The effect of induced peripheral anosmia on gonadal development and maturation was investigated in sexually immature male rabbits. Furthermore, the effect of agents promoting gonadal maturation (LHRH, hMG or methyl testosterone) on testicular development was examined in anosmic rabbits. Peripheral anosmia was induced by spraying the olfactory mucosa with 5% ZnSO4 solution; its effects were evaluated after a 45-day period, corresponding to the duration of spermatogenesis. Evaluation was based on measurement of body-weight, testicular size, testicular biopsy score count (TBSC) and a standard LHRH test (0 and 30 min) involving measurement of the blood levels of FSH, LH and testosterone before and at the end of the test. Markedly lower final and incremental values were noted in anosmic, compared to intact, animals for body-weight (P less than 0.001), TBSC (P less than 0.001), FSH (P less than 0.01) and LH (P less than 0.05). On the other hand, treatment of the anosmic rabbits with 0.9% saline, resulted in lower FSH, TBSC and testicular size increments than in rabbits treated with LHRH, hMG or testosterone, while testosterone levels and body-weight increments were similar in all groups. These findings indicate that induced peripheral anosmia is probably responsible for the inadequate gonadal maturation in prepubertal anosmic male rabbits. This relationship was confirmed by the observed stimulatory effect of administration of agents activating pituitary gonadotrophin secretion or gonadal function in anosmic animals. 相似文献

Atrial Septal Pacing to Synchronize Atrial Depolarization in Patients with Delayed Interatrial Conduction 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10

The current method of pacing the right atrium from the appendage or free wall is often the source of delayed intraatrial conduction and discoordinate left and right atrial mechanical function. Simultaneous activation of both atria with pacing techniques involving multisite and multilead systems is associated with suppression of supraventricular tachyarrhythmias and improved hemodynamics. In the present study we tested the hypothesis that pacing from a single site of the atrial septum can synchronize atrial depolarization. Five males and two females (mean age 58 ± 6 years) with drug refractory paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) were studied who were candidates for AV junctional ablation. All patients had broad P waves (118 ± 10 ms) on the surface ECG. Multipolar catheters were inserted and the electrograms from the high right atrium (HRA) and proximal, middle, and distal coronary sinus (CS) were recorded. The atrial septum was paced from multiple sites. The site of atrial septum where the timing between HRA and distal CS (d-CS) was ≤ 10 ms was considered the most suitable for simultaneous atrial activation. An active fixation atrial lead was positioned at this site and a standard lead was placed in the ventricle. The interatrial conduction time during sinus rhythm and AAT pacing and the conduction time from the pacing site to the HRA and d-CS during septal pacing were measured. Atrial septal pacing was successful in all patients at sites superior to the CS os near the fossa ovalis. During septal pacing the P waves were inverted in the inferior leads with shortened duration from 118 ± 10 ms to 93 ± 7 ms (P < 0.001), and the conduction time from the pacing site to the HRA and d-CS was 54.3 ± 6.8 ms and 52.8 ± 2.5 ms, respectively. The interatrial conduction time during AAT pacing was shortened in comparison to sinus rhythm (115 ± 18.9 ms vs 97.8 ± 10.3 ms, P < 0.05). In conclusion, simultaneous activation of both atria in patients with prolonged interatrial conduction time can be accomplished by pacing a single site in the atrial septum using a standard active fixation lead placed under electrophysiological study guidance. Such a pacing system allows proper left AV timing and may prove efficacious in preventing various supraventricular tachyarrhythmias. 相似文献
