Ni[TCNE]2 · zCH2Cl2 (Tc = 13 K) and VxNi1 − x[TCNE]y · zCH2Cl2 solid solution room temperature magnets

Magnetically ordered Ni[TCNE]₂ · zCH₂Cl₂ (T_c = 13 K) is reported for the first time from the reaction of Ni(CO)₄ with tetracyanoethylene (TCNE). A family of new solid solution room temperature magnets of V_xNi_1 − x[TCNE]_y · zCH₂Cl₂ (0 ? x < 1; y ? 2) composition has been characterized by IR spectrometry, elemental analysis, and magnetic measurements (ac and dc susceptibility). Substitution of Ni^II for V^II in V[TCNE]_y · zCH₂Cl₂ does not alter the T_c significantly for x ? 0.05 and does not alter H_cr significantly for x > 0; however, the magnitude of M increases with x, as does the broadness of the peaks in the χ′(T) and χ″(T) ac susceptibilities. Hence, the magnetic properties of the room temperature V[TCNE]_y · zCH₂Cl₂ magnet can be finely tuned via synthetic chemistry methodology, making this material more amenable in future technologies.     

Cardiovascular actions of prostaglandins F2α; 15-me-F2α; F1α; F2β and F1β in the cat

Prostaglandin F_2α (5μg/kg, i.v.) causes an increase in pulmonary arterial pressure, decrease in systemic arterial pressure, and reflex bradycardia in the anesthetized cat. The same dose of the 15-methyl analogue of PGF_2α produces the same triad of effects but of greater magnitude and duration. Although prostaglandins F_1α, F_2β and F_1β also cause the same cardiovascular effects as F_2α, there is a decrease in potency for all parameters measured, with PGF_2α>PGF_1α>PGF_2β>PGF_1β. When compared to the actions of PGF_2α in producing an increase in pulmonary arterial pressure, PGs F_1α, F_2β and F_1β were less potent by approximately 10, 100, and 1000 fold respectively.

Stimulus Deprivation Increases Pineal Gsα and Gβ

Denervation and other forms of stimulus deprivation cause an increase in the magnitude of subsequent responses, a phenomenon commonly referred to as denervation supersensitivity. This has been well demonstrated with the cyclic AMP response to norepinephrine in the pineal gland. In the present report, we address the question of whether stimulus deprivation alters alpha and beta subunits of the GTP binding regulatory protein that stimulates adenylyl cyclase activity (Gs). Stimulus deprivation of the pineal gland was produced by denervation (superior cervical ganglionectomy), decentralization of the superior cervical ganglia, or by exposure of the animal to continuous lighting. All increased both the alpha and beta subunits of Gs (Gs alpha and G beta) by up to fourfold, as estimated using semiquantitative western blot technology. These effects were detectable after 1 day of stimulus deprivation and were sustained for 2 weeks. The stimulatory effects of constant light-induced stimulus deprivation were also apparent by measuring cholera toxin-dependent ADP-ribosylation of Gs alpha, which revealed a four-fold increase in the amount of labeled substrate. The results of in vivo studies were confirmed with in vitro studies, which demonstrated a spontaneous increase in both Gs alpha and G beta during 72 h of organ culture. The constant light-induced increases in both Gs alpha and G beta were prevented by continuous administration of isoproterenol (0.3 mg/kg/day), supporting the suggestion that adrenergic stimulation controls the levels of Gs alpha and G beta. These studies indicate that stimulus deprivation increases both Gs alpha and G beta.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)     

Gastrodin alleviates Tourette syndrome via Nrf‐2/HO‐1/HMGB1/NF‐кB pathway

The aim is to study the effects of gastrodin (GA) on striatal inflammation and oxidative stress in rats with Tourette syndrome (TS). The rat model of TS was induced by 3,3′‐iminodipropionitrile. Behavioral tests were carried out by stereotype experiment. The concentrations of amino acid transmitters glutamic acid (Glu) and γ‐aminobutyric acid (GABA) in striatum were determined by high‐performance liquid chromatography. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA) in serum and striatum were detected by commercial kits. Cytokines in serum and striatum were detected by enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay kits. Western blot analysis was used to detect striatum nuclear erythroid factor 2‐related factor 2 (Nrf‐2)/heme oxygenase‐1 (HO‐1)/high mobility group box 1 protein (HMGB1)/nuclear factor‐кB (NF‐кB) pathway‐related proteins. The expressions of Nrf‐2 and P‐NF‐кBp65 in striatum were detected by immunohistochemistry. Compared with the control group, the stereotype scores of rats in the model group significantly increased, and the contents of Glu and GABA in striatum obviously increased. GA significantly reduced the stereotype scores and decreased the contents of Glu and GABA. The levels of SOD in serum and striatum were decreased and the content of MDA in serum and striatum were increased compared with the control group, while GA significantly restored the changes. GA significantly adjusted Nrf‐2/HO‐1/HMGB1/NF‐кB pathway‐related proteins changes consistent with immunohistochemical changes. GA may protect striatum of rats with TS by regulating Nrf‐2/HO‐1/HMGB1/NF‐кB pathway protein changes in striatum.     

Molecular determinants for the action of general anesthetics at recombinant α2β3γ2γ-aminobutyric acidA receptors

General anesthetics modulate the activity of ligand-gated ion channels including the GABA(A) receptor. Mutational studies mainly on the benzodiazepine-insensitive alpha(2)beta(1(M286W)) and alpha(6)beta(3(N289M))gamma(2) GABA(A) receptors revealed that a serine in transmembrane domain 2 and a methionine in transmembrane domain 3 are essential for the action of most general anesthetics. We investigated whether these residues would similarly be relevant for their action at the benzodiazepine-sensitive GABA receptor subtype, alpha(2)beta(3)gamma(2). We found that not only the N265M but also the M286W mutation nearly abolished the modulatory effect of etomidate. However, the anti-convulsant loreclezole, a structural homologue of etomidate, was inactive on the N265M mutant, but displayed normal modulatory activity on the M286W mutant. Both mutations did not affect the modulatory action of the neurosteroid alphaxalone. The direct action of alphaxalone, however, was dramatically increased in the M286W mutant to about twice the maximal GABA current but not significantly affected in the N265M mutant. These data demonstrate that the structural requirements for modulatory and direct actions of various general anesthetics are distinct. The molecular switches induced by these mutations can be exploited to identify the molecular determinants for the action of general anesthetics.
