Increase in levels of total free fatty acids in rat brain regions following 3-nitropropionic acid administration

Acute exposure to a neurotoxin, 3-nitropropionic acid (3-NPA), in rats results in an increase in total free fatty acid (FFA) concentration in selective brain regions. We investigated the effect of 3-NPA administration on the cerebral concentrations of FFA used as a marker of oxidative stress. Rats (n=3/group) were dosed subcutaneously (s.c.) either with a vehicle (phosphate buffer) or 3-NPA in phosphate buffer at 30 mg/kg body weight. Animals were sacrificed after 1, 2, 3, and 6 h of injection. Brains were then dissected into frontal cortex (FC), caudate nucleus (CN), and hippocampus (HIP). The concentration of total FFA increased from 130 to 300% within 1–2 h after 3-NPA injection in all brain regions when compared with the baseline level obtained from the control rats and taken as 100%. In CN, FFA returned to the baseline level within 3 h of treatment. However, in FC and HIP the concentration of FFA remained significantly elevated above the baseline until 6 h. The released FFA provide a substrate for free radicals formation. The results of this study suggest a role of oxidative stress in the mechanism of 3-NPA toxicity.

冬虫夏草对大鼠小剂量环孢素A慢性肾毒性保护作用的实验研究

为进一步探讨冬虫夏草对环孢素Ａ慢性肾毒性的保护作用和机制，将ＳＤ大鼠分为两组：ＣｓＡ大鼠分为两组：ＣｓＡ组和ＣｓＡ＋冬虫夏草组，实验３个组。结果显示：在实验不同时期冬虫夏草组大鼠血Ｃｒ，ＢＵＮ及血清Ｎａ＾＋，Ｋ＾＋均较对照组为低，实验第３月冬虫夏草组鼠血清血管紧张素Ⅱ（ＡＴ－Ⅱ）水平低于对照组；实验不同阶段尿ＥＧＦ排出量亦较对照组为低；肾组织病理形态改变较对照组明显为轻。本实验证明冬虫夏草对ＣｓＡ     

Vitamin a cost-effectiveness model

To assist in the selection of a preferable vitamin A deficiency control policy, a model has been developed to organize information on program costs and program-related effects. The model was designed to compare three approaches: (1) diet modification; (2) fortification of processed foods; and (3) periodic large doses. Health effects projected are rates of specific eye pathologies associated with vitamin A deficiency (xerophthalmia), and mortalities within age cohorts. Effectiveness is calculated as a function of coverage, biological efficacy, and incidence of vitamin A deficiency. The model was applied to data from the Province of West Java in Indonesia. The results of this application suggest that funding level considerations are an important factor in selecting a preferred control strategy. In addition to determining the relative resource requirements of alternative interventions aimed at reducing the morbidity and mortality effects of vitamin A deficiencies, the model, using marginal cost and marginal effectiveness information, can serve as a guide to the most efficient allocation of resources for each type of intervention.     

竹红菌甲素敏化S-180肿瘤细胞膜的光氧化反应及机理探讨

本文研究了竹红菌甲素(简称甲素)对S-180肿瘤细胞膜的作用。结果表明,甲素结合光照可引起S-180肿瘤细胞膜蛋白质交联、脂质过氧化产物MDA含量增加。但在SDS-PAGE分析中观察到的高分子蛋白质交联带并非由MDA所引起。甲素同样可引起小牛胸腺组蛋白光氧化、发生分子交联,并可敏化色氨酸、酪氨酸和组氨酸的无氧化。     

不同鼠龄小鼠骨折愈合过程中钙沉积变化

本实验采用~(45)Ca液闪技术,测定骨折后不同天数的幼年小鼠和成年小鼠在注射~(45)Ca-氯化钙后24 h,各骨段~(45)Ca沉积量,发现:1.幼年小鼠各骨段中钙的沉积量均高于成年小鼠;2.右股骨中段骨折后,骨折股骨中段的钙沉积量急剧升高;健侧股骨上、中、下三段,骨折股骨上段及左右胫骨上段的钙沉积量则逐渐下降而骨折股骨下段的骨转换增加。说明骨折部位以外的各骨段均最大限度地调动了一切可以调动的钙,以满足骨折修复的需要。     

Cardiovascular effects of Leu-enkephalin in the nucleus tractus solitarius of the rat

Microinjections of Leu-enkephalin into the dorsal vagal complex induced hypotension and bradycardia. Both naloxone, given at a dose conferring selectivity for μ receptors, and the S antagonist ICI 154,129 prevented the cardiovascular effects of Leu-enkephalin. Naloxone was also found to decrease the gain of the baroreflex. These results suggest that Leu-enkephalin is involved in cardiovascular regulation through activation of δ-, and possibly μ-, opioid receptors in the dorsal vagal complex.
