Heterologous Expression of Rat Testis GABAA Receptor β3t Splicing Variant in CHO Cells

Objective To characterize a possible retention function of unique sequence in the 5'end of rat testis GABAA receptor β3t splicing variantMethods Rat testis GABAA receptor β3t splicing variant cDNA was cloned and two eukaryotic expression recombinant plasmids of pEGFP-N1 and pEGFP-C1 were constructed respectively by fusing green fluorescent protein to the N or C-terminus of β3t isoform. The recombinant plasmids were transfected into CHO cells by calcium phosphate co-precipitation method. Fluorescence microscope and laser confocal microscope were used to analyze localization of β3t in the transfected cells. ConA-Texas-Red was used to label cell ER and the localization of rat testis β3t splicing variant in CHO cells was determined.Results When rat testis β3t splicing variant was expressed in CHO cells, two expression patterns were delineated, the distributions of uniform and mainly discrete intracellular compartments respectively. The chimera product failed to be translocated into the cell surface when expressed in CHO cells; whereas the β3 subunit of rat brain was incorporated into the plasma membrane.Conclusion The inability of β3t to target into the ER may be a consequence of the unique 25 specific amino acid segments in the N terminus.     

Neurosteroid modulation of allopregnanolone and GABA effect on the GABA-A receptor

The neurosteroid allopregnanolone (ALLO) or 3α-OH-5α-pregnane-20-one interacts with the GABA type A receptor chloride ion channel complex and enhances the effect of GABA. Animal and human studies suggest that ALLO plays an important role in several disorders including premenstrual syndrome, anxiety, and memory impairment. In contrast to ALLO, steroids with a hydroxy group in the 3β position usually exert a reducing effect and have recently attracted interest due to their suggested role in counteracting the negative action of ALLO. In this study, five different 3β-steroids were tested for their ability to modulate GABA-mediated chloride ion uptake in the absence and presence of ALLO in rat brain microsacs preparations. In addition, the effects of the 3β-steroids and their interaction with ALLO were investigated by patch-clamp recordings of spontaneous inhibitory postsynaptic currents (sIPSCs) in rat hypothalamic neurons from the medial preoptic nucleus (MPN). All tested 3β-steroids reduced the ALLO-enhanced GABA response in cerebral cortex, in hippocampus and in MPN. In cerebellum, only one had this effect. However, in the absence of ALLO, two of the 3β-steroids potentiated GABA-evoked chloride ion uptake and prolonged the sIPSCs decay time, whereas the others had little or no effect. Therefore, it is possible that at least some 3β-steroids can act as positive GABA_A receptor modulators as well as negative modulators depending on whether or not ALLO is present. Finally, these results suggest that the 3β-steroids could be of interest as pharmacological agents that could counteract the negative effects of ALLO.     

六味地黄冲剂对肾阴虚病人血浆中锌铜含量的影响

肾阴虚病人血浆中锌、铜含量均较正常人血浆中锌,铜含量明显增高(P<0.01)。男女性别间本组未见差异。服用治疗肾阴虚药物六味地黄3种剂型后均使锌,铜含量明显降低(P<0.01),六味地黄冲剂与汤剂效果一致。     

ICR 小白鼠脏器中铜,锌锰含量

对40只正常成年远交系 ICR 小白鼠的主要脏器,用 WFX—Ⅱ型双光束原子吸收分光光度计测定了各脏器中铜、锌、锰含量.结果表明,主要脏器中铜、锌、锰含量大小顺序不一,铜含量最多的脏器是心,锌、锰含量最多的脏器是肝,在雌雄之间均无显著性差异.     

复发性口腔溃疡患者血Cu,Fe,Zn含量分析

目的：探讨微量元素在复发性口腔溃疡发病中的作用。方法：检测了44例复发性口腔溃疡患者血清微量元素Cu,Fe,Zn含量，并与正常健康人对照，统计结果用t检验。结果：复发性口腔溃疡患者血清Zn含量明显低于对照组，而Fe含量高于对照组。结论：提示缺Zn是诱发复发性口腔溃疡的因素之一。     

高等中医药院校贫困生心理健康、防御方式和社会支持的相关分析

目的探讨不同心理健康状况的贫困大学生的防御方式和社会支持特点及其关系。方法采用防御方式问卷(DSQ)、社会支持评定量表、症状自评量表(SCL-90)对302名中医院校贫困大学生进行测评。结果贫困生的心理健康水平低于国内青年常模,但在人口学统计变量上的差异不显著;不同心理健康水平的学生的防御方式和社会支持均具有显著性差异,心理健康状况差的学生较心理健康好的学生更多地使用不成熟的防御策略,且在客观支持、主观支持、对支持的利用度和总分上均显著地低于心理健康状况好的学生;不成熟的防御策略对心理健康具有显著影响。结论贫困生的心理健康与防御方式和社会支持之间具有显著的关联性,应从转导不成熟的防御策略和营造良好社会支持系统两方面对贫困生的心理健康进行维护。     

实验性糖尿病大鼠肾脏损害和脂质过氧化物水平的动态研究

动态观察实验性糖尿病大鼠于发病后２、４、６、１２、和１６周肾脏损害指标和肾脏脂质过氧化物（ＬＰＯ）水平的变化。结果表明，发病后各观察时间．或糖尿病大鼠２４ｈ尿Ａｌｂ、β２──ＭＧ排泄量和尿ＮＡＧ活性均明显增高，而２４ｈ尿ＴＨＰ排泄量显著降低，肾脏ＬＰＯ水平明显升高。其中尿ＮＡＧ活性、ＴＨＰ排泄量和肾脏ＬＰＯ水平均随病程延长而更趋明显。这些结果提示，在糖尿病早期除有肾小球功能损害外，肾小管也明显受损，过氧化损伤在糖尿病肾病发病中可能是重要因素之一。尿Ａｌｂ、β２──ＭＧ、ＴＨＰ含量和ＮＡＧ活性可作为糖尿病肾病早期肾损害的敏感指标。
