EFFECTS OF LIFELONG ETHANOL CONSUMPTION ON RAT LOCUS COERULEUS

The effects of lifelong ethanol consumption and ageing on themorphology of locus coeruleus (LC) were studied in alcohol-preferringAA (Alko Alcohol) rats of both sexes. Ethanol (12% v/v) wasthe only available liquid for the ethanol-consuming rats from3 months up to 24 months of age. Young (3-month-old) and old(24-month-old) control groups were included in the measurements.The LC morphometry was performed by an unbiased disector method.In the old control rats, the total neuron number, neuronal densityand the volume of the LC proper did not differ from the youngcontrols. In the ethanol-exposed rats, the total neuron numberof the LC was decreased by 30% and the LC neuronal density by22%, compared to the age-matched controls. No gender differencewas found in the vulnerability of LC neurons to ethanol-induceddegeneration. The results suggest a remarkable sensitivity ofthe LC neurons to the ethanol-induced degeneration in both maleand female rats. The possible mechanisms and functional implicationsof this neuronal loss are discussed.

磁刺激用平面线圈结构的优化研究

文中建立了采用任意形状平面线圈磁刺激仪的RLC模型，给出了模型参数的计算方法。为了优化线圈，将磁刺激仪线圈的性能指标分为反映线圈输出性能的峰值磁能和反映线圈结构的几何变量。在磁刺激激活函数达到阈值条件下，调整平面螺旋线圈的结构并计算出依赖于线圈结构参数的输出性能值，从而，寻找最优的线圈几何参数。优化结果表明：线圈外半径是关键因素，给定阈值条件，选择合适的线圈外半径，可以大大降低线圈峰值磁能；另外，现在使用的圆环线圈并非最优，D形线圈优于圆环线圈。

Involvement of protein kinase c in responses of rat dorsal horn neurons to mechanical stimuli and periaqueductal gray descending inhibition

 The effects of a protein kinase C (PKC) activator, 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA), on the activity and periaqueductal gray (PAG)-induced inhibition of rat dorsal horn neurons of the lumbar spinal cord were tested. A microdialysis fiber was placed through the dorsal horn for the purpose of local application of pharmacological agents. Extracellular single-unit recordings from dorsal horn neurons were made near the microdialysis fiber. TPA was tested on nociceptive dorsal horn cells. There was a significant increase in the background activity and responses to ”brush”, with no changes in responses to pressure and pinch stimuli. TPA also significantly blocked the PAG-induced inhibition of responses to brush, press, and pinch. These effects were eliminated by coadministration of the PKC inhibitor NPC-15437. The solvent, which contained dimethyl sulfoxide, was also tested for its effect on the responses to peripheral mechanical stimuli and PAG-induced inhibition of the dorsal horn neurons. There were no significant changes. This experiment suggests that activation of the PKC second messenger system might increase the activity of dorsal horn neurons and their responses to peripheral stimuli; in addition, the phorbol ester attenuated the PAG-induced descending inhibition of the dorsal horn neuron activity.
