The Human Rights Record of the United States in 2008

The State Department of the United States released its Country Reports on Human Rights Practices for 2008 on February 25, 2009. As in previous years, the reports are full of accusations of the human rights situation in more than 190 countries and regions including China, but mentioned nothing of the widespread human rights abuses on its own territory. The Human Rights Record of the United States in 2008 is prepared to help people around the world understand the real situation of human rights in the United States, and as a reminder for the United States to reflect upon its own issues.

Human Rights Record of the United States in 2012

The State Department of the United States recently released its Country Reports on Human Rights Practices for 2012, posing as ＂the world judge of human rights＂ again. As in previous years, the reports are full of carping and irresponsible remarks on the human rights situa tion in more than 190 countries and regions including China. However, the U.S. turned a blind eye to its own woeful human rights situation and never said a word about it. Facts show that there are serious human rights problems in the U.S. which incur extensive criticism in the world. The Human Rights Record of the U.S. in 2012 is hereby prepared to reveal the true human rights situation of the U.S. to people across the world by simply laying down some facts.

Behind the Statue of Liberty——Human Rights Record of the United States of America in 2001

The US Sate Department has always professed to be a "Judge of Human Rights in the World." Year upon year, it issues country-specific human rights reports, accusing more than 190 countries and regions, including China, of their human fights conditions. Yet it tums a blind eye to its own. It is just behind the "Statue of Liberty’" that hides serious infringements upon human rights.

Human Rights Record of the United States in 2010

The State Department of the United States released its Country Reports on Human Rights Practices for 2010 onApril 8, 2011. As in previous years, the reports are full of distortions and accusations of the human rights situation in more than 190 countries and regions including China.

Responses of Primary Afferent Fibers to Acupuncture-Like Peripheral Stimulation at Different Frequencies:Characterization by Single-Unit Recording in Rats

The pain-relieving effect of acupuncture is known to involve primary afferent nerves(PANs) via their roles in signal transmission to the CNS.Using single-unit recording in rats,we characterized the generation and transmission of electrical signals in Aβ and Aδ fibers induced by acupuncture-like stimuli.Acupuncture-like signals were elicited in PANs using three techniques:manual acupuncture(MAc),emulated acupuncture(EAc),and electro-acupuncture(EA)-like peripheral electrical stimulation(PES).The discharges evoked by MAc and EAc were mostly in a burst pattern with average intra-burst and inter-burst firing rates of 90 Hz and 2 Hz,respectively.The frequency of discharges in PANs was correlated with the frequency of PES.The highest discharge frequency was 246 Hz in Aβ fibers and 180 Hz in Aδ fibers.Therefore,EA in a dense-disperse mode(at alternating frequency between 2 Hz and 15 Hz or between 2 Hz and 100 Hz) best mimics MAc.Frequencies of EA output>250 Hz appear to be obsolete for pain relief.

Effects of pallidal neurotensin on haloperidol-induced parkinsonian catalepsy: behavioral and electrophysiological studies

Objective The globus pallidus plays a critical role in movement regulation. Previous studies have indicated that the globus pallidus receives neurotensinergic innervation from the striatum, and systemic administration of a neurotensin analog could produce antiparkinsonian effects. The present study aimed to investigate the effects of pallidal neurotensin on haloperidol-induced parkinsonian symptoms. Methods Behavioral experiments and electrophysiological recordings were performed in the present study. Results Bilateral infusions of neurotensin into the globus pallidus reversed haloperidolinduced parkinsonian catalepsy in rats. Electrophysiological recordings showed that microinjection of neurotensin induced excitation of pallidal neurons in the presence of systemic haloperidol administration. The neurotensin type-1 receptor antagonist SR48692 blocked both the behavioral and the electrophysiological effects induced by neurotensin. Conclusion Activation of pallidal neurotensin receptors may be involved in neurotensin-induced antiparkinsonian effects.

Modulation of firing activity by endogenous GABA_A receptors in the globus pallidus of MPTP-treated parkinsonian mice

The globus pallidus in rodents,equivalent to the external segment of the globus pallidus in primates,plays an important role in movement regulation.Previous studies have shown abundant γ-aminobutyric acid（GABA）ergic innervation and GABAA receptors in the globus pallidus.In this study,we investigated the effects of endogenous GABAA receptors on the spontaneous firing activity of pallidal neurons in both normal and MPTP-treated mice using multi-barrel electrodes extracellular recordings in vivo.We found that in normal mice,pressure ejection of 0.1 mmol/L gabazine,a specific GABA A receptor antagonist,increased the spontaneous firing rate of globus pallidus neurons by 27.6 ± 5.6%.Furthermore,in MPTP mice（14 days after MPTP treatment）,0.1 mmol/L gabazine increased the firing rates by 51.0 ± 7.9%,significantly greater than in normal mice.These results suggest that endogenous GABAA receptors modulate the activity of globus pallidus neurons.The present findings may provide a rationale for investigations into the potential role of GABAA receptors in Parkinson’s disease.
