Expression of β-nerve growth factor mRNA in rat glioma cells and astrocytes from rat brain

AbstractA 50-base synthetic oligodeoxynucleotide complementary to a portion of mouse nerve growth factor (NGF) mRNA was used as a probe for analysis of the expression of NGF gene. Northern blot analysis showed the presence of a major 1.3 kb transcript, which was identical in size to mouse NGF mRNA, in both C6Bu1 cells and rat astrocytes cultured from newborn rat brain. Further, the rearrangement of DNA sequence in and around the NGF gene locus of C6Bu1 cells was not detected by Southern blot analysis. These results indicate the expression of NGF mRNA in both C6Bu1 cells and astrocytes from rat brain, suggesting that astrocytes may produce NGF protein in the rat brain, especially in developing rat brain

Cavum Septum Pellucidum and Cavum Vergae With Late-Onset Catatonia

Associations between large cavum septum pellucidum and functional psychosis disorders, especially schizophrenia, have been reported. We report a case of late-onset catatonia associated with enlarged CSP and cavum vergae. A 66-year-old woman was presented with altered mental status and stereotypic movement. She was initially treated with aripiprazole and lorazepam. After 4 weeks, she was treated with electroconvulsive therapy. By 10 treatments, echolalia vanished, and catatonic behavior was alleviated. Developmental anomalies in the midline structure may increase susceptibility to psychosis, even in the elderly.ArticleJOURNAL OF ECT. 29(3):E45-E46 (2013)journal articl

Heavy Fermion Behaviors of Amorphous Ce_9Cu_<91> Alloy in High Magnetic Fields(Transport and Fermiology)

Heavy fermion behaviors observed in the amorphous(a-) Ce_9Cu_ alloy are markedly suppressed by applying high magnetic fields, H. The electronic specific heat coefficient, which is extremely large at H=0 Oe becomes smaller for H>100 kOe. With increasing H, the magnetization curve increases nonlinearly, where the magnetic susceptibility estimated for H>100 kOe is one order smaller than that for H<10 kOe. At 4.2 K, the magnetoresistance is negative and its absolute value is very small owing to the disorder scattering. These features indicate that a dense Kondo behavior is strongly suppressed in a high magnetic field

Comparison of alterations in cerebral hemoglobin oxygenation in late life depression ans Alzheimer's disease as assessed by near-infrared spectroscopy

BACKGROUND: Patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) often present with apathy symptoms resembling the decreased motivation observed in depressed patients. Therefore, differentiating the initial phase of AD from late life depression may be difficult in some cases. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a functional neuroimaging modality that uses near-infrared light to measure changes in hemoglobin concentration on the cortical surface during activation tasks. The objective of this study was to investigate differences in brain activation associated with late life depression and with AD by means of NIRS. METHODS: NIRS was performed in 30 patients with depression, 28 patients with AD, and 33 healthy controls, all aged 60 years or older. During two tasks, a verbal fluency task and a visuospatial task, changes in oxygenated hemoglobin concentration in the frontal and parietal cortices were investigated. RESULTS: In the visuospatial task, cortical activation was lower in the depressed group than in the AD group, and significant differences were observed in the parietal cortex. CONCLUSIONS: NIRS can detect differences in brain activation between patients with late life depression and those with AD. NIRS is a promising tool for the differential diagnosis of late life depression and AD.ArticleBEHAVIORAL AND BRAIN FUNCTIONS. 10:8 (2014)journal articl

Vocational Guidance and Student\u27s Career Formation (I)

About half of students are planning to enter labor force after graduating from high schools in Japan, so job placement is an integral part of the vocational guidance in high school. It means high school plays an important role in allocating students to labor market. If we try to grasp the selection function of Japanese high schools totally, we have to clarify these allocation processes. In order to explore the processes, we made a nationwide survey including 1,170 high schools (whereby more than half of the students planning to work upon leaving school) using questionnaire method. This is the first report of the survey
