用园窗法记录的豚鼠听觉早潜伏期40Hz相关电位

采用适宜的参数,从豚鼠园窗记录出一种新的听觉４０Ｈｚ相关电位,它不同于Ｇａｌａｍｂｏｓ提出的听觉中潜伏期４０Ｈｚ相关电位。通过不同部位引导的对比观察,对该电位的基本特征、影响因素及其可能发生机理进行了初步探讨,结果显示４０ＨｚＡＥＲＰ－ＥＬＲ波形稳定,振幅高,频率响应好,反应阈值低。在０．５ｋＨｚ短纯音的反应阈值为１３．７５ｄＢｎＨＬ,较颅顶的听觉中潜伏期４０Ｈｚ相关电位低３５ｄＢｎＨＬ。

胃电的非线性动力学分析

我们用非线性动力学的方法分析了两例健康人的胃电图（Ｅｌｅｃｔｒｏｇａｓｔｒｏｇｒａｍ,简称ＥＧＧ）,得出它的功率谱、计算了它的关联维数和最大Ｌｙａｐｕｎｏｖ指数。结果显示：它的功率谱为一有尖峰的连续谱;其关联维数介于６和７之间;它的最大Ｌｖａａｕｎｏｖ指数大于０。由此,我们可以初步推知ＥＧＧ不是随机噪声,它服从确定性的动力学规律。

神经肌接头上产生持续性去极化时小终板电位的变化

实验在大鼠膈肌标本上观察梭曼处理后,终板区持续性去极化（ｓｕｓｔａｉｎｅｄｄｅｐｏｌａｒｉｚａｔｉｏｎ,ＳＤ）产生时小终板电位（ＭＥＰＰ）的变化,以分析产生ＳＤ的机理。静息时,加入５．５μｍｏｌ／Ｌ梭曼后,ＭＥＰＰ的频率、幅度和下降时间常数分别是加药前的１．８,１．３和３．０倍（Ｐ＜０．０１）。间接强直刺激时,记录到ＳＤ,ＳＤ过程中不仅终板电位消失,ＭＥＰＰ也完全消失。ＳＤ之后一定时间ＭＥＰＰ恢复出现,然后其频率逐渐增高。从ＳＤ开始到ＭＥＰＰ明显恢复的时间与强直刺激参数有关,５０Ｈｚ×１ｓ和５０Ｈｚ×０．１ｓ强直刺激时,分别为２９．７±０．７ｓ和１１．７±３．０ｓ。结果表明,在乙酰胆碱酯酶活性被抑制后,静息时突触前自发ＡＣｈ释放增加;刺激神经时,突触后对ＡＣｈ反应性降低甚至失去反应性,是产生ＳＤ的主要机理。     

具有竞争指针的短时记忆神经网络模型

在我们以前提出的短时记忆神经网络模型基础上［３］,我们在新模型中引入突触竞争机制,提出了一个新的短时记忆神经网络模型。模型仍由两个神经网络所组成;其一为与长时记忆共有的信息内容表达网络,另一个为指针神经元环路。由于表达区神经元与指针神经元间的突触权重的竞争,使得模型可以表现出由干扰引起的短时记忆的遗忘。相应于自由回忆序列位置效应和汉字组块两个心理学实验,对模型做了计算机仿真。仿真结果显示模型的行为与两个心理实验定量地符合得很好。由此表明现在的模型更合适于作为短时记忆的模型。     

短时记忆的神经网络模型

提出一个带有指针环路的短时记忆神经网络模型,模型包含两个神经网络,其中一个是与长时记忆共有的存贮内容表达网络,另一个为短时指针神经元环路,由于指针环路仅作为记忆内容的临时指针,因此,仅用很少的存贮单元即可完成各种短时记忆任务,计算机仿真证明,本模型确能表现出短时记忆的存贮容量有限和组块编码两个基本特征。     

