Biological monitoring of deltamethrin in sprayers by HPLC method.

Using HPLC, the authors had investigated the three metabolites of deltamethrin (DM) in the urine of spraymen and one suicide, namely: dibromovinyl-dimethylcyclopropane carboxylic acid (Br2A), 3-phenoxybenzyl-hydroxy-ethyl acetate (PHE) and 3-phenoxyl-benzoic acid (BA). Br2A was chosen as the biological monitoring parameter for DM exposed people, and the urine samples of one suicide and 11 farmers sprayed DM or DM plus methamidophos were examined for Br2A quantitatively which was detected in 8 of 11 sprayers and in the suicide case.

Syntheses of cyclic prodrugs of RGD peptidomimetics with various macrocyclic ring sizes: evaluation of physicochemical, transport and antithrombic properties.

The objective of this work was to synthesize cyclic prodrugs 1a-d of RGD peptidomimetics 2a-d with various ring sizes (n[CH2] = 1, 3, 5 and 7) and to evaluate the effect of ring size on their transport, physicochemical, enzymatic stability, and antithrombic properties. The syntheses of cyclic prodrugs 1a-d were achieved by converging two key intermediates, Boc-Phe-O-CH2-OCO-OpNP (5) and H2N-(CH2)n-CO-Asp(OBzl)-OTce (8a-d), to give linear precursors Boc-Phe-O-CH2-OCO-HN-(CH2)n-CO-Asp(OBzl)-OTce (9a-d). The N- and C-terminus protecting groups were removed from 9a-d to give 10a-d. Linear precursors 10a-d were cyclized, and the remaining Bzl-protecting group was removed to produce cyclic prodrugs 1a-d in around 20% overall yield. The linear RGD peptidomimetics (2a-d) were synthesized using standard Boc-amino acid chemistry by solution-phase method. Increasing the ring size by adding methylene groups also increases the hydrophobicity of the cyclic prodrugs and parent RGD peptidomimetics. The transport properties of cyclic prodrugs 1c and 1d were 2.6- and 4.4-fold better than those of parent compounds 2c and 2d, respectively. These results suggest that increasing the hydrophobicity of the cyclic prodrugs and parent RGD peptidomimetics enhanced their transport properties. The hydrodynamic radii of the cyclic prodrugs were also smaller than those of their respective parent compounds, suggesting that the change in size may contribute to their transport properties. The chemical stability of the cyclic prodrugs was affected by the ring size, and the cyclic prodrug with the larger ring size (i.e. 1d) was more stable than the smaller one (i.e. 1a). All the cyclic prodrugs were more stable at pH 4 than at pH 7 and 10. Prodrug-to-drug conversion could be induced by isolated esterase as well as esterase found in human plasma. An increase in the length of methylene group (n[CH2] = 1, 3, 5, 7) enhanced the antithrombic activity of the prodrugs and the parent compounds. In summary, the ring size of cyclic prodrugs affected their transport, physicochemical, and antithrombic properties.     

培养大鼠颈上神经节单烟碱受体通道及突触电流的膜片钳研究

在培养１─２周的大鼠颈上神经节交感神经元标本上,用膜片钳技术记录了单烟碱受体通道电流及胆碱能突触电流,并分析了它们之间的关系。单烟碱受体通道至少有三种亚导状态,即１５ｐＳ,２７ｐＳ,３８ｐＳ,其中以２７ｐＳ最常见。通道有两种开放模式,即单个短促开放与长串开放。对应的平均开放时间分别为τ＿１＝１．７１ｍｓ,τ＿２＝１２．２４ｍｓ。对自发突触电流的分析表明,其下降相的衰减时间常数（τ＝１５．７±１ｍｓ）与上述长串开放的持续时间相当,提示在突触传递过程中,突触前末梢释放的ＡＣｈ引起了突触后神经元烟碱受体通道的长串开放。     

