Synthesis of new triazole derivatives and their potential applications for removal of heavy metals from aqueous solution and antibacterial activities.

In this paper, triazole derivatives were prepared by a three-step mild reaction using carbon disulfide as starting material. In face of microbial threats, we found that compound 3-cyclopropyl-[1,2,4]triazolo [3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazole-6-thiol () has good antibacterial activity, inhibition and clearance ability against biofilms, low hemolytic activity and toxicity, good anti-inflammatory activity. At the same time, we found that and series compounds have good metal ion scavenging ability, with removal rates of series ranging from 47% to 67% and series ranging from 67% to 87%.

Causal relationship between immune cells and epilepsy mediated by metabolites analyzed through Mendelian randomization.

Our study investigated the causal relationship between immune cells, metabolites, and epilepsy using two-sample Mendelian Randomization (MR) and mediation MR analysis of 731 immune cell traits and 1400 metabolites. Our core methodology centered on inverse-variance weighted MR, supplemented by other methods. This approach was crucial in clarifying the potential intermediary functions of metabolites in the genetic links between traits of immune cells and epilepsy.

Advances in Circular RNA in the Pathogenesis of Epilepsy.

Recent studies evidenced the involvement of circular RNA (circRNA) in neuroinflammation, apoptosis, and synaptic remodeling suggesting an important role for circRNA in the occurrence and development of epilepsy. This review provides an overview of circRNAs considered to be playing regulatory roles in the process of epilepsy and to be involved in multiple biological epilepsy-related processes, such as hippocampal sclerosis, inflammatory response, cell apoptosis, synaptic remodeling, and cell proliferation and differentiation. This review covers the current research status of differential expression of circRNA-mediated seizures, m6A methylation, demethylation-mediated seizures in post transcriptional circRNA modification, as well as the mechanisms of m5C- and m7G-modified circRNA.

Differentially expressed circRNA and functional pathways in the hippocampus of epileptic mice based on next-generation sequencing.

Epilepsy is a clinical syndrome caused by the highly synchronized abnormal discharge of brain neurons. It has the characteristics of paroxysmal, transient, repetitive, and stereotyped. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a recently discovered type of noncoding RNA with diverse cellular functions related to their excellent stability; additionally, some circRNAs can bind and regulate microRNAs (miRNAs).

LncRNA UCA1 alleviates aberrant hippocampal neurogenesis through regulating miR-375/SFRP1-mediated WNT/β-catenin pathway in kainic acid-induced epilepsy.

Temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) is a chronic disease of the nervous system, associated with increased proliferation in the hippocampus. Urothcarcinoma associated 1 (UCA1) is a long long non-coding RNA that was shown to regulate proliferation and differentiation of neural progenitors in vitro. We hypothesised that TLE-associated abnormal proliferation is a consequence of the downregulation of UCA1.

Abnormalities of the uncinate fasciculus correlate with executive dysfunction in patients with left temporal lobe epilepsy.

Objective: To evaluate executive deficits in patients with left temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) and to analyze the association of executive deficits and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) parameters of the uncinate fasciculus.

Methods: This study included 14 adult left TLE patients and 15 healthy controls. Executive function was examined using neuropsychological tests, including the Stroop color-word, digit span, digit symbol, trail-making test, and verbal fluency tests.
