The dynamics of stabilometric indicators of players and non-athletes is considered. It is shown that in the Romberg sample with eyes open and closed disparities in maintaining the balance between players and non-athletes are practically not detected. The most significant shifts of the stabilometric performance we observed in the vestibular stimulation in the Romberg sample with eyes open, which is significantly less than that of the players.

Background. Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurobiological disorder characterised by abnormal development noted before three years of age. One of the forms of therapy suggested to children with ASD is animal-assisted therapy (AAT). AAT is a planned and organised therapeutic intervention that aims to improve physical, cognitive, behavioural, and socioemotional performance. The present study examined the effects of AAT on parent reports of their child’s behaviour and motor activity. Material and methods. The study group consisted of 50 parents (38 females and 12 males) of children diagnosed with ASD and who participated in AAT. All participants resided in the Lubelskie Voivodeship, Poland. A questionnaire was developed for parents for this study that included demographic information, and ten questions regarding the effects of AAT on their child with ASD. Results. The most commonly reported forms of AAT among parents of children with ASD included canine-assisted therapy and equine-assisted therapy. Parents reported that AAT was associated with more animated gestures (p = 0.01), an increased frequency of verbal reactions (p = 0.02), and an increased frequency of expression of emotions and feelings (p = 0.05) among their children. Conclusions. According to parents of children with ASD, AAT has positive effects on their child’s emotion-related functioning, motor endurance, balance, and motor skills. However, access to AAT in the Lubelskie Voivodeship is limited.

The neuropeptide angiotensin II (Ang II) has been recently found to be involved in cognitive processes. Both AT1 and AT2 angiotensin receptors seem to mediate this action. However, unspecific behavioural effects of the peptide, particularly motor and emotional, appear to influence the interpretation of cognition-oriented tests and contribute to considerable differences in opinions of various authors on the subject. In this study, aimed specifically at the assessment of these effects, we found small and insignificant changes in motor performance measured in open field after intracebroventricular injections of Ang II and its receptor subtype-specific antagonists; losartan (AT1) and PD 123319 (AT2). However, Ang II was found to increase substantially anxiety measured in elevated 'plus' maze and impair motor coordination measured in 'chimney test'. Interestingly, both antagonists abolished Ang II generated anxiety and only losartan counteracted impaired motor coordination caused by the peptide. The AT2 receptor antagonist PD 123319 impairing motor coordination on its own, nonetheless partly diminished that caused by Ang II. Therefore it appears safe to conclude that mood but not motor effects of AT1 and AT2 receptor affecting drugs may significantly bias interpretation of the cognition - oriented tests on these drugs.

The effect of anticholinergic drugs on gastrointestinal motility is complex and incompletely recognized. Accordingly, in 6 adult sheep bipolar electrodes and strain gage force transducers were surgically attached to the antral, small intestinal and gallbladder wall at the serosal side. During chronic experiments the myoelectric and mechanical recordings were performed in fasted and non-fasted animals before and after various doses of hexamethonium, atropine and pirenzepine given intravenously. Hexamethonium administration triggered rebound excitation after an inhibitory period almost in all the recording sites. Administration of atropine and pirenzepine evoked these secondary contractions mostly in the small intestine and gallbladder. No rebounds were observed when the anticholinergic drugs were given during feeding. In fasted animals, rebound excitation arrived later but more frequently than in non-fasted animals. The excitatory changes were dose-dependent. In the gallbladder, these values were lower than in the small intestine. The frequency of the recurrent pattern was dependent upon the dose of the anticholinergic drug used. It is concluded that nicotinic receptors are more important than muscarinic receptors in the initiation of the rebound excitation in pyloric antrum while in the small bowel and gallbladder the role of both cholinergic receptors is similar. The anticholinergic drugs should be used with caution in all these clinical situations, where the enhancement of gastrointestinal motility must be avoided.

