A learned odor decreases the number of Fos-immunopositive granule cells in the olfactory bulb of young rats

Olfactory stimulation evokes a column of activity within the olfactory bulb extending from the glomerular layer to the granule cell layer that can be visualized with 2-deoxyglucose autoradiography, optical imaging, Fos protein immunohistochemistry and c-fos mRNA in situ hybridization. The Fos response to odors is typified by the activity of relatively few juxtaglomerular cells, which often occur in foci, and a large number of granule cells extending through much of the bulb. In this study, we characterized the granule cell response to an odor for which young rats had acquired a preference. Fos-like immunoreactive granule cells were quantified by image analysis, and densely stained cells were counted in a region previously shown to be responsive to peppermint odor. We found that odor-trained pups have about half the number of Fos-immunopositive superficial granule cells which respond to a learned odor than do control pups. We then determined whether there was a correlation between the juxtaglomerular cell response and the response of the superficial granule cells deep to those glomerular layer cells. We found a positive correlation between the number of juxtaglomerular cells and the number of granule cells demonstrating Fos immunoreactivity in both control and trained pups, a relationship that changed with early olfactory training.     

米索前列醇的临床应用

米索前列醇（misoprostol,米索）是人工合成的前列腺素E_1的衍生物,有多方面临床用途。80年代早期米索最先开始用于治疗消化性溃疡,尤其是对非甾体类抗炎药引起的胃十二指肠溃疡有明显疗效,对急性应激性溃疡也有预防作用。米索可引起腹泻,但因此也可治疗严重便秘的患者。随后发现米索对肝、肾有保护作用,还具明显抗炎、抗过敏作用;与其它抗早孕药合用,米索可使完全流产率大大提高;对人工流产术前的病人用米索可软化并扩张宫颈,从而减轻扩宫时病人的痛苦,使手术顺利进行。对米索的毒副作用研究发现其毒性主要表现在消化系统和雄性生殖系统,但一般比较轻微,无明显其它不良反应。故米索可谓一种高效、低毒的药物,值得临床推广。但男性患者在长期大量应用该药时需注意其对生殖系统的影响,孕妇应禁用。     

Expression of c-fos, fos B, and egr-1 in the medial preoptic area and bed nucleus of the stria terminalis during maternal behavior in rats

The spatial and temporal pattern of expression of the protein products of immediate early genes (IEGs) c-fos, fos B, and egr-1 were mapped in medial preoptic area (MPOA) and ventral bed nucleus of stria terminalis (VBST) during maternal behavior in rats. Immunocytochemical analysis indicated significant increases in the number of cells expressing c-Fos after 2 h of pup exposure, while Fos B levels showed a delayed response, reaching maximal levels after 6 h.     

C-fos expression in the rat nucleus basalis upon excitotoxic lesion with quisqualic acid: a study in adult and aged animals

Summary. A unilateral quisqualic acid lesion was placed in the nucleus basalis magnocellularis of 3- and 24-month-old rats, and the animals were sacrificed at different times post-surgery. The morphology and the number of the cholinergic neurons of the nucleus basalis were analyzed by means of immunohistochemistry for cholineacetyltransferase, in order to evaluate the size and severity of the lesion. Immunohistochemistry for the immediate early gene c-fos was also performed in order to clarify its role in the process of neurodegeneration following the excitotoxin injection. The DNA laddering and TUNEL techniques were used to define the type of cell death involved. At short times (4 hr) the lesion induced alterations in the morphology of cholinergic neurons of the nucleus basalis. Subsequently, a significant decrease in the number of neurons was found in comparison to the contralateral unlesioned side. In the older animals the loss of cholineacetyltransferase immunoreactivity had an earlier onset (4 hr) than in the young (24 hr). C-fos expression was induced by the lesion and not by saline injection in the nucleus basalis and in neighbouring areas of the brain as early as 4 hr after surgery. The c-fos protein was no longer present by 24 hr. Furthermore, the c-fos gene product was consistently absent from the nuclei of cholinergic cells. The aged animals exhibited a slower and smaller increase in c-fos as measured by counting the labelled nuclei in the injected area. Analysis of DNA fragmentation did not provide any evidence for apoptosis as the type of cell death involved in the cholinergic degeneration. These results indicate that the c-fos protein might have a protective role in the response to excitotoxic lesions. Furthermore, we have shown that the aged brain displays a reduced ability to produce a c-fos-mediated plastic response to the lesion. Received December 17, 1997; accepted February 17, 1998     

Treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia in early and stable phase of the disease: Long-term results of a randomized trial

Abstract: In 1982 the IGCI CLL cooperative group decided to investigate the usefulness of treating, at diagnosis B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) in early and stable phase of the disease. From January 1982 to December 1986, 148 patients were randomized either to receive immediate treatment with chlorambucil (CLB) or to defer therapy to the time of progression. The early and stable phase of the disease was defined by a total tumor mass (TTM) score < 9, the absence of anemia or thrombocytopenia and a doubling time > 12 months. The main end-point of the study was survival. At the last evaluation in April 1993, after a median follow-up of 75 months, no significant difference was found in overall survival between early vs. deferred treatment patients from every cause of death as well as from death due to CLL-related causes only. The same results were obtained when the patients in more favorable stages, such as Binet stage A and TTM < 4.5, were considered. Interestingly, the incidence of epithelial cancer was similar in the two groups. Early treatment was associated with a significantly better response and a lower progression rate. From this long-term experience, it can be concluded that immediate chemotherapy with CLB is not beneficial for CLL patients in early and stable phase of the disease in terms of survival.
