BACKGROUND: Patients in psychiatric care wards face serious problems in terms of declining physical function due to aging and long-term hospitalization. This study aimed to determine the current status of locomotive syndrome (LS) in long-term inpatients in psychiatric care wards and to clarify the factors associated with LS risk severity. METHODS: The study included 84 patients admitted to psychiatric care wards who underwent the LS stage test. We investigated the participants' age, length of stay, antipsychotic drug use, body mass index, and activities of daily living were assessed and analyzed the correlations between the LS stage test and each assessment item. RESULTS: The participants' mean age was 60.0 ± 13.6 years, with those aged ≥60 years comprising nearly 60% of the sample. The participants' mean length of stay was 10.5 ± 12.0 years, and over half of the patients stayed >5 years: 17.9% stayed between 5 and 10 years, while 36.9% stayed ≥10 years. Nearly 90% of participants stayed for >1 year. The LS stage test showed that 60.7% of the participants were stage 3, 21.4% were stage 2, 14.3% were stage 1, and 3.6% had no risk. The results of the LS stage indicated significant correlations with age, length of stay, and the Barthel Index scores. CONCLUSIONS: Patients who stay in a psychiatric care unit for a long period experience declining physical function, which is associated with aging and long-term hospitalization and might affect their activities of daily living.

Whereas early rehabilitation improves the patients' physical function in patients with cerebral infarction and hemorrhage, complications in the early stage are the main barriers in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Therefore, the clinical impact of early rehabilitation in patients with SAH is not well documented. We sought to investigate whether early mobilization is associated with favorable discharge disposition and functional status in patients with SAH.Hospitalization data of 35 patients (65.7 ± 13.7 years, 37.1% men) were retrospectively reviewed. The early and delayed mobilization groups were defined as those who had and had not participated in walking rehabilitation on day 14, respectively. We investigated whether patients were discharged or transferred to another hospital and assessed their functional status using the Functional Ambulation Categories, Ambulation Index, Glasgow Outcome Scale, and modified Rankin Scale scores.Nine patients (69.2%) in the early mobilization group and one patient (4.5%) in the delayed mobilization group were discharged home directly (P < .001). In multivariate logistic regression analysis, early mobilization was independently associated with home discharge after adjustment using the World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies grade (adjusted odds ratio = 30.20, 95% CI = 2.77-329.00, P < .01). Early mobilization was associated with favorable functional status at discharge through multivariate linear regression analysis (standardized beta = 0.64 with P < .001 for the Functional Ambulation Category and beta = -0.62 with P < .001 for the modified Rankin Scale, respectively).Early mobilization was associated with home discharge and favorable functional status at discharge. Larger prospective studies are warranted.

ABSTRACT: The long-term exercise capacity of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is not clear. The 6-minute walking distance (6MWD) of four patients with COVID-19-associated ARDS was followed for 6 months after admission to the hospital. These four patients were admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) of our hospital and received mechanical ventilation. Rehabilitation therapy (positioning, postural drainage, and passive range of motion exercises) was started after ICU admission. Mobilization therapy, including muscle power training, sitting on the edge of the bed, and endurance training, was performed after the end of sedation. The Medical Research Council sum scores and Barthel Indexes for the patients improved after ICU discharge and completely recovered 6 months after admission to the hospital. However, the 6MWD of the four patients remained shorter than those of healthy persons of the same age at 6 months after admission to the hospital. Furthermore, the minimum SpO2 during the 6-minute walking test remained below 96%. It is possible that patients who receive mechanical ventilation due to COVID-19-associated ARDS have decreased long-term exercise capacity, despite muscle power and activities of daily living recovering completely.

