固溶和时效处理时间对IN706合金组织与性能的影响

研究了增加标准的980℃1h固溶-825℃ 2.5 h稳定化-720℃8 h+620℃8 h时效的处理时间对IN706合金(/%:0.03C,41Ni,16Cr,1.6Ti,2.9Nb)组织和性能的影响。结果表明,固溶处理时间(1～3 h)的增加,主要影响合金的晶粒尺寸,从而影响合金的性能;随稳定化处理时间(2.5～5 h)的增加,η相析出增多,导致强化相形成元素减少,合金性能亦有所下降,并对合金塑性和韧性产生不良影响;增加一级(8～18 h)和二级(8～36 h)时效处理的时间,会促进γ"和γ’相的析出,并且其形态也会发生变化,进而对合金的性能产生影响,但固溶1～3 h,稳定化2.5～5 h,以及一级时效8～18 h,二级时效8～36 h时合金的力学性能指标均满足标准要求。     

Clinical spectrum of nonmenstrual toxic shock syndrome (TSS): comparison with menstrual TSS by multivariate discriminant analyses

1. The present experiments were undertaken in order to characterize further the apparently irreversible inhibition of the contraction of depolarized rat aorta caused by lacidipine, a 1,4-dihydropyridine calcium antagonist. 2. We studied the effect of lacidipine on contraction evoked by 100 mM KCl solution in rat aorta, treated by N omega-nitro-L-arginine (0.1 mM), an inhibitor of nitric oxide (NO) synthesis. We compared the effect of prolonged depolarization on lacidipine and (+)-isradipine inhibition and the reversal of this inhibition after washout in the absence of dihydropyridines. Assuming that the onset of lacidipine-evoked inhibition was a pseudo-first order association kinetics, we estimated the dissociation rate constant (k-1 = 0.031 min-1), the association rate constant (k1 = 2.70 x 10(8) M-1 min-1) and the dissociation constant (KD = k-1/k1 = 115 pM) which was close to the IC50 value in steady-state conditions (160 pM). 3. The inhibitory effects of lacidipine and (+)-isradipine on rat aorta contraction were reversibly enhanced after preincubation with the drug in a 40 mM KCl-solution. Washout with drug-free 40 mM K(+)-depolarizing solution reversed inhibition in the (+)-isradipine-treated preparations, but not in the lacidipine-treated ones. 4. Radioligand binding studies were performed with [3H]-lacidipine and [3H]-isradipine in microsomes from rat aorta and rat ileum. Both ligands bound to a homogeneous population of binding sites (for[3H]-lacidipine: KD = 23 +/- 2.6 pM, Bmax = 380 +/- 21 fmol mg-1 protein in membranes from aorta; KD =23 +/- 3.1 pM, Bmax = 790 +/- 60 fmol mg-1 protein in membranes from ileum; for [3H]-isradipine:KD = 140 +/- 46 pM, Bmax = 350 +/- 64 fmol mg-1 protein in membrane from aorta; KD = 68 +/- 14 pM,Bmax = 760 +/- 75 fmol mg-1 protein in membranes from ileum). After isotopic dilution, [3H]-lacidipine and [3H]-isradipine dissociated according to a monoexponential kinetics. In membranes from ileum, the calculated dissociation rate constants (kappa_ 1) were 0.0257 min-1 and 0.0595 min-1, for [3H]-lacidipine and[3H]-isradipine, respectively.5. The non specific binding of [3H]-lacidipine and [3H]-isradipine, was measured in intact rat aorta preparations incubated under the conditions of the functional experiments, in the presence of nifedipine(1 microM). After incubation with [3H]-lacidipine 77.6 +/- 1.9 pM for 2 h the concentration of drug in the tissue was 15.15 +/- 1.18 fmol mg-1 w.wt. and still amounted to 7.24 +/- 0.61 fmol mg-1 w.wt. after 3.5 h washout in drug-free solution. After incubation with [3H]-isradipine 47.2 +/- 0.4 pM for 2 h it was 2.26 +/-0.07 fmol mg-1 w.wt. and was undetectable after 3.5 h washout in a drug-free solution.6. It is concluded that lacidipine interacts reversibly with dihydropyridine binding sites and that the apparent irreversible inhibition of contraction in depolarized preparations could be related to a nonspecific binding in a tissue compartment different from the plasma membrane.     

