对不同月龄雄性大鼠成骨细胞内钙和钙通道电流的实验研究

目的研究不同月龄的雄性大鼠成骨细胞内钙浓度及钙通道电流是否存在差异.方法采用二次酶消化法分离不同月龄(分别为1、2、3、5、7、9、11、13、15)雄性大鼠的原代成骨细胞,通过激光扫描共聚焦技术测定细胞内游离钙浓度([Ca2+]i)(以平均荧光强度表示),同时应用全细胞膜片钳技术记录成骨细胞膜钙电流(ICa)的变化.结果共聚焦结果显示随月龄增加,成骨细胞内[Ca2+]i逐渐降低,但相邻2月龄组之间细胞内[Ca2+]i无显著性差异(P＞0.05);1、2、3月龄组与11、13、15月龄组成骨细胞内[Ca2+]i有显著性差异(P＜0.05),5、7、9月龄组与各组相比均无差异(P＞0.05).应用全细胞膜片钳技术发现刺激电压为+10 mV时,2、7、13月龄组鼠ICa分别为(-392.77±97.07)pA、(-330.33±33.86)pA和(-287.68±71.01)pA,13月龄组鼠与2月龄组鼠相比,ICa明显降低(P＜0.05),而7月龄组鼠与2月龄组鼠和13月龄组鼠相比,ICa均没有明显差异(P＞0.05).结论不同月龄大鼠成骨细胞内[Ca2+]i存在差异,其机制可能与细胞膜上钙通道活性改变相关.

Modulation of vertebrate neuronal calcium channels by transmitters

A large number of neurotransmitters have now been shown to reduce the amplitude and slow the activation kinetics of whole cell HVA I_Ca in a great diversity of neurons. These transmitters include l-glutamate (AMPA/kainate, metabotropic and NMDA receptors), G AB A (via GABA_B receptors, NA (via α₂ receptors), 5-HT, N A (via α₂ receptors), DA and several peptides. Both whole-cell and single-channel studies have demonstrated that the N-channel is the most common channel type to be blocked by transmitters, although an inhibition of the L-type channel has also occasionally been reported. The suppression of the N-type Ca current was commonly shown to be voltage-dependent, with a relief at large positive voltages. Strong evidence has been put forward showing that the transmitter action is mediated by a G-protein, with GDP-β-S blocking transmitter action, and GTP-γ-S directly inhibiting the Ca channel. Moreover, pertussis toxin blocked the transmitter action in most neurons, and following such block, injection of the G-protein G₀ restored transmitter action. A direct link between the G-protein and the Ca channel has been widely theorized to mediate the action of transmitters on certain neurons. There is also some evidence that certain transmitters in specific neurons mediate calcium channel inhibition through a 2nd messenger, perhaps protein kinase C.Transmitters have also been found, although uncommonly, to inhibit HVA L-type and LVA T-type channels. In addition, an enhancement of both HVA and LVA, Ca currents by transmitters has been demonstrated, and substantial evidence exists for mediation of this action by cAMP.     

Morphological analysis of renal cell culture models of calcium phosphate stone formation

Cell culture models of calcium phosphate renal stone formation were established using the MDCK cell line. Renal microliths were detected within pseudocysts in three-dimensional soft agar cultures, and were also observed in the basal region of cells lining the cell sheet, and immediately beneath domes or blisters in monolayers and collagen gel cultures. Light and scanning electron microscopy indicated that these microliths had a similar lamellated and spherical appearance to those in humans. These microliths were first detected microscopically after 21 days of culture, and were found to be composed of calcium phosphate by X-ray and microinfrared spectroscopic analyses. These culture models may provide a powerful new tool to study the pathogenesis of renal stone diseases and/or calcium phosphate stone formation in humans and animals.     

磷脂酶A2激活在鼠急性缺血性脑损伤中的作用机制

目的 探讨急性脑缺血后脑组织内磷脂酶A2（PLA2）激活及细胞内[Ca^2 ]i与脑损伤的关系，为预防和治疗急性缺血性脑损伤提供理论基础和新的思路。方法 将局灶性脑缺血模型大鼠分5组（假手术组、缺血30、60、90、120min组），测定脑组织PLA2活力、脑细胞[Ca^2 ]i、脑含水量及缺血120min组脑组织PLA2表达量的改变。结果 脑缺血120min脑组织PLA2活性、[Ca^2 ]i、脑含水量较假手术组明显升高，并与时间呈正相关，缺血120min后脑组织中出现sPLA2-ⅡAmRNA表达，且cPLA2-ⅣmRNA表达水平较假手术组明显增强。结论 磷脂酶A2激活参与了脑缺血后神经细胞内钙超载及脑损伤的整人病理过程。     

