Age-dependent changes in Fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF-2) expression in mouse cerebellar neurons.
Fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF-2) is a neurotrophic factor that regulates many neuronal functions and survival. We have characterised FGF-2 expression immunohistochemically in the cerebellum of young (4 months) and old (22 months) mice. About half of the population of the granule cells (GC), and all Purkinje cells (PC) expressed FGF-2 in all folia of the cerebellum at both ages. FGF-2 showed differential intracellular localization: predominantly localised to the nuclei of GC and present mainly in the cytosol of PC. There was a statistically significant (P = 0.0028) reduction in the number of FGF-2-positive GC in the cerebella of old (41.3+/-0.91%) compared to young (48.5+/-1.67%) mice, whereas no statistically significant age-dependent difference occurred in the number of FGF-2 positive PC. These results indicate a possible role of FGF-2 in cerebellar ageing.

Computerized measurement of ciliary beat frequency.
We describe how ciliary beat frequency (CBF) of human respiratory epithelium in vitro can be robustly and quickly measured. The proven photometric technique has been improved by using a microcomputer to calculate and display the results. The software, which runs on an IBM-compatible PC, was developed using Borland Turbo Pascal and employs a fast Fourier transform routine to derive the CBF. Results are displayed almost as soon as a cell is identified under the microscope, and are in accordance with previous work. The technique can now be used diagnostically and for a variety of drug trials on respiratory epithelium.
