十八甲基炔诺酮透皮控释传递系统在人体不同部位皮肤的药物动力学

6名健康妇女分别于上臂、臀部和腹部三部位经皮给予合LNG的透皮控释传递系统（TCDS）后，用放射免疫法测定LNG血清浓度，计算其主要药物动力学参数。结果表明：在TCDS用药期间，三部位的C（max）、T（max）及AUC（0～168h）基本接近，部位间无显著性差异（P＞0．05）；TCDS揭除后，AUC（168～204h）及消除相半衰期T（1／2）（Ke）均以腹部最大，臀部次之，上臂最小，在腹部与上臂间有显著性差异（P＜0．05）。上述结果可归因于TCDS对LNG的控释和人体皮下脂肪的“贮库效应”。     

Morphologic and electrophysiologic maturation in developing dentate gyrus granule cells

Dentate gyrus granule cells from immature (7-28 days) Sprague-Dawley rats were examined with whole cell patch clamp recordings and biocytin filling in in vitro hippocampal slice preparations. Although recordings were confined to the middle third of the suprapyramidal limb of the dentate, the granule cells exhibited marked variability in their physiologic properties: input resistance (IR) ranged from 250 MOmega to 3 GOmega, and resting membrane potential (RMP) from -82 to -41 mV. Both IR and RMP were inversely correlated with dendritic length, a morphometric indicator of cell maturity. Thus the highest IR cells were the youngest, and maturation was characterized by a progressive decrease in IR, hyperpolarization of RMP, and elongation of the dendritic arbor. When cells were grouped by IR, significant intergroup differences were found in RMP, dendritic length, and number of dendritic terminal branches. Although cells of all IR categories were examined throughout the age spectrum under study, none of the inter-IR group differences was age-dependent. These data suggest that IR provides a reasonable estimate of granule cell maturity and that maturation entails predictable changes in cell properties and morphology. These aspects of maturation correlate with each other, are independent of animal age, and most likely proceed according to a program related to cell birth.     

Physiology and pharmacology of native glycine receptors in developing rat ventral tegmental area neurons

Properties of whole-cell glycine-activated currents (I(Gly)) of neurons freshly isolated from ventral tegmental area of rats between postnatal day (P) 0 and 40 (P0-P40) were examined using the gramicidin-perforated patch technique. I(Gly) was present throughout the period of investigation and displayed age-related alternations in its kinetics, reversal potentials (E(Gly)) and sensitivity to antagonists. During development, the time constant for desensitization of I(Gly) decreased about two-fold, and the E(Gly) shifted to more negative potentials. Specifically, E(Gly) was -29 mV in neonatal (P0-P7) and decreased to -50 mV in adult (P24-P40) neurons. While the neonatal glycine receptors (GlyRs) are resistant to strychnine, the adult GlyRs are sensitive to STR. The values for 50% inhibition (IC(50)) of I(Gly) was 110 and 12 nM in P0-P3 and P24-P40 neurons, respectively. Picrotoxin, on the other hand, was more effective in blocking neonatal neurons. The IC(50) values were 17 and 231 microM for the neonatal and adult neurons, respectively. These observations are discussed in terms of developmental changes of subunit composition of GlyRs and of intracellular Cl(-) concentrations.     

全肠外营养对早产儿营养、免疫功能及行为发育的影响

【目的】探讨全肠外营养(TPN)对早产儿营养、免疫功能及行为发育的影响。【方法】监测55例TPN治疗早产儿的营养状况、肝肾功能、血脂水平、免疫功能及矫正胎龄40周时行为发育情况，并与25例未行TPN的早产儿对照分析。【结果】TPN治疗组体重增长快、体重日增长及治疗后体重高于对照组，TPN治疗后血清蛋白、免疫球蛋白及补体水平升高，肝肾功能及血脂检查无明显异常，矫正胎龄40周时NBNA评分高于对照组。【结论】TPN能改善早产儿营养状况、促进免疫水平的提高和行为神经的发育，对早产儿的治疗有重要意义。     

临床瞳孔检查新进展

瞳孔每时每刻处于动态的变化之中,因此瞳孔的检查也是一个较为复杂的过程。随着对屈光手术质量要求的日益提高,特别是暗适应下瞳孔的大小往往在一定程度上可能决定着术后质量的好坏,因此暗适应下瞳孔的精确测量变得尤为重要。现对近年来涌现的瞳孔检查新技术作一简要概括。     

皮脂腺细胞体外培养及生长调节的研究进展
