Acta Anatomica Sinica 2002;0(06):-
Objective To compare the effects of different intervals of theta burst stimulation(TBS) on the expression of long-term potentiation(LTP) and to explore whether LTP is tyrosine protein kinase(TPK)-dependent.in basolateral amygdala(BLA).Methods Basolateral amygdala slices of rats were prepared.Field excitatory post-synaptic potentials(field potential,fEPSPs) of BLA were recorded by stimulating the external capsule.Two TBS's were applied to induce LTP in BLA.Each TBS included a brief,high-frequency pulse train(5 pulses at 100 Hz) given at the theta-rhythm(5Hz) for 4 seconds.Experiments compare the effects of different intervals of two TBS's on the expression of LTP in BLA.The role of tyrosine protein kinase(TPK) on LTP was then determined using bath application of TPK inhibitor genistein.Results Two TBS's of 10 seconds interval failed to induce LTP in BLA.However,two TBS's increased to 10 min and 30 min intervals,individually,both types of stimulations enhanced f-EPSPs.The enhanced f-EPSPs lasted for more than 30 min.LTP induced by two TBS's of 10 min and 30 min interval were blocked by the TPK inhibitor genistein.Conclusion Two TBS's of 10 min intervals was better at the induction of LTP in BLA.The activation of TPK was possibly involved in the induction and maintenance of LTP in the amygdala.

Background and purpose:The effective rate of ifrst-line chemotherapy for advanced lung cancer is 30%-40%. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efifcacy and adverse effects of pemetrexed combined with carboplatin or cisplatin in the treatment of patients with advanced non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods:One hundrend and twenty-one patients with advanced non-squamous NSCLC were enrolled in this study and all of these patients had been conifrmed with pathology or cytology. Among the 121 cases, 60 cases were male and 61 were female, the median age was 59 years, adnenocarcinoma in 113 patients and large cell carcinoma in 8 patients. Combination regimen: patients received pemetrexed 500 mg/m2 on day 1 and carboplatin 300 mg/m2 or cisplatin 70 mg/m2 on day 1 by intravenous infusion, administrated every 3 weeks for 2 to 6 cycles. All patients who received 2 or more cycles could be evaluated. Disease control rate (DCR) was the primary end point; secondary end points included progression-free survival (PFS), 1-year survival rate and safety.Results:There was 1 case with complete response (CR), 44 cases achieved partial response (PR), 50 had stable disease (SD) and 26 cases had progressive disease (PD) in the overall cases. ORR and DCR were 37.2% (45/121) and 78.5% (95/121), respectively. The median PFS time was 5.2 months and 1-year survival rate was 59.0%. In pemetrexed combined with carboplatin group, the ORR and DCRwere 38.3% (23/60) and 78.3% (47/60), respectively; The median PFS was 5.1 months (95%CI: 3.8-6.4 month) and 1-year survival rate was 55.2%. The patients treated with pemetrexed plus cisplatin, the ORR and DCR were 36.1% (22/61) and 78.7% (48/61), respectively. Median PFS was 6.2 months (95%CI: 4.3-8.1 month) and 1-year survival rate was 62.5%. There were no statistical differences between carboplatin/pemetrexed and cisplatin/pemetrexed for both ORR, DCR, PFS and 1-year survival rate (P>0.05). The major adverse effects were leukopenia, neutropenia, fatigue and gastrointestinal reaction.Conclusion:Pemetrexed plus platinum chemotherapy could be considered as the ifrst-line treatment option for advanced non-squamous NSCLC patients. Pemetrexed combined with carboplatin/ cisplatin regimen has efifcacy with mild toxicity and better tolerability.
