Baroreflex
A response by the BARORECEPTORS to increased BLOOD PRESSURE. Increased pressure stretches BLOOD VESSELS which activates the baroreceptors in the vessel walls. The net response of the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM is a reduction of central sympathetic outflow. This reduces blood pressure both by decreasing peripheral VASCULAR RESISTANCE and by lowering CARDIAC OUTPUT. Because the baroreceptors are tonically active, the baroreflex can compensate rapidly for both increases and decreases in blood pressure.

Tyramine
An indirect sympathomimetic. Tyramine does not directly activate adrenergic receptors, but it can serve as a substrate for adrenergic uptake systems and monoamine oxidase so it prolongs the actions of adrenergic transmitters. It also provokes transmitter release from adrenergic terminals. Tyramine may be a neurotransmitter in some invertebrate nervous systems.
Shy-Drager Syndrome
A progressive neurodegenerative condition of the central and autonomic nervous systems characterized by atrophy of the preganglionic lateral horn neurons of the thoracic spinal cord. This disease is generally considered a clinical variant of MULTIPLE SYSTEM ATROPHY. Affected individuals present in the fifth or sixth decade with ORTHOSTASIS and bladder dysfunction; and later develop FECAL INCONTINENCE; anhidrosis; ATAXIA; IMPOTENCE; and alterations of tone suggestive of basal ganglia dysfunction. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p536)
Trigeminal Nerve
The 5th and largest cranial nerve. The trigeminal nerve is a mixed motor and sensory nerve. The larger sensory part forms the ophthalmic, mandibular, and maxillary nerves which carry afferents sensitive to external or internal stimuli from the skin, muscles, and joints of the face and mouth and from the teeth. Most of these fibers originate from cells of the TRIGEMINAL GANGLION and project to the TRIGEMINAL NUCLEUS of the brain stem. The smaller motor part arises from the brain stem trigeminal motor nucleus and innervates the muscles of mastication.

In the sympathetic division most preganglionic fibers originate with neurons in the intermediolateral column of the SPINAL CORD, exit via ventral roots from upper thoracic through lower lumbar segments, and project to the paravertebral ganglia; there they either terminate in SYNAPSES or continue through the SPLANCHNIC NERVES to the prevertebral ganglia. In the parasympathetic division the fibers originate in neurons of the BRAIN STEM and sacral spinal cord. In both divisions the principal transmitter is ACETYLCHOLINE but peptide cotransmitters may also be released.

Botulinum Toxins
Toxic proteins produced from the species CLOSTRIDIUM BOTULINUM. The toxins are synthesized as a single peptide chain which is processed into a mature protein consisting of a heavy chain and light chain joined via a disulfide bond. The botulinum toxin light chain is a zinc-dependent protease which is released from the heavy chain upon ENDOCYTOSIS into PRESYNAPTIC NERVE ENDINGS. Once inside the cell the botulinum toxin light chain cleaves specific SNARE proteins which are essential for secretion of ACETYLCHOLINE by SYNAPTIC VESICLES. This inhibition of acetylcholine release results in muscular PARALYSIS.

Bungarotoxins
Neurotoxic proteins from the venom of the banded or Formosan krait (Bungarus multicinctus, an elapid snake). alpha-Bungarotoxin blocks nicotinic acetylcholine receptors and has been used to isolate and study them; beta- and gamma-bungarotoxins act presynaptically causing acetylcholine release and depletion. Both alpha and beta forms have been characterized, the alpha being similar to the large, long or Type II neurotoxins from other elapid venoms.

Receptors, Adrenergic
Cell-surface proteins that bind epinephrine and/or norepinephrine with high affinity and trigger intracellular changes. The two major classes of adrenergic receptors, alpha and beta, were originally discriminated based on their cellular actions but now are distinguished by their relative affinity for characteristic synthetic ligands. Adrenergic receptors may also be classified according to the subtypes of G-proteins with which they bind; this scheme does not respect the alpha-beta distinction.

