Background: Post-resuscitation reperfusion following hypoxic-ischemia (HIE) is associated with secondary brain injury in neonates.
Objective: To quantify the association between perfusion exceeding autoregulatory limits and brain injury.
Approach: Continuous mean arterial blood pressure (MABP) and cerebral near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) data were prospectively collected from infants with HIE. Cerebral oximetry index (COx) was calculated as a moving correlation coefficient between MABP and NIRS. Upper and lower limits of autoregulation were identified by transition from negative to positive correlation. The proportion of time MABP above (hyperperfusion) and below (hypoperfusion) autoregulatory limits was calculated during therapeutic hypothermia (days 1-3).
Main Results: Sixteen infants were included; injury was noted in 7/16. There was no significance in hyperperfusion burden between injured and uninjured infants during day one (7% versus 10%, p = 0.88) or two (4% versus 2%, p = 0.88), but there was a marked increase for injured infants on day three (54% versus 14%, p = 0.02). There was a corollary decrease in hypoperfusion for injured versus uninjured infants on day 3 (6% versus 24%, p = 0.05).
Significance: HIE infants with brain injury have a late failure of cerebral autoregulation, manifested as a hyperperfusion burden, suggesting pathologic events are active on day 3 of hypothermia. This finding may help to identify infants which might need additional neuroprotection.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a risk factor for neurodegeneration, however little is known about how this kind of injury alters neuron subtypes. In this study, we follow neuronal populations over time after a single mild TBI (mTBI) to assess long ranging consequences of injury at the level of single, transcriptionally defined neuronal classes. We find that the stress-responsive Activating Transcription Factor 3 (ATF3) defines a population of cortical neurons after mTBI.

Axons in the mammalian brain show significant diversity in myelination motifs, displaying spatial heterogeneity in sheathing along individual axons and across brain regions. However, its impact on neural signaling and susceptibility to injury remains poorly understood. To address this, we leveraged cable theory and developed model axons replicating the myelin sheath distributions observed experimentally in different regions of the mouse central nervous system.

Preclinical and clinical studies have established that autoreactive immunoglobulin G (IgG) can drive neuropathic pain. We recently demonstrated that sciatic nerve chronic constriction injury (CCI) in male and female mice results in the production of pronociceptive IgG, which accumulates around the lumbar region, including within the dorsal root ganglia (DRG) and spinal cord, facilitating the development of neuropathic pain. These data raise the intriguing possibility that neuropathic pain may be alleviated by reducing the accumulation of IgG.

Background: The hypobaric hypoxic atmosphere can cause adverse reactions or sickness. The purpose of this study was to explore the preventive effect and mechanism of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs) on acute pathological injury in mice exposed to high-altitude.
Methods: We pretreated C57BL/6 mice with hUC-MSCs via the tail vein injection, and then the mice were subjected to hypobaric hypoxic conditions for five days.

Diabetes mellitus (DM), a chronic metabolic disorder that adversely affects the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and microglial function in the central nervous system (CNS), contributing to neuronal damage and neurodegenerative diseases. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms linking diabetes to BBB dysfunction and microglial dysregulation remain poorly understood. Here, we assessed the impacts of diabetes on BBB and microglial reactivity and investigated its mechanisms.
