Research Progress on the Experimental Model and Underlying Mechanistic Studies of Tension-Type Headaches.

Purpose Of Review: Tension-type headaches (TTH) significantly diminish patients' quality of life and increase absenteeism, thereby imposing a substantial economic burden. Animal models are essential tools for studying disease mechanisms and drug development. However, until now, little focus has been placed on summarizing the animal models of TTH and associated mechanistic studies.

Analyte-induced laccase-mimicking activity inhibition and conductivity enhancement of electroactive nanozymes for ratiometric electrochemical detection of thiram.

Most nanozyme-based electrochemical sensing strategies depend on the catalytic formation of electroactive substances, while the electrochemical properties of nanozymes have rarely been explored. In this study, magnetic nanoparticles encapsulated metal-organic framework served as precursors to prepare bioinspired nanozymes with both laccase-mimicking activity and electroactivity. Owing to the strong affinity between thiram (THR) and Cu(II) active sites in the nanozymes, the binding of THR inhibited nanozyme catalytic activity toward catechol (CT) oxidation and enhanced nanozyme conductivity.

Sirtuins: Promising Therapeutic Targets to Treat Ischemic Stroke.

Stroke is a major cause of mortality and disability globally, with ischemic stroke (IS) accounting for over 80% of all stroke cases. The pathological process of IS involves numerous signal molecules, among which are the highly conserved nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD)-dependent enzymes known as sirtuins (SIRTs). SIRTs modulate various biological processes, including cell differentiation, energy metabolism, DNA repair, inflammation, and oxidative stress.

We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of SAFI for patients with AIS undergoing IVT. We searched seven electronic databases and two registries from inception to July 24, 2022, for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) assessing the effect of SAFI plus recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) on the functional recovery compared to rt-PA alone in patients with AIS.

Post-stroke cognitive impairment and synaptic plasticity: A review about the mechanisms and Chinese herbal drugs strategies.

Post-stroke cognitive impairment, is a major complication of stroke, characterized by cognitive dysfunction, which directly affects the quality of life. Post-stroke cognitive impairment highlights the causal relationship between stroke and cognitive impairment. The pathological damage of stroke, including the increased release of excitatory amino acids, oxidative stress, inflammatory responses, apoptosis, changed neurotrophic factor levels and gene expression, influence synaptic plasticity.

Methods: We performed a comprehensive search for SRs of acupuncture for AIS in seven electronic databases up to May 23, 2022.

A bibliometric analysis and visualization of tension-type headache.

Background: Tension-type headache (TTH) is the most prevalent headache in the clinical practice, leading to impaired social activities, work-related disability, and heavy financial burdens. Previous studies have described possible inducement, potential pathophysiology, and clinical management of TTH; however, due to the lack of attention, literature involving bibliometric analysis is sporadic. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the current hotspots and future directions of the TTH field by bibliometric analysis.

Fast Synthesis of Pt Nanocrystals and Pt/Microporous LaO Materials Using Acoustic Levitation.

Usually, we must use an appropriate support material to keep the metal species stable and finely dispersed as supported metal nanoparticles for industry application. Therefore, the choice of support material is a key factor in determining the dispersion and particle size of the noble metal species. Here, we report the synthesis of a single-atom Pt material in the solution and supported Pt nanoclusters on microporous LaO by a one-step acoustic levitation method without any pretreatment/modification of raw oxide.

Multishelled Metal Oxide Hollow Spheres: Easy Synthesis and Formation Mechanism.

Uniform multishelled NiO, Co3 O4 , ZnO, and Au@NiO hollow spheres were synthesized (NiO and Co3 O4 hollow spheres for the first time) by a simple shell-by-shell self-assembly allowing for tuning of the the size, thickness and shell numbers by controlling the heat treatment, glucose/metal salt molar ratio, and hydrothermal reaction time. These findings further the development of synthetic methodologies for multishelled hollow structures and could open up new opportunities for deeper understanding of the mechanisms of shell-by-shell self-assembly. Moreover, the double-shelled NiO hollow sphere exhibits a higher photocatalytic activity for degradation of methyl orange than its morphological counterparts.
