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。     

Application of a reference convolution method to tryptophan fluorescence in proteins. A refined description of rotational dynamics

A reference method for the deconvolution of polarized fluorescence decay data is described. Fluorescence lifetime determinations for p-terphenyl, p-bis[2-(5-phenyloxazolyl)]benzene and N-acetyltryptophanamide (AcTrpNH2) show that with this method more reliable fits of the decays can be made than with the scatterer method, which is most frequently used. Analysis of the AcTrpNH2 decay with p-terphenyl as the reference compound yields an excellent fit with lifetimes of 2.985 ns for AcTrpNH2 and 1.099 ns for p-terphenyl (20 degrees C), whereas the AcTrpNH2 decay cannot be satisfactorily fitted when the scatterer method is used. The frequency of the detected photons is varied to determine the conditions where pulse pile-up starts to affect the measured decays. At detection frequencies of 5 kHz and 15 kHz, which corresponds to 1.7% and 5% respectively of the rate of the excitation photons no effects are found. Decays measured at 30 kHz (10%) are distorted, indicating that pile-up effects play a role at this frequency. The fluorescence and fluorescence anisotropy decays of the tryptophan residues in the proteins human serum albumin, horse liver alcohol dehydrogenase and lysozyme have been reanalysed with the reference method. The single tryptophan residue of the albumin is shown to be characterized by a triple-exponential fluorescence decay. The anisotropy decay of albumin was found to be mono-exponential with a rotational correlation time of 26 ns (20 degrees C). The alcohol dehydrogenase has two different tryptophan residues to which single lifetimes are assigned. It is found that the rotational correlation time for the dehydrogenase changes with excitation wavelength (33 ns for lambda ex = 295 nm and 36 ns for lambda ex = 300 nm at 20 degrees C), indicating a nonspherical protein molecule. Lysozyme has six tryptophan residues, which give rise to a triple-exponential fluorescence decay. A single-exponential decay with a rotational correlation time of 3.8 ns is found for the anisotropy. This correlation time is significantly shorter than that arising from the overall rotation and probably originates from intramolecular, segmental motion.

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.      

Differentiation between Xanthomonas campestris pv. graminis (ISPP List 1980), pv. phleipratensis (ISPP List 1980) emend., pv. poae Egli and Schmidt 1982 and pv. arrhenatheri Egli and Schmidt 1982, by Numerical Analysis of Phenotypic Features and Protein Gel Electrophoregrams

A numerical analysis of 257 phenotypic features of 45 bacterial isolates from grasses, revealed three phenons corresponding to (i) X. campestris pv. graminis (ISPP List 1980), (ii) X. campestris pv. phleipratensis (ISPP List 1980) and (iii) X. campestris pv. poae Egli and Schmidt 1982 and X. campestris pv. arrhenatheri Egli and Schmidt 1982. In each phenon, the strains clustered together regardless of the geographical origin of the isolates orthe year of isolation. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of soluble proteins and host range studies, revealed four groups corresponding to the pathovars mentioned above. The four pathovars constitute definite biological entities that can be differentiated by phenotypic, gel electrophoretic and host range features.     

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。     

The effect of the H2 partial pressure on the metabolite pattern ofLactobacillus casei,Escherichia coli andClostridium butyricum

Summary The metabolite pattern of batch cultures ofLactobacillus casei LMG 6400,Clostridium butyricum LMG 1213t1 andEscherichia coli LMG 2093 was effected only for the latter organism when the H₂ partial pressure was below 1 atmosphere: high hydrogen partial pressures increased the formate formation, low pressures gave rise to increased acetate production and higher cell yields.     

Methyl linoleate ozonide as a substrate for rat glutathione S-transferases: reaction pathway and isoenzyme selectivity

The 9,10-mono-ozonide of methyl linoleate was shown to be a substrate for rat hepatic cytosolic, rat lung cytosolic and rat hepatic microsomal glutathione S-transferases (GST). The activities of lung cytosol and liver microsomes with methyl linoleate ozonide (MLO) were found to be high relative to the activity demonstrated by liver cytosol, as compared with their respective activities towards 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (CDNB). Only a slight catalytic activity towards the ozonide was noticed for rat lung microsomes. Isoenzyme 2-2 exhibited the highest specific activity (208 nmol/min/mg) when isoenzymes 1-1, 1-2, 2-2, 3-3, 3-4, 4-4 and 7-7 were compared. This isoenzyme accounts for approx. 25% of cytosolic GST protein in rat lung, while in rat liver it represents approx. 9%. This may partly explain the high activity towards the ozonide noticed for rat lung cytosol. No stable conjugates were formed as products of the reaction of MLO with glutathione; although two glutathione-conjugates were noticed on TLC, they were only formed as intermediate compounds. Coupling of an aldehyde dehydrogenase assay or a glutathione reductase assay to the GST-catalyzed conjugation, demonstrated that oxidized glutathione and aldehydes are formed as the major products in the reaction. To further confirm the formation of aldehydes, the products of the GST-catalyzed reaction were incubated with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine, which resulted in hydrazone formation. In conclusion, the activity of the GST towards the ozonide of methyl linoleate is similar to their peroxidase activity with lipid hydroperoxides as substrates.
