TNF-α与G—CSF在脑缺血-再灌注损伤中的研究

再灌注损伤是由多种原因引起的复杂的病理生理过程,而级联的炎症反应是导致脑细胞损伤的重要病理环节。脑缺血再灌注后,浸润的炎性细胞产生的大量炎性介质,在再灌注损伤中占有重要地位。肿瘤坏死因子α（TNF-α）是一种具有广泛生物学功能的细胞因子,参与机体免疫应答和炎症反应TNF-α是细胞间粘附分子-1（ICAM-1）表达的强诱导剂,抑制细胞粘附分子（ICAM-1）表达可显著减低再灌注时白细胞粘附活化,减少损伤脑面积起保护作用。粒细胞集落刺激因子（G-CSF）能通过STAT途径减少缺血区肿瘤坏死因子-α等的释放,引起人们对其在脑缺血-再灌注损伤中的作用的极大关注。

细胞因子在ARDS发病机制中的作用

细胞因子是由多种细胞产生的多肽或低分子糖蛋白,在人体内含量极微,在pg水平就发挥作用。作为特异性免疫反应和非特异性免疫反应的蛋白质,细胞因子以自分泌、旁分泌、或内分泌方式产生,与相应的细胞表面受体结合,在局部或全身发挥复杂的生物学效应,它们的代谢异常和疾病的发生、发展有着密切的关系。有些细胞因子已应用于临床的生物学治疗,具有深远的临床应用价值,故对细胞因子的研究将是一个越来越重要的课题。急性肺损伤(ALI)/急性呼吸窘迫综合征(ARDS)发病机制错综复杂,大量临床和实验室研究证明多种效应细胞释放的炎症介质是造成ARDS的"中心环节",其中TNF-α、IL-1、IL-8、IL-10、CXC趋化因子等细胞因子在ARDS发病中的作用尤为重要。本文就细胞因子在ARDS发病机制中的作用做一综述。

炎症Caspase与相关疾病

Caspase家族是一类与细胞凋亡和炎症反应重要相关的蛋白酶,其中与炎症相关的主要有Caspase-1、-4、-5、-11、-12,总称为炎症Caspase,主要与促炎症细胞因子IL-1的产生有关。IL-1处于免疫反应的上游,能刺激多种炎症细胞因子和多种效应分子的产生,引起神经细胞凋亡和毒性、关节疼痛和损伤、肝细胞凋亡、急性胰腺炎等与炎症相关疾病。因此,抑制炎症Caspase对治疗炎症相关疾病有重要意义。

Cause of Senescence of Nine Sorts of Flowers

The levels of endogenous phytohormones and respiratory rate in nine sorts of flowers such as Cymbidium faberi Rolfe, Nopalxochia ackermannii Kunth and others were investigated both at full bloom and senescence and meanwhile the effect of exogenous phytohormones on prolonging the blossoms and promoting ethylene production were tested. There is a high content of endogenous ethylene in all the long-lived flowere, about 3–16 folds higer than the short-lived ones. There is a high level of ABA at full blooming flowers of short-lived flowers, in which there is no or only some cytokinins in it, but the ratio of CTK (6BA+zeatin)/ABA is smaller(l.7). The endogenous ABA reached a much higher level at senescence in all nine sorts of flowers, so it is reasonable to consider that it is ABA which plays an important role of regulation in controlling flower's senescence. There is a much higher level of GA3 and zeatin in the long-lived flowers which is not demonstrated in the shortlived ones. The respiratory rate is one of the factors controtling the longevity of flowers, but it does not play a decided role. Application of 6BA and zeatin prolongs distinctly orchid’s longevity, however exogenous IAA through the promotive action on ethylene production, evidently extends the longevity of the flowers of the Nopalxochia ackermannii Kunth.     

Photoregulation of seed germination of wild-type and of an aurea-mutant of tomato

Seed germination of an aurea mutant of tomato ( Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) is promoted by continuous irradiation with red, far-red or long-wavelength far-red (758 nm) light as well as by cyclic irradiations (5 min red or 5 min far-red/25 min darkness). Far-red light applied immediately after each red does not change the germination behaviour. Seed germination of the isogenic wild-type, cv. UC-105, is promoted by continuous and cyclic red light while it is inhibited by continuous and cyclic far-red light and by continious 758 nm irradiation. Far-red irradiation reverses almost completely the promoting effect of red light. The promoting effect (in the aurea mutant) and the inhibitory effect (in the wild-type) of continuous far-red light do not show photon fluence rate dependency above 20 nmol m⁻² s⁻¹. It is concluded that phytochrome controls tomato seed germination throgh low energy responses in both the wild type and the au mutant. The promoting effect of continuous and cyclic far-red light in the au mutant can be attributed to a greater sensitivity to P_fr.

The effects of glutamine of the maintenance of embryogenic cultures of Cryptomeria japonica

Summary Embryogenic tissues of sugi (Cryptomeria japonica) were induced on a modified Campbell and Durzan (CD) medium containing 1 μM 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and 600 mg l⁻¹ glutamine, and subcultured in the medium of the same composition for over 1 yr. This resulted in a mixed culture of embryogenic and non-embryogenic cells. When embryogenic cells were isolated and cultured independently, their capacity to form embryogenic aggregates was lost. Thus, the non-embryogenic cells present within a mixed culture system were essential to the formation of embryogenic aggregates. When embryogenic tissues were isolated and cultured independently on a high glutamine-containing (2400 mg l⁻¹) medium, dry weights and endogenous levels of glutamine increased, and the tissue could generate a large number of embryogenic aggregates. Amino acid analysis of embryogenic and non-embryogenic cells from the maintenance culture indicated a higher level of glutamine was present in the latter. The high endogenous level of glutamine in the non-embryogenic portion of mixed cell masses may be the supplier of glutamine for maintaining the embryogenic property of the tissues.     

Specificity of action of piperidylcholine derivatives as substrates of cholinesterases of various origin

The review deals with study of enzymologic properties of a novel highly specific acetylcholinesterase substrate, N-(β-acetoxyethyl) piperidinium iodomethylate (“piperidylcholine”), and its 30 derivatives that were tested as effectors of cholinesterases of mammals and various species of Pacific squids. It was proven for the first time that responsible for specificity of action was structure of cyclic ammonium grouping of the alcohol part of molecule of the ester substrate. Analysis of specificity is performed based on enzymatic hydrolysis parameters—activity of catalytic center of cholinesterases and bimolecular constant of the reaction rate that are determined at optimal and low substrate concentrations. Among the specially synthesized group of thioester compounds there is revealed one more highly specific acetylcholinesterase substrate—N-(β-acetoxyethyl) piperidinium.     

Interconnection of parameters of regulation system of lipid peroxidation and of morphophysiological parameters of mouse liver

A complex analysis of seasonal fluctuations of the mean group parameters of the system of regulation of lipid peroxidation has been performed in liver of Balb/c mice. Association of lipid characteristics and morphophysiological parameters is studied in the Balb/c mouse liver. An inter-connection is revealed between the liver index and the amount of lysoforms of phospholipids, the scale and character of the interconnection differing essentially depending on proportion of phos-phatidylcholine in mouse liver phospholipids.
