Topography of median eminence somatostatinergic innervation

Somatostatin (SRIF) in the central nervous system is mostly concentrated in the median eminence (ME). Immunocytochemical methods have revealed high densities of SRIF-positive perikarya between the preoptic area and the periventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus (NPE). The aim of the present study was to define more precisely the specific pathways of SRIF neurons from NPE to the ME. SRIF levels were measured by radioimmunoassay, following various hypothalamic transections. Frontal periventricular sections decreased SRIF-ME content by 70% (P less than 0.01), when located at the anterior end of the ME but no diminution was observed when the cuts were located anteriorly or posteriorly. Parasaggital transections decreased SRIF-ME levels by 50% (P less than 0.05) when located at the outer border of the ventromedial and premammillary nucleus, but the decrease was not significant when cuts were located anteriorly. Taken together, our data indicate that most SRIF-containing neurons, originating in the NPE, do not reach the ME directly along the border of the 3rd ventricle; instead they form a loop across the medial forebrain bundle before re-entering the mediobasal hypothalamus at the ME level.     

甲地孕酮在家兔和大鼠的药物动力学

用放射免疫法(RIA)测定甲地孕酮(MA)血清浓度并计算了在家兔和大鼠静注或口服的药物动力学参数。MA口服的生物利用度,家兔为64％,大鼠为56％。MA肝微粒体酶代谢实验提示有极性较MA为大的代谢产物形成,~3H-MA十二指肠给药后30min内门静脉血中放射性远高于外周血,也有极性代谢产物形成。

左旋布比卡因复合舒芬太尼或芬太尼在分娩硬膜外自控镇痛的应用

目的探讨左旋布比卡因复合舒芬太尼硬膜外自控镇痛（PCEA）用于分娩镇痛的临床效果及安全性。方法随机选择120例美国标准协会（ASA）I-Ⅱ级初产妇，随机分为舒芬太尼组（A组）、芬太尼组（B组）、无镇痛组（C组），每组40例。A组和B组采用PCEA，C组不给予镇痛药物。观察各组不同时段视觉模拟评分（VAS）和不良反应的发生，同时记录3组产程时间、分娩方式、缩宫使用情况、产后出血量、新生儿Apgar评分。结果A、B2组和C组在PCEA20、60min及宫口开全时VAS差异有统计学意义（P〈0.05）；PCEA5min，A、B2组VAS差异有统计学意义（P〈0.05），2组Bromage评分、不良反应差异无统计学意义（P〉0.05）。3组产程时间、分娩方式、产后出血量、新生儿Apgar评分比较差异均无统计学意义（P〉0.05）。结论左旋布比卡因复合舒芬太尼或芬太尼用于分娩镇痛安全有效，对母婴无明显不良影响。     

MicroRNAs及其在泌尿系肿瘤的研究进展

microRNAs（miRNAs）是一类分布十分广泛的内源性非编码RNA,在动物、植物、病毒中广泛存在。miRNAs与肿瘤的发生发展预后有关,并在肿瘤的增殖、分化及调亡等方面有重要的作用。结合最近相关文献,本文就miRNAs与泌尿系肿瘤方面的进展作简要概述。     

Changes of Intestinal Caicitonin Gene-related Peptide in Acute Intestinal Radiation Sickness in Rats

The characteristic distribution of calcitonin gone-related peptide(CGRP)inthe small intestine of rats and its changes in acute intestinal radiation sickness(AIRS)were studied with immunocytochemistry(whole mount stretch preparations of the smallintestine and cryostat sections)and radio-immunoassay.It was found that in all the lay-ers of the intestinal walls,there were large amounts of CGRP immunoreactive(CGRP-I)nerve fibers which existed in especiaUy high density in the myenteric,submucosal andmucosal plexuses.There was also a rather high density of the nerves around the smallvessels of the small intestine and the intestinal crypts.Some CGRP-I neurons were seenin the myenteric and submucosal plexuses.In AIRS,the intestinal CGRP showed a dip-hasic change,in a lower level in the 24th h and a higher level in the 48th and 72nd h af-ter irradiation.The results indicate that CGRP may be related to the regulation of the motility,se-cretion,absorption,sensation,and regional blood flow of the gastrointestinal tract.Pro-bably,CGRP is released under the stress of AIRS and participates in the mechanism ofinjury through many ways especially through the influence on the regional blood flowand the increase of the permeability of blood vessels.     

高海拔（2261m）急性习服期大鼠脑内β—EP含量的实验研究（之三）

选用标化成年雄性Wistar大鼠、以放射免疫测定法（RIA），研究了大鼠由平原引入高海拔环境后，在24小时急性司服期，垂体及各脑区内β－内啡肪样免疫活性物质（β－EPLI）的含量变化。结果表明，大鼠引入高海拔环境后脑内β－EP含量发生明显的动态变化。高海拔实验组与平原对照组相比，垂体内β－EP含量降低非常显著（P＜0．01）。纹状体、下丘脑、丘脑、桥延、海马、皮层内β－EP含量增加非常显著（P＜0．01）。中脑内β－EP含量虽然也增加，统计学处理无显著性意义（P＞0．05）。据此推测：大鼠急进高海拔低氧环境后垂体β－EP的分泌与释放受到影响。提示，脑内β－EP参与低氧的应激反应过程，可能作为神经递质和调质，通过神经──内分泌环路在应激反应中起介导作用，β－EP可能为中枢神经系统内调节应激反应的主要应激激素之一。

Identification of the C-terminal flanking peptide of preprocholecystokinin in rat brain by a novel radioimmunoassay

The C-terminal flanking peptide of preprocholecystokinin (preproCCK) has been identified in extracts of rat brain using a novel radioimmunoassay. There is a single form of immunoreactive material on gel filtration, ion exchange and reversed-phase HPLC. The C-terminal preproCCK immunoreactivity had a similar pattern of distribution to CCK8 in different regions of rat brain. This assay should help in studies of neuronal CCK biosynthesis.
