Twelve hooded rats with chronically implanted recording electrodes in the left ponto-mesencephalic trigeminal nuclei and parabrachial region and bipolar stimulating electrodes in the left upper incisor were investigated in different states of spontaneous behaviour. At all recording sites tooth pulp evoked potentials (TPEP) with the following main components were recorded: a small negative component with a peak time of N 2 ms, followed by a second negativity with the peak time of N 6 ms and a slow large positive-negative component with the peak time of N 28 ms. The corresponding positive peaks were: P 3 ms, P 13 ms, P 58 ms. In all rats we observed a great variability of TPEP components in different waking states. A maximal decrease of TPEPs was observed during strong grooming compared with relaxed wakefulness.

This study first proposes an innovative method for optimizing the maximum power extraction from photovoltaic (PV) systems during dynamic and static environmental conditions (DSEC) by applying the horse herd optimization algorithm (HHOA). The HHOA is a bio-inspired technique that mimics the motion cycles of an entire herd of horses. Next, the linear active disturbance rejection control (LADRC) was applied to monitor the HHOA's reference voltage output.

Magnetic nanoparticles of Nd2Fe14B prepared by ethanol-assisted wet ball milling technique.

Sci Rep

January 2025

Environmental and Occupational Hazards Control Research Center, Research Institute for Health Sciences and Environment, Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran.

The magnetic material Nd2Fe14B is one of the strongest magnetic materials found in nature. The demand for the production of these nanoparticles is significantly high due to their exceptional properties. The aim of the present study is to synthesize magnetic nanoparticles of Nd2Fe14B using ethanol in the wet ball milling technique (WBMT).

Background: Protein abundance levels, sensitive to both physiological changes and external interventions, are useful for assessing the Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk and treatment efficacy. However, identifying proteomic prognostic markers for AD is challenging by their high dimensionality and inherent correlations.

Methods: Our study analyzed 1128 plasma proteins, measured by the SOMAscan platform, from 858 participants 55 years and older (mean age 63 years, 52.

Sivelestat sodium protects against renal ischemia/reperfusion injury by reduction of NETs formation.

Arch Biochem Biophys

Electronic address:

Background: Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) often results in renal impairment. While the presence of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) is consistently observed, their specific impact on IRI is not yet defined. Sivelestat sodium, an inhibitor of neutrophil elastase which is crucial for NET formation, may offer a therapeutic approach to renal IRI, warranting further research.