Corticotropin releasing factor mRNA expression in the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus and the central nucleus of the amygdala is modulated by repeated acute stress in the immature rat

A new approach to the study of the interaction of amino acid side chains with photoreactive aryl azides was proposed. This approach was based on the drawing together of the reacting groups by the attachment of the reacting compounds to complementary oligonucleotides. Cystamine, histamine, and 1,6-hexamethylenediamine mimicking the cystine, histidine, and lysine residues, respectively, were attached to the 3'-terminal phosphate of the oligonucleotide GGTATCp through a phosphamide bond and used as the targets for photomodification. Derivatives of the oligonucleotide pGATACCAA with the fragment N3C6H4NH- attached directly to its 5'-end by a phosphamide bond or through the spacer -(CH2)nNH- (where n is 2, 4, and 6) were used as photoreagents. Their derivatives containing the same spacer and the N3C6F4CO-NH(CH2)3NH- or 2-N3,5-NO2-C6H3CO-NH(CH2)3NH- residues were also used. The duplexes were photomodified by irradiation with 300-350 nm wavelength light. The maximal yields of the photo-cross-linking were from 22 to 68%. The reagents containing p-azidoaniline residue were found to be the most effective toward the targets. The maximum yields of the photomodification products modeling the side chains of cysteine and lysine were found to vary from 40 to 67% and to depend on the length and the structure of the spacers used. The duplex with the target bearing the imidazole residue (the histidine model) manifested a yield decreased to 25%. This fact was in a good agreement with the data of computer modeling that indicated an unfavorable mutual displacement of the imidazole residue and the photoreactive group.

Calcium-mediated intracellular messengers modulate the serotonergic effects on axonal excitability

We carried out experiments to investigate the mechanisms of serotonin-induced axonal excitability changes using isolated dorsal columns from young (seven to 11-day-old) Long-Evan's hooded rats. Conducting action potentials were activated by submaximal (50%) and supramaximal constant current electrical stimuli and recorded with glass micropipette electrodes. In experiment 1, to study Ca(2+)-mediated mechanisms, we superfused the preparations with Ringer solutions containing varying Ca2+ concentrations. Following superfusion with Ca(2+)-free Ringer solution for 4 h, we tested initial responses to serotonin agonists. Studies then were repeated after preparations had been washed for 1 h with Ringer solution containing 1.5 mM Ca2+ and 1.5 mM Mg2+. After 4 h superfusion of Ca(2+)-free Ringer solution, quipazine (a serotonin2A agonist, 100 microM) did not induce significant axonal excitability changes (amplitude change of 1.4 +/- 1.3%, percentage of predrug control level, +/-S.D., n = 6). A 100 microM concentration of 8-hydroxy-dipropylaminotetralin (a serotonin1A agonist) reduced response amplitudes by 36.3 +/- 4.2% (+/-S.D., P < 0.0005, n = 7) and prolonged latencies by 22.3 +/- 4.3% (+/-S.D., P < 0.0005, n = 7). Application of serotonin (100 microM) decreased amplitudes by 6.6 +/- 5.0% (+/-S.D., P < 0.05, n = 6). Extracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+]e) was measured at various depths in the dorsal column with ion-selective microelectrodes. Four hours' superfusion with Ca(2+)-free Ringer solution reduced [Ca2+]e to less than 0.1 mM in dorsal columns. In 1.5 mM Ca2+ Ringer solution, quipazine increased the amplitudes by 38.3 +/- 5.8% (P < 0.0005, n = 6). Likewise, serotonin increased the amplitudes by 13.8 +/- 4.9% (P < 0.005, n = 6). In contrast however, 8-hydroxy-dipropylaminotetralin still reduced amplitudes by 35.0 +/- 6.4% (P < 0.0005, n = 7) and prolonged latencies by 24.1 +/- 4.5% (P < 0.0005, n = 7). In experiment 2, we investigated calcium-dependent and cAMP-mediated protein kinase signalling pathways to evaluate their role as intracellular messengers for serotonin2A receptor activation. Two protein kinase inhibitors, 50 microM H7 (an inhibitor of protein kinase C and c-AMP dependent protein kinase) and 100 microM D-sphingosine (an inhibitor of protein kinase A and C) effectively eliminated the excitatory effects of the serotonin2A agonist. 100 microM cadmium (a Ca2+ channel blocker) also blocked the effects of quipazine. Neither these protein kinase inhibitors nor cadmium alone affected action potential amplitudes. These results suggest that replacing Ca2+ with Mg2+ blocks the excitatory effects of quipazine but does not prevent the inhibitory effects of 8-hydroxy-dipropylaminotetralin, and calcium-mediated protein kinase mechanisms modulate axonal excitability changes induced by serotonin and its agonist.     