Study design: Retrospective study.Objectives: To determine the best time to introduce non-invasive ventilation (NIV), clinical effectiveness of NIV, and complications of long-term use of NIV in patients with high-level cervical spinal cord injuries (CSCI).Setting: Public Hospital, Japan.Methods: The subjects were 14 tracheostomy ventilator-dependent patients, with above C3 spinal lesions, and American Spinal Cord Injury Association Impairment Scale A (ASIA A). They were referred to our clinic between 2005 and 2010 for switching mechanical ventilation support system from tracheostomy ventilation to NIV. Respiratory function tests were measured before and after NIV. Patients who were successfully switched to NIV were interviewed two years later and asked about their health and social status.Results: Eleven patients were successfully switched to NIV. The success rate of switching to NIV within 1 year was also high (P < 0.05). NIV improved the vital capacity of C2 ASIA A and C1 ASIA A patients with adequate respiratory accessory muscle strength sufficient to expand the chest wall. The time on ventilator-free spontaneous breathing increased or did not deteriorate after NIV. Three C1 ASIA A patients with insufficient muscle strength to expand the thorax mastered glossopharyngeal breathing and enjoyed a short ventilator-free time. All patients who were successfully switched to NIV lived in the community. Two patients developed minor complications after discharge and two died later for unrelated causes.Conclusion: Ventilator-dependent patients should be switched to NIV within 1 year of injury. Long-term NIV can improve respiratory function and clinical outcome.

Objective: Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) has beneficial effects on metabolism as well as the peripheral and central nervous systems. The aim of this study was to assess the response of serum BDNF concentration ([BDNF]s) to wheelchair half marathon race in individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI). Design: Prospective observational study. Setting: The 34th Oita International Wheelchair Marathon Race in Japan. Participants: Nine cervical SCIs (CSCI) and 8 thoracic and lumber SCIs (LSCI) male athletes. Interventions: Wheelchair half-Marathon Race. Outcome measures: [BDNF]s, plasma concentrations of adrenaline ([Ad]p), noradrenaline ([Nor]p), and cortisol ([Cor]p), hematocrit, and platelet count were measured the day before, immediately after, and an hour after the race. Results: [BDNF]s increased significantly immediately after the race in both groups (CSCI; P = 0.0055, LSCI; P = 0.0312) but returned to the baseline levels at one hour after the race. However, [BDNF]s immediately and one hour after the race were significantly higher in LSCI than in CSCI (immediately after the race; P = 0.0037, 1 h after the race; P = 0.0206). Hematocrit and platelet count remained unchanged throughout the study. In LSCI, [Ad]p, [Nor]p and [Cor]p increased significantly immediately after and one hour after the race, compared with the baseline values (P < 0.05). On the other hand, these variables remained unchanged throughout the study in the CSCI. Conclusions: [BDNF]s increased significantly from the baseline in both LCSI and CSCI but was higher in LSCI than in CSCI immediately after and one hour after the race.

A 65-yr-old man visited a primary care hospital with a continued fever of 38°C for 3 days. As his fever did not improve until 8 days after, he was admitted into another acute care hospital, where his respiratory condition rapidly worsened. Therefore, the patient was transferred to our hospital. On the day of transfer (day 1), he was started on mechanical ventilation. COVID-19 was diagnosed using a polymerase chain reaction assay 6 days after admission (day 6). The rehabilitation therapy was begun on day 6. The initial rehabilitation programs focused on positioning and postural drainage. The patient was extubated on day 19, and he began standing and stepping on the same day. Gait exercises began on day 22, and endurance training was initiated on day 28. The patient was discharged from our hospital on day 34 as he met the physical function milestones. One month after discharge, the Medical Research Council sum score and Barthel Index had each improved; therefore, muscle strength and daily activities had returned to normal. It was assumed that mobilization should be performed as soon as possible after the end of sedation during the acute phase of severe COVID-19 infection in patients receiving mechanical ventilation.

