CaiF1, and to explore the activities of this substance. [Method] The antibacterial substances were separated and purified by Ethyl acetate extraction, macroporous adsorptive resin, silica gel chromatography and preparative high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and powdery mildew were taken as the indicating bacterial to study their activities. [Result] Antibacterial substances were purified and the stability analysis of the extracts from Streptomyces CaiF1 fermentation broth showed very stable at pH 2.0-pH 10.0, 100 ℃ and changed very little under UV treatment for 24 h. Inhibition rate of powdery mildew was 69.7%. [Conclusion] The purified antibacterial substances showed good stability, which provided theoretical foundation for their structural identifications and future applications.展开更多

Methods: Subjects comprised 94 patients admitted to a hospital or nursing home during the 5 years between April 2007 and April 2012 with central nervous symptoms. Serum SP levels were measured by enzyme immunoassay, and video endoscopy using a nasal endoscope in all subjects to objectively evaluate swallowing function. Results: Serum SP level was very similar in central nervous disease without dysphagia and controls without central nervous disease. Conversely, serum SP level was significantly lower in central nervous disease with dysphagia. When comparing underlying diseases, serum SP was significantly lower in Parkinson’s disease than in other disease groups (cerebrovascular disease, Alzheimer’s disease). Looking at changes in serum SP levels over time after disease onset, SP level was significantly low in subjects without dysphagia at the time of onset who went on to develop dysphagia during the disease course, whereas serum SP level tended to be higher in subjects with dysphagia at the time of onset and improvement during the disease course. With Parkinson’s disease and cerebrovascular disease, serum SP was low, particularly in subjects thought to have severe damage to the basal ganglia. Conclusion: Serum SP is generally thought to decrease in patients with cerebrovascular disease accompanied by dysphagia, but these results suggest that serum SP levels can be expected to improve to some extent, even if dysphagia is present at disease onset, assuming, for example, that some basal ganglia function remains. Positive therapeutic interventions such as swallowing rehabilitation should be promoted in such patients, with the goal of improving swallowing function.展开更多

Substance P participates in neural transmission in the spinal cord and plays an important role in regeneration and repair of nerve injury. OBJECTIVE： To investigate substance P mRNA expression in the anterior horn of the spinal cord following brachial plexus injury. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING： A molecular cell biology randomized controlled study was performed at the Department of Anatomy, Zhongshan Medical College, Sun Yat-sen University and the DaAn Gene Laboratory in May 2005. MATERIALS： A total of 29 adult male Sprague Dawley rats were randomly assigned to a control group （n = 5） and an injury group （n = 24）. METHODS： The injury group was divided into three subgroups. In subgroup A, the right seventh cervical vertebra （C7） anterior root was avulsed, and the residual nerve root at the distal end was removed. In subgroup B, the right C7 anterior root was avulsed, and the right C5 first thoracic vertebrae （T1） posterior root was incised. Thus afferent pathways of the posterior root that connected with the anterior horn motor neurons were blocked. In subgroup C, the right C7 anterior root was avulsed, and a right C56 hemisection was performed. Thus the descending fiber pathways of the cortex that connected with anterior horn motor neurons were blocked. In the control group, the C5-T1 vertebral plate was opened, and then the skin was sutured. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE： Substance P mRNA expression in the anterior horn of the spinal cord was quantified using fluorescent quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS： Substance P mRNA expression was low in the anterior horn of the rat spinal cord in the control group. Substance P mRNA expression in the anterior horn of the spinal cord was upregulated and was significantly higher in the injury group compared with the control group （P 〈 0.01）. Substance P mRNA expression was highest in subgroup B. CONCLUSION： Brachial plexus anterior root avulsion is responsible for increased substance P expression in the anterior horn of the rat spinal cord. Pathway disjunction in efferent fibers of the posterior root or cortex does not have an effect on substance P expression in the anterior horn of the spinal cord.展开更多

Methods: Immunohistochemical ABC method was used in the experiment. Results: Both syncytiotrophoblasts and cytotrophoblasts, stromal cells, capillary endothelium, lymphocytes in capillary cavity, and all blood islet in cells early human placenta showed SPR immunoreactivity in cytoplasm but with negative nuclei. Conclusion: SP produced by placental villi mediated by SPR might be responsible for the synthesis and release of placental hormone, the development of capillaries and the regulation of microcirculation in placental villi and fetal immune function.展开更多

Methods DRGs were dissected from 15-day-old embryonic Wistar rats. DRG neurons were dissociated and cultured, and then exposed to different concentrations of NGF （10 ng/mL, 30 ng/mL, or 100 ng/mL） for 72 h. The neurons cultured in media without NGF served as control. RT-PCR were used for detecting the mRNAs of SP and vanilloid receptor 1 （VR1） in the DRG neurons. The SP basal and capsaicin （100 nmol/L）-induced release in the culture were measured by radioimmunoassay （RIA）. Results SP mRNA and VR1 mRNA expression increased in primary cultured DRG neurons in a dose-dependent manner of NGF. Both basal release and capsaicin-evoked release of SP increased in NGF-treated DRG neurons compared with in control group. The capsaicin-evoked release of SP also increased in a dose-dependent manner of NGF. Conclusion NGF may promote both basal release and capsaicin-evoked release of SP. NGF might increase the sensitivity of nociceptors by increasing the SP mRNA or VR1 mRNA.展开更多
