Abstract:
Median raphe cysts present anywhere between the external urethral meatus and the anus. The cysts can occur at parameatus, glans penis, penile shaft, scrotum, or perineum. Perianal region is an extremely rare location for these lesions. Here we present a 50-year-old male patient who presented with a cystic, fluctuant lesion, located at 12 o’clock in perianal region. Microscopic examination revealed a cystic lesion with keratinized and nonkeratinized stratified squamous epithelium, pseudostratified ciliated epithelium, and scattered goblet cells.

Hippocampal EEG, GABAergic interneurons, and principal cells were recorded simultaneously as rats foraged within one of three environments both before and after modulation of serotonergic inputs to the hippocampus. Median raphe microinjections of the 5-HT1a receptor agonist 8-OH-DPAT were made to produce inhibition of serotonergic neurons in this region. Such microinjections produced behavioral arousal and increases in the amplitude of hippocampal EEG theta.

Activation of 5-HT1A receptors in the medullary raphé decreases sympathetically mediated brown adipose tissue (BAT) thermogenesis and peripheral vasoconstriction when previously activated with leptin, LPS, prostaglandins, or cooling. It is not known whether shivering is also modulated by medullary raphé 5-HT1A receptors. We previously showed in conscious piglets that activation of 5-HT1A receptors with (±)-8-hydroxy-2-(dipropylamino)-tetralin (8-OH-DPAT) in the paragigantocellularis lateralis (PGCL), a medullary region lateral to the raphé that contains substantial numbers of 5-HT neurons, eli

These studies examined the hypothesis that serotonergic neurons located in central sites known to be involved with autonomic regulation are activated by cold exposure, a potent stimulator of the sympathetic nervous system. In all experiments, rats were exposed to either 3 °C or 22 °C for 24 h. Significant increases (p < 0.05) in urinary norepinephrine excretion, depletions of myocardial norepinephrine, and enhanced myocardial L-DOPA accumulation following decarboxylase inhibition provided evidence of sympathoexcitation at 3 °C.

Because (d-Ala2,N-Me-Phe4,Gly-ol)-enkephalin (DAMGO), a μ-receptor agonist, injected intravenously and locally in the caudal medullary raphe region (cMRR) decreased the ventilatory response to hypoxia and hypercapnia, we hypothesized that these treatments could inhibit sigh responses to these chemical stimuli.

Disinhibition of neurons in the region of the dorsomedial hypothalamus (DMH) elicits sympathetically mediated tachycardia in rats through activation of the brain stem raphe pallidus (RP), and this same mechanism appears to be largely responsible for the increases in heart rate (HR) seen in air jet stress in this species. Neurons projecting to the RP from the DMH are said to be concentrated in a specific subregion, the dorsal hypothalamic area (DA). Here, we examined the hypothesis that the location of RP-projecting neurons in the DA correspond to the sites at which microinjection of bicucullin

Background : Opioids, extensively used as analgesics, markedly depress ventilation, particularly the ventilatory responsiveness to hypercapnia in humans and animals predominantly via acting on mu receptors. The medullary raphe region (MRR) contains abundant mu receptors responsible for analgesia and is also an important central area involving carbon dioxide chemoreception and contributing to the ventilatory responsiveness to hypercapnia. Therefore, the authors asked whether activation of mu receptors in the caudal, medial, or rostral MRR depressed ventilation and the response to hypercapnia, r

It can be hypothesized that peripherally synthesized PGE2 transmits febrigenic signals to the brain via vagal afferent nerves. Before testing this hypothesis, we investigated whether the febrigenic effect of intravenously administered PGE2 is mediated by the brain and is not the result of a direct action of PGE2 on thermoeffectors. In anesthetized rats, intravenously injected PGE2 (100 μg/kg) caused an increase in sympathetic discharge to interscapular brown adipose
