Transcript and Lipid Profile Alterations in Astrocyte-Neuron Mitochondrial Transfer Under Lipopolysaccharide Exposure: An In Vitro Study.

Sepsis-associated encephalopathy (SAE) is a brain dysfunction for which no effective therapy currently exists. Recent studies suggest that transferring mitochondria from astrocytes to neurons may benefit SAE patients, though the underlying mechanism remains unclear. We cultured astrocytes and neurons from mice in vitro.

Enriched environment mitigates cognitive impairment in pre-adolescent mice following repeated neonatal sevoflurane exposure by reducing TTBK1 expression and Tau phosphorylation.

Enriched environment (EE) is a living setting that provides visual, olfactory, tactile, and cognitive stimulation and has demonstrated potential treatment results in neurodevelopmental diseases. We aimed to elucidate whether the neurodevelopmental toxicity of sevoflurane is linked to TTBK1 and Tau phosphorylation, as well as to evaluate the neuroprotective mechanism of EE on mice following sevoflurane exposure. Female mice were anesthetized at postnatal day 6 (P6) or P60 with 3% sevoflurane for 2 h daily for three days.

Molecular hydrogen reduces dermatitis-induced itch, diabetic itch and cholestatic itch by inhibiting spinal oxidative stress and synaptic plasticity via SIRT1-β-catenin pathway in mice.

Chronic itch which is primarily associated with dermatologic, systemic, or metabolic disorders is often refractory to most current antipruritic medications, thus highlighting the need for improved therapies. Oxidative damage is a novel determinant of spinal pruriceptive sensitization and synaptic plasticity. The resolution of oxidative insult by molecular hydrogen has been manifested.

Neuroprotective effects of testosterone on sevoflurane-induced neurotoxicity in testosterone-deprived male mice.

This study aims to investigate whether androgen deprivation, simulating conditions of aging or disease-induced low testosterone levels, increases the susceptibility of male mice to sevoflurane neurotoxicity, and whether testosterone supplementation can reverse the toxic effects of sevoflurane. In here, young male mice were subjected to orchiectomy (ORC) to induce testosterone deprivation. Various techniques, including western blotting, immunofluorescence, Morris Water Maze, Golgi staining, and neuronal signal measurement, were used to evaluate the effects of sevoflurane on long-term (ORC 10 weeks) and short-term (ORC 2 weeks) testosterone deprivation, and assess whether testosterone (1 mg/kg 1 h before sevoflurane exposure) could mitigate sevoflurane-induced neurotoxicity.

Alterations in hippocampal somatostatin interneurons, GABAergic metabolism, and ASL perfusion in an aged male mouse model of POCD aggravated by sleep fragmentation.

Sleep fragmentation (SF) is increasingly recognized as a contributing factor to postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD). Given the critical roles of somatostatin (SST) interneurons, associated gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)ergic neurotransmitters, and hippocampal perfusion in sleep-related cognition, this study examined changes in these mechanisms in preoperative SF affecting POCD induced by anesthesia/surgery in aged male mice. The Morris water maze (MWM), novel object recognition (NOR), and Y maze tests were utilized to evaluate POCD.

The best indices of anaesthesia depth monitored by electroencephalogram in different age groups.

Current electroencephalogram (EEG) indices for monitoring the depth of anaesthesia have not been adjusted for age. This study aims to identify the most suitable EEG indices for monitoring anaesthesia depth across different age groups. In here, we conducted a prospective observational trial to observe whether different EEG features in different age groups can detect anaesthesia depth and compare their performance.

ZIP7 contributes to the pathogenesis of diabetic cardiomyopathy by suppressing mitophagy in mouse hearts.

Background: Although the exact role of mitophagy in the pathogenesis of diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) caused by type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) remains controversial, recent studies revealed inhibition of mitophagy exacerbates cardiac injury in DCM. The zinc transporter ZIP7 has been reported to be upregulated by high glucose in cardiomyocytes and ZIP7 upregulation leads to inhibition of mitophagy in mouse hearts in the setting of ischemia/reperfusion. Nevertheless, little is known about the role of ZIP7 and its relationship with mitophagy in DCM caused by T2DM.

Natural hydrogen gas and engineered microalgae prevent acute lung injury in sepsis.

Background: Hydrogen gas and microalgae both exist in the natural environment. We aimed to integrate hydrogen gas and biology nano microalgae together to expand the treatment options in sepsis.

Methods: Phosphoproteomics, metabolomics and proteomics data were obtained from mice undergoing cecum ligation and puncture (CLP) and inhalation of hydrogen gas.

