重度抑郁症大学生经短周期有氧运动处方干预后抑郁症状和心肺功能的变化

目的:观察短周期有氧运动处方的干预对重庆抑郁症大学生抑郁症状和心肺功能的影响。方法:于2005-09/10选择陕西省西安市8所高校中的11例患抑郁症的大学生,男6例,女5例;年龄18～25岁。均符合美国社会精神疾病的诊断统计手册标准重度抑郁症的诊断标准;均对干预方案知情同意。采用自编运动处方,即修订跑台测试方法进行有氧运动干预,训练在每周一至周六进行,每日进行5组,每组3min,共干预3周;强度以周围毛细血管血乳酸浓度达(3.0±0.5)mmol/L为标准,组间间歇期为其1/2强度至恢复,乳酸浓度监测在每第6个训练计划日进行。心率作为监测指标,由于对于训练计划的适应,心率会逐步降低,所以通过提高跑台的转速增加运动强度。运动强度评价采用Bord自我用力感觉量表,强度保持在13,14级(比较困难)。检测最大摄氧量,以反映心肺功能耐力运动表现。在训练计划开始和结束时用汉密顿抑郁量表(5级评分,0～4分,分数越高表示抑郁症状越严重)评估患者抑郁症严重程度。结果:患抑郁症大学生11名均进入结果分析。训练后患抑郁症大学生汉密顿抑郁量表分为(13.12±5.54)分,较训练前明显下降[(19.55±3.30)分,P<0.01]。训练前后患抑郁症大学生最大摄氧量分别为(35.24±10.10),(33.91±10.23)mL/(kg·min),两者比较,差异不明显(P=1.000)。结论:重度抑郁症大学生经短周期有氧训练后,抑郁症状明显改善,心肺功能未见明显增强。     

Cre recombinase-mediated site-specific recombination between plant chromosomes.

We report the use of the bacteriophage P1 Cre-loxsystem for generating conservative site-specific recombination between tobaccochromosomes. Two constructs, one containing a promoterless hygromycin-resistancegene preceded by a lox site (lox-hpt) and the other containing a cauliflowermosaic virus 35S promoter linked to a lox sequence and the cre coding region(35S-lox-cre), were introduced separately into tobacco plants. Crosses betweenplants harboring either construct produced plants with the two constructssituated on different chromosomes. Plants with recombination events wereidentified by selecting for hygromycin resistance, a phenotype expressed uponrecombination. Molecular analysis showed that these recombination eventsoccurred specifically at the lox sites and resulted in the reciprocal exchangeof flanking host DNA. Progenies of these plants showed 67-100% cotransmission ofthe new transgenes, 35S-lox-hpt and lox-cre, consistent with the preferentialcosegregation of translocated chromosomes. These results illustrate thatsite-specific recombination systems can be useful tools for the large-scalemanipulation of eukaryotic chromosomes in vivo.

解释——护理过程中应重视的一个环节

在护理过程中护士和患者进行频繁接触和互动,护士主要应从以下几点做好解释工作,达到消除患者各种顾虑,改善和融洽医患关系,增强与患者的配合能力,使护理工作顺利进行,杜绝护理差错事故的发生,使患者心情愉快,早日康复.①解释环节对护士的素质要求,护士有高尚的职业道德水准,有扎实的基础知识和丰富的临床实践经验.②解释前,对患者的情况做全面了解.③整个护理操作前解释、操作中指导和操作后嘱咐的内容和要求.④鼓励患者及家属积极提出问题,并能全面、科学地做知识解答.笔者旨在通过撰写此文,引起护理同仁对解释环节的重视,不断提高解释水平的护理质量.     

Influence of lecithin on mitochondrial DNA and age-related hearing loss.