Possible role of serotonin in Merkel-like basal cells of the taste buds of the frog, Rana nigromaculata. (1/1756)

Merkel-like basal cells in the taste buds of the frog were examined by fluorescence histochemistry, immunohistochemistry and electron microscopy. There were about 16-20 basal cells arranged in a radial fashion at the base of each taste bud. These cells were strongly immunopositive for serotonin antiserum. They were characterised by the presence of numerous dense-cored granules in the cytoplasm ranging from 80 to 120 nm in diameter, and of microvilli protruding from the cell surface. For 4 mo after sensory denervation by cutting the gustatory nerves, all cell types of the taste bud were well preserved and maintained their fine structure. Even at 4 mo after denervation, the basal cells exhibited a strong immunoreaction with serotonin antiserum. To investigate the function of serotonin in the basal cells in taste bud function, serotonin deficiency was induced by administration of p-chlorophenylalanine (PCPA), an inhibitor of tryptophan hydroxylase, and of p-chloroamphetamine (PCA), a depletor of serotonin. After administration of these agents to normal and denervated frogs for 2 wk, a marked decrease, or complete absence, of immunoreactivity for serotonin was observed in the basal cells. Ultrastructurally, degenerative changes were observed in both types of frog; numerous lysosome-like myelin bodies were found in all cell types of the taste buds. The number of dense-cored granules in the basal cells also was greatly decreased by treatment with these drugs. Serotonin in Merkel-like basal cells appears to have a trophic role in maintenance of the morphological integrity of frog taste bud cells.  (+info)

Expression of Mash1 in basal cells of rat circumvallate taste buds is dependent upon gustatory innervation. (2/1756)

Mash1, a mammalian homologue of the Drosophila achaete-scute proneural gene complex, plays an essential role in differentiation of subsets of peripheral neurons. In this study, using RT-PCR and in situ RT-PCR, we investigated if Mash1 gene expression occurs in rat taste buds. Further, we examined dynamics of Mash1 expression in the process of degeneration and regeneration in denervated rat taste buds. In rat tongue epithelium, Mash1 gene expression is confined to circumvallate, foliate, and fungiform papilla epithelia that include taste buds. In taste buds, Mash1-expressing cells are round cells in the basal compartment. In contrast, the mature taste bud cells do not express the Mash1 gene. Denervation and regeneration experiments show that the expression of Mash1 requires gustatory innervation. We conclude that Mash1 is expressed in cells of the taste bud lineage, and that the expression of Mash1 in rat taste buds is dependent upon gustatory innervation.  (+info)

Effect of central corticotropin-releasing factor on carbon tetrachloride-induced acute liver injury in rats. (3/1756)

Central neuropeptides play important roles in many instances of physiological and pathophysiological regulation mediated through the autonomic nervous system. In regard to the hepatobiliary system, several neuropeptides act in the brain to regulate bile secretion, hepatic blood flow, and hepatic proliferation. Stressors and sympathetic nerve activation are reported to exacerbate experimental liver injury. Some stressors are known to stimulate corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) synthesis in the central nervous system and induce activation of sympathetic nerves in animal models. The effect of intracisternal CRF on carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced acute liver injury was examined in rats. Intracisternal injection of CRF dose dependently enhanced elevation of the serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) level induced by CCl4. Elevations of serum aspartate aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, and total bilirubin levels by CCl4 were also enhanced by intracisternal CRF injection. Intracisternal injection of CRF also aggravated CCl4-induced hepatic histological changes. Intracisternal CRF injection alone did not modify the serum ALT level. Intravenous administration of CRF did not influence CCl4-induced acute liver injury. The aggravating effect of central CRF on CCl4-induced acute liver injury was abolished by denervation of hepatic plexus with phenol and by denervation of noradrenergic fibers with 6-hydroxydopamine treatment but not by hepatic branch vagotomy or atropine treatment. These results suggest that CRF acts in the brain to exacerbate acute liver injury through the sympathetic-noradrenergic pathways.  (+info)

Nitric oxide mediates sympathetic vasoconstriction at supraspinal, spinal, and synaptic levels. (4/1756)

