文摘Germinal matrix hemorrhage in preterm neonates often leads to white matter injury,contributing to long-term neurodevelopmental impairments.As resident brain immune cells,microglia play a complex role in injury response,including inflammation and repair.Although colony-stimulating factor 1 receptor inhibitors such as PLX5622 enable the selective depletion of microglia,their therapeutic potential in neonatal germinal matrix hemorrhage remains underexplored.Here,we used a collagenase-induced germinal matrix hemorrhage model in postnatal day 5 mice,and intraperitoneally administered PLX562272 hours post-germinal matrix hemorrhage to achieve targeted,temporary microglial depletion during the peak injury response.We then assessed the effects of this delayed intervention on oligodendrocyte lineage cell maturation,white matter integrity,and neurobehavioral outcomes.Additionally,RNA sequencing data from a germinal matrix hemorrhage rat model were analyzed using weighted gene co-expression network analysis to identify the critical phases for interventions.RNA sequencing data revealed a critical period in which key synaptic functions declined while immune responses intensified post-germinal matrix hemorrhage,thus pinpointing the critical response phases for potential interventions.Delayed PLX5622 treatment effectively depleted activated microglia,protecting against white matter injury and enhancing oligodendrocyte lineage cell maturation and myelination in subcortical white matter regions.Moreover,magnetic resonance imaging analysis revealed reduced brain lesion volumes in treated mice.Behaviorally,PLX5622-treated mice exhibited significant improvements in motor coordination and reduced hyperactivity compared with vehicle-treated germinal matrix hemorrhage model mice.These findings suggest that,when timed to avoid interference with initial oligodendrocyte lineage cell proliferation,targeted microglial depletion with PLX5622 significantly mitigates white matter damage and improves neurobehavioral outcomes in neonatal germinal matrix hemorrhage.The present study highlights the therapeutic potential of selectively modulating microglial reactivity to support neurodevelopment in preterm infants with brain injury.

文摘White matter injury is a key factor impacting stroke recovery.Physical exercise can promote white matter repair.Immune cells,especially regulatory T(Treg)cells,contribute to strengthening white matter integrity,yet little is known about the underlying mechanism.To examine this,we established a transient middle cerebral artery occlusion male mouse model.We found that physical exercise elevated brain Treg cells,thereby enhancing neurological recovery,reducing neuroinflammation,promoting myelin debris clearance,and accelerating white matter repair.Depletion of Treg cells caused a decrease in these positive effects of physical exercise.Mechanistically,the rise in osteopontin triggered by physical exercise is dampened when Treg cells are depleted.In addition,Treg-conditioned medium reduced oxygen-glucose deprivation/re-oxygenation-induced microglial inflammation and enhanced phagocytosis,which could be blocked by osteopontin antibodies.Importantly,although Treg infusion could mimic the protective effects of physical exercise,osteopontin blockade partially countered the effects of physical exercise and Treg cells.Finally,our sequencing data revealed a marked upregulation of C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 12(CXCL12)mRNA expression subsequent to physical exercise,which was confirmed at the protein level.Stimulation of Treg cells with stroke brain lysates increased C-X-C motif chemokine receptor 4(CXCR4)expression,indicating a potential role for the CXCL12-CXCR4 axis in recruiting Treg cells.These findings suggest that physical exercise promotes white matter repair after ischemic stroke by Treg cells.

文摘The inter-related pathological cascades following a traumatic spinal cord injury(tSCI)disrupt multiple cell types and physiological processes.Subsequently,motor and sensory functions are disrupted by breakdowns in cellular interactions and circuitry.Therapeutic interventions seek to modify some aspects of the injury course to enable the re-establishment of functional circuitry.Interventions often target one cell type(e.g.,promoting neuroprotection or neural regeneration)or one process(e.g.,modulating inflammation,affecting astrocytic,microglial,or macrophage responses.)Many axons in the spinal cord are myelinated,and after injury oligodendrocyte death causes demyelination.Promoting remyelination of spared or new axons to re-establish conduction seems a logical choice as a therapeutic target.

文摘Many complex systems are frequently subject to the influence of uncertain disturbances,which can exert a profound effect on the critical transitions(CTs),potentially resulting in catastrophic consequences.Consequently,it is of uttermost importance to provide warnings for noise-induced CTs in various applications.Although capturing certain generic symptoms of transition behaviors from observational and simulated data poses a challenging problem,this work attempts to extract information regarding CTs from simulated data of a Gaussian white noise-induced tri-stable system.Using the extended dynamic mode decomposition(EDMD)algorithm,we initially obtain finite-dimensional approximations of both the stochastic Koopman operator and the generator.Subsequently,the drift parameters and the noise intensity within the system are identified from the simulated data.Utilizing the identified system,the parameter-dependent basin of the unsafe regime(PDBUR)is quantified,enabling data-driven early warning of Gaussian white noise-induced CTs.Finally,an error analysis is carried out to verify the effectiveness of the data-driven results.Our findings may serve as a paradigm for understanding and predicting noise-induced CTs in complex systems based on data.

