چکیده
We have developed a quantitative autoradiographic technique to measure simultaneously local cerebral blood flow, tissue pH, and local cerebral glucose utilization using 4-[18F]fluoroantipyrine, [14C]dimethyloxazolidine-2,5-dione, and 2-[3H]deoxyglucose as radioactive tracers. Our technique was validated by measurements of local cerebral blood flow, tissue pH, and local cerebral glucose utilization in the brains of sham-operated rats. Sham-operated rats showed a 14% reduction in local cerebral blood flow and a 10% reduction in local cerebral glucose utilization in the most affected piriform and entorhinal cortical regions compared with the contralateral homologous regions. There was no difference in tissue pH measured in the sham-operated side compared with normal rats or with the contralateral region.

Applying Semi-Markov Models for forecasting the Triple Dimensions of Next Earthquake Occurrences: with Case Study in Iran Area
In this paper Semi-Markov models are used to forecast the triple dimensions of next earthquake occurrences. Each earthquake can be investigated in three dimensions including temporal, spatial and magnitude. Semi-Markov models can be used for earthquake forecasting in each arbitrary area and each area can be divided into several zones. In Semi-Markov models each zone can be considered as a sta...
متن کاملMeasurement of regional brain glucose utilization in vivo using [2(-14)C] glucose.
A new technique is described for the autoradiographic determination of regional brain glucose metabolism employing 14C labeled glucose as substrate and measurement principles previously described for whole brain. Regional glucose values correlate closely with those reported for the 14C-deoxyglucose technique. The method has the advantages of 1) a much shorter experimental period, 2) a relativel...

متن کاملAre new neurons formed in the brains of adult mammals?
In an autoradiographic investigation, the production of brain lesions in rats was combined with intracranial injection of thymidine-H(3). Nuclei of numerous glia cells were found labeled in brain regions associated with the traumatized areas. In addition, some neurons and neuroblasts showed labeling, suggesting the possibility of proliferation of neurons in adult rats.