低、高频电针诱导原癌基因c－fos／c－jun和阿片肽基因表达及其关系的比较研究

本工作对低频（２Ｈｚ）和高频（１００Ｈｚ）电针引起大鼠中枢Ｆｏｓ／Ｊｕｎ表达和三类阿片肽基因表达进行了详细的比较研究,并用针对ｃ－ｆｏｓ／ｃ－ｊｕｎ的反义寡核苷酸（ＯＤＮｓ）对电针引起的Ｆｏｓ／Ｊｕｎ表达进行选择性阻断,然后观察阿片肽基因表达是否受到影响,以确定Ｆｏｓ／Ｊｕｎ复合物在电针引起阿片肽基因表达中的作用。主要结果如下：（１）２Ｈｚ和１００Ｈｚ电针引起脑内不同部位的Ｆｏｓ／Ｊｕｎ表达;（２）２Ｈｚ电针使前脑啡肽原（ＰＰＥ）ｍＲＮＡ表达大幅度增高,１００Ｈｚ电针也能增加ＰＰＥｍＲＮＡ的转录,但不如２Ｈｚ电针的作用显著;但１００Ｈｚ电针能使某些脑区的前强啡肽原（ＰＰＤ）基因转录加速,而２Ｈｚ电针没有这一作用;（３）用ｃ－ｆｏｓ／ｃ－ｊｕｎ反义ＯＤＮｓ特异地阻断Ｆｏｓ／Ｊｕｎ表达后,电针引起的ＰＰＤ转录加速被明显阻断,而ＰＰＥ表达不受影响。提示Ｆｏｓ／Ｊｕｎ是电针引起ＰＰＤ（而非ＰＰＥ）基因表达的转录因子。

Simulation of Gamma Rhythms in Networks of Interneurons and Pyramidal Cells

Networks of hippocampal interneurons, with pyramidal neuronspharmacologically disconnected, can generate gamma-frequency(20 Hz and above) oscillations. Experiments and models have shownhow the network frequency depends on excitation of the interneurons,and on the parameters of GABA_{{\rm A}}-mediated IPSCs betweenthe interneurons (conductance and time course). Herewe use network simulations to investigate how pyramidal cells, connected tothe interneurons and to each other throughAMPA-type and/or NMDA-type glutamatereceptors, might modify the interneuron network oscillation. With orwithout AMPA-receptor mediated excitation of the interneurons, the pyramidal cells and interneurons fired in phaseduring the gamma oscillation. Synaptic excitation of the interneuronsby pyramidal cellscaused them to fire spike doublets or short bursts at gammafrequencies, thereby slowing the population rhythm.Rhythmic synchronized IPSPs allowed the pyramidal cells toencode their mean excitation by their phase of firing relativeto the population waves.Recurrent excitation between the pyramidal cells couldmodify the phase of firing relative to the population waves.Our model suggests that pools of synaptically interconnectedinhibitory cells are sufficient to produce gamma frequency rhythms,but the network behavior can be modified by participation ofpyramidal cells.     

Inhibition of pentylenetetrazole-induced seizure in mice by using a 4 Hz magnetic field: a comparative study with a 60 Hz magnetic field

We investigated the comparative effects of 4 and 60 Hz magnetic fields on pentylenetetrazole (PTZ)-induced seizure in mice. For this study, we measured the latent time to seizure, seizure duration, and lethality induced by PTZ in mice exposed to 4 and 60 Hz magnetic fields (MF) for 30 min. Compared to sham-exposed controls, the latent time to tail twitching and seizure in the 4 Hz MF group was significantly decreased while the latent time to seizure in the 60 Hz MF group was significantly increased. The seizure duration in the 4 Hz MF group was significantly decreased while that in the 60 Hz MF group was significantly increased. More importantly, while the mice exposed to a 60 Hz MF experienced significantly increased lethality after seizure convulsion, those exposed to a 4 Hz MF showed no lethality, with a shortening of the duration of seizure. This beneficial effect of a 4 Hz MF on seizure has the same implication as the anti-oxidative effects of a 4 Hz MF observed in our previous work. The results of our current and previous works indicate that a 4 Hz MF may be used as a therapeutic physical agent for the treatment of oxidative stress-induced diseases, including seizure, with or without chemical drugs.     

Study of high- and low-current-configuration homes from the 1988 Denver Childhood Cancer Study

An epidemiological study conducted by Savitz et al. reported that residential wire codes were more strongly associated with childhood cancer than were measured magnetic fields, a peculiar result because wire codes were originally developed to be a surrogate for residential magnetic fields. The primary purpose of the study reported here, known as the Back to Denver (BTD) study, was to obtain data to help in the interpretation of the original results of Savitz et al. The BTD study included 81 homes that had been occupied by case and control subjects of Savitz et al., stratified by wire code as follows: 18 high current configuration (HCC) case homes; 20 HCC control homes; 20 low current configuration (LCC) case homes; and 23 LCC control homes. Analysis of new data acquired in these homes led to the following previously unpublished conclusions. The home-averaged (i.e., mean of fields measured in subjects' bedrooms, family/living rooms, and rooms where meals normally eaten) spot 60 Hz, 180 Hz, and harmonic (i.e., 60-420 Hz) magnetic fields were associated with wire codes. The 180 Hz and harmonic components, but not the 60 Hz component, were associated with case/control status. Measured static magnetic fields were only weakly correlated (rapproximately 0.2) between rooms in homes. The BTD data provide little support for, but are too sparse to definitively test, the 1995 resonance hypothesis proposed by Bowman et al. Case and control homes had similar concentrations of copper in their tap water. Copper concentration was not associated with wire codes nor with the level of electric current carried by a home's water pipe. These results of the BTD study suggest that future case/control studies investigating power frequency magnetic fields might wish to include measurements of 180 Hz or harmonic magnetic fields in order to examine their associations (if any) with disease status.     

