BRAIN ENERGETICS AND CEREBRAL DEATH *
Authors: Fein Jack M.
Published: December 2006

Summary

The energy‐charge potential of the brain, defined as the ratio of high‐ and low‐energy phosphate levels, may be correlated with brain viability after injury. Two different states of dysergic brain metabolism may be induced by subarachnoid hemorrhage, depending on the intracranial pressure. Simultaneous measurements of oxidative metabolism and ATP, ADP, and AMP levels were made in rats after cisternal injection of fresh arterial blood under high (>50 mm Hg) and normal (5‐10 mm Hg) intracranial pressure. The hyperbaric injections were uniformly associated with progressive and severe cerebral infarctions. These were correlated with low flow and depressed energy charge potential. A low rate of blood flow and metabolism persisted and the animals showed no signs of recovery postoperatively. Injections under normal pressure were associated with an equally severe suppression of brain blood flow and metabolic rates, but energy charge potential was preserved and clinical function, flow and metabolism were eventually recovered. Despite the cerebral dysfunction, which may appear similar in both cases, the prognosis for viability in the two instances is quite different. These paradigms are useful in formulating concepts of the energy state necessary for functional brain survival.
MOMENT PROPERTIES OF SUBGRAPH COUNTS IN STOCHASTIC GRAPHS
Authors: Frank Ove
Published: December 2006

Summary

Statistical analysis of stochastic graph models can be based on subgraph counts. General formulas are given which may be used to derive expected values, variances, and covariances of such graph statistics. Three different stochastic graph models are used as illustrations. Moments are given for certain dyad and triad counts in a graph with stochastically independent edge occurrences. Moments are also given for some subgraph count estimators which are based on a partially erased graph or a sampled subgraph.
The Finest Splitting Uniformity
Authors: ALDERTON I. W.
Published: December 2006

An explicit description of the finest splitting uniformity is developed by regarding the category Unif of uniform spaces and uniformly continuous maps as a subcategory of the category UCon of uniform convergence spaces, and then applying some general categorical results concerning Cartesian closedness. Also given (and required by this procedure) are explicit descriptions of final structures in UCon, and of the objects of the coreflective hull of Unif in UCon.
On Wallman Spaces and the Lindelöf Property
Authors: EID GEORGE M.
Published: December 2006

It is assumed that X is an abstract set and ℒ is a lattice of subsets of X. The consequences of ℒ being regular, and of ℒ being regular together with other lattice properties such as prime complete or even Lindelöf, are discussed first. Next, the important problem of enlarging an ℒ‐filter or an ℒ‐ultrafilter with the countable intersection property is considered. It is much easier to express this in terms of zero–one‐valued finitely additive measures on the algebra generated by ℒ. Conditions for the preceding to hold in terms of topological spaces of measures associated with the lattice ℒ are then obtained.
Oxidant Carcinogenesis and Antioxidant Defensea
Authors: CERUTTI PETER , SHAH GIRISH , PESKIN ALEXANDER , AMSTAD PAUL
Published: December 2006

Growth promotion by oxidants is observed with cultured human and mouse fibroblasts as well as epidermal cells. It is expected to play a role in inflammation, fibrosis, and tumorigenesis. Indeed, oxidants trigger (patho)physiological reactions that resemble those induced by growth and differentiation factors. For example, active oxygen activates protein kinases. causes DNA breakage, and induces the growth competence‐related protooncogenes c‐fos and c‐myc.
In Vivo Detection of Neurotransmitter Changes in Alzheimer's Diseasea
Authors: NORDBERG AGNETA
Published: December 2006

