高压氧不同给氧时机对豚鼠听觉声损伤防治效果的观察

将四组豚鼠在125dBSPL,1KHz强声中暴露3小时。一组动物于声暴露前后吸空气作为对照组。其余三组动物吸2ATA高压氧(HBO),每次30分钟。其中于声暴露前吸1次者为预防组;于声暴露后连续吸14天次者为治疗组;于声暴露前吸1次,声后吸14天次者为HBO防治组。声暴露后,各组动物短声诱发皮层听区电位听阈上升。对照组听力损失最重,达70dB;预防组和防治组仅损失53dB和51dB(同对照组比P<0.01);治疗组损失68.5dB。短纯音测昕结果与此类似。对照组耳蜗病理损伤长度平均为527μm;预防组和防治组分别为142μm和106μm(P<0.05);治疗组为295μm。由此可以认为HBO对声损伤具有显著的预防作用。 文中讨论了高压氧的预防机理及其治疗作用

吗啡诱导大鼠穿梭觅药状态下内侧前额皮层边缘前区遥测脑电小波包提取及熵分析

本研究旨在研究内侧前额皮质(medial prefrontal cortex,m PFC)边缘前区(prelimbic cortical area,PL)遥测脑电的特征性改变与觅药行为之间的关系。将PL区埋藏脑立体定位电极的大鼠分成手术对照组和吗啡诱导组,后者制作吗啡诱导条件性位置偏爱(conditioned place preference,CPP)模型。利用CPP视频系统结合脑电无线遥测技术,记录两组大鼠在黑-白箱穿梭和白-黑箱穿梭时大鼠PL区实时脑电,采用小波包提取、Welch谱功率算法、归一化幅值和Shannon熵分析技术,对所测原始脑电波进行综合分析。结果显示,与手术对照组比较,吗啡诱导CPP组大鼠黑-白箱穿梭潜伏期,左侧PL区小波提取脑电各频段平均波幅减小,脑电成分在10~50 Hz频段Welch谱功率强度显著增加(P0.01或P0.05),脑电β、γ1、γ2波Shannon熵值升高(P0.01或P0.05),平均信息熵降低(P0.01)。上述结果提示,吗啡诱导CPP组大鼠黑-白箱穿梭时,左侧PL区脑电各频段大幅波减少,脑电10~50 Hz频率Welch谱功率强度增加,β、γ1和γ2波Shannon熵值升高;这些变化可能与大鼠觅药意识的形成和即将发动的觅药行为产生有关。     

外源性重组人睫状神经营养因子抑制成人成肌细胞的体外分化

为探讨外源性重组人睫状神经营养因子(rhCNTF)在成肌细胞分化中的作用,实验观察了0-10 ng/mlrhCNTF对成人成肌细胞体外分化的影响。结果表明,与对照组相比,2.5-10 ng/ml rhCNTF能显著抑制成肌细胞的体外分化(P<0.01),并呈量-效依赖关系,且这种抑制作用是可逆的。Western Blot分析提示,这种抑制作用伴有成肌细胞分化期特异标志myogenin和p21表达量的显著降低(P<0.01),以及成肌细胞增殖期特异标志myf5和desmin表达量的显著增加(P<0.01)。因此可以认为,外源性rhCNTF能可逆地抑制成人成肌细胞的体外分化并保持增殖。     

Changes in the Frequency Structure of a Mating Call Decrease Its Attractiveness to Females in the Cricket Frog Acris crepitans blanchardi

In many species, females often prefer male signals that are more complex than in nature or beyond the range of calls naturally produced by conspecific males in spectral, temporal and amplitude features. In this study we examined both the ability of females to recognize signals outside the normal range of spectral frequency variation seen in male advertisement calls, and the influence of increasing call complexity by adding spectral components to enhance the attractiveness of a male advertisement call in the cricket frog Acris crepitans blanchardi, while keeping its amplitude constant. We used two different natural male call groups and created the following synthetic call groups: with a dominant frequency at 3500 Hz, i.e. at the normal dominant frequency with a frequency band within the sensitivity range of the inner ear basilar papilla; with a dominant frequency at 700 Hz, i.e. outside the normal range of variation and with a frequency band outside the sensitivity range of the basilar papilla but within the range of the amphibian papilla; with two dominant frequencies, one at 700 Hz and another at 3500 Hz, stimulating the basilar and amphibian papilla simultaneously. In double choice experiments we tested all combinations of the three call groups, and we tested the 3500 Hz call groups against the same natural call groups. Additionally, we tested the 700 Hz call groups against white noise to see whether these signals are meaningful in mate choice. Females preferred 3500 Hz call groups over all other call groups. The synthetic call group was as attractive to females as the same natural call group. The 700 Hz call group was not meaningful in mate choice. The combined (700 Hz + 3500 Hz) call group was significantly less attractive to females than the 3500 Hz call group. Thus, making a call more spectrally complex without increasing its overall amplitude decreases its attractiveness to cricket frog females.     

