The effect of methamphetamine on morphine analgesia (tail-flick assay) was studied in non-tolerant mice and in mice made acutely tolerant to morphine following a single injection of 100 mg/kg morphine. The analgesic potency of morphine was increased in non-tolerant and tolerant mice to the same extent by 3.2 mg/kg methamphetamine (3.3 and 4.4 fold increases, respectively). In contrast, the ED50's for morphine analgesia and naloxone-precipitated jumping in mice pretreated with either 100 mg/kg morphine or both morphine and 3.2 mg/kg methamphetamine were not significantly different, indicating that methamphetamine had no effect on the development of acute morphine tolerance and dependence. Although methamphetamine had no effect on the development of acute tolerance to morphine, 4-day pretreatment with methamphetamine produced cross-tolerance to morphine analgesia. However, cross-tolerance to morphine was not accompanied by enchanced sensitivity to naloxone. 相似文献

The primary regulator of ecdysone biosynthesis by insect prothoracic glands is the prothoracicotropic hormone. However, it now appears that other factors, secondary regulators, may modulate prothoracic gland activity. One such factor has been isolated from the haemolymph of Manduca larvae. This haemolymph factor stimulates in vitro ecdysone synthesis by larval and pupal prothoracic glands by approx. 5-fold. It has an apparent mol. wt of ~330 kD, is protease-sensitive and is heat labile, the latter clearly distinguishing it from the prothoracicotropic hormone. Further, its steroidogenic effects and those of prothoracicotropic hormone are additive. Treatment of larval or pupal prothoracic glands with both moieties simultaneously effects an approx. 10-fold increase in ecdysone synthesis. The haemolymph titre of the stimulatory factor is low at commitment of the last-larval instar, then increases by approx. 3-fold later in the instar during pharate-pupal development. This increase in the titre is sufficient to effect a significant increase in prothoracic gland activity that could be physiologically important. Thus, it appears that the fluctuating level of this haemolymph stimulatory factor may act in conjunction with prothoracicotropic hormone to regulate the haemolymph ecdysteroid titre by modulating the ecdysone biosynthetic activity of the prothoracic glands. 相似文献

Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) was performed at the University of Missouri Research Reactor in mice bearing CT26 colon carcinoma flank tumors and the results were compared with previously performed studies with mice bearing EMT6 breast cancer flank tumors. Mice were implanted with CT26 tumors subcutaneously in the caudal flank and were given two separate tail vein injections of unilamellar liposomes composed of cholesterol, 1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycer-3-phosphocholine, and K[nido-7-CH3(CH2)15–7,8-C2B9H11] in the lipid bilayer and encapsulated Na3[1-(2`-B10H9)-2-NH3B10H8] within the liposomal core. Mice were irradiated 30 hours after the second injection in a thermal neutron beam for various lengths of time. The tumor size was monitored daily for 72 days. Despite relatively lower tumor boron concentrations, as compared to EMT6 tumors, a 45 minute neutron irradiation BNCT resulted in complete resolution of the tumors in 50% of treated mice, 50% of which never recurred. Median time to tumor volume tripling was 38 days in BNCT treated mice, 17 days in neutron-irradiated mice given no boron compounds, and 4 days in untreated controls. Tumor response in mice with CT26 colon carcinoma was markedly more pronounced than in previous reports of mice with EMT6 tumors, a difference which increased with dose. The slope of the dose response curve of CT26 colon carcinoma tumors is 1.05 times tumor growth delay per Gy compared to 0.09 times tumor growth delay per Gy for EMT6 tumors, indicating that inherent radiosensitivity of tumors plays a role in boron neutron capture therapy and should be considered in the development of clinical applications of BNCT in animals and man. 相似文献

We present a theory of the origin and evolution of infant-directed song, a form of music found in many cultures. After examining the ancestral ecology of parent-infant relations, we propose that infant-directed song arose in an evolutionary arms race between parents and infants, stemming from the dynamics of parent-offspring conflict. We describe testable predictions that follow from this theory, consider some existing evidence for them, and entertain the possibility that infant-directed song could form the basis for the development of other, more complex forms of music. 相似文献

Effects and the mechanism of the antiplatelet actions of beclobrinic acid, free acid form of a new hypolipidemic agent beclobrate [(+)-2-[d-(P-chlorophenyl)p-tolyl)oxy)-2-methyl-butyrate), were examined using human platelets. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) which has been prelabeled with (14C)-serotonin was incubated with beclobrinic acid (BBA) for one minute before the addition of various agonists. BBA (0.1-1.5 mM) inhibited platelet aggregation and serotonin secretion induced by ADP, epinephrine, arachidonic acid and collagen in a concentration dependent manner. BBA also inhibited arachidonic acid-induced production of malondialdehyde (MDA), a byproduct of prostaglandins, in a concentration dependent manner. However, up to 1.0 mM BBA did not inhibit platelet aggregation induced by U46619, a stable analog of prostaglandin H2. In other experiments BBA also blocked thrombin-induced release of (3H)-arachidonic acid from platelet phospholipids. These findings suggest that: (a) BBA inhibits platelet aggregation and serotonin secretion by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis at two steps. First by interfering in the release of arachidonic acid from platelet phospholipids and second by inhibiting its conversion into prostaglandins; and (b) BBA does not inhibit the action of prostaglandins on human platelets. 相似文献

Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women worldwide, with a developmental process spanning decades. The malignant cells recruit a variety of cells including fibroblasts, endothelial cells, immune cells, and adipocytes, creating the tumor microenvironment. The tumor microenvironment has emerged as active participants in breast cancer progression and response to treatment through autocrine and paracrine interaction with the malignant cells. Adipose tissue is abundant in the breast cancer microenvironment; interactions with cancer cells create cancer-associated adipocytes which produce a variety of adipokines that influence breast cancer initiation, metastasis, angiogenesis, and cachexia. Interleukin (IL)-6 has emerged as key compound significantly produced by breast cancer cells and adipocytes, with the potential of inducing proliferation, epithelial-mesenchymal phenotype, stem cell phenotype, angiogenesis, cachexia, and therapeutic resistance in breast cancer cells. Our aim is to present a brief knowledge of IL-6’s role in breast cancer. This review summarizes our current understanding of the breast microenvironment, with emphasis on adipocytes as key players in breast cancer tumorigenesis. The effects of key adipocytes such as leptin, adipokines, TGF-b, and IL-6 are discussed. Finally, we discuss the role of IL-6 in various aspects of cancer progression. 相似文献

Cytotoxicity of immune lymph node cells in experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE) was maximal 9 days after injection of encephalitogenic emulsion. The ability of these cells to passively transfer EAE was also maximal at this time. Immune spleen cells were more cytotoxic than lymph node cells 9 days after injection; however, these cells did not passively transfer EAE. Twelve days after injection of encephalitogenic emulsion immune spleen cells passively transferred EAE with resulting mild histopathologic lesions. At this time the spleen cells were 50% more cytotoxic than comparable lymph node cells. Cyclophosphamide suppressed the development of clinical EAE and the development of cytotoxic lymphoid cells. It also reduced clinical signs and cytotoxic activity of lymph node cells. Spleen cell cytotoxic activity was enhanced by Cyclophosphamide. It was concluded that cytotoxic activity of lymph node and spleen cells was correlated with the ability of these cells to produce EAE. Lymph node cell populations differed qualitatively and/or quantitatively from immune spleen cell populations in EAE. Capacity to passively transfer EAE coincided with the maximal Cytotoxicity of the lymphoid cells from each tissue. 相似文献
