[Method] The microwave which was transmitted by the permatron and was 2 450 MHz was used to simulate the microwave radiation source to radiate the hatching eggs until the chickling was hatched out. The disposable passive avoidance learning and RT-PCR were respectively used to detect the influences of microwave on the cognitive function of chickling and the expression amounts of NMDA receptor NR1 and NR2 subunits. [Result] After the microwave radiation,the avoidance rate of exposed group was significantly lower than that in the control group. Especially the avoidance rate of highest radiation intensity group was extremely significantly lower than that in the control group. Meanwhile,the body weights of two groups of chickling in the exposed group increased,and the hatching time in one group increased. Via RT-PCR analysis,the expression amount of NR2 subunit increased on the 10th day and the 15th day. The expression amount of NR1 subunit only decreased on the 15th day. [Conclusion] The microwave had the certain influence on the individual development. By changing the structure composition and function of NMDA receptor in the endbrain,the microwave made the self-regulation ability of chickling decline,which had the certain damage on the cognitive function.展开更多

Methods The mRNA of NR1 subunit of NMDA receptor in modiolus tissues were detected by Real time fluorescence quantitative PCR (FQ-PCR). NMDA receptor whole-cell currents were recorded using patch clamp in acute isolated SGNs. Results Compared with the control group, salicylate significantly increased the mRNA level of NR1 subunit in SGNs. NMDA of concentrations ranging from 0.1 mM to 10 mM evoked no current in SGNs. NMDA (0. 1mM and 0.5 mM) applied with salicylate (5 mM), however, induced inward currents (212.6±15.2pA, n=5; 607.9±44.3pA, n=5) in a dose-dependent manner, which could be inhibited by APV. Salicylate alone did not produce any current in SGNs. Conclusion Salicylate increases the expression of NMDA receptors and facilitates the currents mediated by NMDA receptors in SGNs.展开更多