Spectral and temporal gating mechanisms enhance the clutter rejection in the echolocating bat,Rhinolophus rouxi

Summary Doppler shift compensation behaviour in horseshoe bats, Rhinolophus rouxi, was used to test the interference of pure tones and narrow band noise with compensation performance. The distortions in Doppler shift compensation to sinusoidally frequency shifted echoes (modulation frequency: 0.1 Hz, maximum frequency shift: 3 kHz) consisted of a reduced compensation amplitude and/or a shift of the emitted frequency to lower frequencies (Fig. 1).Pure tones at frequencies between 200 and 900 Hz above the bat's resting frequency (RF) disturbed the Doppler shift compensation, with a maximum of intererence between 400 and 550 Hz (Fig. 2). Minimum duration of pure tones for interference was 20 ms and durations above 40 ms were most effective (Fig. 3). Interfering pure tones arriving later than about 10 ms after the onset of the echolocation call showed markedly reduced interference (Fig. 4). Doppler shift compensation was affected by pure tones at the optimum interfering frequency with sound pressure levels down to –48 dB rel the intensity level of the emitted call (Figs. 5, 6).Narrow bandwidth noise (bandwidth from ± 100 Hz to ± 800 Hz) disturbed Doppler shift compensation at carrier frequencies between –250 Hz below and 800 Hz above RF with a maximum of interference between 250 and 500 Hz above resting frequency (Fig. 7). The duration and delay of the noise had similar influences on interference with Doppler shift compensation as did pure tones (Figs. 8, 9). Intensity dependence for noise interference was more variable than for pure tones (-32 dB to -45 dB rel emitted sound pressure level, Fig. 10).The temporal and spectral gating in Doppler shift compensation behaviour is discussed as an effective mechanism for clutter rejection by improving the processing of frequency and amplitude transients in the echoes of horseshoe bats.Abbreviations CF constant frequency - FM frequency modulation - RF resting frequency - SPL sound pressure level

Ag-AgCl electrode noise in high-resolution ECG measurements

The authors measured the noise and impedance from face-to-face Ag-AgCl electrode pairs, as well as the noise from Ag-AgCl electrodes placed on the human body surface, in the frequency band from 0.5 Hz to 500 Hz, which corresponds to high-resolution ECG measurements. Electrode noise and electrode impedance were measured simultaneously to compare electrode noise with the thermal noise from the real part of electrode impedance. The results show that electrode noise depends on electrode area, electrolytic gel, the patient, and the placement site. In the frequency band from 0.5 Hz to 500 Hz, root-mean-square electrode noise is typically less than 1 microV for electrodes placed face-to-face and ranges from 1 microV to 15 microV for electrodes on the body surface. The noise spectral density increases at low frequencies as 1/fa and it is always higher than the thermal noise from the real part of the electrode impedance. There is a high correlation between electrode dc offset voltage and electrode noise. Thus, offset voltage measurements allow identification of noise from low-noise electrodes.     

Baseline gamma activity EEG and induced responses to facial stimuli of the visual cognitive set

Power spectra of cortical potentials of baseline activity during interstimuli intervals (4 s; Fourier transform in the frequency band of 1-60 Hz) and short-term (0.8 s) induced responses to facial stimuli (wavelet transform in the 15-60 Hz band) were assessed in the study of the visual cognitive set to facial expression. Significant differences between groups of subjects with different set rigidity were observed only at the set-testing stage. Estimation of the short-term (0.8 s) induced responses of the wavelet spectra in the group with plastic set revealed an increase in the power (in comparison with the power of background activity) of the gamma2 band (41-60 Hz) in the left hemisphere of the temporal, central and occipital areas, whereas in the group with rigid set these power spectra decreased. At the same time the power in the gamma1 band (21-40 Hz) was significantly lower (at the same level with the rigid form), indicating a discrete nature and functional selectivity in the gamma frequency band.     

