  OBJECTIVE To investigated whether acute subcu taneous administration of G.elegans alkaloids (eg, gelsemine,koumine, gelsevirine, gelsenicine) were capable of exerting anx iolytic and antidepressant effects in mouse models of these disor ders.METHODS We used two mouse models of anxiety (ele vated plus-maze and light-dark transition model), and two mouse models of depression (forced swim test and tail suspension test)to examine whether the G.elegans alkaloids are capable of atten uating anxiety-and depressive-like behaviors.RESULTS Gelsemine, koumine and gelsevirine exhibited potent anxiolytic effects in both the elevated plus-maze and the light-dark transi tion model.Gelsenicine, on the other hand, had no effect on the behavioural response in either of the anxiety models.None of the G.elegans alkaloids exerted antidepressant effects in the forced swim test and the tail suspension test.Importantly, none of the G.elegans alkaloids impaired spontaneous motor activities.CONCLUSION Gelsemine, koumine and gelsevirine might serve as potential candidates for the treatment of anxiety-related disorders in clinical trials with human patients.

目的 观察性激素对雌性大鼠复吸和共患精神症状的影响.方法 成年雌性SD大鼠去卵巢后采用FR1训练程序建立海洛因静脉自身给药行为,连续训练14 d后消退,进行复吸测试,其后应用强迫游泳,高台十字迷宫等分别测试动物的抑郁和焦虑样症状.结果 正常对照组和去卵巢组大鼠的自身给药行为如有效反应数和海洛因注射针数没有明显差异,线索诱导和海洛因诱导的复吸行为两组之间也没有显著性差异.在强迫游泳实验中海洛因自身给
目的 Neuregulin1(NRG1)在神经发育中起着重要的作用。遗传学研究表明NRG1及其受体ErbB4是精神分裂症相关的易感基因。我们的研究目的是易感基因NRG1在神经发育过程中的表达变化与精神分裂症发病机制的相关性。方法 本研究旨在利用精神分裂症的神经病理模型及子宫内胚胎电转实验模型,结合RNA干扰技术(RNAi)、分子生物学及行为学检测等手段,以精神分裂症主要涉及的脑区:前额叶皮层区(P
