1. Hypothermia treatment ameliorated cyclin-dependent kinase 5-mediated inflammation in ischemic stroke and improved outcomes in ischemic stroke patients
OBJECTIVES: The inflammatory response is a key mechanism of neuronal damage and loss during acute ischemic stroke. Hypothermia has shown promise as a treatment for ischemic stroke. In this study, we investigated the molecular signaling pathways in ischemic stroke after hypothermia treatment. METHODS: Cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (CDK5) was overexpressed or si

2. Assessment of neuropharmacological potential of low molecular weight components extracted from Rhinella schneideri toad poison
Abstract Background: Studies on toad poison are relevant since they are considered a good source of toxins that act on different biological systems. Among the molecules found in the toad poison, it can be highlighted the cardiotonic heterosides, which have a known mechanism that inhibit Na+/K+-ATPase enzyme. However, these poisons have many other molecules

3. Andrographolide protects mouse astrocytes against hypoxia injury by promoting autophagy and S100B expression
Andrographolide (ANDRO) has been studied for its immunomodulation, anti-inflammatory, and neuroprotection effects. Because brain hypoxia is the most common factor of secondary brain injury after traumatic brain injury, we studied the role and possible mechanism of ANDRO in this process using hypoxia-injured astrocytes. Mouse cortical astrocytes C8-D1A (astro

4. Anti-inflammatory activity and chemical composition of dichloromethane extract from Piper nigrum and P. longum on permanent focal cerebral ischemia injury in rats
Abstract White pepper (Piper nigrum L.) and long pepper (Piper longum L.) belong to family Piperaceae and are commonly used as household spices and traditional medicine worldwide, specifically in China and Southeast Asia. In Traditional Chinese Hui Medicine, these herbs are widely used for treatment of stroke. Our present study investigated effects of these

5. Trypanosoma cruzi trypomastigotes induce cytoskeleton modifications during HeLa cell invasion
It has been recently shown that Trypanosoma cruzi trypomastigotes subvert a constitutive membrane repair mechanism to invade HeLa cells. Using a membrane extraction protocol and high-resolution microscopy, the HeLa cytoskeleton and T. cruzi parasites were imaged during the invasion process after 15 min and 45 min. Parasites were initially found under cells a

6. Reproductive plasticity of Hypostomus affinis (Siluriformes: Loricariidae) as a mechanism to adapt to a reservoir with poor habitat complexity
In this work we describe the gonad morphology and spawning season of Hypostomus affinis (Steindachner, 1877) in a tropical reservoir based on 55 males and 125 females. Our aim was to assess eventual adaptations in reproductive tactics developed by this riverine species inhabiting an oligotrophic reservoir with low habitat complexity, few rocks and few other

7. Lateral interactions in visual perception of temporal signals: cortical and subcortical components
The aim of this work was to isolate and investigate subcortical and cortical lateral interactions involved in flicker perception. We quantified the perceived flicker strength (PFS) in the center of a test stimulus which was simultaneously modulated with a surround stimulus (50% Michelson contrast in both stimuli). Subjects were requested to adjust the modula

8. Participação das vias de estresse oxidativo na neuroproteção mediada pelo treinamento físico em fatias cerebrais submetidas à privação de oxigênio e glicose
Ischemia leads to a variety of pathological events, including excitotoxicity, inflammation, delayed neuronal dysfunction and cell death through hyperactivation of glutamate receptors and production of free radicals, such as nitric oxide (NO). The mechanism by which cerebral excess formation of NO, which mediates neuronal death involving energy depletion, lip

9. Protective mechanism of agmatine pretreatment on RGC-5 cells injured by oxidative stress
Agmatine has neuroprotective effects on retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) as well as cortical and spinal neurons. It protects RGCs from oxidative stress even when it is not present at the time of injury. As agmatine has high affinity for various cellular receptors, we assessed protective mechanisms of agmatine using transformed RGCs (RGC-5 cell line). Differenti

10. The Jitter Spatial Frequency Sweep VEP: a new paradigm to study spatiotemporal development of pattern- and motion-processing mechanisms in human infants
We introduce a new VEP paradigm - the Jitter Spatial Frequency (JSF) Sweep VEP - that permits efficient mapping of the spatiotemporal tuning of the developmental motion asymmetry (DMA). Vertical sinewave gratings undergoing 90º horizontal oscillatory displacements (6 or 10 Hz) were presented while their SF was swept over 2 to 5 octaves during each VEP trial

11. Disturbios do desenvolvimento cortical e epilepsia autossomica dominante com auras auditivas : estudos geneticos e moleculares / Malformations of cortical development and autosomal dominant partial epilepsy with auditory features
Temporal Lobe Epilepsy (TLE) and malformations of cortical development (MCD) are two of the most important causes of epilepsy. Extensive molecular genetic studies have resulted in gene discovery for MCD such as periventricular nodular heterotopia (PNH), lisencephaly/ subcortical band heterotopia spectrum (LIS-SBH), schizencephaly, polymicrogyria and for a su

12. Preenchimento Perceptual em Portadores de Lesão Retínica
OBJETIVO: Estudar preenchimento perceptual de lesão retínica produzida por corioretinite. Embora exista área de escotoma com déficit de impulsos visuais, pacientes com tais lesões percebem o campo visual de forma ininterrupta, sugerindo a existência de fenômeno de preenchimento perceptual nessas regiões danificadas pela corioretinite. MÉTODOS: Foram