Acta Physiol. Pol. 1990, 41(1-3); 71-77. The effect of thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH) microinjections into the central amygdala (10 g in 0.5 1 into each side) on locomotor activity, water intake and dominance behavior in a water competition test was investigated in male Wistar rats. TRH increased the general motility without altering the number of rearings. Intra-amygdaloid TRH injection to submissive rats resulted in a loss ol subordinate position in these animals in the water competition test. A tendency to decrease dominance followed the injection оf the peptide to the dominant animals. The effect of TRH in the dominance test does not appear to involve influence on the thirst drive as microinjection of the peptide did not change significantly the water consumption in thirsty rats.

The aim of the research was to diagnose chosen individual factors of adolescents’ physical development (motor skills, physical fitness, motor activity needs) and their influence on their actual level of physical activity in their leisure time. The subjects of the research were students of Cracow’s junior high schools. The probability sample of 295 girls and 329 boys were examined. The method used was a survey. The results of the examinations showed that the chosen individual factors had an influence on the actual level of physical activity in their leisure time. The boys’ motor skills (in contrast with the rest of the factors) correlated the least with the increase of the actual level of physical activity in leisure time, and in case of the girls, they did not correlate at all. Youngsters’ individual predispositions to undertake physical activity in their free time were at a medium-high level. Nevertheless, their internalization did not take place because more than a half of the subjects undertook physical activities at a low level (51.0%) or not at all (7.4%).

This study was designed to determine the role of cholecystokinin (CCK) in postprandial motility pattern of the duodenum and gallbladder (GB) in conscious dogs provided with chronic duodenal electrodes for recording of myoelectric activity and GB fistulas for measurement of intraluminal pressure and volume of GB and to calculate the GB motility index (MI) and GB emptying rate. During naturally occuring activity front (phase III MMC) in the duodenum there was significant increase in the MI of GB accompanied by about 20-30% reduction in the GB volume. These changes in duodenal and GB motility pattern could be duplicated by i. v. motilin. Feeding abolished the appearence of spontaneous activity front in the duodenum and greatly increased motility of GB while reducing its volume. Administration of CCK receptor antagonists in fed dogs failed to affect the motility changes induced by meal in the duodenum but abolished these of the GB. Vagal cholinergic stimulation with insulin, 2DG or urecholine caused similar effects to that induced by food i. e. increased duodenal spike activity, abolished phase III of the MMC, decreased GB volume and increased GB motility. Pretreatment with CCK antagonists did not affect significantly duodenal spike activity or GB motility but significantly increased the GB volume. Atropine 125 µg/kg) blocked almost completely spontaneous activity front in the duodenum and accompanying alterations in the motiliti and volume of GB. We conclude that CCK contributes to the MMC related alterations in the GB motor activity and is essential in cholinergic stimulation induced of the GB emtying but not in vagally induced duodenal and GB motility.

The aim of this study was to examine the influence of cholecystokinin (CCK)-octapeptide (OP) and its amphibian analogue cerulein infusions on duodenal myoelectric and motor activities, as well as to compare the effects of CCK peptides on duodenal bulb and duodenal motility in non-fasted conscious rams. Five rams underwent implantation of bipolar platinum electrodes to the duodenal bulb, and distal duodenum, as well as a strain gauge force transducer near the duodenal electrode. During continuous myoelectrical and motor recordings, 0.15 M NaCl or CCK peptides were administered intravenously. Infusions of CCK-OP at doses of 5 and 50 ng/kg/min and infusions of cerulein at doses of 0.5 and 1.5 ng/kg/min were applied for 60 min and started 15 min after the onset of the duodenal phase 2b of the migrating motor complex. The higher infusion dose of the CCK-OP in the duodenal bulb triggered the strong inhibitory response within few minutes following the start of infusion while in the duodenum its inhibitory effect was shorter and arrived within 40-50 min following the onset of the infusion. The higher dose of cerulein evoked a reaction similar to CCK-OP response in the duodenal bulb while in the duodenum the clear inhibitory response arrived about 20 min earlier than after CCK-OP. A lower infusion dose of CCK peptides evoked less pronounced effects. It is concluded that CCK-OP inhibits ovine duodenal motility in a dose-and region-specific manner. This effect seems to be physiological.

