RESUMEN
Aiming at the problems of current similar hydrogel plugging agents, such as poor breaking performance, nonspontaneous degradation, and reservoir pollution which have been plaguing their application in temporary plugging operations, this study has synthesized a cross-linking agent for hydrogels with dimethylaminoethyl acrylate and dibromo-p-xylene as raw materials. With Fourier transform infrared, 1H nuclear magnetic resonance, and thermogravimetric analyses as representations of the structure and thermal stability of the cross-linking agent, a set of self-degrading hydrogel systems has been developed with the cross-linking agent as the core so as to make evaluations on the temperature resistance, plugging performance, and core damage performance of the hydrogel and conduct a study on its gelation kinetics. The research results show that the cross-linking agent shows good thermal stability. When applied in the hydrogel system, the hydrogel has shown high temperature resistance, maintaining gel strength for 5-10 days at 50-90 °C, with viscosity after complete degradation lower than 10 mPa·s. The excellent bearing strength of the hydrogel system has led to a core damage rate below 5%. The study on gelation kinetics of the hydrogel system shows that, with the increase in the concentration of the cross-linking agent, the gelation time of the hydrogel system is shortened, with the reaction order between the cross-linker concentration and the gelation time at about 0.6 under the condition of 50-90 °C.
RESUMEN
CD27 belongs to the tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily and acts as a co-stimulatory molecule, modulating T and B cell responses. CD27 stimulation enhances T cell survival and effector functions, thus providing opportunities to develop therapeutic strategies. The current study aims to investigate the role of endogenous CD27 signaling in tumor growth and metastasis. CD8 + T cell-specific CD27 knockout (CD8Cre-CD27fl) mice were developed, while global CD27 knockout (KO) mice were also used in our studies. Flow cytometry analyses confirmed that CD27 was deleted specifically from CD8 + T cells without affecting CD4 + T cells, B cells, and HSPCs in the CD8Cre-CD27fl mice, while CD27 was deleted from all cell types in global CD27 KO mice. Tumor growth and metastasis studies were performed by injecting B16-F10 melanoma cells subcutaneously (right flank) or intravenously into the mice. We have found that global CD27 KO mice succumbed to significantly accelerated tumor growth compared to WT controls. In addition, global CD27 KO mice showed a significantly higher burden of metastatic tumor nests in the lungs compared to WT controls. However, there was no significant difference in tumor growth curves, survival, metastatic tumor nest counts between the CD8Cre-CD27fl mice and WT controls. These results suggest that endogenous CD27 signaling inhibits tumor growth and metastasis via CD8 + T cell-independent mechanisms in this commonly used melanoma model, presumably through stimulating antitumor activities of other types of immune cells.

