Article Abstract

Objective: To investigate the dynamic changes of serum nitric oxide (NO) level and its mechanisms in rats in traumatic shock.

Methods: Rat models of traumatic shock were established by fracturing the posterior limb of the rats. Serum levels of nitrate/nitrite were measured with the method described by Griess.

Results: No significant changes in serum NO level took place during traumatic shock. One hour after resuscitation, however, serum NO level first underwent marked decline and then increased to the peak level at 6 h after resuscitation, retaining a high level till 24 h after resuscitation. No obvious changes of serum NO levels were observed in rats without resuscitation.

Conclusion: Serum NO level does not significantly alter during traumatic shock, while after resuscitation, NO level increases after transient decrease, possibly due to reperfusion injury.

Brain ischemia is a major global cause of disability, frequently leading to psychoneurological issues. This study investigates the effects of 4-aminopyridine (4-AP) on anxiety, cognitive impairment, and potential underlying mechanisms in a mouse model of medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) ischemia. Mice with mPFC ischemia were treated with normal saline (NS) or different doses of 4-AP (250, 500, and 1000 µg/kg) for 14 consecutive days.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the efficacy and safety of add-on metformin treatment in persons with active epilepsy (a-PWE). This is a single-centric, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial randomised a-PWE (1:1) to receive either metformin (extended-release 500 mg) or matching placebo for 6 months along with background antiseizure medications. Primary outcome was percentage change in seizure frequency/month, and secondary outcomes were 50% responder rate, serum mTOR expression, and serum total antioxidant capacity (TAC), body composition analysis, quality of life (QOL), and safety assessment.

Objective: To evaluate dynamic changes in autoantibody and proteomic profiles in treatment-naïve systemic sclerosis (SSc) patients and identify biomarkers and mechanisms associated with disease progression.

Methods: Serum samples from 30 baseline and 49 follow-up SSc patients, along with 38 controls, were analyzed. Autoantibody profiles were assessed using an autoantigen microarray targeting 120 autoantibodies, while proteomic analysis was conducted via liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry in data-independent acquisition mode.

Background: Sunscreen reduces vitamin D production in experimental studies. It is uncertain whether this translates to 'real-world' settings.

Objectives: We aimed to dtermine if routinely applying high-SPF sunscreen for one year reduces serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] concentration.
