运动训练对雄性大鼠垂体─性腺轴功能的影响

本研究通过使用自己制造的大鼠流动水游泳池，对雄性大鼠进行了６周递增负荷的游泳训练，以此来探讨运动训练对大鼠垂体－性腺轴功能的影响，结果显示：与安静对照大鼠相比，训练大鼠的一般状态较差，血清睾酮水平显著降低（Ｐ＜０．０５），血清睾酮／皮质酮比值平均降低了３０％以上；而血清ＬＨ和ＦＳＨ水平未见明显变化。通过对大鼠睾丸组织ＬＨ／ＣＧ受体的测定，显示运动训练虽未引起其最大结合量的改变，却能使其解离常数显著升高（Ｐ＜０．０５）。提示此种训练可能通过降低睾丸ＬＨ／ＣＧ受体对垂体分泌ＬＨ的亲和力，从而影响睾酮的合成。     

大叶牛奶菜孕甾甙成分研究

用硅胶层析及反相硅胶层析法，从大叶牛奶菜（MarsdeniakoiTsiang）抗生育活性的甲醇提取物中分离获得一孕甾四糖甙。经化学反应，波谱分析，酸碱降解及其水解产物的鉴定，确定其结构为12-0-cvnnamyl-dihydrosarcostin-3-0-β-D-glucopyranosyl（l→4）-0-3-0-methyl-6-deoxy-β-D-allopyranosyl(1→4)-0-β-D-oleandropyranosyl(1→4)-0-β-D-cymaropyranoside,命名为大叶牛奶菜甙庚（marsdekoisideG）。经系统文献检索证明其为首次自该植物中分离得到。     

Upper Airway Obstruction With Hypoxaemia And Sleep Disruption In Down Syndrome

Six of 12 children with Down syndrome (DS) tested by means of long-term tape-recordings of oxygen saturation, breathing movements and expired CO2 were found to have previously undetected and severe upper airway obstruction during sleep. In five cases the obstruction occurred in the pharynx and in the sixth it was due to bilateral choanal stenosis. When compared with age-matched controls, overnight tape-recordings showed episodes of abnormal arterial hypoxaemia and an abnormally elevated end-tidal CO2. Episodes of obstruction were most marked during sleep associated with a non-regular breathing pattern. Abnormal episodes of hypoxaemia were associated with continued breathing movements. Sometimes there was no airflow (complete obstruction); at other times airflow continued normally or was reduced in amplitude (partial obstruction). During episodes of partial or complete airway obstruction the inspiratory waveform showed a characteristic shape. These results show sleep-related upper airway obstruction to be an often undetected complication of DS and all necessary measures should be taken to overcome the obstruction when it reaches the stage of producing abnormal hypoxaemia. Choanal dilatation and tracheostomy were successful in treating two of the children. Tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy were successful for one child, but only of marginal benefit for two others.     

丁胱亚磺酰亚胺排空组织谷胱甘肽对大鼠心肌谷胱甘肽系统的影响

目的:观察采用谷氨酰半胱氨酸合成酶抑制剂--丁胱亚磺酰亚胺(BSO)排空大鼠心肌谷胱甘肽(GSH)是否影响大鼠心肌组织GSH的稳态,以及是否对GSH代谢相关酶活性及mRNA表达产生影响.方法:采用长时间力竭运动、注射BSO排空GSH两种实验模型,比较对照组与注射BSO组SD大鼠心肌在静息状态和长时间力竭运动后GSH状态及其代谢变化.结果:注射BSO 8天后,大鼠心脏GSH含量分别为对照组?%,且GSH的下降伴随着氧化型谷胱甘肽(GSSG)的下降,GSH/GSSG的比值无显著变化.GSH排空导致GSH代谢酶活性发生适应性变化,注射BSO后心肌中谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶(GPX)活性与对照组相比显著下降(P < 0.001).注射BSO组与对照组相比,心肌谷氨酰转肽酶(GGT)活性显著增加(P < 0.05).注射BSO力竭组与注射BSO组相比,心肌GGT活性显著增加(P < 0.001),心肌注射BSO抑制γ-谷氨酰半胱酸合成酶(GCS)活性,注射BSO力竭组大鼠心肌GCS mRNA表达量高于注射BSO组,表明极度排空谷胱甘肽后,GCS mRNA表达量的增加可能是机体产生的应激反应.     

转化生长因子-β在哮喘气道炎症与重塑中的作用

Transforming growth factor-β(TGF-β) was reported to be increased in asthma in some studies. Accumulation of TGF-β in airway promotes smooth muscle cell mitogenesis and hyperplasia, and in-duces fibroblast and myofibroblast and smooth muscle proliferation as well as increase in protein synthesis in connective tissue(such as collagen deposition on the reticular basement membrane). The autocrine induction of collagen expression by smooth muscle may contribute to the thickening of the reticular basement membrane, irre-versible f‘throsis and remodeling seen in the airways in some asthmatics. TGF-β is considered to be a major fi-brogenic cytokine. It can increase smooth muscle mass and lead to severe bronchial obstruction in an asthma at-tack.     

CpG ODN增强乙肝疫苗在老年小鼠中的免疫应答

目的：探讨CpG ODN对老年小鼠的体液和细胞免疫应答的增强作用。方法：选用老年C57BL／6小鼠，将乙肝疫苗和10μg、20μg CpG ODN同时或单独肌注到小鼠体内，两周后以同样剂量加强免疫一次，再过3周后摘除眼球取血，用EILSA方法检测抗HBs16；抗体和IL-12；无菌取脾脏作HE染色，观察脾脏淋巴细胞变化。结果：10μg和20μg CpG ODN与疫苗同时注射组产生的抗体绝对量分别是单独注射疫苗组的3倍和4倍；产生的IL-12水平较对照组有明显升高，且20μg比10μCpG组产生的IL-12水平更高。光镜下各组的脾脏淋巴细胞的变化如下：正常老年鼠组脾脏淋巴细胞较正常青年鼠组明显稀少；老年鼠 10μgCpG组脾脏淋巴细胞较正常老年鼠组有了明显增加，且细胞核也明显增大；20μgCpG组增加的更加明显。结论：CpG ODN能增强乙肝疫苗在老年小鼠中的体液和细胞免疫应答。

田径运动员最大摄氧量和无氧功测试中血乳酸的应用

目的:研究田径运动员最大摄氧量和Wingate测试后血乳酸的变化,分析血乳酸对测试结果的意义。方法:测试田径短跑运动员36例和中长跑运动员29例的最大摄氧量和Wingate无氧功,以及测试后的血乳酸值。结果:最大摄氧量测试后血乳酸数值为9～11mmol/L左右,摄氧量与乳酸值没有直接相关关系,但不同项目之间有一定的差异;Wingate测试后血乳酸数值一般大于12mmol/L,测试的主要评价指标与乳酸值都有较高的相关关系。结论:血乳酸值对于最大摄氧量测试意义不大,但对于Wingate测试可以作为一项辅助评价指标。
