钠钙交换器抑制药在心律失常治疗中的应用

心肌钠钙交换在调节心肌细胞内外钠、钙平衡中发挥重要作用。钠钙交换分为前向型和逆向型2种。在心力衰竭、心肌缺血、心肌再灌注等病理情况下,通过钠钙交换器的离子交换可产生致心律失常性的一过性内向电子流,引起延迟后除极和非折返激动型的室性心动过速。钠钙交换器抑制药在预防这些病理情况下的心律失常具有潜在的作用。

聚环氧氯丙烷／液晶复合富氧膜的研究

研究了聚环氧氯丙烷(PECHCH)/N(4-乙氧基苄叉)4-丁基苯胺(EBBA)复合膜对氧气和氮气的透过性和选择性。用示差扫描量热计(DSC)、解偏振光强仪(DLI和偏光显微镜考察了复合膜的形态结构。结果表明,当PECH/EBBA复合膜处于液晶的向列相转变温度时,有较高的气体透过性和选择性。发现只有复合膜中EBBA含量在30wt％以上,PECH和EBBA呈非均相混合时,才有较明显的富氧效果。当EBBA含量达50wt%时,氧氮分离系数α=3.78。     

Undergraduate psychiatry teaching in Ethiopia

Many epidemiological studies have shown the magnitude and seriousness of mental disorders in developing countries. However, mental health care remains unsatisfactory owing to lack of skilled manpower and many other social and medical priorities. General practitioners and other health personnel can significantly help in extending mental health care provided they receive adequate training during their medical curriculum. With this aim, the Department of Psychiatry at Addis Ababa University runs a 6-week full-time course for undergraduate medical students. Its chief objectives, teaching methods, achievements and shortcomings are discussed in the paper.     

Correlation between 5-HT7 receptor affinity and protection against sound-induced seizures in DBA/2J mice

Audiogenic seizures can be induced in DBA/2J mice following intense auditory stimulation. A number of neurotransmitters, including 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), are believed to be involved in mediating this effect since it has been shown previously that depletion of 5-HT or blockade of 5-HT receptors protects DBA/2J mice from these audiogenic seizures. The present study was undertaken to determine whether antagonism of the newly identified 5-HT₇ receptor may protect DBA/2J mice from audiogenic seizures by attempting to correlate in vivo potency of compounds with their affinity at the 5-HT₇ receptor. All compounds used in the correlation were shown to be antagonists at the 5-HT₇ receptor and a statistically significant correlation was observed between 5-HT₇ affinity and doses for half-maximal response (ED₅₀) for protection of DBA/2J mice from sound-induced seizures (r = 0.80; P < 0.05). No significant correlation was observed between in vivo activity and affinity at either 5-HT_1A, 5-HT_2A or 5-HT_2C receptors. It is also unlikely that interactions between the 5-ht₅ receptor will protect DBA/2J mice from audiogenic seizures since metergoline and mesulergine which are both active in this in vivo model have no affinity for the 5-ht₅ receptor. There are similarities between the pharmacology of the 5-HT₇ receptor and that of the 5-HT_1A receptor, however the correlation between the in vivo potency in DBA/2J mice and 5-HT_1A affinity was not significant. Furthermore, the 5-HT_1A receptor antagonist WAY 100135 did not protect DBA/2J mice from audiogenic seizures at doses that antagonise 5-HT_1A receptor-mediated effects in mice. These data suggest that antagonism of 5-HT₇ receptors may protect against audiogenic seizures in DBA/2J mice although a definitive conclusion must await studies with selective 5-HT₇ antagonists.

Cytomorphometric analysis of vaginal cells during normal cycle, under oral contraceptive therapy or in-vitro fertilization stimulation protocol

A cytomorphometric analysis of superficial vaginal cells inwomen in three groups of different types of hormonal concentrationwas made. There were 15 women in each group. Group I was studiedduring a natural cycle, group II under oral contraceptive therapyand group III during an in-vitro fertilization (IVF) stimulationprotocol. Morphometric parameters were measured on an imageanalyser. The area, perimeter and several form factors weremeasured separately for nuclei and cytoplasm. The nucleus:cytoplasmicratio was also determined. The cytoplasmic area was significantlyreduced in group II and was associated with a statisticallysignificant reduction of the nuclear area. The nucleus:cytoplasmicratio appeared significantly increased in group II and reducedin group III. Low oestradiol impregnation obtained with an oralminidosed contraceptive interfered with vaginal cell maturation.High oestradiol concentrations obtained during IVF protocolsinduced marked nuclear pycnosis but did not induce supra-physiologicalcell enlargement. Maximal cell size is genetically regulatedaccording to Driesch's law of volume invariance and hormonalover-stimulation has no effect on cell size. The nucleus:cytoplasmicratio appears to be a powerful parameter reflecting the oppositeeffects of hormones on cell compartments.     

Adult rat seminiferous tubules secrete a fraction greater than 30 kDa to regulate spermatogenesis

The present study was designed to examine the effects of a >30kDa fraction of medium conditioned for 2 days by adult rat seminiferoustubules on inhibin secretion by cultured tubules, and on spermatogenesisand fertility of male rats. Inhibin secretion was assayed byadding the >30 kDa fraction to 5 cm segments of adult ratseminiferous tubules and measuring inhibin by radioimmunoassayat 2 day intervals. Fertility was assayed by injecting malerats daily for up to 45 days with the >30 kDa fraction andthen mating them with a proestrus female, or by injecting for15 days and mating them with two female rats. The assay usedto evaluate the in-vivo effect of the >30 kDa fraction onthe testis involved an assessment of frequencies of seminiferoustubule stages scored by transillumination on intact tubules.The addition of the >30 kDa fraction to the adult rat seminiferoustubules cultured for 2 days resulted in an inhibition of inhibinsecretion into the medium. This effect was reversed when thefraction was removed and changed with fresh medium and culturedfor a further 4 days. The >30 kDa fraction administered i.p.to adult male rats resulted in a low fertilization rate comparedto control rats (67%) (P < 0.05). The assessment of frequenciesof seminiferous tubule stages scored by transillumination showedan increased frequency of stage VI and decreased frequency ofstages VII and VIII after treatment. The results of the presentstudy provide additional evidence that local regulation of Sertolicell function is mediated by a >30 kDa component or componentssecreted by adult seminiferous tubules which could arrest spermatogenesis.
