N-methyl-D-aspartate exposure blocks glutamate toxicity in cultured cerebellar granule cells.

Exposure of cultured cerebellar granule cells to glutamate results in a concentration-dependent (EC50 = 22.7 +/- 0.4 microM) and delayed (24-72 hr) neurotoxicity, which is blocked by the specific N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonists 2-amino-5-phosphovalerate and MK-801 but is unaffected by the non-NMDA receptor antagonists 6-cyano-7-nitroquinoxaline-2,3-dione and 6,7-dinitroquinoxaline-2,3-dione. Although glutamate toxicity in these cells is mediated by the NMDA subtype of glutamate receptor, pretreatment of cerebellar granule cells with subtoxic concentrations of NMDA markedly antagonizes the neurotoxic actions of glutamate, with an IC50 of 55 +/- 4 microM. The neuroprotective effect of NMDA requires a preincubation time of approximately 120 min to be fully manifested and does not require the presence of NMDA during glutamate exposure. These data demonstrate that NMDA receptors mediate both neurotoxicity and neuroprotection in cerebellar granule cells. Among four glutamate receptor agonists tested (NMDA, quisqualate, ibotenate, and kainate), only NMDA was able to provide a robust neuroprotection against glutamate toxicity. Quisqualate was neither neurotoxic nor neuroprotective, whereas ibotenate, which was nontoxic by itself, induced a small degree of neuroprotection. In contrast, kainate, which was neurotoxic to cerebellar granule cells, also provided considerable neuroprotection against glutamate toxicity. Because preincubation of cerebellar granule cells with NMDA fails to alter NMDA receptor-mediated phosphoinositide hydrolysis or the specific binding of [3H]MK-801 to NMDA receptors, it appears that the neuroprotective effects of NMDA are not due to NMDA receptor desensitization.

不同浓度的金属硫蛋白对离体豚鼠乳头肌缺氧、复氧电生理特性的影响

为探讨金属硫蛋白（MT）对豚鼠乳头肌缺血再灌注损伤所致心律失常的影响，利用标准玻璃微电极技术，采用缺氧及复氧豚鼠乳头肌模型，模拟体内缺血再灌注损伤，观察不同浓度MT对豚鼠乳头肌电生理特性的影响。结果显示低浓度的MT（0．002mmol／L）对正常及缺氧和复氧豚鼠乳头肌的动作电位（AP）有关参数及自律性均无影响；中等浓度的MT（0．02mmol／L）仅使正常乳头肌的AP复极达50％时程（APD50）缩短24％（P＜0．05），但使缺氧乳头肌的AP复极达20％时程（APD20）、APD50和AP复极达90％时程（APD90）分别缩短68％、56％和43％（P均＜0．01），并使静息电位（RP）、AP幅值（APA）和0相最大上升速率（Vmax）分别增加30％、30％和45％（P均＜0．01）；高浓度的MT（0．1mmol／L）使正常豚鼠乳头肌的APD20、APD50和APD90分别缩短57％、54％和50％（P均＜0．01），并且RP、APA及Vmax分别下降22％（P＜0．05）、28％（P＜0．01）和29％（P＜0．05），而使缺氧豚鼠乳头肌的APD20、APD50和APD90分别延长92％、78％和50％（P均＜0．01），对RP、APA及Vmax无明显影响。在复氧期间，0．02mmol／L的MT可使自律性的发生率从77．8％降至55．6％（P＜0．05）；而0．1mmol／L的MT则使自律性的发生率从77.8％降至22．2％（P

肢体不同延长速度对局部血流量的影响

本文报告20只兔胫骨以不同速度延长时用末梢微循环测定系统动态连续监测局部血流量变化的结果,发现一次延长>1 mm时,局部肌肉血流量开始急骤下降,恢复延长前血流量所需的时间>8 h。作者认为肢体的血管、肌肉等组织对1 mm/次/d延长速度有相当大的生物适应性。延长速度>1 mm/次/d易造成局部血流量大幅度减少。延长肢肌肉萎缩、肌力减弱可能与血流量减少有关。

Ocular injuries from accidental laser exposure

This report presents 29 cases of ocular injury (31 eyes) caused by accidental laser exposure. Twenty-eight eyes were injured during laser adjustment and alignment. Nineteen eyes were damaged by Q-switched lasers at a wavelength of 1064 nm. Macula damage occurred in 25 eyes. During the early phase after injury, there were different degrees of retinal coagulation, edema or hemorrhage in exposed spots and there occurred immediate reduction of visual acuity. Effusion of blood and exudate was absorbed in most injured eyes under treatment lasting several weeks; meanwhile, gray-white scars appeared. Macular holes appeared in seven cases a week after injury, thus extending the course of the injury. Nine cases (10 eyes) were followed-up for 4-10 y, during which time the condition of eight cases (nine eyes) remained stable. The causes of the laser accidents and the relationship between the damage effects and exposure doses were analyzed.
