AB  - Background: Breech presentation (BP) results from at random filling of the intrauterine cavity, with an equal probability for a BP or cephalic presentation (CP). Each fetus in BP has its "pair" in CP randomly assumed CP. Direct comparison of BP and CP makes bias to less expressed differences between these two groups. It is therefore necessary to subtract the number of fetuses/newborns from the CP set that are identical to the number of fetuses/newborns in the BP set, with identical characteristics, and add this group to the BP set before comparing them to the rest of the CP fetuses/newborns in the matching process. Methods: The procedure encompasses nine variables in pregnancies with a congenitally malformed uterus (CMU) identified at the Department of Obstetrics (1985-2014): gestational age, birth mass, birth length, head circumference, shoulders circumference, umbilical length, placental weight, newborn mass/newborn length ratio, and newborn mass/placental mass ratio. Firstly, the probability of BP was determined and its relation to gestational age, physical characteristics, and previous presentations. Then direct comparison as well as case-control matching of the CP and BP were performed. Case-control matching was based on either a single specific variable (M1) or all combined variables (M2). Findings: 462 deliveries were identified with CMU. In 81 cases of multiparity, a fetal presentation was found to be an independent event regardless of the previous presentation, gestational age, and newborn physical characteristics. In four types of CMU with 337 deliveries (Bicornuate, Didelphys, Unicornuate, Arcuate), 9 variables with 36 instances of comparison were observed. M1 in 10 instances and M2 in 6 instances showed a statistically significant lower value of breech/random presentation compared with CP. CP have lower value in 2 instances in M1 and 1 in M2. Statistically significant differences were absent without the matching process. Interpretations: The study confirms the maximum probability for the BP is 50%. The case-control matching procedure shows that it is able to detect the difference between the breech/random presentation and CP, while the classic method of direct comparison was unable to detect any differences. The outcome of the breech/random presentation in CMU should be evaluated with the described case-control matching procedure.

AB  - The molecular mechanisms behind non-motor symptoms of Parkinson’s disease are poorly understood. In literature, the connection between neuroinflammation and depressive symptoms was observed in PD patients, however the implications of such findings are limited due to cerebrospinal fluid and blood derivates being the only obtainable samples for analysis. The aim of this preliminary study was to assess neuroinflammation, memory deficits and depression like symptoms associated with PD and to detect related proinflammatory mediators using a transgenic A53T mouse model. The transgene consists of the human α-synuclein sequence with the A53T mutation driven by the mouse prion protein (PrP) promoter resulting in overexpression of human α-synuclein in key structures associated with PD. Although it was determined that microglial activation is increased in these mice, the specific cytokine profile driving the inflammation has not been characterized in literature. We have examined the expression of three key inflammatory mediators (tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα), interleukin-1beta (IL-1β) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) described as markers associated with the microglial pro-inflammatory phenotype in the prefrontal cortex, hippocampus, and striatum of 8 male 6 months old A53T mice. Additionally, depressive like symptoms and anhedonia were assessed using Tail Suspension Test and Sucrose Preference Test respectively, while cognitive status and memory deficits were assessed using Novel Object Recognition Test. Non-transgenic littermates were used as controls. Obtained results depict a characteristic behavioral and pro-inflammatory profile in the transgenic animals. The implications of the obtained findings and the potential for using the A53T model as a tool for studying non-motor features of PD are further discussed.

AB  - Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is progressive age-associated brain disorder and the main 
cause of dementia in the elderly worldwide. It is also well-established that the 
prevalence and severity of AD is greater in women than in men, suggesting that sex is 
a crucial variable in disease heterogeneity.
Sex-biased differences in behavioral parameters related to cognition and depressive like behavior were examined in novel, state-of-the-art mouse model of AD-like 
amyloidosis, APPNL-G-F knock-in (KI) mice. Nonspatial and spatial memory were 
assessed using novel object recognition (NOR) and relocation test (NOL), 
respectively, while for depressive-like behavior tail-suspension test (TST) was used. 
Male and female APPNL-G-F mice and their non-APPNL-G-F KI littermates (WT) were 
tested at the age of 9 months.
Memory impairments were evident in both WT and APPNL-G-F females in comparison 
to their male littermates. In NOL as a spatial variation of NOR, the discrimination 
index was decreased, but not in NOR as such. Furthermore, the decrease in total active 
immobility time in TST test was also detected in female WT and APPNL-G-F mice vs. 
male mice suggesting more prominent depressive-like behavior as well. Examined 
parameters had similar pattern in WT and APPNL-G-F mice of both sexes. 
The results suggest prominent sex-biased differences in behavior of males and females 
in this particular model and support its validity for further studies revealing the impact 
of sex to behavioral deficits.

