N-乙酰-5-羟色胺对视网膜缺血-再灌注损伤大鼠视网膜 Fas、FasL 蛋白表达的影响

目的　探讨N-乙酰-5-羟色胺（N-acetylserotonin，NAS）对视网膜缺血-再灌注损伤（retina ischemia-reperfusion injury，RIRI）大鼠视网膜Fas、FasL蛋白表达的影响。方法　取健康成年Sprague Dawley大鼠54只，将大鼠随机分为正常组（6只）、RIRI组（24只）与NAS组（24只）；采用高眼压法建立大鼠RIRI模型，依据造模后不同时间点将RIRI组与NAS组大鼠又分为6 h、12 h、24 h及72 h四个亚组。NAS组于造模前30 min腹腔注射NAS（5 mg·kg^-1），RIRI组腹腔注射等剂量的生理盐水。通过HE染色在光学显微镜下观察各组大鼠视网膜形态学变化，并记录各组大鼠视网膜厚度及视网膜神经节细胞数，采用免疫组织化学染色法检测NAS对RIRI大鼠视网膜Fas、FasL蛋白表达的影响。结果　HE染色显示，正常组大鼠视网膜各层细胞分界清晰，形态正常，神经细胞排列整齐；RIRI组大鼠再灌注后6 h视网膜各层出现水肿，以神经节细胞层及内核层较显著，神经节细胞数较正常组减少；随后视网膜水肿进一步加重，神经节细胞继续减少；NAS组大鼠在再灌注后6 h、12 h、24 h 视网膜水肿程度较 RIRI组轻，NAS组在再灌注后72 h视网膜厚度较 RIRI组厚，NAS组各时间点神经节细胞数均较 RIRI组多，差异均有统计学意义（均为P＜0.05）。免疫组织化学染色显示，正常组几乎未见 Fas⁺细胞。再灌注后6 h，RIRI组视网膜神经节细胞及内核层开始出现少量 Fas⁺细胞；再灌注后12 h，RIRI组视网膜 Fas⁺细胞表达逐渐增多；再灌注后24 h视网膜Fas⁺细胞数达到高峰，棕色阳性染色细胞分布在视网膜神经节细胞层、内丛状层、内核层及神经纤维层；再灌注后 72 h 视网膜 Fas⁺细胞较再灌注后 24 h 减少。NAS组在再灌注后6 h、12 h、24 h、72 h 视网膜 Fas⁺细胞数均较 RIRI组各时间点减少，再灌注后24 h，Fas⁺细胞数达较高水平，随后下降，差异均有统计学意义（均为P＜0.05）。正常组视网膜可见 FasL 全层低表达。RIRI组再灌注后 6 h，视网膜神经节细胞层和神经纤维层存在少量 FasL⁺细胞；再灌注后12 h FasL蛋白表达逐渐增多；再灌注后24 h FasL⁺细胞数达高峰，可见深棕色的细胞膜及细胞质染色细胞分布在视网膜神经节细胞层、内丛状层、内核层及神经纤维层；再灌注后72 h FasL蛋白的阳性表达逐渐减少。NAS组再灌注后6 h、12 h、24 h、72 h 视网膜FasL⁺细胞数均少于 RIRI组各时间点阳性细胞数，差异均有统计学意义（均为P＜0.05）。结论　NAS可通过抑制RIRI大鼠视网膜细胞Fas、FasL蛋白的表达，减轻缺血再灌注对大鼠视网膜细胞造成的损伤。     

Altered central micro-opioid receptor binding after psychological trauma.

BACKGROUND: Functional neuroimaging studies have detected abnormal limbic and paralimbic activation to emotional probes in posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), but few studies have examined neurochemical mechanisms that underlie functional alterations in regional cerebral blood flow. The mu-opioid neurotransmitter system, implicated in responses to stress and suppression of pain, is distributed in and is thought to regulate the function of brain regions that are implicated in affective processing. METHODS: Here we examined the micro-opioid system with positron emission tomography and the micro-opioid receptor-selective radiotracer [11C] carfentanil in 16 male patients with PTSD and two non-PTSD male control groups, with (n = 14) and without combat exposure (n = 15). Differences in micro-opioid receptor binding potential (BP2) were detected within discrete limbic and paralimbic regions. RESULTS: Relative to healthy controls, both trauma-exposed groups had lower micro-opioid receptor BP2 in extended amygdala, nucleus accumbens, and dorsal frontal and insular cortex but had higher BP2 in the orbitofrontal cortex. PTSD patients exhibited reduced BP2 in anterior cingulate cortex compared with both control groups. Micro-opioid receptor BP2 in combat-exposed subjects without PTSD was lower in the amygdala but higher in the orbitofrontal cortex compared with both PTSD patients and healthy controls. CONCLUSIONS: These findings differentiate the general response of the micro-opioid system to trauma from more specific changes associated with PTSD.     

Incidence of Type 2 diabetes in England and its association with baseline impaired fasting glucose: the Ely study 1990-2000.

AIM: To determine the incidence of Type 2 diabetes and to examine the effect of different cut-points for impaired fasting glucose (IFG) on diabetes incidence. METHODS: Population-based longitudinal study (1990-2000) with clinical, anthropometric and biochemical measurements, including an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), in 1040 non-diabetic adults aged 40-69 years at baseline. Baseline glucose status was defined as normoglycaemia < 5.6, IFG-lower 5.6-6.0 and IFG-original 6.1-6.9 mmol/l. The all-IFG group included fasting glucose values of 5.6-6.9 mmol/l. RESULTS: The 10-year cumulative incidence of diabetes was 7.3 per 1000 person-years. Diabetes incidence was 2.4 [95% confidence interval (CI) 1.2, 4.8], 6.2 (4.0, 9.8) and 17.5 (12.5, 24.5) per 1000 person-years in those with normoglycaemia, IFG-lower and IFG-original, respectively. Compared with normoglycaemia, the age/sex-adjusted risk [hazard ratio (HR) and 95% CI] for incident diabetes was greatest in the IFG-original category (HR 6.9; 3.1, 15.2) and increased to a lesser degree in the IFG-lower (HR 2.5; 1.1, 5.7) and all-IFG categories (HR 4.1; 1.9, 8.7). When adjusted for confounding factors, the magnitude and direction of associations persisted, with HR 1.9, 4.4 and 2.9, for the categories IFG-lower, IFG-original and all-IFG, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Diabetes incidence is more strongly related to IFG defined as fasting glucose between 6.1 and 6.9 mmol/l than to the lower category of 5.6-6.0 mmol/l, or entire range of 5.6-6.9 mmol/l. Future studies should examine the association of IFG with cardiovascular outcomes, but for diabetes risk our study supports the use of the IFG cut-point at 6.1 mmol/l.

Triptolide inhibits T cell activation and proliferation via multiple pathways

Triptolide is potent immunosuppressive has been reported to inhibit autoimmunity, compound isolated from Chinese herbal medicine. Triptolide allograft attributed to the suppression of T cells via NF - kB rejection and GVHD, and its efficacy was previously pathway and apoptosis. In the present study, we detailedly analyzed Triptolide＇ s function on murine primary T cell. We found that Triptolide could inhibit T cell activation and proliferation by dramatically down - regulating cell division and cell cycle. Triptolide inhibited T cell activation in a dose- dependent manner, and the inhibition was mediated by both NF- kB pathway and AP - 1 pathway.
