    Notes: Summary Distribution of substance P (SP)-positive fibers in the medial preoptic area (POM) of the rat and their origins were examined using indirect immunofluorescence. A very high density of SP-positive fibers was seen in the POM throughout its entire rostro-caudal extent. However, the distribution of these fibers was not even; the highest density was detected in the medial part of the POM, with less dense but still numerous fibers in the lateral part. On the other hand, in this area a small number of SP-positive cells could be found; a few cells were scattered in the rostral part and, in the caudal part, several cells could be seen in the ventral part of the POM. The origins of SP-positive fibers in the POM were experimentally examined. Since the destruction of the ventro-lateral part of the anterior hypothalamus (vlAH), where numerous SP-positive cells were seen, resulted in a marked decrease of SP-positive fibers in the POM on the operated side, the majority of these fibers may originate from SP-positive cells in the vlAH. The fine structure of SP-positive terminals in the POM were investigated by electron-microscopic immunohistochemical techniques. Immunoreactive terminals contained a few large granular vesicles together with numerous small vesicles, and they made synaptic contacts mainly with dendrites which were devoid of immunoreactive materials. Two different synaptic contacts could be distinguished: one asymmetrical (Gray's type I) and the other symmetrical (Gray's type II), with the latter being predominant.

    Notes: Summary The overall distribution of substance P-like immunoreactive (SPI) fibers in the rat urinary bladder was examined by means of frozen sections and whole mount preparations. Two types of SPI fibers entered the urinary bladder from the neck; one forming thick fiber bundles and the other around the blood vessels. These SPI fiber bundles branched into several thinner segments which often project many collaterals to the smooth muscle and submucosal layers. In the smooth muscle layer, single SPI fibers were seen running parallel to both longitudinal and circular muscle bundles. They appeared to be evenly distributed in the smooth muscle layer. SPI fiber bundles located in the circular muscle layer dissociated SPI fibers which entered the submucosal layer, where they directed to the epithelium and formed a meshwork just beneath it. SPI fibers often left the meshwork to enter the epithelium where abundant arborization of fine SPI fibers was seen. The density of SPI fibers in the submucosal layer and epithelium was not even. The highest density was identified in the neck and the trigonum area.

    Notes: Abstract The present study was designed to investigate the possible neuroprotective activity of ginseng roots in 5-min ischemic gerbils using a step-down passive avoidance task and subsequent neuron and synapse counts in the hippocampal CA1 region. The following drugs were administered for 7 days before the induced ischemia: red ginseng powder (RGP), crude ginseng saponin (CGS), crude ginseng non-saponin (CGNS), and pure ginsenosides Rb1, Rg1 and Ro. Oral administration of RGP significantly prevented the ischemia-induced decrease in response latency, as determined by the passive avoidance test, and rescued a significant number of ischemic hippocampal CA1 pyramidal neurons in a dose-dependent manner. Intraperitoneal injections of CGS exhibited a similar neuroprotective effect. CGNS had a significant but less potent protective effect against impaired passive avoidance task and degeneration of hippocampal CA1 neurons. Ginsenoside Rb1 significantly prolonged the response latency of ischemic gerbils and rescued a significant number of ischemic CA1 pyramidal neurons, whereas ginisenosides Rg1 and Ro were ineffective. Postischemic treatment with RGP, CGS or ginsenoside Rb1 was ineffective. The neuroprotective activities of RGP, CGS and ginsenoside Rb1 were confirmed by electron microscopy counts of synapses in individual strata of the CA1 field of ischemic gerbils pretreated with the drugs. These findings suggest that RGP and CGS are effective in the prevention of delayed neuronal death, and that ginsenoside Rb1 is one of the neuroprotective molecules within ginseng root.
