Effects of urotensin II (UII) on paraventricular nucleus (PVN) neurons of hypothalamus from brain slices of rats were examined by using extracellular recording technique. The results are as follows: (1) In response to application of UII (0.3, 3.0, 30.0, 300.0 nmol/L, n=39) into the perfusate for 2 min, the spontaneous discharge rates (SDR) of 32/39 (82.05% ) neurons were significantly decreased in a dose-dependent manner; (2) Pretreatment with bicuculline (BIC, 100 μmol/L), a specific GABAA receptor antagonist, led to a marked increase in SDR of 5/7 ( 71.43% ) neurons in an epileptiform pattern. The increased discharges were not significantly changed after UII ( 30.0 nmol/L ) was applied into the perfusate for 2 min; (3) Pretreatment with picrotoxin ( PIC, 50 μmol/L ), a selective blocker of Cl- channel, led to an increase in the SDR of all 12/12 (100%) neurons. The increased discharges were not influenced by the applied UII (30.0 nmol/L) for 2 min in 11/12 (91.67%) neurons; (4) Application of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitor NG-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME, 50 μmol/L ) into the perfusate could significantly augment the SDR of 11/12 ( 91.67% ) neurons , while UII ( 30.0 nmol/L ) applied into the perfusate for 2 min led the augmented SDR of all (12/12, 100%) neurons decrease. The results suggest that UII decreases the excitability of PVN neurons of hypothalamus by potentiating GABAA receptor-mediated Cl- current.

OBJECTIVE: Although the therapeutic method of stroke is progressed very quickly in recent years, the incidence of its post-depression is up to 40%. Poststroke depression many affect neural function recovery, for which, to understand it is advantageous of improving living quality of stroke patients.DATA SOURCE: The literatures relevant to poststroke depression were looked up from China medical nuclear journals and studies at home and abroad in recent 5 years on www.google.com, Medline. The Retrieval words: stroke, depression, incidence, relevant factors.STUDY SELECTION: Totally 42 relevant papers were selected on experimental and clinical studies on poststroke depression. The original literatures of non-randomized study were excluded and those of nonblind study were not excluded.DATA EXTRACTION: Of 42 papers, 10 papers were deleted because of repetition of various degrees and 32 papers were sorted out in category and 10 of those were selected as reference.DATA SYNTHESIS: The incidence of poststroke depression is about 40%, resulting from the co-factors of society, psychology and biology.It is viewed generally that the high risk phase of depression is in a couple of year after stroke and the duration of poststroke depression is various. The severity of neural functional deficits in recovery phase is affected by poststroke depression. Moderate and severe depression may delay the recovery of neural function and poststroke depression can also result in poor recovery of daily living capacity of patients, affect patients' cognition and increase the incidence of dementia. Concerning to clinical observation, a remarkable progression has been achieved on treatment of poststroke depression.CONCLUSION: The incidence of poststroke depression is very high,associated with multiple factors. Poststroke depression influences harmfully on neural function, cognition and daily living capacity. Active intervention and treatment provide a certain action on reducing the incidence of poststroke depression.

Extracellular single-unit discharge recording technique was used to examine the effects of Ginkgolide B (BN52021) on the discharges of neurons in CAI area of hippocampal slices and to elucidate the mechanisms involved.The results showed that:(1) In response to the application of ginkgolide B (0.1,1,10 βμmol/L; n =43) into the perfusate for 2 rain,the spontaneous discharge rates (SDR) of 42/43 (97.67%) neurons were significantly decreased in a dose-dependent manner; (2) Pretreatment with L-glutamate (L-Glu,0.2mmol/L) led to a marked increase in the SDR of all 10 (100%) neurons in an epileptiform pattern.The increased discharges were suppressed significantly after ginkgolide B (1 μmol/L) was applied into the perfusate for 2 rain; (3) In 8 neurons,perfusion of the selective L-type calcium channel agonist,Bay K 8644 (0.1 μmol/L),induced a significant increase in the discharge rate of 8/8 (100%) neurons.Ginkgolide B (1 μmoL/L) applied into the perfusate inhibited the discharges of 7/8 (87.5%) slices; (4) In 8 neurons,the broad potassium channels blocker,tetraethylammonium (TEA,1 mmol/L) completely blocked the inhibitory effect of ginkgolide B (1 μmol/L).These results suggest that ginkgolide B can inhibit the electrical activity of CAI neurons.The inhibitory effect may be related to the blockade of L-type voltage-activated calcium channel and may be concerned with delayed rectifier potassium channel (KDR),which indicated that ginkgolide B play a protective role on the central neurons.

