Activities of mesencephalic nucleus neurons during fictive swimming of the carp Cyprinus carpio

ABSTRACT:   Fish swim by undulatory contractions of the axial trunk musculature. It has been presumed that a descending signal from the brainstem activates central pattern generators in the spinal cord to make the swimming rhythm. In the carp the electrical or chemical stimulation of a mesencephalic nucleus, the nucleus fasciculi longitudinalis medialis (Nflm), could initiate swimming. However, it has not been established what signals originate from the Nflm in order to make the fish swim. The activity of the Nflm neurons was therefore examined electrophysiologically during fictive swimming in paralyzed carp. Three types of neuronal activities closely related to the swimming rhythms were obtained. The first type was a continuous tonic firing throughout an episode of fictive swimming. Neurons involved in this tonic activity may project to the spinal cord and contribute to the activation of spinal neurons to initiate fish swimming. The second type was accompanied by continual phasic firings occurring in rhythm with the activity of spinal motoneurons. Supposing that the swimming rhythm originates in the spinal cord, the synchronous activity in the brain neurons may suggest that in the nucleus there is a relay neuron conveying the rhythm information from the cord to other neurons there or in the brain. The third type exhibited reduced firing rates during fictive swimming. It is possible that the neurons engaged in this activity may be inhibitory and suppress the activities of other neurons in the nucleus and spinal cord during rest or during decelerating swimming.     

CX3CR1 mediates the neuroprotective effect of triptolide on 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium-induced hemiparkinson rats

AIM: To investigate the effect of triptolide on the inhibition of microglial activation in 1-methyl-4-phenyl pyridinium (MPP⁺)-induced hemiparkinson disease rats.METHODS: The rat model of Parkinson disease was established by intranigral injection of MPP⁺. The rats were randomly divided into sham group, MPP⁺ group, triptolide group and vehicle group. The survival of dopaminergic neurons was detected by the immunofluorescence of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) in the substantia nigra (SN). The activation of microglia was determined by immunofluorescence of OX-42 (microglia marker) in the SN. The expression of chemokine receptor CX3CR1 in SN was measured by Western blotting.RESULTS: Intranigral injection of MPP⁺ increased the fluorescence intensity of the microglial marker, and promoted DA neuron degenerative death. Immunohistological analysis showed that the OX-42 density was decreased (P<0.01) and tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) positive neurons were increased in the triptolide group (P<0.01). The expression of CX3CR1 was lower in triptolide group than that in model group (P<0.05).CONCLUSION: Triptolide may improve PA neurons function in MPP⁺-induced rats through inhibiting CX3CR1 expression and microglial activation.     

Choosing Method of Wavelet Neuron Based on ECG Data Compression

The paper discusses a wavelet network for the ECG data compression and proposes the method for choosing its wavelet neuron.According to the spectrum range of the ECG data,we decide the time-frequency field of ECG.And the time-frequency field of wavelet is also determined by the spectrum range of it.The wavelet neuron is fixed preliminarily by the first two steps.Then the preliminary wavelet neuron is screened by using OLS algorithm.We choose Morlet as the mother wavelet,and use the ECG signal to validate by the method.The result demonstrates that the number of Morlet whose spectrums locate at the ECG's is up to 152.But after screening by the OLS algorithm,it reduces sharply.This method can make the size of the wavelet network driving to optimum and also reduce the training time of the wavelet network sharply.

The detection of Mycobacterium paratuberculosis in bovine faeces by isolation and the comparison of isolation with the examination of stained smears by light microscopy

The detection of Mycobacterium paratuberculosis organisms in bovine faeces by isolation was compared with that by the microscopical examination of Ziehl-Neelsen stained faecal smears for the presence of clumps of acid-fast M. paratuberculosis organisms. Faeces were obtained from cattle naturally or experimentally infected with M. paratuberculosis as well as from uninfected cattle. Microscopical examination was an unreliable method for the detection of M. paratuberculosis organisms since the organisms were only detected in 99 (=55.9%) of 177 culturally positive faecal samples. In addition, clumps of acid-fast organisms indistinguishable from M. paratuberculosis were also observed in three of 18 samples from cattle free from Johne's disease and in 18 of 37 culturally negative samples from paratuberculous cattle. When M. paratuberculosis organisms were added to faeces from an uninfected cow, results showed that isolation attempts should be positive when 15 or more M. paratuberculosis organisms per gram of faeces are present.     

昆虫嗅觉相关蛋白的研究进展

昆虫对自然环境中复杂化学信号的识别多依赖于其灵敏的嗅觉系统,选择寄主、觅食、寻找配偶等行为的发生都以嗅觉识别为基础,而完成嗅觉识别还需要多种嗅觉相关蛋白的参与。嗅觉相关蛋白主要包括6种,即气味结合蛋白、化学感受蛋白、气味受体、感觉神经元膜蛋白、离子型受体和气味降解酶。不同种类和性别的昆虫中,嗅觉蛋白的种类、数量和分布各不相同。由于嗅觉蛋白在昆虫识别外界气味分子中的重要作用,国内外近年来对其展开了广泛、深入的研究。本文从几种嗅觉相关蛋白的生化特性、分子结构、生理功能、分布表达部位和研究概况等角度,较详细地综述了近年来国内外昆虫嗅觉相关蛋白的研究进展。     

OCCURRENCE OF INDUCIBLE NITRIC OXIDE SYNTHASE IMMUNOREACTIVE MATERIAL IN THE RETINA OF THE CLAWED FROG,Xenopus laevis

借助Ⅱ和Ⅲ型一氧化氮合成酶（ＮＯＳ）特异性抗体对成年爪蛙（Ｘｅｎｏｐｕｓｌａｅｖｉｓ）视网膜中含ＮＯＳ的结构进行了免疫细胞化学定位研究。发现视杆和视锥细胞的视网膜杆、少数神经节细胞和无足细胞的细胞体均含有ＮＯＳⅡ免疫反应物质,缪勒细胞呈现强的ＮＯＳⅡ免疫反应性,外神经丛层的神经突起亦含强的ＮＯＳⅡ免疫反应性。在视网膜的细胞结构中,未见ＮＯＳⅢ免疫反应性。该结果暗示由ＮＯＳⅡ产生的一氧化氮可能参与视觉传导的调节。
