Background: Hypoxia inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) regulates glucose metabolism during ischemia. This study investigated the effect of recombinant adenovirus HIF-1ɑ on neurological function and energy metabolism in a rat cerebral ischemia-reperfusion model.
Methods: Rats were divided into four groups: sham-operated (Sham) group, cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (CIR) group, recombinant adenovirus empty vector (Ad) group, and recombinant adenovirus-mediated HIF-1α (AdHIF-1α) group. The AdHIF-1α group and the Ad group were injected with AdHIF-1α and Ad in the lateral ventricle. The mNSS was performed at post-ischemia day 0 (P0) and P1, P14 and P28. At P14, the cerebral infarct volume was compared. At P28, HE staining, Nissl stains and TUNEL staining were performed. The expression of HIF-1α, GLUT1 and PFKFB3 were evaluated by Western Blot and immunohistochemistry. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used to determine the expression of GLUT1 and PFKFB3, and the level of energy metabolites: ATP, ADP and AMP.
Results: mNSS scores in the AdHIF-1α group were consistently lower than those in the CIR and Ad groups from P14 (P < 0.05) and Ad groups (P < 0.05). The cerebral infarct volume was reduced in the AdHIF-1α group compared with that in CIR group and Ad group (P < 0.05). At P28, HE showed better pathological changes in AdHIF-1α group. The number of Nissl bodies was increased in the AdHIF-1α group compared with the CIR and Ad groups (P < 0.05). The number of apoptotic cells in the AdHIF-1α group was fewer than that in the CIR and Ad groups (P < 0.05). The expression of HIF-1α, GLUT1 and PFKFB3 was significantly higher in the AdHIF-1α group compared with the CIR and Ad groups (P < 0.05). The ATP, ADP and AMP in the ischemic penumbra were also higher in the AdHIF-1α group (P < 0.05).
Conclusion: HIF-lα promoted neurological function recovery and decreased cerebral infarct volume in rats after cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury by improving energy metabolism.

Silver nanowire (Ag NW)-based elastic conductors have been considered a promising candidate for key stretchable electrodes in wearable devices. However, the weak interface interaction of Ag NWs and elastic substrates leads to poor durability of electronic devices. For everyday usage, an additional self-healing ability is required to resist scratching and damage.

Mismatched electron and proton transport rates impede the manifestation of effective performance of the electrocatalytic oxygen evolution reaction (OER), thereby limiting its industrial applications. Inspired by the natural protein cluster in PS-II, different organic-inorganic hybrid electrocatalysts were synthesized via a hydrothermal method. -Toluidine (PT), benzoic acid (BA), and -aminobenzoic acid (PABA) were successfully intercalated into NiFe-LDH.

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer in the United Kingdom and the second largest cause of cancer death.
Aim: To develop and validate a model using available information at the time of faecal immunochemical testing (FIT) in primary care to improve selection of symptomatic patients for CRC investigations.
Methods: We included all adults (≥ 18 years) referred to Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust between 2018 and 2022 with symptoms of suspected CRC who had a FIT.

Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) induces an imbalance in T helper (Th) 17/regulatory T (Treg) cells that contributes to of the dysregulation of inflammation. Exercise training can modulate the immune response in healthy subjects.
Objective: We aimed to evaluate the effects of exercise training on Th17/Treg responses and the differentiation of Treg phenotypes in individuals with COPD.
