Status epilepticus is linked to cognitive decline due to damage to the hippocampus, a key structure involved in cognition. The hippocampus's high vulnerability to epilepsy-related damage is the main reason for this impairment. Convulsive seizures, such as those observed in status epilepticus, can cause various hippocampal pathologies, including inflammation, abnormal neurogenesis, and neuronal death.

Disturbances in the brain fluid balance can lead to life-threatening elevation in intracranial pressure (ICP), which represents a vast clinical challenge. Targeted and efficient pharmaceutical therapy of elevated ICP is not currently available, as the molecular mechanisms governing cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) secretion are largely unresolved. To resolve the quantitative contribution of key choroid plexus transport proteins, this study employs mice with genetic knockout and/or viral choroid plexus-specific knockdown of aquaporin 1 (AQP1) and the Na, K, 2Cl cotransporter 1 (NKCC1) for in vivo determinations of CSF dynamics, ex vivo choroid plexus for transporter-mediated clearance of a CSF K load, and patient CSF for [K] quantification.

The intestinal absorption of essential nutrients, especially those not readily biosynthesized, is a critical physiological process for maintaining homeostasis. Numerous studies have indicated that intestinal absorption is mediated by various membrane transporters. Citrate, a crucial bioactive compound produced as an intermediate in the Krebs cycle, is absorbed in the small intestine through carrier-mediated systems because of its high hydrophilicity.

Background: Hydrocephalus is characterized by secretion, circulation, and absorption disorder of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) with high morbidity and complication rate. The relationship between inflammation and abnormal secretion of CSF by choroid plexus epithelium (CPE) had received more attention. In this study, we aim to detect the role of Toll-like receptor 4/nuclear factor-kappa B/Na+/K+/2Cl-cotransporter 1(TLR4/NF-κB/NKCC1) signal pathway in the development of hydrocephalus.
