Journal of Huazhong University of Science and Technology (Medical Sciences) 2012;32(6):793-7
In normal rat forebrain, the NR1/NR2A and NR1/NR2B dimmers are the main constitutional forms of NMDA receptors. The present study was carried out to determine the functional properties of the heteromeric NMDA receptor subunits and their inhibition by bis(7)-tacrine (B7T). Rat NR1, NR2A and NR2B cDNAs were transfected into human embryonic kidney 293 cells (HEK-293). The inhibition of NMDA-activated currents by B7T was detected in HEK-293 cell expressing NR1/NR2A or NR1/NR2B receptors by using whole-cell patch-clamp techniques. The results showed that in HEK-293 cells expressing NR1/NR2A receptor, 1 μmol/L B7T inhibited 30 μmol/L NMDA- and 1000 μmol/L NMDA-activated steady-state currents by 46% and 40%, respectively (P>0.05; n=5), suggesting that the inhibition of B7T on NR1/NR2A receptor doesn't depend on NMDA concentration, which is consistent with a non-competitive mechanism of inhibition. But for the NR1/NR2B receptor, 1 μmol/L B7T inhibited 30 μmol/L NMDA- and 1000 μmol/L NMDA-activated steady-state currents by 61% and 13%, respectively (P<0.05; n=6), showing that B7T appears to be competitive with NMDA. In addition, simultaneous application of 1 μmol/L B7T and 1000 μmol/L NMDA produced a moderate inhibition of peak NMDA-activated current, followed by a gradual decline of the current to a steady state. However, the gradual onset of inhibition produced by B7T applied simultaneously with NMDA was eliminated when B7T was given 5 s before NMDA. These results suggested that B7T inhibition of NMDA current mediated by NR1/NR2B receptor was slow onset, and it did not depend on the presence of the agonist. With holding potentials ranging from -50 to +50 mV, the B7T inhibition rate of NMDA currents didn't change significantly, and neither did the reversal potential. We are led to conclude that the NR1/NR2B recombinant receptor can serve as a very useful model for studying the molecular mechanism of NMDA receptor inhibition by B7T.

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) with flexible bone cement injector through unilateral puncture. Method Unilateral puncture line PVP treatment for thoracolumbar vertebral compression fracture was conducted in 78 patients, which was divided into observation group and control group according to the use of different equipment. The flexible bone cement injector was used in 36 cases of observation group, which injected the bone cement into three places at the vertebral body. The ordinary straight bone cement injector was applied in the 42 cases of the control group. The operation time, the time of radiation exposure, and the amount of bone cement injection were recorded, and the leakage of bone cement was observed. The visual analogue scale (VAS), relative vertebral height and Cobb angle were recorded at 1 week, 1 and 2 years follow-up. The time of operation, the time of radiation exposure, the amount of bone cement injection, the incidence of bone cement leakage, VAS, relative height of vertebral body and Cobb angle were compared between the two groups using independent samples t test orχ2 test. Result All patients in the two groups were successfully treated by surgery. There were no significant differences between the observation group and the control group in the operation time and the time of radiation exposure and the incidence of bone cement leakage (P>0.05). The injection amounts of bone cement in the observation group and the control group were (5.6 ± 0.7) and (3.2 ± 0.6) ml, with statistically significant difference (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in VAS score, relative vertebral height and Cobb angle between the two groups at 1 week after operation (P>0.05). At 1 year and 2 years after operation, the differences of the above indexes between the two groups were significantly different (P<0.05), with the observation group being superior to the control group. Conclusions Application of flexible bone cement injector for PVP operation is safe and feasible. Compared with the traditional straight bone cement injector, the use of flexible bone cement injector will not increase the operation time, radiation exposure time and the incidence of bone cement leakage but will improve the long-term effect.

Objective To analyze the clinical and pathological features of lipid storage myopathy (LSM) caused by primary carnitine deficiency (CD).Methods The clinical data of 4 cases of possible LSM caused by primary CD were analyzed retorspectively.Results The clinical features of the 4 patients were subacute or chronic onset, proximal muscle weakness and exercise intolerance. Elevated levels of creatases were measured in serum and myogenic damage was found by EMG examination. Frozen sections of muscle biopsy samples showed many fibers contained numerous vacuoles which was stained by oil red O. No ragged red fiber (RRF) was seen in MGT stain. Type I fibers were more severely affected. In electron microscopy, the prominent abnormality was the presence of excessive amounts of fatty droplets in muscle fibers and subsarcolemmal regions with mild increased mitochondria.Treatment with glucocorticoid and energy supplement had been clinically beneficial. Conclusions Fatigue and muscle weakness are prominent manifestations in LSM caused by primary CD. The main changes are accumulation of lipid droplets in muscle specimen without prominent abnormality in structure in mitochondria. Good clinic effect may be caused by therapy with glucocorticoid.