The results suggest prominent sex-biased differences in behavior of males and females in this particular model and support its validity for further studies revealing the impact of sex to behavioral deficits.

abstract = "Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is progressive age-associated brain disorder and the main cause of dementia in the elderly worldwide. It is also well-established that the prevalence and severity of AD is greater in women than in men, suggesting that sex is a crucial variable in disease heterogeneity.Sex-biased differences in behavioral parameters related to cognition and depressive like behavior were examined in novel, state-of-the-art mouse model of AD-like amyloidosis, APPNL-G-F knock-in (KI) mice. Nonspatial and spatial memory were assessed using novel object recognition (NOR) and relocation test (NOL), respectively, while for depressive-like behavior tail-suspension test (TST) was used. Male and female APPNL-G-F mice and their non-APPNL-G-F KI littermates (WT) were tested at the age of 9 months.Memory impairments were evident in both WT and APPNL-G-F females in comparison to their male littermates. In NOL as a spatial variation of NOR, the discrimination index was decreased, but not in NOR as such. Furthermore, the decrease in total active immobility time in TST test was also detected in female WT and APPNL-G-F mice vs. male mice suggesting more prominent depressive-like behavior as well. Examined parameters had similar pattern in WT and APPNL-G-F mice of both sexes.

AB  - Adolescence is a period when alcohol abuse is more likely to occur. Use of isoflurane
(a volatile anesthetic) in adolescence has been experimentally shown to alter
responses to ethanol, implying that general exposure to anesthetics during adolescence
may be an environmental risk factor contributing to increased susceptibility to alcohol
use disorder (AUD). Our previous work showed that propofol (intravenous anesthetic)
anesthesia exposure (PAE) in adolescence favors risk-taking and preference for
novel/intense stimuli. However, its influence on alcohol consumption hasn’t been
examined. Therefore, we aimed to investigate whether PAE in adolescence alters
alcohol consumption in alcohol-naïve rats.
Male Wistar rats aged 35 and 50 postnatal days (early-to-mid and mid-to-late
adolescence, respectively) were injected with anesthetic dose of propofol emulsion
(75mg/kg) or saline, separated into individual cages and exposed to two-bottle choice
paradigm (allowing free access to food and two bottles, one containing 2,5% ethanol
in 1% sucrose solution and the other containing tap water). Liquid consumption was
measured for 4 constitutive days. Obtained data showed no preference for alcohol in
all analyzed experimental groups. Moreover, the tendency for alcohol intake was
significantly reduced during first 24h after PAE in early-to-mid adolescent rats.
Overall, our study shows that PAE doesn’t increase voluntary alcohol intake in
peripubertal rats used as a rodent model of adolescence. The obtained findings do not
support the view that exposure to general anesthetics in adolescence is a risk factor for
AUD and suggest that a detailed analysis of the range of anesthetics is needed before
generalizing the data.

AB  - Aim: Microglia are macrophages of the brain with a fundamental role in neuronal
homeostasis. Stress-induced activation of microglia leads to rapid morphological
changes and it is implicated that these alternations could mediate different aspects of
early-life stress psychopathologies. We aimed to examine morphological response of
hippocampal microglia to social isolation using peripubertal rats as a rodent model of
adolescence.
Methods: Male peripubertal Wistar rats were randomly selected for group-housing
(GH; n=3 per cage) or single-housing (SH; n=1 per cage) at postnatal day 29. After
1st and 2nd week of defined housing animals῾ brains were sampled, and used for
microglia iba-1 fluorescent labelling and morphology analysis: one filed per section
per animal (n=4 animals per group) in hippocampal dentate gyrus (HDG). Data for
microglia cell shape (FracLac plugin, ImageJ) and cell ramification (Analyze Skeleton
plugin, ImageJ) were collected from single cells in photomicrograph visualized with a
confocal microscope (Leica Microsystems).
Results: Compared to GH peers, SH rats had lower microglial cell density in the HDG
after the 1st week of defined housing, which was not evident after the 2nd week. Other
parameters of microglia shape and ramification showed no difference between the
groups in neither of the two time points examined.
Conclusions: Obtained results showed that change in the cell density in the HDG was
the only and transient change in microglia morphology due to the social isolation
during adolescence. Further examination of other stress-related brain regions is
needed to define in depth the relationship between the microglia phenotype and earlylife
stress conditions.

