Inhibition of a dihydropyridine, omega-conotoxin insensitive Ca2+ channel in rat synaptosomes by venom of the spider Hololena curta.

Inhibition of the N and L type Ca2+ channels with omega conotoxin GVIA (omega-CgTx) together with the dihydropyridine (-)-202-791 produces slight reduction (congruent to 25%) of K(+)-evoked Ca2+ influx in mammalian synaptosomes. These results and others suggest the existence of a third high threshold voltage sensitive calcium channel (VSCC) responsible for the majority of influx. Venom from the funnel web spider Hololena curta potently and persistently inhibited Ca2+ influx in rat cortical synaptosomes (IC50 1:10,000 or 4.21 micrograms/venom protein/ml of synaptosomes). Also Ca2+ influx in cerebellar synaptosomes was inhibited in a similar manner. K(+)-evoked tritium release from synaptosomes labeled with [3H]noradrenaline was inhibited by Hololena venom (congruent to 60% reduction at 10 micrograms/venom protein). Inhibition of Ca2+ influx by venom was unaffected by combined omega-CgTx and (-)-202-791 pretreatment (both 1 microM). Hololena venom and its active constituent should provide useful tools to investigate the role of this novel Ca2+ channel in neuronal function.     

腹部外科感染主要病原菌及药物敏感性的变化趋势

尽管越来越多强有力的新型抗生素应用于临床,感染依然是外科面临的重大难题之一.由于宿主、微生物和抗菌药物三方面各自力量的消长和相互间关系的变动,腹部外科感染性疾病常见细菌的构成比和药物敏感性均处于不断变化的过程中,只有及时掌握这种变化趋势,才能针对性地选用最有效的抗菌药物进行治疗,从而降低术后感染并发症、减少住院时间、减轻病人的经济负担和提高治愈率.

Macrophages are activated by 17beta-estradiol: possible permission role in endometriosis.

On the basis of the common occurrence of high concentration of estrogen and activated macrophages in patients with endometriosis, we postulate that interaction between 17beta-estradiol and macrophage may be an important affair in endometriosis. So our study was focused on the effect of 17beta-estradiol on macrophage. First morphology of macrophages was examined with environmental scanning electron microscopy. Increased size, extension of more microvilli, expression of retraction fibers and elaboration of membrane ruffles were detected in 17beta-estradiol treated macrophages. Then Nitrate and nitrite level in the supernatant was measured by the method of Griess and iNOS expression was analyzed using immunohistochemical staining. It showed that 17beta-estradiol could induce NO release from peritoneal macrophages and expression of iNOS was increased. Also more TNF-alpha in supernatant that was measured by MTT via L929 cell was produced by macrophages under the inducing of 17beta-estradiol. Furthermore, [Ca2+]i, which was viewed by microscope in a laser scanning confocal unit, elevated 39.8% in peritoneal macrophages after 17beta-estradiol 100 nmol/L treated. The results above demonstrated that peritoneal macrophage had been activated in both morphology and cytokine line when interaction with 17beta-estradiol, which indicated that macrophage activated by 17beta-estradiol might play a permission role in development of endometriosis.

端粒酶在鳞状细胞癌和Bowen病组织中的表达

目的探讨端粒酶在皮肤鳞状细胞癌(SCC)及Bowen病(BD)病变组织中的表达及其临床意义。方法应用原位杂交方法检测30例皮肤SCC和30例BD病变组织中端粒酶基因hTR和hTERTmRNA的表达。结果在BD组织中hTR和hTERTmRNA呈弱表达,阳性率为23.33%和16.67%。在SCC中,hTR和hTERTmRNA的阳性率分别为86.67%和93.33%。其中Ⅰ、Ⅱ级SCC阳性率分别为82.35%和88.24%,无强阳性;Ⅲ、Ⅳ级SCC阳性率分别为92.31%和100%、强阳性表达率分别为69.23%和76.92%。SCC和BD两者比较差异有显著性(P<0.05)。SCCⅠ、Ⅱ级与Ⅲ、Ⅳ级比较差异有显著性(P<0.05)。结论端粒酶hTR和hTERTmRNA的表达增多是预测皮肤SCC的重要因素。     

Tardive dyskinesia in children treated with atypical antipsychotic medications.

Recent years have witnessed increased antipsychotic treatment of children despite limited long‐term safety data in children. In this study, motor side effects associated with the use of antipsychotic drugs in children were examined in a sample of pediatric psychiatric patients. Child and adolescent psychiatric patients receiving antipsychotics (most were on atypicals) for 6 months or longer (n = 118) were compared with antipsychotic‐naïve patients (n = 80) with similar age, sex ratio, and diagnoses. Only 19% of patients on antipsychotics had ever experienced psychotic symptoms. Eleven children (9%) on antipsychotics exhibited dyskinesia, when compared with 0 in the naïve group (P = 0.003, Fisher's exact test). Nine of 62 African–American children (15%) on antipsychotics exhibited dyskinesia, when compared with only 4% (2 of 52) of European–American children (P = 0.003, Fisher's exact test). Children treated with antipsychotic drugs might experience a significant risk of dyskinesia even when treated only with atypical antipsychotics. Ethnicity might also be a risk factor for dyskinesia in children. Side‐effect profile of the atypical antipsychotic drugs in children may be much different than that in adults. © 2007 Movement Disorder Society

目的：了解躁狂症患者的血清一氧化氮(NO)水平。方法：对20例躁狂症患者的血清NO水平进行检测，采用Bech-Rafaelsen躁狂量表(BRMS)进行评定。以18例正常体检者为对照。结果：躁狂症组的血清NO水平明显高于正常对照组，血清NO水平与BRMS分之间未发现有相关性。结论：躁狂症患者存在相对较高的血清NO水平，可能是躁狂发作的病理生理基础。     

Saccular Aneurysm of the Azygos Anterior Cerebral Artery: Three Case Reports

The azygos anterior cerebral artery, a rare anomaly in the circle of Willis in which only a single vessel supplies the medial aspects of both anterior cerebral hemispheres, is closely associated with saccular aneurysms. We present three cases of azygos anterior cerebral artery aneurysms among the 781 cerebral aneurysms surgically treated at our institution in an 11-year period. These three cases all involved elderly women who presented with subarachnoid hemorrhage. Conventional cerebral angiography and CT angiography revealed small saccular aneurysms at the distal ends of the azygos anterior cerebral arteries. These aneurysms were clipped successfully using a bifrontal interhemispheric approach. Hence, the pathogenesis of these particular aneurysms relating to hemodynamic change, associated anomalies, and surgical pitfalls is discussed with review of literature.
