DEXAMETHASONE ENHANCES GLUTAMINE SYNTHETASE ACTIVITY AND REDUCES N-METHYL-D-ASPARTATE NEUROTOXICITY IN MIXED CULTURES OF NEURONS AND ASTROCYTES

Dexamethasone enhances glutamine synthetase activity and reduces N-methyl-D-aspartate neurotoxicity in mixed cultures of neurons and astrocytes

Astrocytes are claimed to protect neurons against excitotoxicity by clearing glutamate from the extracellular space and rapidly converting it into glutamine.Glutamine, is then released into the extracellular medium, taken up by neurons and transformed back into glutamate which is Collections then stored into synaptic vesicles.Glutamine synthetase (

Advanced methods of practical training of intervention and rescue personnel in toxic / explosive / flammable environments

In the activity of intervention and rescue, practical training has the primary role, thereby making it possible for rescuers to be permanently prepared to intervene in case of major incidents, accidents or events.In addition to classic training methods, namely training carried out in installations within production platforms, equipment endowment of

Linear inverted pendulum control based on improved ADRC

An improved active disturbance rejection control (ADRC) strategy is proposed for the control precision improvement of the trolley position and the pendulum angle of the linear inverted pendulum.First, a new nonlinear function with improved continuity and conductivity around the zero point is designed.On the basis of this new function, the control r
