Cytoprotective effect of epidermal growth factor on acid- and pepsininduced damage to rat gastric epithelial cells: Roles of Na+/H+ exchangers

We have previously established a cell damage model, with damage induced by either acid or pepsin treatment for 30 min, involving a rat gastric epithelial cell line (RGM1). In the present study, pretreatment of cells with epidermal growth factor (EGF; 0.1–10ng/mL) or sucralfate (0.1–3 mg/mL) for 4 h prevented such cell damage in a concentration-dependent manner. Protection of cells by these drugs was not affected by pretreatment with indomethacin (10⁻⁵ mol/L) for 4 h. Removal of Na⁻, but not Ca²⁺, from the acidified medium totally abolished the inhibitory effect of EGF, but not that of sucralfate. Genistein (a tyrosine kinase inhibitor) apparently reduced the inhibitory effect of EGF. DNA synthesis by RGM1 cells did not increase when cells were incubated with EGF for 4 h. We conclude that both EGF and sucralfate protect RGM1 cells from acid- and pepsin-induced damage and that the mechanism of protection by EGF against acid-induced damage seems to be via activation of Na⁺/H⁺ exchangers.

AUGMENTED ENDOGENOUS NITRIC OXIDE PRODUCTION IN PARTIAL PORTAL VEIN-LIGATED RATS

1. Endothelium-derived nitric oxide (NO) is a potent vasodilator. Because the body oxidizes it to nitrate ions, NO₃-, measurement of the serum concentration and the urinary excretion of NO₃- may be an index for endogenous NO. We investigated the role of NO on hyperdynamic circulation in cirrhotic and partial portal vein-ligated rats by measuring NO₃. 2. Liver cirrhosis was induced by administration of thioacetamide. Systemic and splanchnic haemodynamics and splenic-systemic shunting were determined by tracer microspheres. The concentration of NO₃- was measured by using high-performance liquid chromatography with an anion-column. 3. We found that systemic and splanchnic hyperdynamic circulation existed to almost the same extent in cirrhotic and in portal vein-ligated rats as compared to the controls and sham-operated rats, respectively. Splenic-systemic shunting was markedly greater in portal vein-ligated rats than in cirrhotic rats. 4. Serum NO₃- levels and urinary excretion of NO₃- in cirrhotic rats tended to increase as compared to the controls. On the other hand, the levels in portal vein-ligated rats were significantly increased as compared to those of the sham-operated rats, and were significantly and negatively correlated to the splanchnic arterial resistance and total vascular resistance. The amount of urinary excretion of NO₃- significantly correlated to splenic-systemic shunting (r = 0.61, P<0.05) only in portal vein-ligated rats. 5. We suggest that these high levels of NO₃- in portal vein-ligated rats relate to the extensive formation of porto-collateral vasculature or acute changes in systemic and splanchnic haemodynamics due to portal vein-ligation.

"同病异治"原则与中医缺血脑保护药物干预策略

溶栓治疗和神经保护治疗是缺血性脑卒中的两大药物干预策略,其中广义的神经保护治疗包括神经保护和神经修复两种方法,而目前存在的中西医结合缺血性脑卒中的药物干预策略可能也存在多层次、分阶段干预的特点,体现了祖国医学"同病异治"的原则,我们认为现有的缺血脑保护方法主要针对缺血性脑卒中的不同发展阶段,而神经修复的研究,尤其是中医药促进神经干细胞再生的研究,可能蕴涵着巨大的发展潜力和无限商机.     

Cardioprotective effects of stimulation of peripheral μ-opiate receptors and the role of opiatergic mechanisms in the pathogenesis of stress-induced heart damage

Immobilization induces stress damage to the heart. DAGO, an agonist of μ-opiate receptors potentiates, while an agonist of peripheral μ-opiate receptors prevents this damage. Naltrexone reduces, while methylnaltrexone, an inhibitor of peripheral μ-opiate receptors, potentiates the stress-induced damage to the heart. Other opiate ligands have no effect on heart damage. It is suggested that the stress-induced damage to the heart is promoted by activation of central μ-opiate receptors and prevented by stimulation of peripheral μ-opiate receptors.

