為什麼人夜晚睡覺不會口渴 The body's internal clock helps to regulate a water-storing hormone so that nightly dehydration or trips to the toilet are not the norm, research suggests.
In an article published in Nature Neuroscience today, neurophysiologists Eric Trudel and Charles Bourque at the Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre in Montreal, Canada, propose a mechanism by which the body's circadian system, or internal clock, controls water regulation1. By allowing cells that sense water levels to activate cells that release vasopressin, a hormone that instructs the body to store water, the circadian system keeps the body hydrated ring sleep.
"We've known for years that there's a rhythm of vasopressin that gets high when you're sleeping. But no one knew how that occurred. And this group identified a very concrete physiological mechanism of how it occurs," says Christopher Colwell, a neuroscientist who studies sleep and circadian rhythms at the David Geffen School of Medicine at the University of California, Los Angeles.
The body regulates its water content mainly by balancing water intake through thirst with water loss through urine proction. People don't drink ring sleep, so the body has to minimize water loss to remain sufficiently hydrated. Scientists knew that low water levels excite a group of cells called osmosensory neurons, which direct another set of neurons to release vasopressin into the bloodstream. Vasopressin levels increase ring sleep; clock neurons, meanwhile, get quieter.
Trudel and Bourque tested the idea that lower clock-neuron activity might allow osmosensory neurons to more easily activate vasopressin-releasing neurons, which would mean more water retention and less urine proction ring sleep.
To do this, they isolated thin slices of rat brain containing intact sensory, vasopressin-releasing and clock neurons. Even when removed from the brain, clock neurons continue to mark time.
The o then stimulated the sensory neurons and recorded any electrical activity in the vasopressin-releasing neurons to monitor communication between the two cell groups. The researchers then moved on to look at the effect of the clock cells on this pathway. When they did not activate the clock cells ring the 'sleep' part of their cycle, it was easier for the sensory cells to communicate with vasopressin-releasing cells. Conversely, when they activated the clock cells, this communication decreased markedly.
The results suggest that clock cells function as a dimmer switch for water control. When their activity is high, they prevent sensory cells from instructing secretory cells to release vasopressin. Then, when clock cells are less active, sensory cells can easily instruct secretory cells to release vasopressin, ensuring that the body holds on to its water reserves.
Colwell points out that the study was done in rats, which are nocturnal. Although the vasopressin cycle and clock-neuron activity are similar in rats and humans, the question of whether the same mechanism occurs in animals that sleep at night remains to be answered.
"We show this for this one circuit, but it's possible that clock neurons regulate other circuits in a similar manner and this remains to be studied," says Bourque. He speculates that future studies might reveal whether the same mechanism regulates hunger, sleepiness and other aspects of physiology related to circadian rhythms.

童英語小故事--小馬過河 (How a Colt Crossed the River)
One day, a colt took a bag of wheat to the mill.
As he was running with the bag on his back, he came to a small river. The colt could not decide whether he could cross it. Looking around, he saw a cow grazing nearby. He asked, "Aunt Cow, could you tell me if I can cross the river" The cow told him that he could and that the river was not very deep, just knee high.
the colt was crossing the river when a squirrel jumped down a tree and stopped him. The squirrel shouted, "Colt, stop! Youll drown! One of my friends drowned just yesterday in the river." Not knowing what to do, the colt went home to consult his mom.
He told his mom his experience on the way. His mother said, "My child, dont always listen to others. Youd better go and try yourself. Then youll know what to do."
Later, at the river, the squirrel stopped the colt again. "Little horse, its too dangerous!"
"No, I want to try myself", answered the colt. Then he crossed the river carefully.
On the other side of the river, the colt realized that the river was neither as shallow as the cow said nor as deep as the squirrel told him.
You see, real knowledge comes from practice.