In this work we compared in rats the influence of heptapeptide 1-7-angiotensin II, hexapeptide 2-7-angiotensin II, pentapeptide 3-7-angiotensin II and angiotensin II on motility, stereotypy, learning of conditioned avoidance responses and recall of passive avoidance behaviour allowing to avoid aversive stimulation. The 4 peptides administered 15 min before the experiment, tended to increase the number of crossings, rearings and bar approaches in open field, significantly accelerated acquisition of conditioned avoidance responses and improved recall of the passive avoidance. All the peptides applied immediately before the experiment intensified stereotypy evoked by apomorphine in the dose 1 mg/kg and amphetamine in the dose 6.5 mg/kg given intraperitoneally. These results show full psychotropic activity of the examined fragments of angiotensin II, comparable with the activity of the parent octapeptide. Our previous hypothesis that the Val-Tyr-Ile-His-Pro fragment of angiotensin II is responsible for the psychotropic activity evoked by angiotensins in rats is thus confirmed.

A current problem of the population nowadays appears to be the lack of motor activity, the increase in BMI and the growth in stressogenic factors in the way of life of the population. This in turn affects the quality of human life and health. On a sample of university undergraduates (794 men and 1,169 women) we were observing the relation between overweight, namely the level of BMI gained via somatometric measurement, and the amount of subjectively evaluated level of motor activity, in their relation to the subjectively perceived extent of stress in their lifestyle, using the method of questionnaire. The results in both genders confirmed the existing relationship between BMI values and the degree of physical activity as well as the correlation between motor activity and subjectively perceived stress. As a result, the relationship between the variables motor activity and stress level did not prove significant.

Sickness behaviour (SB) consists of the set of adaptive responses of the host to severe infections and inflammation. It includes, among others, the thermoregulatory responses such as regulated increase (fever) and/or decrease (anapyrexia) of body temperature (Tb), decrease of motor activity (lethargy), and loss of appetite (hypophagia) resulting in a transient loss of body weight. It is thought that SB is partially induced by the immune-derived mediators such as cytokines and prostaglandins acting on the central nervous system. It has repeatedly been shown, on the other hand, that severe infections (pneumonia, tissue septicemia) can impair processes of the gases exchange both in the lungs and in distal tissues including brain, which may lead to hypoxia of the affected organs. Therefore, we have tested the hypothesis that hypoxia may also provoke SB. The study was conducted on freely moving biotelemetered mice kept at 28°C ambient and 12/12 h light/dark cycle. We demonstrate that mice exposed for 7 days to hypoxia (11%O2) displayed all symptoms of SB. Interleukin-6 deficient mice (IL-6 KO) revealed reduced SB symptoms under hypoxic conditions. Recovery of the hypoxia-exposed mice to a normal rhythm in Tb, motor activity and feeding was unaffected by mepacrine, a phospholipase A2 blocker. The recovery, however, was significantly impaired by indomethacin, a cyclooxygenase inhibitor. Exposure to hypoxemia resulted in significant elevation of plasma IL-6 in both untreated and treated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) mice. It inhibited, however, a generation of blood prostaglandins (PGE2) in mice. Based on these data we conclude that IL-6 and accumulation of free arachidonic acid in biomembranes contribute to hypoxemia-induced SB.

The study investigated the mechanisms through which the hyperosmolarity might induce detrusor overactivity (DO). We compared the bladder activity in response to partial and complete blockade of TRPV1-6 and TRPA1 receptors. Experiments were performed on 42 rats. DO was induced by using hyperosmolar saline. All animals were randomly divided into six groups. The measurements represent the average of five bladder micturition cycles. Hyperosmolar saline induced DO. The complete blockade of TRPV1-6 and TRPA1 prevented DO. The partial blockade of TRPV1 didn't prevented DO. In the voiding phase periodical bladder contractions complexes occurred leading to slow urine flow due to bladder distension. Ruthenium red and capsaicin resulted in complete disorganisation of detrusor muscle contractility impairing urine voiding and leading to constantly lasting urine retention in healthy rats. Conclusions: hyperosmolar-induced DO is mediated by TRPV and TRPA1 channels; the hyperosmolar stimuli of urinary bladder might be transmitted mostly via ruthenium red sensitivity pathway.