Background: Numerous observational studies have presented an association between Vitamin D (VD) and Alcoholic Liver Disease (ALD). However, sufficient evidence from Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) substantiating this correlation is scarce, thus leaving the causality of this relationship ambiguous. To overcome the shortcomings of traditional observational studies, we performed a two-sample bidirectional Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis to ascertain the causal relationship between VD and ALD. Methods: We utilized summary statistics datasets from Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) for VD and ALD. We selected genetic instruments that measure circulating VD levels (n = 64,979), and retrieved ALD statistics from GWASs, inclusive of 1,416 cases and 217,376 healthy controls, while excluding chronic liver diseases such as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, toxic liver disease, and viral hepatitis. Subsequent, MR analyses were performed to obtain effect estimates using inverse variance weighted (IVW) random effect models. Cochran's Q statistic and MR-Egger regression intercept analyses were used to assess pleiotropy. Sensitivity analyses using the MR Egger, weighted median, simple mode, and weighted mode methods were also performed. Leave-one-out analysis was used to identify SNPs with potential effect. Reverse MR analysis was also performed. Results: In IVW, our MR analysis incorporated 21 independent SNPs, circulating VD levels had no causal effect on ALD [OR = 0.624 (0.336-1.160), p = 0.136] and ALD had no causal effect on circulating VD [OR = 0.997 (0.986-1.008), p = 0.555]. No heterogeneity or pleiotropy was observed (p > 0.05). Other MR methods also agreed with IVW results. Conclusion: This study provides the causal relationship between genetically predicted circulating Vitamin D levels and ALD and provides new insights into the genetics of ALD.
RESUMEN
Motor cortical hyperexcitability is well-documented in the presymptomatic stage of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). However, the mechanisms underlying this early dysregulation are not fully understood. Microglia, as the principal immune cells of the central nervous system, have emerged as important players in sensing and regulating neuronal activity. Here we investigated the role of microglia in the motor cortical circuits in a mouse model of TDP-43 neurodegeneration (rNLS8). Utilizing multichannel probe recording and longitudinal in vivo calcium imaging in awake mice, we observed neuronal hyperactivity at the initial stage of disease progression. Spatial and single-cell RNA sequencing revealed that microglia are the primary responders to motor cortical hyperactivity. We further identified a unique subpopulation of microglia, rod-shaped microglia, which are characterized by a distinct morphology and transcriptional profile. Notably, rod-shaped microglia predominantly interact with neuronal dendrites and excitatory synaptic inputs to attenuate motor cortical hyperactivity. The elimination of rod-shaped microglia through TREM2 deficiency increased neuronal hyperactivity, exacerbated motor deficits, and further decreased survival rates of rNLS8 mice. Together, our results suggest that rod-shaped microglia play a neuroprotective role by attenuating cortical hyperexcitability in the mouse model of TDP-43 related neurodegeneration.
RESUMEN
Mitochondrial and synaptic dysfunction are pathological features of brain aging and cognitive decline. Synaptic mitochondria are vital for meeting the high energy demands of synaptic transmission. However, little is known about the link between age-related metabolic changes and the integrity of synaptic mitochondria. To this end, we investigate the mechanisms of advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs)-mediated mitochondrial and synaptic stress and evaluate the strategies to eliminate these toxic metabolites. Using aged brain and novel transgenic mice overexpressing neuronal glyoxalase 1 (GLO1), we comprehensively analyzed alterations in accumulation/buildup of AGEs and related metabolites in synaptic mitochondria and the association of AGE levels with mitochondrial function. We demonstrate for the first time that synaptic mitochondria are an early and major target of AGEs and the related toxic metabolite methylglyoxal (MG), a precursor of AGEs. MG/AGEs-insulted synaptic mitochondria exhibit deterioration of mitochondrial and synaptic function. Such accumulation of MG/AGEs positively correlated with mitochondrial perturbation and oxidative stress in aging brain. Importantly, clearance of AGEs-related metabolites by enhancing neuronal GLO1, a key enzyme for detoxification/of AGEs, reduces synaptic mitochondrial AGEs accumulation and improves mitochondrial and cognitive function in aging and AGE-challenged mice. Furthermore, we evaluated the direct effect of AGEs on synaptic function in hippocampal neurons in live brain slices as an ex-vivo model and in vitro cultured hippocampal neurons by recording long-term potentiation (LTP) and measuring spontaneously occurring miniature excitatory postsynaptic currents (mEPSCs). Neuronal GLO1 rescues deficits in AGEs-induced synaptic plasticity and transmission by fully recovery of decline in LTP or frequency of mEPSC. These studies explore crosstalk between synaptic mitochondrial dysfunction and age-related metabolic changes relevant to brain aging and cognitive decline. Synaptic mitochondria are particularly susceptible to AGEs-induced damage, highlighting the central importance of synaptic mitochondrial dysfunction in synaptic degeneration in age-related cognitive decline. Thus, augmenting GLO1 function to scavenge toxic metabolites represents a therapeutic approach to reduce age-related AGEs accumulation and to improve mitochondrial function and learning and memory.
RESUMEN
The development of high-throughput technologies has enhanced our understanding of small non-coding RNAs (sncRNAs) and their crucial roles in various diseases, including atrial fibrillation (AF). This study aimed to systematically delineate sncRNA profiles in AF patients. PANDORA-sequencing was used to examine the sncRNA profiles of atrial appendage tissues from AF and non-AF patients. Differentially expressed sncRNAs were identified using the R package DEGseq 2 with a fold change >2 and p < 0.05. The target genes of the differentially expressed sncRNAs were predicted using MiRanda and RNAhybrid. Gene Ontology (GO) categories and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analyses were performed. In AF patients, the most abundant sncRNAs were ribosomal RNA-derived small RNAs (rsRNAs), followed by transfer RNA-derived small RNAs (tsRNAs), and microRNAs (miRNAs). Compared with non-AF patients, 656 rsRNAs, 45 miRNAs, 191 tsRNAs and 51 small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) were differentially expressed in AF patients, whereas no significantly differentially expressed piwi-interacting RNAs were identified. Two out of three tsRNAs were confirmed to be upregulated in AF patients by quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction, and higher plasma levels of tsRNA 5006c-LysCTT were associated with a 2.55-fold increased risk of all-cause death in AF patients (hazard ratio: 2.55; 95% confidence interval, 1.56-4.17; p < 0.001). Combined with our previous transcriptome sequencing results, 32 miRNA, 31 snoRNA, 110 nucleus-encoded tsRNA, and 33 mitochondria-encoded tsRNA target genes were dysregulated in AF patients. GO and KEGG analyses revealed enrichment of differentially expressed sncRNA target genes in AF-related pathways, including the 'calcium signaling pathway' and 'adrenergic signaling in cardiomyocytes.' The dysregulated sncRNA profiles in AF patients suggest their potential regulatory roles in AF pathogenesis. Further research is needed to investigate the specific mechanisms of sncRNAs in the development of AF and to explore potential biomarkers for AF treatment and prognosis.