AB  - Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized by both motor and non-motor symptoms.
Current research indicates that neuroinflammation, along with activated glial cells,
represents one of the key factors in the pathogenesis of PD. The aim of this study was
to assess non-motor symptoms of PD as well as the expression of gene markers of
microgliosis, astrogliosis and neuroinflammation in a transgenic A53T mouse model,
which is recommended for studying PD and other synucleinopathies. These transgenic
mice express an A53T missense mutant form of human alpha-synuclein under the
control of the murine prion promoter.
Depression-like symptoms and anhedonia were assessed using Tail Suspension Test
and Sucrose Preference Test respectively, while memory deficits were assessed using
Novel Object Recognition Test along with Object Relocation Test. Gene expression of
ionized calcium-binding adapter molecule (Iba-1), glial fibrillary acidic protein
(GFAP α and δ form) and cytokines associated with the microglial pro-inflammatory
phenotype (TNFα, IL-1β, IL-6) was assessed using RT-PCR. Brain regions of interest
were the prefrontal cortex, hippocampus, and striatum of 6 months old A53T male
mice. Non-transgenic littermates were used as controls. Obtained results suggest that
A53T mice compared to non-transgenic littermates exert 1) the presence of memory
deficits and anhedonia, 2) no difference in the expression of glial activity markers and
pro-inflammatory cytokines in the cortex and striatum, and 3) increased expression of
glial activity markers in the hippocampus, but without significant changes in the
expression of cytokines. Overall, better understanding of the role of active glia in the
model is needed.

AB  - Aims: CYP2C19 transgenic mouse expresses the human CYP2C19 gene in the liver and developing brain, and it exhibits altered neurodevelopment associated with impairments in emotionality and locomotion. Because the validation of new animal models is essential for the understanding of the aetiology and pathophysiology of movement disorders, the objective was to characterise motoric phenotype in CYP2C19 transgenic mice and to investigate its validity as a new animal model of ataxia.

Methods: The rotarod, paw-print and beam-walking tests were utilised to characterise the motoric phenotype. The volumes of 20 brain regions in CYP2C19 transgenic and wild-type mice were quantified by 9.4T gadolinium-enhanced post-mortem structural neuroimaging. Antioxidative enzymatic activity was quantified biochemically. Dopaminergic alterations were characterised by chromatographic quantification of concentrations of dopamine and its metabolites and by subsequent immunohistochemical analyses. The beam-walking test was repeated after the treatment with dopamine receptor antagonists ecopipam and raclopride.

Results: CYP2C19 transgenic mice exhibit abnormal, unilateral ataxia-like gait, clasping reflex and 5.6-fold more paw-slips in the beam-walking test; the motoric phenotype was more pronounced in youth. Transgenic mice exhibited a profound reduction of 12% in cerebellar volume and a moderate reduction of 4% in hippocampal volume; both regions exhibited an increased antioxidative enzyme activity. CYP2C19 mice were hyperdopaminergic; however, the motoric impairment was not ameliorated by dopamine receptor antagonists, and there was no alteration in the number of midbrain dopaminergic neurons in CYP2C19 mice.

Conclusions: Humanised CYP2C19 transgenic mice exhibit altered gait and functional motoric impairments; this phenotype is likely caused by an aberrant cerebellar development.

AB  - Фруктоза је прост шећер одувек присутан у људској исхрани. До 20. века људи су
путем воћа и поврћа уносили релативно ниске количине фруктозе, да би током 20.
века, након увођења високофруктозног кукурузног сирупа у прехрамбену
индустрију, дневни унос фруктозе био учетворостручен што је коинцидирало са
растућом преваленцијом метаболичких поремећаја. Ипак, новије студије показују
да преваленција метаболичких поремећаја и даље расте иако је дневни унос шећера
стабилан или се чак смањује, што указује на допринос других фактора, као што су
смањена физичка активност и свакодневна изложеност стресу. Наша истраживања
на животињском моделу пацова који је храњен фруктозом и хронично излаган
комбинацији стресора пружају одговор на питање да ли, и у којим ситуацијама,
фруктоза може да смањује штетне ефекте стреса, а у којим условима стрес
потенцира штетне ефекте фруктозе? Резултати показују да фруктоза, стрес и
њихова комбинација, на ткивно и полно специфичан начин утичу на метаболизам
глукозе и липида, као и на редокс и инфламаторни статус у јетри, скелетним
мишићима и висцералном масном ткиву, а да поред метаболичких ефеката