文摘Recent evidence suggests that ferroptosis plays a crucial role in the occurrence and development of white matter lesions.However,the mechanisms and regulatory pathways involved in ferroptosis within white matter lesions remain unclear.Long non-coding RNAs(lnc RNAs)have been shown to influence the occurrence and development of these lesions.We previously identified lnc_011797 as a biomarker of white matter lesions by high-throughput sequencing.To investigate the mechanism by which lnc_011797 regulates white matter lesions,we established subjected human umbilical vein endothelial cells to oxygenglucose deprivation to simulate conditions associated with white matter lesions.The cells were transfected with lnc_011797 overexpression or knockdown lentiviruses.Our findings indicate that lnc_011797 promoted ferroptosis in these cells,leading to the formation of white matter lesions.Furthermore,lnc_011797 functioned as a competitive endogenous RNA(ce RNA)for mi R-193b-3p,thereby regulating the expression of WNK1 and its downstream ferroptosis-related proteins.To validate the role of lnc_011797 in vivo,we established a mouse model of white matter lesions through bilateral common carotid artery stenosis.The results from this model confirmed that lnc_011797 regulates ferroptosis via WNK1 and promotes the development of white matter lesions.These findings clarify the mechanism by which lnc RNAs regulate white matter lesions,providing a new target for the diagnosis and treatment of white matter lesions.

文摘Some patients with systemic lupus erythematosus experience neuropsychiatric symptoms.Although magnetic resonance imaging can detect abnormal signals in the white matter of the brain,conventional methods often struggle to accurately capture microstructural changes.Various diffusion models have been used to study white matter in systemic lupus erythematosus;however,comparative analyses of their sensitivity and specificity for detecting microstructural changes remain insufficient.To address this,our team designed a diagnostic trial that used multimodal diffusion imaging techniques to observe white matter microstructural changes in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus who had neuropsychiatric symptoms,with an aim to identify key diagnostic biomarkers for these patients.Patients with active lupus who received treatment at the Department of Rheumatology and Immunology,The First Affiliated Hospital of China Medical University,from September 2023 to March 2024 were recruited.According to the standards of the American College of Rheumatology,patients with systemic lupus erythematosus who had neuropsychiatric symptoms were assigned to the systemic lupus erythematosus group,whereas those without neuropsychiatric symptoms were assigned to the non-systemic lupus erythematosus group.Additionally,healthy volunteers matched by region,sex,and age were recruited as controls.All three groups underwent the same diffusion magnetic resonance imaging examination protocol to compare differences in diffusion parameters.Advanced diffusion imaging models were able to sensitively detect microstructural changes in the white matter fibers of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus who had neuropsychiatric symptoms,with specific diffusion parameters showing significant abnormalities in key brain regions.In the left superior longitudinal fasciculus subregion and the right thalamic radiations of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus who had neuropsychiatric symptoms,we also identified abnormal diffusion characteristics that were clearly correlated with disease activity,suggesting that microstructural changes in these areas may reflect the dynamic process of neuroinflammatory damage.The present study addresses critical challenges in the diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus by identifying specific white matter imaging biomarkers and elucidating the association between microstructural damage and clinical manifestations.The main contributions of our study include:1)establishing axial regression probability parameters from mean apparent propagator magnetic resonance imaging as sensitive biomarkers for systemic lupus erythematosus,particularly in the third subregion of the left superior longitudinal fasciculus;2)demonstrating that multimodal diffusion imaging may be superior to conventional diffusion tensor imaging for detecting white matter microstructural abnormalities in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus;and 3)integrating tract-based spatial statistics with clinically relevant analyses to link imaging findings to pathological mechanisms.
文摘Multiple evanescent white dot syndrome(MEWDS)is an inflammatory fundus disease primarily affecting the outer retina.It is characterized by transient yellow-white dots on the outer retina.Although the exact pathogenesis remains unclear,the progress in multimodal imaging(MMI)has enhanced our understanding of MEWDS.Most cases of MEWDS are idiopathic,lacking a definite cause,and can spontaneously recover;these are what we term classic MEWDS.Consequently,MEWDS is often referred to as the“common cold of the retina”.Simultaneously,patients with other disorders may present with varying degrees of manifestations similar to MEWDS.The resemblance in clinical or imaging findings can lead to misdiagnosis and inappropriate treatment.These MEWDS-like presentations are actually caused by other systemic or ocular disorders with diverse mechanisms.Thus,they differ from classic MEWDS in certain aspects.Using the keywords“MEWDSlike”and“Secondary MEWDS”,we searched for all relevant studies published in the PubMed database from January 2021 to January 2024.Subsequently,we retrospectively summarized the clinical and imaging characteristics of MEWDS,along with the manifestations in other diseases that resembled those of MEWDS,and compared classic MEWDS with these similar presentations.Based on our review,we classified such similar presentations under other conditions into two categories and summarized their features for differential diagnosis.We recommend paying close attention to patients suspected of having MEWDS,as there may be more serious systemic or ocular disorders that require prompt treatment.

