慢性阻塞性肺疾病和支气管哮喘患者血浆及痰液P物质的测定

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the role of substance P (SP) in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or asthma. METHOD: Plasma and sputum samples were obtained from 26 COPD patients and 20 asthmatic patients as well as 12 healthy subjects for measurement of SP content. RESULTS: Patients with COPD had significantly higher levels of SP in the plasma (7.9+/-2.6 pmol/L) and sputum (53.8+/-12.5 pmol/L) than the healthy subjects (3.6+/-1.7 pmol/L and 6.2+/-2.3 pmol/L, respectively, P<0.01). The asthmatic patients also had significantly higher SP levels (8.3+/-3.1 pmol/L and 46.9+/-10.2 pmol/L, respectively) than the healthy subjects, but there was no significant difference between COPD and asthmatic patients (P>0.05). CONCLUSION: SP may be involved in the airway inflammation process in COPD and asthma.     

P物质对体外培养大鼠成纤维细胞表皮生长因子及其受体基因表达的影响

目的　探讨P物质 (SubstanceP ,SP)作用于离体培养的大鼠肉芽组织成纤维细胞后 ,对其表皮生长因子(EGF)及受体 (EGFR)基因表达的影响。方法　采用大鼠肉芽组织成纤维细胞培养和逆转录 聚合酶链反应 (RT PCR)技术 ,观察SP在不同浓度 ( 1× 10 -9～ 1× 10 -5mol/L)及不同孵育时间 ( 0、3、6、12、2 4h)情况下刺激大鼠成纤维细胞后 ,成纤维细胞EGF、EGFRmRNA表达的改变情况。结果　SP可上调大鼠肉芽组织成纤维细胞EGF、EGFRmRNA表达。其中 ,SP对EGF的量 效曲线呈双相分布 ,最大效应浓度为 1× 10 -7mol/L。但SP仅在高浓度时 ( 1× 10 -6～ 1× 10 -5mol/L)促进EGFR表达。在最大效应浓度 ( 1× 10 -7mol/L ,1× 10 -5mol/L)时 ,SP对大鼠成纤维细胞EGF、EGFRmRNA表达的上调作用分别于孵育细胞后 6、12h达高峰。结论　SP对大鼠肉芽组织成纤维细胞EGF、EGFR基因表达存在直接影响 ,其表现形式与SP的刺激浓度及孵育时间有关。这种影响可能是SP在创伤愈合过程中发挥调控作用的生物学机制之一。

The practice of forensic psychiatry in cases of homicide in Copenhagen, 1959 to 1983

During the years 1959 to 1983 a doubling in the rate of homicide took place in Copenhagen. This increase was exclusively due to an increasing number of male offenders. By comparing with another Danish material, the frequency of female homicide as well as that of homicide combined with suicide was found practically unchanged since 1946, indicating that both of these kinds of homicides seem to have a background different from those of other offences of fatal violence. During the years 1959 to 1983, the criteria of selection of the defendants for a psychiatric examination for the court were fairly consistent. Examinations were performed in practically all cases, where a charge of murder raised by the police was followed by a legal trial for homicide. Less and less of the defendants, however, were hospitalized for the examination, while more were examined in The Clinic of Forensic Psychiatry in Copenhagen.

Evidence that a substance P-like peptide mediates the non-cholinergic excitatory response of the carp intestinal bulb (Cyprinus carpio)

Summary The participation of substance P in the noncholinergic contraction induced by transmural stimulation (TMS) of the carp intestinal bulb was examined. In the presence of atropine, substance P caused the contraction of carp intestinal bulb smooth muscle in a concentration dependent manner (1 nmol/1 – 1 mol/l). The EC50 value was 28 ± 7 nmol/l (n = 6). Substance P-induced desensitization (1 mol/l for 15 min), decreased the response to substance P and the atropine-resistant contraction induced by TMS (20 Hz) selectively. In contrast, in the absence of atropine, the contraction induced by TMS (20 Hz) was slightly attenuated with the substance P-induced desensitization. The acid extract obtained from the carp intestinal bulb contained a smooth muscle excitatory material whose pharmacological properties were consistent with those of substance P. The present results indicate that a substance P-like peptide is present in the carp intestinal bulb which is involved in the non-cholinergic contraction induced by TMS.Send offprint requests to T.

