局灶性脑缺血再灌注损伤神经细胞凋亡的研究

目的研究局灶性脑缺血再灌注损伤后神经细胞凋亡及其大鼠脑组织不同时间病理学改变情况.方法随机选取66只成年Wistatr大鼠,按照随机数字法分3组,对照组(假手术组,n=6)、观察1组(脑缺血组,n=24)、观察2组(脑缺血再灌注组,n=36).采用线栓法制造大鼠局灶性脑缺血再灌注模型,手术后HE染色,并分别采用TUNEL法和电镜观察大鼠缺血灌注损伤后神经元凋亡情况和细胞凋亡形态的变化.结果大鼠缺血再灌注后0~63 h时其神经功能损伤最为严重,伴随时间的延长逐渐能得到轻微缓解和改善,再灌注24 h后神经功能明显好转,之后再次出现加重的趋势.研究发现:再灌注后神经元会出现凋亡,TUNEL阳性细胞集中在灌注后病灶中心的边缘区域以及皮层区.结论线栓法制备动物脑组织缺血灌注模型能有效用于脑组织缺血再灌注后的临床分析,局灶区的神经元以凋亡、坏死为主,其中轻度脑缺血主要以神经凋亡为主,中重度缺血主要以坏死为主.     

Interactional expertise through the looking glass: a peek at mirror neurons

Interactional expertise is here to stay. Undoubtedly, in some sense of the word, one can attain a linguistic expert level within a field without full scale practical immersion. In the context of the idea of embodied cognition, the claim is provocative. How can an interactional expert acquire full linguistic competence without the simultaneous bodily engagement and real life interaction needed to get the language right? How can one understand the concept of hammering if one has never seen a hammer or felt the weight of the iron head on a fragile thumb? Here I will explore a strange and second-hand way in which bodily engagement could have an impact on our linguistic abilities; this is via the so called mirror neuron system. Since the mirror neuron system blurs the distinction between first and third person activity it can help us understand some of the enigmatic aspects of interactional expertise and pose further questions for research.     

利手与注意偏向对双耳分听汉字大脑功能优势的影响

对24名左利手和24名右利手被试在三种注意条件（刺激驱动、注意左耳和注意右耳）下进行双耳分听汉字测验,检查中国人利手与汉字听觉词汇加工大脑两半球功能优势的关系,同时考察被试的注意偏向对优势效应的影响.结果表明：（1）汉语母语左利手被试加工汉字听觉词汇的大脑功能偏侧化组织明显不同于右利手;（2）右利手被试在刺激驱动条件下的右耳（左半球）优势易受注意偏向的调节出现明显波动;（3）注意偏向对左利手被试的影响主要表现为优势的左耳（右半球）成绩的下降与非优势的右耳（左半球）成绩的提高,这暗示汉语母语左利手者可能存在汉字听觉词汇加工的潜在两半球表征.     

Behavioral and neuronal mechanisms of cricket phonotaxis

Summary The auditory communication of crickets provides a model system for the analysis of the neuronal mechanisms underlying complex behavior. The song of male crickets attracts females. The necessary and sufficient parameter of the song for the female phonotaxis has been determined by a quantified behavioral analysis. Neuronal correlates of this pattern recognition exist in the cricket brain and give rise to a hypothesis on the mechanism of song pattern recognition. Causal relationships between the orientation of a cricket during phonotaxis and the activity of single identified neurons were found by monitoring and deactivating single neurons during behavior. The different roles of various identifield neurons for sound localization have been tested by this method. The plasticity of the auditory system at both the behavioral and at the neuronal level has been studied after ampytation of one ear, and a mechanism for sound localization with only one ear is proposed.     

优化提取与分离海兔大脑神经节蛋白质组

蓝斑背肛海兔（Notarcus Leachii cirrosus Stimpson，NLCS）属于海洋软体动物．NLCS大脑神经节（cerebral ganglion，CG）富含高丰度的脂类物质，并干扰了三氯醋酸-丙酮法沉淀CG蛋白质．本实验的目的是找到一种适合提取、分离海兔CG蛋白的方法．经各种实验方法对比后，发现超速离心法能有效分离CG破碎液中的脂类化合物，提高双向凝胶电泳法分离BG蛋白质组的分辨率，大约可检测到450个蛋白质点．     

刺五加对大鼠脑缺血损伤修复作用的研究

采用双侧颈总动脉结扎制作SD大鼠暂时性全脑缺血模型,手术后尾静脉分别注射药物刺五加注射液或生理盐水进行观察和神经行为学评分,制片作常规HE染色和Nestin免疫组化染色检测缺血损伤后的修复情况.神经行为学评分显示刺五加组神经功能恢复明显好于生理盐水组.脑缺血再灌注后3d时海马、室管膜和室管膜下区神经干细胞有少量Nestin阳性表达;脑缺血再灌注后5d和7d时海马、室管膜、室管膜下区和缺血区神经干细胞阳性Nestin阳性细胞数明显增加,尤其在缺血区,刺五加组Nestin阳性表达细胞数显著多于生理盐水对照组.     

Pathogenesis of Plasmodium falciparum malaria: the roles of parasite adhesion and antigenic variation

Malaria results in up to 2.5 million deaths annually, with young children and pregnant women at greatest risk. The great majority of severe disease is caused by Plasmodium falciparum. A characteristic feature of infection with P. falciparum is the accumulation or sequestration of parasite-infected red blood cells (RBCs) in various organs, such as the brain, lung and placenta, and together with other factors is important in the pathogenesis of severe forms of malaria. Sequestration results from adhesive interactions between parasite-derived proteins expressed on the surface of infected RBCs and a number of host molecules on the surface of endothelial cells, placental cells and uninfected RBCs. Some receptors for parasite adhesion have been implicated in particular malaria syndromes, such as intercellular adhesion molecule 1 in cerebral malaria and chondroitin sulfate A and hyaluronic acid in placental infection. The principal parasite ligand and antigen on the RBC surface, P. falciparum erythrocyte membrane protein 1 encoded by a multigene family termed var, is clonally variant, enabling evasion of specific immune responses. An understanding of these host-parasite interactions in the context of clinical disease and immunity may reveal potential targets to prevent or treat severe forms of malaria.

ASICs阻断剂对大鼠脑I/R损伤炎性反应的影响

探讨了酸敏感离子通道阻断剂阿米洛利对大鼠脑I/R损伤性炎性反应的影响。采用Zea Longa线栓法建立Sprague-Dawley(SD)大鼠局灶性脑缺血再灌注(I/R)模型,于脑缺血2h再灌注24h时间点测定血清肿瘤坏死因子-α和血浆内皮素的含量。结果显示各组间比较差异有统计学意义:血清肿瘤坏死因子-α:F=9.937,P=0.000;血浆内皮素:F=49.487,P=0.000;阿米洛剂Ⅰ组和Ⅱ组的血清肿瘤坏死因子-α和血浆内皮素较相应I/R模型组低(P<0.05)。这表明,阿米洛利可能通过阻断酸敏感离子通道减轻Ca2超载,降低肿瘤坏死因子-α和血浆内皮素的含量而抑制炎性反应,发挥神经保护作用。