含锶钪2099型铝锂合金的晶间腐蚀和剥落腐蚀性能

采用维氏硬度计(HV)、金相显微镜(OM)和扫描电镜(SEM)显微分析技术,研究了一种锶钪复合微合金化2099型铝锂合金(其化学成分为:Al-2.57Cu-1.86Li-1.31Zn-0.420Mg-0.321Mn-0.0735Zr-0.0943Sr-0.0433Sc)的晶间腐蚀性能和剥落腐蚀性能。结果表明,该合金经均匀化退火处理(475℃×24 h)、热锻压变形加工处理(三次变形量均约为100%)、固溶处理(540℃×2 h)、冷水淬火(水温大约5℃)、T8时效处理(121℃×14 h+151℃×48 h)后,合金显微硬度值达到174.6 HV,比2024-T6合金(固溶处理500℃×2 h+时效处理191℃×12 h)高23.1%。合金具有良好的抗晶间腐蚀性能和抗剥落腐蚀性能,其抗腐蚀性能明显优于2024-T6合金。该合金Sr,Zr,Sc的复合微合金化作用(细化粗大第二相、抑制再结晶和晶粒长大),第二相分散、分布不连续,以及Zn的含量高,是合金抗腐蚀性能高的主要原因。研究结果还说明了微量复合添加对铝锂合金具有奇效微合金化作用的过渡族金属元素Sr,Sc,是得到抗腐蚀性能良好的铝锂合金的一种有效途径。     

Substance P-induced inward current in identified auditory efferent neurons in rat brain stem slices

The effects of substance P (SP) on whole cell currents were studied in neurons of the medial olivocochlear efferent system (MOCS) in the ventral nucleus of the trapezoid body (VNTB) of brain stem slices from neonatal rats. Each neuron was identified by retrograde labeling with Fast Blue injected into the cochlea. Bath application of SP (0.1-10 microM) reversibly induced an apparent inward current in 49 of 63 labeled neurons when voltage clamped at near resting voltages. This apparent inward current was consistent with the SP-induced membrane depolarization observed in current-clamp mode. The SP-induced change in current was dose dependent with a half-maximal response dose of 200 nM. It was mimicked by [Cys3,6, Tyr8, Pro9]-SP, a neurokinin (NK1) receptor selective agonist, whereas [Succinyl-Asp6, MePhe8]-SP 6-11 (Senktide), a NK3 receptor agonist, had no detectable effect. The SP effect was not blocked by 10(-6) M tetrodotoxin (TTX) and persisted when the perfusate contained 30 mM tetraethylammonium (TEA) or 100 microM Cd2+ or was in a 0-Ca solution. In a TTX-containing solution, SP caused a voltage-dependent decrease of membrane conductance, and the SP-evoked current reversed at a potential at around -105 mV. The predicted K+ equilibrium potential was -93.8 mV under the experimental conditions. The SP-induced inward current was attenuated by 66% when the perfusate contained 3 mM Cs+. We conclude that the apparent inward current is partly caused by SP decreasing an outward current normally maintained by the inward rectifier K+ channels in these cells. In the presence of Cs solution in the recording pipette and with a perfusate containing 3 mM Cs+, 0.1 mM Cd2+ and 10(-6) M TTX, a residual SP-induced inward current was observed at test voltages ranging from -120 to 40 mV. This subcomponent reversed its polarity at approximately 20 mV. This inward current was reduced substantially (but not abolished) when all NaCl in the external solution was replaced by TEA-Cl. The results indicate that SP also opens an unknown cation channel, which the available data suggests may be relatively nonselective. The results suggest that MOCS neurons are subject to modulation by SP, which depolarizes the cell membrane by decreasing the activity of inward rectifier K+ channels as well as concurrently activating a separate cation conductance. It also was found that in MOCS neurons responsive to both SP and norepinephrine, the norepinephrine effect was abolished by TTX, suggesting that an interneuronal population excited by norepinephrine converges selectively onto SP-sensitive MOCS neurons in the VNTB.     