AB  - Fruktoza je prost šećer oduvek prisutan u ljudskoj ishrani. Do 20. veka ljudi su putem voća i povrća unosili relativno niske količine fruktoze, da bi tokom 20. veka, nakon uvođenja visokofruktoznog kukuruznog sirupa u prehrambenu industriju, dnevni unos fruktoze bio učetvorostručen što je koincidiralo sa rastućom prevalencijom metaboličkih poremećaja. Ipak, novije studije pokazuju da prevalencija metaboličkih poremećaja i dalje raste iako je dnevni unos šećera stabilan ili se čak smanjuje, što ukazuje na doprinos drugih faktora, kao što su smanjena fizička aktivnost i svakodnevna izloženost stresu. Naša istraživanja na životinjskom modelu pacova koji je hranjen fruktozom i hronično izlagan kombinaciji stresora pružaju odgovor na pitanje da li, i u kojim situacijama, fruktoza može da smanjuje štetne efekte stresa, a u kojim uslovima stres potencira štetne efekte fruktoze? Rezultati pokazuju da fruktoza, stres i njihova kombinacija, na tkivno i polno specifičan način utiču na metabolizam glukoze i lipida, kao i na redoks i inflamatorni status u jetri, skeletnim mišićima i visceralnom masnom tkivu, a da pored metaboličkih efekata fruktoza i stres utiču i na ponašanje životinja. Budući da efekti fruktoze zavise od doze i patofiziološkog stanja organizma, energija koja od nje potiče se može efikasno skladištiti i po potrebi koristiti kroz fizičku aktivnost, dok stalan povećan unos fruktoze, uz sedentarni način života i stres može doprineti razvoju metaboličkih i kardiovaskularnih oboljenja.

AB  - Changes in housing density, including individual housing, are commonly necessary in animal research. Obtaining reproducibility and translational validity in biomedical research requires an understanding of how animals adapt to changes in housing density. Existing literature mainly addresses acclimatization after transportation. We used a within-subject design to examine changes in behavior and weight gain of 4-mo-old male Wistar Han rats after reduction of their social group (RSG; due to removal of one rat from a cage containing 3 rats) and social isolation (SI; the removed rat) for the subsequent 2 wk. Changes in weight gain and in exploratory and center-avoidance behavior in an inescapable open arena (OA) were measured before (D0) and on days 7 and 14 (D7 and D14, respectively) after social change. The motor response to d-amphetamine (1.5 mg/kg), which stimulates behavioral arousal in response to novelty, was assessed at D14. Within-subject design revealed that RSG rats in OA had less locomotion at D7 but not more center-avoidance behavior and had returned to the D0 activity level at D14; SI rats in OA had consistently less locomotion and more center-avoidance behavior. Rearing behavior during OA exposure did not change in either group. However, SI rats showed more center-avoidance behavior in OA, greater weight gain, and less amphetamine-induced rearing at D14 as compared with RSG rats. These data indicate that after RSG, mature adult male rats require 2 wk to return to their baseline level of OA-related behavior, while after SI they gain weight and acquire maladaptive exploratory and center-avoidance behavior. The finding that SI produces maladaptive behavioral and physiologic alterations in adult male rats deserves attention because these changes could have confounding effects on research findings.

AB  - A potential relationship between unrestricted sucrose intake (USI), overweight, and emotional/behavioral control has not been well documented. We examined the influence of USI and having less sweetness than expected on body weight (BW), motor/exploratory, anxiety-like, and social dominant behavior in adult C57BL/6J male mice. Animals had free access to water (group 1) or 32% sucrose and water (sucrose groups 2-5) for 10 days. Then, group 2 remained with 32% sucrose while groups 3-5 were subjected to the downshift (24 h access to 4%, 8%, or 16% sucrose). All experimental groups were weighed and tested in the novel-open arena (NA), elevated plus maze (EPM), and tube tests to assess BW, motor/exploratory, anxiety-like, and social dominance behavior, respectively. USI did not influence animals' BW but produced hyperactivity and anxiolytic-like behavior, which was evident in EPM but not in NA; the outcomes of the downshift were comparable. USI did not influence successes/wins in the tube test but altered emotions that drive the winning, favoring a less anxious behavioral phenotype; this was not evident in the downshifted groups. Observed findings suggest that USI promotes sensation-seeking and motivates dominance, without changing BW, while blunted emotional base of social dominance might be an early mark of the downshift.

