CYP2D6基因多态性与精神分裂症患者迟发性运动障碍的关联研究

目的观察广州地区汉族人群中有或无迟发件运动障碍（TD）精神分裂症患者中CYP2D6 C188T基因多态性的分布，并探讨该多态与TD发生的关系。方法以182例精神分裂症患者（91例伴TD，91例不伴TD）为对象进行病例对照研究。用聚合酶链反也-限制性片段长度多态性方法（PCR—RFLP）分析CYP2D6基因C188T多态性。结果TD组和非TD组TT基因型频率分别为0．45和0．30，两组之间总体分布差异无显著性（x^2=4．078，P〉0．05），而TD组188T等位摹囚频率为0．63，显著高于非TD组（x^2=4．28，P〈0．05）。结论CYP2D6 C188T基因多态性可能与中国汉族精神分裂症患者的TD相关联。

Contact allergy to the monomers in p-tert-butylphenol-formaldehyde resin

In many adhesive formulations p-tert-butylphenol-formaldehyde resin (PTBP-F-R) is used as a binder. Contact allergy to this resin is not rare. In patients hypersensitive to PTBP-F-R, and butylphenol derivatives therein, it is for diagnostic and preventive reasons necessary to know the nature of the primary sensitizing substances, as well as the cross-reaction patterns for these. The aim of this study was to investigate contact allergy to monomers in PTBP-F-R and potential cross-reacting substances. 12 patients hypersensitive to PTBP-F-R were patch tested with 2 monomers, the raw materials formaldehyde and p-tert-butylphenol, and 3 closely related substances. High pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used to investigate the purity of the test substances. It was shown that the monomers 2-methylol p-tert-butylphenol and 2,6-dimethylol p-tert-butylphenol could elicit allergic reactions in humans hypersensitive to PTBP-F-R. No simultaneous reactions or cross-reactions were shown to formaldehyde, p-tert-butylphenol, p-tert-butylcatechol, 2(3)-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyanisole (BHA) or 3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxytoluene (BHT). It was also shown that low amounts of contaminants in the test substances, if not taken into account, could influence the conclusions drawn from the test results obtained.     

Activation of NF- B and its regulation on IL-6 expression during LPSinduced liver injury

Endotoxin is a component of Gram-negative(G-) bacteria outer membrane, which is also calledlipopolysaccharide (LPS). Generally, LPS is in-ducement of inflammation. Kupffer cells are theprincipal defense cells which protect host from en-dogenous and exogenous infections. As importanteffector cells, they also play pivotal roles in thepathogenesis of hepatic injury in sepsis in local andsystemic inflammatory responses. IL-6 is apleiotropic cytokine which is secreted by lymphand nonlymph cells…     

牛磺酸与大鼠视网膜代谢型谷氨酸受体基因表达

目的探讨膳食添加牛磺酸大鼠在光照和暗环境中视网膜代谢型谷氨酸受体6亚型(mGluR6)的mRNA表达的相互关系。方法36只断乳大鼠随机分为3组：对照组、牛磺酸低剂量组及牛磺酸高剂量组(分别在饲料中添加0．3％和0．6％的牛磺酸)．营养干预4周后，再随机分为光照组和暗环境组，继续喂养3d。用RT—PCR技术检测光照和暗环境下大鼠视网膜mGluR6的mRNA表达。结果暗环境下mGluR6的mRNA表达显著高于光照环境。在光照及暗环境中牛磺酸高、低剂量组mGluR6的mRNA表达均较对照组增加，以光照状态下的增加更为明显；光照时。高剂量组的mRNA表达明显高于低剂量组；暗环境下，高、低剂量组之间差异无统计学意义。结论在光照及暗环境中，牛磺酸可明显增加大鼠mGluR6的mRNA表达，有助于其参与调节视网膜的视杆信号传递。     

G6PD gene mutations in India producing drug-induced haemolytic anaemia

We report 17 cases of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency with drug-induced haemolytic anaemia. In most cases the drug involved was an antimalarial. However, we also found two cases in which other drugs could have been responsible for the haemolysis. The degree of severity of haemolysis differed in the individuals and most required multiple transfusions.     

Impaired dopamine function and muscular rigidity induced by 6-aminonicotinamide in rats

Summary In corpus striatum, 6-aminonicotinamide (6-AN), 10 mg/kg i.p., lowered the concentration of dopamine and markedly reduced the disappearance of dopamine after synthesis inhibition with -methyl-p-tyrosine. In the dopamine-rich part of the limbic system, the formation of DOPA after decarboxylase inhibition with 3-hydroxybenzylhydrazine was decreased.In diencephalon, 6-AN altered neither the steadystate level nor the utilization of noradrenaline.The data suggest that the muscular rigidity induced by 6-AN may be associated with disruption of dopaminergic transmission.     

Serological response of multiple sclerosis patients and controls to 6/94-parainfluenza virus

Summary The serological responses of 195 multiple sclerosis (MS) patients and 251 controls were tested against 6/94-parainfluenza virus, which was previously isolated from brain tissue of two patients with MS. The hemagglutination-inhibition titers of 1:128 were found more frequently in MS patients (21.5%) than in controls (14.0%). However, the geometric mean titers did not differ between these two groups. The present study concludes that a causal relationship of 6/94-virus to MS, based on a specific immune response, is improbable, although it does not exclude the possibility of a pathogenetic significance of the agent in the cases from which the autopsy material was derived.Supported by Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (Schwerpunkt Ätiologie und Pathogenese der Multiplen Sklerose und verwandter Erkrankungen)     

Clonidine-induced locomotor hyperactivity in rats

Summary The -adrenergic agonist, clonidine, causes sedation in normal rats. The present study demonstrates that clonidine evokes strong locomotor stimulation in rats pretreated with 6-hydroxydopamine plus reserpine. Similar, but less intensive hyperactivity is observed in rats given clonidine after combined pretreatment with 6-hydroxydopamine plus p-chlorophenylalanine plus -methyl-p-tyrosine, or with reserpine plus low doses of yohimbine. The -adrenolytic drugs, phenoxybenzamine, phentolamine and aceperone, as well as high doses of yohimbine, antagonise the clonidine-induced locomotor stimulation; in contrast, the dopamine receptor blocking agents, pimozide and spiroperidol, exert no antagonistic effect. The results indicate that in the brain of normal animals, clonidine predominantly activates presynaptic -adrenoceptors on noradrenergic neurones and thereby induces sedation. After destruction of the noradrenergic fibres by 6-hydroxydopamine plus reserpine, activation of postsynaptic -adrenoceptors prevails so that hyperactivity results.This study was supported by Polish Academy of Sciences (10.4). Preliminary accounts were presented at the Pharmacology Meeting, Hannover, September 14–17, 1976 and at the 1 st Joint Symposium of Hungarian and Polish Pharmacological Societies, Zakopane, October, 13–15, 1976