The bleeding time and amount in the short-segment group were shorter than in the long-segment group, and the bleeding volume was less than in the long-segment group. The Japanese Orthopaedic Association low back pain score, Oswestry Dysfunction Index, and lumbar spine stiffness disability index score of the two groups were significantly improved preoperatively, postoperatively, and at 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years post-operation. The differences were statistically significant at different time points within the groups. Neurological function improved to varying degrees postoperatively. The Cobb angle was significantly higher in both groups (P < 0.05). Adjacent vertebral disease occurred in 10 of 64 patients with short-segment fixation, with a prevalence of 15.6%. Preoperative pelvic tilt angle, preoperative pelvic projection angle (PPA), preoperative degree of matching of PPA to LL (PI-LL), and preoperative coronal Cobb angle were higher in patients with adjacent vertebral disease. There were varying degrees of improvement in low back pain and spinal function after short-segment decompression and fusion internal fixation. However, the patients are generally elderly and at risk of persistent low back pain and accelerated degeneration of adjacent segments.
RESUMEN
Neuropathic pain is a pathological state induced by the aberrant generation of pain signals within the nervous system. Ginkgolide B(GB), an active component found of Ginkgo. biloba leaves, has neuroprotective properties. This study aimed to explore the effects of GB on neuropathic pain and its underlying mechanisms. In the in vivo study, we adopted the rat chronic constriction injury model, and the results showed that GB(4â¯mg/kg) treatment effectively reduced pain sensation in rats and decreased the expressions of Iba-1 (a microglia marker), NLRP3 inflammasome, and inflammatory factors, such as interleukin (IL)-1ß, in the spinal cord 7 days post-surgery. In the in vitro study, we induced microglial inflammation using lipopolysaccharide (500â¯ng/mL) / adenosine triphosphate (5â¯mM) and treated it with GB (10, 20, and 40⯵M). GB upregulated the expression of mitophagy proteins, such as PINK1, Parkin, LC3 II/I, Tom20, and Beclin1, and decreased the cellular production of reactive oxygen species. Moreover, it lowered the expression of inflammation-related proteins, such as Caspase-1, IL-1ß, and NLRP3 in microglia. However, this effect was reversed by Parkin shRNA/siRNA or the autophagy inhibitor 3-methyladenine (5â¯mM). These findings reveal that GB alleviates neuropathic pain by mitigating neuroinflammation through the activation of PINK1-Parkin-mediated mitophagy.

Fourier single pixel imaging utilizes pre-programmed patterns for laser spatial distribution modulation to reconstruct intensity image of the target through reconstruction algorithms. The approach features non-locality and high anti-interference performance. However, Poor image quality is induced when the target of interest is occluded in Fourier single pixel imaging. To address the problem, a deep learning-based image inpainting algorithm is employed within Fourier single pixel imaging to reconstruct partially obscured targets with high quality. It applies a distance-based segmentation method to segment obscured regions and the target of interest. Additionally, it utilizes an image inpainting network that combines multi-scale sparse convolution and transformer architecture, along with a reconstruction network that integrates Channel Attention Mechanism and Attention Gate modules to reconstruct complete and clear intensity images of the target of interest. The proposed method significantly expands the application scenarios and improves the imaging quality of Fourier single pixel imaging. Simulation and real-world experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method exhibits the high inpainting and reconstruction capacity in the conditions of hard occlusion and down-sampling.
RESUMEN
Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell immunotherapy for the treatment of neurological autoimmune diseases is promising, but CAR T cell kinetics and immune alterations after treatment are poorly understood. Here, we performed single-cell multi-omics sequencing of paired cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and blood samples from patients with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) treated with anti-B cell maturation antigen (BCMA) CAR T cells. Proliferating cytotoxic-like CD8+ CAR T cell clones were identified as the main effectors in autoimmunity. Anti-BCMA CAR T cells with enhanced features of chemotaxis efficiently crossed the blood-CSF barrier, eliminated plasmablasts and plasma cells in the CSF, and suppressed neuroinflammation. The CD44-expressing early memory phenotype in infusion products was potentially associated with CAR T cell persistence in autoimmunity. Moreover, CAR T cells from patients with NMOSD displayed distinctive features of suppressed cytotoxicity compared with those from hematological malignancies. Thus, we provide mechanistic insights into CAR T cell function in patients with neurological autoimmune disease.

