The NRSiO2 NPs [about （45 ± 3） nm] were prepared with water-in-oil （W/O） microemulsion method, and characterized by transmission electron microscope （TEM） technique. The neutral red （NR） doped in silica network could maintain its high electroactivity and behave as an excellent electron mediator for electrocatalysis of hydrogen dioxide. Furthermore, the silica surface could prevent the leakage of NR, hence, the stability of biosensor was improved. The novel Glu biosensor showed a linear range from 5.0×10^-7 to 1.5×10^-4 mol/L, with a detection limit of 2.0×10^-7 mol/L （S/N=3）.展开更多

The afferent projection neurons of the marginal division were in the lateral part of the substantia nigra and its dorsolateral area, including the peripeduncular nucleus and posterior intralaminar nucleus. Using double labeling technique, we observed that some HRP and substance P(SP), cholecystokinin (CCk), neurotensin (NT),leucine-enkephalin (L-Enk),or tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) double labeled neurons were observed in the above regions.It is suggested that these affterent projection neurons of the marginal division may be associated with the function of sensation,memory and movement.展开更多

Long-term synaptic plasticity has been widely studied in different species recently. However, there are rare reports about the short-term synaptic plasticity in neostratium. In the present study, using field excitatory postsynaptic potentials recording, we reported one form of short-term synaptic plasticity that is paired pulse depression in juvenile rat dorsal striatum slices induced by stimuli of the white matter. The field excitatory postsynaptic potentials could be abolished by α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methylizoxazole-4-propionic acid receptor antagonist, 6-cyano-7-nitroquinoxaline-2,3-dione, but not by gamma-aminobutyric acid type A receptor antagonist bicuculline or dopamine D1 receptor antagonist SKF-81297. The paired pulse depression in the corticostratial pathway was different from paired pulse facilitation in the hippocampal CA1 synapse. In addition, the paired pulse depression was not affected by bath application of gamma-aminobutyric acid type A receptor antagonist or dopamine D1 receptor antagonist. However, low calcium and high magnesium could attenuate the paired pulse depression. These findings suggest a more complicated plasticity form in the dorsal striatum of juvenile rats that is different from that in the hippocampus, which is related with extracellular calcium.展开更多

Initial time of convulsion, severity of convulsion and survival time of rats with convulsion exposed to 700 kPa hyperbaric oxygen after intraperitoneal injection of cysteamine (CSH) or intracerebroventricular injection of anti-somatostatin serum(ASS) were also observed. The results showed that the content of SS in hippocampus and striatum tissues increased remarkably when rats were at near-convulsion ; by the time the rats developed convulsion,it had a significant increase in all brain areas observed. Intraperitoneal injection of CSH or intracerebroventricular injection of ASS could delay initial time of convulsion (ITC),prolong survival time (ST) and reduce severity of convulsion (SOC). These results suggest that SS might play a role in oxygen-induced convulsion and be one of the endogenous agents which caused oxygeninduced convulsion.展开更多
