Ultrastructure of the periaqueductal grey matter of the rat: an electron microscopical and horseradish peroxidase study.

The neurons of the mesencephalic periaqueductal grey substance (PAG) in the rat are small and medium sized. The cells are frequently located in small clusters, without interdigitating glial elements and may be connected by direct membrane appositions or by gap junctions. The inner zone of the PAG is cell poor. In many cases, the cytoplasm of the cells is filled with extensive rough endoplasmic reticulum, free ribosomes, Golgi apparatus, and large lysosome-like granules. The nuclei show large indentations. The cells have a high nucleus-cytoplasm ratio. The neuropil is very extensive and particularly rich in large numbers of small unmyelinated axons, dendrites, axonal varicosities, and synaptic connections. Myelinated fibres are relatively scarce. The orientation of the fibres was studied in transverse and horizontal sections, in combination with HRP track tracing experiments. It appeared that throughout the PAG most of the fibres were orientated longitudinally. Quantitation showed that most fibres were present in the inner zones of the PAG. Moreover, the diameter of the fibres adjacent to the aqueduct was smaller than that of the fibres in the peripheral parts of the PAG. The thin unmyelinated fibres made extensive synaptic connections within the PAG. Many synaptic varicosities were found in the neuropil of the PAG. There were four types of synaptic varicosities, characterized by different populations of clear and dense-core secretory granules and by the different morphology of the synaptic specializations. In general, the different types of varicosity were homogeneously distributed in the different parts of the PAG. Electron dense secretory granules, when present, were located at some distance from the synaptic junction. Serial sections revealed varicosities which contained only dense-core secretory granules, without synaptic specializations. The dendrites of PAG neurons generally lacked synaptic spines. Many dendrites, particularly those of neurons located in the peripheral parts of the PAG, were directed toward the aqueduct. The present study shows that the PAG is a very complex brain area. The crisscrossing of axons and dendrites with synaptic connections at considerable distances from the cell bodies render it very difficult to unravel the relationships between the possible sources and destinations of ongoing information. This structure complicates the search for relationships between the functional organization and the cytoarchitectural borders in the PAG area.     

运动性中枢疲劳及乳酸对大鼠大脑皮质神经细胞MCT mRNA表达的影响

目的:探讨运动性中枢疲劳时大鼠大脑皮质MCT1、MCT2mRNA表达的变化以及乳酸对大鼠大脑皮质神经元MCT2mRNA表达的影响。方法:12只Wistar大鼠随机分为对照组和力竭训练1周组,每组6只。通过7天力竭训练建立中枢疲劳模型,观察中枢疲劳时大鼠大脑皮质MCT1、MCT2mR-NA表达变化;采用原代培养的大鼠大脑皮质神经元,观察不同浓度乳酸作用后大鼠大脑皮质神经元MCT2mRNA表达的变化。采用Trizol法提取大脑皮质和神经元总RNA;用SYBRAgreenI荧光定量RT-PCR测定MCT1及MCT2mRNA表达变化。结果:整体水平:力竭训练1周组MCT1mRNA表达无明显变化,而MCT2mRNA表达较对照组显著升高6·35±3·54倍(P<0·05)。细胞水平:乳酸作用后,神经元MCT2mRNA表达在pH=7·25时较对照组(pH=7·35组)升高3·08±2·38倍(P<0·05)。但随着乳酸浓度进一步升高,MCT2mRNA表达无明显增加。结果提示,中枢疲劳可能引发大脑皮质神经元MCT2mRNA表达升高,MCT2基因表达可能与乳酸在中枢疲劳中的作用有关。

Acute type a aortic dissection complicated with acute inferior myocardial infarction following aortic valve replacement

Acute aortic dissection complicated with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is the most fatal situation. We experienced the successful treatment for acute type A aortic dissection complicated with inferior AMI following aortic valve replacement (AVR). A 60-year-old man had had AVR for aortic regurgitation. Sixteen months after the AVR, he had a sudden onset of severe chest pain with complete atrioventricular block. Immediately, temporary pacing and cardiac catheterization were conducted, showing the occlusion of the right coronary artery due to acute type A aortic dissection. On his way to our hospital, direct current shock was conducted 3 times for ventricular fibrillation. We replaced the ascending aorta combined with coronary artery bypass grafting and the postoperative course was uneventful. The key to treat acute aortic dissection complicated with AMI is early accurate diagnosis, prompt temporary pacing for bradycardia, defibrillation for lethal arrhythmia and insertion of a perfusion catheter if possible. These preoperative hemodynamic stabilization gives us the chance to save these patients.     

CLINICAL NEUROPHARMACOLOGY OF CALCIUM ANTAGONISTS

Summary— Experimental and clinical data clearly demonstrate that calcium antagonists (CA) may have an action on the central nervous system (CNS). The cerebrovascular action of CA justifies their use in cerebral ischaemia, vasospasm and hypoxia. Several clinical trials have demonstrated such beneficial effects. On the other hand a number of reports indicate that CA may have a direct neuronal effect, although most of such trials have not been verified or are mere case reports. In addition, the large number of conditions susceptible to being corrected by CA is impressive: epilepsy, pain, dystonia, dyskinesia, psychiatric conditions, etc. Other papers are disconcerting that report extrapyramidal disorders induced by flunarizine and cinnarizine in the elderly, whereas nicardipine does not produce such side effects and may even alleviate some parkinsonian symptoms. In various experimental models (e.g. stroke, oedema), pharmacological effects have been shown to vary from one compound to the other. Two main questions are yet to be answered: 1) has the direct neuronal effect of CA been clearly established? 2) are the multiple clinical effects on the CNS really linked to calcium antagonism?
