AI Article Synopsis
- The study examines how exposure to loud noise affects ERK and GDNF levels in the brains of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) model rats, particularly in the temple and frontal lobes.
- Using various rat groups and methods like micro-injection and Western Blot analysis, the researchers assessed changes in these expressions after administering auditory stimuli.
- Results showed that while ERK expression in the frontal cortex remained unaffected by noise, it increased significantly in the temple; GDNF levels also varied, with a drop observed in the temple lobe of treated rats, indicating a complex response to noise exposure in AD conditions.
Article Abstract
Aim: To investigate the change of ERK, GDNF expression activity in temple and frontal lobe of AD rat after 96 dB wide band noise exposure.
Methods: Experimental group SD rats(weight from 150-220 g), either male or female, were randomly assigned to three groups: control (n=10); physiological brine-injected control (n=8); glutamic acid-injected group (n=8) after getting rid of memory loss(indicating "a little memory" and "no memory") rats culled by behavior training. The rats were micro-injected at the stereotaxic device (AP3.2-3.4, L2.0-2.4,H2.8-3.0)by glutamic acid or same volume of physiological brine in the each side of hippocampus CA1. Western Blot and image quantitative analysis technique, combined with auditory brainstem response (ABR) measurement.
Results: (1) Expressions of ERK in frontal cortex for control rat are much more than that of other group, which has a obvious up-regulation after being given 96 dB noise. Expression of ERK in temple cortex for 3 groups rat have a increase(plus noise), moreover, they are stronger than expression in frontal cortex for different group. (3) GDNF in frontal cortex for control rat have a higher expression than that of the same group before adding noise (up-regulation). (4) GDNF expression in temple lobe for glutamatic acid group have a remarkable down-regulation trend. (5) Expression of GDNF in frontal for control rat is much less than in temple.
Conclusion: ERK in frontal cortex for AD model rat have fewer expressions and not being affected by 96 dB noise, but it is reverse in temple. Wide band frequency noise can reduce the expression of GDNF in temple lobe of AD model rat.

The applause sign (AS) is a recognized phenomenon observed in progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) and other neurological conditions where individuals produce over three claps following a request to clap only thrice after a demonstration. In this study, we introduced a novel linguistic phenomenon termed the oral applause sign (OAS) associated with the AS. The OAS is characterized by increased repetition counts of Japanese repetitive onomatopoeic words, such as uttering "pata-pata-pata" instead of the expected "pata-pata.

This case report presents a complex medical scenario involving early 60s female patient with a history of chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) complicated by Evans syndrome, characterised by autoimmune haemolytic anaemia and immune thrombocytopenia. The patient had received various treatments, including steroids, rituximab, cyclosporine and acalabrutinib. The patient's neurological symptoms began around 3 years prior to presentation, with shaking of her right leg, followed by shaking of both hands, particularly the left hand.

Depression is a common and complex neuropsychiatric disorder affecting people of all ages worldwide, associated with high rates of relapse and disability. Neohesperidin (NEO) is a dietary flavonoid with applications in therapeutics; however, its effects on depressive-like behavior remain unknown. Here, we evaluated the effects of NEO on depressive-like behavior induced by chronic and unpredictable mild stress (CUMS).

The negative impact of repeated-mild traumatic brain injury (rmTBI) is profoundly seen in circadian-disrupted individuals. The unrelenting inflammation, glial activation, and gut dysbiosis are key neuropathological aberrations in the aftermath of rmTBI. In this study, we examined the impact of chitosan lactate (CL) on circadian disturbance (CD) + rmTBI-generated neurological dysfunctions and its prebiotic response on the gut-brain axis.

Background: Glial cells exhibit distinct transcriptional responses to β-amyloid pathology in Alzheimer's disease (AD). While sophisticated single-cell based methods have revealed heterogeneous glial subpopulations in the human AD brain, the histological localization of these multicellular responses to AD pathology has not been fully characterized due to the loss of spatial information. Here, we combined spatial transcriptomics (ST) with immunohistochemistry to explore the molecular mechanisms in the neuritic plaque niche.