The purposes of this study were to investigate the level of the sympathetic nervous system in which nitric oxide (NO) mediates regional sympathetic vasoconstriction and to determine whether neural mechanisms are involved in vasoconstriction after NO inhibition. Ganglionic blockade (hexamethonium), alpha1-receptor blockade (prazosin), and spinal section at T1 were used to study sympathetic involvement. NO was blocked with Nomega-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME). Regional blood flow in the mesenteric and renal arteries and terminal aorta was monitored by electromagnetic flowmetry in conscious rats. L-NAME (3-5 mg/kg iv) increased arterial pressure and peripheral resistance. Ganglionic blockade (25 mg/kg iv) significantly reduced the increase in resistance in the mesentery and kidney in intact and spinal-sectioned rats. Ganglionic blockade significantly decreased hindquarter resistance in intact rats but not in spinal-sectioned rats. Prazosin (200 micrograms/kg iv) significantly reduced the increased hindquarter resistance. We concluded that NO suppresses sympathetic vasoconstriction in the mesentery and kidney at the spinal level, whereas hindquarter tone is mediated at supraspinal and synaptic levels.  (+info)

Erythromycin enhances early postoperative contractility of the denervated whole stomach as an esophageal substitute. (5/1756)

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether early postoperative administration of erythromycin accelerates the spontaneous motor recovery process after elevation of the denervated whole stomach up to the neck. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: Spontaneous motor recovery after gastric denervation is a slow process that progressively takes place over years. METHODS: Erythromycin was administered as follows: continuous intravenous (i.v.) perfusion until postoperative day 10 in ten whole stomach (WS) patients at a dose of either 1 g (n = 5) or 2 g (n = 5) per day; oral intake at a dose of 1 g/day during 1.5 to 8 months after surgery in 11 WS patients, followed in 7 of them by discontinuation of the drug during 2 to 4 weeks. Gastric motility was assessed with intraluminal perfused catheters in these 21 patients, in 23 WS patients not receiving erythromycin, and in 11 healthy volunteers. A motility index was established by dividing the sum of the areas under the curves of >9 mmHg contractions by the time of recording. RESULTS: The motility index after IV or oral administration of erythromycin at and after surgery was significantly higher than that without erythromycin (i.v., 1 g: p = 0.0090; i.v., 2 g: p = 0.0090; oral, 1 g: p = 0.0017). It was similar to that in healthy volunteers (i.v., 1 g: p = 0.2818; oral, 1 g: p = 0.7179) and to that in WS patients with >3 years of follow-up who never received erythromycin (i.v., 1 g: p = 0.2206; oral, 1 g: p = 0.8326). The motility index after discontinuation of the drug was similar or superior to that recorded under medication in four patients who did not experience any modification of their alimentary comfort, whereas it dropped dramatically parallel to deterioration of the alimentary comfort in three patients. CONCLUSIONS: Early postoperative contractility of the denervated whole stomach pulled up to the neck under either i.v. or oral erythromycin is similar to that recovered spontaneously beyond 3 years of follow-up. In some patients, this booster effect persists after discontinuation of the drug.  (+info)

Heterogeneous cardiac sympathetic denervation and decreased myocardial nerve growth factor in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats: implications for cardiac sympathetic dysinnervation complicating diabetes. (6/1756)

Heterogeneous myocardial sympathetic denervation complicating diabetes has been invoked as a factor contributing to sudden unexplained cardiac death. In subjects with diabetic autonomic neuropathy (DAN), distal left ventricular (LV) denervation contrasts with preservation of islands of proximal innervation, which exhibit impaired vascular responsiveness. The aims of this study were to determine whether this heterogeneous pattern of myocardial sympathetic denervation occurs in a rat model of diabetes and to explore a potential association with regional fluctuations in myocardial nerve growth factor (NGF) protein. Myocardial sympathetic denervation was characterized scintigraphically using the sympathetic neurotransmitter analog C-11 hydroxyephedrine ([11C]HED) and compared with regional changes in myocardial NGF protein abundance and norepinephrine content after 6 and 9 months in nondiabetic (ND) and streptozotocin-induced diabetic (STZ-D) rats. In ND rats, no difference in [11C]HED retention or norepinephrine content was detected in the proximal versus distal myocardium. After 6 months, compared with ND rats, myocardial [11C]HED retention had declined in the proximal segments of STZ-D rats by only 9% (NS) compared with a 33% decrease in the distal myocardium (P < 0.05). Myocardial norepinephrine content was similar in both ND and STZ-D rats. At 6 months, LV myocardial NGF protein content in STZ-D rats decreased by 52% in the proximal myocardial segments (P < 0.01 vs. ND rats) and by 82% distally (P < 0.01 vs. ND rats, P < 0.05 vs. proximal segments). By 9 months, [11C]HED retention had declined in both the proximal and distal myocardial segments of the STZ-D rats by 42% (P < 0.01 vs. ND rats), and LV norepinephrine content and NGF protein were decreased in parallel. Therefore, 6 months of STZ-induced diabetes results in heterogeneous cardiac sympathetic denervation in the rat, with maximal denervation occurring distally, and is associated with a proximal-to-distal gradient of LV NGF protein depletion. It is tempting to speculate that regional fluctuations of NGF protein in the diabetic myocardium contribute to heterogeneous cardiac sympathetic denervation complicating diabetes.  (+info)