AIM To study the central role of genistein (GST) in regulating cardiovascular function of nervous center by examining the effects of GST on the electrical activity of rat paraventricular nucleus neurons in slice preparation and to elucidate the mechanism involved. METHODS Using extracellular single-unit discharge recording technique to examine discharges of neurons in paraventricular nucleus of hypothalamic slices at the resting potential level. RESULTS ①In response to the application of GST 10, 50 and 100 μmol·L-1, respectively, in the perfusate for 2 min, the spontaneous discharge rates (SDR) of neurons in 25/26 hypothalamic slices were significantly decreased in a concentration-dependent manner. ②Pretreatment with L-glutamate 0.2 mmol·L-1 led to a marked increase in the SDR of slices in an epileptiform pattern. GST 50 μmol·L-1 significantly attenuated the increased SDR in all 7 slices. ③In 8/8 slices, the G protein-coupled inwardly rectifying K+ channels (GIRKs) antagonist, tetraethylammonium 1 mmol·L-1 completely blocked the inhibitory effect of GST 50 μmol·L-1. ④Pretreatment with nitric oxide synthase inhibitor Nω-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester 50 μmol·L-1 increased SDR in all 7 slices, but did not affect the inhibitory effect of GST 50 μmol·L-1. CONCLUSION GST can inhibit the electrical activity of paraventricular neurons, and play a protective role on the central neurons. The inhibitory effect of GST may be related to the activation of GIRKs which induce K+ outward current and then engender the cell membrane hyperpolarization, but be not due to the NO release.

Objective To compare the characteristics between indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) and fundus fluorescence angiography ( FFA ) in patients with age-related macular degeneration ( ARMD ). Methods Twenty-five cases ( 35 eyes ) were diagnosed as exudative ARMD by ocular examination. Their age ranged from 60 to 81 years. The visual acuities were 1.0 at FC/30 cm before eye. We analyzed and compared the characteristics of FFA and ICGA in these patients. Results 5 eyes ( 14.3% ) with classic choroidal neovascularization ( CNV ) were found by FFA examination. 15 eyes ( 42.9% ) with classic CNV were found by ICGA examination. Of 20 eyes with occult CNV considered by FFA, 7 eyes had classic CNV by ICGA. Of 3 eyes considered as serous retinal pigment epithelial detachment ( PED ) without classic CNV by FFA, 1 eye had serous PED with classic CNV and 2 eyes had classic CNV by ICGA.1 eye was diagnosed as serous PED with CNV by FFA, and as occult CNV by ICGA. Conclusions ICGA raise detectability and accuracy of CNV in ARMD compared with FFA. It is contributive to early treatment in ARMD.

Objective To explore the influence of feeding styles in early stage on children′s weight in different stages.Methods A complete record of 918 healthy infants was selected and then divided into 3 feeding groups:breast feeding, mixed feeding and artificial fee-ding, according to the way of feeding in the first 6 months after birth. Their weights and heights were measured in the 3rd,5th,8th,12th,18th,24th,60th month to conduct the Z score of weight for age (WAZ), weight for height (WHZ) and the body mass index (BMI) of 60-month-old infants.An investigation on the time of adding auxiliary food was conducted.Results The heavier,WAZ and WHZ of breast feeding group in the 3rd month were higher than the other groups,and the differences were statistially significant(F=4.12, 5.66, 5.79 Pa

This study is to evaluate the effect of resveratrol on carotid baroreceptor activity (CBA). The functional curve of carotid baroreceptor (FCCB) was constructed and the functional parameters of carotid baroreceptor were measured by recording sinus nerve afferent discharge in anesthetized male rats with perfused isolated carotid sinus. Resveratrol (30, 60 and 120 μmol·L-1) inhibited CBA, which shifted FCCB to the right and downward. There was a marked decrease in peak slope (PS) and peak integral value (PIV) of carotid sinus nerve charge in a concentration-dependent manner. Pretreatment with Nω-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME, 100 μmol·L-1), an inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase (NOS), eliminated the inhibitory effect of resveratrol. Pretreatment with Bay K8644 (an agonist of L-type calcium channel, 500 nmol·L-1) abolished the effect of resveratrol on CBA. A potent inhibitor of tyrosine phosphatase (sodium orthovanadate, 1 mmol·L-1) did not influence the effect of resveratrol on CBA. Resveratrol inhibits carotid baroreceptor activity, which may be mediated by the locally released NO and decreased calcium influx. Several studies have showed a cardioprotective effect of resveratrol, with the penetrating study of resveratrol, it may show a potential value in the clinical treatment of cardiovascular disease as an alternative medicine.

AIM To study the relationship between cardioprotective effects of resveratrol and carotid sinus baroreflex (CSB). METHODS The functional curve of the CSB was measured by recording changes in arterial pressure in anesthetized male rats with perfused isolated carotid sinus. RESULTS Resveratrol (30, 60 and 120 μmol·L-1) inhibited the CSB, which shifted the functional curve of the baroreflex to the right and upward. There were a marked decrease in peak slope and a reflex decrease of blood pressure, and also an increase in threshold pressure. Changes of these parameters showed a concentration-dependent manner. Pretreatment with Nω-nitro-L-arginine methylester (100 μmol·L-1), an inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase, and pretreatment with Bay K8644 (500 nmol·L-1), an agonist of L-type calcium channel, could both eliminate the inhibitory effect of resveratrol on CSB. A potent inhibitor of tyrosine phosphatase sodium orthovanadate (1 mmol·L-1) did not influence the effect of resveratrol on CSB. CONCLUSION Resveratrol inhibits carotid baroreflex, which may be mediated by the locally released NO and decreased calcium influx.
