病原微生物荚膜多糖的生物学功能

荚膜多糖(capsular polysaccharide,CPS)是一种广泛存在于细菌、支原体、部分真菌等菌体表面的碳水化合物.同时,荚膜多糖有助于菌体抵抗干燥和低温等不利环境,并通过在菌体表面形成物理屏障阻碍宿主补体的杀伤与吞噬作用.在长期多种应激-压力环境下,病原菌已进化出多种免疫逃避机制并促进宿主感染;在非病原微...     

腺苷一磷酸激活蛋白激酶与采食量调节

<正>腺苷一磷酸激活蛋白激酶(AMPK)的概念首次出现在1988年。近几年的研究表明,AMPK在调节细胞能量代谢上起着重要作用,被称作细胞内的“燃料开关”,在动物抵御和适应环境应激的过程中也起着重要作用。最新研究显示,AMPK通过一些激素和养分等途径参与采食量的调节。本文总结了AMPK在采食量调节中的作用和可能机制,揭示研究其与动物营养代谢的重要性关系。

Change of synapsins in hippocampal formation during spacial learning and memory in rats

AIM and METHODS: The immunohistochemical method was used to study the on synapsin express in hippocampal formation during spatial learning and memory in rats.RESULTS: (1) In control group there are diffuse brown granules without any obvious granular product in hippocampal formation and in model group there are synapsin products in the hippocampal formation ,especially in the subregion CA3 , CA4 and the dentate gyrus after water maze trained for one week. After two weeks water maze trained the hippocampal formation appear the same distribution of the product granules with darker staining. (2) The light dendity of synapsin products between the model and the control groups showed significant differences, that in the model group was highter than that in the control group (P＜0.05). The light dendity of synapsin products increased with the training time from the first week to the second week in the model group. And there is no increase with the training time from the second week to the third week . The light dendity is higher in the CA3, CA4 subregion and the dentate gyrus than the CA1 and CA2 subregion (P＜0.05).CONCLUSIONS: (1) As mentioned above, it is believed that the new synapes are formed in the hippocampal formation of the rat by spacial learning and memory training. (2) The CA3, CA4 subregion and the dentate gyrus are correlated with the spacial learning and memory.     

Inducible nitric oxide synthase and arterial pressure regulation

AIM and METHODS:To clarify the role of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in the regulation of blood pressure,in the present study, we examined the effect of aminoguanidine (AG), a selective inhibitor of iNOS on the hemodinamical response of Dahl salt-sensitive (DS) and Dahl salt-resistant (DR) rats to low (0.3%) or high (8%) sodium chloride (NaCl) infusion by chronical in vivo hemodynamic experiment, and the effect of NaCl or NaCl plus AG infusion on urinary nitrate (NO₃)/nitrite (NO₂), the end product of nitric oxide (NO), excretion by Greiss Reaction. Furthermore, NOS activity assay was also carried out to probe the effect of NaCl and AG on calcium-dependent or independent NOS activity in renal tissue. RESULTS:1. High or low NaCl-infused DR rats and low NaCl-infused DS rats have no hemodinamical response to AG, however, the hypertensive effect of high NaCl (8%) infusion on DS rats were greatly amplified by co-infusion of AG. 2. Administration of high NaCl significantly elevated the iNOS activity of renal tissue, and greatly increased urinary NO₃/NO₂ excretion. CONCLUSION:Inducible NOS is an important modulator of arterial pressure, especially in case of higher blood pressure.     

Effect of 2, 3-butanedione monoxime (BDM) on myocardial protection in cold cardioplegia

AIM: The effects of BDM on isolated rat heart in cold cardioplegia were studied. METHODS: Rat heart were subjected to cold cardioplegia at 4℃ for 8, 18 and 24 h.Then each heart was perfused (90 cm H₂O) in Langendorff model at 37℃ for 40 min. In the high K⁺ group(n=24) the hearts were preserved in St.Thomas cardioplegic solution, in BDM group(n=24) hearts were preserved in K-H solution with BDM 30 mmoL/L. RESULTS: After 18 h, heart rate and the coronary flow in BDM group were significantly higher than in high K⁺ group(P＜0.05). Activity of Na⁺-K⁺-ATPase in cell membrane and in mitochondrial membrane in the BDM group was significantly higher than high K⁺ group(P＜0.01). After 24 h, all hearts in high K⁺ group were dead, but were alive in BDM group. CONCLUSION: Under given experiment conditions, BDM did enhance the tolerance to cold ischemia significantly. The results showed that BDM may become a useful agent for prolong the storage period of heart in cold cardioglegia.
