Abstract
In awaken rats, ECG and EEG were simultaneously analysed in order to quantify the cortical EEG and beat-to-beat heart rate variability (HRV) in response to light onset. The HRV bands LF (40-200 mHz), MF (200-600 mHz) and HF (600-2500 mHz) and the EEG bands delta (1-4 Hz), theta (4-8 Hz), alpha (8-13 Hz) and beta (13-32 Hz) were assessed. Light onset induced a significant arousal reaction in the EEG, manifested by a global decrease in total spectral power and a shift towards theta and beta bands, while total HRV spectral power increased, with a shift to the sympathetic-related MF band. This simultaneous changes in HRV and EEG induced by light onset could be triggered by the same common factor that controls both oscillatory responses.

Abstract
Functional state of cardiac nervous links and pattern of cardiogenic reflectory responses to radiation (4 Gy) were studied in acute experiments on anesthetized rats at various periods after single radiation. The control level of nervous activity significantly varies in different terms after radiation. Intensification of parasympathetic effects and domination of depressor reactions are typical of the initial period (the 1st day). A decrease in the sympathetic tone and weakening of adrenergic influences are observed in all terms after radiation (from the 1st till the 14th day). Interrelationships between sympathetic and parasympathetic links of heart regulation as well as cardiogenic reflectory responses are not restored to the control level in remote terms after radiation (the 14th-20th days). So, single radiation of animals in a dose of 4 Gy has induced a disorder in the nervous heart regulation, which may be a cause of different pathological states.

Abstract
Young and senescent rats were exposed to 2,450 GHz microwaves for 45' and the effects of this treatment on the noradrenergic pattern and beta-cardiac and alpha-aortic receptorial functions were evaluated. In young animals, an increase in noradrenergic innervation was observed, while no functional modification was shown. In aged rats the increase in fluorescent fibers was almost the same as that observed in young rats, but significant variations in functional responses were found. Both at atrial and ventricular levels responses to the beta-agonist isoprenaline were unmodified in their affinity indices, but showed a marked decrease in the maximal responses; by contrast the activity of noradrenaline on the aortic alpha-adrenoceptors showed a great increase in maximal response without changes in the pD2 values. These results suggest that the predominant effect of microwave exposure consists in an increase in the noradrenergic pattern, and this effect is not related to the functional modifications.

Abstract
Young sympathetic neurons die when deprived of nerve growth factor (NGF). Under such circumstances, cell death is appropriate to the developing nervous system and requires RNA and protein synthesis. We have hypothesized the existence of an endogenous death program within neurons that is suppressed by trophic factors. The extent and timing of required changes in the synthetic events that comprise the death program are unknown. In an effort to characterize the biochemical events that mediate the death program further, we performed several experiments on embryonic rat sympathetic neurons in vitro. The death program was blocked with cycloheximide when total protein synthesis was inhibited > or = 80%. When protein synthesis was inhibited within 22 +/- 4 h of NGF deprivation, death was prevented in half the neurons. Hence, we define the commitment point for protein synthesis to be 22 +/- 4 h. Analogously, the commitment point for RNA synthesis was 26 +/- 4 h and that for NGF rescue, 24 +/- 4 h. We tested the ability of a wide variety of chemicals to interfere with the death program. Most compounds tested were unable to prevent neuronal death. Some treatments, however, did save NGF-deprived neurons and were subsequently characterized. These included ultraviolet light and agents that raise intracellular concentrations of cAMP. Finally, we looked for the neuronal expression in vitro and in vivo of genes that have been associated with programmed death in other cell types, including TRPM-2/SGP-2, polyubiquitin, TGF beta-1, c-fos, and c-myc. None of these genes showed significant activation associated with neuronal death.

Abstract
Ionizing radiation (IR) irreversibly damages salivary glands. The pathologic mechanism is unknown. Previously we reported that parotid serous acinar cells may not be the primary site of damage by IR. The purpose of this study was to determine if IR alters sympathetic nerve function in rat parotid glands. Male adult rats received a single dose of radiation (20 Gy) to the head and neck. Three days after IR, parotid saliva secretion induced by norepinephrine (NE) was completely blocked. Catecholamine uptake and metabolism were studied by injecting [3H] dopamine ([3H]DA) into irradiated rats, as a bolus. After 60 min, animals were sacrificed and the parotid gland, submandibular gland, and left ventricle removed. Tissue contents of [3H]DA and [3H]NE, identified by HPLC, were unaffected by IR. The results indicate that IR abolishes acinar responsiveness to NE without affecting parotid sympathetic nerve function.

Abstract
A comparative study was made of the effect of gamma/neutron and X-radiation on the forepart of dog abdomen. The RBE coefficient was found to depend upon body mass and to range from 1.3 to 1.5. The exclusion of the sympathetic nervous system before irradiation was shown to aggravate the clinical condition and to increase the death rate. On the contrary, the exclusion of the parasympathetic nervous system before irradiation and gastric lavage after irradiation improved the clinical picture of radiation sickness and increased the radioresistance of dogs.