Background/Objective: Previous research indicates a better improvement of functional independence measure (FIM) at discharge in acute-stroke patients who received physiatrist and registered therapist operating rehabilitation (PROr) within 24 hrs compared with those who received after 24 hrs was reported. The aim of this prospective cohort study was to determine whether PROr provided within 24 hrs for new-onset stroke patients affects home-discharge rate at 6 months later.Methods: Acute new-onset stroke patients admitted to our hospital and received PROr (n = 227) and were conducted into 3 categories based on the time until starting PROr; within 24 hrs (very early mobilization; VEM; n = 47), 24-48 hrs (early mobilization; EM; n = 77) and >48 hrs (later mobilization; LM; n = 103). Home-discharge rates as well as changes in FIM, and rates of recurrence and mortality during the 6-month follow-up were assessed.Results: A total of 139 patients [VEM (n = 32), EM (n = 43), LM (n = 64)] could be followed throughout the 6-month period. The home-discharge rate was ∼80% and significantly higher by ∼20% in VEM than EM. The gains in the motor subscale of FIM at 6 months were significantly higher in VEM than LM, while the mortality and recurrent rates were not significantly different among the categories.Conclusions: Starting PROr within 24 hrs of new-onset stroke may help to increase home-discharge rates at 6-month follow-up, simultaneously with a higher FIM. Very early mobilization in our hospital did not increase the risks of recurrence or death.

Objective: To determine the relationship between physical findings, wheelchair sitting time, and interface pressure on ischial region in subjects with spinal cord injury (SCI).Design: Cross-sectional study.Setting: Rehabilitation center in Japan.Participants: Manual wheelchair users with chronic SCI (n = 45).Interventions: Pressure ulcers (PU) were diagnosed by inspection, palpation, and ultrasonography. Self-reports were obtained on wheelchair sitting time and pressure mapping was recorded while the subject was seated on the wheelchair.Outcome measures: Subjects were divided into those with ultrasonographically low-echoic lesions (PU-positive group, n = 11) and no such lesions (PU-negative group, n = 34). Outcome measures included wheelchair sitting time and interface pressure at bilateral ischial regions.Results: Using ultrasonography, 13 low-echoic lesions were identified in 11 subjects of the PU-positive group. The pressure duration was longer and interface pressure was significantly higher in subjects of the PU-positive group compared with those of the PU-negative group (P < 0.05 and P < 0.001, respectively).Conclusions: This is the first study to evaluate the interrelationship between physical findings, sitting time, and ultrasonographically measured interface pressure on ischial region area in subjects with spinal cord injury. To prevent pressure ulcers, we recommend avoidance of prolonged wheelchair sitting and measures that can reduce the interface pressure. These variables should be carefully tailored to the needs of the individual subjects with SCI.

Background: Thromboembolic events are rare but critical complications in childhood nephrotic syndrome. The veins are more commonly affected, while arterial thrombosis is extremely rare but often life-threatening. Herein, we describe the clinical course of a 10-years-old girl with catastrophic multiple arterial thrombosis at the primary onset of nephrotic syndrome who underwent bilateral above-knee amputation. Case diagnosis/treatment: A previous healthy 10-years-old girl contracted the influenza B virus. Five days later, she suddenly developed severe ischemia in both legs. Physical examination showed eyelid and leg edema, and laboratory tests revealed hypoalbuminemia and acute kidney injury. After undergoing contrast-enhanced computed tomography, the patient was diagnosed with multiple arterial thrombosis (including the bilateral iliac arteries) due to nephrotic syndrome. Despite the performance of surgical thrombectomies, fasciotomy, and systematic heparinization, she required bilateral above-knee amputation. The patient achieved spontaneous remission of nephrotic syndrome, and her renal function fully recovered. There were no findings suggestive of secondary nephrotic syndrome and antiphospholipid syndrome. Her protein C and protein S concentrations were slightly decreased at admission. However, whole-exome sequencing revealed a thrombotic risk variant (T630I) in the PROS1 gene encoding protein S. This missense variant is often reported in patients with thrombosis or protein S deficiency, and may result in a thrombotic predisposition in some situations, such as nephrotic syndrome. Conclusions: Arterial thrombosis is a rare complication; however, it must be considered, especially in patients with new-onset nephrotic syndrome. Early recognition is important for early intervention and prevention of serious sequelae.

