    In previous studies, we showed for the first time that prenatal stress in rats produces long-term alterations of formalin-induced pain behavior that are dependent on age and sex, and we demonstrated an important role of the serotonergic system in mechanisms of prenatal stress (Butkevich, I.P. and Vershinina, E.A., 2001; Butkevich, I.P. and Vershinina, E.A., 2003; Butkevich, I.P., Mikhailenko, V.A., Vershinina, E.A., Khozhai, L.I., Grigorev, I.P., Otellin, V.A., 2005; Butkevich, I.P., Mikhailenko, V.A., Khozhai, L.I., Otellin, V.A., 2006). In the present study, we focus on the influence of the maternal corticosterone milieu and its role in the effects of stress during pregnancy on formalin-induced pain and the corticosterone response to it in male and female offspring of different ages. For this purpose, we used adrenalectomy (AD) in female rats 3-4 weeks before mating (as distinct from AD typically performed at the beginning of pregnancy). Since AD is considered a reliable method to treat hypercortisolism, researches on the effects of long-term AD in dams on the systems responsible for adaptive behavior in offspring are important (such studies are not described in the literature). The results demonstrate that the differences in the corticosterone response to injection of formalin and saline are obvious in 90-day-old (adult) female offspring but masked in 25-day-old ones. AD promoted the corticosterone response to formalin-induced pain but not to injection of saline in prenatally non-stressed female offspring of both ages. Prenatal stress canceled the differences in corticosterone response to injection of formalin and saline in 25-day-old offspring of AD dams and in adult offspring of sham-operated (SH) dams but caused similar differences in adult offspring of AD dams. Sex differences were found in basal corticosterone levels in AD prenatally stressed rats of both age groups, with a higher level in females, and in the corticosterone response to formalin-induced pain in the adult rats of all groups investigated, with higher corticosterone levels in females. In regard to pain behavior, AD induced significant changes in flexing+shaking in prenatally non-stressed adult offspring and canceled the differences in this behavior between non-stressed and stressed 25-day-old offspring. There were sex differences in pain behavior of the adult rats: greater flexing+shaking in AD non-stressed males but in SH non-stressed females; greater licking in prenatally-stressed AD and SH females. These results indicate that the long-term influences of maternal corticosterone on formalin-induced pain and the corticosterone response to it are determined by the sex and age of the offspring and suggest that other mechanisms, including serotonergic ones revealed in our previous studies, are involved in the effects of prenatal stress on inflammatory pain behavior

E. Mikhailenko, V. L. Mikhailenko, A. S. Osipenko Odessa Regional Charitable Foundation for Rehabilitation disabled children “Future”, Odessa, Ukraine Odessa National Medical University, Odessa, Ukraine Reference The majority of children with musculoskeletal disorders are children with cerebral palsy (89 %). The prevalence of cerebral palsy in Ukraine is 2.5 % per 1,000 newborns. At present, many methods of treatment and rehabilitation of children with central and peripheral nervous system lesions have been proposed, which leads to pronounced motor disorders, but researchers have not reached the common view for optimal selection and combination of rehabilitation methods. The purpose of our work was to trace and identify the most effective methods of physical rehabilitation for children with organic lesions of the central and peripheral nervous system in the form of disorders of the musculoskeletal system of all ages and various motor disorders according to the international classification of large motor functions (GMFCS) that can be adapted and applied in the complex rehabilitation on the basis of the Odessa regional charitable fund for the rehabilitation of disabled children “Future”. We studied the following methods of physical rehabilitation: Vojta-therapy, Bobath-therapy, Neurokinetherapy (Smoljaninov A. method), Sensory integration (SI), Therapeutic physical culture, Rehabilitation cage, Tyrosolution, GEO — system, Lokomat, Lokosistema, Dynamic proprioceptive correction (DPC), Mechanotherapy, Hydrokinesiotherapy, Kinesio taping. It was traced for the rehabilitation of 2012 patients aged 2-16 years old with a diagnosis of cerebral palsy I, II, III, IV levels of motor disorders in the International Classification of Large Motor Functions (GMFCS) for 1 year. Patients during the course of rehabilitation (2 weeks) received complex rehabilitation, observations were carried out at the beginning and at the end of the course of treatment. We have developed and adapted for our center a protocol for the appointment of physical rehabilitation methods. Our conclusions — it is necessary to apply in the treatment of various methods of physical rehabilitation, which allows expanding the range of assistance to patients with damage to the central and peripheral nervous system, which leads to severe motor disorders. Keywords: cerebral palsy, complex rehabilitation, methods of physical rehabilitation

    Heterogeneity of the infant stage of rat development: inflammatory pain response, depression-related behavior, and effects of prenatal stress

