In Pregnancy

Pregnancy and early postpartum is an extremely stressful time in a woman’s life. Emotional and cognitive functioning are mutually interconnected. The psyche also influences the physical health on the functional and physical basis. The physiological hormonal changes adapt woman to the development and labour of a child and reflect in the central nervous system functioning. In the presented manuscript, the basic psychological problems accompanying women in this period, as well as mutual relationships between the hormonal and central nervous systems during pregnancy and early postpartum have been presented.

Gliosarcoma is a rare tumor of the central nervous system and it constitutes about 1 to 8% of all malignant gliomas. In this report we are presenting a recurrent gliosarcoma case during a pregnancy in a 30-year-old woman. This is the first report presenting gliosarcoma in the pregnancy.

ABSTRACT The DA strain of Theiler’s virus causes a persistent and demyelinating infection of the white matter of spinal cord, whereas the GDVII strain causes a fatal gray-matter encephalomyelitis. Studies with recombinant viruses showed that this difference in phenotype is controlled mainly by the capsid. However, conflicting results regarding the existence of determinants of persistence in the capsid of the GDVII strain have been published. Here we show that a GDVII virus whose neurovirulence has been attenuated by an insertion in the 5′ noncoding region does not persist in the central nervous systems of mice. Furthermore, this virus infects the gray matter efficiently, but not the white matter. These results confirm the absence of determinants of persistence in the GDVII capsid. They suggest that the DA capsid controls persistence by allowing the virus to infect cells in the white matter of the spinal cord.

The Relationship

Twenty-six subjects with a variety of medical disorders were studied pre- and post-LENS neurotherapy treatment utilizing the Central Nervous System Questionnaire and a quantitative EEG (QEEG). Significant differences were found on seven of eight CNS scales with the emotions scale showing the greatest change. Significant changes were also found in the QEEG scores with Delta and Theta frequencies improving the most. Three sites (T4, C4, and CZ) showed the greatest changes of the 19 sites studied. Examination of the relationship between the measures showed a significant relationship. Discussion of possible mechanisms of change and neuroplasticity conclude the paper.

Trichobilharzia Regenti

The development of nasal avian schistosomes of the genus Trichobilharzia in their final host is poorly known. Therefore, an experimental infection of ducklings (Anas platyrhynchos f. dom.) by T. regenti was performed. The infection resulted in leg paralysis and orientation/balance disorders of birds. The examination of the duck's spinal cord and brain confirmed the presence of developing parasites in pre-patent as well as patent periods. The absence of the worms in other tissues strongly supports our hypothesis that the parasite migrates through the central nervous system (CNS) to its final location in bird nasal mucosa. The injury level is probably dependent on number of parasites as well as yet unknown host factors. The affinity to the CNS seems to be high; also by exposure of experimental animals to low cercarial doses the growing worms in the CNS were found. In addition to the generally accepted view that bird schistosomes may cause cercarial dermatitis of mammals (including man), there is evidence of a partial development of T. regenti in mouse CNS; in certain cases leg paralysis was also recorded. Therefore, the pathogenesis spectrum caused by bird schistosomes in birds/mammals needs to be reconsidered.

The ability of memory was investigated in 524 children, aged 4 to 7; with remote consequences of perinatal damage of the central nervous system (CNS). A weak memory ability was detected in 42% of children with dysfunctions of the general and fine motility and in 59% of children with impaired speech. Severe gestosis, anemia in pregnancy (stage II) and a delayed intrauterine fetal development were found to have a negative influence on memory shaping process.

Oxytocin, an important neuropeptide, exerts a wide influence on the central nervous system and the peripheral tissues. In the central nervous system, the oxytocin gene expression is mainly shown to be present in neurons in the hypothalamic paraventricular and supraoptic nuclei. Oxytocin gene also transcribes in the peripheral tissues such as uterus, placenta, and amnion. Oxytocin receptors can be founded in many tissues in humans, like the uterine, ovary, testis, kidney, and so on. And just in the same tissue, due to the variation of physiology factors, the amount of oxytocin changes a lot. Oxytocin secretion is closely linked with pregnancy advancing. During labor, the contractions of uterine smooth muscles and oxytocin secretion are inseparable. Moreover, oxytocin is also responsible for stimulating milk ejection after parturition. Oxytocin is associated with many diseases. Poor regulation of oxytocin may cause postpartum depression and infantile autism. In terms of physiology, fatal heart failure and gestational hypertension are concerned with oxytocin level. In this chapter, we will discuss the oxytocin in pregnancy as well as its clinical applications.

  Existe un incremento del interés sobre posibles efectos de la alimentación en el funcionamiento del sistema nervioso central, aunque la importancia de esa influencia parece requerir mayores respaldos científicos. Estos señalamientos son motivos para   valorar, sobre la base de los aportes de otros autores, el posible significado de la relación de alimentos, flora intestinal y sistema nervioso. Para cumplir este objetivo fue necesario una búsqueda de informaciones científicas en la US National Library of Medicine sobre este tema, una selección de publicaciones relevantes y análisis de los datos encontrados. Según esas publicaciones, la protección de la inocuidad de los alimentos, probióticos y algunas sustancias químicas de la dieta tienen relación con la composición y funcionamiento de la flora intestinal que puede afectar el eje intestino cerebro y causar alteraciones en el funcionamiento del sistema nervioso central. Se acepta que son insuficientes las explicaciones sobre relaciones específicas entre componentes de la dieta y efectos en el sistema nervioso central de los consumidores de alimentos, incluyendo los posibles mecanismos de esas relaciones.   Palabras clave: alimentos, eje intestino cerebro, sistema nervioso central, microbiota intestinal.   Abstract   There is an increased interest in possible effects of food on the central nervous system functioning, although the importance of this influence seems to require more scientific support. These indications are reasons to value, based on the contributions of other authors, the possible meaning of the relationship of food with the intestinal flora and the nervous system. To accomplish this goal, a search of scientific information was necessary for the US National Library of Medicine on this topic, a selection of relevant publications and analysis of the data found. According to those publications, food safety, probiotics and some dietary chemicals has a relationship with to the composition and functioning of the intestinal microbiome that can affect the brain intestinal axis and cause alterations in the functioning of the central nervous system. It’s accepted that explanations about specific relationships between diet components and effects on the central nervous system of food consumers, including the possible mechanisms of these relationships, are insufficient.   Key words: food, intestine brain axis, central nervous system, nutrition, intestinal microbiota.
