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。     

黑龙江省三江平原丹顶鹤的数量分布

在地面调查的基础上,我们使用Y-11轻型飞机对黑龙江省三江平原地区的丹顶鹤的数量分布近行了调查,调查时飞行高度80米,航速140公里/小时,续航里程共3748公里。调查结果表明,丹顶鹤在三江平原主要分布在8个地区,其中嘟噜河下游、洪河自然保护区、七星河流域和兴凯湖低地是主要繁殖地,总数量共309只。     

Renal oncocytoma: origin from the collecting duct

The histo- and cytogenesis of two cases of renal oncocytoma have been studied by cytomorphological and cytochemical methods. Transitions from collecting ducts into oncocytic tubules were observed at the light and electron microscopic levels. The fine structure of the oncocytes in tubules and tumors is described in detail. Cytochemically, the oncocytic tubules and oncocytomas share many characteristics with the distal nephron, especially the collecting ducts. A striking difference is the enhanced activity of succinic dehydrogenase which corresponds to the increase in the number of mitochondria in oncocytes. All the results suggest that renal oncocytoma originates from the collecting duct.     

The cytotaxonomy ofEmilia spp. (Asteraceae: Senecioneae) occurring in Brazil

Analysis of several populations in a large part of the distribution area of the genusEmilia in Brazil has revealed only two species: the diploidE. sonchifolia and the tetraploidE. fosbergii. The more widely reportedE. coccinea was not found. They show a karyotype constancy in morphology and chromosome number (2n = 10 and 2n = 20, respectively), C-banding pattern and number of secondary constrictions. Some indications were found thatE. fosbergii may be an allopolyploid and that its ancestors had different genome sizes.     

Gating properties of channels formed by colicin Ia in planar lipid bilayer membranes

Summary Colicin Ia forms voltage-dependent channels when incorporated into planar lipid bilayers. A membrane containing many Colicin Ia channels shows a conductance which is turned on when high positive voltages (>+10 mV) are applied to thecis side (side to which the protein is added). The ionic current flowing through the membrane in response to a voltage step shows at first an exponential and then a linear rise with time. The relationship between the steady-state conductance, achieved immediately after the exponential portion, and voltage is S-shaped and is adequately fit by a Boltzmann distribution. The time constant () of the exponential is also dependent on voltage, and the relation between these two parameters is asymmetric aroundV _o (voltage at which half of the channels are open). In both cases the steepness of the voltage dependence, a consequence of the number of effective gating particles (n) present in the channel, is greatly influenced by the pH of the bathing solutions. Thus, increasing the pH leads to a reduction inn, while acidic pH's have the opposite effects. This result is obtained either by changing the pH on both sides of the membrane or on only one side, be itcis orrans. On the other hand, changing pH on only one side by addition of an impermeant buffer fails to induce any change inn. At the single-channel level, pH had an effect both on the unitary conductance, doubling it in going from pH 4.5 to 8.2, as well as on the fraction of time the channels stay open,F _(v). For a given voltage,F _(v) is clearly diminished by increasing the pH. This titration of the voltage sensitivity leads to the conclusion that gating in the Colicin Ia molecule is accomplished by charged amino-acid residues present in the protein molecule. Our results also support the notion that these charged groups are inside the aqueous portion of the channel.

Chemotherapy of Aspergillus fumigatus keratitis: An experimental study

An experimental Keratitis study of Aspergillus fumigatus was performed in 130 rabbits divided into 12 groups of ten animals each. Three antifungal drugs (myconazole, amphotericin B and pimaricin) were tested using two procedures (topical drops and subconjunctival injections) and two different concentrations (500 and 10 000 times the MIC). In each case, the drugs were applied every 3 h starting 14 h after inoculation. Miconazole was useful at 10 mg/ ml concentration by topical drops and subconjunctival injections, but was less useful at 5 mg/ ml. Amphotericin B was useful at 5 mg/ ml concentration by topical drops and less useful at 2 mg/ ml.No differences were found between the two concentrations by subconjunctival administration. Pimaricin was useful by topical drops at 50 mg/ ml concentration and less useful at 10 mg/ ml as well as by subconjunctival injections.
