Modification of spontaneous activity in primary vestibular neurons during development in the cat

Summary The spontaneous activity of primary vestibular neurons was studied during postnatal development in the cat. Activities were categorized as regular, intermediate and irregular on the basis of the coefficient of variation. At birth, few regularly firing units were found while the percentage of intermediate and irregular units was high. During development, the percentage of units meeting the criterion of regularity increased steadily with age. At the same time the number of intermediate and irregular units decreased. The average resting rate of all categories of unit showed an increase in firing from birth up to the adult stage, i. e., around the second postnatal month. The mean firing rate of regularly firing units was always higher than the two other categories throughout all the stages of development. These results were compared with similar work performed in the rat.Supported by grants from the C.N.R.S. (E.R.A.-187) and D.G.R.S.T. (no. 79-7-1073)     

蛇毒抗栓酶对氧自由基致血小板变化的影响

次黄嘌呤／黄嘌呤氧化酶体系产生的氧自由基在体外能明显增加血中板膜微粘度，脂质过氧化代射产物丙二醛含量，血小板胞内游离钙浓度和血小板５－羟色胺的释放量。０．０３ｕ／ｍｌ的蛇毒抗栓酶明显抑制前二种效应，但促进血小板释放５－羟色胺，增加血小板胞内游离钙浓度，结果表明蛇毒抗栓酶对血小板膜有保护作用。     

Relationship between age and effect of early and long-term captopril treatment in patients with acute myocardial infarction

Objective To analyse the relationship between age and treatment with captopril after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Methods In a randomized trial, 822 patients with a first AMI received conventional medic al treatment, including intravenous thrombolytic therapy and oral aspirin or metoprolol, and then were randomly allocated to captopril ［dosage fr om the first 6.25 mg to 25 mg/t.i.d, 209 younger patients (≤64 years), 269 elderly patients (65-75 years)］ or conventional treatment only (131 younger p atients, 213 elderly). Survival in the four groups was calculated with the Kapl an-Meier method. Multivariate analysis was performed to understand the degree that multi-variables (including age) affect survival in patients taking captopr il in the hospital or during long term follow-up. Results The survival of patients who took captopril correlated significantly with age ( P<0.001). The survival of the elderly patients on captopril treatment did increase (P<0.0001), but not of the younger ones (P>0.05) during hosp italization. During follow-up, the survival of patients who took captopril cor related insignificantly with age (P>0.05), but both the elderly and the you n ger patients have good survival rates (all P<0.01) and lower cardiac events (all P<0.01) when they took captopril.Conclusions Captopril exerts a weak effect on the younger patients but a beneficial effect o n the elderly patients during hospitalization after AMI. However, there is no d ifference between the younger and the elderly in the prognosis, both having good survival and lower cardiac events when they take captopril long term during fol low-up.
