INFLUENCE OF LONG-TERM VIBRATION ON THE ACTIVITY OF THE SUPERIOR VESTIBULAR NUCLEUS NEURONS UNDER THE CONDITIONS OF STIMULATION OF THE HYPOTHALAMUS NUCLEI.

Prolonged vibration exposure leads to alterations of the central control mechanisms of both the vestibulo-ocular and the vestibulo-autonomic systems, including a change in the hypothalamic-vestibular relationships associated, in particular, with the supraoptic nucleus and paraventricular nucleus. Post-vibration disturbances of the vestibular function are largely due to adaptive changes in neurotransmitter activity. The dynamics of spike activity of single neurons of the superior vestibular nucleus (SVN) in response to high-frequency stimulation of the paraventricular and supraoptic hypothalamic nuclei after long-term vibration exposure were analyzed.

The effects of vibration on the neuronal activity of lateral vestibular nuclei in unilaterally labyrinthectomized rats.

Unilateral labyrinthectomy causes distinct oculomotor and postural disorder syndromes that gradually deteriorate. Simultaneously, compensatory mechanisms for the suppression of pathological disorders were activated. The current study aimed to investigate the characteristics of impulse activity in the ipsilateral and contralateral neurons of the lateral vestibular nucleus of unilaterally labyrinthectomized rats during various periods of vibration exposure.

Enhanced angiogenesis in ischemic skeletal muscle after transplantation of cell sheets from baculovirus-transduced adipose-derived stromal cells expressing VEGF165.

Introduction: Cell therapy using adipose-derived stromal cells (ADSC) is an intensively developing approach to promote angiogenesis and regeneration. Administration technique is crucial and among others minimal constructs - cell sheets (CS) have certain advantages. Delivery of CS allows transplantation of cells along with matrix proteins to facilitate engraftment.

[THE EFFECTS OF THE STIMULATION OF HYPOTHALAMIC NUCLEI ON THE INFERIOR VESTIBULAR NUCLEUS AFTER LONG-TERM VIBRATION ACTION AND ADMINISTRATION OF PROLINE RICH PEPTIDE-1].

Vestibular dysfunctions after vibration action in a considerable degree by adaptive-adjustment changes of neurotransmitter processes are determined and regulation of which is possible by endogenous factors, particularly hypothalamic proline rich peptide-1. On Albino rats synaptic changes in single neurons of the inferior vestibular nucleus during high-frequency stimulation of hypothalamic supraoptic and paraventricular nuclei in condition of vibration action and systemic use of proline rich peptide-1 were studied. The poststimulus spike activity of inferior vestibular nucleus neurons in norm was manifested mainly in the form of tetanic potentiation and posttetanic potentation after vibration action.

Picosecond pulses from a cryogenically cooled, composite amplifier using Yb:YAG and Yb:GSAG.

A cryogenic Yb amplifier using two laser materials, Gd3Sc2Al3O12 and Y3Al5O12 (YAG), has been used to obtain 70 W average power at 5 kHz pulse repetition frequency; the output was compressed to 1.6 ps, compared with an input compressible to 1.4 ps.