噪声对鼠脑内5-羟色胺(5-HT)代谢的影响

Sounds of shallow water fishes pitch within the quiet window of the habitat ambient noise

The habitat ambient noise may exert an important selective pressure on frequencies used in acoustic communication by animals. A previous study demonstrated the presence of a match between the low-frequency quiet region of the stream ambient noise (termed ‘quiet window’) and the main frequencies used for sound production and hearing by two stream gobies (Padogobius bonelli, Gobius nigricans). The present study examines the spectral features of ambient noise in very shallow freshwater, brackish and marine habitats and correlates them to the range of dominant frequencies of sounds used by nine species of Mediterranean gobies reproducing in these environments. Ambient noise spectra of these habitats featured a low-frequency quiet window centered at 100 Hz (stream, sandy/rocky sea shore), or at 200 Hz (spring, brackish lagoon). The analysis of the ambient noise/sound spectrum relationships showed the sound frequencies matched the frequency band of the quiet window in the ambient noise typical of their own habitat. Analogous ambient noise/sound frequency relationships were observed in other shallow-water teleosts living in similar underwater environments. Conclusions may be relevant to the understanding of evolution of fish acoustic communication and hearing.     

Piezoelectric-excited millimeter-sized cantilever (PEMC) sensors detect Bacillus anthracis at 300 spores/mL

Piezoelectric-excited millimeter-sized cantilever (PEMC) sensors consisting of a piezoelectric and a borosilicate glass layer with a sensing area of 2.48 mm2 were fabricated. Antibody specific to Bacillus anthracis (BA, Sterne strain 7702) spores was immobilized on PEMC sensors, and exposed to spores (300 to 3x10(6) spores/mL). The resonant frequency decreased at a rate proportional to the spore concentration and reached a steady state frequency change of 5+/-5 Hz (n=3), 92+/-7 Hz (n=3), 500+/-10 Hz (n=3), 1030+/-10 Hz (n=2), and 2696+/-6 Hz (n=2) corresponding to 0, 3x10(2), 3x10(3), 3x10(4), and 3x10(6) spores/mL, respectively. The reduction in resonant frequency is proportional to the change in cantilever mass, and thus the observed changes are due to the attachment of spores on the sensor surface. Selectivity of the antibody-functionalized sensor was determined with samples of BA (3x10(6)/mL) mixed with Bacillus thuringiensis (BT; 1.5x10(9)/mL) in various volume ratios that yielded BA:BT ratios of 1:0, 1:125, 1:250, 1:500 and 0:1. The corresponding resonance frequency decreases were, respectively, 2345, 1980, 1310, 704 and 10 Hz. Sample containing 100% BT spores (1.5x10(9)/mL and no BA) gave a steady state frequency decrease of 10 Hz, which is within noise level of the sensor, indicating excellent selectivity. The observed binding rate constant for the pure BA and BT-containing samples ranged from 0.105 to 0.043 min-1 in the spore concentration range 300 to 3x10(6)/mL. These results show that detection of B. anthracis spore at a very low concentration (300 spores/mL) and with high selectivity in presence of another Bacillus spore (BT) can be accomplished using piezoelectric-excited millimeter-sized cantilever sensors.     

Combined effects of vibration and noise on palmar sweating in healthy subjects

The combined effects of vibration and noise on palmar sweating were studied experimentally in healthy subjects. Ten subjects were exposed to vibration at an acceleration of 100 m.sec-2 root mean square at a frequency of 125 Hz, a noise level of 105 dB(A) at a frequency of 1000 Hz and both stimuli together. Vibration was applied to the right hand and noise to both ears from headphones. Palmar sweating was measured by the ventilated capsule method. Vibration caused a marked increase in palmar sweating of the right hand directly exposed to vibration and also of the left hand not exposed to vibration. Simultaneous vibration and noise caused a greater increase in palmar sweating than by each of the factors separately. The combined effects tended to be greater in subjects who were more susceptible to vibration or noise.
