The immune adherence function of red blood cells in 17 rats was studied. It was found that the rosette rate of red blood cell C3b receptor (RBC-C3bRR) was 7.45 +/- 1.36% in the epilepsy group (8 rats), and 10.84 +/- 1.77% in the control group (9 rats); and that the rosette rate of red blood cell
To study the relationship between cAMP and epilepsy, we investigated the effects of coriaria lactone (CL) on the levels of cAMP in cerebral cortex and hippocampus. Fifty normal WC1 mice were divided into 5 groups. All groups were injected with CL (2.5 mg/kg, i.m.), except the control group which was
Healthy rabbits weighing 1.7-2.4 kg were used. According to Sawyer's atlas the stainless steel cannula and recording electrode were implanted into the left hippocampus of each animal. The kindling experiments were started one week after the surgical operation. For kindling, all animals received
Eighteen fully kindled rabbits, whose epilepsy had been produced by intrahippocampal (i.h.) injections of 2 microliters of diluted solution containing 0.32 or 0.55 micrograms of coriaria lactone (CL), were separated into three groups. One of them was used as the control group. For seizure, all
The ultrastructural changes of hippocampus and cerebral cortex neurons were derived from the rabbits kindled by coriaria lactone and from the kindled rabbits after treatment with SC1001 Na. The results of experiment showed that the hippocampus and cerebral cortex neurons in the kindled group had
Coriaria myrtifolia should be recognized as one of the most neurotoxic plants in western Mediterranean area. This shrub produces a toxin, coriamyrtin, that is present in high concentrations in the berries. Ingestion of few fruits similar to blackberries may induce digestive and neurological
BACKGROUND
Coriaria myrtifolla L. (Redoul) is a shrub of the Mediterranean area. Poisoning with this plant is often accidental, following ingestion of the plant's fruit that are often mistaken for blackberries.
METHODS
Having eaten Coriaria myrtifolla L. berries, three sisters suffered from acute
Histories of 25 children of Hospital "San Lazaro" have been reviewed. They had eaten the fruits of the plant known as Coriaria Myrtifolia. Thirteen of these children presented digestive symptoms, nine of them suffered from neurologic signs which went from physical features to seizures and coma. The
We studied the effects of tutin, a sesquiterpenoid obtained from Coriaria ruscifolia subspecie ruscifolia, a native poisonous Chilean plant, on spinal glycine receptors using patch clamp recordings. In addition, cytosolic Ca(2+) transients and activation of cAMP response element-binding protein
Neurophysiological, biochemical and anatomical evidence implicates the thalamus as playing a role in epileptic seizures. Until recently, however, longitudinal characterization of in vivo thalamus dynamics had not been reported. In this study, we investigated the metabolism in the thalamus to
OBJECTIVE
To acquire knowledge about the effect of Coriaria lactone (CL) on ATP-sensitive potassium channels (KATP) in cultured pyrimidal neurons of rats and the role of KATP in epileptogenesis.
METHODS
Experiments were conducted by the use of cell culture technique and single channel patch clamp
