI的自发放电主要产生抑制作用,分别占总数的81.1％和72.7％,并抑制其对伤害性刺激的反应;对无反应神经元和广动力型神经元无明显影响。AMG内微量注射吗啡能抑制LHPE的伤害性刺激反应,但对其自发放电无明显影响。微量注射纳洛酮则可增加LHPE的自发放电频率,并加强其对伤害性刺激的反应。注射纳洛酮还可以取消电针对LHPE的伤害性刺激反应的抑制作用。     

刺激兔迷走神经引起的压抑心室纤颤作用

单个期前刺激引起急性缺血心脏能终止的心室纤颤。电刺激左侧颈迷走神经外周端可以缩短心室纤颤的持续时间。静脉注射β受体阻滞剂心得安后,刺激迷走神经对心室纤颤的作用消失。实验表示增加迷走神经的紧张性可能对终止室颤起有益作用。     

冷冻或切除小脑蚓部山顶(Culmen)对豚鼠“踏步自动作用”(Stepping automatism)的影响

本研究探讨部分冷冻或切除小脑蚓部(vermis)对整体豚鼠“踏步自动作用”(steppingautomatism)的影响。“踏步自动作用”由我们近年来发现的诱发踏步物质(SIS)(4-R-2,2,5,5-四(三氟甲基)-咪唑啉)所引起。结果表明部分冷冻或切除小脑蚓部的山顶(culmen,Ⅴ和Ⅳ叶)和中央叶(Centralis,Ⅲa,b)明显增强豚鼠的“踏步自动作用”。冷冻小脑不能触发,但仅能调控“踏步自动作用”。这种调控作用对自动化程度差的弱“踏步自动作用”特别显著。蚓部山顶(Ⅴ叶为主)同时调控左右前肢踏步,而一侧蚓部山顶及其半球则主要调控同侧前肢踏步。此外,本研究的结果表明当介面温度(冷冻头和小脑幕间)致冷至5℃—0℃左右,冷冻小脑便可基本模拟部分切除小脑效应。