Efficacy of moxidectin as a 1% injectable solution and a 0.1% oral drench against nasal bots, pulmonary and gastrointestinal nematodes in sheep

Thirty ewes, 3-10 years old, known to be naturally infected with internal parasites, were allocated to three homogeneous groups of ten ewes each based on faecal nematode egg counts. The following experimental treatments were administered on Day 0: (A) moxidectin 1% injectable solution at 0.2 mg kg-1 body weight; (B) moxidectin 0.1% oral drench solution at 0.2 mg kg-1 liveweight; (C) untreated control. Faecal samples were taken on Days -7, 0, 1, 2, 3, 7, 14, 21, 28 and 35 to obtain counts of nematode eggs. One-half of the ewes in each treatment group were slaughtered 14 days after dosing, while the remainder were slaughtered 35 days after treatment to count the numbers of nasal bots, pulmonary nematodes and gastrointestinal nematodes. Moxidectin 1% injectable solution and moxidectin 0.1% oral drench solution were highly effective against gastrointestinal nematodes and against a variable infection of Dictyocaulus filiaria. Moxidectin 1% injectable solution was effective against first stage larvae of Oestrus ovis, whereas moxidectin 0.1% oral drench was ineffective.     

Characterization of signal transduction events stimulated by 8-epi-prostaglandin(PG)F2 alpha in rat aortic rings

One of the most abundant F2 isoprostanes formed under pathological conditions is 8-epi-prostaglandin F2 alpha (8-epi-PGF2 alpha), a potent vasoconstrictor. The purpose of this study was to determine the signal transduction events initiated by 8-epi-PGF2 alpha-induced vasoconstriction. Isolated arterial rings from male Sprague-Dawley rats were suspended in tissue baths containing Krebs-Henseleit salt solution, stretched to optimal resting tension and stimulated. 8-epi-PGF2 alpha induced concentration-dependent contractions in pulmonary arteries (EC50: 7.7 +/- 2.1 microM; n = 3) and aortas (EC50: 0.9 +/- 0.1 microM; n = 4) which were blocked by the TXA2 receptor antagonists SQ29548, L657925 and L657926. The contractile response to 8-epi-PGF2 alpha was significantly (*p < 0.05; n = 4) diminished by: 1) indomethacin and ibuprofen; 2) Ca++ free media; 3) verapamil, a voltage gated Ca++ channel blocker; 4) flunarizine, a T-type Ca++ channel blocker; and 5) calphostin C, a protein kinase C inhibitor. These data suggest that the contractile response to 8-epi-PGF2 alpha is: 1) mediated via activation of TXA2 receptors; 2) partially dependent on the synthesis and release of other cyclooxygenase derived products; 3) dependent on an influx of extracellular Ca++ possibly via Ca++ channels; and 4) may be PKC dependent.     

Prevention of potential fracture between two implants using interlocking bipolar cut short GK nail and Enders nail

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the ocular toxicity of intravitreous octreotide. DESIGN: New Zealand white rabbits weighing approximately 2 kg were given 5 mg (group 1, two eyes), 2 mg (group 2, four eyes), 1 mg (group 3, four eyes), 0.5 mg (group 4, two eyes), 0.3 mg (group 5, two eyes) or 0.1 mg (group 7, two eyes) of octreotide acetate, two doses of 0.3 mg 1 week apart (group 6, four eyes) or 0.1 mL of balanced salt solution (group 8 [control group], two eyes). OUTCOME MEASURES: Findings on clinical examination and electroretinography, performed before and 10 days after injection, and on light microscopy. RESULTS: Cataracts developed in groups 1 and 2. No clinical changes were found in groups 3 to 8. Electroretinography showed various degrees of decrease in the b-wave amplitude in groups 1 and 2; the results were normal in groups 3 to 8. Histologic examination showed macrophage and monocyte infiltration in the vitreous and retina in group 1. No histologic change was seen in the eyes in groups 2 to 8. CONCLUSIONS: Octreotide injected intravitreally is safe at dosages of 1 mg or less.     

