Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the neurobiological factors that make individuals susceptible to fatigue after a mild COVID-19 infection, aiming to understand the link between brain structure and post-COVID neuropsychiatric symptoms.
  • Researchers used neuropsychiatric assessments and MRI scans on individuals who had COVID-19 and a control group to analyze brain regions related to fatigue.
  • Results indicate that specific brain areas, particularly the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, are linked to fatigue severity and can predict ongoing fatigue symptoms months after the infection, shedding light on the neural underpinnings of post-COVID conditions.

Clinical and basic studies have indicated that upper cervical spinal cord stimulation (cSCS) significantly increases cerebral blood flow (CBF), but the mechanisms are incompletely understood. This investigation was conducted to differentiate between stimulation of dorsal column fibers and upper cervical spinal cord cell bodies in cSCS-induced increases in CBF and decreases in cerebrovascular resistance (CVR). cSCS (50 Hz, 0.

Aim: To study the effects of microcirculation disturbance (MD) on rats with acute severe pancreatitis (ASP).

Methods: We developed ASP rat models, and anatomized separately after 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9 h. We took out blood and did hemorrheologic examination and erythrocyte osmotic fragility test, checked up the water content, capillary permeability, and genetic expression of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) in lung tissues, examined the apoptosis degree of blood vessel endothelium while we tested related gene expression of Bax and Bcl-2 in lung tissues.

Aim: To observe effects of ACOL on fibrinogen (FIB), fibrin degrading products (FDP) and changes of FIB and FDP concentration in rabbits with intro-abdominal exudates during 7 d after major abdominal surgery.

Methods: Sixty New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into 4 groups: ACOL group, the control group, DCT group and the normal group. After being modeled, except the normal group, the other 3 groups were treated with different ways for a week; the intro-abdominal exudates of rabbits in the 4 groups were drawn for FIB and FDP measurement once daily during 7 d after major abdominal surgery.
