At a quarterly meeting of this Association held last year at Nottingham, we showed the results of our experiments with toxins upon the spinal cord and brain of rabbits. Our main conclusion was, that the central nervous system could be infected by toxins passing up along the lymph channels of the perineural sheath. The method we employed in our experiments consisted in placing a celloidin capsule filled with a broth culture of an organism under the sciatic nerve or under the skin of the cheek; and we invariably found a resulting degeneration in the spinal cord or brain, according to the situation of the capsule. These lesions we found to be identical in morphological type and anatomical distribution with those found in the cord of early tabes dorsalis and in the brain and cord of general paralysis of the insane. The conclusion suggested by our work was that these two diseases, if toxic, were most probably infections of lymphogenous origin.

3-Hydroxyl-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase inhibitors (statins) have been shown to reduce the incidence of myocardial infarction independent of their lipid-lowering effects. Nitric oxide (NO) in the central nervous system contributes to cardiovascular regulatory mechanisms. Imbalance between nitric oxide (NO) and superoxide anion (O 2 . − ) in the brain may contribute to enhanced sympathetic drive in heart failure (HF). This study was done to determine whether treatment with atorvastatin (ATS) ameliorates the imbalance between NO and O 2 . − production in the brain stem and contributes to improvement of left ventricular (LV) function. Methods and Results: Myocardial infarction (MI) was induced by ligation of the left coronary artery or sham surgery. Subsequently, mice were treated with ATS (10 μg/kg) (MI + ATS), or vehicle (MI + V). After 5 weeks, echocardiography revealed left ventricular dilatation in MI mice. Realtime RT-PCR indicated an increase in the mRNA expression of the LV hypertrophy markers, atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP). Neuronal NOS (nNOS) and endothelial NOS (eNOS) mRNA expression were significantly reduced, while that of NAD(P)H oxidase subunit (gp91phox) expression was elevated in the brain stem of MI mice. Compared with sham-operated mice, ATS-treated mice showed reduced cardiac dilatation, decreased ANP and BNP in the LV. ATS also reduced gp91phox expression and increased nNOS mRNA expression in the brain stem, while no changes in eNOS and iNOS were observed. Conclusion: These findings suggest that ATS reduces oxidative stress and increases neuronal NOS in the brain stem, and improves left ventricular function in heart failure.

Separation of neonatal rodent pups from their mothers has been used as a model to study the effects of early life stress (ELS) on behavioral and physiological responses in adults. Using an Induction-Delay-Expression experimental paradigm, our previous studies demonstrate that a wide range of stressors administered during an induction period produces hypertensive response sensitization (HTRS) in response to a subsequent pro-hypertensive stimulus. HTRS is accompanied by activation of the brain renin-angiotensin system (RAS) and CNS inflammation. The present study investigated whether ELS induces HTRS and changes in brain-related underlying mechanisms. Rat neonates from Sprague-Dawley breeders were subjected to ELS by separating them each morning from their mothers for 3 h on postnatal days 2 to 14. Pups from non-handled litters formed control groups. At 10 weeks of age, male rats were used to evaluate blood pressure and autonomic function using telemetric probes and pharmacological methods. In addition, in separate control and ELS groups, the lamina terminalis (LT) structures and the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN) were analyzed for mRNA expression of RAS components and proinflammatory cytokines. Adult ELS rats as compared to non-separated controls exhibited 1) HTRS during expression testing using 2 week ANG II infusions (120 ng/kg/min s.c.; ELS animals, Δ45.5±4.5 mmHg vs. controls, Δ22.4±3.1 mmHg); 2) a greater reduction in mean arterial pressure following ganglionic blockade (hexamethonium, 30 mg/kg, ip), 3) increased sympathetic drive to the heart (atenolol, 8 mg/kg, ip), 4) decreased vagal tone (atropine, 8 mg/kg, ip), and 5) increased mRNA expression of several components of the brain RAS and proinflammatory cytokines in the LT and PVN. These results suggest that maternal ELS may predispose individuals to hypertension that is mediated by upregulation of the brain RAS and proinflammatory cytokines and increased sympathetic drive to the cardiovascular system.