Hypoxia inhibits baroreflex vagal bradycardia via a central action in anaesthetized rats. (7/1756)

It is known that arterial baroreflexes are suppressed in stressful conditions. The present study was designed to determine whether and how hypoxia affects arterial baroreflexes, especially the heart rate component, baroreflex vagal bradycardia. In chloralose-urethane-anaesthetized rats, baroreflex vagal bradycardia was evoked by electrical stimulation of the aortic depressor nerve, and the effect of 15 s inhalation of hypoxic gas (4% O2) was studied. Inhalation of hypoxic gas was found to inhibit baroreflex vagal bradycardia. The inhibition persisted after bilateral transection of the carotid sinus nerve. Cervical vagus nerves were cut bilaterally and their peripheral cut ends were stimulated to provoke vagal bradycardia of peripheral origin so as to determine whether hypoxia could inhibit vagal bradycardia by acting on a peripheral site. In contrast to baroreflex vagal bradycardia, the vagus-induced bradycardia was not affected by hypoxic gas inhalation. It is concluded that baroreflex vagal bradycardia is inhibited by hypoxia and the inhibition is largely mediated by its direct central action.  (+info)

A substituted dextran enhances muscle fiber survival and regeneration in ischemic and denervated rat EDL muscle. (8/1756)

Ischemia and denervation of EDL muscle of adult rat induce a large central zone of degeneration surrounded by a thin zone of peripheral surviving muscle fibers. Muscle regeneration is a complex phenomenon in which many agents interact, such as growth factors and heparan sulfate components of the extracellular matrix. We have shown that synthetic polymers, called RGTA (as regenerating agents), which imitate the heparan sulfates, are able to stimulate tissue repair when applied at the site of injury. In crushed muscles, RGTA were found to accelerate both regeneration and reinnervation. In vitro, RGTA act as protectors and potentiators of various heparin binding growth factors (HBGF). It was postulated that in vivo their tissue repair properties were due in part to an increase of bioavailability of endogenously released HBGF. In the present work, we show that ischemic and denervated EDL muscle treated by a unique injection of RGTA differs from the control after 1 wk in several aspects: 1) the epimysial postinflammatory reaction is inhibited and the area of fibrotic tissue among fibers is reduced; 2) the peripheral zone, as measured by the number of intact muscle fibers, was increased by more than twofold; and 3) In the central zone, RGTA enhances the regeneration of the muscle fibers as well as muscle revascularization. These results suggest that RGTA both protects muscle fibers from degeneration and preserves the differentiated state of the surviving fibers. For the first time it is demonstrated that a functionalized polymeric compound can prevent some of the damage resulting from muscle ischemia. RGTA may therefore open a new therapeutic approach for muscle fibrosis and other postischemic muscle pathologies.  (+info)

Preliminary results of RETREAT renal denervation study go against the grain - Interventional NewsPreliminary results of RETREAT renal denervation study go against the grain - Interventional News
Renal denervation with ultrasound after performed after prior denervation with radiofrequency seems to be safe. After an initial decrease of blood pressure after one month, we observed an increase in blood pressure in this small number of patients, a finding which has not been seen in other denervation studies, said Sievert.. RETREAT is a physician-initiated prospective, multicentre study with no industry funding in which 30 patients will be enrolled. Its purpose is to evaluate the effect of renal denervation using ultrasound energy (with Recors Paradise system) after failed denervation with radiofrequency (with Medtronics Symplicity system).. Sievert said: Enrolment in the RETREAT study coincided with the publication of the SYMPLICITY HTN-3 study results following which the reimbursement for renal denervation was stopped in Germany. There was a decline in referrals for renal denervation and new treatment modalities for hypertension began to be explored. This resulted in enrolment becoming ...