Abstract
1. The short-term effect of a single dose of 4500 rad X-irradiation on sympathetic neurotransmission (involving both noradrenergic and purinergic components) was assessed in the rabbit central ear artery, 1, 4 and 6 weeks post-irradiation. 2. Neurally mediated contractions were reduced as early as 1 week post-irradiation, with responses to lower frequency stimulation being initially most affected. This suggest that the purinergic component of the contractile response is affected earlier than the adrenergic component. 3. There was no change in the amplitude or sensitivity of treated preparations to the cumulative application of noradrenaline when compared with untreated preparations. In contrast, contractions to alpha, beta-methylene ATP (1 microM), a P2-purinoceptor agonist, were significantly increased at 4 and 6 weeks post-irradiation, although not at 1 week post-irradiation. 4. There were no apparent changes in the pattern of catecholamine fluorescence as a result of irradiation. However, the tissue content of noradrenaline was significantly reduced 6 weeks post-irradiation when compared with control preparations. 5. It is concluded that damage to sympathetic cotransmission is one of the early effects of irradiation, with initial impairment predominantly of the purinergic component.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate baroreflex activity in hypertensive patients with orthostatic hypotension (OH) due to sinoaortic baroreceptor denervation. The study concerned 3 patients (pts), 58-63 years, mean age 60.6 +/- 2 with both arterial hypertension (paroxysms recorded at 250/130 mmHg) and OH. They received radiation therapy to the entire cervical area for neoplasm, 9.6 +/- 2.8 years ago and had a carotid murmur without significant stenosis. Every pt had a severe and symptomatic OH: blood pressure (BP) and heart rate (HR) were respectively 163 +/- 17/105 +/- 7, 82 +/- 5 b/mn in lying position and 82 +/- 16/53 +/- 9 mmHg, 99 +/- 1 b/mm in standing position. The standing-induced increase in HR was lower (delta HR = + 17.3 b/mn) than expected; atropine (0.02 mg/kg) infusion and cold pressor test were ineffective; the massage of sinocarotid receptors induced a slight decrease in HR (delta HR = - 8 b/mn) and BP was not modified by Valsalva's maneuver. Infusion of norepinephrine (0.016 mg/mn) performed in one pt, increased BP without effect on HR. Platelet alpha 2-adrenoreceptors (alpha 2AR) evaluated by (3H) Yohimbine binding showed a significant increase in alpha 2AR number (Bmax), without any significant change in affinity (KD) when compared with normotensive and essential hypertensive pts: (table; see text) This study described an unusual etiology of a paroxysmal hypertension with orthostatic hypotension, demonstrated the impairment of baroreflex activity and suggested the potential interest of platelet alpha 2 adrenoceptors measurement to evaluate sympathetic tone in these patients.

Abstract
Low energetic laser radiation produces stimulating influence on posttraumatic regeneration of interneuronal connections of the sympathetic trunk. Local effect of the low energetic laser with exposition of 25 sec., power of the incident ray 16 mVt/cm2 increases the cause of reparative regeneration of sympathetic preganglionic fibers. Restoration of the cranial cervical ganglion (CCG) connections with the spinal cord takes place 5-6 days earlier comparing with the control. Localization and structural organization of the spinal initial neurons is stated, their processes reach the CCG.

Abstract
A study was made of 74 patients with esophageal and cardiac cancer, Stages II and IV. The excretion of catecholamines, corticosteroids and their precursors was studied, tests with adrenalin before and after preoperative irradiation at a summary dose of 30 Gy were done. It has been shown that before the start of radiation therapy the excretion of catecholamines and corticosteroids is lowered, the reaction to adrenalin administration is negative in most patients, the phase syndrome of cardiac hypodynamics associated with disturbed function of the sympathoadrenal system was revealed. After irradiation DOPA and dopamine excretion gets still lower whereas adrenalin excretion remains at the initial reduced level, the level of noradrenalin increases but does not achieve the normal level, i. e. a predominant decrease of catecholamine synthesis is observed. Adrenalin tests after irradiation revealed the depletion of the reaction of the cardiovascular system interrelated, to a great extent, with the activity of the sympathoadrenal system. Preoperative irradiation in patients with esophageal and cardiac cancer results in an increased excretion of 17-ketosteroids (17-KS) and 17-ketogenic steroids, however 17-KS excretion does not reach the normal level. For better tolerance of irradiation and for a radiosensitization effect testenate is administered to patients before and during radiation therapy. The administration of testenate 7-10 days before the start and during radiotherapy proved to be effective which was confirmed by noticeable necrobiotic and necrotic changes of cancer cells.

Abstract
The effects of whole body x-irradiation on the fine structure of sympathetic neurons were studied in 15 unanesthetized adult frogs (Rana pipiens), as seen at intervals ranging from 1 hour to 2 weeks after single exposures to 1000 r and 2000 r. Using standard procedures, the lumbar sympathetic ganglia of experimental and 20 control animals were prepared for electron microscope examination. Radiation produced conspicuous but irregular and variable deterioration, swelling, and clearing of neuronal lysosomes. These changes may have been due to an increased permeability of lysosomal membranes, causing the entry of fluid into lysosomes and their swelling and deterioration, but a pronounced escape of lysosomal enzymes into the cytoplasm was questionable. Less frequent were the dilatation and the parallel layering or complete fusion and tight packing of the rough-edged endoplasmic reticulum. The number of vacuoles, probably derived from Golgi cisternae, was somewhat increased. These vacuoles were conjectured to serve the "sequestration" of damaged cytoplasmic areas. Abnormal amounts of presumptive glycogen granules occupied some axons of myelinated and unmyelinated fibers, especially of presynaptic nerve fibers. This was assumed to be due to a decreased breakdown of glycogen and probably caused the interruption of the transmission of nerve impulses in presynaptic fibers. The maximal incidence of these alterations seemingly occurred 8 days after exposure to 1000 r, and 1 hour after x-irradiation with 2000 r. Signs of recovery appeared 2 weeks after exposure to 2000 r.
