Typological characteristics of behavior were studied in rats bred for enhancement (PM+) and absence (PM-) of pendulum movements. Excitement in different test situations was manifest in PM+ rats, whereas passive defensive reactions were characteristic of PM- rats. Increased excitability of PM+ rats was expressed in their greater predisposition to audiogenic epilepsy (83% in PM+ versus 40% in PM- rats). On the contrary, PM- rats were found to be more prone to freezing (61% in PV- versus 11% in PM+). In PM+ rats, noradrenaline and serotonin contents were decreased in hypothalamus (as compared to PM- and control Wistar stain), whereas in PM- rats, serotonin content was increased in striatum, hypothalamus and midbrain as compared to control strains.

The cardiovascular risks linked to PM include calcification in both vasculature and myocardial tissues, leading to structural changes and functional decline. Through the selection of a clinically proven endogenous agent, sodium thiosulfate (STS), capable of addressing PM related cardiac abnormalities, we not only address the absence of effective solutions to mitigate PM toxicity, but also provide evidence for the repurposing potential of STS in ameliorating PM induced cardiac damage. Female Wistar rats were exposed to PM (250 μg/m) for 3 h daily for 21 days.

Particulate matter (PM) is a major component of ambient air pollution. PM exposure is linked to numerous adverse health effects, including chronic lung diseases. Air quality guidelines designed to regulate levels of ambient PM are currently based on the mass concentration of different particle sizes, independent of their origin and chemical composition.

Scientific evidence indicates that light in the visible and near-infrared spectrum can modulate mitochondrial activity, a phenomenon known in medicine as photobiomodulation therapy (PBM-t). The beneficial effects of PBM-t on dementia and neurodegeneration have been reviewed in the literature.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a frequent chronic illness in orthopedics that poses a major hazard to patient health. cell therapy is emerging as a therapeutic option, but its efficacy is influenced by both the inflammatory milieu and the amount of stem cells, limiting its use. In this study, we designed a novel injectable porous microsphere (PM) based on microfluidic technology that can support mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) therapy by combining polylactic-glycolic acid copolymer, kartogenin, polydopamine, stromal cell-derived factor-1, and copper-doped bioactive glass (CuBG).

Orexin-A (OXA), a neuropeptide produced in the hypothalamus, is recognized for its role in modulating orofacial nociception and regulating feeding behaviors, as well as its impact on psychophysiological responses. This study investigated the role of orexin-1 receptors (OX1R) in modulating nociceptive behaviors induced by noxious stimulation of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and the associated changes in mood and feeding behaviors in rats with complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA)-induced temporomandibular disorders (TMDs). Bilateral cannulation of the lateral ventricles was performed in rats.
