Chinese Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology 2001;0(02):-
Objective To investigate the effects of mifepristone on the ultrastructure of Hofbauer cells in human early pregnant placenta. Methods Twenty 6-9 week pregnant women with indications of pregnancy termination were recruited and randomlied to mifepristone (n=10) and D & C group (n=10).Villi were collected and studied with transmission electron microscope. Results In comparison with the control group,the ultrastructure of Hofbauer cells of mifepristone group showed the following changes: the cells were markedly edematous. The number of cytoplasmic processes of Hofbauer cells deceased obviously. In the cytoplasm of Hofbauer cells,the size of vacuoles enlarged and of mitochondrias minimized.Rough endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi complex were under-developed.Lysosomes were rare.The nuclei enlarged and showed irregular shape. Conclusions Mifepristone may change the phagocytosis'water and electrolyte transportation and immunological function of Hofbauer cells by influencing the ultrastructure of the Hofbauer cells.Therefore it can influence the development of pregnancy.

Objective To investigate the effect of propofol on the expression of c-fos protein and c-fos mRNA in hippocampus during global cerebral ischemia-reperfusion in rats. Methods Forty male Wistar rats weighing 250-320 g were randomly allocated to one of five groups: group A received sham operation ( n = 8); group B received ischemia-reperfusion (I-R n = 8); group C received intraperitoneal propofol 50 mg?kg-1(C1 n = 8) or 100 mg@kg-1(C2 n = 8) or 150 mg2kg-1(C3 n = 8) 10 min before I-R. The animals were anesthetized with intraperitoneal pentobarbital 40 mg?kg-1.Vertebral arteries were surgically exposed and permanently occluded by coagulation. Bilateral common carotid arteries were exposed. 4-0 silk suture was placed around the arteries. Global cerebral ischemia was induced by lighting the suture for 10 min which was then loosened for reperfusion. At the end of 60 min reperfusion the animals were decapitated on ice and brain was immediately removed. Different brain tissues were either kept in liquid nitrogen ( - 80℃) or fixed in 10% formalin. The changes in c-fos protein in brain was evaluated by immuno-histochemical methods and c-fos mRNA expression in hippocampus was detected using semiquantitative RT-PCR technique.Results The c-fos expression was minimal in sham operation group. I-R induced significant increase in the expression of c-fos protein and c-fos mRNA and propofol significantly inhibited the increase in c-fos expression induced by I-R. The levels of c-fos expression were higher in group C1 than that in group C2 (P 0.05) . Conclusion The study shows that propofol can significantly inhibit expression of c-fos protein and c-fos mRNA induced by global cerebral I-R.

Adenosine receptors (AR) play an important role in the regulation processes for body temperature and vigilance states. During our previous studies, we noticed that aminophylline (a non-selective, blood-brain-barrier penetrably AR antagonist) could attenuate the effects of YZG-330 [(2R,3S,4R,5R)-2-(hydroxymethyl-5-(6-(((R)-1-phenylpropyl)amino)-9H-purin-9-yl)tetrahydrofuran-3, 4-diol] on lowering the body temperature. Hereby, we focused ourselves on the character of thermal regulation effect of YZG-330 in mice and tried to specify the receptor subtype via giving typical adenosine receptor antagonists. The results showed that both of the magnitude and lasting time of the effect that YZG-330 played on decreasing body temperature are in a dose-dependent manner: within the next 3 hour after intragastric administration (ig) of 0.25, 1 or 4 mg . kg-1 YZG-330, the extreme values on body temperature decreasing were (1.2 ± 0.3) °C, (3.6 ± 0.4) °C (P<0.001) and (7.4±0.5) °C (P<0.001), separately; whereas the duration that body temperature below 34 °C were 0, (10±5) and (153±4) min, separately. Adenosine A1 receptor (A1R) antagonist (DPCPX) could effectively reverse YZG-330's effect on decreasing body temperature, with intraperitoneal administration of DPCPX (5 mg . kg-1) 20 min prior than YZG-330 (4 mg.kg-1, ig), the extreme value on body temperature decreasing was (3.5 ± 0.7) °C (P<0.001), the duration that body temperature below 34 °C was (8±6) min (P<0.001). However, adenosine A2a receptor antagonist, SCH-58261, did not show any influence on the effects of YZG-330 at all. Combined with the fact that 8-SPT (a non-selective, blood-brain-barrier impenetrably AR antagonist) did not reverse the effect of YZG-330, we come to the conclusion that central-adenosine A, receptor plays a significant role on the thermal regulation effect of YZG-330.
