Abstract

Pulmonary function tests were performed in 12 patients who underwent posterior retroperitoneoscopic surgery, before and on the 3rd and 7th days after operation. Forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1), FEV1/FCV, vital capacity (VC), total lung capacity (TLC), residual volume (RV) and functional residual capacity (FRC) were not significantly different between before and after surgery. It is assumed that posterior retroperitoneoscopic surgery could be performed without impairment of pulmonary function after surgery.

Glucocorticoids modulate the NGF mRNA response in the rat hippocampus after traumatic brain injury.

Nerve growth factor (NGF) expression in the rat hippocampus is increased after experimental traumatic brain injury (TBI) and is neuroprotective. Glucocorticoids are regulators of brain neurotrophin levels and are often prescribed following TBI. The effect of adrenalectomy (ADX) and corticosterone (CORT) replacement on the expression of NGF mRNA in the hippocampus after TBI has not been investigated to date. We used fluid percussion injury and in situ hybridisation to evaluate the expression of NGF mRNA in the hippocampus 4 h after TBI in adrenal-intact or adrenalectomised rats (with or without CORT replacement). TBI increased expression of NGF mRNA in sham-ADX rats, but not in ADX rats. Furthermore, CORT replacement in ADX rats restored the increase in NGF mRNA induced by TBI. These findings suggest that glucocorticoids have an important role in the induction of hippocampal NGF mRNA after TBI.

Induction of hippocampal glial cells expressing basic fibroblast growth factor RNA by corticosterone.

A transcriptional regulation of bFGF expression via both gluco- and mineralocorticoid receptors is known to exist. In the present study the glial nuclear fraction of bFGF transcripts was studied in sham-operated (SHAM), adrenalectomized (ADX), and corticosterone-treated ADX rats in subregions of the dorsal hippocampal formation. A substantial increase was observed in the population of bFGF RNA-expressing glial cells after acute corticosterone treatment (10 mg/kg, s.c.) in subregions of the CA1 area and the dentate gyrus but no changes were observed after adrenalectomy. The levels of glial nuclear bFGF transcripts were similar in all the experimental groups. These data suggest that in a subpopulation of hippocampal glial cells corticosterone regulates bFGF gene expression transcriptionally in an on/off manner.

Estradiol tends to improve inhibitory avoidance performance in adrenalectomized male rats and reduces pyknotic cells in the dentate gyrus of adrenalectomized male and female rats.

Estradiol or vehicle was administered daily to gonadectomized, adrenalectomized (ADX) male (experiment 1) and female (experiment 2) Long-Evans rats. Four and 5 days after ADX, respectively, animals were trained and tested in an inhibitory avoidance task. Male and female ADX rats had shorter cross over latencies on the test day than did nonADX rats. In males, estradiol administration to ADX rats improved inhibitory avoidance performance to levels that were comparable to nonADX, estradiol-administered male rats. No effects of estradiol were seen on inhibitory avoidance performance of female rats. In both males and females, ADX increased the number of pyknotic cells in the dentate gyrus compared to nonADX rats; estradiol also reduced pyknotic cell number compared to vehicle administration. These findings suggest that estradiol's effects on inhibitory avoidance and pyknosis in the dentate gyrus may be independent of each other.