PURPOSE: Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is an important neurotrophin. The present study investigated the effects of head-out water immersion (HOI) on serum BDNF concentrations. METHODS: Eight healthy men performed 20 min head-out water immersion at 42 °C (hot-HOI) and 35 °C (neutral-HOI). These experimental trials were administered in a randomised order separated by at least 7 days. Venous blood samples were withdrawn at rest, immediately after the 20-min HOI, as well as at 15 and 30 min after the end of the HOI. Serum BDNF and S100β, plasma cortisol, platelet and monocyte counts, and core body temperature (Tcb) were measured. RESULTS: Tcb was higher at the end of the hot-HOI and 15 min after hot-HOI (p < 0.01), but recovered to pre-HOI level at 30 min after hot-HOI. No change in Tcb was recorded during neutral-HOI. BDNF level was higher (p < 0.05) at the end of the hot-HOI and at 15 min after the end of hot-HOI, and returned to the baseline at 30 min after hot-HOI. S100β, platelet count and monocyte count remained stable throughout the study. Cortisol level was lower at the end of the hot-HOI and returned to pre-HOI level during the recovery period. BDNF and S100β, cortisol, and platelet and monocyte counts did not change throughout the neutral-HOI study. CONCLUSIONS: The present findings suggested that the increase in BDNF during 20-min hot-HOI was induced by hyperthermia through enhanced production, rather than by changes in permeability of the blood-brain barrier (BBB), platelet clotting mechanisms or secretion from monocytes.

BACKGROUND: Lumbar spondylolysis is a defect in the pars interarticularis that is common in young athletes; the stress distribution at the pars interarticularis is the highest in extension and rotation movements. The paraspinal muscles play an important role in stabilization of the lumbar spine; however, no study has assessed the properties of paraspinal muscles in athletes with lumbar spondylolysis. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the properties of paraspinal muscles in athletes with lumbar spondylolysis. DESIGN: Cross-sectional study. SETTING: Laboratory. PARTICIPANTS: Six high school baseball players with terminal-stage lumbar spondylolysis and 11 high school baseball players without organic lumbar lesions of similar anthropometric characteristics. METHODS: All subjects performed the unsupported trunk holding test combined with surface electromyographic (EMG) power spectral analysis until exhaustion. The results of EMG power spectral analysis were compared between the spondylolysis and control groups. MAIN OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS: The median frequency (MF) was computed from the raw EMG signal of the erector spinae and multifidus during trunk holding test using fast Fourier transform spectrum analysis. The initial MF and MF slope were calculated. RESULTS: No significant differences in endurance time were found between the spondylolysis and control groups. The initial MF and the MF slopes of the erector spinae and multifidus were significantly lower in the spondylolysis group than in the control group. CONCLUSIONS: The results suggest lower fast-twitch motor unit recruitment in the erector spinae and multifidus of high school baseball players with terminal-stage lumbar spondylolysis compared with the control. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: IV.

