Background: The incidence and mortality of sepsis increase with aging, but animal models often use young animals whose biological ages do not reflect patient populations. We compared old and young mice in a murine model of resuscitated sepsis. Methods: C57Bl/6 mice (Young 2–3 months, n=32; Old 15–20 months, n=24) were made septic by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) and resuscitated with fluids and antibiotics q 6 hr; controls underwent sham ligation. Serial echocardiography using a 30MHz probe was performed under light isoflurane anesthesia for measurement of stroke volume (SV), fractional shortening (FS), and cardiac output (CO). Blood pressure was measured using implantable radiotelemeters. From the waveforms, heart rate volatility (% of 5 minute intervals with standard deviation < the lowest 5% of baseline), an index of heart rate variability less susceptible to artifact than other measures, was derived for the entire experiment. Results: After CLP, heart rate and blood pressure did not differ significantly between old and young mice. SV decreased early in both groups (old 54.4 to 25.6 μL, young 57.2 to 24.0 p<0.01 vs baseline), as did CO. With resuscitation, SV and CO improved in both groups (old 48.0 μL and 24.5 ml/min, young 44.0 μL and 20.7 ml/min). Old animals were larger than young animals, but normalized values (% change from baseline) for SV, CO, and LVEDV were similar after CLP. Old septic mice had more periods of low heart rate volatility than young septic mice or old controls (62% vs 37% vs 3% of the experimental period). Mortality tended to be higher in old than young mice (46% vs 22% at 72 hr, p=0.09, 54% vs 22% at 144 hr, p=0.06). Conclusion: In a clinically relevant model of murine sepsis, age did not have a significant impact on hemodynamics, but decreased heart rate variability was more prominent in aged mice, and age was associated with increased mortality. This suggests the potential for nonlinear hemodynamic parameters to provide insights into both the pathogenesis of disease and the effects of aging.

Normal aging results in a pronounced spatial memory deficit associated with a rapid decay of long-term potentiation at the synapses between the perforant path and spines in the medial and distal thirds of the dentate molecular layer (DML), suggesting the alteration of synaptic transmission in the dentate fascia. While the number of dentate granule cells remains unchanged, and there are no obvious pathological changes in these cells associated with increasing age, the density of their axospinous contacts has been shown to decrease. There are indications that the presynaptic element is affected by senescence before the postsynaptic element, yet little attention has been given to the fine structure of the remaining axon terminals. Therefore, we studied the axon terminals of the perforant path in the DML across three age groups.5 Male rats (Fischer 344) of each age group (3, 24 and 30 months), were perfused through the aorta.

Purpose The main purpose of this study was to evaluate aging effects on the predominantly subcortical (brainstem) encoding of the second-formant frequency transition, an essential acoustic cue for perceiving place of articulation. Method Synthetic consonant–vowel syllables varying in second-formant onset frequency (i.e., /ba/, /da/, and /ga/ stimuli) were used to elicit speech-evoked auditory brainstem responses (speech-ABRs) in 16 young adults ( M age = 21 years) and 11 older adults ( M age = 59 years). Repeated-measures mixed-model analyses of variance were performed on the latencies and amplitudes of the speech-ABR peaks. Fixed factors were phoneme (repeated measures on three levels: /b/ vs. /d/ vs. /g/) and age (two levels: young vs. older). Results Speech-ABR differences were observed between the two groups (young vs. older adults). Specifically, older listeners showed generalized amplitude reductions for onset and major peaks. Significant Phoneme × Group interactions were not observed. Conclusions Results showed aging effects in speech-ABR amplitudes that may reflect diminished subcortical encoding of consonants in older listeners. These aging effects were not phoneme dependent as observed using the statistical methods of this study.