文摘Objective This study aimed to evaluate the relationships of white blood cell(WBC)count,platelet(PLT)count,and PLT-to-WBC ratio(PWR)with muscle mass in Chinese older adults.Methods This cross-sectional analysis involved 4,033 Chinese older adults aged≥65 years from the Healthy Ageing and Biomarkers Cohort Study.Muscle mass and total skeletal muscle mass index(TSMI)were measured by bioelectric impedance analysis.WBC,PLT,and PWR were measured using standard methods.Multivariate linear regression was used to examine the associations of WBC count,PLT count,and PWR with TSMI.Results High WBC count,PLT count,and PWR were associated with low TSMI,with coefficients of-0.0091(95%confidence interval[CI]:-0.0142 to-0.0041),-0.0119(95%CI:-0.0170 to-0.0068),and-0.0051(95%CI:-0.0102 to-0.0001).The associations between the three inflammatory indices and TSMI were linear.Stratified analyses indicated that the relationship between inflammatory markers and TSMI was more evident in male participants and in individuals aged<80 years than in their counterparts.Conclusion Elevated WBC count,PLT count,and PWR correlated with muscle mass loss.This study highlights the importance of regular monitoring of inflammatory markers as a potential strategy for the screening and management of sarcopenia in older adults.

文摘This study examined the effect of dietary serine(Ser)on egg white quality,ovomucin content of laying hens fed low-gossypol cottonseed meal(LCSM)-based diet and sought to explore the regulatory mechanism underlying the effects.A total of 288 Hy-Line Brown layers were randomly assigned into 3 treatments and respectively offered soybean meal(SBM)-based diet,LCSM-based diet,and LCSM-based diet supplemented with 0.435%L-Ser.Dietary Ser supplementation reversed the decrease in quality indices of albumen,including the proportion of thick albumen(P<0.05),thick-to-thin ratio(P<0.05),albumen height(P<0.05),Haugh unit(P<0.05),and apparent viscosity that were caused by LCSM intake.Also,dietary Ser supplementation mitigated the LCSM-induced reduction in ovomucin content of the albumen(P<0.05).FT-IR analysis of ovomucin revealed differences in second derivative spectra at 1,200-800 cm^(-1) between birds received SBM-and LCSM-based diets,meanwhile,the α-helix of ovomucin was decreased by LCSM but increased by Ser addition(P<0.05).Furthermore,Ser addition up-regulated the mRNA expression of β-ovomucin in magnum mucosa at 2 and 7.5 h post-oviposition(P<0.05).Ser mitigated the LCSMinduced impairment of magnum epithelium,increased goblet cell counts(P<0.05),and up-regulated the expression of occludin,mucin 2,and the relevant glycosyltransferases for O-glycosylation in magnum mucosa(P<0.05).Conclusively,the alleviating effect of Ser on declining albumen quality due to dietary LCSM,could be explained by the efficacy of Ser in regulating ovomucin synthesis.This regulation occurred at the levels of transcription and posttranscriptional O-glycosylation modification ofβ-ovomucin,while positive effect on magnum morphology and barrier function could also in part account for the ovomucin content.This would provide a promising research direction on the adoption of nutritional interventions for manipulation of egg white quality from perspectives of albumen protein synthesis.

