Alternative exon usage selectively determines both tissue distribution and subcellular localization of the acyl-CoA thioesterase 7 gene products

Acyl-CoA thioesterases (ACOTs) catalyze the hydrolysis of acyl-CoAs to free fatty acids and coenzyme A. Recent studies have demonstrated that one gene named Acot7, reported to be mainly expressed in brain and testis, is transcribed in several different isoforms by alternative usage of first exons. Strongly decreased levels of ACOT7 activity and protein in both mitochondria and cytosol was reported in patients diagnosed with fatty acid oxidation defects, linking ACOT7 function to regulation of fatty acid oxidation in other tissues. In this study, we have identified five possible first exons in mouse Acot7 (Acot7a–e) and show that all five first exons are transcribed in a tissue-specific manner. Taken together, these data show that the Acot7 gene is expressed as multiple isoforms in a tissue-specific manner, and that expression in tissues other than brain and testis is likely to play important roles in fatty acid metabolism.

纳洛酮对大鼠脑外伤后神经细胞凋亡的影响

目的：采用Feeney法自由落体撞击脑损伤动物模型，观察纳洛酮对脑外伤后神经细胞凋亡和脑水肿的影响。方法：90只大鼠分为实验组及对照组，在损伤后15、60min及24h分别予纳洛酮或生理盐水，损伤后第5d断头处死大鼠，TUNEL法测定神经细胞原位凋亡情况，测定损伤侧大脑半球含水理以及光镜下观察细胞形态学改变。结果：与对照组比较，大鼠脑外伤后15及60min静注纳洛酮可保护神经细胞，减少凋亡率，减轻脑水肿；而外伤后24h给药，神经细胞凋亡率以及脑水肿无显著性差异。结论；研究结果提示纳洛酮作为阿片受体的拮抗剂有保护大鼠脑外伤后神经细胞的作用，但应在外伤后尽早用药。

“净螨粉”的研制及应用

绵羊痒螨是一种由螨虫引起的高度接触性慢性皮肤寄生虫病.病畜表现剧痒、湿疹性皮炎、脱毛.严重贫血,营养不良.如治疗不当,尤其在东北、西北、内蒙等地区冬季会造成患羊大批死亡,给养羊业带来巨大经济损失.目前国内防治绵羊痒螨病的兽药,临床多用水剂(或将药粉稀释成水溶液)、软膏剂.水剂适应于气候温暖季节的地区,而寒冷的北方冬季不能用,绵羊螨病极易复发,往往造成患畜大批死亡.软膏剂价格高,不适于大批患畜的治疗与防预.因此,研制一种使用方法简单、

Inhibition by tetanus and botulinum A toxin of the release of [3H]noradrenaline and [3H]GABA from rat brain homogenate

Summary Rat brain homogenate was preloaded with [³H]noradrenaline or [³H]GABA and stimulated with high K⁺. Tetanus toxin and botulinum A neurotoxin partially prevent the evoked [³H]noradrenaline release in the same range of toxin concentrations starting below 10^–10M. In contrast, release of -amino butyric acid (GABA) is much more sensitive to tetanus than to botulinum A toxin.