INTRODUCTION: We reported previously that exercise significantly increases plasma adrenaline and oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) in healthy subjects but not in persons with spinal cord injury (SCI). Since oxLDL and adrenaline levels are associated with oxidant/antioxidant balance, and exercise training elicits production of reactive oxygen species, we elucidated the effects of exercise on adrenaline, oxidant/antioxidant balance and oxLDL in individuals with SCI. CASE PRESENTATION: Eight subjects with cervical spinal cord injury (CSCI) and nine subjects with lower lesion of SCI (lower SCI (LSCI)) participated in a wheelchair half marathon race, and blood samples were collected before (pre), immediately after (post) and 1 h after the race (post 1 h). The blood samples were used to determine adrenaline, derivatives of reactive oxygen metabolites (d-ROMs) and biological antioxidant potential (BAP), both as markers for oxidant/antioxidant balance. DISCUSSION: Pre-serum oxLDL levels were 147.2±8.1 and 97.0±10.4 U l-1 (mean±s.e.m.) in LCSI and CSCI subjects, respectively, and remained stable throughout the study. Adrenaline levels were higher in LSCI athletes than in CSCI athletes, especially post half marathon. Serum d-ROMs level did not change between pre and post in both groups. The mean BAP was significantly higher in LSCI than in CSCI subjects (2574±94.6 vs 2118±94.6 μmol l-1) at post, whereas the oxidative stress index (d-ROMs/BAP) was similar in the two groups throughout the study. In conclusion, exercise did not increase the d-ROMs or d-ROMs/BAP ratio in CSCI and LSCI subjects. The lack of increase in the plasma oxLDL level in SCI subjects was not due to the lack of response of adrenaline to exercise.

The efficacy of olfactory mucosal autografts (OMAs) for chronic spinal cord injury (SCI) has been reported, but there is no report documenting electrophysiological conductivity via the emergence of motor evoked potentials (MEPs). We report the case of a 39-year-old man with chronic, complete SCI at T8, who exhibited MEPs after OMA transplantation, and, with intensive rehabilitation, was ultimately able to ambulate with short leg braces and Lofstrand crutches. The initial injury occurred in a motor vehicle accident in November 1999 and resulted in a complete loss of sensorimotor function below T8. OMA transplantation to the injury site was performed in March 2010 in combination with intensive pre- and postoperative rehabilitation. The patient exhibited voluntary electromyograph (EMG) activity and MEPs at 96 and 144 weeks after transplantation and he was was ambulatory with short leg braces and Lofstrand crutches at 144 weeks after transplantation. We were able to elicit MEPs after OMA with intensive rehabilitation. To our knowledge, this is the first report of recovery of electrophysiological conductivity in the spinal cord after any type of treatment for chronic, complete SCI.

STUDY DESIGN: Nonrandomized study. OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of long and intensive exercise on interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in athletes with cervical spinal cord injuries (CSCI). SETTING: The 30th Oita International Wheelchair Marathon Race. METHODS: Blood samples from six athletes with CSCI and eight athletes with thoracic and lumber spinal cord injuries (SCI) participating in wheelchair half marathon race were collected before the race, immediately after the race and 2 h after the race. IL-6, TNF-α, adrenaline and blood cell counts were measured. RESULTS: Monocyte count remained stable throughout the study in the CSCI group but was significantly high at 2 h after the race in the SCI group. Plasma IL-6 concentrations were significantly elevated immediately after the race in both groups, although the levels in CSCI were significantly lower than in the SCI group. Plasma adrenaline was significantly elevated immediately after the race in the SCI group but recovered at 2 h after the race. In contrast, plasma adrenaline did not change in the CSCI group throughout the study and was significantly lower than in the SCI group. Plasma TNF-α did not change throughout the study in the SCI group compared with a significant decrease at 2 h after the race in the CSCI group. CONCLUSION: Long and intensive exercise increased IL-6 in the CSCI group despite the small muscle mass and lack of sympathetic nervous system. The post-race fall in plasma TNF-α in the CSCI group could be related to the inhibitory effect of rising IL-6 in the presence of normal monocyte count and stable adrenaline level.

