Background: Several preclinical studies have reported elevated levels of tau following the induction of chronic cerebral hypoperfusion (CCH) in Alzheimer's disease mouse models. The objective of this study was to first induce CCH in a mouse model of tauopathy over an extended period of up to 6 months and to subsequently investigate the effects of CCH on tau accumulation and alterations in the transcriptome.
Methods: Three-month-old P301S tauopathy mice were randomly allocated to either a Sham or CCH group. The common carotid arteries (CCAs) of the CCH group were bilaterally implanted using 0.75-mm inner diameter ameroid constrictors. Prior to surgery, Doppler ultrasound imaging was acquired, with follow-up imaging at 1, 3, and 6 months postoperatively. Brain tissue samples were obtained, and hemispheres were dissected and divided for separate analysis.
Result: No significant differences in phosphorylated and total tau protein levels were found in either Sham or CCH left cortical hemispheres or hippocampal lysates. Immunohistochemical staining of phosphorylated tau in the right hemisphere revealed similar findings. Compared with the Sham group, transcriptomic deconvolution revealed a significant reduction of memory B cells in the CCH group ( = 0.029).
Conclusion: To clarify the effects of chronic hypoperfusion on tau pathology, more than one surgical method of hypoperfusion should be used in future studies.

Rationale And Objectives: Accurate determination of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) expression is critical for guiding targeted therapy in breast cancer. This study aimed to develop and validate a deep learning (DL)-based decision-making visual biomarker system (DM-VBS) for predicting HER2 status using radiomics and DL features derived from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and mammography (MG).
Materials And Methods: Radiomics features were extracted from MRI, and DL features were derived from MG.

Purpose: Dupuytren contracture is a fibroproliferative disorder forming fascial cords in the hand. Collagenase clostridium histolyticum (CCH) is an alternative treatment to surgery. Current recommendations include nighttime extension orthosis after CCH for 4 months.

Ion pair formation is a fundamental concept in chemistry. The association between ions of opposite charge is widely used in synthesis and catalysis. In contrast, there is little evidence for the formation of cationic or anionic dimers in solution.

Multilineage-differentiating stress-enduring (Muse) cells are non-tumorigenic pluripotent- like stem cells that can migrate to damaged sites and contribute to tissue repair. Chronic cerebral hypoperfusion (CCH), which mimics vascular dementia, causes hippocampal neuronal degeneration and white matter (WM) damage, which lead to cognitive dysfunction. Currently, there are no effective treatments for it.