Finite difference calculations of current densities in a homogeneous model of a man exposed to extremely low frequency electric fields

This paper presents three-dimensional finite difference calculations of induced current densities in a grounded, homogeneous, realistically human-shaped phantom. Comparison is made with published experimental values of current density at 60 Hz, measured in conducting saline manikins with their arms down by the side. The congruence between calculation and experiment gives confidence in the applicability of the numerical method and phantom shape to other configurations. The effect of raising both arms above the head is to reduce the current densities in the head and neck by approximately 50% and to increase those from the thorax downwards by 20-30%. A sensitivity analysis was performed on the shape and dimensions of the phantom, from a 45-kg, 1.5-m-tall person to a 140-kg, 1.9-m-tall person. When the phantom is grounded through both feet the current densities range from 50 to 90 microAm-2 in the head (all values for a 60-Hz, 1-kVm-1, vertical applied field), 70 to 140 microAm-2 in the thorax, 150 to 440 microAm-2 at the crotch, and 500 to 2,230 microAm-2 in the ankle. When grounded through only one foot the current densities at the crotch range from 400 to 1,000 microAm-2 and from 1,000 to 4,400 microAm-2 in the ankle of the grounded leg. Scale transformations of the short-circuit current with phantom height, weight, and surface area are confirmed.     

Frequency-dependent alterations in enolase activity in Escherichia coli caused by exposure to electric and magnetic fields

Some neurochemical effects of low-intensity electric and magnetic fields have been shown to be nonlinear functions of exposure parameters. These effects occurred within narrow ranges of frequency and intensity. Previous studies on membrane-associated endpoints in cell culture preparations demonstrated changes in calcium efflux and in acetylcholinesterase activity following exposure to radiofrequency radiation, amplitude modulated (AM) at 16 and at 60 Hz, at a specific absorption rate of 0.05 W/kg. In this study, these modulation frequencies were tested for their influence on the activity of a cytoplasmic enzyme, enolase, which is being tested clinically for detection of neoplasia. Escherichia coli cultures containing a plasmid with a mammalian gene for enolase were exposed for 30 min, and cell extracts were assayed for enolase activity by measuring absorbance at 240 nm. The enolase activity in exposed cultures was compared to the activity in paired control cultures. Exposure to 147 MHz carrier waves at 0.05 W/kg, AM at 16 Hz showed enolase activity enhanced by 62%, and AM at 60 Hz showed enolase activity reduced by 28%. Similarly, exposure to 16 Hz fields alone, at 21.2 V/m_rms (electric) and 97 nT_rms (magnetic), showed enhancement in enolase activity by 59%, whereas exposure to 60 Hz fields alone, at 14.1 V/m_rms (electric) and 65 nT_rms (magnetic), showed reduction in activity by 24%. Sham exposures as well as exposure to continuous-wave 147 MHz radiation at 0.05 W/kg showed no change in enolase activity. Although the underlying basis for these field effects in the cytoplasmic compartment has not been established, differential sensitivities to 16 Hz and to 60 Hz signals provide a clear focus for additional research to determine the responsible mechanism. © 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

A scheme for incorporating DC magnetic fields into epidemiological studies of EMF exposure

Experimental data on calcium-ion release in chicken brain tissue suggest that biological effects of electric and magnetic fields (EMFs) are concentrated near certain “active combinations” of DC magnetic field strength and “effective” AC magnetic field frequencies. We hypothesize that active AC/DC combinations may exist and suggest that epidemiologic data, coupled with DC magnetic field measurements, may be used to identify critical exposure conditions. An empirical model is used to calculate these multiple active combinations at any given DC magnetic field strength and to define a rating system that incorporates the proximity of AC magnetic field frequencies generated by electric power lines to the new, computed effective frequencies. Such an exposure score may be useful in investigating correlations of EMF exposure with disease incidence. For 60 Hz and 50 Hz, the highest EMF exposure scores occurred at DC field strengths of 506 mG and 422 mG, respectively. The exposure score contains a factor which may be adjusted to reflect the importance of harmonics of the AC magnetic field as well as of the fundamental frequency. Using this factor, we consider two important special cases consistent with chick brain data: 1) we consider active pairs associated with all detectable harmonics (up to 660 Hz) without regard to relative intensity of the harmonics, and 2) we use the relative intensities of the AC field frequencies to adjust their contribution to the exposure score. © 1993 Wiley-Liss.
