GABA (γ-aminobutyric acid) is the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain. The GABAergic system is indispensable for maintaining the balance between excitation and inhibition (E/I balance) required for normal neural circuit function. E/I imbalances that result from perturbations in the development of this system, ranging from the generation of inhibitory neurons to the formation of their synaptic connections, have been implicated in several neurodevelopmental disorders. In this review, we discuss how impairments at different stages in GABAergic development can lead to disease states. We also highlight recent studies which show that modulation of the GABAergic system can successfully reverse cognitive deficits in disease models and suggest that therapeutic strategies targeting the GABAergic system could be effective in treating neurodevelopmental disorders. 相似文献

Background
Clearance at the blood-brain barrier (BBB) plays an important role in removal of Alzheimer’s amyloid-β (Aβ) toxin from brain both in humans and animal models. Apolipoprotein E (apoE), the major genetic risk factor for AD, disrupts Aβ clearance at the BBB. The cellular and molecular mechanisms, however, still remain unclear, particularly whether the BBB-associated brain capillary pericytes can contribute to removal of aggregated Aβ from brain capillaries, and whether removal of Aβ aggregates by pericytes requires apoE, and if so, is Aβ clearance on pericytes apoE isoform-specific.Methods
We performed immunostaining for Aβ and pericyte biomarkers on brain capillaries (<?6 μm in diameter) on tissue sections derived from AD patients and age-matched controls, and APPSwe/0 mice and littermate controls. Human Cy3-Aβ42 uptake by pericytes was studied on freshly isolated brain slices from control mice, pericyte LRP1-deficient mice (Lrplox/lox;Cspg4-Cre) and littermate controls. Clearance of aggregated Aβ42 by mouse pericytes was studied on multi-spot glass slides under different experimental conditions including pharmacologic and/or genetic inhibition of the low density lipoprotein receptor related protein 1 (LRP1), an apoE receptor, and/or silencing mouse endogenous Apoe in the presence and absence of human astrocyte-derived lipidated apoE3 or apoE4. Student’s t-test and one-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni's post-hoc test were used for statistical analysis.Results
First, we found that 35% and 60% of brain capillary pericytes accumulate Aβ in AD patients and 8.5-month-old APPSw/0 mice, respectively, compared to negligible uptake in controls. Cy3-Aβ42 species were abundantly taken up by pericytes on cultured mouse brain slices via LRP1, as shown by both pharmacologic and genetic inhibition of LRP1 in pericytes. Mouse pericytes vigorously cleared aggregated Cy3-Aβ42 from multi-spot glass slides via LRP1, which was inhibited by pharmacologic and/or genetic knockdown of mouse endogenous apoE. Human astrocyte-derived lipidated apoE3, but not apoE4, normalized Aβ42 clearance by mouse pericytes with silenced mouse apoE.Conclusions
Our data suggest that BBB-associated pericytes clear Aβ aggregates via an LRP1/apoE isoform-specific mechanism. These data support the role of LRP1/apoE interactions on pericytes as a potential therapeutic target for controlling Aβ clearance in AD.25.

The pyrazosulfuron-ethyl-degrading bacterium, designated as CW17, was isolated from contaminated soil near the warehouse of
the factory producing pyrazosulfuron-ethyl in Changsha city, China. The strain CW17 was identified as Acinetobacter sp. based on analyses of 94 carbon source utilization or chemical sensitivity in Biolog microplates, conventional phenotypic
characteristics, and 16S rRNA gene sequencing. When pyrazosulfuron-ethyl was provided as the sole carbon source, the effects
of pyrazosulfuron-ethyl concentration, pH, and temperature on biodegradation were examined. The degradation rates of pyrazosulfuron-ethyl
at initial concentrations of 5.0, 20.0, and 50.0 mg/L were 48.0%, 77.0%, and 32.6%, respectively, after inoculation for 7 days.
The growth of the strain was inhibited at low pH buffers. The chemical degradation occurs much faster at low pH than at neutral
and basic pH conditions. The degradation rate of pyrazosulfuron-ethyl at 30°C was faster than those at 20 and 37°C by CW17
strains. Two metabolites of degradation were analyzed by liquid chromatography–mass spectroscopy (LC/MS). Based on the identified
products, strain CW17 seemed to be able to degrade pyrazosulfuron-ethyl by cleavage of the sulfonylurea bridge. 相似文献

Stolwijk's multi-node model is modified by considering the sweat accumulation on the skin surface and is applied to simulate the human physiological regulatory response. This human model is interfaced with a coupled heat and moisture model of clothing materials that takes into consideration the adsorption of water vapor in the fibers. Furthermore, a multi-layer clothing system is developed and integrated with the human model. The result agrees well with the published experimental data. 相似文献
