跟腱反射时间测定评价甲状腺功能的探讨

对103名甲状腺功能正常者,89例甲状腺功能亢进症(甲亢)患者,10例甲状腺机能减退症(甲低)患者,分别测定了跟腱反射时间并与放免测定血清T_3、T_4相比较。结果:甲状腺功能正常者符合率为100％,甲亢符合率为83％,甲低符合率为90％。认为,跟腱反射时间测定对甲状腺功能的判断比较淮确,并且方法简便易行。     

The effects of long-term, low-dose diazepam treatment on the guinea pig righting reflex and medial vestibular nucleus neuronal activity

Guinea pigs received a 2 mg/kg IP injection of diazepam, or an equivalent volume of vehicle, daily for 28–60 days. To determine whether tolerance developed to the ataxic effects of diazepam on the righting reflex, daily righting reflex latency (RRL) measurements were made before and 20, 30, and 40 min following the diazepam or vehicle injection for 28 days. Analyses of the RRLs for individual animals indicated that a significant decrease in RRL over time (indicating tolerance) occurred in only one out of nine animals receiving diazepam and in none of the vehicle animals. Medial vestibular nucleus (MVN) neurons in brain stem slices from animals receiving chronic diazepam treatment had a significantly higher average firing rate than those from vehicle controls. These results suggest that: a) long-term treatment with single 2 mg/kg daily IP injections of diazepam does not result in tolerance to diazepam's ataxic effects on the righting reflex in the majority of animals; b) this form of diazepam treatment may, nonetheless, induce a hyperactivity of brain stem MVN neurons that may be consistent with the occurrence of a withdrawal syndrome.     

农村地区高血压危险因素的病例对照研究

对四川省农村地区218例原发性高血压(其中包括109例临界高血压)进行配对(1:2)病例对照研究。资料分析采用了条件Logistic回归分析方法。研究结果提示心率、高血压家族史、环境噪声、体重指数(QI)等综合因素与临界高血压和确诊高血压均有显著的联系。心率、体重指数(QI)以及高血压家族史是原发性高血压较稳定的影响因素,心率可作为研究血压的必测指标。环境因素对原发性高血压的影响不可忽视。原发性高血压是遗传因素、环境因素等综合作用的结果。     

The isolated spinal cord-skin preparation of the newborn rat and effects of some algogenic and analgesic substances

We have developed an isolated spinal cord-skin preparation of the newborn rat. The spinal cord together with a piece of skin connected to the cord by the saphenous nerve was isolated from 1- to 4-day-old rats and separately superfused with artificial cerebrospinal fluid in two neighbouring chambers. Potentials were recorded extracellularly from the third lumbar ventral root. Application of capsaicin (0.5-2 μM) or KCl (60–350 mM) with brief pressure pulses to the perfusion bath of the skin evoked a depolarizing response of 20- to 40-s duration in the ventral root. The response was depressed by [Met⁵]enkcphalin (0.03–3 μM). morphine (0.1–2 μM) and a tachykinin antagonist, [D-Arg¹,D-Trp^7,9,Leu¹¹] substance P (spantide), 1–10 μM), applied to the spinal cord by superfusion, whereas the response was augmented by centrally administered calcitonin gene-related peptide (0.1–0.2 μM) or bicuculline (0.5–1 μM).

Interactions between serotonin and substance P in the spinal regulation of nociception

Interactions between 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) and substance P (SP) in the mouse spinal cord were investigated using the tail-flick test and the behavioral response evoked by intrathecal (i.th.) SP or i.th. 5-HT. I.th. injection of 5-HT (20 μg) or the 5-HT₁ receptor agonists(+)-8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)tetralin ((+)-8-OH-DPAT) (20 μg) or 5-methoxy-3(1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine-4-yl)-1H-indole (RU 24969) (20 μg) markedly inhibited the tail-flick reflex. The effect of these compounds was reduced when SP (5 μg) was given i.th. 55 min, or 55 and 45 min before the agonists. The tail-flick latencies recorded 5 min before injection of a 5-HT agonist were similar in animals treated with SP or vehicle. The changes in the tail-flick test were not due to changes in tail skin temperature since only minimal differences in the skin temperature were recorded between the groups injected with SP or vehicle. I.th. injection of SP (10 ng) or 5-HT (2 μg) produced a similar behavioral response consisting of biting, licking and scratching of the caudal part of the body, indicative of nociceptive stimulation. The responses both to i.th. SP and 5-HT were reduced after i.th. application of SP receptor antagonist [d-Arg¹,d-Trp^7,9,Leu¹¹]-SP (Spantide) (5 μg), as well as 5 min after i.th. injection of the 5-HT receptor antagonist metergoline (4 μg). The data may indicate functional interactions between SP and 5-HT in the mouse spinal cord, which may take place in neurons involved in the processing of nociception.

Evaluation of the effects of opioid agonists and antagonists under a delayed matching-to-sample procedure in pigeons

The effects of several opioid agonists and antagonists were examined in pigeons performing under a delayed matching-to-sample procedure. The mu agonists morphine and l-methadone, the kappa agonists U 50,488 and ethylketocyclazocine, and the opioid antagonist naloxone had no effect on the accuracy of responding. These drugs were, however, behaviorally active as evidenced by the dose-dependent decreases in rates of responding associated with their administration. In contrast, the sigma agonists (+) N-allylnormetazocine and phencyclidine decreased the accuracy of responding in a dose-dependent fashion. The relative magnitude of these drug-induced decreases in accuracy were similar across the no delay (0-s), short (2-s), and long (8-s) delay intervals. For these drugs, accuracy-decreasing effects were obtained only at doses that reduced rates of responding. The results of the present investigation parallel those reported in pigeons responding under drug discrimination tasks, in which the discriminative stimulus properties produced by the mu and kappa agonists are similar to each other but distinguishable from those produced by the sigma agonists.Recipient of Research Scientist Development Award DA 00033 from the National Institute on Drug Abuse