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by multiple deficits of neurotransmitters in brain. These observations are mainly based upon studies in postmortem brain material where the disease has reached a terminal state. In order to obtain further insight into the early disturbances of the neurotransmitter activities in AD, new imaging techniques such as positron emission tomography (PET) and single positron emission tomography (SPECT) can be applied in vivo for detection of neurotransmitter activity in normal as well as AD brains. Nicotinic receptors have been traced in AD patients by PET and 11C‐nicotine at different stages of AD. A lower uptake of (R)(+)‐compared to (S)(‐)‐11C‐nicotine was observed in AD patients while the difference in uptake of the two enantiomeres was less pronounced in normal individuals. A positive correlation has been observed between cognitive function (Mini‐Mental‐State‐Examination) and uptake of (S)(‐)‐11C‐nicotine in the temporal cortex of AD patients. 11C‐benztropine has been used to measure muscarinic receptors in brain by PET. Oral tacrine treatment (80 mg daily) restore nicotinic receptors in AD patients as visualized by PET and 11C‐nicotine. Kinetic analysis indicate increased binding of (S)(‐)‐11C‐nicotine after 3 months of treatment with tacrine. The PET data are paralleled by improvement in neuropsychological testings. Intraventricular infusion of nerve growth factor (NGF) to an AD patients for 3 months resulted in an transient increase in uptake and binding of (S)(‐)‐11C‐nicotine in the temporal and frontal cortex and a persistent increase in cortical blood flow.
Dopamine D2 Receptors in Normal Human Brain: Effect of Age Measured by Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and [11C]‐Raclopridea
Authors: ANTONINI ANGELO , LEENDERS KLAUS L.
Published: December 2006

Human post‐mortem and animal experimental results suggest a decline of the cerebral dopaminergic neuronal system with age. In this study, the radiotracer [11C]raclopride (dopamine D2 antagonist) and positron emission tomography were applied to determine the effect of age on striatal dopamine D2 receptors in 32 healthy volunteer subjects (age range 21–68 years). Subjects were divided in two age groups on the basis of median age (31 years). An index for specific tracer uptake was calculated for caudate nucleus and putamen. Uptake indices in the older group of subjects were reduced on average 26% in putamen and 20% in caudate nucleus. The decline appeared to be steep until 30 years, but slower afterwards. After 30 years of age the decline of specific raclopride binding was found to be 0.6% per year. These results suggest that dopamine D2 receptor binding sites (mainly post‐synaptically located) decrease as a consequence of normal aging in parallel with the decline of the pre‐synaptic nigrostriatal dopa‐minergic system.
Receptor‐coupled Amyloid Precursor Protein Processinga

The family of β‐amyloid protein precursors (APP) can be processed via several alternative proteolytic pathways. Some generate potentially amyloidogenic AFP derivatives, whereas others preclude the formation of such fragments. The cellular mechanisms regulating the relative activities of these pathways are thus important in determining the factors contributing to the formation of amyloidogenic APP derivatives. In order to investigate whether cell‐surface receptor activity can regulate APP processing, HEK 293 cell lines stably expressing human muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChR; subtypes m1, m2, m3, m4) were stimulated with the muscarinic agonist carbachol, and the release of APP derivatives was measured. Carbachol increased the release of large amino‐terminal APP‐fragments 4‐to 6‐fold in cell lines expressing the m1 or m3 receptors but not in those expressing m2 or m4 subtypes. This increase was blocked by various protein kinase inhibitors and mimicked by phorbol esters, indicating that it is mediated by protein kinase activation, presumably by protein kinase C (PKC). To determine whether additional cell‐surface receptor types linked to this signal transduction pathway could also regulate APP processing, we stimulated differentiated PC‐12 cells with bradykinin and found that this neuropeptide also increased the secretion of amino‐terminal APP derivatives. We next investigated the possibility that neuronal depolarization might affect APP processing in mammalian brain. Electrically stimulated rat hippocampal slices released two times more amino‐terminal APP derivatives than unstimulated control slices. This release increased with increasing stimulation frequencies in the physiological firing range of hippocampal pyramidal cells, and was blocked by tetrodotoxin. These results suggest that, in brain, APP processing is regulated by neuronal activity.