OBJECTIVES: Lecithin is a polyunsaturated phosphatidylcholine (PPC), which are high energy functional and structural elements of all biologic membranes. PPC play a rate-limiting role in the activation of numerous membrane-located enzymes, including superoxide dismutase and glutathione, which are important antioxidants protecting cell membranes from damage by reactive oxygen species (ROS). ROS-induced damage to mitochondrial DNA may lead to reduced mitochondrial function in the cochlea and resultant hearing loss. STUDY DESIGN AND SETTING: The effects of lecithin on aging and age-associated hearing loss were studied in rats by measuring hearing sensitivities using auditory brainstem responses (ABR). In addition, mitochondrial function as a measure of aging was assessed by determining mitochondrial membrane potentials using flow cytometry and by amplifying mitochondrial DNA deletions associated with aging. Harlan-Fischer rats aged 18 to 20 months (n = 14) were divided into 2 groups. The experimental group was supplemented orally for 6 months with lecithin, a purified extract of soybean phospholipid (Nutritional Therapeutics, Allendale, NJ). RESULTS: The data obtained were compared with the control group. ABRs were recorded at 2-month intervals and showed significant preservation of hearing sensitivities in the treated subjects. Flow cytometry revealed significantly higher mitochondrial membrane potentials in the treated subjects, suggesting preserved mitochondrial function. Finally, the common aging mitochondrial DNA deletion (mtDNA(4834)) were amplified from brain and cochlear tissue including stria vascularis and auditory nerve. This specific deletion was found significantly less frequent in all tissues in the treated group compared with the controls. CONCLUSION: These experiments support our hypothesis and provide evidence that lecithin may preserve cochlear mitochondrial function and protect hearing loss associated with aging.     

LONG-TERM OUABAIN ADMINISTRATION DOES NOT ALTER BLOOD PRESSURE IN CONSCIOUS SPRAGUE-DAWLEY RATS

1. We tested the ability of ouabain to cause chronic hyper tension by continuously infusing ouabain for 28 days (mini-osmotic pump implantation; i.p.). The blood pressure and metabolic effects of sham (150 mmol/L NaCI; n= 12) or ouabain infusion (10 μg/kg per day; n= 14; 100 μg/kg per day; n = 14) were examined in conscious Sprague-Dawley rats. 2. Plasma ouabain concentrations measured after 28 days of ouabain infusion were as follows: sham, not detectable (n= 11); ouabain 10 μg/kg per day, 0.60 ± 0.07 nmol/L (n= 14); and ouabain 100 μg/kg per day, 7.17 ± 0.57 nmol/L (n= 14; P < 0.001). 3. Sham or ouabain infusion did not alter food intake, bodyweight, water intake or urine output in conscious rats. 4. Blood pressure was not altered by sham treatment. Ouabain at 10 μg/kg per day or 100 μg/kg per day did not produce consistent rises in blood pressure. Ouabain at 10 μg/kg per day increased blood pressure on treatment day 12 only (+ 6mmHg; P < 0.05), while at 100μg/kg per day blood pres sure increased on treatment days 16 (+ 9 mmHg; P < 0.05) and day 18 (+ 8mmHg; P < 0.05) only. There was no significant difference in blood pressure between sham and ouabain groups. 5. Renal blood flow was decreased in rats infused with ouabain at 10 μg/kg per day (2.0 ± 0.3 mL/min per 100 g body-weight; n= 5; P < 0.01) and 100 μg/kg per day (2.2 ± 0.4 mL/ min per 100 g bodyweight; n= 7; P < 0.05) compared with sham treatment (3.5 ± 0.2 mL/min per 100 g bodyweight; n= 6). Renal vascular resistance was increased in rats treated with ouabain at 10 μg/kg per day (65.5 ± 12.6 mmHg/mL per min per 100 g bodyweight; n= 5; P < 0.01) and 100 μg/kg per day (66.0 ± 15.6 mmHg/mL per min per 100 g bodyweight; n= 7; P < 0.05) compared with sham treatment (32.6 ± 2.5 mmHg/mL per min per 100 g bodyweight; n= 6). 6. High plasma concentrations of ouabain do not cause consistent increases in blood pressure in conscious Sprague-Dawley rats.
