The participation of adenosine receptors in the adenosine 5''-triphosphate-induced relaxation in the isolated rabbit corpus cavernosum penis

AIM: To investigate the participation of adenosine receptors in the adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP)-induced relaxation in the corpus cavernosum penis (CCP) of rabbits. METHODS: The ATP-induced relaxation was assessed on the noradrenaline precontracted CCP of rabbits in the presence and absence of 8-(3-chlorostyryl)caffeine (CSC); an adenosine A(2A) receptor antagonist; alloxazine and MRS1754; adenosine A(2B) receptor antagonists; and ARL67156, an inhibitor of ecto-nucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolases. RESULTS: Adenosine and ATP relaxed the noradrenaline precontracted CCP of rabbits in a concentration-dependent manner. The adenosine- and ATP-induced relaxations were suppressed by alloxazine and MRS1754, but not by 8-(3-chlorostyryl)caffeine. ARL67156 potentiated the ATP-induced relaxation but not the adenosine-induced one. MRS1754 suppressed the ATP-induced relaxation potentiated by ARL67156. CONCLUSIONS: The above results suggest that, in the CCP of rabbits, the adenosine receptor mediating adenosine-induced relaxation is of the A(2B) receptor and the ATP directly causes relaxation through the A(2B) receptor on the CCP.

Marchiafava-Bignami disease treated by mianserin hydrochloride in short-term evaluated by neuropsychological analysis

Since 1903, Marchiafava‐Bignami disease has been recognized as a rare syndrome with focal demyelination and necrosis in the corpus callosum, which is usually found in chronic alcoholics. It extends into the neighboring white matter and occasionally as far as the subcortical regions. We report a Japanese patient with Marchiafava‐Bignami disease associated with alcohol abuse, who had traveled around Western Europe, North America and China for more than 30 years. As he suffered extreme delirium in the early stages we administered a low dose (10 mg) of mianserin hydrochloride. He was very irritable and uncooperative on admission, after 20 days his delirium had disappeared and his temper had become very calm and mild. After 40 days, his intelligence level increased substantially as measured by various neuropsychological tests.     

In-vitro synthesis of steroid hormones in corpora lutea from normal women and women treated with 300 micrograms norethisterone.

The in-vitro oestradiol (E2) and progesterone (P) production by corpora lutea (CL) obtained at sterilization from 30 untreated women and 43 women treated with norethisterone (NET) 300 micrograms daily was measured. The CL were obtained at different stages of the luteal phase in the untreated women [luteinizing hormone (LH) 0 to +3, n = 7; LH +4 to +7, n = 7; LH +8 to +11, n = 9; LH +12 to menses, n = 7] and on days LH +8 to +11 or cycle days 22 to 26 in the NET-treated women. In the treated women, four types of ovarian reaction were identified. Four women showed ovarian reaction Type A (completely inhibited ovarian activity), 14 women Type B (marked follicular activity, but no luteal function), 12 women Type C (normal follicular activity, followed by insufficient luteal function) and 13 women Type D (apparently normal follicular and luteal activity). The CL were incubated in Eagle's medium with and without stimulation by human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG) for 2 and 4 h. In the untreated women, P and E2 production increased significantly with both incubation time and stimulation by HCG throughout the luteal phase, except in the late luteal phase (LH +12 to menses) where P increased (P less than 0.01) only after 4 h stimulation by HCG. The maximal production of P was found after 4 h incubation with HCG stimulation of CL tissue in the early-mid luteal phase (LH +4 to +7).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

黑质内注射FeCl3对大鼠纹状体多巴胺释放量及含量的影响

①目的探讨黑质(SN)内注射不同剂量的FeCl3对大鼠纹状体(CPu)多巴胺(DA)释放量和含量的影响.②方法实验用SD大鼠32只,分成4组6只大鼠为正常对照组;9只大鼠左侧SN内注射 FeCl3溶液10 μg(Ⅰ组);8只大鼠左侧SN内注射FeCl3溶液20 μg(Ⅱ组);9只大鼠左侧SN内注射FeCl3溶液40 μg(Ⅲ组),3周后采用快速周期伏安法(FCV)监测纹状体D A的释放量,高效液相色谱法(HPLC)检测纹状体DA含量.③结果在FeCl3单侧损毁大鼠中,损毁侧CPu DA释放量的减少和DA含量的降低与注射FeCl3剂量之间有明显剂量依赖关系(F=93.78,164.51,q=3.50～29.79,P<0.05).Ⅲ组损毁侧CP u DA的更新率[以(DOPAC+HVA)/DA表示]明显加快,与其他组比较差异有显著性(F=13 6.22,q=22.32～22.72,P<0.05);而Ⅰ,Ⅱ组变化较小,与正常大鼠相比差别无统计学意义 (q=0.25,2.04,P>0.05).④结论黑质内Fe3+含量升高可使CPu内DA释放量和含量均降低,铁含量高可能参与帕金森病的病理改变.