INTRODUCTION: Axillary artery cannulation (AAC) has been widely employed in total arch replacement surgeries using the frozen elephant trunk (FET) technique for acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD), showing better clinical results than femoral artery cannulation (FAC). Nevertheless, in type II hybrid arch repair (HAR), FAC is crucial for lower body perfusion. Hence, it is unclear whether AAC remains necessary or if AAC represents a more advantageous method for initiating cardiopulmonary bypass. METHODS: We conducted a study involving patients diagnosed with ATAAD who underwent type II HAR from August 2021 to December 2022. Demographic baseline and intraoperative data were collected, and the postoperative outcomes of patients receiving FAC only were compared with those receiving AAC. RESULTS: There were no significant differences in baseline demographics between patients who underwent FAC alone (n = 46) and those who underwent AAC (n = 39). Patients who underwent AAC showed a lower incidence of transient neurological dysfunction (TND) post-surgery compared to those who underwent FAC (12.8% vs 32.6%, p = .032). There were no significant differences between the groups in terms of postoperative mortality within 30 days, permanent neurological dysfunction (PND), length of stay in the intensive care unit (ICU) and postoperative ward, duration of mechanical ventilation, and other complications. CONCLUSIONS: Axillary artery cannulation may decrease the incidence of postoperative transient neurological dysfunction (TND) in type II HAR for ATAAD. Nonetheless, studies with larger sample sizes are necessary.
RESUMEN
In this study, a novel magnetic Ni-Fe2O3-C catalyst combined with electromagnetic induction heating in biomass steam gasification was proposed to enhance H2 production. Better catalytic performance for H2 production was observed with the Ni-Fe2O3-C catalyst under induction heating, resulting in an increase in H2 yield from 735.1 to 2271.2 mL/g-biomass (a 209.1 % enhancement). SEM, TGA and XRD analysis demonstrated a significant decrease in coking deposition, caking, and particle agglomeration of the Ni-Fe2O3-C catalyst under induction heating, while maintaining more active sites. Importantly, the benefits of induction heating were also applicable to different magnetic catalysts like Ni-Al2O3-C, Ni-ZrO2-C, and Ni-MgO-C. Experimental results revealed a logarithmic correlation between the increase in H2 yields due to induction heating and the magnetic saturation (Ms) of the catalysts. The Ni-Fe2O3-C catalyst, with a high Ms of 50.9 emu/g, showed the highest catalytic activity for H2 production under induction heating in this study.

BACKGROUND: Despite ongoing improvements to regimens preventing allograft rejection, most cardiac and other organ grafts eventually succumb to chronic vasculopathy, interstitial fibrosis, or endothelial changes, and eventually graft failure. The events leading to chronic rejection are still poorly understood and the gut microbiota is a known driving force in immune dysfunction. We previously showed that gut microbiota dysbiosis profoundly influences the outcome of vascularized cardiac allografts and subsequently identified biomarker species associated with these differential graft outcomes. METHODS: In this study, we further detailed the multifaceted immunomodulatory properties of protolerogenic and proinflammatory bacterial species over time, using our clinically relevant model of allogenic heart transplantation. RESULTS: In addition to tracing longitudinal changes in the recipient gut microbiome over time, we observed that Bifidobacterium pseudolongum induced an early anti-inflammatory phenotype within 7 d, whereas Desulfovibrio desulfuricans resulted in a proinflammatory phenotype, defined by alterations in leukocyte distribution and lymph node (LN) structure. Indeed, in vitro results showed that B pseudolongum and D desulfuricans acted directly on primary innate immune cells. However, by 40 d after treatment, these 2 bacterial strains were associated with mixed effects in their impact on LN architecture and immune cell composition and loss of colonization within gut microbiota, despite protection of allografts from inflammation with B pseudolongum treatment. CONCLUSIONS: These dynamic effects suggest a critical role for early microbiota-triggered immunologic events such as innate immune cell engagement, T-cell differentiation, and LN architectural changes in the subsequent modulation of protolerant versus proinflammatory immune responses in organ transplant recipients.

