树鼩(Tuapaia belangeri chinensis)的动脉

本文在对中国树鼩的动脉系作系统解剖的基础上,记述了树鼩动脉分支的主要特征。同时,还与其他有关种类作了比较研究。结果表明,中国树鼩动脉系的主要特征与树鼩科中的其他种类如笔尾树鼩、普通树鼩和地树鼩等的动脉系极为相似,而与灵长类中的猿猴类有较大差异。     

树qu（Tupaia belangeri chinensis）的脑底动脉环

用25只树qu,从升主动脉灌注带色的橡胶乳液,在解剖显微镜下进行解剖观察,用目测微尺进行测量。大多数树qu（22只）有完整的脑底动脉环。由左、右大脑前动脉向内侧各发一前交通动脉组成大脑前总动脉。前交通动脉口径为大脑前动脉的75-85%。后交通动脉口径与大脑后动脉相近,连于颈内动脉与大脑后动脉（基底动脉的分支）之间。测量了组成脑底动脉环有关动脉的口径。由于后交通动脉足够粗大,只有中断左、右颈总动脉和左、右椎动脉,才能造成全脑缺血。     

树qu（Tupaia belangeri chinesis）耳蜗毛细胞铺片的观察

我们用树qu14只,取耳蜗铺片后进行毛细胞计数和长度测量。发现树qu毛细胞数及缺失率与人、猴、豚鼠不同,树qu毛细胞失数少且稳定,蜗尖弃用部少,不同种群间的个体差异小,利于用作生物学实验动物,可为研究耳的生理、病理及临床服务。

模拟空间节律（L：D=0.75h：0.75h）对树qu...

It is known that contemporary space station revolves at the altitude of 400-500 km in the outer space. The present study was undertaken to investigate the effects of simulated space rhythm (L:D = 0.75 h:0.75 h) at this altitude on circadian rhythm in tree shrews (Tupaia belangeri chinensis) and the effects of endogenous sleep inducing neuropeptide Asp5-alpha-DSIP on the space-rhythm-entrained circadian rhythm. This primitive stock serves as one species of Tupaiidae and is a unique native of South China. Our previous studies have shown that this species showed striking differences in natural circadian rhythm between day and night (e.g. 3.03 degrees C of rectal temperature). Results showed that the above mentioned space rhythm (L:D = 0.75h:0.75h) could drastically disturb the inherent circadian rhythm of Tupaia belangeri chinensis. The maximal peak of motor activity dropped significantly in the morning (0600-1200) and a new enhanced peak (more than 20 times greater than that of the control) was found between 1800-2400, whereas the maximal trough of motor activity (2400-0600) remained basically unchanged. Concurrently, the total amount of 24-h motor activity was significantly decreased and the recovery after the cessation of space rhythm was slow. Experimental results also demonstrated that consecutive administration of Asp5-alpha-DSIP (30 micrograms/kg, i.p.) for 5 days (2 days before and 3 days during space rhythm) did not prevent the basic disturbance of circadian rhythm of Tupaia belangeri chinensis caused by the space rhythm (L:D = 0.75h:0.75h). Nevertheless, no decrease or even some enhancement of the total amount of 24th motor activity was observed during space rhythm or after its cessation.