脏器微血管对荧光素钠通透性的实验方法

大鼠颈动脉注射１％ＦｌＮａ,荧光显微镜下活体观察肠系膜微血管血流状态及ＦｌＮａ的渗出情况,并在不同时间点经股动脉采血,测定血浆内ＦｌＮａ浓度随时间的变化,利用组织匀浆测定不同脏器中ＦｌＮａ的分布,再辅以冰冻切片进行观察。活体观察发现,ＦｌＮａ注入体内后,经微血管迅速向周围组织渗出,最后汇集于淋巴管,血浆及组织匀浆ＦｌＮａ浓度的测定表明,ＦｌＮａ浓度随时间的变化呈指数衰减,各脏器ＦｌＮａ的分布极不相同。冰冻切片也显示了同样的分布差别。这些结果表明,我们所建立的方法可直观、定量地反映ＦｌＮａ在微血管的通透情况。

采用５００μｇ／ｍｌ皂素溶液浸浴大鼠右室乳头肌３０ｍｉｎ制备蜕膜心肌纤维标本。经撤除ＭｇＡＴＰ法检验,肌膜通透性明显增高。用含不同浓度Ｃａ￣(２＋)（以Ｃａ￣(２＋)浓度负对数ｐＣａ表示）的激活液进行顺序激活,记录Ｃａ￣(２＋)激活张力,其张力－ｐＣａ关系曲线描述了肌钙蛋白（ＴＮ）对Ｃａ￣(２＋)的亲和特性;曲线中位值ｐＣａ＿(５０)（即产生５０％最大张力所对应的ｐＣａ）是反映ＴＮＣａ￣(２＋)敏感性的定量指标。本实验观察到大鼠右室乳头肌张力－ｐＣａ关系曲线呈Ｓ形,测得ｐＣａ＿(５０)为５．７２７±０．０８６（ｎ＝１６）;撤除激活液中磷酸肌酸和磷酸肌酸激酶,张力－ｐＣａ曲线左移位,ｐＣａ＿(５０)增高至６．１９４±０．１２１（Ｐ＜０．０１）。     

硒对培养人胚肝细胞Ⅲ型前胶原,羟脯氨酸合成的影响

原代培养人胚肝细胞经１．１５６×１０￣(－７）ｍｏｌ／Ｌ硒预处理４ｈ,加入２０ｍｍｏｌ／Ｌ四氟化碳作用２０ｈ,观察硒对其Ⅲ型前胶原（ＰＣⅢ）和羟脯氨酸（Ｈｙｐ）生成的影响。结果培养液中ＰＣⅢ水平、细胞内Ｈｙｐ含量及细胞内外丙二醛（ＭＤＡ）水平均降低,与未加硒对照组比较差别有显著性（Ｐ＜０．０１）。而硒谷腕甘肽过氧化物酶（Ｓｅ－ＧＳＨ－ＰＸ）活性则较对照组显著增高（Ｐ＜０．００１）,且ＰＣⅢ水平与Ｓｅ－ＧＳＨ－Ｐ＿Ｘ／ＭＤＡ比值呈负相关（ｒ＝－０．９１５６,Ｐ＜０．０１）。提示硒可提高Ｓｅ－ＧＳＨ－Ｐ＿Ｘ／ＭＤＡ比值,抑制脂质过氧化激发的肝细胞胶原合成。

以人工合成多肽为抗原的戊型肝炎病毒抗体检测方法的建立和评价

酶联法是ＨＥＶ感染的主要检测方法,多采用基因表达产物为抗原。近来由于人工合成多肽抗原克服了基因重组抗原制备复杂、非特异结构多、难以纯化的缺点,已广泛用于多种病毒感染的检测。根据已发表的ＨＥＶ氨基酸序列的保守性及亲水性等特点,设计合成了两个多肽ＥＳＰ１和ＥＳＰ２,分别位于ＯＲＦ２和ＯＲＦ３区,以此为混合抗原建立了检测ＨＥＶ抗体的间接ＥＬＬＳＡ法,与市售优质试剂比较,其阳性符合率为９７．７５％,阴性符合率为９９．４３％,总符合率为９８．８６％。该方法灵敏度高、特异性强、安全快速,是检测ＨＥＶ感染和流行病学调查的理想方法。
