Resumen
In vivo and in vitro evidence from animals suggesting that gap junctions (GJs) play a role in the spreading of epileptiform activity. We have examined the influence of the gap junction opener trimethylamine (TMA) and the connexin 36 (Cx36) gap junctional blocker, quinine, on epileptiform activity induced by 4-aminopyridine (4-AP) in the rat entorhinal cortex (EC) and the CA1 hippocampal region. A cannula and surface electrodes were implanted into the brain to administer drugs and to monitor electrical activity. Injection of 4-AP (10 nmol) produced epileptiform discharge trains of high amplitude and frequency associated with seizure behavior rated between 0 and 3 in the Racine scale. In the presence of TMA (500 nmol), 4-AP produced distinct epileptiform patterns with continuous, long epileptiform discharges of high amplitude and frequency associated with seizure behavior of 0, 1, 3 and 5 during the first 30 min post-drug administration that diminished after 90 min. Quinine injection (35 pmol) into the EC of seizing animals decreased the amplitude and frequency of the discharge trains in the EC and CA1 regions, which were completely blocked after 34 min. Indeed, the seizure behavior of the animals was completely blocked in five of the six rats 53.2 s after quinine administration. We suggest that the intensity of the proepileptic effect of TMA on epileptiform activity depends on the time and route of drug administration, and that neural Cx36-dependent GJs are important structures in the generation of epileptiform activity, as well as in the seizure behavior induced by 4-AP.

García-Torales, G. Martinez-Ponce, G.",,"2013",,"A number of optical techniques have been reported in the scientific literature as accomplishable methodologies to diagnose diseases in biological tissue, for instance, diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) and optical polarization imaging (OPI). The skin is the largest organ in the body and consists of three primary layers, namely, the epidermis (the outermost layer exposed to the world), the dermis, and the hypodermis. The epidermis changes from to site to site, mainly because of difference in hydration. A lower water content increase light scattering and reduce the penetration depth of radiation. In this work, two hairless mice have been selected to evaluate their skin features by using DRS and OPI. Four areas of the specimen body were chosen to realize the comparison: back, abdomen, tail, and head. From DRS, it was possible to distinguish the skin nature because of different blood irrigation at dermis. In the other hand, OPI shows pseudo-depolarizing regions in the measured Mueller images related to a spatially varying propagation of the scattered light. This provides information about the cell size in the irradiated skin. " 2013 SPIE.
