Effect of cerebrolysin on oxidative stress-induced apoptosis in an experimental rat model of myocardial ischemia.

Physiology international
Apoptosis plays a role in the process of tissue damage after myocardial infarction (MI). This study was designed to investigate the possible effect of cerebrolysin against apoptosis triggered by oxidative cell stress in myocardial ischemia induced by...

A simple standard technique for labyrinthectomy in the rat: A methodical communication with a detailed description of the surgical process.

Physiology international
Aims Labyrinthectomized rats are suitable models to test consequences of vestibular lesion and are widely used to study neural plasticity. We describe a combined microsurgical-chemical technique that can be routinely performed with minimum damage. Me...

Teaching Adult Rats Spinalized as Neonates to Walk Using Trunk Robotic Rehabilitation: Elements of Success, Failure, and Dependence.

The Journal of neuroscience : the official journal of the Society for Neuroscience
UNLABELLED: Robot therapy promotes functional recovery after spinal cord injury (SCI) in animal and clinical studies. Trunk actions are important in adult rats spinalized as neonates (NTX rats) that walk autonomously. Quadrupedal robot rehabilitation...

Sichuan da xue xue bao. Yi xue ban = Journal of Sichuan University. Medical science edition
OBJECTIVES: To investigate the effects of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) on arthritis and the expressions of inflammatory cytokines and cartilage damage related proteases of the collagen-induced arthritis model (CIA) rats .

[Prophylactic administration of all-trans retinoic acid alleviates inflammation in rats with collagen-induced arthritis].

Nan fang yi ke da xue xue bao = Journal of Southern Medical University
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of prophylactic administration of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) in relieving inflammation in a rat model of collagen-induced arthritis (CIA).

Goal-Directed Decision Making with Spiking Neurons.

The Journal of neuroscience : the official journal of the Society for Neuroscience
UNLABELLED: Behavioral and neuroscientific data on reward-based decision making point to a fundamental distinction between habitual and goal-directed action selection. The formation of habits, which requires simple updating of cached values, has been...

Schwann Cell and Axon: An Interlaced Unit-From Action Potential to Phenotype Expression.

Advances in experimental medicine and biology
Here we propose a model of a peripheral axon with a great deal of autonomy from its cell body-the autonomous axon-but with a substantial dependence on its ensheathing Schwann cell (SC), the axon-SC unit. We review evidence in several fields and show ...

The safety assessment of saffron (Crocus sativus L.) on sympathovagal balance and heart rate variability; a comparison with amiodarone.

Autonomic & autacoid pharmacology
Dry stigmas of the Crocus sativus L. (Saffron) are well known in world as a popular flavouring and therapeutic agent. The anxiolytic, antidepressant, anticonvulsant and antiarrhythmic effects of saffron suggest that it may affect the autonomic contro...