文摘Inorganic lead-free double perovskites have the advantages of low toxicity,broadband emission,and good stability,which make them promising luminescent materials for lighting applications.However,due to the limited regulation of their self-trapped exciton emission,it is still greatly challenging to achieve white light emitting from a single double perovskite host.Herein,efficient and tunable white light is realized in Cs_(2)NalnCl_(6)∶Sb^(3+),Tb^(3+),Sm^(3+)double perovskite by controlling the ratios of the doped three ions with blue,green,and red emissions,respectively.The steady-state and transient fluorescence spectra of singly-and doubly-doped double perovskites reveal the existence of multiple energy transfer channels in the triply-doped phosphors,including from Sb^(3+)to Tb^(3+),Sb^(3+)to Sm^(3+),and Tb^(3+)to Sm^(3+).Benefiting from these channels,the color coordinates of the triply-doped phosphors can cross the whole white light area of the CIE chromaticity diagram by adjusting the ratios of the three dopants,and the maximum internal quantum yield of the white light phosphors is 66.61%.The white emission phosphors show the characteristic of being independent of excitation wavelength within 310-360 nm.Furthermore,the emission intensity at 430 K of the white light phosphor Cs_(2)NalnCl_(6)∶0.01Sb^(3+),0.65Tb^(3+),0.20Sm^(3+)remains 50% of that at room temperature.A WLED device fabricated with the phosphor and a 365 nm LED chip exhibits a high color rendering index of 90.9,correlated color temperature of 5469 K,and CIE coordinates of(0.333 and 0.328).The results indicate that the as-prepared double perovskite materials are promising candidates in the solid-state lighting field.

文摘Obesity has become a global threat to health;however,the available drugs for treating obesity are limited.We investigated the anti-obesity effect of hydroxy-α-sanshool(HAS),an amide derived from the fruit of Zanthoxylum bungeanum,which promotes the management of obesity by triggering the browning of white adipose tissue(WAT)targeting the membrane receptor of transient receptor potential vanilloid 1(TRPV1).However,HAS easily undergoes configuration transformation and oxidative degradation.The short peptide CKGGRAKDC or adipose-targeting sequence(ATS)binds specifically to prohibitin on the surface of WAT cells and can be used as recognition assembly to enhance adipocyte targetability.Furthermore,mesoporous silica nanoparticles(MSNs)are widely used in drug delivery systems because of their large specific surface area and pore volume.Therefore,HAS-loaded adipose-targeted MSNs(MSNs-ATS)were developed to enhance the adipocyte targetability,safety,and efficacy of HAS,and tested on mature 3T3-L1 cells and obese mouse models.MSNs-ATS showed higher specificity for adipocyte targetability without obvious toxicity.HAS-loaded MSNs-ATS showed anti-obesity effects superior to those of HAS alone.In conclusion,we successfully developed adipocyte-targeted,HAS-loaded MSNs with good safety and anti-obesity effects.
文摘As the population ages,the burden of age-related diseases becomes greater.Currently,over 55 million people suffer from dementia worldwide,with Alzheimer’s disease being the most common form.However,it is becoming clearer that underlying vascular pathology such as cerebral small vessel disease(cSVD)may be a more detrimental cause for dementia(Cuadrado-Godia et al.,2018).It is estimated that 10%-30%of the elderly population and 35%-90%of all dementia patients exhibit signs of cSVD.The term cSVD refers to pathology affecting the small vessels of the brain,which can lead to lacunar cerebral infarcts,enlarged perivascular spaces,and cortical hemorrhages(Cuadrado-Godia et al.,2018).CSVD is often associated with cognitive decline,gait problems,and dementia(Cuadrado-Godia et al.,2018).
文摘The charge carrier transport and recombination dynamics in the quantum dots-based light-emitting diodes(QLEDs)featuring multiple emitting layers(M-EMLs)has a great impact on the device performance.In this work,QLEDs based on M-EMLs separated by polyethyleneimine ethoxylated(PEIE)layer with different stacking sequences of blue(B),green(G),and red(R)QDs layer were used to intuitively explore the injection,transportation and recombination processes of the charge carriers in QLEDs by using the time-resolved electroluminescence(TrEL)spectra.From the TrEL spectra mea-surements,green and red emissions were obtained first in the QLEDs with the EMLs sequences of G/PEIE/B/PEIE/R and B/PEIE/R/PEIE/G along the direction of light emission,respectively.While the QLEDs adopt EMLs sequences of B/PEIE/G/PEIE/R,the blue,green and red emissions were obtained nearly at the same time.The above phenomenon can be attributed to different charge carrier transmission and radiation recombination process in the EMLs due to different valence band offsets and conduction band offsets between R-,G-and B-QDs by using different sequences of EMLs.White emission with coordi-nates of(0.31,0.31)and correlated color temperature(CCT)of 5916 K was obtained in the QLEDs with the EMLs se-quences of B/PEIE/G/PEIE/R,which can be attributed to the relative uniform emission of B-,G-and R-QDs due to the effec-tive injection and radiation recombination of charge carriers in each of the EMLs.The above results have great significance for further understanding and improving the performance of QLEDs with M-EMLs.
