尼氟灭酸对CCI模型鼠DRG神经元GABA介导膜电流的影响

为观察尼氟灭酸(NFA)对坐骨神经慢性压迫损伤(CCI)所导致的神经病理性痛大鼠的背根神经节(dorsal root ganglion,DRG)神经元上GABAA受体激活电流的影响,探讨尼氟灭酸在神经病理性疼痛时在脊髓水平的作用及可能机制。采用如下方法:(1)制作CCI模型。(2)运用热板实验检测CCI组、假手术组术侧下肢热缩足反射潜伏期的变化。(3)运用全细胞膜片钳技术记录CCI模型组术侧、假手术组术侧、正常组DRG神经元上GABAA受体激活电流的幅度。(4)记录尼氟灭酸对正常组和CCI组术侧DRG神经元上GABAA受体激活电流的调节作用。结果显示,(1)CCI组术侧下肢热缩足反射潜伏期明显缩短。(2)GABA(1~1000μmol/L)可以使DRG神经元产生浓度依赖的内向电流(P0.05,n=10)。(3)CCI组1~100μmol/L GABA激活电流幅值显著小于假手术组和正常对照组(P0.01,n=6)。假手术组和正常对照组GABA电流差异无统计学意义。(4)NFA(1~100μmol/L)对正常组、CCI组的DRG神经元上GABA激活的电流均有抑制作用,该抑制作用具有浓度依赖性,且正常组的抑制作用更明显(P0.01,n=5)。由此可知,NFA对CCI模型大鼠DRG神经元GABA激活电流的抑制作用相比较正常组有所减弱,这可能是由于CCI模型的DRG神经元上钙激活氯通道的数量增加。     

大鼠坐骨神经切断后经皮低频高强度电刺激相应脊髓节段中GAP-43表达的变化

目的探讨成年Wister大鼠在坐骨神经切断后GAP-43于相应脊髓节段前角运动神经元内的表达变化.方法选取健康成年雄性Wister大鼠60只,将坐骨神经切断,随机分为实验组和对照组,实验组给予经皮低频高强度电刺激,分别于术后1,2,4,8,12,16周处死,取其L4~L6脊髓,利用免疫组织化学技术检测GAP-43在相应脊髓节段中的表达变化,并利用影像分析系统进行统计学分析.结果对照组:1周时前角细胞胞体内GAP-43有明显表达,4周时达到高峰,5~8周时逐渐下调,9~16周时GAP-43在前角细胞胞体内中仍有少量表达,并呈弱阳性.实验组:1周时前角细胞胞体内GAP-43有明显表达,2周时达到高峰,且在4~16周时在神经元中仍有表达,并呈阳性.结论坐骨神经切断可导致成年大鼠相应脊髓节段中前角运动神经元GAP-43表达明显增加,可证明在周围神经损伤后神经元的再生能力增强,但时效很短.而给予低频高强度电刺激疗法后,GAP-43的表达在时长和量上都有明显增加.     

局灶性脑缺血再灌注损伤神经细胞凋亡的研究

目的研究局灶性脑缺血再灌注损伤后神经细胞凋亡及其大鼠脑组织不同时间病理学改变情况.方法随机选取66只成年Wistatr大鼠,按照随机数字法分3组,对照组(假手术组,n=6)、观察1组(脑缺血组,n=24)、观察2组(脑缺血再灌注组,n=36).采用线栓法制造大鼠局灶性脑缺血再灌注模型,手术后HE染色,并分别采用TUNEL法和电镜观察大鼠缺血灌注损伤后神经元凋亡情况和细胞凋亡形态的变化.结果大鼠缺血再灌注后0~63 h时其神经功能损伤最为严重,伴随时间的延长逐渐能得到轻微缓解和改善,再灌注24 h后神经功能明显好转,之后再次出现加重的趋势.研究发现:再灌注后神经元会出现凋亡,TUNEL阳性细胞集中在灌注后病灶中心的边缘区域以及皮层区.结论线栓法制备动物脑组织缺血灌注模型能有效用于脑组织缺血再灌注后的临床分析,局灶区的神经元以凋亡、坏死为主,其中轻度脑缺血主要以神经凋亡为主,中重度缺血主要以坏死为主.     

Vacancy‐Engineered Nanoceria: Enzyme Mimetic Hotspots for the Degradation of Nerve Agents

Organophosphorus‐based nerve agents, such as paraoxon, parathion, and malathion, inhibit acetylcholinesterase, which results in paralysis, respiratory failure, and death. Bacteria are known to use the enzyme phosphotriesterase (PTE) to break down these compounds. In this work, we designed vacancy‐engineered nanoceria (VE CeO₂ NPs) as PTE mimetic hotspots for the rapid degradation of nerve agents. We observed that the hydrolytic effect of the nanomaterial is due to the synergistic activity between both Ce³⁺ and Ce⁴⁺ ions located in the active site‐like hotspots. Furthermore, the catalysis by nanoceria overcomes the product inhibition generally observed for PTE and small molecule‐based PTE mimetics.     

Wireless Hazard Badges to Detect Nerve‐Agent Simulants

Human exposure to hazardous chemicals can have adverse short‐ and long‐term health effects. In this Communication, we have developed a single‐use wearable hazard badge that dosimetrically detects diethylchlorophosphate (DCP), a model organophosphorous cholinesterase inhibitor simulant. Improved chemically actuated resonant devices (CARDs) are fabricated in a single step and unambiguously relate changes in chemiresistance to a wireless readout. To provide selective and readily manufacturable sensor elements for this platform, we developed an ionic‐liquid‐mediated single walled carbon nanotube based chemidosimetric scheme with DCP limits of detection of 28 ppb. As a practical demonstration, an 8 h workday time weighted average equivalent exposure of 10 ppb DCP effects an irreversible change in smartphone readout.     

Detection of Contaminants of High Environmental Impact by Means of Fluorogenic Probes

This personal account describes our contribution to the design of selective fluorogenic probes for contaminants of high environmental impact. For this purpose, we have developed a new family of highly versatile fluorogenic reagents that were able to show large differences in their fluorescence in the presence of selected analytes. They were used in the preparation of fluorogenic probes for the detection of contaminants of high environmental impact which currently have no good solutions: phosphorylating agents, such as chemical weapons; methyl mercury(II); the cyanide anion; amino‐acid metabolites, such as doping substances; and biogenic amine mimics, such as drugs of abuse and recreational drugs. The development of new materials for specific sensing was achieved by anchoring selected probes to silica nanomaterials, suitable for the selective detection of organic analytes in water for immediate application to toxicological or environmental purposes.
