The antidepressant effects of the N-Isosuccinyl-dichlorocinnamo-ylamide ( 7903 ) , an analogue of piperine, upon 5 animal models were studied. The 7903 was found to have antidepressant effects on the models with doses less than TD50. The 7903 with the single dose, which did not increase the spontaneous motor activity of animals, could significantly decrease the duration of immobility of mice and rats in the forced-swimming test and that of mice in the tail-suspension test. The duration of the longest permanent immobility indaced by cornea electro-stimulation in mice was also decreased with the chronic administration ( 2 weeks ) of the 7903. And the hypothermia induced by reserpine could be antagonized by the 7903.

Male Wistar rats were used to investigate the ultrastructure of the fibroblasts. The animals were sacrified at several time intervals after the collodion tubules were embedded subscutaneously on the backs, and the materials taken from the connective tissues around the collodion tubules were observed by light and electron microscopy. Six basic types of fibroblasts (little-differentiated fibroblast, young fibroblast, collagenoblast, myofibroblast, fibroclast and fibrocyte) were studied ultrastructurally. In each of its three phases (prophase, metaphase and telophase), the collagenoblast showed different functional conditions. The fibroclasts contain two subtypes, the phagocytosis and the lysosome subtypes, the former phagocytosing the collagen fibrils with a characteristic crossing banding and the latter phagocytosing the collagen fibrils which had been cleaved by the collagenase. The fibrocytes consist probably of two subtypes, the resting and aging subtypes. The observations demonstrate that the fibroblasts were derived from undifferentiated cells around capillaries and the little-differentiated fibroblasts are the youngest cell type of all fibroblasts. The collagenoblasts and fibroclasts are the main cells responsible for collagen biosynthesis and collagen degradation respectively. In the present paper a new concept, the "The Fibroblast System", has been proposed, which includes the six basic types of fibroblasts and there are not only structural but also functional relationships among them.

The influences of the N -Isosuccinyl - dichloro - cinnamoylamide (7903) on the NA and 5 -HT systems in the brain were studied. Acute administration of 7903 could significantly enhance the level of NA and 5 -HT in mice brain and cortex of rats, and the level of 5 -HT in the hyporthalamus of rats was tending to be enhanced. However, chronic administration of 7903 (two weeks ) could decrease the level of NA and the ra-tio of 5-HIAA/5-HT in the cortex of rats; Chronic administration of 7903 could also decrease the turnover of NA and 5- HT in mice brain, but had no effects on the special binding of ? - receptor to 3-H - DHA and that of 5 -HT receptor to H - ketanserine in the cortex of rats.

AIM: To study the synergic antitumor effect of verapamil (VPL) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF?). METHODS: In the presence of verapamil or verapami plus tumor necrosis factor, the proliferation, the expressions of c-myc and PCNA, the mean vessel density(MVD)of human hepatoma cell line(HepG 2) were studied in vivo and in vitro. RESULTS: It was demonstrated that the growth of HepG 2 was inhibited remarkably, under the presence of verapamil and TNF? simutaneously, the expressions of c-myc , PCNA and the MVD were also decreased. CONCLUSION: The calcium channel blocker can inhibit the proliferation of tumor and has a remarkable synergy with TNF?. [

BACKGROUND: How to lessen neuronal necrosis to promote recovery of nerve function after ischemic cerebral injury? Cerebral ischemic preconditioning (IP) alleviates ischemic cerebral injury caused by re-ischemia to certain extent. It has been verified that sodium ferulate can lessen the incidence of neuron apoptosis after cerebral ischemia. Whether does sodium ferulate enhance the nerve protection of IP brain to not?OBJECTIVE: To explore the protection of sodium ferulate allied with IP in cerebral ischemic-reperfusion injury.DESIGN: Randomized controlled animal experiment was designed.SETTING: Neurological Surgery Department of 2nd Affiliated Hospital of Jiangxi Medical College, Department of Physiology of Jiangxi Medical College, Institute of Urinary Surgery of Jiangxi Medical College.MATERIALS: The experiment was perforned in Laboratory Room of Neurological Surgery Department of 2nd affiliated Hospital of Jiangxi Medical College from May 2001 to April 2002, in which, 85 Wistar male rats were employed, mass weighted varied from 250-300 g.METHODS: The rats were randomized into 4 groups: ① The control without ischemia (10 rats): Vertebral artery was ligatured bilaterally and common carotid artery was not clipped bilaterally. ② The control with ischemia (25 rats): Vertebral artery was ligatured bilaterally for 48 hours and common carotid artery was clipped for 10 minutes. ③ IP group (25rats): Vertebral artery was ligatured bilaterally for 48 hours and common carotid artery was clipped for 2 minutes, and 24 hours later, the common carotid artery was clipped again for another 10 minutes. ④ Sodium ferulate allied with IP group (Allied group) (24 rats): After IP, the common carotid artery was clipped again for 30 minutes and sodium ferulate (200 mg/kg)was injected intravenously from tail. The control without ischemia was subdivided into two groups of 2 days and 7 days after reperfusion respectively (5 rats for each one). The control with ischemia, IP group and allied group were subdivided into 5 groups of 6 bours, 12 hours, 24 hours,2 days and 7 days after reperfusion successively (5 rats for each one).The rats were sacrificed to collect brains at phase spots in each group.Coronary brain slice was collected 2.2 mm posterior to the optic chiasm and the effects of allied with was observed on neuron count and apoptotic cell count in cortex and hippocampal CA1 in cerebral ischemia reperfusion.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Neuron count and apoptotic cell count in cortex and hippocampal CA1.RESULTS: Totally 85 experimental rats all entered result analysis. ①Neuron count in cerebral cortex and hippocampal CA1: On the 7th day after ischemia, the counts in IP group and allied group were higher than ischemia control (268±8.5, 244±12.5, 135±5.6, P ＜ 0.01). ② Count of TUNEL positive cell in cerebral cortex and hippocampal CA1: The count in allied group was lower than that in IP group and ischemia control (12 hours:1.2±0.8, 15.5±2.1, 39.8±3.9; 24 hours: 1.8±1.6, 39.3±11.8, 191.3±19.1;2 days: 2.8±1.2, 68.3±13.6, 328.4±24.0, P ＜ 0.01), and that in IP group was lower than ischemic control (P ＜ 0.01).CONCLUSION: IP lessens apoptotic neuron count in ischemic region.Sodium ferulate allied with IP further intensifies such effect and provides the protection of ischemic reperfusion injury of brain.
