AIM The aim of this study was to determine the correlations among hippocampal damage, spontaneous recurrent seizures (SRS), and mossy fiber sprouting (MFS) using pentylenetetrazole (PTZ) kindling model. METHODS Chronic epileptic model was established by administration of PTZ. Behaviour and EEG seizure activity were recorded. Rats' hippocampus were analyzed with haematoxylin and eosin (H&E) st...

In this paper, visual perception of frontal view in intelligent cars is considered. A Pan-Tilt-Zoom (PTZ) camera is used to track preceding vehicles. The aim of this work is to keep the rear view image of the target vehicle stable in scale and position. An efficient real time tracking algorithm is integrated. It is a generic and robust approach, particularly well suited for the detection of sca...

The effect of a brief pentylenetetrazol (PTZ) convulsive seizure on rat cerebral cortical Ca2+/calmodulin dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) was investigated. By immunoblot, it was found that a single PTZ seizure, lasting less than a minute, caused translocation of CaMKII alpha-subunit (alpha-CaMKII) from the particulate to the soluble fraction for several hours, paralleled by a dramatic loss...

Smart video analytics algorithms can be embedded within surveillance sensors for fast in-camera processing. This paper presents a DSP embedded video analytics system for object and people tracking, using a PTZ camera. The tracking algorithm is based on adaptive template matching and it employs a novel Sum of Weighted Absolute Differences. The video analytics is implemented on the DSP board DM64...

To evaluate the anticonvulsant activity of the aerial parts of Verbena officinalis used traditionally by local Iranians for the treatment of convulsion. The anticonvulsant activity of the extract was assessed in pentylenetetrazole (PTZ) and maximal electroshock (MES) induced seizures in mice. Diazepam was used as reference drug. In addition, for investigating the mechanism of V officinalis in P...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate anti convulsant effect of aerial parts of Phyllanthus longiflorus (PHL). MATERIALS AND METHOD Methanol extract of aerial parts of PHL (MPHL) was prepared by continuous hot extraction method using Soxhlet apparatus. MPHL at the doses 100, 200 and 400 mg/kg were administered to male albino mice by oral route and the activity was assessed against maximal electro shock (MES)...

Background Rodent kindling induced by pentylenetetrazole (PTZ) is an established model of epileptogenesis and antiepileptic drug (AED) testing. Recently, a Drosophila systems model has been described in which chronic PTZ causes a decreased climbing speed in adult males on 7 day. Some AEDs ameliorate development of this locomotor deficit. Time-series of microarray expression profiles of heads of...

Abstract Desvenlafaxine succinate (DVS) inhibits serotonin reuptake selectively and is approved for major depressive disorders. This research investigated influence of DVS on modulating brain monoamine oxidative stress in mice. The antiepileptic potential (10, 20, or 30 mg/kg/i.p.) pentylenetetrazole (PTZ; 85 mg/kg) with i.p. route administration, strychnine (STR; 75 route, pilocarpine (400 s.c...

This paper mainly discusses the structure-property relationship of two donor-acceptor-donor (D–?–A–?–D) type dopant-free hole transporting materials (HTMs) (TPA-TPy and TPA-Py-PTZ) comprising primarily 2,4,6-trisubstituted pyridine as acceptor core 4,4?-dimethoxytriphenylamine peripheral donor groups their use in p-i-n perovskite solar cells (PVSCs). Compared to inferior TPA-Py-PTZ, TPA-TPy has...
