    Notes: Abstract: At 1, 2, and 4 weeks after unilateral premotor and motor cortex ablation in rats, a significant and lasting decrease in glutamate levels in the ipsilateral versus contralateral striatum was observed. A significant corresponding fall in aspartate was seen only after 1 week. In contrast, there was a large increase in the striatal concentrations of lysine, threonine, alanine, and glutamine 1 week after the cortical ablation. This correlates with the extensive glial proliferation in the deafferented ipsilateral striatum. Four weeks after cortical ablation the GABA concentration was significantly increased. There was no decrease in other putative transmitters (dopamine, serotonin, acetyl-choline, glycine and taurine), nor was a glutamate decrease observed in the hippocampus or in the hypothalamus, which do not receive direct premotor and motor cortical inputs. Both biochemical and morphological evidence for a minor contralateral cortico-striatal projection was obtained. Correlating with the fall in glutamate, ultrastructural observations indicated the degeneration of two types of striatal synapses, i.e., those of the axo-spinous type III and of the axo-dendritic type VII. Frontal cortex ablation clearly affects, in opposite directions, the metabolism of various striatal amino acids but not that of acetylcholine and the monoamine transmitters. The results strongly support the view that glutamate is the transmitter of the cortico-striatal fibers.

    Notes: Resonant two color two photon ionization is used to investigate the first electronically excited state of NaNH3 as a first example of size selected, solvated alkali metal atoms systems (alkali⋅solventn). The observed spectrum shows a complex vibrational and rotational structure. The 0-0 transition is found at 12 220 cm−1 (1.52 eV), in good agreement with recent theoretical calculations. With increasing laser power ionic fragments of the molecule are seen, indicating possible new avenues to study the dynamics of charge transfer processes in this type of model system.

    Notes: The re-expression of the developmentally regulated serine protease inhibitor glia-derived nexin (GDN) was investigated 1 year after transient global ischaemia induced by the four-vessel occlusion technique in rats. The CA1 sector of the hippocampus was severely shrunken due to the absence of pyramidal cells, but still clearly discernible due to the continued presence of the parvalbumin-containing GABAergic neurons. In this partially neuron-depleted hippocampus, GDN immunoreactivity was found in reactive astrocytes containing glial fibrillary acidic protein. GDN-positive astrocytes were also found in other lesioned areas, the reticular thalamic nucleus and the cerebellar cortex. Thus, the re-expression of GDN in the adult excitotoxically lesioned brain described previously in the gerbil model of ischaemia persists. The continued presence of the protease inhibitor might disturb the proteolytic balance and lead to the deposition of pathological breakdown products of proteins, e.g. β-amyloid.

    Description / Table of Contents: Abstract. Different anaesthetic procedures that were used during an in vitro fertilisation and embryo transfer (IVF-ET) program have been analysed in order to determine their influence on plasma levels of estradiol, progesterone, prolactin, and β-endorphin and results of IVF-ET. Methods. Fifty-four patients awaiting transvaginal oocyte aspiration were randomised into three groups: (1) anaesthesia with ketamine as an induction agent and analgesic (n=20); (2) general intubation anaesthesia using thiopentone for induction and enflurane for maintenance (n=18); and (3) no anaesthesia (n=16). Estradiol, progesterone, prolactin, and β-endorphin were measured from day 3 to 14 referring to follicle aspiration. Differences between preoperative hormone levels and their intra- and postoperative peaks were analysed using the Kruskal-Wallis test (P〈0.03). The results were corrected using the Holms method (α=0.05). Results. No differences were observed in estradiol and progesterone levels (Figs. 1, 2). Prolactin levels were 1.4 times higher (P〈0.001) when ketamine was used and 2.2 times higher (P〈0.001) after short general anaesthesia than in the control group (Fig. 3). Similar results were observed with respect to β-endorphin: in comparison with the control group we found significant elevation by a factor of 2.1 when ketamine was used (P〈0.001). The discrepancy became even more marked with general anaesthesia: β-endorphin was 3.9 times higher compared to the controls (P〈0.001) (Fig. 4). Comparing the two groups who were given anaesthetics, prolactin and β-endorphin levels were also significantly different (P〈0.001). The IVF procedure itself did not appear to be affected by different anaesthetic procedures during oocyte aspiration (Table 2). Conclusions. The increased prolactin and β-endorphin plasma levels associated with ketamine and general anaesthesia reflect a significant alteration of the observed hormone levels. When anaesthesia is indicated, we try to avoid general intubation anaesthesia in favor of ketamine.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung. Im Rahmen der in-vitro-Fertilisations-Embryotransfer-(IVF-ET-)Behandlung werden bei der Oozytengewinnung u. a. systemische Kurznarkosen eingesetzt. Ihr Einfluß auf die Östradiol-, Progesteron-, Prolaktin- und β-Endorphin-Plasmaspiegel sowie auf die Ergebnisse der IVF-Verfahren wurde an 54 Patientinnen untersucht. Diese wurden vor einer geplanten transvaginalen Follikelpunktion zwischen einer Narkose mit Ketamin als Einleitungshypnotikum und Analgetikum (n=20), einer "Allgemeinnarkose" mit Thiopental als Einleitungs- und Enfluran als Inhalationsnarkotikum (n=18) und einer Kontrollgruppe ohne Anästhesie (n=16) randomisiert. Die Hormonspiegelbestimmungen erfolgten peri- und intraoperativ zwischen Tag −3 und +14. Die Differenzbeträge zum individuellen Vor- bzw. Nullwert wurden mittels Kruskal-Wallis-Test analysiert (p〈0,03) und nach dem Holm-Verfahren korrigiert (α=0,05). Der Prolaktinspiegel war unter Ketaminanästhesie 1,4fach und Allgemeinanästhesie 2,2fach gegenüber der Kontrollgruppe erhöht (jeweils p〈0,001). Auch die β-Endorphine stiegen um den Faktor 2,1 (p〈0,001) bzw. 3,9 (p〈0,001) signifikant an. Beim Vergleich der Narkoseformen untereinander waren Prolaktin- sowie Endorphinspiegel ebenfalls signifikant unterschiedlich (p〈0,001). Keine Unterschiede ergaben sich bezüglich der Östradiol- und Progesteronspiegel sowie in bezug auf die IVF-Durchführung und die klinischen Ergebnisse nach Embryotransfer. Wenngleich die klinischen Ergebnisse der IVF-Behandlung nicht durch den Einsatz der Narkoseverfahren beeinflußt wurden, sollte dennoch ein Anästhesieverfahren mit einer geringen Beeinflussung der Hormonspiegel gewählt werden. In unserer Untersuchung war dies die Ketaminnarkose ohne endotracheale Intubation.
