Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) is a common complication following surgeries involving general anesthesia. Although the CCL5-CCR5 axis is implicated in various neurological conditions, its role in POCD remains unclear. In our POCD model, we observed an increase in CCL5 and CCR5 levels concurrent with microglial activation and significant upregulation of inflammatory cytokines IL-6 and IL-1β.

- Lem. A. C. Smith is a medicinal plant from southern China with various pharmacological properties, but little is known about the diseases affecting it.
- During the summer of 2023, a survey revealed significant symptoms of biotic disorders like leaf and shoot blight, with disease incidences up to 28%.
- Pathogen isolation from infected tissues led to the growth of 71 similar colonies, and the genomic DNA of 10 selected isolates was analyzed for molecular characterization using specific gene sequencing techniques.
Research has revealed that prolonged or repeated exposure to isoflurane, a common general anesthetic, can lead to cognitive and behavioral deficiencies, particularly in early life. The brain contains a wealth of LanCL1, an antioxidant enzyme that is thought to mitigate oxidative stress. Nevertheless, its precise function in mammals remains uncertain.