Experiments were carried out in urethane-anesthetized, artificially ventilated, adult male Wistar rats. Microinjections (50 nL) of N-methyl-d-aspartic acid (1, 5, and 10 mmol/L), but not artificial cerebrospinal fluid, into the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus (ARCN) elicited increases in mean arterial pressure (5.7+/-0.5, 13.2+/-1.4, and 17.3+/-1.1 mm Hg, respectively) and heart rate (24.3+/-4.3, 49.3+/-5.2, and 75.2+/-8.0 bpm, respectively). ARCN stimulation was accomplished by microinjections of a maximally effective concentration of N-methyl-d-aspartic acid (10 mmol/L). The tachycardic responses to the ARCN stimulation were significantly attenuated after bilateral vagotomy. Intrathecal injections of ionotropic glutamate receptor (iGLUR) antagonists completely blocked pressor responses to the ARCN stimulation, whereas the tachycardic responses were significantly attenuated but not abolished. Intrathecal injections of iGLUR antagonists at T9 to T10, combined with bilateral vagotomy, completely blocked the tachycardic responses to ARCN stimulation. ARCN stimulation with N-methyl-d-aspartic acid elicited increased activities of the greater splanchnic nerve (91.7+/-14.8%) and the renal nerve (109.3+/-13%). Intrathecal injections of iGLURs at T9 to T10 blocked the increase in the greater splanchnic nerve activity in response to ARCN stimulation. These results indicate the following: (1) the chemical stimulation of the ARCN elicits increases in mean arterial pressure, greater splanchnic nerve and renal nerve activity, and heart rate; (2) the increases in mean arterial pressure and sympathetic nerve activity are mediated via the activation of spinal cord iGLURs; and (3) the increases in heart rate are mediated via the activation of spinal cord iGLURs and decreases in vagal input to the heart.

Urocortin 1 (Ucn1) and urocortin 3 (Ucn3) are new members of the corticotrophin-releasing factor (CRF) peptide family. Ucn1 is a ligand for both the CRF type 1 receptors (CRF(1)Rs) and the CRF type 2 receptors (CRF(2)Rs), whereas Ucn3 is a high-affinity ligand for the CRF(2)Rs. Recently, we reported that Ucn3 microinjections into the medial nucleus tractus solitarius (mNTS) elicit decreases in mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR) (Nakamura T, Kawabe K, Sapru HN. Am J Physiol Heart Circ Physiol 296: H325-H332, 2009). The presence of CRF(2)Rs on afferent terminals has been reported in the mNTS of the rat. It was hypothesized that activation of CRF(2)Rs on afferent terminals in the mNTS may release glutamate, which, in turn, may elicit decreases in MAP and HR via activation of ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGLURs). This hypothesis was tested in urethane-anesthetized, artificially ventilated, adult male Wistar rats. Microinjections (100 nl) of Ucn1 (0.12 mM) into the mNTS elicited decreases in MAP and HR. The responses were partially blocked by microinjections of iGLUR antagonists into the mNTS. On the other hand, the decreases in MAP and HR elicited by microinjections of Ucn3 (0.06 mM) into the mNTS were completely blocked by microinjections of iGLUR antagonists into the mNTS. These results indicate that activation of CRF(2)Rs in the mNTS, by Ucn1 and Ucn3, releases glutamate, which, in turn, elicits decreases in MAP and HR via activation of iGLURs.

Urocortin 3 (Ucn3) is a new member of the corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) peptide family and is considered to be a specific and endogenous ligand for CRF type 2 receptors (CRF2Rs). The presence of CRF(2)Rs has been reported in the nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS) of the rat. It was hypothesized that the activation of CRF2Rs in the medial NTS (mNTS) may play a role in cardiovascular regulation. This hypothesis was tested in urethane-anesthetized, artificially ventilated, adult male Wistar rats. Microinjections (100 nl) of Ucn3 (0.03, 0.06, 0.12, and 0.25 mM) into the mNTS of anesthetized rats elicited decreases in mean arterial pressure (MAP: 5.0 +/- 1.0, 21.6 +/- 2.6, 20.0 +/- 2.8, and 12.7 +/- 3.4 mmHg, respectively) and heart rate (HR: 7.8 +/- 2.6, 46.2 +/- 9.3, 34.5 +/- 8.4, and 16.6 +/- 4.9 beats/min, respectively). Microinjections of artificial cerebrospinal fluid (100 nl) into the mNTS did not elicit cardiovascular responses. Maximum decreases in MAP and HR were elicited by 0.06 mM concentration of Ucn3. Cardiovascular responses to Ucn3 were similar in unanesthetized midcollicular decerebrate rats. A bilateral vagotomy completely abolished Ucn3-induced bradycardia. The decreases in MAP and HR elicited by Ucn3 (0.06 mM) were completely blocked by astressin (1 mM; nonselective CRFR antagonist) and K41498 (5 mM; selective CRF2R antagonist). Microinjections of Ucn3 (0.06 mM) into the mNTS decreased the efferent greater splanchnic nerve activity. After the blockade of CRF2Rs in the mNTS, a Ucn3-induced decrease in the efferent sympathetic nerve discharge was abolished. These results indicate that Ucn3 microinjections into the mNTS exerted excitatory effects on the mNTS neurons via CRF2Rs, leading to depressor and bradycardic responses.

