复方胰岛素凝胶剂促进大鼠皮肤溃疡愈合的初步研究

目的:研究复方胰岛素凝胶剂对大鼠皮肤溃疡的促愈合作用,并探讨其可能的作用机制。方法:18只Wistar大鼠背部各制备4个皮肤溃疡模型,共复制溃疡72个,随机将溃疡分为复方胰岛素凝胶治疗组(A组)、凝胶基质对照组(B组)、空白对照组(C组)。以治疗后不同时间点各组溃疡面积、溃疡愈合速度及组织病理学检查评价修复效果。结果:在伤后头10天内,A组溃疡缩小最明显,愈合速度明显快于B组、C组。伤后14天,A组溃疡基本愈合,皮肤结构完整、上皮化较厚;而B、C组溃疡仍未完全愈合,皮肤结构不完整、上皮化较薄。结论:局部应用复方胰岛素凝胶剂对大鼠皮肤溃疡有促愈合作用。

The influence of intravesical volume upon contractile responses of the whole bladder preparation from streptozotocin-diabetic rats

1. The in vivo whole bladder preparation was used to correlate bladder volume with the ability of urinary bladders from control, sucrose-drinking, and diabetic rats to develop pressure in response to bethanechol or nerve stimulation. 2. Both streptozotocin-induced diabetes mellitus and sucrose-diuresis caused an increase in rat urinary bladder capacity and mass. 3. There were significant decreases in the ability of bladders from control rats to develop pressure in response to bethanechol at 1.0 ml intravesical volume, but no change in responsiveness of bladders from sucrose-drinking or diabetic rats at different intravesical volumes. Bladders from sucrose-drinking and diabetic rats developed significantly less pressure in response to bethanechol stimulation at low intravesical volumes than did bladders from control rats. 4. Bladders from diabetic rats developed significantly less pressure in response to 32 Hz stimulation at 0.2 ml intravesical volume compared to larger volumes, however, there were no differences in the responses of bladders from sucrose-drinking or control rats at any intravesical volume. 5. Bladders from control and sucrose-drinking rats had a reduced ability to empty in response to bethanechol and field stimulation at large intravesical volumes. 6. Bladders from 8-week streptozotocin-diabetic rats are able to contract and empty efficiently in response to nerve stimulation and bethanechol over a wide range of intravesical volumes.     

Synthesis and biological activities of novel 5-(2-acylethynyl)uracils

5-(2-Acylethynyl)-2,4-dimethoxypyrimidines (3-6) were synthesized in excellent yields from 2,4-dimethoxy-5-[2-(trimethylsilyl)ethynyl]pyrimidine (2) by treatment with acid chlorides in the presence of anhydrous aluminum chloride. Compounds 3-6 were deblocked with chlorotrimethylsilane and sodium iodide in acetonitrile to the corresponding 5-[(2-acyl-1-iodo)vinyl]uracils (7-10), which on treatment with potassium hydroxide in dioxane yielded the corresponding 5-(2-acylethynyl)uracils (11-14). The 5-(2-acylethynyl)uracils were found to be active against Ehrlich ascites carcinoma (EAC) cells in vivo, the most active compounds being 5-(2-benzoylethynyl)uracil (11) and 5-(2-p-toluoylethynyl)uracil (12). The T/C values of 281 and 300 were obtained for compounds 11 and 12, respectively, in the case of mice bearing EAC cells. The 5-(2-acylethynyl)uracils have also shown in vitro activity against CCRF-CEM and L1210/0 tumor cell lines. The lead compound 5-(2-p-toluoylethynyl)uracil effectively inhibited thymidylate synthetase.     

