单侧外周伤害性刺激诱发大鼠脊髓中转录因子CREB的双侧磷酸化(英文)

c AMP反应成分结合蛋白 (c AMP response elem ent-binding protein,CREB)是一种转录因子 ,它在磷酸化之后可调节靶基因的转录。 CREB在 13 3位置的丝氨酸的磷酸化 ,与脊髓中伤害性传入的处理有关 ,本文作者等用特殊抗体对此进行了免疫细胞化学研究。在正常大鼠 ,虽然几乎所有脊髓神经元的核中都可见 CREB的轻度着色 ,但磷酸化的 CREB仅见于双侧腰段脊髓的 ～ 层 (75± 15 vs60± 18)和 层 (9± 3 )。用福尔马林注射引起一侧后脚掌出现炎症时 ,可在双侧腰段脊髓看到磷酸化CREB细胞核的快速 (小于 5 min)和节段性的显著增多 ;它们主要分布在双侧背角表层 ～ 层 (2 5 4± 2 0 vs 2 62± 2 3 )、 层(115± 13 )和双侧 ～ 层 (3 46± 2 0 vs3 2 8± 2 6) ;而在对照和炎症组大鼠的胸段脊髓中均未见磷酸化 CREB的增加。在注射CFA诱发一侧炎症或切断一侧坐骨神经的实验组大鼠 ,也可看到至少延续到第三天的强而双侧性的 CREB的磷酸化。这种由一侧后肢伤害性传入引致腰段脊髓中镜像式双侧 CREB磷酸化的出现 ,与一般看到的损伤传入只在同侧脊髓背角引起某些神经化学改变的结果不同 ,可能是人神经损伤后或在实验动物中出现对侧镜像式疼痛过敏现象的基础

Microiontophoresis of cocaine, desipramine, sulpiride, methysergide, and naloxone in habenula and parafasciculus

The effects of microiontophoretically applied cocaine, desipramine (DES), sulpiride (SUL), methysergide (METH), and naloxone (NAL) on the responses of physiologically identified single neurons in the habenula (Hab) and parafasciculus thalami nucleus (PF) were examined in rats. Three cell types were identified in both nuclei on the basis of the responses obtained following noxious stimulation that were classified as "nociceptive-on," "nociceptive-off," and "nonnociceptive" cells. Administration of cocaine generally resulted in a decrease in the firing rate of nociceptive-on and nonnociceptive neurons in both Hab and PF. In contrast, cocaine generally induced an excitation in the baseline firing of the nociceptive-off cells. Cocaine application concomitant with noxious stimulation prevented the evoked responses of the nociceptive-on and the nociceptive-off cells. DES, when applied alone, was found to induce excitation in neuronal discharge of all three cell types in both sites. Combined application of cocaine with DES resulted in no observable change in discharge frequency for the nociceptive-on and nonnociceptive cells, while inducing an additive excitatory effect on the nociceptive-off cells. SUL, in contrast, induced no observable effect on baseline firing when given alone, yet consistently antagonized cocaine-induced effects on all three cell types. Finally, METH and NAL induced no effects on baseline firing or cocaine-induced modifications in neuronal discharge frequency.     

Determination of trace selenium in human body by anodic stripping voltammetry at gold-disc electrode

Summary For determination of trace Se we used high-pressure wet digester to pretreat the specimens obtained from the human body. This method is very effective in preventing loss of Se by volatilization which often occurs in the sample pretreatment. We studied the method of using anodic stripping voltammetry at gold-disc electrode to measure the trace Se present in the human body and found it to be the optimal procedure. The detection limitation was about 2x10⁻⁸ g/L, the recovery rate of Se about 96.6±6,7 % , and the coefficient of variation CV = 7.0%.     

氯丙嗪预处理对冷保存肝脏缺血性损伤的影响

目的：本实验旨在探讨利用氯丙嗪预处理供体,观察对冷保存过程中供体肝脏缺血性损伤的保护作用及其作用机制。方法：切取大鼠肝脏在0℃Euro-Collins液中冷保存,每隔2小时切取肝脏标本测定GSH,ATP含量。结果：实验结果表明,随着肝脏冷保存时间的延长,对照组肝组织内的GSH及ATP含量迅速下降。实验组肝组织内的GSH和ATP含量下降速度明显缓慢。结论：本文认为,氯丙嗪预处理供体有改善肝组织在冷保存过程中的缺血性损伤作用。其主要作用机制可能是由于氯丙嗪作为Ca^ 通道的阻滞剂,降低肝细胞胞浆内Ca^ 浓度,减少ATP的消耗和氧自由基的生成,维持肝组织内GSH和ATP的含量,从而减轻了肝脏在冷保存过程中的缺血性损伤。     

Novel stop-gain RNF170 variation detected in a Chinese family with adolescent-onset hereditary spastic paraplegia

Hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) is a heterogeneous group of inherited neurodegenerative disease characterized by progressive lower limb spasticity. Recent studies revealed that biallelic variants in RNF170 gene cause autosomal recessive complicated HSP with infancy onset. Here, we report an adolescent-onset HSP patient from a consanguineous Chinese family, with lower extremity stiffness, spastic gait, and unstable straight-line walking as the main manifestations. Whole-exome sequencing identifies a novel RNF170 mutation c.190C>T (p.R64*), which co-segregates with the disease in this pedigree. Functional analysis, including quantitative real-time PCR (RT-qPCR) and Western blot, indicates that both the mRNA and protein levels of mutant RNF170 are significantly reduced, which confirms the loss-of-function mechanism. Our study expands the spectrum of RNF170-associated HSP, while the RNF170 protein-involved degradation of the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor in neurodegenerative motor neuron disorders deserves further investigation.