AB  - Clinical findings show that the use of valproic acid (VPA) during pregnancy increases the risk of birth defects and autism spectrum disorder in offspring. Although there is a consensus that monitoring of potential long-term outcomes of VPA exposure is needed, especially in undiagnosed individuals, preclinical studies addressing this issue are rare. The present study examined the effects of continuous intrauterine exposure to a wide dose range of VPA (50, 100, 200, and 400 mg/kg/day) on the physical and behavioral response in peripubertal mice as a rodent model of adolescence. Body weight and the hot plate test [on postnatal days (PND) 25 and 32], the elevated plus-maze test (on PND35), and the open field test (on PND40) served to examine physical growth, the supraspinal reflex response to a painful thermal stimulus and conditional learning, anxiety-like/risk-assessment behavior, as well as novelty-induced psychomotor activity, respectively. VPA exposure produced the following responses: (i) a negative effect on body weight, except for the dose of 100 mg/kg/day in both sexes; (ii) an increase in the percentage of animals that responded to the thermal stimulus above the defined cut-off time interval and the response latency in both sexes; (iii) dose-specific changes within sexes in behavior provoked by a novel anxiogenic environment, i.e., in females less anxiety-like/risk-assessment behavior in response to the lowest exposure dose, and in males more pronounced anxiety-like/risk-assessment behavior after exposure to the highest dose and 100 mg/kg/day; (iv) dose-specific changes within sexes in novelty-induced psychomotor activity, i.e., in females a decrease in stereotypy-like activity along with an increase in rearing, and in males a decrease in stereotypy-like activity only. These findings show that continuous intrauterine exposure to VPA produces maladaptive functioning in different behavioral domains in adolescence and that the consequences are delicate to assess as they are dose-related within sexes.

AB  - The fulfillment of belonging needs underlies a variety of behaviors. In order to understand how social needs unmet during maturation shape everyday life, we examined social motivation and cognition in peripubertal rats, as a rodent model of adolescence, subjected to social isolation (SI) during early and early-to-mid adolescence. The behavioral correlates of social orientation (social space preference), sociability (preference for social over non-social novelty), and social novelty preference (SNP) were examined in group-housed (GH) and single-housed (SH) rats in a 3-chamber test. The response to social odors was examined to gain insights into the developmental role of social odors in motivated social behavior. Differentiation between appetitive (number of visits/approaches) and consummatory (exploratory time) aspects of motivated social behavior was done to determine which facet of social motivation characterizes maturation when social needs are met and which aspect dominates when social needs are unsatisfied. The SI-sensitive parvalbumin-expressing interneurons (PVI) in the hippocampus were examined using immunohistochemistry. The main findings are the following: (1) in GH rats, the preference for social space is not evident regardless of animals' age, while sociability becomes apparent in mid-adolescence strictly through consummatory behavior, along with complete SNP (appetitive, consummatory); (2) SH promotes staying in a social chamber/space regardless of animals' age and produces an appetitive preference for it only in early-adolescent animals; (3) SH promotes sociability (appetitive, consummatory) regardless of the animals' age and prevents the SNP; (4) the preference for a social odor is displayed in all the groups through consummatory behavior, while appetitive behavior is evident only in SH rats; (5) the response to social odors does not commensurate directly to the response to conspecifics; (6) SH does not influence PVI in the hippocampus, except in the case of early-adolescence when a transient decrease in the dentate gyrus is observed. These results accentuate the developmental complexity of social motivation and cognition, and the power of SI in adolescence to infringe social maturation at different functional levels, promoting appetitive behavior toward peers overall but harming the interest for social novelty. The findings emphasize the importance of the fulfillment of basic social needs in the navigation through the social world.

AB  - Познато је да су анксиозни поремећаји генерално изражени током адолесценције док специфичности везане за интензитет симптома током различитих фаза адолесценције (рана, средња, касна) још увек нису довољно проучене. Aдолесценција је као период матурације присутна код свих сисара, што оправдава коришћење анималних модела у психобиологији. Имајући у виду дефинисане фазе адолесценције глодара, испитивали смо матурацију експлораторног и анксиозног одговора на новину код мужјака Wistar Han пацова старих 35 ± 1 дан (крај ране/почетак средње адолесценције), 49 ± 1 дан (крај средње/почетак касне адолесценције) и 155 ± 1 дан (адултно доба). Коришћени су тестови у којима животиња слободно истражује нову средину (нова правоугаона арена, црно-бела кутија, уздигнути крстасти лавиринт). Адаптабилност на нову средину је процењивана поређењем бихејвиоралних одговора у првих и последњих 5 минута тестирања. Добијени резултати су показали да код пацова 1) матурациона крива експлораторног одговора на нову средину може имати како линеарни тако и U-профил, у зависности од карактеристика новe средине, 2) понашање налик анксиозном има инвертовани U-профил, док се 3) прилагодљивост независно од срединских услова јавља крајем средње/почетком касне адолесценције. Дискутован је потенцијални значај добијених резултата.

