The influence of social environmental condition on the production of stress-induced 22 kHz calls in adult male Wistar rats

Adult rats emit 22 kHz ultrasonic vocalizations (USVs) in response to aversive stimuli, and these sounds are suggested to have communicative information among conspecifics. It is conceivable that social environment during development of rats has relevance to the emission of 22 kHz USVs. To examine the effects of social environment after weaning on production of stress-induced USVs, we compared the amount of emission of USVs among three groups of rats reared under different conditions after weaning. One group of rats was housed individually, and the other two groups were housed in pairs, in which social hierarchy of the pair was determined by social dominance-subordination relationships. The USVs were induced by acute mild somatic stimuli on the back and neck. Individually reared rats emitted much fewer USVs than pair-reared rats. In addition, socially subordinate rats emitted more USVs compared with socially dominant ones. These results suggest that not only social interaction but also the status in social hierarchy may play an important role in the process of the development of USVs induced by somatic stimuli.     

Radiotherapy alone in breast cancer. I. Analysis of tumor parameters, tumor dose and local control: the experience of the Gustave-Roussy Institute and the Princess Margaret Hospital

This retrospective study involved 463 breast cancer patients treated by radiotherapy alone at the Princess Margaret Hospital and at the Institut Gustave-Roussy. These patients either had operable tumors, but were unfit for general anesthesia, or had inoperable tumors due to local contraindications to surgery. Results were analyzed according to tumor response, local recurrence rate, tumor size, tumor fixation, nodal fixation and tumor dose. Conventional statistical analysis of local control showed two significant factors: tumor dose and tumor size. Multivariate analysis permitted to define an "individual risk" (IR) of local recurrence according to three independent factors: tumor size, tumor fixation, and nodal fixation. It was shown that the IR was a good prognostic factor for local control. Increase in tumor dose gave a similar effect in the local recurrence relative risk for all the IR groups. According to the slope of the dose-effect curve, it was deduced that a dose increase of 15 Gy can decrease the relative risk of local recurrence 2-fold. In fact, it was shown that tumor dose was the most significant independent factor on local control, able to produce up to a 10-fold increase compared to 2-fold decrease for tumor size. If the IR of local recurrence is known, a theoretical predictive value on local control, taking into account the tumor dose, can be determined according to the present data.     

Certain characteristics of myocardial contractility of isovolumic dog heart at randomly variable heart rhythm

Summary The relationship heart rate-left ventricular pressure was investigated in the isolated canine heart perfused with constant pressure at different preloads. Rhythmical stimulation was performed with constant stimulus interval duration and with stimulus intervals randomly changed near the average value (150–200 stimuli in series).Correlation and dispersion function analysis show that rhythm dispersion had a negative inotropic effect which was independent of the preload of the ventricle in the range of 120–180 beat/min, but this dependence occurred with low rates of stimulation.This method is proposed for the assessment of contractility under conditions of heart rate variations (physiological and pathological arrhythmias).     

Relationship between the ocular and systemic disposition of flurbiprofen: The effect of altered protein dynamics at steady state

The differences in flurbiprofen disposition in the aqueous humor and the plasma were examined after systemic doses. Steady state plasma concentrations of flurbiprofen (20–60 g/mL) were achieved via intravenous infusion to albino rabbits. Flurbiprofen demonstrated linear systemic kinetics throughout the dosing range, with constant body clearance and unbound fraction in plasma. At steady state, aqueous humor drug concentrations depended on the corresponding plasma drug concentration. Two clearance terms—CL_so, the systemic clearance to ocular tissues, and CL_os, the ocular clearance to systemic circulation—were used. After systemic doses, the drug concentration in the aqueous humor was related to that in the plasma as well as to the ratio of these two clearances. Flurbiprofen was extensively bound to plasma proteins and showed limited ocular distribution; its CL_so to CL_so tratio was very small. Thus, the concentration of flurbiprofen in the aqueous humor after systemic doses was lower than that obtained after ophthalmic doses. A plasmapheresis technique was utilized to lower the plasma protein concentrations to 60% of normal levels. As a consequence, flurbiprofen demonstrated reduced aqueous humor protein concentrations, increased unbound fractions in the plasma and the aqueous humor, elevated aqueous humor drug concentrations, and elevated total body clearance. The unbound body clearance stayed unchanged. Our study indicated that a drug should present a significant CL_so/CL_os ratio in order to achieve therapeutic concentrations in the eye via systemic doses. The drug-protein binding kinetics can be different between the plasma and the aqueous humor circulations. Because the ocular compariment is very small compared to the overall systemic distribution of flurbiprofen, it has little effect on the steady state systemic concentrations.     

长期未转阴新型冠状病毒肺炎患者 血清白蛋白水平与病毒转阴的因果关系探索

[摘要]　目的　初步探索血清白蛋白水平与新型冠状病毒肺炎长期阳性患者病毒转阴之间的因果关系。方法?以病程超过30 d的轻型新型冠状病毒肺炎住院患者为研究对象,采集人口学信息、治疗策略、合并疾病、实验室检查指标信息,以发病后45 d内病毒累积转阴率为因变量,以发病后（30±3）d时的血清白蛋白水平为主要分析变量,以人口学信息、治疗策略、合并疾病、实验室检查结果等其他信息为协变量,采用限制立方样条回归-Cox比例风险回归模型探讨血清白蛋白水平对累积转阴率的影响。结果?共有189例患者纳入分析,其中101例在45 d内实现了病毒转阴。进一步分析发现,30 d时的血清白蛋白水平与45 d病毒累积转阴率之间存在相关性（P = 0.027）。当血清白蛋白＜39 g/L时,低血清白蛋白水平是病毒转阴的危险因素,且血清白蛋白水平越低,风险比（hazard ritio, HR）越高,血清白蛋白越接近39 g/L,HR则越接近1;当血清白蛋白≥39 g/L时,血清白蛋白水平不再是病毒转阴的危险因素。结论?血清白蛋白水平与患者的病毒转阴密切相关,当血清白蛋白＜39 g/L时,血清白蛋白水平越低,越不利于病毒转阴。因此,治疗过程中关注血清白蛋白变化,及时给予干预,可能有利于病毒转阴。
