[IL-33 gene recombination and expression does not affect the phenotypic characteristics of rabies virus in vitro].

Objective To create a recombinant rabies virus overexpressing IL-33 and to clarify the effect of IL-33 overexpression on the phenotypic characteristics of recombinant virus in vitro. Methods The IL-33 gene was obtained and amplified from the brain of a highly virulent strain of rabies infected mouse. It was then inserted between the G and L genes of the parental virus LBNSE genome by reversing genetic manipulation and rescuing a recombinant virus overexpressing IL-33.

Inhibition of VDAC1 Rescues A -Induced Mitochondrial Dysfunction and Ferroptosis via Activation of AMPK and Wnt/-Catenin Pathways.

Beta-amyloid (A) accumulation in the brains of Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients leads to mitochondrial dysfunction and ferroptosis in neurons. Voltage-dependent anion channel 1 (VDAC1) is a major protein in the mitochondrial outer membrane. It has been reported that VDAC1 associated with mitochondrial dysfunction and ferroptosis.

Smart gelation of chitosan solution in the presence of NaHCO3 for injectable drug delivery system.

In situ gelling systems are attractive as injectable vehicles for drug delivery. The present work described a novel gelation process of acidic chitosan solution in the presence of sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO(3)). The NaHCO(3) concentration played an important role in this gelling system.

Anatomical variations of the upper thoracic sympathetic chain.

The aim is to clearly delineate the upper thoracic sympathetic chains and neural connections between the chains and ventral rami of the thoracic nerves, and to provide an anatomical foundation for successful upper thoracic sympathicotomy for treating upper essential hyperhidrosis. The upper thoracic sympathetic chains, upper five intercostal nerves, and neural connections between them in 50 halves of 25 adult cadavers have been dissected, measured, and mapped. The stellate ganglion had an incidence of 80%.