Quantitative structure-activity relationships in MAO-inhibitory 2-phenylcyclopropylamines: Insights into the topography of MAO-A and MAO-B

Ten (E)-and (Z)-isomers of 2-phenylcyclopropylamine (PCA), 1-Me-PCA, 2-Me-PCA, N-Me-PCA, and N, N-diMe-PCA and fifteeno ⁻, m⁻, p⁻ isomers of (E)-PCA with substituents of Me, Cl, F, OMe, OH were synthesized in this laboratory and tested for the inhibition of rat brain mitochondrial MAO-A and MAO-B. The effects of substituents, their positions, and stereochemistry on the inhibition were assessed for the compounds with substituents at cyclopropyl and amino groups and QSAR analyses were performed using the potency data of ring-substituted compounds. The best correlated QSAR equations are as follows: pI₅₀=0.804 Π² Blo−1.069 Blm+0.334 Lp−1.709 HDp+7.897 (r=0.945, s=0.211, F=16.691, p=0.000) for the inhibition of MAO-A; pI₅₀=1.815 π-0.825 Π² R+0.900 Es²+0.869 Es³+0.796 Es⁴−0.992 HDp+0.562 HAo+3.893 (r=0.982, s=0.178, F=23.351, p=0.000) for the inhibition of MAO-B. Based on the potency difference between stereoisomers of cyclopropylamine-modified compounds and on QSAR results, it is proposed that the active sites of MAO-A are composed of one deep hydrophobic cavity near para position, two hydrophobic cavities interacting with Me group, a hydrophobic area accomodating phenyl and cyclopropyl backbone, steric boundaries, a hydrogen-acceptor site near para position, and an amino group binding site and that in addition to the same two hydrophobic cavities, hydrophobic area, steric boundaries, hydrogen-acceptor site, and amino group binding site, another steric boundary near para position and a hydrogen donating site near ortho position constitute active sites of MAO-B.     

Characterization of a progesterone-binding, three-domain antibody fragment (VH/K) expressed in Escherichia coli.

The heavy chain variable region (VH) and the kappa light chain of the anti-progesterone monoclonal antibody (mAb) DB3, have been expressed as a single-chain three-domain polypeptide, designated VH/K, and secreted into the periplasmic space of Escherichia coli (E. coli). The linker sequence was derived from the VH-CH1 elbow region. The C kappa domain provides a sensitive detection tail for Western blotting and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Periplasmic extracts of transformed E. coli contained material that bound progesterone and related steroids with similar specificity and affinity to DB3, and displayed the DB3 idiotype and kappa chain epitopes. Reference to the crystal structure of DB3 suggests that all the characteristics of the combining site interaction with steroids are retained in the bacterially expressed material. Western blotting demonstrated material with a molecular weight equivalent to three domains after reduction, but six domains in the unreduced state, suggesting that the VH/K polypeptide is assembled in the periplasm as a disulphide-bridged dimer. The VH/K construct provides a novel route to expression of antibody combining sites in E. coli for antibody engineering.     

Changes of Intestinal Caicitonin Gene-related Peptide in Acute Intestinal Radiation Sickness in Rats

The characteristic distribution of calcitonin gone-related peptide(CGRP)inthe small intestine of rats and its changes in acute intestinal radiation sickness(AIRS)were studied with immunocytochemistry(whole mount stretch preparations of the smallintestine and cryostat sections)and radio-immunoassay.It was found that in all the lay-ers of the intestinal walls,there were large amounts of CGRP immunoreactive(CGRP-I)nerve fibers which existed in especiaUy high density in the myenteric,submucosal andmucosal plexuses.There was also a rather high density of the nerves around the smallvessels of the small intestine and the intestinal crypts.Some CGRP-I neurons were seenin the myenteric and submucosal plexuses.In AIRS,the intestinal CGRP showed a dip-hasic change,in a lower level in the 24th h and a higher level in the 48th and 72nd h af-ter irradiation.The results indicate that CGRP may be related to the regulation of the motility,se-cretion,absorption,sensation,and regional blood flow of the gastrointestinal tract.Pro-bably,CGRP is released under the stress of AIRS and participates in the mechanism ofinjury through many ways especially through the influence on the regional blood flowand the increase of the permeability of blood vessels.
