Structural changes in the rat hippocampus in response to chronic cerebrovascular disorders induced by gravity exposure in the caudocranial vector were studied. Qualitative and quantitative morphological analysis detected significant cytoarchitectonic changes in the pyramidal layer: spongiosis, manifest pericellular and perivascular edema, and a drastic increase in the counts of pyramidal neurons with signs of impairment in all hippocampal zones. The density of perikarya in the pyramidal layer decreased. Immunohistochemical study detected high expression of Beclin-1 in CA1 field. High expression of LAMP-2 was detected in CA4 field. Field CA2 was characterized by the maximum counts of damaged cells and high expression of Beclin-1 and LAMP-2.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a major metabolic disorder with no established pharmacotherapy. Quercetin, a polyphenolic flavonoid, demonstrates potential hepatoprotective effects but has limited bioavailability. This study evaluates the impact of quercetin on NAFLD and assesses the roles of autophagy-related proteins in disease progression.

Objectives: To deeply explore the mechanism of pachymic acid (PA) intervention in myocardial ischemia, providing new ideas and methods for the treatment of myocardial ischemia.

Methods: Predict the targets of PA for improving myocardial ischemia, and conduct functional enrichment analysis using databases, such as Gene Ontology, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes, and Reactome. To verify these findings, PPI network topology analysis and molecular docking were used to screen key targets and main mechanisms of action and further validated through in vitro experiments on the H9C2 cell line.

Mutations in the ANXA11 gene, encoding an RNA-binding protein, have been implicated in the pathogenesis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), but the underlying in vivo mechanisms remain unclear. This study examines the clinical features of ALS patients harboring the ANXA11 hotspot mutation p.P36R, characterized by late-onset motor neuron disease and occasional multi-system involvement.

(MS) is an important pathogen that can cause respiratory diseases in poultry and birds, leading to serious economic losses in the world and impacting the development of the poultry industry. However, the pathogenic mechanisms of MS infection are still unclear, resulting in a lack of effective diagnosis and treatment strategies. This study aimed to uncover the infection effect caused by MS in chicken oviduct cells.