The DENERHTN Randomized Controlled Trial: Renal Denervation for Resistant Hypertension Revisited - HeartThe DENERHTN Randomized Controlled Trial: Renal Denervation for Resistant Hypertension Revisited - Heart
Despite large reductions in blood pressure seen in early studies of renal denervation, the SYMPLICITY HTN-3 randomized trial failed to show a reduction in systolic blood pressure with renal denervation when compared to medical therapy alone. As a result, interest in renal denervation as a treatment for resistant hypertension has waned. In the DENERHTN trial, Azizi and colleagues assessed the incremental benefit of adding renal denervation to standardized stepped-care antihypertensive treatment (SSAHT) for patients with resistant hypertension in an open-label, randomized-controlled trial with blinded endpoint evaluation. After four weeks of a standardized anti-hypertensive regimen to confirm resistant hypertension, patients were randomized to renal denervation in addition to SSAHT versus SSAHT alone. The primary endpoint was the mean change in daytime systolic blood pressure after six months as assessed by ambulatory monitoring. Of the 106 patients randomized (53 in each group), 101 had endpoints ...

Development of the muscular saphenous artery and the effect of surgical denervation on normal development was investigated in young rats at 3 and 6 weeks of age. During this interval, the weight and blood pressures (systolic, diastolic, and mean) of the animals increased significantly. The tunica media of the artery and the lumen increased significantly with age, but the proportion of smooth muscle cell to paracellular matrix did not alter. Computer-assisted three-dimensional reconstructions were used to investigate the smooth muscle cells. They increased significantly in length, volume, and angle of orientation within the vessel wall with age but maintained an approximate surface area-to-volume ratio. The cells in any one vessel tended to be oriented in either a clockwise or counterclockwise direction. The size of the nucleus also increased significantly in length and volume with age, but an approximate surface area-to-volume ratio and a constant nucleocytoplasmic ratio were maintained. The ...

Dynamic Analysis of Renal Nerve Activity Responses to Baroreceptor Denervation in Hypertensive Rats | HypertensionDynamic Analysis of Renal Nerve Activity Responses to Baroreceptor Denervation in Hypertensive Rats | Hypertension
Interruption of afferent input from the sinoaortic and cardiac baroreceptors resulted in a decrease in the correlation dimension and the greatest Lyapunov exponent of the nonlinear dynamic characteristics of synchronized RSNA that was different among Sprague-Dawley rats, WKY, and SHR. In Sprague-Dawley rats, the immediate responses to sinoaortic and cardiac baroreceptor denervation were qualitatively similar to those seen in previous studies7 in which 60 minutes was allowed to elapse between the completion of the denervation procedure and the collection of the experimental data. However, there are important quantitative differences in that the decrease in the correlation dimension was less in the present study (immediate, 2.42 versus 2.16, −11%) than in the previous study (60 minutes, 2.65 versus 1.64, −38%), while the situation was opposite for the greatest Lyapunov exponent (immediate, 0.199 versus 0.130, −35%; 60 minutes, 0.201 versus 0.177, −12%).

About hypertension. Hypertension is a chronic medical condition in which blood pressure in the arteries is elevated. Blood pressure is expressed by two measurements, systolic and diastolic pressures, which are the maximum and minimum pressures, respectively, in the arterial system. Normal blood pressure at rest is within the range of 100-140 mmHg systolic and 60-90 mmHg diastolic. Hypertension is present if the blood pressure is persistently at or above 140/90 mmHg for adults. Sustained hypertension over time is a major risk factor for heart disease, coronary artery disease, stroke, aortic aneurysm, peripheral artery disease and chronic kidney disease. Hypertension affects over 1 billion people worldwide.. About renal denervation. Renal denervation is an interventional approach for the treatment of high blood pressure. A minimally-invasive, endovascular-catheter-based procedure, it uses radiofrequency or ultrasound ablation to treat resistant hypertension. Nerves in the wall of the renal artery ...

