Decreased hyperthermic effect of MK-801 in selectively bred hypercholinergic rats

The Flinders Sensitive Line (FSL) of rats has been selectively bred to have increased sensitivity to cholinergic agonists. However, these rats exhibit altered responsiveness to a number of noncholinergic agents, such as apomorphine, buspirone and ethanol. This study compared the FSL and control Flinders Resistant Line (FRL) rats in terms of their hyperthermic response to the phencyclidine (PCP) receptor agonist, MK-801 (0.2 mg/kg SC) and their MK-801 binding characteristics. We have found that FSL rats react with a delayed hyperthermia, having a significantly lower hyperthermia for the first 120 min of observation. Thereafter the response does not differ in FSL and FRL rats. Both groups had similar affinities and numbers of [3H]MK-801 binding sites in the hippocampus/cerebral cortex. Pretreatment with scopolamine (1 mg/kg SC) failed to affect MK-801-induced hyperthermia in either line of rats. These findings suggest that selective breeding of FSL rats attenuated the secondary mechanisms involved in the PCP receptor-mediated hyperthermic response. However, by itself cholinergic supersensitivity does not appear to be a major factor in the blunted responsiveness of FSL rats to MK-801.

The lateral arm free flap in lower extremity reconstruction

Reconstruction of skin defects of the distal third of the leg and foot is often a difficult task. Shape, resistance to shearing stresses in the weight-bearing surface and sensibility are the main features that have to be restored. For coverage of this region, the authors have used, in selected patients, the lateral arm flap (LAF) since 1994. This flap is thin, easy to dissect and has the possibility to be innervated through the posterior cutaneous nerve of the arm. Fourteen cases are presented. The drawbacks of this flap are the loss of sensibility in the forearm (partially transient) and the scar on the arm, which can be rather unsightly in young ladies and when big flaps are harvested skin graft is needed.     

Ascending and descending components of the medial forebrain bundle in the rat as demonstrated by the horseradish peroxidase-blue reaction

Summary The ascending and descending components of the medial forebrain bundle (MFB) were investigated by means of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) with a sensitive substrate. The HRP was injected iontophoretically into the MFB at various levels from the anterior commissure to the posterior hypothalamus. In order to prevent the diffusion of HRP to other brain areas, a double micropipette system was used. The descending components of the MFB are derived from (1) the anterior cingulate area, infra- or prelimbic area, and sulcal cortex, (2) the lateral septal nucleus and diagonal band, (3) the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis, (4) the paraventricular nucleus (5) the substantia innominata, (6) the amygdaloid complex (AM), (7) the ventromedial (VM) and dorsomedial (DM) hypothalamic nuclei, (8) the entopeduncular nucleus and (9) nucleus periventricularis stellatocellularis. The ascending components of the MFB originate in: (1) the medial preoptic nucleus, (2) the nucleus periventricularis stellatocellularis and rotundocellularis, (3) the posterior hypothalamic nucleus, (4) the parafascicular nucleus, (5) the ventral premammillary nucleus, (6) the substantia grisea periventricularis, (7) the lateral habenular nucleus, (8) the VM and DM, (9) the paratenial nucleus, (10) the AM and (11) the arcuate nucleus.Abbreviations used in Figures and Tables a nucleus accumbens - abl nucleus amygdaloideus basalis, pars lateralis - abm nucleus amygdaloideus basalis, pars medialis - ac nucleus amygdaloideus centralis - AC anterior cingulate area - al nucleus amygdaloideus lateralis - am nucleus amygdaloideus medialis - ar nucleus arcuatus - CC tractus corporis callosi - CSDV commissura supraoptica dorsalis, pars ventralis - DB diagonal band - DM nucleus dorsomedialis hypothalami - EP nucleus entopeduncularis - ha nucleus anterior hypothalami - hl nucleus lateralis hypothalami - hp nucleus posterior hypothalami - IL infralimbic area of frontal cortex - lh nucleus habenulae lateralis - LH₁ medial forebrain bundle (MFB) at the level of commissura anterior - LH₂ lateral preoptic area - LH₃ MFB at the level of the nucleus anterior hypothalami - LH₄ MFB at the level of the nucleus ventromedialis hypothalami - LH₅ MFB at the level of the nucleus posterior hypothalami - MFB medial forebrain bundle - pf nucleus parafascicularis - PL prelimbic area of frontal cortex - pol nucleus preopticus lateralis - pom nucleus preopticus medialis - posc nucleus preopticus, pars suprachiasmatica - pt nucleus parataenialis - pv nucleus premamillaris ventralis - PV nucleus paraventricularis - pvs nucleus periventricularis stellatocellularis - pvr nucleus periventricularis rotundocellularis - SC sulcal cortex - SGPV substantia grisea periventricularis - SI substantia innominata - SL lateral septal nucleus - ST bed nucleus of stria terminalis - sum nucleus supramamillaris - TO tractus opticus - tmm nucleus medialis thalami, pars medialis - VM nucleus ventromedialis hypothalami The nomenclature used in this paper is according to König and Klippel's Stereotaxic Atlas (1967).

Effects of Vehicles and Pressure Sensitive Adhesives on the Penetration of Isosorbide Dinitrate Across the Hairless Mouse Skin

The effects of various vehicles and adhesives on the percutaneous absorption of isosorbide dinitrate (ISDN) were evaluated. Lauroglycol ® FCC showed the highest flux among vehicles tested. The flux of ISDN from silicone and acrylic adhesive matrices was found to be higher than that from other types of adhesive matrices. No statistically significant relationship between the flux from acrylic PSA and the flux from a solution formulation was observed. A highly cross-linked acrylic adhesive gave higher permeation rates than the other acrylic adhesives examined. N-decylmethyl sulfoxide showed the highest enhancing effect on the flux of ISDN from acrylic adhesive. The relationship between the HLB values of vehicles and the measured flux showed a decrease of flux at HLB values greater than 12.     

Childhood adversity and psychiatric disorder in young adulthood: An analysis of 107,704 Swedes

Childhood adversity (CA) is associated with increased risks of psychiatric disorder in young adulthood, but details in this association are less known. We aimed to explore the association of a range of CA indicators with psychiatric disorder in young adulthood, and the impact of age at exposure, disorder type and accumulation of indicators. We capitalized on Sweden's extensive and high-quality registers and analyzed a cohort of all Swedes (N = 107,704) born in Stockholm County 1987–1991. Adversities included familial death, parental substance misuse and psychiatric disorder, parental criminality, parental separation, public assistance recipiency and residential instability. Age at exposure was categorized as: 0–6.9 years (infancy and early childhood), 7–11.9 years (middle childhood), and 12–14 years (early adolescence). Psychiatric disorders after age 15 were defined from ICD codes through registers. Risks were calculated as Hazard Ratios (HR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI).Results showed that exposure to at least one CA was associated with an increased risk of psychiatric disorder (HR 1.4, 95% CI: 1.3–1.4). Risks were increased for mood, anxiety, and psychotic disorders and ADHD but not for eating disorders. The risk varied with type of disorder but was similar for all exposure periods. Individuals with multiple (3+) CAs had a two-fold risk of psychiatric disorder (HR 2.0, 95% CI: 1.9–2.1). In conclusion, our findings support the long-term negative impact of CA on mental health, regardless of developmental period of exposure. Given that experience of CA is common, efforts should be put to alleviate the burden of childhood adversities for children, particularly among the most disadvantaged.
