    VIRAAJ VISHNU PRASAD, JENNIFER SALLY SAMSON, VENKATACHALAM DEEPA PARVATHI*

    BIOCELL, Vol.48, No.5, pp. 693-706, 2024, DOI:10.32604/biocell.2024.048776

    Abstract Physical activity and exercise have several beneficial roles in enhancing both physiological and psychological well-being of an individual. In addition to aiding the regulation of aerobic and anaerobic metabolism, exercise can stimulate the synthesis of exerkine hormones in the circulatory system. Among several exerkines that have been investigated for their therapeutic potential, Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is considered the most promising candidate, especially in the management of neurodegenerative diseases. Owing to the ability of physical activity to enhance BDNF synthesis, several experimental studies conducted so far have validated this hypothesis and produced satisfactory results at the pre-clinical level.

    Muhammad Umar Nasir1, Omar Kassem Khalil2, Karamath Ateeq3, Bassam SaleemAllah Almogadwy4, M. A. Khan5, Khan Muhammad Adnan6,*

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.79, No.1, pp. 963-981, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2024.047874

    Abstract Cervical cancer is an intrusive cancer that imitates various women around the world. Cervical cancer ranks in the fourth position because of the leading death cause in its premature stages. The cervix which is the lower end of the vagina that connects the uterus and vagina forms a cancerous tumor very slowly. This pre-mature cancerous tumor in the cervix is deadly if it cannot be detected in the early stages. So, in this delineated study, the proposed approach uses federated machine learning with numerous machine learning solvers for the prediction of cervical cancer to train the weights with varying neurons… More >

    Abstract The aim of this study was to find a way to efficiently separate neuronal cells from the cerebral cortex of adult rats, providing a reference method for rapid acquisition of neuronal cells from the adult rat brain. Fifteen SD rats were randomly divided into three groups, with five SD rats in each group. Then, neuron cells were isolated from the adult rat cerebral cortex by the grinding method, the trypsin method, and the collagenase II method, respectively. The expression of anti-NeuN in the neurons of each group was analyzed by flow cytometry. The acquisition rates and morphology of neurons of… More >

    Immunohistochemistry of GluR1 subunits of AMPA receptors of rat cerebellar nerve cells

    ORLANDO J. CASTEJÓN1*, MICHAEL E. DAILEY2

    BIOCELL, Vol.33, No.2, pp. 71-80, 2009, DOI:10.32604/biocell.2009.33.071

    Abstract The localization of GluR1 subunits of ionotropic glutamate receptors in the glial cells and inhibitory neurons of cerebellar cortex and their association with the climbing and parallel fibers, and basket cell axons were studied. Samples of P14 and P21 rat cerebellar cortex were exposed to a specific antibody against GluR1 subunit(s) of AMPA receptors and were examined with confocal laser scanning microscopy. GluR1 strong immunoreactivity was confined to Purkinje cell and the molecular layer. Weak GluR1 immunoreactivity was observed surrounding some Golgi cells in the granule cell layer. Intense GluR1 immunoreactivity was localized around Purkinje, basket, and stellate cells. Purkinje… More >

    Effects of the ascorbic acid supplementation on NADH-diaphorase myenteric neurons in the duodenum of diabetic rats

    MARLI APARECIDA DOS SANTOS PEREIRA, MARIA CLAÚDIA BAGATIN, JACQUELINE NELISIS ZANONI

    BIOCELL, Vol.30, No.2, pp. 295-300, 2006, DOI:10.32604/biocell.2006.30.295

    Abstract We assessed the ascorbic acid (AA) supplementation on the myenteric neurons in the duodenum of rats. Fifteen rats with 90 days of age were divided into three groups: control (C), diabetics (D) and ascorbic acid treated diabetics (DA). After 120 days of daily treatment with AA, the duodenum was submitted to the NADH-diaphorase (NADH-d) histochemical technique, which allowed us to evaluate the neuronal density in an area of 8.96 mm2 for each duodenum, and also to measure the cellular profile area of 500 neurons per group. The supplementation promoted an increase on AA levels. The neuronal density (p <0.05) was… More >

    BIOCELL, Vol.29, No.1, pp. 39-46, 2005, DOI:10.32604/biocell.2005.29.039

    Abstract The purpose of this work was to analyze the morphoquantitative behavior of the neurons of the myenteric plexus, as well as the morphometry of the duodenal wall, in adult rats fed with normoproteic (22%) and hypoproteic (8%) rations, killed at the age of 345 days. For neuronal assessments duodenal wholemounts stained with the Giemsa method were used, and for the evaluation of the duodenal wall routine histological processing and staining with Hematoxilin-Eosin were employed. The means of the number of neurons in 80 microscopic fields (12.72 mm2 ) and of the size of the neuronal cell bodies did not reveal… More >

    Abstract Creatine is widely used by athletes as an ergogenic resource. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of creatine supplementation on the duodenum of rats submitted to physical training. The number and myenteric neuronal cell bodies as well mucosal and muscular tunic morphometry were evaluated. Control animals received a standard chow for 8 weeks, and the treated ones received the standard chow for 4 weeks and were later fed with the same chow but added with 2% creatine. Animals were divided in groups: sedentary, sedentary supplemented with creatine, trained and trained supplemented with creatine. The training consisted… More >

    BIOCELL, Vol.31, No.1, pp. 33-39, 2007, DOI:10.32604/biocell.2007.31.033

    Abstract Alterations in the gastrointestinal neuromuscular function related to age have been demonstrated in human and animal models. This study analyzes the effects of the aging process on the area of the neuronal cell bodies of the myenteric plexus in the antimesenteric and intermediate regions of the ileal circumference of Wistar, 12 month-old in comparison 3 month-old animals. The ileum was removed and wholemount preparations immunostained by the antibody anti-myosin-V were processed. The morphometric analyses were performed using a computerized image analysis system, with a subsequent distribution of neurons by size in intervals of 100 μm2.

    Modeling the Spike Response for Adaptive Fuzzy Spiking Neurons with Application to a Fuzzy XOR

    A. M. E. Ramírez-Mendoza1

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.115, No.3, pp. 295-311, 2018, DOI: 10.3970/cmes.2018.00239

    Abstract A spike response model (SRM) based on the spikes generator circuit (SGC) of adaptive fuzzy spiking neurons (AFSNs) is developed. The SRM is simulated in MatlabTM environment. The proposed model is applied to a configuration of a fuzzy exclusive or (fuzzy XOR) operator, as an illustrative example. A description of the comparison of AFSNs with other similar methods is given. The novel method of the AFSNs is used to determine the value of the weights or parameters of the fuzzy XOR, first with dynamic weights or self-tuning parameters that adapt continuously, then with fixed weights obtained after training, finally with… More >
