女性海洛因依赖者性机能和性心理研究

本文对６０名女性海洛因依赖者与５４名健康女性的月经、生育等女性生理机能和性心理及性行为进行调查分析。发现女性海洛因依赖者月经异常率为９５．０％，显著高于对照组６．８％（Ｐ＜０．００１）；海洛因对性欲和性行为影响明显，吸注海洛因成瘾后，３５．０％性欲减退，５８．３％性欲消失；性行为方式：吸毒前９６．７％以性交为主，吸毒成瘾后仅１５．０％以性交为主（Ｐ＜０．００１），８５％以非性交接触为主；海洛因成瘾后性能力明显障碍，性交次数由吸毒前平均４．９±１．６次／周减少至平均０．４±０．２次／周（Ｐ＜０．０１）。结果表明：海洛因对女性生理机能和心理卫生具有明显损害作用。     

Neuroimmunomodulation with enkephalins: enhancement of human natural killer (NK) cell activity in vitro

To further define the effects of enkephalins on immune function, the effect of methionine-enkephalin and leucine-enkephalin on natural killer cell (NK) activity in isolated human peripheral blood lymphocytes was investigated. Incubation of lymphocytes with either enkephalin resulted in significant increases in natural killer cell activity. At effector:target cell ratios of 11:1 methionine-enkephalin significantly (P less than 0.05) enhanced NK activity at dilutions of 10(-6), 10(-8), 10(-10), and 10(-14) mg/ml, while leucine-enkephalin significantly (P less than 0.05) enhanced NK activity at dilutions of 10(-4), 10(-6), 10(-8), 10(-10), and 10(-14) mg/ml. Cells from individuals with low NK activity showed greater percentage increases in NK activity following enkephalin than did cells from individuals with high NK activity.

A NOVEL DRB1*0801 HAPLOTYPE CARRYING DRB3*0202 FOUND IN A GERMAN PEDIGREE

DRB1*08 haplotypes have not been known to carry a DRB3 gene. We have found a patient suffering from liver disease who has a novel HLA haplotype of DRB1*0801 with DRB3*0202 as established by family segregation. These two genes were confirmed by sequencing. DR8 and DR52 antigen specificities were serologically detected, indicating expression of these genes.

Divergent effects of prostaglandin receptor signaling on neuronal survival

Induction of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) with production of prostaglandins occurs in a wide spectrum of acute and chronic neurodegenerative diseases and is associated with neuronal death. Inhibition of the COX-2 pathway and downstream production of prostaglandins protect neurons in rodent models of cerebral ischemia and neurodegeneration. Recent studies investigating the functions of selected prostaglandin receptor pathways in mediating COX-2 neurotoxicity have demonstrated both toxic and paradoxically neuroprotective effects of several receptors in models of excitotoxicity. In this study, we investigate the functions of additional prostaglandin receptors not previously characterized in organotypic models of glutamate excitotoxicity. We find that PGD₂, PGI₂, and PGF_2α receptors protect motor neurons in an organotypic spinal cord model of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). In addition, PGI₂ and TXA₂ receptors rescue CA1 neurons in an organotypic hippocampal model of N-methyl-d-aspartate excitotoxicity. However, in a model of inflammation induced by lipopolysaccharide, prostaglandin receptors previously found to be protective in excitotoxicity now cause CA1 neuronal death. Taken together, these studies identify novel eicosanoid receptor signaling pathways that mediate neuronal protection in excitotoxic paradigms; these data also support the emerging hypothesis that the toxic/protective effects of eicosanoid signaling on neuronal viability diverge significantly depending on whether excitotoxicity or inflammation predominates as the underlying toxic stimulus.