Highly Porous Co-Al Intermetallic Created by Thermal Explosion Using NaCl as a Space Retainer.

Co-Al porous materials were fabricated by thermal explosion (TE) reactions from Co and Al powders in a 1:1 ratio using NaCl as a space retainer. The effects of the NaCl content on the temperature profiles, phase structure, volume change, density, pore distribution and antioxidation behavior were investigated. The results showed that the sintered product of Co and Al powders was solely Co-Al intermetallic, while the final product was CoAl with an abundant Co phase and minor CoAl and Co-Al phases after added NaCl dissolved out, due to the high T and low T.

Synthesis of nimbolide and its analogues and their application as poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 trapping inducers.

Nimbolide, a ring seco-C limonoid natural product, was recently found to inhibit the poly(ADP)-ribosylation (PARylation)-dependent ubiquitin E3 ligase RNF114. In doing so, it induces the 'supertrapping' of both PARylated PARP1 and PAR-dependent DNA-repair factors. PARP1 inhibitors have reshaped the treatment of cancer patients with germline / mutations partly through the PARP1 trapping mechanism.

Increased opioid consumption in neoadjuvant immunotherapy plus chemotherapy for patients with non-small-cell lung cancer: A multicenter, prospective cohort study.

Aims: PD-1 block was reported to impair opioid-induced antinociception and affect cognitive function in rodents and non-human primates. This prospective multicenter cohort study aims to investigate the possible impact of neoadjuvant immunotherapy with PD-1 antibody on perioperative analgesic effect of opioids and postoperative delirium (POD) for non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients.

Methods: Eighty-four NSCLC patients from three medical centers with neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy (nCIT) or chemotherapy (nCT) were enrolled.

NIR-Remote Selectively Triggered Buprenorphine Hydrochloride Release from Microneedle Patches for the Treatment of Neuropathic Pain.

Neuropathic pain is a prevalent form of intermittent chronic pain, affecting approximately 7-10% of the global population. However, the current clinical administration methods, such as injection and oral administration, are mostly one-time administration, which cannot achieve accurate control of pain degree and drug dose. Herein, we developed near-infrared (NIR) light-responsive microneedle patches (MNPs) to spatiotemporally control the drug dose released to treat neuropathic pain according to the onset state.

Diagnostic and Prognostic Markers for Pancreatitis and Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma.

Diagnostic markers are desperately needed for the early detection of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA). We describe sets of markers expressed in temporal order in mouse models during pancreatitis, PDA initiation and progression. Cell type specificity and the differential expression of PDA markers were identified by screening single cell (sc) RNAseq from tumor samples of a mouse model for PDA (KIC) at early and late stages of PDA progression compared to that of a normal pancreas.

An in vitro study of coagulation evaluation in obstetric hemorrhage for pregnancy-induced hypertension with coagulation and platelet function analyzer.

This study aimed to establish in vitro hemodilution and resupplementation assays for obstetric hemorrhage in pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) and to monitor the coagulation function dynamically using a coagulation and platelet function analyzer. Forty-seven singleton pregnant women were divided into normal ( = 24) and PIH ( = 23) groups. Peripheral blood samples were used to construct the assays, and the activated clotting time (ACT), clotting rate (CR), and platelet function index (PF) were measured.

Euchromatin histone-lysine N-methyltransferase 2 regulates the expression of potassium-sodium-activated channel subfamily T member 1 in primary sensory neurons and contributes to remifentanil-induced pain sensitivity.

Intraoperative remifentanil administration has been linked to increased postoperative pain sensitivity. Recent studies have identified the involvement of euchromatic histone-lysine N-methyltransferase 2 (Ehmt2/G9a) in neuropathic pain associated with the transcriptional silencing of many potassium ion channel genes. This study investigates whether G9a regulates the potassium sodium-activated channel subfamily T member 1 (Slo2.

Preoperative recovery sleep ameliorates postoperative cognitive dysfunction aggravated by sleep fragmentation in aged mice by enhancing EEG delta-wave activity and LFP theta oscillation in hippocampal CA1.

Sleep fragmentation (SF) is a common sleep problem experienced during the perioperative period by older adults, and is associated with postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD). Increasing evidence indicates that delta-wave activity during non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep is involved in sleep-dependent memory consolidation and that hippocampal theta oscillations are related to spatial exploratory memory. Recovery sleep (RS), a self-regulated state of sleep homeostasis, enhances delta-wave power and memory performance in sleep-deprived older mice.

SfREPAT38, a pathogen response gene (REPAT), is involved in immune response of Spodoptera frugiperda larvae through mediating Toll signalling pathway.