This study was designed to examine the mechanism of heart rate (HR) responses elicited by the stimulation of hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN). Experiments were done in urethane-anesthetized, barodenervated, adult, male Wistar rats. Chemical stimulation of the PVN by unilateral microinjections of N-methyl-d-aspartic acid (NMDA) elicited increases in HR which were attenuated by bilateral vagotomy. PVN-induced tachycardia was also attenuated by the blockade of the spinal ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGLURs) which was accomplished by intrathecal injections at T9-T10 or direct application at T1-T4 of iGLUR antagonists. The blockade of spinal iGLURs combined with bilateral vagotomy completely blocked PVN-induced tachycardia. Blockade of GABA receptors in the medial nucleus tractus solitarius (mNTS) also attenuated the PVN-induced tachycardia. Complete blockade of PVN-induced tachycardia was also observed after the blockade of iGLURs in both the spinal cord and mNTS. Combination of the blockade of mNTS GABA receptors and spinal iGLURs also abolished PVN-induced tachycardia. PVN-induced tachycardia was not altered by the blockade of spinal vasopressin or oxytocin receptors at T1-T4. These results suggested that in barodenervated rats: 1) tachycardia elicited by the chemical stimulation of the PVN was mediated via both inhibition of vagal and activation of sympathetic outflows to the heart, 2) the vagal inhibition contributing to the PVN-induced tachycardia was mediated by the iGLURs and GABARs in the mNTS, 3) sympathetic activation contributing to the PVN-induced tachycardia was mediated via spinal iGLURs, and 4) spinal vasopressin and oxytocin receptors were not involved in the mediation of PVN-induced tachycardia.

This study was designed to delineate the medullary and spinal pathways mediating the cardiovascular responses to cold pressor test (CPT) and to identify neurotransmitters in these pathways. Experiments were done in barodenervated, urethane-anesthetized, male Wistar rats. The CPT was performed by immersing the limbs and ventral half of the body of the rat in ice-cold water (0.5 degrees C) for 2 min. CPT elicited an immediate increase in mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR), and greater splanchnic nerve activity (GSNA). Bilateral blockade of ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGLURs) in the rostral ventrolateral medullary pressor area (RVLM) significantly attenuated the CPT-induced responses. Bilateral blockade of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptors, but not iGLURs, in the nucleus ambiguus (nAmb) significantly reduced the CPT-induced increases in HR, but not MAP. Blockade of spinal iGLURs caused a significant reduction in CPT-induced increases in MAP and GSNA, whereas the increases in HR were reduced to a lesser extent. Combination of the blockade of spinal iGLURs and bilateral vagotomy or intravenous atropine almost completely blocked CPT-induced tachycardia. Midcollicular decerebration significantly reduced CPT-induced increases in MAP and HR. These results indicated that: 1) CPT-induced increases in MAP, HR, and GSNA were mediated by activation of iGLURs in the RVLM and spinal cord, 2) activation of GABA receptors in the nAmb also contributed to the CPT-induced tachycardic responses, and 3) brain areas rostral to the brain stem also participated in the CPT-induced pressor and tachycardic responses.
