The expression of related genes and proteins were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and Western blot, respectively.

Suppression of cerebral ischemia injury induced blood brain barrier breakdown by dexmedetomidine via promoting CCN1.

Background: Blood-brain barrier (BBB) could aggravate cerebral ischemia injury. Dexmedetomidine (Dex) has been believed to play a protective role in cerebral ischemia injury-induced BBB injury.

Methods: Middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) and oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) models were established to simulate cerebral ischemia injury.

P2Y receptor involved in HIV-1 gp120 induced neuropathy in superior cervical ganglia through NLRP3 inflammasome activation.

Cardiac autonomic neuropathy resulting from human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is common; however, its mechanism remains unknown. The current work attempted to explore the function and mechanism of the P2Y receptor in HIV-glycoprotein 120 (gp120)-induced neuropathy in cervical sympathetic ganglion. The superior cervical ganglion (SCG) of the male SD rat was coated with HIV-gp120 to establish a model of autonomic neuropathy.

The potential role of CpG oligodeoxynucleotides on diabetic cardiac autonomic neuropathy mediated by P2Y12 receptor in rat stellate ganglia.

Cardiac autonomic neuropathy has a high prevalence in type 2 diabetes, which increases the risk of cardiovascular system disorders. CpG oligodeoxynucleotide (CpG-ODN), a Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) ligand, has been shown to have cardioprotection and cellular protection. Our previous work showed that P2Y12 in stellate ganglia (SG) is involved in the process of diabetic cardiac autonomic neuropathy (DCAN).

Application of a preoperative pain management mode based on instant messaging software in elderly hip fracture patients: a randomized controlled trial.

Background: Preoperative analgesia of hip fracture in elderly patients is important, but it is also lacking. In particular, nerve block was not provided in time. In order to provide more effective analgesia, we designed a multimodal pain management mode based on instant messaging software.

Rectus sheath block versus local anesthetic infiltration in pediatric laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair: a randomized controlled trial.

Background: Rectus sheath block (RSB) and local anesthetic infiltration (LAI) are used for postoperative analgesia in pediatric laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair. However, whether the analgesic effect of RSB is superior to LAI remains unclear. The authors hypothesized that RSB would reduce opioid consumption in patients.

Mechanism of SET8 Activates the Nrf2-KEAP1-ARE Signaling Pathway to Promote the Recovery of Motor Function after Spinal Cord Injury.

Background: Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a common injury of the central nervous system (CNS), and astrocytes are relatively abundant glial cells in the CNS that impairs the recovery of motor function after SCI. It was confirmed that the oxidative stress of mitochondria leads to the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in cells, which plays a key role in the motor function of astrocytes. However, the mechanism by which oxidative stress affects astrocyte motility after SCI is still unexplained.

Effect of perioperative ultrasound guided fascia iliaca compartment block in elderly adults with hip fractures undergoing arthroplasty in spinal anesthesia-a randomized controlled trial.

Background: For elderly adults undergoing hip arthroplasty, fascia iliaca compartment block (FICB) is often used before spinal anesthesia to reduce the pain of posture placement. However, the impact of FICB within 48 h needs further study.

Methods: 89 elderly adults scheduled to undergo arthroplasty for hip fracture were enrolled and randomized into the FICB group (n = 45) and the control group (n = 44).

Big data mining, rational modification, and ancestral sequence reconstruction inferred multiple xylose isomerases for biorefinery.

The isomerization of xylose to xylulose is considered the most promising approach to initiate xylose bioconversion. Here, phylogeny-guided big data mining, rational modification, and ancestral sequence reconstruction strategies were implemented to explore new active xylose isomerases (XIs) for . Significantly, 13 new active XIs for were mined or artificially created.

Gallic Acid Improves Comorbid Chronic Pain and Depression Behaviors by Inhibiting P2X7 Receptor-Mediated Ferroptosis in the Spinal Cord of Rats.

Ferroptosis is an inflammatory programmed cell death process that is dependent on iron deposition and lipid peroxidation. The P2X7 receptor not only is involved in the pain process but also is closely related to the onset of depression. Gallic acid (3,4,5-trihydroxybenzoic acid), which is naturally found in a variety of plants, exhibits anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and analgesic effects.

Neohesperidin Alleviates the Neuropathic Pain Behavior of Rats by Downregulating the P2X4 Receptor.

Neuropathic pain (NP) is a type of chronic pain affecting 6-8% of human health as no effective drug exists. The purinergic 2X4 receptor (P2X4R) is involved in NP. Neohesperidin (NH) is a dihydroflavonoside compound, which has anti-inflammatory and antioxidative properties.

Pinocembrin Inhibits P2X4 Receptor-Mediated Pyroptosis in Hippocampus to Alleviate the Behaviours of Chronic Pain and Depression Comorbidity in Rats.

Neuroinflammation is critical to the comorbidity of chronic pain and depression. Pyroptosis is an inflammatory cell death that is different from apoptosis. Activation of the P2X4 receptor leads to inflammation and is involved in chronic pain and depression.

Comparison of LPS and MS-induced depressive mouse model: behavior, inflammation and biochemical changes.

Depression is a mental disease involving complex pathophysiological mechanisms, and there are many ways to establish depressive mouse models. The purpose of this study is to comprehensively compare the behavioral changes and its mechanism induced by two different models. This study established two depressive mouse models by maternal separation (MS) or lipopolysaccharide (LPS) administration, and added fluoxetine treatment group respectively for comparison.

Beneficial Effects of lncRNA-UC.360+ shRNA on Diabetic Cardiac Sympathetic Damage via NLRP3 Inflammasome-Induced Pyroptosis in Stellate Ganglion.

Hyperglycemia is one of the common symptoms of diabetes, and it produces excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS). This study investigated whether the long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) UC.360+ is involved in diabetic cardiac autonomic neuropathy (DCAN) mediated by NLRP3 inflammasome-induced pyroptosis in the stellate ganglion (SG).

Generating Daily Soil Moisture at 16 m Spatial Resolution Using a Spatiotemporal Fusion Model and Modified Perpendicular Drought Index.

Soil moisture (SM) is an important parameter in land surface processes and the global water cycle. Remote sensing technologies are widely used to produce global-scale SM products (e.g.

A novel fermentation strategy for efficient xylose utilization and microbial lipid production in lignocellulosic hydrolysate.

The sugar utilization efficiency and the tolerance of microorganism to inhibitors are essential for lipid production from lignocellulosic biomass. In this study, the sugar consumption and inhibitor tolerance characteristics of Trichosporon dermatis 32,903 were investigated. The results showed that the lipid yield on xylose was much lower than that on glucose, while these substrates exhibited comparative efficiency for cell growth.