Effects of hypertonic sodium lactate dextran resuscitation in severely burned dogs

12 dogs with 35% TBSA third degree burns received HLD resuscitation (HLD group, n = 6) or LR resuscitation (LR group, n = 6). Fluid resuscitation started one hour postburn. The amount of fluid infused with HLD resuscitation was calculated by that after giving HLD 19.6 ml/kg in 3 hours and 6 ml/kg/% TBSA lactate Ringer's solution followed. The amount of fluid infused with LR resuscitation was calculated by 8 ml/kg/% TBSA lactate Ringer's solution. Infusion of lactated Ringer's solution in both groups was adjusted by maintaining urinary output 0.5-1 ml/kg/h. The volume of fluid infused in HLD group (5.05 +/- 1.11 ml/kg/% TBSA) was much less than that of LR group (10.03 +/- 1.30 ml/kg/%TBSA) (P < 0.01). There was no significant difference in urinary output, serum Na+ and albumin, and plasmacrystalloid osmolarity between two groups. Plasma level of MDA decreased after resuscitation with HLD, which (0.81 +/- 0.20 mmol/g Hb) was much lower than that (1.39 +/- 0.44 mmol/g Hb) of LR group 4 hours postburn (P < 0.05). Plasma SOD activity (7.22 +/- 0.68 u/g Hb) of HLD group were much higher than that of LR group (4.86 +/- 0.53 u/g Hb) 4 hours postburn (P < 0.05). HLD resuscitation could significant reduce the amount of fluid infused comparing with lactate Ringer's solution. HLD resuscitation could attenuate postburn damage to tissue induced by lipid peroxide by elevating plasma SOD activity.

固溶处理对超低碳奥氏体不锈钢00Cr24Ni13铸坯δ-铁素体转变的影响

研究了1000～1200℃ 1～3 h固溶、淬火或空冷对超低碳奥氏体不锈钢00Cr24Ni13(/%:≤0.02C、23～25Cr、13～14 Ni)200 mm×1 250 mm铸坯8铁素体转变的影响。结果表明,随固溶温度升高和保温时间延长铸坯中δ铁素体量减少;随固溶温度的升高,铸坯中的连续网状δ铁素体断开并且长大,空冷则会促使高温下长大的δ铁素体向小尺寸颗粒状组织转变;当铸坯试样在1 200℃保温3 h空冷后,网状δ铁素体完全转变成弥散分布的小于10μm的颗粒状铁素体组织,δ铁素体相比例也由14.3%降至7.3%。相对于颗粒状铁素体,网状δ铁素体的奥氏体-铁素体两相界面在轧制中更容易产生裂纹。

Mucosal ulceration in isolated amphibian stomachs in vitro. Roles of nutrient HC03- and endogenous prostaglandins

We examined the effects of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) on mucosal ulceration in isolated bullfrog stomachs and investigated the roles of endogenous prostaglandins (PGs) and nutrient HCO3- in the mucosal protection in vitro. Gastric sacs were prepared by separation from the muscle layer and incubation for 1-8 h in HCO3--Ringer's solution gassed with 95% 02/5% CO2 or PO3(-)4-Ringer's solution gassed with 100% 02 in the presence of histamine (1 x 10(-4) M). Under these conditions, multiple ulcers developed in the mucosa only when the gastric sacs were incubated in HCO3--free nutrient solution; both the number and severity of ulcers increased with time and reached a maximum after 6 h of incubation. Luminal pH was decreased because of stimulation of acid secretion by histamine, irrespective of whether the mucosa was bathed in Ringer's solution with or without HCO3-, while gastric potential difference was reduced only in the mucosa bathed in HCO3--free nutrient solution. 16,16-Dimethyl PGE2 added to the nutrient side significantly reduced the number of ulcers developed in the mucosa bathed in HCO3--free nutrient solution. In contrast, indomethacin and aspirin, but not salicylate, caused ulceration even in the mucosa bathed in HCO3--nutrient solution. Histamine-induced acid secretion was reduced by 16,16-dimethyl PGE2 but not affected by these NSAIDs. In conclusion, ulceration of the isolated gastric mucosa in the presence of acid depends upon either a deficiency of endogenous PGs or a lack of nutrient HCO3-/CO2.