OBJECTIVE We have previously demonstrated the effectiveness of renal denervation (RDN) to lower blood pressure (BP) at least partially via the reduction of sympathetic stimulation to the kidney. Obesity also contributes to hypertension. A number of adipocyte-derived factors (collectively termed adipokines) have been implicated in BP control. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of RDN on adipokines. In particular, whether BP reduction, associated with RDN treatment, has a favourable outcome on adipokine profile in patients with resistant hypertension (RH). DESIGN AND METHOD Fifty seven patients with RH undergoing RDN have been recruited for the study (65% males, age 60.8 ± 1.5 years, BMI 32.6 ± 0.7 kg/m, mean ± SEM). At recruitment the patients were on an average of 4.8 ± 2.1 antihypertensive drugs and were asked to refrain from changing their medication regimen for the duration of the study. Automated seated office BP measurements were taken with an Omron HEM-705 monitor at baseline

The results of the present study support the conclusion that in rats, the arterial baroreceptor reflex largely mediates the stress-induced increases in Mayer waves and associated RSNA oscillations. In rats with chronic SAD, stress enhances fluctuations of MAP and RSNA in the frequency band containing Mayer waves but does not unmask any predominant rhythmicity at Mayer waves frequency.. In baroreceptor-intact and SAD rats, a continuous jet of air blown into the cage increased RSNA and MAP, which is characteristic of the defense reaction in rats.26,27 In SAD rats, although the stress-induced increase in RSNA was similar to that observed in control rats, the increase in MAP was larger. The latter finding accords with a previous report.22 These differential effects of stress on MAP were not related to cardiac factors because the autonomic innervation of the heart had been blocked. Stress did not markedly alter the gain of the transfer function between RSNA and MAP in SAD rats, which suggests that ...

Inhibition of glycolysis in the denervated dog heart. | Circulation ResearchInhibition of glycolysis in the denervated dog heart. | Circulation Research
We measured glucose metabolism in five dogs before and 3 weeks after cardiac denervation; after this time myocardial norepinephrine is depleted. The discharge by the myocardium, of 14CO2 from infused 14C-D-glucose (U), decreased following denervation (P = 0.05). The ratio of 14CO2 to total CO2 production, which measured the proportion of glucose to total substrate oxidized, also decreased following denervation (P = 0.05). The inhibition of glucose oxidation by denervation was not due to an increase in arterial lactate concentration. There was an associated increase in myocardial content of fructose-6-phosphate in an additional seven dogs (P , 0.01). We postulate that myocardial tissue norepinephrine is one of the controllers of the activity of phosphofructokinase. ...

Increased sympathetic activity is a well-known pathophysiological mechanism in insulin resistance (IR) and hypertension (HT). The carotid bodies (CB) are peripheral chemoreceptors that classically respond to hypoxia by increasing chemosensory activity in the carotid sinus nerve (CSN), causing hyperventilation and activation of the sympathoadrenal system. Besides its role in the control of ventilation, the CB has been proposed as a glucose sensor implicated in the control of energy homeostasis. However, to date no studies have anticipated its role in the development of IR. Herein, we propose that CB overstimulation is involved in the etiology of IR and HT, core metabolic and hemodynamic disturbances of highly prevalent diseases like the metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, and obstructive sleep apnoea. We demonstrate that CB activity is increased in IR animal models and that CSN resection prevents CB overactivation and diet-induced IR and HT. Moreover, we show that insulin triggers CB, ...

It has been suggested that skeletal nerves fibers may play important roles in neuro-osteogenic interactions. This view is partly based upon information obtained from immunohistochemical studies, chemical and surgical denervation experiments and clinical observations in patients with stroke and spinal cord injury, indicating the presence of a network of nerve fibers in the skeleton and that defective signalling in skeletal nerve fibers affects remodelling of bone. This view is also supported by data showing that functional receptors for signalling molecules in skeletal nerve fibers are expressed in bone cells and that activation of these receptors leads to profound effects on bone forming osteoblasts and bone resorbing osteoclasts. Convincing evidence for a role of neuronal signalling in bone metabolism has been provided by gene deletion approaches in which it has been shown that leptin-sensitive and neuropeptide Y-sensitive receptors in hypothalamus are important for bone remodelling in mice. ...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the compensatory effects of real-time auditory feedback on two proprioceptively deafferented subjects. The real-time auditory feedback was based on a movement sonification approach, consisting of translating some movement variables into synthetic sounds to make them audible. The two deafferented subjects and 16 age-matched control participants were asked to learn four new characters. The characters were learned under two different conditions, one without sonification and one with sonification, respecting a within-subject protocol. The results revealed that characters learned with sonification were reproduced more quickly and more fluently than characters learned without and that the effects of sonification were larger in deafferented than in control subjects. Secondly, whereas control subjects were able to learn the characters without sounds the deafferented subjects were able to learn them only when they were trained with sonification. Thirdly, although the

