Abstract

The amyloid beta (Aβ) induced Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is associated with formation the amyloid plaques, cognitive impairments and decline in spontaneous discharge of neurons. In the current study, we evaluated the effect of subcutaneous (S. C) and intrahippocampal (I. H) administrations of triiodothyronine (T3) on the histological changes, memory and the dentate gyrus (DG) electrophysiological activity in an animal model of AD. Eighty adult male Wistar rats (250–300 g) were divided randomly into five groups: Sham-Operated (Sh-O), AD + Vehicle (S. C), AD + Vehicle (I. H), AD+ T3 (S. C) and AD + T3 (I. H). In order to induce animal model of AD, Aβ (10 ng/μl, bilaterally) were injected intrahippocampally. Rats were treated with T3 and/or normal saline for 10 days. Passive avoidance and spatial memory were evaluated in shuttle box apparatus and Morris water maze, respectively. Neuronal single unit recording was assessed from hippocampal DG. The percent of total time that animals spent in target quarter, the mean latency time (sec), the step through latency and the average number of spikes/bin were decreased significantly in AD rats compared with the Sh-O group (p < 0.001) and were increased significantly in AD groups that have received T3 (S. C and I. H) in compared with AD group (p < 0.01, p < 0.001). Also, formation of amyloid plaques was decreased in AD rats treated with T3.
The results showed that T3 injection (S. C and I. H), by reduction of neural damage and increment of neuronal spontaneous activity improved the memory deficits in Aβ-induced AD rats.

Kaum Vorteile durch intraarterielle Lyse während Thrombektomie

Nach der Thrombektomie kleinere Fragmente über eine intraarterielle Lyse auflösen – dies könnte die Schlaganfalltherapie verbessern. Zwei aktuelle Studien ergeben für die periprozedurale Lyse jedoch keine großen Vorteile. Die Frage, wie viel sie nützt, bleibt weiter offen.

Nasenstimulation lindert chronische Migräne

Wird die Naseninnenseite durch Vibrationen stimuliert, kann dies offenbar die Zahl der Migränetage von Menschen mit chronischer Migräne deutlich senken. Darauf deuten die Resultate einer randomisiert-kontrollierten deutsch-finnischen Untersuchung.

Stumme Schlaganfälle − ein häufiger Nebenbefund im Kopf-CT?

In 4% der in der Notfallambulanz initiierten zerebralen Bildgebung sind „alte“ Schlaganfälle zu erkennen. Gar nicht so selten handelt es sich laut einer aktuellen Studie dabei um unbemerkte Insulte. Bietet sich hier womöglich die Chance auf ein effektives opportunistisches Screening?

Die elektronische Patientenakte kommt: Das sollten Sie jetzt wissen

Am 15. Januar geht die „ePA für alle“ zunächst in den Modellregionen an den Start. Doch schon bald soll sie in allen Praxen zum Einsatz kommen. Was ist jetzt zu tun? Was müssen Sie wissen? Wir geben in einem FAQ Antworten auf 21 Fragen.
