Monitoring the protective effects of minocycline treatment with radiolabeled annexin V in an experimental model of focal cerebral ischemia.

Minocycline is an antibiotic now recognized to have antiapoptotic and antiinflammatory properties. Because of these properties, minocycline may be of benefit in reducing neuronal apoptosis from ischemia and subsequent postischemic inflammation if administered soon after a stroke. We now explore the feasibility of using (99m)Tc-annexin V, an in vivo marker of apoptosis, with SPECT to monitor the antiapoptotic effects of minocycline therapy. METHODS: CB6/F1 adult male mice underwent unilateral distal middle cerebral artery occlusion (dMCA) occlusion and were imaged and sacrificed at 1, 3, 7, or 30 d after injury. Animals were given minocycline (or vehicle) 30 min and 12 h after dMCA occlusion and then given 22.5 mg/kg twice daily for up to 7 d. Before imaging, behavioral tests were performed to evaluate the neurologic function. After imaging, brains were collected for histology and assessed for the degree of apoptosis and microglial activation. RESULTS: (99m)Tc-Annexin V uptake in injured hemispheres was significantly decreased 2- to 3-fold by minocycline at all time points. Minocyline reduced infarct size as seen histologically and improved behavioral indices as late as 30 d. Infarct volume as seen histologically correlated with radiolabeled annexin V uptake seen by SPECT. In situ fluorescent microscopy demonstrated that annexin V bound primarily to neurons at 1 and 3 d, with a shift toward microglia by 7 and 30 d. CONCLUSION: We found that minocycline significantly reduces neuronal apoptosis and infarct size and improves neurologic outcome in mice after acute focal cortical ischemia.

Effects ofTripterygium hypoglaucum (Lévl.) Hutch on male fertility

Tripterygium hypoglaucum (Lévl.) Hutch (TH) is a perennial used in Chinese traditional medicine for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and various skin disorders. One study showed that daily oral doses of TH significantly reduced the fertility of male rats without apparent toxicity. The effects of daily oral doses of TH on the fertility of men taking it for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis were evaluated. Sperm concentration, motility and motility grade all were significantly reduced in the 13 men taking TH compared to 11 untreated controls. TH therapy did not affect testosterone, FSH, LH levels, and its antifertility effects appeared to be reversible.

Resumen Triperygium hypoglaucum (Lévl.) Hutch (TH) es una perenne usada en la medicina tradicional china para el tratamiento de artritis reumatoidea y de varios desórdenes de la piel. Un estudio demostró que orales diarias de TH reducían significativamente la fertilidad en ratas macho, sin toxicidad aparente. Se evaluaron los efectos de dosis diarias orales de TH en la fertilidad de hombres que le tomaban para el tratamiento de la artritis reumatoidea. La concentración de espermatozoides, la motilidad y el grado de motilidad, se encontraron significativamente reducidos en los 13 hombres tomando TH comparados con 11 controles no tratados. La terapia con TH no afectó los niveles de testosterona, FSH y LH y sus efectos antifertilidad parecían ser reversibles.

Resumé LeTriperygium hypoglaucum Hutch (TH) est communément utilisé en médecine traditionnelle chinoise pour le traitement de la polyarthrite chronique évolutive (PCE) et de divers troubles cutanés. Une étude a montré que l'administation quotidienne de doses orales de TH réduisait considérablement la fécondité de rats mâles sans provoquer de toxicité apparente. On a évalué les effets de doses quotidiennes administrées par voie orale sur la fécondité d'hommes atteints de PCE et traités au TH. La concentration, la motilité et le degré de motilité du sperme avaient significativement diminué chez 13 hommes traités au TH par comparaison avec 11 témoins non traités. Le traitement au TH n'a eu aucun effet sur les niveaux de testostérone, FSH et LH et ses effets anti-fécondants semblent être réversibles.

