目的:探讨CBN中葛根素和人参皂甙Rg1在正常和脑缺血再灌大鼠体内的药代动力学过程。方法:脑缺血再灌组大鼠结扎双侧颈总动脉不完全脑缺血30分钟,复灌同时股静脉注射100mg·Kg-1药物。正常组注射等剂量药物。HPLC法测定给药后不同时间点血浆样品中葛根素和人参皂甙Rg1的含量,并作动力学计算。结果:CBN中葛根素在正常大鼠体内为一室模型,半衰期是17.8min;在脑缺血再灌大鼠体内为二室模型,分布和消除半衰期分别是8.0min和38.4min;药时曲线下面积(AUC,mg·L-1·min),表观分布容积(Vdss·L·kg-1),平均驻留时间(MRTmin)正常组分别为:744,4.18,26.0;脑缺血再灌组分别为:3015,1.39,40.0。人参皂甙Rg1在正常大鼠和脑缺血再灌大鼠体内为二室模型,分布和消除相半衰期分别为8.2,2,700.8min;18.6,4297min。药时曲线下面积(AUC,mg·L-1·min),表观分布容积(Vdss·L·kg-1),平均驻留时间(MRTmin)正常组分别为:531.5,7.05,164.7;脑缺血再灌组分别为:1678,2.39,73.3。结论:静脉注射CBN后,葛根素和人参皂甙Rg1在缺血再灌大鼠体内的消除时间较在正常大鼠体内延长。     

大鼠自发性乳腺间变型腺癌对抗肿瘤药物敏感性的研究

研究了大鼠自发性乳腺间变型腺癌对抗肿瘤药物的敏感性，应用五类抗肿瘤药物对大鼠自发性乳腺间变型腺癌进行了敏感性试验．结果表明，大鼠自发性乳腺间变型腺癌对植物类药物、抗代谢类药物、烷化剂类药物和抗菌素类药物敏感（Ｐ＜０．００１），揭示了大鼠自发性乳腺间变型腺癌对抗肿瘤药物的敏感性比较广泛，是一株对抗肿瘤药物有广谱敏感性的瘤株．而对激素类药物不敏感（Ｐ＞０．０５），提示大鼠自发性乳腺间变型腺癌属于非激素依赖性瘤株     

Clomiphene citrate can mimic the augmentative (positive) but not the depressing (negative) effect of estradiol on the LHRH-stimulated release of LH and FSH by the pituitary gland of the long-term ovariectomized rat

Summary In the long-term ovariectomized rat, both estradiol benzoate (EB) and clomiphene citrate enhance the release of LH induced by luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH). EB also enhances the release of FSH. In rats pretreated with LHRH, EB strongly depresses the LHRH-induced LH/FSH release, but clomiphene enhances this release, regardless of the presence of EB.     

Both thermal and nociceptive afferents influence the unit activity of the neurons in the corpus striatum

Summary Both thermal and nociceptive stimulation in the periphery were shown to influence the neuronal activity recorded in the striatal area. Both the thermal and nociceptive sensitivity of the striatal neurons were closely related.The authors are grateful to the Alexander von Humboldt-Stiftung (Bad Godesberg, Bonn, Federal Republic of Germany) for donations of the necessary equipment for the present study.

宫内一次注入醋酸棉酚对大鼠抗早孕作用的机理研究

于大鼠妊娠第7天,宫内一次注入醋酸棉酚具有显著的抗早孕作用。在给棉酚的同时于大鼠妊娠7-13天,皮下注射孕酮5mg/d或HCG5IU/d或LHRH类似物20μg/d,全部动物均于妊娠第14天处死。结果表明,外源补充孕酮或HCG或LHRH类似物,虽然有的能增加卵巢重及提高血清孕酮含量,但均不能逆转宫内用醋酸棉酚的抗早孕作用。这表明宫内用棉酚对丘脑下部-垂体-卵巢轴的功能无明显影响。结果提示,宫内用醋酸棉酚的抗早孕作用的机理主要是局部性的。     

Effect of fasting on skeletal muscle triglyceride content

Summary The effect of prolonged food deprivation on the triglyceride level in different types of skeletal muscle was studied in the rat. It has been found that fasting gradually reduces the triglyceride content in each muscle type. It is concluded that i.m. triglycerides play an important role as energy fuel during fasting.     

Strain differences in the pattern and intensity of wheel running activity in laboratory rats

Summary Wheel running activity rhythms of three inbred rat strains, ACI/Ztm, BH/Ztm, and LEW/Ztm, were compared in order to evaluate the effect of genetic differences on circadian rhythm parameters. Significant strain differences were found in the general pattern of the activity rhythms and their characteristic periodicities as well as in the amount and duration of wheel running activity and the timing of activity onsets and offsets. The results suggest that genetic differences exist in the coupling of the multiple circadian oscillators that generate the overall pattern of wheel running activity.     

Methylation of hippocampal phosphatidylethanolamine and proteins during long-lasting potentiation

Summary Whereas the monomethylation of hippocampal phosphatidylethanolamine is decreased following the induction of long-lasting potentiation of the CA₁ population spike, carboxymethylation of proteins is unaffected.This work was supported by The University of British Columbia.     

The effect of cyproheptadine on insulin biosynthesis

Summary The effect of a potent antiserotonin-antithistaminic compound, cyproheptadine (CPH) on insulin biosynthesis was studied in pancreatic islets isolated from CPH-treated rats. Though insulin content of islets was markedly reduced in CPH-treated rats, the incorporation of radiolabeled leucine into proinsulin and insulin fractions was not affected with respect to the rate and amount. It is concluded that CPH may deplete insulin content of the islets through causing the leakage of insulin.
