携带杀白细胞素基因金黄色葡萄球菌的研究进展

杀白细胞素(Panton-Valentine leukocidin,PVL)是金葡菌产生的重要外毒素之一,PVL在其感染所致的坏死性皮肤损害和坏死性肺炎等疾病中起重要作用,并且能在社区和医院传播。现在国内外对PVL阳性金葡菌的研究日益重视,本文就其感染的致病机制、感染状况、检测方法和防治措施等问题研究作一陈述。

河蚌心肌纤维的光镜与电镜结合观察

作者自1989年9月至1990年6月,通过光镜和电镜,对河蚌心肌纤维的一般结构和超微结构进行了形态学观察研究,发现河蚌的心肌纤维细长,无肌节和周期性横纹,排列不规则,肌纤维有分枝,在二条纤维的连接处有类似闰盘的结构。在肌浆内粗丝与细丝排列平行有序,其间散布着密体或密斑,线粒体发达且具有明显的嵴,在线粒体之间发现有脂褐素颗粒存在,线粒体周围分布有较多的糖元。     

电刺激大鼠尾核头部镇痛的中枢效应—[^3H]—2脱氧...

Sokoloff's 2-deoxyglucose (2-DG) autoradiographic technique was used to identify changes of glucose metabolic rate in the rat brain following unilateral stimulation of the head of the caudate nucleus. The results were as follows. The local glucose metabolic rate after noxious stimulation was increased in the somatosensory cortex, cingulate cortex, ventroposterior and parafascicular nucleus of the thalamus, septal area, habenular nucleus, head of caudate nucleus, periaqueductal gray (PAG) and dorsal raphe nucleus (P < 0.05). After stimulating the head of the caudate nucleus, the local glucose metabolic rate of nucleus raphe magnus (rm) and nucleus paragigantocellularis (pgcl) was increased significantly and that of the PAG and dorsal raphe nucleus had a tendency to increase, while stimulation of the head of caudate nucleus could partially abolish the increased glucose metabolic rate in the somatosensory cortex, cingulate cortex, ventroposterior and parafascicular nucleus of the thalamus, septal area and habenular nucleus as induced by noxious stimulation. These results suggest that caudate stimulation is able to depress the activation of some brain structures related to nociception and to activate those related to antinociception. The pgcl, rm, PAG and dorsal raphe nucleus might be the key structures participating in the caudate stimulation produced analgesia.     

高血压大鼠主动脉条血管反应性的变化

血管对加压物质反应性的增高是高血压发病机制中的一个重要方面,但其机制迄今尚未完全阐明。近年来关于血管组织内肾素-血管紧张素系统在高血压发生中的作用受到广泛注意,然而有关实验报道还不多。本实验对高血压大鼠主动脉组织中去甲肾上腺素(NE)与血管紧张素Ⅱ(AⅡ)的含量及其对此两种物质的反应性进行了研究,以探讨高血压发病的血管机制。
