1.Effects of electroacupuncture on hippocampal epileptic burst discharges induced by intracerebroventricular injection of kainic acid in the rat
Journal of Third Military Medical University 1983;0(03):-
Epilepsy induced by intracerebroventricular injection of kainic acid in the rat could be attenuated by electroacupuncture(EA)at the "Du Mo point" since EA resulted in a reduction of the frequency and amplitude of the hippocampal EEG especially in the 1st min after EA.No unsynchronization of the hippocampal EEG occurred before or after EA.The hippocampal unit discharges after intracerebroventricular injection of kainic acid were classified into positive units,negative units and indifferent units,The positive units were inhibited by EA while the negative units,on the contrary,were activated.The positive units(21%)and the indifferent units(33%)were converted into negative units by EA.At the same time,EA reduced the NSEB value and IBSF value of hippocampal epileptic burst discharges.On the basis of these findings,it is believed that the inhibition of the amplitude of hippocampal epileptic EEG by EA plays an important role of the antiepileptic action of EA,hippocampal negative units are one of the factors of antiepileptic action,and EA can regulate the intrinsic characteristics of epileptic neurones.

AIM: To investigate the possibility of transfecting siRNA into rabbit cervical cells in transformation zone by the method of solid phase in vivo and to verify the effectivity of siRNA transfection by modifying the permeability of the cervical epithelium. METHODS: A sense strand small-interference RNA (siRNA) for human papillomavirus type 16 (21 bp) was designed and labeled with Cy3. siRNA-Lipo2000-carbomer gum was prepared. Twelve rabbits were included in the study and divided into experimental group and control group. In order to modify the permeability of cervical epithelium, hypertonic saline solution at concentration of 200 mmol/L was used to infuse the cervix in the experimental rabbits for 10 min, and normal saline was used for the control animals. The siRNA-Lipo2000-carbomer gum was applied to the surface of the rabbit cervix. Twenty-four hours later, the rabbits were sacrificed, and the cervix was isolated, cut into 2 parts, one part was for rapid frozen sectioning and the efficiency of transfection was observed under fluorescence microscope, another part was prepared by paraffin embedding and sectioning, and the form of cervical histiocytes was observed. Twelve SCID mice with SiHa cell cervical tumor, divided into experimental group and control group, were also used in the study. The mice in experimental group were treated with siRNA-Lipo2000-carbomer gum for 7 d. The control mice were treated with Lipo2000-carbomer gum only. Five days later, the mice were sacrificed and the tumor was collected, and the HPV16-DNA was measured by PCR. RESULTS: (1) Red fluorescence (Cy3) in cervical epithelium was observed in all rabbits. However, no different effect of siRNA transfection was found between the ways of modifying the cervical epithelium permeability. (2) No abnormal change such as flare, swelling and ulcer at all cervical tissue was observed, the cervical cell form was normal. (3) The titer of HPV16-DNA was decreased significantly after siRNA transfection (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Transfection of siRNA into rabbit cervical epithelium in vivo is successful by using the method of solid phase and inhibits the processes of HPV-DNA, indicating that using RNAi is a practical way to treat HPV infection in human cercix and to decrease the incidence of cercical carcinoma.

Breast cancer is one of the most common malignant tumours in women. It threatens the health and life of women. The imaging technology of breast electrical impedance scanning based on the dielectric properties of breast tissues develops a new aspect of early detection and auxiliary diagnosis of the breast cancer. The dielectric properties of human breast tissues reflect the pathological and physiological state of breast tissues and the measurement of these properties serves as the basis for electrical impedance scanning(EIS) technology. In this paper, the measurements and results of dielectric properties of human breast tissues are discussed, and the problems of measurement and the application perspective of the EIS are also explored.

An analytical method was developed for the determination of unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine ( UDMH ) in soil samples by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry with the pretreatment of alkaline distillation and ultrasonic derivatization. After pretreated by the alkaline distillation, the quantitative analysis of UDMH was conducted in selected ion monitoring ( SIM ) mode by using salicylaldehyde as derivatization reagent and ultrasonic to accelerate the derivative reaction. The characteristic ion of the derivative product named salicylaldehyde dimethylhydrazone was m/z 164 . Impact factors including types of the alkaline distillation and the derivative conditions with ultrasonic were investigated. The conditions of derivatization were optimized. Under the optimal conditions, linear range of the method was 0. 4-30 mg/L. The limit of detection (LOD, S/N=3) was 0. 0078 mg/kg. The method was used to detect total UDMH in real soil samples with known concentration. The recoveries ranged from 76% to 108% with relative standard deviations ( RSD) of 12%-19% at different spiked concentration levels from 10 mg/kg to 100 mg/kg. In comparison with the methods of spectrophotometry and Soxhlet extraction-ultrasonic derivatization, this method had lower detection limit, and could be used to detect total UDMH in soil samples.
