Electrophysiological studies have revealed an increase in the level of tonic inhibition in the hippocampus following prenatal protein malnutrition in rats. In the present study, whole cell patch clamp recordings of bipolar interneurons in the stratum radiatum of the CA3 subfield were used to determine whether this increase in inhibition can be accounted for by a change in the electrophysiological properties of GABAergic interneurons. Hippocampal slices were prepared from juvenile rats whose dams were fed either a normal (25% casein) or low (6% casein) protein diet throughout pregnancy. Intrinsic membrane and action potential properties were unaltered by the prenatal nutritional insult. In most respects the characteristics of GABAA receptor-mediated inhibitory postsynaptic currents (IPSCs) and the modulation of such currents by the benzodiazepine agonist zolpidem were also similar in cells from the two nutritional groups. While the frequency of spontaneous inhibitory currents was unaltered, miniature (Tetrodotoxin resistant) inhibitory currents occurred at a significantly increased frequency in interneurons from prenatally protein malnourished rats. Thus, while the basic membrane properties of interneurons are preserved, there is a significant increase in the probability of GABA release from interneurons following prenatal protein malnutrition.

[Diagnostics and treatment of sleep disorders in elderly people]
[Article in Russian]
Dzeruzhinskaia NA, Syropiatov OG, Gromova AE, Mukhomorov AE.
A meta-analysis was done of the published literature concerning the modern status of the issue of sleep disturbances and of findings from the author's investigations. Data are submitted obtained in a clinical examination of 61 elderly patient in a therapeutical hospital. In the above patients, high prevalence has been revealed of different sleep disturbances. Insomnia is often a sequela of psychophysiological derangements, which fact necessitates an exhaustive differential diagnosis and choice of remedies to be used in therapy of the above disorders. An experience is described of employment of zopiclon (Somnol Grindex) to deal with sleep problems in those patients in the involutional period. It is suggested that psychiatrist services be more actively used to give the necessary advice to those patients of the cardiological profile presenting with sleep disturbances.

Zolpidem behavioral pharmacology in baboons: self-injection, discrimination, tolerance and withdrawal.

This study examined in baboons various behavioral effects of zolpidem, a short-acting imidazopyridine hypnotic which has selectivity for subtypes of the benzodiazepine receptor. Intravenous drug self-injection was studied under a fixed-ratio 80- or 160-response schedule with a 3-hr timeout after each injection. Maximal rates of self-injection maintained by zolpidem (0.01-1 mg/kg) were consistently higher than those maintained by vehicle and the benzodiazepine hypnotic triazolam. Substitution of vehicle after about 2 weeks of zolpidem self-injection (7-8 mg/kg/day) resulted in a time-limited suppression of food pellet intake, indicating a drug withdrawal effect. In a drug discrimination study, baboons were trained to discriminate either lorazepam (1.8 mg/kg p.o.) or pentobarbital (10 mg/kg p.o.) from the no-drug condition. Zolpidem (0.1-18 mg/kg p.o.) occasioned both lorazepam- and pentobarbital-appropriate responding (greater than 80%) in a dose-dependent manner. In a final experiment, zolpidem (3.2 or 5.6 mg/kg i.m.) produced ataxia and sedation that progressively decreased over 7 consecutive days of administration. The withdrawal, discriminative stimulus effects and tolerance shown with zolpidem were similar to those shown previously with benzodiazepines under similar conditions. The rates of self-injection of zolpidem were similar to those maintained by intermediate duration barbiturates (e.g., pentobarbital) and higher than those maintained by 11 benzodiazepines studied previously under similar conditions. Further research on the reinforcing effects of zolpidem may provide useful insights into mechanisms underlying the maintenance of behavior by compounds acting through the benzodiazepine receptor.

Comparative in vivo and in vitro regional selectivity of central omega (benzodiazepine) site ligands in inhibiting [3H]flumazenil binding in the rat central nervous system.

The in vivo selectivity for central omega (benzodiazepine) modulatory site subtypes of ligands from several chemical classes has been evaluated by measuring the displacement of the in vivo binding of [3H]flumazenil to several rat central nervous system structures differentially enriched in omega 1 and omega 2 sites. This labeling was prevented in a dose-related manner by the i.p. administration, 30 min before the radioligand, of several benzodiazepine derivatives, the cyclopyrrolone derivatives suriclone and zopiclone, the triazolopyridazine derivative CL 218,872 and the imidazopyridine derivative zolpidem. Most of the benzodiazepine derivatives studied displayed in vivo some selectivity for omega 2-enriched structures. In contrast, oxoquazepam and CL 218,872 were 2- to 3-fold more potent at preventing [3H]flumazenil binding in omega 1-enriched (cerebellum) than in omega 2-enriched structures. Maximal inhibitions by zolpidem of in vivo [3H]flumazenil binding [cerebellum (100%) > cerebral cortex (79%) > or = striatum (74%) > hippocampus (52%) > spinal cord (37%)] were related to the relative omega 1/omega 2 distribution ratio in each structure. These differences did not result from an uneven distribution of this compound in the central nervous system. Quantitative autoradiographic studies performed on 30 central nervous system regions showed a strong correlation between the in vitro and in vivo regional selectivity of zolpidem. For all the drugs studied there was a significant global correlation between their potency at inhibiting [3H]flumazenil binding in vitro and in vivo either in the cerebellum (P < .001) or in the spinal cord (P < .01) and between the in vitro and in vivo cerebellum/spinal cord selectivity. The differential in vivo selectivity of zolpidem may account for the reported hypnoselective profile of this imidazopyridine in the rodent.