The increase in total integrated voltage of renal sympathetic nerve activity that occurs with peripheral thermal receptor stimulation (heat) decreases renal blood flow, and the renal vasoconstriction is prevented by prior renal denervation (34). As it was this stimulus that identified a unique subset of single renal sympathetic nerve fibers, we sought to determine quantitative aspects of the renal sympathetic neural discharge seen in multifiber recordings that were produced by peripheral thermal receptor stimulation. Postganglionic multifiber renal sympathetic nerve activity occurs in synchronized sympathetic discharges (bursts, peaks) with distinct coupling to the cardiac cycle. These synchronized renal sympathetic peaks may be characterized by their amplitude, duration, and frequency. Total integrated voltage encompasses the product of voltage under the curve of each peak (governed largely by peak amplitude as peak duration changes little) and peak frequency. Therefore, changes in total ...

Based on reports that S1P-receptor signaling is involved in neuronal plasticity (e.g., [34, 40, 41]), regulation of neurite remodeling (e.g., [40, 42]), and neuroprotection (e.g., [33, 43, 44]) and also because of the relevance of FTY720 in the treatment of MS, we wondered whether FTY720 could have an influence on denervation-induced dendritic changes. Indeed, FTY720 prevented the denervation-induced reduction in TDL. Furthermore, dynamic imaging revealed that FTY720 stabilizes denervated dendrites and thus prevents the denervation-induced change in the balance of dendritic retraction and elongation. This neuro-stabilization seems to be a direct effect of FTY720 on neural tissue, since the peripheral immune system, which is regarded as the main target of FTY720, is missing in organotypic slice culture preparations. To control for off-target effects of FTY720 (and its agonist-antagonist properties; [16-18]), we repeated these experiments with the S1PR1/3-inhibitor VPC23019 and obtained very ...

Objective: To determine the effect of renal denervation (RDN) on the severity of atherosclerosis and aortic aneurysm in hypertensive mice. Methods: Hypertension, atherosclerosis and aortic aneurysm were induced by subcutaneous infusion of angiotensin II (1 µg/kg/min) for 28 days in apolipoprotein E-deficient mice. RDN was conducted using combined surgical and local chemical denervation. The norepinephrine concentration in the kidney was measured by high-performance liquid chromatography. Blood pressure was measured by the tail-cuff method. Atherosclerosis was assessed by Sudan IV staining of the aortic arch. The aortic diameter was measured by the morphometric method. The mRNA expression of genes associated with atherosclerosis and aortic aneurysm were analyzed by quantitative PCR. Results: RDN decreased the median norepinephrine content in the kidney by 93.4% (n=5-7, P=0.003) five days after the procedure, indicating that the RDN procedure was successful. RDN decreased systolic blood pressure in

Following kainate lesions of hippocampal subfield CA3, the remaining CA 1 pyramidal cells become hyperexcitable. This lesion is of interest because, morphologically, it resembles the damage often seen in cases of temporal lobe epilepsy; it may provide insight into the consequences of such cell loss in humans. The hyperexcitability in CA 1 is associated with a loss of both early and late IPSPs. At long postlesion latencies (2-4 months) inhibition shows partial recovery and the hyperexcitability subsides. The intent of the present work was to determine if alterations in CA 1 excitability and functional inhibition postlesion are correlated with changes in morphologic and physiologic indicators of inhibitory interneuron function or with alterations in binding sites for inhibitory transmitters. Using GAD immunocytochemistry, we found no acute or chronic lesion-induced decrease in numbers of CA 1 interneurons or in qualitative characteristics of the pericellular distribution of their terminals in CA 1 ...

Renal denervation (RDN) represents a device-based hypertension treatment intended to lower sympathetic activity. Only a few years ago, RDN was written off as ineffective after results of the sham-controlled SYMPLICITY HTN-3 trial failed to confirm early trials reports of significant BP reductions in patients resistant to guideline- based combination drug therapy.

  • In renal denervation, the procedure involves using radio frequency or ultrasound to remove sympathetic nerve supply to the wall of the kidney with the intention of reducing blood pressure and treating chronic hypertension . (wikipedia.org)
