氟安定对家兔结合臂旁核区呼吸性单位放电的影响

在36只麻醉、麻痹、切断双侧颈迷走神经及人工呼吸的家兔上,用五管微电极记录结合臂旁核区细胞外放电并微电泳药物离子。在47个吸气性单位(IUs)、18个呼气性单位(EUs)、12个吸-呼跨根性单位(I-EUs)、11个呼-吸跨相性单位(E-IUs)和71个非呼吸性单位(NR-Us)中,微电泳氟安定(Flu)引起阻遏的单位分别占55.3％、94.4％、91.7％、18.1％和60.6％。经统计:Flu抑制IUs和EUs的百分率与抑制I-EUs和E-IUs的百分率有显著差别。GABA-A受体拮抗剂荷包牡丹碱不能阻断Flu对IUs和EUs的阻遏作用,但能阻断Flu对NRUs的抑制作用,阻断率为60％。在20个IUs中,ACh引起兴奋效应的占75％,未见有阻遏效应的;ACh对其它类型呼吸性单位(RUs)则有不同的效应。ACh不能对抗Flu的阻遏效应。ACh对NRUs主要呈兴奋效应。以上结果表明:Flu对结合臂旁核区RUs和NRUs主要起抑制作用,其中抑制EUs和I-EUs的作用较大;而且,Flu抑制RUs和NRUs的递质机制有差异,抑制NRUs可能主要通过内源性GABA系统,而抑制RUs的机制则不提示有该系统参与。ACh对IUs和NRUs主要起兴奋作用。

EFFECTS OF MICROIONTOPHORETICALLY APPLIED FLURAZEPAM ON THE RESPIRATORY UNITS IN THE REGION OF THE NUCLEUS PARABRACHIALIS OF THE RABBIT

Experiments were carried out on 36 urethane-chloralose aneasthesized, paralyzed, vagotomized and artificially ventilated rabbits. Five-barrel glass micropipettes were used to record unit discharges and to apply flurazepam iontophoretically in the region of the nucleus parabrachialis. Inspiratory units (IUs), expiratory units (EUs), phase-spanning units (I-EUs and E-IUs) and non-respiratory units (NRUs) were observed. 26 (55.3%) out of 47 IUs, 17 (94.4%) out of 18 EUs, 11 (91.7%) out of 12 I-EUs, 2 (18.1%) out of 11 E-IUs and 43 (60.6%) out of 71 NRUs were depressed by flurazepam. The depressant ratio of EUs and I-EUs was statistically different from that of IUs and E-IUs respectively. In flurazepam sensitive 5 IUs and 2 EUs, the depressant effect could not be antagonized by GABA-A receptor antagonist bicuculline. In 10 flurazepam sensitive NRUs, there were 6 (60%) units whose depressant effect of flurazepam could be antagonized by bicuculline. In addition, the effects of acetylcholine (ACh) on the respiratory units and NRUs were examined, 15 (75%) out of 20 IUs were excited and the remaining units were not influenced. The effects of ACh on the EUs, I-EUs and E-IUs were variable, but the effects of ACh on the NRUs were mainly excitatory. In 5 IUs and 1 phase-spanning respiratory units, the depressant effect of flurazepam could not be antagonized by ACh. The results showed that flurazepam mainly depressed the EUs and I-EUs in the region of nucleus parabrachialis, thus interfering with the normal phase transition between the inspiratory and expiratory phase and reducing the respiratory rate.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
