AB  - Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a main cause of death and disabilities in young adults. Although learning and memory impairments are a major clinical manifestation of TBI, the consequences of TBI on the hippocampus are still not well understood. In particular, how lesions to the sensorimotor cortex damage the hippocampus, to which it is not directly connected, is still elusive. Here, we study the effects of sensorimotor cortex ablation (SCA) on the hippocampal dentate gyrus, by applying a highly sensitive gray-level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) analysis. Using GLCM analysis of granule neurons, we discovered, in our TBI paradigm, subtle changes in granule cell (GC) morphology, including textual uniformity, contrast, and variance, which is not detected by conventional microscopy. We conclude that sensorimotor cortex trauma leads to specific changes in the hippocampus that advance our understanding of the cellular underpinnings of cognitive impairments in TBI. Moreover, we identified GLCM analysis as a highly sensitive method to detect subtle changes in the GC layers that is expected to significantly improve further studies investigating the impact of TBI on hippocampal neuropathology.

AB  - The aim of our study was to employ fractal analysis for evaluation of ultrastructural changes during early stages of apoptosis. Apoptosis was induced in U251 human glioma cell line by exposure to UVB light. The cells were visualized by optical phase-contrast microscopy and photographed before the UV treatment, immediately after the treatment, as well as at 30 min intervals during 5h observation period. For each of the 32 cells analyzed, cellular and nuclear fractal dimension, as well as nuclear lacunarity, were determined at each time point. Our data demonstrate that cellular ultrastructural complexity determined by fractal dimension and lacunarity significantly decreases after the UV irradiation, with the nuclear lacunarity being a particularly sensitive parameter in detecting early apoptosis. Importantly, fractal analysis was able to detect cellular apoptotic changes earlier than conventional flow cytometric analysis of phosphatidylserine exposure, DNA fragmentation and cell membrane permeabilization. These results indicate that fractal analysis might be a powerful and affordable method for non-invasive early identification of apoptosis in cell cultures.
