The unpredictable complexities in hydrocephalus shunt outcomes may be related to the recovery behavior of brain tissue after shunting. The simulated cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) velocity and intracranial pressure (ICP) over 15 months after shunting were validated by experimental data. The mean strain and creep of the brain had notable changes after shunting and their trends were monotonic. The highest stiffness of the hydrocephalic brain was in the first consolidation phase (between pre-shunting to 1 month after shunting). The viscous component overcame and damped the input load in the third consolidation phase (after the fifteenth month) and changes in brain volume were stopped. The long-intracranial elastance (long-IE) changed oscillatory after shunting and there was not a linear relationship between long-IE and ICP. We showed the long-term effect of the viscous component on brain recovery behavior of hydrocephalic brain. The results shed light on the brain recovery mechanism after shunting and the mechanisms for shunt failure.

Resolvin D1 combined with exercise rehabilitation alleviates neurological injury in mice with intracranial hemorrhage via the BDNF/TrkB/PI3K/AKT pathway.

Resolvin D1 (RvD1) is an endogenous anti-inflammatory mediator that modulates the inflammatory response and promotes inflammation resolution. RvD1 has demonstrated neuroprotective effects in various central nervous system contexts; however, its role in the pathophysiological processes of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and the potential protective mechanisms when combined with exercise rehabilitation remain unclear. A mouse model of ICH was established using collagenase, and treatment with RvD1 combined with three weeks of exercise rehabilitation significantly improved neurological deficits, muscle strength, learning, and memory in ICH mice while reducing anxiety-like behavior.

The application of classic foaming agent faces several issues, including excessive use of defoaming agent, inadequate defoaming, pipeline blockage due to silicone oil precipitation, and high development cost of the foaming agent. To address the aforementioned issues, a novel intelligent foaming agent was created. This resulted in the development of a new intelligent foaming and discharging agent system.

Addressing the need to harmonize environment conservation and sustainable economic development within the Yellow River Basin (YRB) requires a profound comprehension of the spatiotemporal dynamics of urban ecosystem resilience. This study developed an index system utilizing the resistance-adaptability-recovery framework to measure these dynamics. By applying the advanced multi-attribute boundary area comparison method and a spatial autocorrelation model, we investigated the spatiotemporal variations and spatial correlation patterns of urban ecological resilience across the YRB.

Amblyopia affects more than visual acuity. To compare the performances of visual selective attention and numerical processing in children with anisometropic amblyopia and children with normal vision, and investigate whether performance would be improved after visual acuity recovery, we performed 3 visual attention tasks (identifying number location task, numerical comparison task, and specific number comparison task) in children with anisometropic amblyopia, children who had recovered from anisometropic amblyopia, and children with normal vision in 6-8 and 9-11 years groups. The numerical processing ability, visual selective attention, and numerical distance effect were assessed by their reaction time of different tasks.