小馬過河兒童英語故事中文譯文
一天，小馬馱著麥子去磨坊。
當他馱著口袋向前跑去時，突然發現一條小河擋住了去路。小馬為難了，這可怎麼辦呢？
它向四周望瞭望，看見一頭奶牛在河邊吃草。小馬問道：「牛阿姨，請您告訴我，這條河我能趟過去嗎？」奶牛回答說：「水很淺，剛到膝蓋。」
小馬正准備過河，突然叢樹上跳下一隻松鼠，攔住它大叫道：「小馬，別過河！你會被淹的。昨天，我的一個夥伴就在這條河裡淹啦！」小馬不知如何是好，於是決定回家問問媽媽。
小馬把路上的經歷告訴了媽媽。媽媽說：「孩子，光聽別人說是不行的，你自己親自去試一試，就知道答案了。」
小馬回到河邊，剛要下水，松鼠又大叫起來：「小馬，你不要命啦？」小馬說：「讓我自己試試吧。」它一面回答一面下了河，小心地趟了過去。原來河水既不像老牛說的那樣淺也不像松鼠說的那樣深。
這下明白了吧，實踐才能出真知。
The Fox and the Cat 狐狸和貓
It happened that the cat met Mr. Fox in the woods. She thought, "He is intelligent and well experienced, and is highly regarded in the world," so she spoke to him in a friendly manner, "Good-day, my dear Mr. Fox. How is it going How are you How are you getting by in these hard times"
The fox, filled with arrogance, examined the cat from head to feet, and for a long time did not know whether he should give an answer. At last he said, "Oh, you poor beard-licker, you speckled fool, you hungry mouse hunter, what are you thinking Have you the nerve to ask how I am doing What do you know How many tricks do you understand"
"I understand but one," answered the cat, modestly.
"What kind of a trick is it" asked the fox.
"When the dogs are chasing me, I can jump into a tree and save myself."
"Is that all" said the fox. "I am master of a hundred tricks, and in addition to that I have a sackful of cunning. I feel sorry for you. Come with me, and I will teach you how one escapes from the dogs."
Just then a hunter came by with four dogs. The cat jumped nimbly up a tree, and sat down at its top, where the branches and foliage completely hid her.
"Untie your sack, Mr. Fox, untie your sack," the cat shouted to him, but the dogs had already seized him, and were holding him fast.
"Oh, Mr. Fox," shouted the cat. "You and your hundred tricks are left in the lurch. If you been able to climb like I can, you would not have lost your life."
一隻貓在森林裡遇到一隻狐狸，心想：「他又聰明，經驗又豐富，挺受人尊重的。」於是它很友好地和狐狸打招呼：「日安，尊敬的狐狸先生，您好嗎？這些日子挺艱難的，您過得怎麼樣？」狐狸傲慢地將貓從頭到腳地打量了一番，半天拿不定主意是不是該和它說話。最後它說：「哦，你這個倒霉的長著鬍子、滿身花紋的傻瓜、飢腸轆轆地追趕老鼠的傢伙，你會啥？有甚麼資格問我過得怎麼樣？你都學了點甚麼本事？」「我只有一種本領。」貓謙虛地說。「甚麼本領？」狐狸問。「有人追我的時候，我會爬到樹上去藏起來保護自己。」「就這本事？」狐狸不屑地說：「我掌握了上百種本領，而且還有滿口袋計謀。我真覺得你可憐，跟著我吧，我教你怎麼從追捕中逃生。」
就在這時，獵人帶著四條狗走近了。貓敏捷地竄到一棵樹上，在樹頂上蹲伏下來，茂密的樹葉把它遮擋得嚴嚴實實。「快打開你的計謀口袋，狐狸先生，快打開呀！」貓沖著狐狸喊道。可是獵狗已經將狐狸撲倒咬住了。「哎呀，狐狸先生，」貓喊道，「你的千百種本領就這么給扔掉了！假如你能像我一樣爬樹就不至於丟了性命了！」
