Neuroactive steroids include synthetic steroidal compounds and endogenous steroids, produced by endocrine glands (hormonal
steroids) or the nervous tissue (neurosteroids), which regulate neural functions. These steroids bind to nuclear receptors
or act through the activation of membrane-associated signaling pathways to modulate various important processes including
the development of the nervous system, neural plasticity and the adaptive responses of neurons and glial cells under pathological
conditions. Reviewed and updated in the present paper are the pleiotropic and protective abilities of neuroactive steroids.
The fundamental evidence and knowledge gained constitute a profound background that offers interesting possibilities for developing
effective strategies against several disorders of the nervous system.

Painful neuropathy is a major side-effect limiting cancer chemotherapy. Therefore, novel strategies are required to suppress
the neuropathic effects of anticancer drugs without altering their chemotherapeutic effectiveness. By combining biochemical,
neuroanatomical/neurochemical, electrophysiological and behavioral methods, we demonstrated that progesterone-derived neurosteroids
including 5α-dihydroprogesterone and 3α,5α-tetrahydroprogesterone suppressed neuropathic symptoms evoked in naive rats by
vincristine. Neurosteroids counteracted vincristine-induced alterations in peripheral nerves including 2′,3′-cyclic nucleotide
3′-phosphodiesterase, neurofilament-200 kDa and intraepidermal nerve fiber repression, nerve conduction velocity, and pain
transmission abnormalities (allodynia/hyperalgesia). In skin-tumor rats generated with carcinosarcoma-cells, vincristine,
which suppressed the skin tumor and restored normal blood concentration of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), reproduced
neuropathic side-effects. Administered alone, neurosteroids did not affect the tumor and VEGF level. Combined with vincristine,
neurosteroids preserved vincristine anti-tumor action but counteracted vincristine-induced neural side-effects. Together,
these results provide valuable insight into the cellular and functional mechanisms underlying anticancer drug-induced neuropathy
and suggest a neurosteroid-based strategy to eradicate painful neuropathy. 相似文献

A direct filtered-backprojection(FBP) reconstruction algorithm is presented for circular cone-beam computed tomography(CB-CT) that allows the filter operation to be applied efficiently with shift-variant band-pass characteristics on the kernel function.Our algorithm is derived from the ramp-filter based FBP method of Feldkamp et al.and obtained by decomposing the ramp filtering into a convolution involving the Hilbert kernel(global operation) and a subsequent differentiation operation(local operation).The d... 相似文献
