Effects of menthol-based counterirritant on quadriceps motoneuron-pool excitability.
CONTEXT Motoneuron-pool facilitation after cryotherapy may be mediated by stimulation of thermoreceptors surrounding a joint. It is unknown whether menthol counterirritants, which also stimulate thermoreceptors, have the same effect on motoneuron-pool excitability (MNPE). OBJECTIVE To compare quadriceps MNPE after a menthol-counterirritant application to the anterior knee, a sham counterirrit...
متن کاملBcl-2 overexpression prevents motoneuron cell body loss but not axonal degeneration in a mouse model of a neurodegenerative disease.
Bcl-2 and its analogs protect different classes of neurons from apoptosis in several experimental situations. These proteins may therefore provide a means for treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. We examined the effects of Bcl-2 overexpression in a genetic mouse model with motor neuron disease (progressive motor neuronopathy/pmn). Pmn/pmn mice lose motoneurons and myelinated axons, and die ...
متن کاملReduced motoneuron excitability in a rat model of sepsis.
Many critically ill patients in intensive care units suffer from an infection-induced whole body inflammatory state known as sepsis, which causes severe weakness in patients who survive. The mechanisms by which sepsis triggers intensive care unit-acquired weakness (ICUAW) remain unclear. Currently, research into ICUAW is focused on dysfunction of the peripheral nervous system. During electromyo...
متن کاملinvestigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures
deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...
Cholinergic neuropathology in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease
Transgenic mice over-expressing mutant human amyloid precursor protein (PDAPP mouse) develop several Alzheimer’s disease (AD)-like lesions including an age-related accumulation of amyloid-?-containing neuritic plaques. Although aged, heterozygous PDAPP mice also exhibit synaptic and glial cell changes, that is characteristic of AD pathology, no evidence of neurodegeneration has been observed. T...