    No full text
    The infant stage of rat development is a very important period for potential correction of adverse consequences produced by negative prenatal events. However the age limit for this correction needs to be investigated. The last prenatal and first two weeks after birth are "critical" for maturation of the nociceptive and emotional systems. Clinical observations suggest a correlation between persistent pain response and emotional behavior. In infant male rats of different ages, we studied indices of the inflammatory pain response (the number of flexes+shakes in the formalin test), depression-related behavior (immobility in the forced swim test) and the relations between them, as well as the effects of prenatal stress on these indices. Furthermore, we assessed the trend of body weight and the relations between body weight and the depression- and pain-related behaviors. We demonstrate heterogeneity of the infant stage: control prenatally non-stressed rat pups showed significantly lower immobility at 7 days of age than at 10 days; prenatal stress caused an increase of immobility and the number of flexes+shakes in 7-8-day-old pups but not in 10-11-day-olds. These findings should be taken into account in the treatment of abnormalities of emotional and inflammatory pain-related behaviors produced by prenatal stressful events. The present data and our previous findings indicate that the deficiency of body weight in prenatally stressed newborns may predict the development of abnormalities in inflammatory pain-related responses during postnatal ontogeny

    Fe3+ distribution and Fe3+/sigma Fe-Oxygen fugacity variations in Kimberlite-Borne Eclogite Xenoliths, with comments on Clinopyroxene-Garnet Oxy-thermobarometry

    No full text
    The valence state of iron in mantle-derived melts, such as mid-ocean ridge basalt, is a useful proxy for oxygen fugacity (integral O-2). On subduction, oceanic crust undergoes metamorphic reactions that alter its initial integral O-2, generating compositional and redox heterogeneity in the supra-subduction zone and in the convecting mantle source of oceanic basalts. Kimberlite-borne eclogite xenoliths with ancient oceanic crustal protoliths represent an important archive to trace these processes in deep time. We determined, by Mossbauer spectroscopy, Fe3+/sigma Fe for garnet (0.03-0.15, average 0.08; n = 13) and clinopyroxene (0.05-0.37, average 0.23; n = 11) in bimineralic eclogite xenoliths from the Udachnaya kimberlite pipe (Siberian craton), combined the results with high-quality literature data to estimate bulk Fe3+/sigma Fe and integral O-2, assessed associated uncertainties and discussed petrological implications. The incorporation of Fe3+ in, and distribution between, eclogite minerals is controlled by chemical composition (X), temperature (T), pressure (P) and integral O-2. Therefore, Fe3+/sigma Fe in garnet alone is an imperfect proxy for bulk Fe3+/sigma Fe. Values for the distribution of Fe3+/sigma Fe between clinopyroxene and garnet (D(Fe3+/sigma Fe)(cpx-grt)) range from 1.4 +/- 0.1 to 20 +/- 13 and correlate strongly with the abundance distribution of another polyvalent element, vanadium (r(2) = 0.80, n = 28), probably because both vary as a function of X-T-P-integral O-2. This allows to estimate Fe3+/sigma Fe in clinopyroxene and bulk rocks (0.01-0.32, average 0.06, n = 159) for the majority of literature data where only garnet Fe3+/sigma Fe is known. Low Fe3+/sigma Fe is retained in many high-Al2O3 eclogites with plagioclase-rich cumulate protoliths (Eu/Eu*> > 1), despite extended residence in the cratonic lithosphere. Bulk Fe3+/sigma Fe increases during mantle metasomatism but is not particularly linked to enrichment in highly incompatible elements. Low grossular content in garnet ensuing from mantle metasomatism, especially at low temperature, limits uptake of Fe3+, which is accommodated in clinopyroxene instead, leading to very high D(Fe3+/sigma Fe)(cpx-grt). Eclogite oxybarometry requires that Fe3+/sigma Fe of only garnet be known, whereby the input temperatures should be calculated with all Fe as Fe2+. For temperatures projected onto regional steady-state geothermal gradients, integral O-2 values relative to the fayalite-magnetite-quartz buffer ( increment log integral O-2(FMQ)) range from -5.9 to -0.2 (average - 3.1, n = 174), and are too low to stabilise oxidised sulphur in all and oxidised carbon in the vast majority of samples. Thus, ancient oceanic crust was a sink rather than a source of oxygen. In particular CaO-rich eclogite xenoliths occasionally are corundum-bearing and SiO2-undersaturated, typically with silica-deficient clinopyroxene with cations per formula unit <1.97 for 6 O anions, resulting in overestimated integral O-2.For the remaining samples, cryptic metasomatism, with enrichment in highly incompatible elements, is clearly focused in the integral O-2 interval of FMQ-4 to FMQ-3, indicating that mantle metasomatism can have both an oxidising and a reducing effect on eclogite. Unmetasomatised bimineralic eclogites have lower integral O-2 than coesite-bearing ones, reflecting reduction during metamorphism and silica-consuming partial melting of ancient subducted oceanic crust
