Glycolysis prevents anoxia-induced synaptic transmission damage in rat hippocampal slices

Prolonged anoxia can cause permanent damage to synaptic transmission in the mammalian CNS. We tested the hypothesis that lack of glucose is the major cause of irreversible anoxic transmission damage, and that anoxic synaptic transmission damage could be prevented by glycolysis in rat hippocampal slices. The evoked population spike (PS) was extracellularly recorded in the CA1 pyramidal cell layer after stimulation of the Schaffer collaterals. When the slice was superfused with artificial cerebrospinal fluid (ACSF) containing 4 mM glucose, following 10 min anoxia, the evoked PS did not recover at all after 60 min reoxygenation. When superfusion ACSF contained 10 mM glucose with or without 0.5 mM alpha-cyano-4-hydroxycinnate (4-CIN), after 60 min reoxygenation the evoked PS completely recovered following 10 min anoxia. When superfusion ACSF contained 20 mM glucose with or without 1 mM sodium cyanide (NaCN), after 60 min reoxygenation the evoked PS completely recovered even following 120 min anoxia. In contrast, when superfusion ACSF contained 4 mM glucose, following 10 min 1 mM NaCN chemical anoxia alone, without anoxic anoxia, the evoked PS displayed no recovery after 60 min reoxygenation. Moreover, when 16 mM mannitol and 16 sodium L-lactate were added into 4 mM glucose ACSF, following 10 min anoxia the evoked PS failed to recover at all after 60 min reoxygenation. The results indicate that elevated glucose concentration powerfully protected the synaptic transmission against anoxic damage, and the powerful protection is due to anaerobic metabolism of glucose and not a result of the higher osmolality in higher glucose ACSF. We conclude that lack of glucose is the major cause of anoxia-induced synaptic transmission damage, and that if sufficient glucose is supplied, glycolysis could prevent this damage in vitro.     

Preparation of graded porous titanium coatings on titanium implant materials by plasma spraying

Graded porous titanium coatings have been deposited on titanium substrates for dental implants by plasma spraying in an argon atmosphere. X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), surface roughness measurement, and tensile strength tests were performed on graded porous coatings. The results showed that Ti(3)O(5) was formed in the outermost surface of the porous coatings due to oxidation. The graded porous coatings consisted of three layers. The outer layer was full of macropores with a surface roughness of approximately 100 microm. The diameter of many macropores reached and even surpassed 150 microm, which could be beneficial for tissue to grow into the coating. The middle layer consisted of a mixture of micropores and macropores. The inner layer was a very dense and tight interface layer that included mechanical, physical, and metallurgical bonding. In tensile strength tests, testing bars peeled off the coatings, because the adhesive agent fractured, but the coatings remained intact.     

Polymorphisms of four microsatellite DNA markers from telomeric HLA I region (D6S1624, D6S258, M6S211 and D6S510) and their linkage disequilibrium with HLA-A in a southern Chinese Han population]

OBJECTIVE: To explore the genetic polymorphisms of four microsatellite DNA markers from telomeric HLA I region (D6S1624, D6S258, M6S211 and D6S510) and their linkage disequilibrium with HLA-A in a southern Chinese Han population residing in Hunan province. METHODS: Fluorescent PCR/Size-sequencing was carried out to analyze the polymorphisms of D6S1624, D6S258, M6S211 and D6S510 loci, and polymerase chain reaction-sequence specific priming (PCR-SSP) technique was used for HLA-A typing. RESULTS: The genotypic distributions at the 5 loci were consistent with Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (P> 0.05). The number of allelic variants for D6S1624, D6S258, M6S211 and D6S510 loci were 10, 10, 12 and 9, respectively. Each locus had several main alleles and the dominant alleles were D6S1624-*199, D6S258-*195, M6S211-*261 and D6S510-*186. All of the 4 microsatellite markers exhibited high heterozygosity values (0.7142-0.8316) and polymorphism information content values (0.6686-0.811). No global linkage disequilibrium (LD) was detected between D6S1624 and HLA-A (P= 0.2646), or between D6S258 and HLA-A (P= 0.3481). In contrast, very significant global LD was found between M6S211 and HLA-A (P< 0.0001), and between D6S510 and HLA-A(P< 0.0001). Subsequent analysis for haplotypes with an observed frequency of > or = 3% revealed that only 2 of the 10 D6S1624-HLA-A haplotypes and 3 of the 9 D6S258-HLA-A haplotypes displayed weak or moderate LD, while 7 out of the 8 M6S211-HLA-A haplotypes, 6 among the 7 D6S510-HLA-A haplotypes were in tight LD. CONCLUSION: Authors have characterized four microsatellite DNA markers, D6S1624, D6S258, M6S211 and D6S510 in a southern Chinese Han population. Findings shown here can be helpful for those studies mainly addressing the association between HLA I sub-region and diseases. The data also provide basis for future study in forensics, HLA matching in clinical transplantation and anthropology.     

Stimulus-dependent activation of c-Fos in neurons and glia in the rat cerebellum

The intent of the present study was to use chemical or electrical stimulation of cerebellar afferents to determine how different stimulation paradigms affect the pattern of activation of different populations of neurons in the cerebellar cortex. Specifically, we analyzed immediate changes in neuronal activity, identified neurons affected by different stimulation paradigms, and determined the time course over which neuronal activity is altered. In the present study, we used either systemic (harmaline) or electrical stimulation of the inferior cerebellar peduncle (10 and 40 Hz) to alter the firing rate of climbing and mossy fiber afferents to the rat cerebellum and an antibody made against the proto-oncogene, c-fos, as a marker to identify activated neurons and glia. In control animals, only a few scattered granule cells express nuclear Fos-like immunoreactivity. Although no other cells show Fos-like immunoreactivity in their nuclei, Purkinje cells express Fos-like immunoreactivity within their somatic and dendritic cytoplasm in control animals. Within 15 min of chemical or electrical stimulation, numerous granule and glial cells express Fos-like immunoreactivity in their nuclei. Cells in the molecular layer express Fos-like immunoreactivity following harmaline stimulation in a time and lobule specific manner; they do not appear to be activated in the electrical stimulation paradigm. Following harmaline injections, there is an initial loss of Fos-like immunoreactivity in the cytoplasm of Purkinje cells; 90 min later, nuclear staining is observed in a few scattered Purkinje cells. Following electrical stimulation, the cytoplasmic staining in Purkinje cells is enhanced; it is never present in the nucleus. Data derived from this study reveal cell-specific temporal and spatial patterns of c-Fos activation that is unique to each paradigm. Further, it reveals the presence of an activity dependent protein in the cytoplasm of Purkinje cell somata and dendrites.
