酸敏感离子通道与脑梗死

急性脑梗死约占全部脑卒中的70%,病死率和致残率高,且极易复发。但目前针对急性脑梗死在时间窗内溶栓、抗凝等治疗手段不能从根本上切实有效地修复受损脑组织,且伴有出血等风险。寻找脑梗死形成发展的原因并予以治疗迫在眉睫。酸中毒是引起缺血性脑损伤的重要机制。大量实验研究表明,酸中毒能加重神经元的缺血性损伤,且其梗死面积与酸中毒的程度直接相关。但缺血产生的酸中毒如何引起神经元损伤的确切机制尚不明确。最近研究发现酸中毒能激活一种在中枢及周围神经中广泛存在的膜通道,即酸敏感离子通道,它对Ca2+通透,能引起细胞内Ca2+超载,同时能激活胞内酶引起细胞内蛋白质、脂类及核酸的降解,加重缺血后脑损伤。本文就酸敏感离子通道1a与脑梗死做一综述。

Taste systems of the petrosal ganglion of the rat glossopharyngeal nerve

Single unit recordings were taken from sensory ganglion cellsin the petrosal ganglion (PG) of the glossopharyngeal nerveof the rat. These taste units were examined with respect tospontaneous and evoked discharge patterns and responsivenessto a wide variety of chemical compounds, most of natural occurrence.Spontaneous activity patterns, with few exceptions, tended tobe extremely irregular with both bursting (clusters of 2–3spikes) and grouping (large groups of spikes as in evoked discharges).Most interspike interval histograms of spontaneous activitywere multimodal, similar to rat geniculate ganglion (GG) units.Evoked discharges usually displayed grouping of spikes, andlong latencies of onset and persistence of discharge after rinsewere sometimes seen. Little response was shown to nucleotidesor salts. Units responsive to amino acids tended to show largedischarge to only one or two amino acids; and the most responsiveamino acid usually varied from cell to cell. Units responsiveto alkaloids only responded to a few alkaloids with atropineand quinine being the most stimulatory. Units responsive toacids only discharged to a few of the acids tested and oftenacids of low pH elicited no discharge. Saccharin activated unitsresponsive to both sugar and alkaloids. A few units highly responsiveto both sugar and alkaloids were seen. The units were placedinto four clusters on the basis of chemicals activating themand certain neurophysiological characteristics: PG salt units,PG acid units and, tentatively, amino acid (sugar) units andX (alkaloid and alkaloid plus) units. The PG salt units didnot show the exclusive sensitivity to sodium and lithium compoundsas did the GG salt units. The PG acid units could also be differentiatedfrom the GG acid units. The petrosal amino acid and X units,on the other hand, could not be differentiated from similarunits in the rat GG.

Structural relatedness of lysis proteins from colicinogenic plasmids and icosahedral coliphages

The host-lysis-inducing functions of phi X174 protein E and MS2 protein L were recently shown to reside on the N-terminal and C-terminal halves of the two respective lysis proteins. In the present study it is shown that the small lysis proteins encoded in various colicinogenic plasmids share local sequence similarities and certain structural characteristics with the essential peptides of their coliphage-coded counterparts. Despite their dissimilar sizes and origins, it is suggested that the colicinogenic lysis proteins are functionally analogous and evolutionarily related to those of icosahedral single- stranded DNA and RNA phages.      

Effects of yohimbine and desipramine on cardiac noradrenaline release and ventricular arrhythmias during acute coronary artery occlusion and reperfusion in anesthetized dogs

Effects of yohimbine (YHMB, an alpha 2-antagonist) and desipramine (DMI, a neuronal uptake inhibitor) were compared on cardiac noradrenaline (NA) release either upon left ansa subclavia nerve stimulation during acute occlusion of the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) or upon subsequent LAD reperfusion without stimulation in anesthetized dogs. In control dogs, before LAD occlusion, coronary sinus (CS) NA output increased from 5.4 +/- 1.0 to 26.8 +/- 4.0 ng/min (p less than 0.05) upon stimulation (2 Hz, 30 s). The response to stimulation remained unchanged 25 min after LAD occlusion. During reperfusion 60 min after occlusion, the output of CS-NA and lactate increased from 6.1 +/- 0.8 to 51.3 +/- 19.4 ng/min (p less than 0.05) and from 2.7 +/- 0.5 to 6.7 +/- 1.3 mg/min (p less than 0.05), respectively. In dogs treated with YHMB, the stimulation-induced increase in NA output was potentiated at least fourfold (p less than 0.05) either before or during LAD occlusion, but not during reperfusion. In dogs receiving DMI, stimulation-induced CS-NA output was enhanced to a similar extent (approximately twofold, p less than 0.05) either before or during occlusion, while reperfusion-induced NA output was markedly potentiated by approximately ninefold (p less than 0.05). Maximum dP/dt of left ventricular pressure remained unchanged upon reperfusion in all groups. The total arrhythmic ratio in the drug-treated groups did not significantly differ from the ratio in control dogs upon either stimulation or reperfusion. The data suggest that an abrupt increase in NA output upon reperfusion may result from a washout of NA locally accumulated in the ischemic and (or) peri-ischemic region during the preceding occlusion period, and that NA thus released does not have substantial hemodynamic effects. The results indicate that in the presence of YHMB or DMI, the potentiated increase in NA release in response to either nerve stimulation during LAD occlusion or to reperfusion without stimulation did not aggravate ventricular arrhythmia, most probably owing to the antiarrhythmic properties of these substances.     

氟碳乳剂与右旋糖酐对犬缺血心肌侧支循环供氧的影响

本实验在14只麻醉开胸狗心脏上观察了氟碳乳剂与右旋糖酐稀释血液对心肌耗氧量与供应缺血心肌氧量关系的影响。以左室压力-时间指数(SPTI)作为心肌耗氧量的指标,根据冠脉有效侧支血流量(ECF)、PaO_2和 Hb 浓度计算供应缺血心肌的氧量。实验结果表明,低分子右旋糖酐稀释血液后,SPTI 暂时性轻度增加(稀释后30min 时较对照增加7.1±2.7%,P<0.05,稀释后60min 时增加2.8±1.2%,P>0.05),ECF 明显增多(稀释后30min 时较对照增加58.5±6.1%,P<0.01),缺血区边缘心肌氧供需关系未发生明显变化。氟碳乳剂稀释血液后,SPTI 的变化规律与右旋糖酐稀释后相同(稀释后30min 和60min 时分别较对照增加2.5±0.7%和1.9±0.8%)ECF 和 PaO_2升高(稀释后30min 时分别较对照增加53.9±6.7%和93±8.9%),供应缺血心肌的氧量显著增加,缺血区边缘心肌氧供需矛盾明显改善。     

Stimulation of poly(ADP-ribose) synthesis by free radicals in C3H10T1/2 cells: relationship with NAD metabolism and DNA breakage

We have studied the effect of H2O2 and O2- produced by xanthine and xanthine oxidase on NAD catabolism, poly(ADP-ribose) synthesis, and production of DNA single-strand breaks in C3H10T1/2 cells. The results show a correlation between the induction of DNA single-strand breaks, the decrease of NAD pool, and the accumulation of polymer. New techniques, based on affinity chromatography and reversed-phase high pressure liquid chromatography, have allowed an accurate determination of polymer contents and showed a 20-fold stimulation of polymer biosynthesis induced by active oxygen species. Inhibition experiments performed with 3-aminobenzamide have shown that the decrease in NAD levels after exposure of cells to active oxygen species was caused by stimulation of poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation and of another cellular process.