Adolescencija je kao period maturacije prisutna kod svih sisara, što opravdava korišćenje animalnih modela u psihobiologiji.

Korišćeni su testovi u kojima životinja slobodno istražuje novu sredinu (nova pravougaona arena, crno-bela kutija, uzdignuti krstasti lavirint). Adaptabilnost na novu sredinu je procenjivana poređenjem bihejvioralnih odgovora u prvih i poslednjih 5 minuta testiranja. Dobijeni rezultati su pokazali da kod pacova 1) maturaciona kriva eksploratornog odgovora na novu sredinu može imati kako linearni tako i U-profil, u zavisnosti od karakteristika nove sredine, 2) ponašanje nalik anksioznom ima invertovani U-profil, dok se 3) prilagodljivost nezavisno od sredinskih uslova javlja krajem srednje/početkom kasne adolescencije.

AB  - Valproinska kiselina (VPK) je lek izbora u terapiji epilepsija kod trudnica, iako može uzrokovati različite poremećaje kod potomstva.1 Naša prethodna istraživanja su pokazala usporen somatski razvoj i odloženo sazrevanje motoričkog sistema u ranom postnatalnom periodu kod potomaka miševa koji su prenatalno kontinuirano izlagani VPK.2 Sa ciljem da proširimo saznanja vezana za model i procenimo dugotrajnost posledica VPK, u ovoj studiji ispitivali smo karakteristike psihomotornog ponašanja adolescentnih i odraslih mužjaka miševa u odgovoru na novu sredinu. Ženke su kontinuirano injecirane rastvorom VPK (50, 100 ili 400 mg/kg/dan; subkutano) tokom celog perioda gestacije. Potomstvo muškog pola starosti 6 nedelja (adolescenti) i 12 nedelja (odrasli) je ispitivano u testu otvorenog polja (open field test) u cilju procene lokomotorne, stereotipne i vertikalne aktivnosti. Rezultati ukazuju da tretman VPK: (1) nema uticaja na lokomotornu i vertikalnu aktivnost adolescentnih i odraslih jedinki, (2) smanjuje stereotipnu aktivnost adolescentnih jedinki u dozi od 100 i 400 mg/kg/dan. Dobijeni rezultati ukazuju da prenatalno kontinuirano izlaganje VPK ima dugotrajne posledice kod potomstva muškog pola, narušavajući očekivani odgovor adolescentnih jedinki na novu sredinu. Izostanak efekta kod odraslih jedinki se može objasniti spontanim dovođenjem sistema u ravnotežu usled maturacionih promena, što ipak ostaje da se dodatno proceni u drugim testovima zasnovanim na spontanom odgovoru na novu sredinu.

моторичког система у раном постнаталном периоду код потомака мишева који су
пренатално континуирано излагани ВПК.2 Са циљем да проширимо сазнања везана
за модел и проценимо дуготрајност последица ВПК, у овој студији испитивали смо
карактеристике психомоторног понашања адолесцентних и одраслих мужјака
мишева у одговору на нову средину. Женке су континуирано ињециране раствором
ВПК (50, 100 или 400 мг/кг/дан; субкутано) током целог периода гестације.
Потомство мушког пола старости 6 недеља (адолесценти) и 12 недеља (одрасли) је
испитивано у тесту отвореног поља (open field test) у циљу процене локомоторне,
стереотипне и вертикалне активности. Резултати указују да третман ВПК: (1) нема
утицаја на локомоторну и вертикалну активност адолесцентних и одраслих
јединки, (2) смањује стереотипну активност адолесцентних јединки у дози од 100 и

ВПК има дуготрајне последице код потомства мушког пола, нарушавајући

одраслих јединки се може објаснити спонтаним довођењем система у равнотежу
услед матурационих промена, што ипак остаје да се додатно процени у другим
тестовима заснованим на спонтаном одговору на нову средину.

