Effect of lithium salt(Li)administnation to caudate-putamen nucleus (CPN) on pain response in the rat was studied by chronic cannula implantation and direct injection of drugs into the brain structurementioned above. The results were as follows:( 1 ) The injection of Li into anterior part of the head of CPN of rats produced significantly the analgesic effect that could be antagonized by naloxone, atropine,phento-lamine.propranolol, lysergic acid diethylamide and bicuculline, but not by haloperidol.(2) The injection of Li into central part of the head of CPN of rats did not produce analgesic effect.The results above showed that microinjection of Li into different parts of the head of CPN could give rise to different effects on pain response and the analgesic effect of Li could be related to metabolic changes of endogenous opioid peptides, acetylcholine, noradrenaline, gama aminobutyric acid and 5-hydroXytryptamin aad mediated by their receptors respectively

The morphological changes of the humerus and femur were examined in 52 sports- men (30 weight-lifters-static type of movement and 22 runners—dynamic type of move- ment).The results were as follows: 1.In the humerus of the weight-lifters the thickness of the wall of bone was very much increased as compared with that of the runners and,as a result,the transverse diameter of the shaft enlarged and the cavity diminished. 2.In the femur,however,no such changes were observed in both types of exercise. On the contrary,there is some indication that the femur of the runners increased in longitudinal direction. 3.In the weight-lifters,the thickness of the wall of the bone was not only shown in the shaft,but also in the metaphyses where it ended as a sickle in the longitudinal section.On the other hand,that of the runners gradually pointed out. 4.The bony prominences of the humerus of the weight-lifters were very much marked and its internal bony lamellae were clearly visible.

For a period of 3 months,an experimental exercise under the influence of dynamic and static factors was given to 3 groups (15 each) of mice.The histological changes of the extensor muscle of the post extremities of these mice were examined by the Bielschowsky-Gros and H.E.methods.The result,as compared with that of the control group,was summarized as follows: 1.The structural changes of the muscle fibers differ in different groups under the influence of different mechanical factors,for instance,under the influence of static factors either the muscle fibers as a whole or their nuclei were enlarged mainly along the trans- verse diameter. 2.The increase in number of nuclei of the muscle was observed in the experi- mental animals among which the dynamic type was most conspicuous.This increase was not only related to the character of mechanical factors,but also the intensity of the muscular activity. 3.Under mechanical factors,the nuclei of the muscles were increased both in number and in size.Under the influence of dynamic factors,the nuclei increased pre- dominantly in length (long type nuclei) while under the influence of static factor,its in- crease was mainly along the transverse direction.In the latter the transverse diameter of the long type nuclei was also wider and tends to become oval in shape.It is,therefore, assumed that the type and number of the nuclei of the muscle cells depend upon the func- tional activity of the organ and the character of the force acting upon it. 4.After a long period of exercise,either by means of dynamic or static factor, a large number of annular nuclei was found in the muscles.This phenomenum has not been reported in the literature.

Fifteen mice, were divided into 3 groups, each was trained to adopt a particularfunctional state of muscular activity for a long term. The histological changes of theirmotor end-plates were examined by means of the Bielschowsky-Gros and the Ranvier'sgold chloride techniques. The results were summarized as follows: 1. It was found that, by increasing the dynamic or static functional activity of mus-cles of the mice, the motor end-plates were enlarged in size and their nuclei were in-creased in number, as compared with those of the control group. 2. The size of the nuclei of the end-plates of both experimental groups was notequally affected, e.g., the nuclei in the static group were larger, while those in the dyna-mic group were comparatively smaller. 3. Under the influence of the dynamic or static muscular exercise, the end-platesincreased in their sizes, more so in the static than in the dynamic group, while the controlgroup remained to be the smallest. The diameter had a tendency to increase along thelong axis in the dynamic group, and along the transverse axis in the static group; hencethe end plate appeared to be oblong in the former and oval in the latter group. 4. After a long term of muscular exercise, whether dynamic or static in nature, thenerve fibers supplying the end-plates increased in thickness and degree of complexity oframification. There were some unidentified cells with annular nucleus in the vicinity ofthe end-plate. 5. Mechanism of the changes of the motor end-plates was discussed in the light offunctional morphology.

Hepatic veno-occlusive disease (HVOD) is a serious complication of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.The mortality rate of severe HVOD (sHVOD) approaches 100 ％.Defibrotide (DF) is a polydisperse mixture of single-stranded oligonucleotides with antithrombotic and fibrinolytic properties.Numerous clinical trials have demonstrated its effectiveness and safety in the prevention and treatment of HVOD.This review focuses on the possible mechanisms of action of DF and its use in the prevention and treatment of HVOD.

Pd nanoparticles (Pd NPs) were electrodeposited on the glassy carbon electrode (GCE). Then, Pd NPs/GCE was further inserted into H2 SO4 solution to polarize for 5 min to absorb a certain amount of active hydrogen. Then, the electrode was quickly inserted to HAuCl4 solution for 15 min. AuNPs were deposited spontaneously on the surface of Pd NPs due to the reduction of active hydrogen. As a result, Pd-AuNPs were modified on the surface of GCE. Next, aptamer I of thrombin was immobilized on Pd-Au nanoparticles. In the presence of thrombin, it bound with the aptamer immobilized on Pd-Au nanoparticles and thus the formed complex obstructed the catalysis of Pd-Au nanoparticles to H2 O2 . Hence, the reduction current of H2 O2 decreased with the increase of thrombin concentration. The aptamer sensor had a good linear relationship with the concentration of thrombin in the range of 2. 98-297 nmol/L with a detection limit of 0. 98 nmol/L.
