尼群地平对实验性糖尿病大鼠心肌收缩性的影响

腹腔注射链脲佐霉素（６５ｍｇ／ｋｇ）诱发Ｗｉｓｔａｒ大鼠糖尿病。糖尿病发病４周后,向饲料中加尼群地平（３０ｍｇ·ｋｇ－１·ｄ－１）。结果表明,糖尿病４周时大鼠心室舒张功能首先受损,８周后心室舒张和收缩功能均明显受累。尼群地平处理对糖尿病大鼠的心肌收缩性有一定的改善作用。提示尼群地平对大鼠糖尿病性心肌病有一定有益作用。     

零下低温对杂交杨树皮层膜脂组成的影响

以不耐寒的美洲黑杨（Ｐｏｐｕｌｕｓｄｅｌｔｏｉｄｅｓｃｖ．“Ｌｕｘ”Ｉ－６９／５５,父本）和耐寒性较强的欧美杨（Ｐ．ｅｕｒａｍｅｒｉｃａｎａｃｌｃｖ．Ｉ－４５／５１,母本）的４个杂交Ｆ＿１代无性系（９５杨、５５９杨、６００杨和１３８１杨）为材料,分析了零下低温寒潮前后枝条皮层的脂质组成。结果表明,寒潮影响下,皮层中磷脂含量增加而组成基本不变,膜脂脂肪酸组成的变化规律是：寒潮前脂肪酸不饱和指数（ＩＵＦＡ）值大的无性系,寒潮前后的ＩＵＦＡ值变化量小;寒潮前ＩＵＦＡ值较小的无性系,寒潮前后ＩＵＦＡ值变化量较大。本文借用力学概念,提出相对抗性概念,给出杨树无性系的相对抗性序列。序列表明Ｆ＿１代无性系的耐寒性已较不耐寒的父本提高,这与田间观察基本一致。     

草鱼出血病病毒多肽的荧光染色

将草鱼出血病病毒（ＧｒａｓｓＣａｒｐＨｅｍｏｒｒｈａｇｅＶｉｒｕｓ,ＧＣＨＶ）置于还原性的溶液中,然后加入等体积的ＮａＨＣＯ３配制的异硫氰酸荧光索溶液进行多肽的标记,再经ＳＤＳ－ＰＡＧＥ分析,在紫外灯下即可检测到ＧＣＨＶ全部的１１个结构多肽的荧光带。该方法最小检测量为５００ｎｇ,由该方法回收的多肽具有抗原活性,可作为抗原进行免疫学实验。

穴位激光照射对兔子宫类固醇激素受体的影响

对兔用Ｈｅ－Ｎｅ激光照射穴位,照射外生殖器,用类固醇激素受体测定法测定子宫雌二醇受体（ＥＲ）和孕酮受体（ＰＲ）含量。照射穴位后部分实验组的ＥＲ和ＰＲ浓度上升,与正常对照组相比较有显著或极显著差别（Ｐ＜０．０５,Ｐ＜０．０１）,ＥＲ提高１．７－３．２倍,ＰＲ提高２．７－３．７倍。实验结果提示激光可通过类固醇激素受体浓度的提高,在受体水平上影响机体代谢。     

缢蛏碱性磷酸酶胍溶液中分子折叠与活力变化研究

报道了缢蛏碱性磷酸酶（简称ＡＬＰ）经不同浓度盐酸胍处理时酶的分子构象所发生的变化以及酶变化和失活的动力学过程。在胍中酶荧光发射峰强度下降,紫外差光谱在２４６ｎｍ和２８５ｎｍ处出现２个负峰,ＣＤ谱中酶的α螺旋度下降,且随浓度增大,变化程度也加大。动力学研究表明,酶在０．５ｍｏｌ／Ｌ、１．０ｍｏｌ／Ｌ、２．０ｍｏｌ／Ｌ３．０ｍｏｌ／Ｌ、４．０ｍｏｌ／Ｌ盐酸胍中的变性速度常数分别为３．２１×１０~（－４）ｓ~（－１）、６．３８×１０~（－４）ｓ~（－１）、２．１７×１０~（－３）ｓ~（－１）、２．３３×１０~（－３）ｓ~９－１）、５．１７×１０~（－３）ｓ~（－１）;而酶在相应盐酸胍中的失活速度常数分别为２．３３×１０~（－４）ｓ~（－１）、３．５７×１０~（－４）ｓ~（－１）、５．８６×１０~（－４）ｓ~（－１）、１．１４×１０~（－３）ｓ~（－１）、３．４５×１０~（－３）ｓ~（－１）;表现为失活与构象伸展变化基本平行。

Increase in cytoskeletal actin induced by inositol 1,4-bisphosphate in saponin-permeated pig platelets

Inositol 1,4-bisphosphate (IP₂), which rapidly accumulates during cell activation, strongly stimulates an increase in cytoskeletal actin in saponin-permeated platelets, and the effect is insensitive to 5′-Chloro-5′-deoxyadenosine. Within 10 s, the amount of cytoskeletal actin in platelets rapidly increases by 41%, and then slowly increases further. IP₂ induces the increase in cytoskeletal actin in a dose-dependent manner. The half-maximal effect requires approximately 2 μM of IP₂ Inositol 1,4,5- triphosphate, the messenger for Ca²⁺ release, causes the increase in cytoskeletal actin, but is less effective than IP₂. Inositol 1-monophosphate and inositol 2-monophosphate have no effect on cytoskeletal actin. Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate, which has been shown to activate IP₃ 5′-phosphatase through protein kinase C, stimulates the increase in cytoskeletal actin. Spermine, an inhibitor of IP₃ 5′-phosphatase, inhibits the thrombin stimulated increase in cytoskeletal actin. These results suggest that IP₂ may be a messenger that controls the organization of actin filaments during cell activation. This study presents the first evidence for IP₂ as a messenger during cell activation.     

Localization of neuropeptide Y and atrial natriuretic peptide in the endothelial cells of human umibilical blood vessels

The localization of neuropeptide Y (NPY) and atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) in the endothelial cells of human umbilical blood vessels was studied using the pre-embedding peroxidase-antiperoxidase (PAP) technique for electron microscopy and avidin-biotin-complex (ABC) immunostaining for endothelial cells cultured from umbilical vein. Subpopulations of NPY- and ANP-immunoreactive endothelial cells were present in term umbilical vein and artery. The umbilical vein contained more positive cells than the artery. The percentage of NPY- and ANP-immunoreactive umbilical vein cells in culture was 32% and 44%, respectively, out of a total of 3013 cells examined. The possibility that these potent vasoactive substances located in the endothelial cells of the non-innervated umbilical vessels are involved in the local regulation of blood flow is discussed.