AB  - Aims: Levetiracetam (LEV), which belongs to a new generation of antiepileptic drugs, has been recognized as a relatively safe antiepileptic therapy, according to studies on neurodevelopmental outcomes in children exposed to LEV in utero, although some animal studies reported skeletal abnormalities. This study deals with the influence of prenatal exposure to LEV in the doses that cover therapeutic range in humans on gross skeletal structure and anxiety-like behavior in adolescent mice. Methods: Adult 8-weeks old female NMRI mice were randomly divided into four groups and treated subcutaneously during breeding and gestation with saline (control) or LEV in the doses of 158 mg/kg/day (LEV-158), 211 mg/kg/day (LEV-211), or 316 mg/kg/day (LEV-316). After delivery, each female with the progeny was housed separately. Weaning and separation by sex were done on the 20th postnatal day (P20). The elevated plus-maze test was used to assess the anxiety-like behavior in both male and female offspring on P37. Results: Females and males in the LEV-158 and LEV-316 group displayed less anxiety-like behavior compared to the control, while in the LEV-211 group such behavior was not observed. Sex-related differences in anxiety-like behavior were not detected within any LEV group, as well as visible skeletal malformations. Conclusion: The findings in the mouse model suggest that prenatal exposure to LEV could be associated with less anxiety-like behavior in adolescence, paying attention to the U-shaped dose-response and highlighting the behavioral outcomes of small LEV doses.

Како би превазишли овај проблем, у овој студији испитани су конзуматорни и бихевиорални исходи неограниченог уноса шећера, као и накнадног смањења доступности шећера код адултних мужјака C57BL/6J мишева применом модификоване парадигме „Конзуматорни сукцесивни негативни контраст“ (cSNC).1,2 Две групе животиња имале су неограничен приступ 32% раствору сахарозе 10 дана (у виду тзв. Two- Bottle-Choice протокола); 11. дана једна група добила је раствор са мањом концентрацијом сахарозе (32%→4%), док је друга група добила уобичајени 32% раствор. Контролна група је имала ad libitum приступ води. Дванаестог дана стандардизованим тестовима понашања (Тест отвореног поља, Крстасти лавиринт и Туба тест социјалне конфронтације) испитани су социјална доминација, као и новином-изазвано експлораторно и понашање слично анксиозности. Добијени резултати указују на централни утицај неограниченог уноса шећера с обзиром да је код C57BL/6J мужјака уочен анксиолитички ефекат на понашање који вероватно одражава физиолошку дисрегулацију и склоност тражењу сензација. Потенцијални простор за примену нове модификоване парадигме у испитивању патолошких последица неограниченог уноса шећера даље је размотрен.

AB  - The influence of parental social experience on the offspring neurodevelopment and its own susceptibility to the sculpting effect of social experience are not well understood. Using rat model we aimed to examine whether and how social experience of adolescent parents impacts psychophysical characteristics of their offspring, during pre-weaning period and later during adolescent growing in defined social conditions. 
Methods: Peripubertal Wistar rats (both sexes) were randomly selected for group housing (GH; n=3 per cage) or single housing (SH; n=1 per cage) at postnatal day (P) 29 and left undisturbed until P55. Thereafter, they were grouped for mating (SH males with SH females, GH males with GH females). Body weight (BW) of pups was monitored at P7, P14, and P21. At P17 motor activity of the offspring was monitored; at P29 the animals were subjected to GH or SH; after 1 week (P36) and 2 weeks (P43) their motor activity was monitored; at P45 they were subjected to sucrose preference test (SPT). 
Results: The male offspring of SH parents had decreased locomotor activity in a novel open arena, at P17. At P36 and P43, adolescent SH offspring showed hypolocomotion in a novel arena and hypohedonic behavior in SPT compared to GH counterparts, regardless of parental experience. BW did not differ between groups. 
Conclusions: Parental social experience influences novelty-exploring behavior of offspring, producing response below expected at P17. With further offspring development, their individual social experience has stronger impact on the appearance of depression-like phenotypes than parental social experience.

AB  - Reduction in direct social contact with peers during early adolescence is thought to be a risk factor for an increase in depressive symptoms, but there is still no clear evidence to suggest early behavioral manifestations and their association with the later outcome of social distancing during this period. To address this question, we used social isolation paradigm in peripubertal rats as the rodent model of adolescence. The litter was an experimental unit. On postnatal day 29, each litter gave group-housed and single-housed males, which were reared and tested one week and two weeks thereafter. Psychomotor/emotional response to novelty in exploration-based tasks, behavioral and neuronal responses to the drug reward (D-amphetamine), motivation/hedonic behavior, physiological and response to physiological stress were examined. Social isolation in peripubertal rats manifested through: hyper-reactivity/agitation and the state anxiety/risk-taking at an early stage; reduced behavioral response to D-amphetamine and altered neural processing of this stimulus, at a later stage; consummatory hypohedonia that deepened over time without changing the motivation to eat; unchanged body weight gain and resting blood corticosterone, cortisol and glucose levels over time; altered blood biochemistry (silenced corticosterone and increased glucose) due to overnight fasting only at an early stage. Our results highlight that the outcome of reduced direct social contact with peers during peripuberty is dynamic, with the cluster of atypical early symptoms that evolve into the syndrome that is delicate for assessment through routinely measurable behavior and biomarkers of stress, but with progressive consummatory hypohedonia and unaffected motivation to eat as stable marks.

