Dopamine and octopamine in whole body extracts of the bulb mite

Summary Using high performance liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection, whole body extracts of the bulb mite,Rhizoglyphus echinopus (Fumouze and Robin), were found to contain the biogenic amines dopamine and octopamine at concentrations of 4.3±0.6 and 2.3±1.4 ng g^–1 wet weight, respectively. Adrenaline, noradrenaline, tyramine,N-methyldopamine,N-acetyldopamine, and 5-hydroxytryptamine, if present, were below the limits of detectability. This is the initial demonstration of the presence of octopamine in a mite species.     

多巴胺和5羟色胺神经元发育的基因调控途径

多巴胺神经元和5羟色胺神经元是两种脑内控制多种生理功能的神经元,它们的发育（产生、分化和成熟等）受到胞外信号分子和胞内转录因子的调节。这方面的研究不断取得重要突破,本文将对最近的进展进行讨论。     

以多巴胺为配体示差脉冲伏安法间接测定生物体液中的铝

建立了用神经递质多巴胺作电活性配体示差脉冲伏安法间接测定生物体液中的铝的方法 .多巴胺在玻碳电极上的氧化峰电流随铝浓度的增加而线性下降 .在最佳测定条件 (pH 7.0 ,2 .4× 1 0 -4 mol/L多巴胺 ,0 .0 8mol/LNH4Ac缓冲溶液 )下 ,铝的检测下限、相对标准偏差 (4× 1 0 -6mol/LAl(III) ,n =8)、线性范围分别为 1 .7× 1 0 -7mol/L、3 .4%、4 .0× 1 0 -7～ 42×1 0 -7mol/LAl(III) .对许多生物体液中可能存在的物质进行了干扰试验 .采用标准加入法将所建立的方法应用于实际样品如人全血、脑病患者的脑脊液、糖尿病患者的尿、肺癌患者的腹水、合成肾透析液及合成脑脊液等样品中铝测定 ,结果表明回收率在 95 %～1 0 8%之间 ,所测得的样品中铝含量与文献值和ICP法值吻合 .通过紫外光谱、拉曼光谱及 1 3 C核磁共振谱探讨了测定方法的原理 .加入铝后多巴胺氧化峰电流的下降原因是铝与多巴胺的邻羟基配位 ,从而使电活性的多巴胺浓度下降

Neurobiology and neuroimmunology of Tourette’s syndrome: an update

Tourettes syndrome is a childhood-onset neuropsychiatric disorder characterized by the presence of both multiple motor and vocal tics. While the pathogenesis at a molecular and cellular level remains unknown, structural and functional neuroimaging studies point to the involvement of the basal ganglia and related cortico-striato-thalamo-cortical circuits as the neuroanatomical site for Tourettes syndrome. Moreover, Tourettes syndrome has a strong genetic component, and considerable progress has been made in understanding the mode of transmission and in identifying potential genomic loci. Summaries of recent findings in these areas will be reviewed, followed by a critical overview of findings both supporting and challenging the proposed autoimmune hypothesis of Tourettes syndrome. We conclude that Tourettes syndrome is a heterogeneous disorder, and that immune factors may indeed be involved in some patients.Received 12 August 2003; received after revision 8 October 2003; accepted 31 October 2003     

丁苯那嗪调节TH和突触囊泡转运改善HD的机制研究

通过腹腔注射3-硝基丙酸（3-NP）建立亨廷顿舞蹈症（HD）大鼠模型,探究丁苯那嗪（TBZ）改善HD样症状的作用及机制。结果显示,TBZ缓解了3-NP诱导的HD大鼠体重下降和运动障碍,逆转了纹状体中亨廷顿蛋白（Htt）的表达和神经元丢失;同时TBZ调节了纹状体中神经递质的含量,抑制酪氨酸羟化酶（TH）和囊泡单胺转运体2（VMAT2）的表达,并保护突触免受损伤;TBZ通过同时调控突触囊泡转运和TH的表达以降低纹状体中多巴胺（DA）的释放和合成,保护突触功能和神经元,从而减轻HD样症状。     

高效液相色谱法同时测定树鼩脑组织中的去甲肾上腺素,多巴胺,5-羟色胺及色氨酸

应用高效液相色谱(HPLC)--荧光检测,在一根带有预柱的LKB Superpac ODSC_(18)钢柱上,使用离子对系统做为洗脱液,对一组正常活动规律的树鼩脑组织液中的去甲肾上腺素(NE)、多巴胺(DA)、5-羟色胺(5-HT)及色氨酸(TRP)进行测定。荧光检测的波长为激发波长280nm,发射波长360nm得到各物质最小检测限量为:40ng NE和80ngDA(信噪比3:1)以及10ng5-HT和15ng TRP(信噪比4:1)。此方法具有实验操作简单、方便、快速、灵敏度较高、样品易于处理等特点。
