Effect of the Entorhinal Cortex on Ictal Discharges in Low-Mg2+-Induced Epileptic Hippocampal Slice Models by Ye-Jun Shi, Xin-Wei Gong, Hai-Qing Gong, Pei-Ji Liang, Pu-Ming Zhang, Qin-Chi Lu

“…Here, multielectrode recording techniques were used to study the spatiotemporal characteristics of epileptiform discharges in adult mouse hippocampal slices and combined EC-hippocampal slices and determine whether and how the EC affects the hippocampal neuron discharge patterns. The results showed that low-Mg2+ artificial cerebrospinal fluid induced interictal discharges in hippocampal slices, whereas, in combined EC-hippocampal slices the discharge pattern was alternated between interictal and ictal discharges, and ictal discharges initiated in the EC and propagated to the hippocampus. …”

Isosteviol Sodium Promotes Neurological Function Recovery in a Model of Spinal Cord Injury in Rats by Tongxia Zhang, Tao Zhang, Han Yu, Lingyi Chi

“…Results We found that STVNa improved spinal cord functional recovery in rats, as evidenced by enhanced BBB locomotor rating scale, angle of inclination, decreased cavity of spinal cord damage, and neuron death in vivo. In addition, STVNa reduced inflammation in rats following SCI, as demonstrated by a reduction in proinflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF)‐α, interleukin (IL)‐6, and interleukin (IL)‐1β. …”