AB  - Substance-use disorder represents a frequently hidden non-communicable chronic disease. Patients with intravenous drug addiction are at high risk of direct exposure to a variety of viral infections and are considered to be the largest subpopulation infected with the hepatitis C virus. Ribavirin is a synthetic nucleoside analog that has been used as an integral component of hepatitis C therapy. However, ribavirin medication is quite often associated with pronounced psychiatric adverse effects. It is not well understood to what extent ribavirin per se contributes to changes in drug-related neurobehavioral disturbances, especially in the case of psychostimulant drugs such as amphetamine. It is now well-known that repeated amphetamine usage produces psychosis in humans and behavioral sensitization in animals. On the other hand, ribavirin has an affinity for adenosine A1 receptors that antagonistically modulate the activity of dopamine D1 receptors, which play a critical role in the development of behavioral sensitization. This review will focus on the current knowledge of neurochemical/neurobiological changes that exist in the psychostimulant drug-addicted brain itself and the antipsychotic-like efficiency of adenosine agonists. Particular attention will be paid to the potential side effects of ribavirin therapy, and the opportunities and challenges related to its application in already existing psychostimulant-use disorder.

AB  - BACKGROUND Psychotic states related to psychostimulant misuse in patients with hepatitis C virus infection may complicate acceptance and reaction to antiviral treatment. This observation equally applies to widely used ribavirin therapy. OBJECTIVE We examined psychomotor and body weight gain response to low ribavirin doses after cessation of intermittent amphetamine treatment in adult rats to assess its role in neurobehavioral outcome during psychostimulant withdrawal. METHOD The model of amphetamine-induced (1.5 mg/kg/day, i.p., 7 consecutive days) motor sensitization and affected body weight gain was established in adult male Wistar rats. Then, additional cohort of amphetamine-sensitized rats was subjected to saline (0.9% NaCl; 1 mL/kg/day; i.p.) or ribavirin (10, 20 and 30 mg/kg/day, i.p.) treatment for 7 consecutive days. Animals' motor activity in a novel environment was monitored after the 1st and the 7th saline/ribavirin injection. Body weight gain was calculated as appropriate. Determination and quantification of ribavirin in the brain tissue were performed too. RESULTS The 1st application of ribavirin to amphetamine-sensitized rats affected/decreased their novelty-induced motor activity only at a dose of 30 mg/kg. After the 7th application, ribavirin 30 mg/kg/day still decreased while 10 and 20 mg/kg/day increased novelty-induced motor activity. These behavioral effects coincided with the time required to reach maximum ribavirin concentration in the brain. Body weight gain during withdrawal was not influenced by any of the doses tested. CONCLUSION Ribavirin displays central effects that in repeated treatment, depending on the applied dose, could significantly influence psychomotor response but not body weight gain during psychostimulant/amphetamine withdrawal.

AB  - Substance-use disorder represents a frequently hidden non-communicable chronic disease. Patients with intravenous drug addiction are at high risk of direct exposure to a variety of viral infections and are considered to be the largest subpopulation infected with the hepatitis C virus. Ribavirin is a synthetic nucleoside analog that has been used as an integral component of hepatitis C therapy. However, ribavirin medication is quite often associated with pronounced psychiatric adverse effects. It is not well understood to what extent ribavirin per se contributes to changes in drug-related neurobehavioral disturbances, especially in the case of psychostimulant drugs such as amphetamine. It is now well-known that repeated amphetamine usage produces psychosis in humans and behavioral sensitization in animals. On the other hand, ribavirin has an affinity for adenosine A1 receptors that antagonistically modulate the activity of dopamine D1 receptors, which play a critical role in the development of behavioral sensitization. This review will focus on the current knowledge of neurochemical/neurobiological changes that exist in the psychostimulant drug-addicted brain itself and the antipsychotic-like efficiency of adenosine agonists. Particular attention will be paid to the potential side effects of ribavirin therapy, and the opportunities and challenges related to its application in already existing psychostimulant-use disorder.
