Antimutagenic properties of bell and black peppers.

The wing Somatic Mutation And Recombination Test (SMART) in Drosophila melanogaster was used to study the modulating action of bell pepper (Capsicum annuum) and black pepper (Piper nigrum) in combination with the alkylating agent methyl methanesulfonate (MMS) and the promutagen agent ethyl carbamate (EC). Larvae trans-heterozygous for the third chromosome recessive markers multiple wing hairs (mwh) and flare-3 [flr(3)] were fed genotoxins alone or in combination with each of the two spices. Genetic changes induced in somatic cells of the wing's imaginal discs lead to the formation of mutant clones on the wing blade. Our results showed that bell pepper was effective in reducing the mutational events induced by EC and MMS and black pepper was only effective against EC. Pretreatment of 2-day-old larvae with the spices for 24 h followed by a treatment with EC and MMS was only effective in reducing mutations induced by EC. Suppression of metabolic activation or interaction with the active groups of mutagens could be mechanisms by which the spices exert their antimutagenic action.     

Sustained-release theophylline-uniphyllin in nocturnal asthmatics

For a period of six months, we collected 12 cases of nocturnal asthmatics (7 males, 5 females); their ages ranged from 20 to 66 (the average age is 49). We found that administration of Uniphyllin (10 mg/kg) once a day at 6 PM could maintain the blood level of theophylline within therapeutic range at least 12 to 24 hrs. The peak expiratory flow rate of the 6 cases we collected, were significantly improved. The result of pharmokinetic parameters: 1) The average of a single dose (12 cases) is AUC (ug. hr/ml) 275.1 +/- 62. k; Kel (hr-1) 0.068 +/- 0.019; Ka (hr-1) 0.33 +/- 0.07); Tmax (hr) 6.3 +/- 1.4; T 1/2 (hr) 11.2 +/- 4.4; Clearance/F (ml/kg/hr) 37.9 +/- 9.0.2). The average of steady state (12 cases) is Css (mg/L) 5. 7 +/- 2.6; Cmax-Cmin (mg/L) 10.09 +/- 1.46.3). The average of relative bioavailability (3 cases) is 82%, 83%, 102%. However, the extent of absorption data is available for only 3 subjects. There are too few subjects to draw any meaningful conclusions about this relative bioavailability. Four cases show slight symptoms, including 1 case of dizziness, 2 cases of nausea, and 1 case gaseousness. It is suggested that the drug be administered at about 6-8 PM to coincide peak levels in the early morning in nocturnal asthmatics.     

Aging reverts to juvenile conditions the synaptic connectivity of cerebral cortical pyramidal shafts.

Quantitative analysis of the total number and distribution of dendritic spines along the apical shafts of layer V cerebral cortical pyramids has been performed on aging rats (90-120 to 1,135 days old) and on rats during the period of early and late development (10-80 days). As expected from previous work, present results show that the total number of dendritic spines along the shafts increase from 10 to 80 days, after which it starts to gradually decrease until the last age studied (1,135 days). The quantitative analysis of the effect of aging on the relative decrease of dendritic spines shows that this decrease starts being homogeneous along the whole length of the apical shafts and that from a certain age onwards, estimated according to present results in 400 days, this effect is significantly more pronounced in layers IV and III-II than in deep layers. Furthermore, the comparison made between the distribution of dendritic spines along the apical shafts of pyramidal neurons of old and young animals has shown that aging produces a regression of this distribution to juvenile conditions.     

The role of the posterior cricoarytenoid muscle in phonation: an electromyographic investigation in dogs

The activity of the posterior cricoarytenoid muscle during respiration has been well investigated electromyographically. Its activity during phonation, however, has not been studied systematically. We, therefore, focused our attention on the phonatory activity of the posterior cricoarytenoid muscle to confirm whether it also contracts during phonation, as has been reported by some researchers. In our series of 12 adult dogs, the posterior cricoarytenoid was active in 11 dogs and inactive in one dog during phonation. Our present study also showed that the posterior cricoarytenoid activity was stronger for phonation than for inspiration in 6, stronger for inspiration than for phonation in 3, and the same for phonation and inspiration in 2 dogs. The results obtained from the present electromyographic evaluation demonstrated that the posterior cricoarytenoid is activated during phonation. The authors believe that the posterior cricoarytenoid muscle has phonatory function and that the phonatory effect of this muscle on the vocal cord may play an important role in precise glottis control.

双阴性选择法纯化培养人骨髓多能成体祖细胞

OBJECTIVE: To establish a method for purifying and culturing human multipotent adult progenitor cells (MAPCs) in vitro. METHODS: Mononuclear cells were separated from the bone marrow of healthy adult volunteers by density gradient centrifugation and cultivated in adherent culture. The plastic-adherent cultured bone marrow cells were isolated by magnetic-activated cell sorting with CD45 and GlyA magnetic microbeads, and the purity of CD45-/GlyA- cells evaluated by flow cytometry. Phase-contrast microscopy was used to detect morphological changes of the cells in different stages of culture. RESULTS: Approximately (5-10)x10(4)/ml MAPCs could be separated from every 1x10(6)/ml bone marrow mononuclear cells by magnetic- activated cell sorting. The viability of the cells before and after separation was (96.7+/-1.7)% and (96.0+/-2.4)%, respectively. The isolated MAPCs grew well in a self-prepared culture medium till the16th passage. The purity of CD45-/GlyA- separated from the bone marrow was more than 98% as examined by flow cytomety even till the 12th passage. CONCLUSIONS: MAPCs derived from adult human bone marrow can be purified by magnetic-activated cell sorting with CD45 and GlyA microbeads and retain the undifferentiated state for a long time. The self-prepared culture medium is appropriate for MAPCs cultures in vitro.
