Stress-related illnesses are linked to the onset and progression of renal diseases and depressive disorders. To investigate stress-induced changes in the renal transcriptome associated with the development of depressive behaviors, we generated here a chronic social defeat stress (CSDS) model of C57 BL/6 male mice and then performed RNA sequencing of the kidneys to obtain an inflammation-related transcriptome. Administration of the antidepressant drug fluoxetine (10 mg·kg ·day ) during CSDS induction could partially alleviate renal inflammation and reverse CSDS-induced depression-like behaviors. Moreover, fluoxetine also modulated gene expression of stress-related hormone receptors, including prolactin and melanin-concentrating hormone. These results suggest that CSDS can induce gene expression changes associated with inflammation in the kidney of C57 BL/6 male mice, and this inflammation can be treated effectively by fluoxetine.

Background: Continuous electroacupuncture pre-conditioning (EPRC) and post-conditioning (EPOC) effectively improve motor dysfunction after acute cerebral ischemia, but they require multiple treatments. Recently, electroacupuncture per-conditioning (EPEC) has demonstrated neuroprotective effects, indicating that this single-session intervention has short-term efficacy.
Objective: To evaluate the effect of EPEC at Huantiao (GB30) on motor recovery in acute cerebral ischemia mice.

Schizophrenia is a chronic mental illness, with a prevalence of about 1%. The symptoms are classified in three categories: positive symptoms, negative symptoms and deficits in cognitive function. Regarding the pharmacological treatment, current antipsychotics mainly improve positive symptoms while negative and cognitive symptoms remain inadequately treated.

Objective: To investigate whether activation of mitochondrial acetal dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) alleviates hypoxic pulmonary hypertension by regulating the SIRT1/PGC-1α signaling pathway.
Methods: Thirty 8-week-old C57 BL/6 mice were randomized into control, hypoxia, and hypoxia +Alda-1 (an ALDH2 activator) group (=10), and the mice in the latter two groups, along with 10 ALDH2 knockout (ALDH2) mice, were exposed to hypoxia (10% O, 90% N) with or without daily intraperitoneal injection of Alda-1 for 4 weeks. The changes in right ventricular function and pressure (RVSP) of the mice were evaluated by echocardiography and right ventricular catheter test, and pulmonary artery pressure was estimated based on RVSP.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the neuroprotective effects of Schisandra Decoction (Sch D) in a mouse model of Parkinson's disease, focusing on the mTOR signaling pathway.
- Researchers tested 50 male C57 BL/6 mice, assigning them to various groups to evaluate motor function and neuroprotection through behavioral tests and biochemical analyses.
- Results show that Sch D treatment improved motor function and neuroprotection, reduced α-synuclein aggregation, and affected autophagy pathways, suggesting its potential benefits in Parkinson's disease management.

Research into the potential therapeutic benefits of herbal remedies for treating chronic kidney disease (CKD), a condition marked by renal fibrosis and persistent inflammation, has become popular. Eucommiae cortex (EC) is a vital herb for strengthening bones and muscles and tonifying the kidneys and liver. In the study, C57 BL/6 mice were given a diet containing 0.
