硼中子俘获治疗(BNCT,boron neutron capture therapy)规划软件系统MCDB(Monte Carlo dosimetry inbrain),包括医学前处理、Monte Carlo物理剂量计算和后处理。采用中心点方法确定网格的材料和密度,并自动生成Monte Carlo输入文件。MCDB借鉴并发展了一套网格几何下的快速粒子径迹算法,取得了与MCNP程序一致的剂量计算结果,计算速度较MCNP程序提高2.7~3.5倍。MCDB可进行并行计算,具有线性加速比,能够满足BNCT临床对计算时间和精度的要求。     

新生期注射谷氨酸单钠对大鼠其脑钙结合素表达的影响

为探讨谷氨酸单钠（monosodium glutamate,MSG）对脑钙结合素（calbindin-28kD,CB）表达的影响，选用新生SD大鼠29只，分为实验组和对照组，实验组设3g/kg和1g/kg2个剂量组，生后第3－9天经腹腔注射MSG，对照组设实验对照（注射生理盐水12mL/kg）和空白对照，满10周龄时4％甲醛灌注固定，取脑做冰冻冠状切片进行钙结合素的免疫组化反应。计算各组大鼠丘脑、下丘脑、海马及大脑基底核算脑区钙结合素阳性神经元数量。发现钙结合素能神经元分布数量具有脑区差异，且新生期注射谷氨酸单钠可使成年后某些核团的钙结合素阳性神经元增多，表明钙纱能神经元可抗谷氨酸神经毒性。     

老年性痴呆症患者的EEG近似熵特征初探

老年性痴呆症是一种后天获得性中枢神经系统退行性疾病，严重地危害着人们的身体健康和生活质量，为了探索老年性痴呆症脑电图中隐含的信息，对老年性痴呆症患者和健康对照者的脑电图（EEG）近似熵进行分析，并绘制其脑电脑电信息图，对照健康人，发现患者EEG近似熵普遍下降，尤以右额叶，颞叶区显著，提示EEG近似熵与大脑功能状况有一定联系，在一定程度上可以反映大脑功能状态。     

脑活动的自组织特征研究

大脑的活动规律是神经科学研究的重点和难点之一，揭示脑的工作原理将有助于真正发现自我，大脑是一个高度的自组织系统，其活动有许多固有特征，相应有许多生物物理解释模型，从不同方面刻画了脑功能，建立一个自组织模型，分析表明该模型可以从神经元活动的共性上来解译脑活动的某些一般规律。     

Construction of human and mouse brain cDNA libraries and isolation of full-length cDNAs

cDNA libraries from aborted human 3-month fetal brain,adult rat and mouse brain were constructed by using a yZAP express cDNA library construction kin.Low molecular weight fragments of the second strand cDNASA were removed by flowing through the Sepharose CL-4B column and the frractionated long,Middle,Short fragments and the combined fragments weire respectively inserted into clone vectors to construct the cDNA libraries of the brain of human 3-month fetus.The 5'ends of 1200 clones from each of human fetal brain cDNA libraries were sequenced.A total of 894 ESTs were obtained and some full-length clones were squenced.By andalyaing the se-quences,12 novel full-length cDNAs were obtained.     

Human slow wave sleep: A review and appraisal of recent findings,with implications for sleep functions,and psychiatric illness

Recent findings concerning human slow wave sleep (hSWS-stages 3+4; delta EEG activity) are critically reviewed. Areas covered include the significance of the first hSWS cycle; hSWS in extended sleep; relationship between hSWS, prior wakefulness and sleep loss; hSWS influence on sleep length; problems with hSWS deprivation; influence of the circadian rhythm; individual differences in hSWS, especially, age, gender and constitutional variables such as physical fitness and body composition. Transient increases in hSWS can be produced by increasing both the quality and quantity of prior wakefulness, with an underlying mechanism perhaps relating to the waking level of brain metabolism. Whilst there may also be thermoregulatory influences on hSWS, hypotheses that energy conservation and brain cooling are major roles for hSWS are debatable. hSWS seems to offer some form of cerebral recovery, with the prefrontal cortex being particularly implicated. The hSWS characteristics of certain forms of major psychiatric disorders may well endorse this prefrontal link.     

重组人脑钠素在大肠杆菌中的表达、纯化与鉴定

人脑钠素(hBNP,humanbrainnatriureticpeptide)是心室分泌的由32个氨基酸组成的多肽激素.临床研究表明,hBNP是治疗充血型心衰竭的一种安全有效的多肽药物.化学合成脑钠素全基因,以pET32a为表达载体,构建了硫氧还蛋白-脑钠素(thioredoxin＿hBNP)融合蛋白表达质粒,并转化至大肠杆菌BL21(DE3),经IPTG诱导,融合蛋白的表达量占全菌蛋白量的25%以上.融合蛋白经肠激酶裂解、Zn＿Sepharose亲和层析和C4反相高效液相层析,从每升培养液中可获取4mgrhBNP,纯度达到95%.经质谱测定,rhBNP样品的分子量为3464Da.体外活性测定结果表明,rhBNP样品对兔胸主动脉条具有显著的血管舒张效应,其ED50为(2.24±0 58)×10-6mg/mL.

Differential distribution of TASK-1, TASK-2 and TASK-3 immunoreactivities in the rat and human cerebellum

In this work, the distributions of some acid-sensitive two-pore-domain K⁺ channels (TASK-1, TASK-2 and TASK-3) were investigated in the rat and human cerebellum. Astrocytes situated in rat cerebellar tissue sections were positive for TASK-2 channels. Purkinje cells were strongly stained and granule cells and astrocytes were moderately positive for TASK-3. Astrocytes isolated from the hippocampus, cerebellum and cochlear nucleus expressed TASK channels in a primary tissue culture. Our results suggest that TASK channel expression may be significant in the endoplasmic reticulum of the astrocytes. The human cerebellum showed weak TASK-2 immunolabelling. The pia mater, astrocytes, Purkinje and granule cells demonstrated strong TASK-1 and TASK-3 positivities. The TASK-3 labelling was stronger in general, but it was particularly intense in the Purkinje cells and pia mater.Received 25 February 2004; received after revision 19 April 2004; accepted 28 April 2004
