Nuclear factor of activated T cells 5 (NFAT5) has been implicated in regulating several genes that are thought to be neuroprotective in ischemic injury. Because of the embryonic lethality of NFAT5 knockout (NFAT5(-/-)) mice, the heterozygous (NFAT5(+/-)) mice were used to study the in vivo role of NFAT5 in hypoxia/ischemia (H/I) condition. The NFAT5(+/-) mice exhibited more severe neurological deficits, larger infarct area and edema formation associated with increased aquaporin 4 expressions in the brain. Under in vitro H/I condition, increased apoptotic cell death was found in NFAT5(-/-) neurons. Moreover, SMIT, a downstream to NFAT5, was upregulated in NFAT5(+/+) neurons, while the SMIT level could not be upregulated in NFAT5(-/-) neurons under H/I condition. The elevation of reactive oxygen species generation in NFAT5(-/-) neurons under H/I condition further confirmed that NFAT5(-/-) neurons were more susceptible to oxidative stress. The present study demonstrated that activation of NFAT5 and its downstream SMIT induction is important in protecting neurons from ischemia-induced oxidative stress.

Aims: Post stroke hyperglycemia has been shown to deter functional recovery. Earlier findings have indicated the cap-dependent translation regulator 4E-BP1 is detrimentally upregulated in hyperglycemic conditions. The present study aims to test the hypothesis that hyperglycemic ischemic reperfusion injury (I/R) affects normal protein translation poststroke.

Introduction: A harmonized clinical breakpoint for interpreting antimicrobial susceptibility testing of oxytetracycline in cattle is currently lacking in Europe. This study aimed to establish a pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) cutoff to propose clinical breakpoints, facilitating reliable interpretation of antimicrobial susceptibility results in cattle.
Methods: A meta-analysis of oxytetracycline pharmacokinetic data from 69 cattle was conducted, including 1,730 plasma concentration samples from animals administered 20 mg/kg intramuscularly and/or 20 or 40 mg/kg intravenously.

Background: A suitable diagnostic method can be beneficial owing to the high prevalence of myocardial infarction (MI) and structural changes that affect systolic and diastolic performance. In this systematic review, we focused on the possibility of using DTI instead of current methods such as cardiac biopsy, an invasive procedure.
Methods: Articles published in PubMed, Scopus, Embase, and Scholar electronic databases from 2010 to 2023 were reviewed using the determined keywords.

Background: Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) and Parkinson's disease (PD) are the most common neurodegenerative conditions. These central nervous system disorders impact both the structure and function of the brain and may lead to imaging changes that precede symptoms. Patients with ADRD or PD have long asymptomatic phases that exhibit significant heterogeneity.