     

高危新生儿脑干听觉诱发电位的近期观察

目的 为了解高危新生儿脑干及听觉功能障碍情况.方法 于1995年8月～1996年1月对128例高危新生儿进行脑干听觉诱发电位(Anditory Brainstem Responses—ABR)测定.结果 急性期高危新生儿ABR异常率为51.4%,其中高胆红素血症,低体重儿,窒息和丁胺卡那霉素应用组ABR异常率分别为61.1%、66.7%、53.8%和 2.8%.血清胆红素(Sb)值>290.7μmol/L和重度窒息儿ABR异常率明显高于Sb<290.7μmol/L和轻度窒息儿.早产儿和足月小样儿ABR异常率无明显差异.丁卡组对听阀的近期影响不大.结论 高危新生儿是脑干和听觉功能障碍的高危人群,应当密切随防和早期干预.     

光照疗法对新生儿红细胞谷胱甘肽还原酶活性的影响

作者对光照疗法（光疗）前及光疗后于口服维生素Ｂ＿２（４３例）和不予口服维生素Ｂ＿２（１７例）的黄疸新生儿的红细胞谷胱甘肽还原酶（ＧＲ）的活性进行了动态观察。结果显示，接受短期光疗的黄疸新生儿其红细胞ＧＲ活性较光疗前的ＧＲ活性有显著下降，光疗后予口服维生素Ｂ＿２可使下降的红细胞ＧＲ活性回升，而不予补充维生素Ｂ＿２者的红细胞ＧＲ活性继续下降。光疗的时间越长，红细胞ＧＲ活性的下降越明显，补充维生素Ｂ＿２使红细胞ＧＲ活性回复到正常水平所需的时间也越长。短期光疗也可引起体内维生素Ｂ＿２的降解，导致红细胞ＧＲ活性的下降，为避免因红细胞ＧＲ活性下降引起的红细胞额外破坏，对接受光疗的黄疸新生儿常规补充维生素Ｂ＿２的是必要的。

Synthesis and cholinergic properties of bis[[(dimethylamino)methyl]furanyl] analogues of ranitidine.

The histaminergic H2 antagonist, ranitidine, has also been found to significantly inhibit acetylcholinesterase (AChE) in vitro. In an effort to develop novel, nonquaternary AChE inhibitors capable of penetrating into the CNS and alleviating the cholinergic deficit characteristic of Alzheimer's disease, a series of bis[[(dimethylamino)methyl]furanyl] analogues of ranitidine has been synthesized. All compounds were evaluated for human erythrocyte AChE inhibitory activity and compared to ranitidine, physostigmine, and tetrahydro-9-aminoacridine (THA). The most active AChE inhibitors were N,N'-disubstituted derivatives of 2-nitro-1,1-ethenediamine and 4,6-dinitro-1,3-benzenediamine, with compound 8 demonstrating activity greater than physostigmine. Deletion of the diaminonitroethene group in a series of alkyl and aryl bis-thioethers, yielded a number of slightly less active compounds, comparable in potency to THA. The 13 most active AChE inhibitors all demonstrated a more selective inhibition of AChE, as opposed to butyrylcholinesterase inhibition, than did THA. Compounds 3 and 22 were equally active to THA in potentiating rat ileal contractions. Binding studies demonstrated M1 and M2 cholinergic receptor affinities slightly greater than or equal to THA. Differential receptor binding studies showed compound 12 resembled THA in agonist/antagonist activity. Compounds 11-13 significantly elevated mouse brain acetylcholine levels, when administered at 80% of their approximate lethal doses, but were less active than THA or physostigmine.     

医械时代

曾几何时,一个小药箱,一个听诊器,就是一个医生的全部家当。但今天这也许意味着医疗事故官司和失去患者信任度的双重危险。在科学日益昌明的现在,医者和患者都越来越仰仗更昂贵、更先进的仪器,而在这现象之后,是各种医疗仪器设备的迅速普及,是诊疗过程的快速、高效和缜密,是更多科技新发明对人体的近距离关照,当然随之衍生出来的,还有过度医疗服务的不当取利,和种种难见阳光的幕后交易。