胆结石对肝脏细胞钙稳态影响与调整的实验研究

用低蛋白饮食方法建立豚鼠胆色素结石模型，共设对照、致石、维生素Ｃ修复、丹参修复和对照修复等５组，规定时间内处死动物，用放射免疫、固相酶联免疫、生物化学等方法检测肝细胞内环—磷酸腺甙（ｃＡＭＰ）、环—磷酸鸟嘌呤（ｃＧＭＰ）、钙调素（ＣａＭ）、钙，三磷酸腺甙酶（Ｃａ２＋－ＡＴＰａｓｅ）、磷酸化酶ａ等水平。致石组豚鼠肝脏细胞内ｃＡＭＰ和磷酸化酶ａ升高，而ｃＧＭＰ，ＣａＭ和Ｃａ２＋－ＡＴＰａｓｅ下降，表明肝细胞钙稳态呈失调状态。维生素Ｃ和丹参可调整肝细胞的上述改变，说明维生素Ｃ和丹参具有维持肝细胞钙稳态的作用。     

Calcium incorporation in cultured chondroblasts perturbed by an electromagnetic field

We tested the hypothesis that electric perturbation influences 45Ca incorporation in extracellular matrix (ECM) of cartilage in vitro. Hypertrophic chondroblasts of tibial epiphyses (HC), sternum (SC), and skin fibroblasts (F) were cultured from chick embryos. HC, SC, and F cells were micromass seeded three times per week and maintained at 37.5 degrees C with 5% CO2 for two weeks. Cultures were randomly designated control (C) or exposed (E) to a pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF). A time course experiment of calcium incorporation for all cultured groups showed that 24 h of exposure produced the largest biological response in chondroblasts. Calcium incorporation required supplemental phosphate. Autoradiography data indicated that the calcium incorporation into macromolecules largely occurred in the ECM. 45Ca steady-state perturbation was enhanced by Streptomyces hyaluronidase (SH) but not by testicular hyaluronidase (TH). 45Ca incorporation experiments tested the effects of phosphate, SH, TH, and PEMF alone and in various combinations on these cultures. Only PEMF or SH plus PEMF with phosphate enhanced 45Ca incorporation. Other experiments examined the effect of rotenone or freeze-thawing on cells exposed to PEMF. PEMF plus freeze-thaw enhanced calcium incorporation in HC only. PEMF appeared to cause disruption of the ECM, enhancing the probability of matrix calcification.     

In vivo measurements of fibrin formation and degradation in nephrotic patients

Summary Intraglomerular fibrin deposition has been implicated as an important pathogenetic mechanism in patients with glomerular diseases and the nephrotic syndrome. To investigate fibrin formation and degradation in nephrosis, we measured fibrinopeptide A by radio-immunoassay and D-dimer by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in the plasma of 30 consecutive adult patients with the nephrotic syndrome; in 10 the serum creatinine was more than 2 mg/dl. Both fibrinopeptide A and D-dimer were abnormally elevated in the majority of nephrotics (P<0.001 vs. healthy controls), providing evidence of increased fibrin generation and lysis “in vivo.” A positive correlation was found between fibrinopeptide A and D-dimer (correlation coefficient 0.64,P<0.001), suggesting a close relationship between fibrin formation and degradation. Calcium heparin, administered to 12 nephrotics, caused a marked decrease in plasma fibrinopeptide A, due to a reduction of in vivo thrombin activity. As enhanced thrombin activity can favor fibrin deposition within the renal parenchyma, as well as vascular complications, it is reasonable to assume that an antithrombotic treatment aimed at controlling thrombin generation may ameliorate the natural history of nephrosis.     

The effect of calcium dobesilate on venous function following saphenectomy in coronary artery bypass grafting

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to determine whether prophylactic use of calcium dobesilate (CD) can improve venous function after saphenous vein harvest in coronary artery bypass graft (CABG). MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 100 patients who underwent elective CABG were divided into four equal groups. In Group A, the greater saphenous vein (GSV) was harvested below the knee and, in Group B, through the knee till the groin. These patients remained untreated. Group C received CD in a dosage of 1500 mg po daily after the GSV was harvested below the knee. Group D received same dosage of CD after the GSV was harvested through the knee till the groin. Venous function of ipsilateral leg was evaluated clinically and by Doppler ultrasonography in the postoperative first week and second month. RESULTS: Clinical findings of venous insufficiency were observed with a similar rate between groups at both early and late periods. In Groups A and B, after 2 months, flow velocities decreased and reflux periods increased significantly. In groups C and D, treatment with CD for 2 months after saphenectomy resulted in a significant increase in flow velocities and a significant decrease in reflux periods. Patients in Groups B and D have significantly more impaired venous functions. CONCLUSION: Saphenectomy results in ipsilateral leg venous dysfunction, which seems to be unrelated to leg swelling and to be more prominent in patients with high-level saphenectomy. In addition, to be careful about the restriction of the saphenectomy procedure into the most appropriate level, prophylactic use of CD can prevent this deterioration when it was added to varice socks.
