Electrophysiological and in vivo microdialysis were used to investigate compare the effect of tonic activation serotonin2C/2B (5-HT2C/2B) receptors on nigrostriatal mesolimbic dopaminergic (DA) function. Thus, extracellular single unit recordings neurochemically-identified DA neurons SNc VTA, as well simultaneous monitoring striatal accumbal release performed following administration unselective 5-HT2C/2B agonists, mCPP (m-chlorophenylpiperazine) MK 212...
Background: Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) remains a significant and complex complication following total hip knee arthroplasty. This study aims to design, validate, assess machine learning (ML) model for predicting the likelihood of PJI in individuals undergoing revision arthroplasty procedures. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients who underwent or between 1 January 2015 31 March 2021. Data were collected from preoperative clinical histories, laboratory results,...
Abstract The effects of acute and repeated nicotine administration on the extracellular levels dopamine (DA) in corpus striatum nucleus accumbens were studied conscious, freely moving rats by vivo microdialysis. Acute intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection (1 mg/kg) increased DA outflow both accumbens. Repeated daily mg/kg, i.p.) for 10 consecutive days caused a significant increase basal challenge with animals treated repeatedly this drug enhanced brain areas. However, effect was potentiated...
Abstract Primary cultures of cerebellar granule neurons (CGNs) were prepared from 8‐day‐old Wistar rats, and maintained in an appropriate medium containing a high (25 mM) concentration KCl. To induce apoptosis, culture was replaced with serum‐free (containing 5 mM KCl) 8 days after plating. Apoptosis measured by the terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase‐mediated dUTP‐fluorescein nick end‐labeling (TUNEL) method, flow cytometry. Since there is evidence that increased formation reactive oxygen...
In vivo electrophysiological techniques were used to study the effect of nicotine on basal activity dopamine (DA)-containing neurons in substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc) and ventral tegmental area (VTA) chloral hydrate-anesthetized rats. Acute i.v. injections (25-400 microg/kg) caused a dose-dependent increase firing rate bursting DA both SNc VTA. Repeated daily injection (1 mg/kg i.p.) for 10 consecutive days did not cause any significant change challenge with microg/kg i.v.) animals...
