Chinese Journal of Behavioral Medicine and Brain Science 2001;10(1):11-12
Objective To investigate the the effect and interaction of morphine dependence model and naloxone doses on withdrawal intensity. Methods To observe the withdrawal signs and weight loss in two kinds of morphine dependent rats after the precipitating by naloxone of different doses an devaluate the withdrawal intensity.Results Morphine dependence were successfully induced in two ways.There was no significant difference of withdrawal intensity in five-day model(total morphine dose 380mg.kg-1) after precipitating by naloxone of 2mg.kg-1 and 4mg.kg-1(P>0.05). Withdrawal intensity of twelve-day model(total morphine dose 1365mg.kg-1)increased significantly with the increase of naloxone dose(P<0.01),but it was more intensive significantly than five-day model only after 4mg.kg-1 dose of naloxone. Conclusion Appropriate method should be used to induce morphine dependence and these experimental factors should be combined in assessment of withdrawal intensity.

Objective To investigate the metabolic rules of surfactant protein A and D(SP- A,SP- D )in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(BALF)in human fetal lungs during gestational ages. Methods BALF with 30 mL saline was performed on clinically collected human fetus with induction of labor by water- bag Their BALF was respectively retrieved [total retrieval rate(85. 6% ? 13 1)% ]for analysis of protein content. The BALF SP - A and SP - D from fetus of various gestational ages or newboms were detected by RPHA and ELISA. Results The total protein in BALF gradually increased since 10th week to newborn peak during lung development. And SP - A and SP D were respectively updated from(0.34 ?0.07 ) ,(0.05?0.01) ng/L to newborn climax[ (6 42 ? 0 36),(1.22 ? 0 13)ng/L] .Conclusions The protein in BALF gradually increases with fetal growth and lung development. SP-A and SP- D may reach prenatal climax and become the main indicator of newborn lung maturity.

Objective To assess the relationship between GABA_(B) receptor in medulla and trigeminal neuralgia on rats. Methods Twelve SD rats were randomly divided into 4 groups,3 for each group.Group A and B were surgical groups,while Group C and D were sham surgical ones.In the surgical group,right unilateral chronical constriction injury(CCI) of rats was produced by placing loose chromic gut ligature around the infraorbital nerve(ION).In the sham surgical group,the ION was only exposed using the same procedure but not ligated.Mechanical response threshold was observed before operation and 3,6,9,12 and 15 days after operation.Medullas of rats in group A and B were taken to measure the quantity of GABA_(B) receptor by real-time PCR 9 days after operation,and medullas of rats in group C and D were done 15 days after operation. Results Compared with the sham surgical group,an allodynia to mechanical stimulation on the territory of ligated ION was found from the ninth to fifteenth day after operation in surgical group(P

Objective To study the synthesis and degradation of collagen at the transcription level during liver fibrosis in rabbits with schistosomiasis japonica. Methods New Zealand rabbits infected with Schistosoma japonicum cercariae were served as animal models of liver fibrosis. The liver specimens were collected through operations at 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 20, 24 and 28 weeks after infection. TypeⅠcollagen, type Ⅲ collagen, type Ⅳ collagen, MMP\|1 and MMP\|9 mRNA levels of liver tissue were detected by RT\|PCR plus dot blotting, and the size of egg granulomas and the degree of liver fibrosis were measured by histopathological examinations. Results TypeⅠcollagen, type Ⅲ collagen, type Ⅳ collagen, MMP\|1 and MMP\|9 mRNA levels increased simultaneously in the early stage after the infection, mostly reaching their peaks at 10 weeks after infection. Compared with normal controls, type Ⅰ collagen, type Ⅲ collagen, type Ⅳ collagen, MMP\|1 and MMP\|9 mRNA levels increased by 12\^0 , 11\^0 , 6\^6 , 10\^0 and 11\^0\|fold, respectively, coinciding with the changes of egg granulomas. Thereafter, both collagen and collagenase mRNA levels decreased. TypesⅠ, Ⅲ and Ⅳ collagen mRNA levels declined to 2\|fold to 3\|fold compared with normal controls ( P 0\^05) at 28 weeks. This study showed that the synthesis and degradation of collagen remained dynamic balance in the early stage of schistosomiasis, while in the later stage the metabolism of collagen synthesis was higher than that of collagen degradation. Conclusion It was confirmed at the transcription level that when the metabolism of collagen synthesis was higher than that of collagen degradation in rabbits with schistosomiasis japonica, liver fibrosis might be produced.

Background and purpose:The incidence of hepatoma is high. The outcome of treatment on hepatoma is poor.So we investigated the effect and mechanism of a selective cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor celecoxib on the proliferation and apoptosis of SMMC-7721 hepatoma cell line. Methods:MTT assay was used to study the inhibitive effect of celecoxib on the growth of SMMC-7721 hepatoma cell. The effect of celecoxib on cell cycle and apoptosis on cells was studied by flow cytometry(FCM).Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was used to display the morphological change of the SMMC-7721 hepatoma cell . The biochemical character of apoptosis was viewed on the agarose gel electrophoresis.The expression of bax gene and bcl-2 gene were measured by immunohistochemistry.Results:The SMMC-7721 cells were cultured in media that contained 25,50,75,100 ?mol/L celecoxib,by means of MTT, the inhibition rate was(15?3)%,(34.6?2.4)%,56.8?1.0)%,(86.2?0.4)% respectively after 24 hours; but the inhibition rate was (33.4?0.7)%,(66.7?1.8)%,(76.1?2.4)%,(97.3?0.8)% respectively after 48 hours(P

Objective To evaluate the clinical effect of the enteral nutrient(Pediasure) on making improvements in nutritional status of children with anorexia.Methods Thirty children were treated with pediasure for 2 months, twice a day, and height(Ht),weight(Wt),AG,TSF,SSF,ASF,RBC,Hb were measured before and after treatment and their appetites,alimentary canal reactions were recorded.Results Compared with the effects after 2 months, the average Ht,Wt,AG,SF all increased, and there was significant difference between pretreatment and after treatment(P0.05). All of the 30 children had no adverse reactions during treatment.Twenty-two children (73.33%) had better appetites and increased the amount of eating after treatment.Conclusion The study suggests that pediasure may be safely used in the treatment of children′s anorexia and effectively improve patients′ nutrition without adverse reactions.