甲状腺机能亢进症辨证分型与甲皱微循环及TT_3、TT_4、FT_4I和吸~(131)碘率的关系

对甲状腺机能亢进症(甲亢)患者进行了临床辨证分型,同步观察甲皱微循环及检测TT_3 TT_4 FT_4I、吸~(131)碘率,探讨它们之间的关系。结果表明甲亢患者微循环积分明显高于对照组(P<0.01),但不同类型甲亢的血淤情况亦不相同。心肝火旺型的微循环积分低于气滞痰凝型和血瘀型,但TT_3、TT_4、FT_4I明显增高;气滞痰凝型居中;血淤型的微循环积分明显增高,但TT_3、TT_4、FT_4I低于其他两型。吸~(131)碘率三型间无差异(P>0.05)。     

60Coγ射线对体外培养成骨细胞作用的实验研究

目的：研究放射性骨损伤的发病机制，探讨骨折合并射线损伤愈合能力下降的原因。方法：将体外培养的成骨细胞用^60Coγ射线一次性照射3、6、9、12Gy，以建立体外培养成骨细胞受射线作用的实验模型；同时，观察成骨细胞的碱性磷酸酶（ALP）活性改变，骨形态发生蛋白（BMP）和转化生长因子β1（TGF-β1）的胞质内表达量，以及细胞内钙离子的含量。结果：成骨细胞受射线照射后，其ALP活性明显降低，且与照射剂量呈明显量效关系，3Gy组抑制率为31.59%，而12Gy组则为84.95%；BMP、TGF-β1的表达量下降，但与照射剂量无明显量效关系；胞质内钙含量亦降低，但受照各组间的抑制率无明显统计学差异。结论：射线对成骨细胞具有直接损害作用，放射性骨损伤的重要方面就是射线对成骨细胞的主要功能酶ALP活性的损害，抑制BMP、TGF-β1等生长因子的合成，且干扰细胞内第二信使钙离子，从而致骨组织的再生重建机能下降。     

Temporal Lobe Epileptogenesis and Epilepsy in the Developing Brain: Bridging the Gap Between the Laboratory and the Clinic. Progression, But in What Direction?

Summary:  The origins of human mesial temporal lobe epilepsy and hippocampal sclerosis are still not well understood. Hippocampal sclerosis and temporal lobe epileptogenesis involve a series of pathologies including hippocampal neuronal loss and gliosis, axonal reorganization, and maybe hippocampal neoneurogenesis. However, the causality of these events is unclear as well as their relation to the factors that may precipitate epileptogenesis. Significant differences between temporal lobe epileptogenesis in the adult and immature brain may require differential approaches. Hereditary factors also may participate in some cases of hippocampal sclerosis. The key point is to identify the significance of these age-dependent changes and to design preventive treatments. Novel strategies for the prevention and treatment of mesial temporal lobe epilepsy and hippocampal sclerosis may include rational use of neuroprotective agents, hormonotherapy, immunizations, and immunotherapy.     

肝钳与肝门阻断的肝损害及其防治的实验研究

本实验观察不同阻断时刻肝钳与肝门阻断的肝损害以及预防性应用抗氧化剂的缓解作用。结果表明：（１）ＳＧＰＴ、ＴＢ在肝钳组的变化比肝门阻断组表现得更为一过性。而肝门阻断给药组的改变要比非给药组的轻微且恢复得快。（２）肝门阻断时，ＭＤＡ含量显著升高，机体的Ｔ－ＡＯＣ和ＳＯＤ下降。而给药组可明显减轻上述改变。（３）随着肝门阻断时间的延长，肝组织损害也相应加重，抗氧化剂的给予缓解了肝缺血和再灌注造成的组织损害。肝钳组由于健肝血供未受干扰，因此，不同阻断时刻肝组织学形态与对照组相似无甚改变。结论：（１）肝钳较肝门阻断的肝损害轻，且实用安全。（２）肝门阻断预防性使用抗氧化剂，可明显减轻肝缺血再灌注损害。（３）肝门阻断时经门静脉较外周静脉输注抗氧化剂，其保护作用更直接、明显
