Evaluation of the hepatotoxicological effects of a drug in an in vivo/in vitro model

Both in vivo and in vitro models have certain disadvantages for the study of the chronic hepatotoxicity of drugs. The aim of this work was to evaluate a new approach based on an in vivo/in vitro model. After chronic in vivo treatment of rats with Vincamine and Vindeburnol (an eburnamenine derivative which exhibits hepatotoxic properties in man) liver cells were isolated, and functional and metabolic disorders (metabolic utilization of fructose and protein biosynthesis) were studied to determine injury. The results showed no modification of blood parameters, but a direct relationship between the dose of Vindeburnol administered in vivo and the metabolic disorders observed in vitro, evidencing the high sensitivity and reliability of this model.     

Adrenocortical metabolism and plasma corticosterone in soman intoxicated rabbits

Summary The organophosphate neurotoxin soman produced impairments in adrenocortical RNA and protein metabolism. Fasciculate and reticular cell RNA and protein contents were supporessed with sublethal to acutely lethal dosages (20, 30 and 40 g/kg, s.c.) during the acute excitatory phase of intoxication and at 6–8 h post injection. All three dosages produced ca 90% inactivation of plasma cholinesterase. A transient elevation of plasma corticosterone occurred with 20 g/kg soman whereas there was a protracted increase with 30 g/kg. Corticosterone was not significantly elevated with 40 g/kg, but death occurred at 13±4 min. Thus, the magnitude and/or nature of soman-induced metabolic impairments does not appear to prevent adrenal activation.Supported by US Army Medical Research and Development Command Contract DAMD 17-81-C-1202.

Cook-Seiford函数的若干推广

用例子指出Cook-seiford函数所得的群排序的不唯一性，并利用计算机模拟实验说明这种情况出现的几率较大，提出Cook-Seiford函数的两种推广：加权的Cook-Seiford函数和基于Minkowski距离的Cook-Seiford函数；解决了Cook-Seiford函数结果不唯一的问题．推广的Cook-Seiford函数还可以用来进行多属性决策．     

高校德育内容的构建与创新

高校德育目标的实现关键在于德育内容的系统构建.目前高校德育内容存在着把德育等同于政治教育、社会适应性教育及理想教育的倾向.针对存在问题,按系统论的要求,对高校德育内容构建进行改革和创新:一是以人的发展为出发点;二是实现理想性与现实性的统一;三是要做到社会适应性与个体发展相结合.
