In vivo electrochemical methods were employed to study the potassium (K+-evoked release of monoamines from the cerebellum of the chloral hydrate anesthetized rat. K+-evoked releases were elicited using micropipette-Nafion-coated graphite epoxy electrode arrays in the granule/Purkenje cell layer, molecular layer, and white matter. These recorded releases were generally found to be reversible, moderately dose-dependent, and reproducible. However, the temporal dynamics of the releases were different for the cell layer versus molecular layer records. Releases were infrequently observed in cerebellar white matter, an area which is relatively devoid of monoamine containing terminals. The signals recorded from the cell and molecular layers were significantly attenuated by pretreatment with nomifensine, a potent catecholamine reuptake blocker, significantly prolonged the K+-evoked signals observed in both the granule/Purkenje cell and molecular layers. These data, taken together with earlier reports on the electrophysiological responses to activation of cerebellar noradrenergic inputs, support the conjecture that in vivo electrochemical recording methods have the sensitivity and spatial resolution for studies of functional monoamine release from brain regions that have a diffuse or laminated monoamine innervation. 相似文献
Summary: A new thin‐film characterization setup was created based on the combination of a surface plasmon spectrometer with an electrochemical cell operated under high pressure of up to 200 MPa and at temperatures up to 120 °C. The examples given to document its performance include photoisomerization studies with poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) films partly derivatized with disperse red (DR1), as well as, a preliminary account of the electropolymerization of EDOT under pressure and the assessment of the redox properties of the resulting thin PEDOT films.

Biphasic modification of bacterial bioluminescence by human serum was revealed: bioluminescence was inhibited at high concentrations
of the serum and stimulated at low concentrations. Effects of temperature and duration of exposure on bioluminescence manifested
in stimulation of the inhibitory effect at higher temperature and longer exposure. The degree of inhibition of bioluminescence
under in the presence of serum depends on species characteristics of the microorganism and nature of the luminescent system.
