We investigated DNA methylation of in methamphetamine (METH) dependence in humans and an animal model. methylation at exon IV was determined by pyrosequencing of blood DNA from METH-dependent and control subjects, and from rat brain following an escalating dose of METH or vehicle. expression was determined in rat brain. methylation was increased in human METH dependence, greatest in subjects with psychosis and in prefrontal cortex of METH-administered rats; rat hippocampus showed reduced methylation and increased gene expression. methylation is abnormal in human METH dependence, especially METH-dependent psychosis, and in METH-administered rats. This may influence expression and contribute to the neurotoxic effects of METH exposure.

Methamphetamine (METH), a synthetic stimulant, has seen an escalating abuse situation globally over the past decade. Although the molecular mechanism underlying METH-induced neurotoxicity has been explored, the dysfunction of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) neuroprotection in the context of METH neurotoxicity remains insufficiently understood. Our previous studies have found that METH induced neurotoxicity and BDNF expression in rat primary neurons, necessitating further research into this paradox.

Theoretical and simulated analyses of selective homonuclear dipolar recoupling sequences serve as primary tools for understanding and determining the robustness of these sequences under various conditions. In this article, we investigate the recently proposed first-order dipolar recoupling sequence known as MODIST (Modest Offset Difference Internuclear Selective Transfer). We evaluate the MODIST transfer efficiency, assessing its dependence on rf-field strengths and the number of simulated spins, extending up to 10 spins.

Introduction: Recurrence after Giant Cell Tumour (GCT) treatment depends on the type of treatment used. Poly-Methyl-Meth-Acrylate (PMMA) after extended curettage provides structural support and allows for early identification of recurrence but carries a risk of thermal damage to the surrounding healthy tissue. The aim of this study was to compare long-term functional outcomes and complications in patients with GCT around the knee treated with extended curettage and bone grafting or cementation.

In recent years, methamphetamine (METH) misuse in the US has been rapidly increasing, and there is no FDA-approved pharmacotherapy for METH use disorder (MUD). In addition to being dependent on the drug, people with MUD develop a variety of neurological problems related to the toxicity of this drug. A variety of molecular mechanisms underlying METH neurotoxicity has been identified, including the dysfunction of the neuroprotective protein parkin.

Methamphetamine (meth) use disorder is part of an overarching use disorder that encompasses continued drug seeking and an increased risk of returning to drug use following periods of abstaining. Chronic meth use results in drug-induced cortical plasticity in the perirhinal cortex (PRC) that mediates responses to novelty. PRH projection targets are numerous and include the nucleus accumbens core (NAc).