日本猴椎旁交感神经节中含肽神经元的研究

本实验系应用荧光免疫组织化学的方法观察猴下位腰段椎旁交感神经节(L_(6-7))中神经肽Y,血管活性肠肽,降钙素基因相关肽,和P物质的存在、分布情况以及它们与酪氨酸羟化酶的共存关系。结果表明,大量细胞呈神经肽Y免疫反应阳性,它们在神经节周边分布更为密集。中等数量的血管活性肠肽阳性细胞和小量降钙素基因相关肽细胞散在于神经节内。在经含有Colchiciue的培养液离体孵育12h的标本上,可见中等数量的P物质免疫反应阳性细胞。根据抗酪氨酸羟化酶(TH)抗体的免疫染色结果,神经节内的神经元可分为TH~+和TH~-两群,前者占大多数。相邻切片免疫染色结果表明,几乎所有神经肽Y免疫阳性细胞同时含有TH,而所有血管活性肠肽免疫反应阳性细胞均呈酪氨酸羟化酶免疫反应阴性。神经肽Y与血管活性肠肽无共存关系。降钙素基因相关肽存在于部分血管活性肠肽免疫反应阳性细胞中,即属于VIP~+/TH~-组。从以上结果得出结论,在猴下位腰段椎旁交感神经节中,神经肽Y与血管活性肠肽分别存在于TH~+和TH~-两个细胞群。即神经肽Y存在于TH阳性神经元中,血管活性肠肽和降钙素基因相关肽则存在于TH阴性神经元中。     

Intraduodenal neuropeptide levels,but not plasma levels,vary in a cyclic fashion with the migrating motor complex

The neurohormonal control of the migrating motor complex (MMC) is not fully understood. The hypothesis of the present study was that neuropeptide levels might vary with the different phases of the MMC and that a similar variation might be found in the secretions of the gastrointestinal tract. Thus, plasma and intraduodenal concentrations of vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), somatostatin (SOM), substance P (SP) and neurokinin A (NKA) were determined by radioimmunoassay every 10 min during two complete MMC cycles in eight male subjects. For comparison, plasma motilin (MOT) concentrations were measured. Plasma concentrations of MOT (mean peak value ± SEM; 39 ± 6 pmol L^?1), but none of the neuropeptides studied, showed a cyclic variation in plasma with the different phases of the MMC. Peak intraduodenal concentrations of VIP (79 ± 23 pmol L^?1),?SOM (2437 ± 432 pmol L^?1) and SP (718 ± 326 pmol L^?1) occurred at or at the time point before the onset of phase III of the MMC. No such correlation was observed for NKA. These results demonstrate that intraduodenal but not plasma concentrations of the neuropeptides VIP, SOM and SP show an association with phase III of the MMC. The biological relevance of this finding is yet unclear, but the results raise the possibility that gut neuropeptides may regulate fasting motility through a luminal release.     

Effects of anonymity,gender, and erotophilia on the quality of data obtained from self-reports of socially sensitive behaviors

This study examined the effects of anonymity, gender, and erotophilia on the quality of self-reports of socially sensitive health-related behaviors. A sample of 155 male and 203 female undergraduate students was randomly assigned to an anonymous and a confidential (i.e., nonanonymous) assessment condition. Gender, erotophilia, self-reports (of substance use, sexual behaviors, illegal activity), and perceived item threat were assessed by questionnaire. Data quality was strongly affected by experimental condition and gender. Thus, terminations were more frequent in the confidential condition and among women. In the confidential condition, women were significantly more likely to prefer not to respond to sensitive items compared to men. Both female gender and confidential condition were associated with lower frequency reports of sensitive health behaviors, and greater perceived threat of the assessment questions. Self-reported engagement in sensitive behaviors was positively related to both perceived question threat and erotophilia. Path analyses suggest that question threat mediates the effects of anonymity manipulations and gender on data quality (item refusal, termination), and that erotophilia mediates the effects of gender on incidence and frequency self-reports. The results indicate that anonymous assessments as well as male gender are associated with better data quality.