The role of microglia in triggering the blood-brain barrier (BBB) impairment and white matter damage after chronic cerebral hypoperfusion is unclear. Here we demonstrated that the vessel-adjacent microglia were specifically activated by the leakage of plasma low-density lipoprotein (LDL), which led to BBB breakdown and ischemic demyelination. Interestingly, we found that LDL stimulation enhanced microglial phagocytosis, causing excessive engulfment of myelin debris and resulting in an overwhelming lipid burden in microglia. Surprisingly, these lipid-laden microglia exhibited a suppressed profile of inflammatory response and compromised pro-regenerative properties. Microglia-specific knockdown of LDLR or systematic medication lowering circulating LDL-C showed protective effects against ischemic demyelination. Overall, our findings demonstrated that LDL-stimulated vessel-adjacent microglia possess a disease-specific molecular signature, characterized by suppressed regenerative properties, which is associated with the propagation of demyelination during ischemic white matter damage.

Microglial calcium signaling is rare in a baseline state but strongly engaged during early epilepsy development. The mechanism(s) governing microglial calcium signaling are not known. By developing an in vivo uridine diphosphate (UDP) fluorescent sensor, GRABUDP1.0, we discovered that UDP release is a conserved response to seizures and excitotoxicity across brain regions. UDP can signal through the microglial-enriched P2Y6 receptor to increase calcium activity during epileptogenesis. P2Y6 calcium activity is associated with lysosome biogenesis and enhanced production of NF-κB-related cytokines. In the hippocampus, knockout of the P2Y6 receptor prevents microglia from fully engulfing neurons. Attenuating microglial calcium signaling through calcium extruder ("CalEx") expression recapitulates multiple features of P2Y6 knockout, including reduced lysosome biogenesis and phagocytic interactions. Ultimately, P2Y6 knockout mice retain more CA3 neurons and better cognitive task performance during epileptogenesis. Our results demonstrate that P2Y6 signaling impacts multiple aspects of myeloid cell immune function during epileptogenesis.

Border-associated macrophages (BAMs) are tissue-resident macrophages that reside at the border of the central nervous system (CNS). Since BAMs originate from yolk sac progenitors that do not persist after birth, the means by which this population of cells is maintained is not well understood. Using two-photon microscopy and multiple lineage-tracing strategies, we determine that CCR2+ monocytes are significant contributors to BAM populations following disruptions of CNS homeostasis in adult mice. After BAM depletion, while the residual BAMs possess partial self-repopulation capability, the CCR2+ monocytes are a critical source of the repopulated BAMs. In addition, we demonstrate the existence of CCR2+ monocyte-derived long-lived BAMs in a brain compression model and in a sepsis model after the initial disruption of homeostasis. Our study reveals that the short-lived CCR2+ monocytes transform into long-lived BAM-like cells at the CNS border and subsequently contribute to BAM populations.

The intelligent monitoring of cutting tools used in the manufacturing industry is steadily becoming more convenient. To accurately predict the state of tools and tool breakages, this study proposes a tool wear prediction technique based on multi-sensor information fusion. First, the vibrational, current, and cutting force signals transmitted during the machining process were collected, and the features were extracted. Next, the Kalman filtering algorithm was used for feature fusion, and a predictive model for tool wear was constructed by combining the ResNet and long short-term memory (LSTM) models (called ResNet-LSTM). Experimental data for thin-walled parts obtained under various machining conditions were utilized to monitor the changes in tool conditions. A comparison between the ResNet and LSTM tool wear prediction models indicated that the proposed ResNet-LSTM model significantly improved the prediction accuracy compared to the individual LSTM and ResNet models. Moreover, ResNet-LSTM exhibited adaptive noise reduction capabilities at the front end of the network for signal feature extraction, thereby enhancing the signal feature extraction capability. The ResNet-LSTM model yielded an average prediction error of 0.0085 mm and a tool wear prediction accuracy of 98.25%. These results validate the feasibility of the tool wear prediction method proposed in this study.
