Article Abstract

To address the significance of enhancing myelination for functional recovery after white matter injury (WMI) in preterm infants, we characterized hypomyelination associated with chronic hypoxia and identified structural and functional deficits of excitatory cortical synapses with a prolonged motor deficit. We demonstrate that genetically delaying myelination phenocopies the synaptic and functional deficits observed in mice after hypoxia, suggesting that myelination may possibly facilitate excitatory presynaptic innervation. As a gain-of-function experiment, we specifically ablated the muscarinic receptor 1 (M1R), a negative regulator of oligodendrocyte differentiation in oligodendrocyte precursor cells. Genetically enhancing oligodendrocyte differentiation and myelination rescued the synaptic loss after chronic hypoxia and promoted functional recovery. As a proof of concept, drug-based myelination therapies also resulted in accelerated differentiation and myelination with functional recovery after chronic hypoxia. Together, our data indicate that myelination-enhancing strategies in preterm infants may represent a promising therapeutic approach for structural/functional recovery after hypoxic WMI.

This study introduces a new, highly sensitive, and reliable method for detecting and measuring orthophosphate in environmental water samples. This method combines cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB)-mediated coacervation extraction with digital image-based colorimetry, providing a robust and efficient approach for orthophosphate analysis. In this system, CTAB, a cationic surfactant, serves a dual role as both an ion-pairing agent and an extraction medium.

The enantioselective kinetic resolution of racemic 2-ethynylaziridines ring opening with amines is realized under the catalysis of a chiral Cu(I)-bisphosphine combination. This protocol provides an expedient way to access synthetically valuable enantioenriched propargylic vicinal diamines (70%-95% yields, 14%-95% ee) and 2-ethynylaziridines (70%-95% recovery rates, 14%-95% ee) within 15-240 h under mild reaction conditions.

Department of Neurosurgery, Second Affiliated Hospital, School of Medicine, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China.

Aims: Sustained neuroinflammation following ischemic stroke impedes post-injury tissue repairment and neurological functional recovery. Developing innovative therapeutic strategies that simultaneously suppress detrimental inflammatory cascades and facilitate neurorestorative processes is critical for improving long-term rehabilitation outcomes.

Methods: We employed a microglia depletion-repopulation paradigm by administering PLX5622 for 7 days post-ischemia; followed by a 7-day withdrawal period to allow microglia repopulation.

Arthroplasty surgery is a common and successful end-stage intervention for advanced osteoarthritis. Yet, postoperative outcomes vary significantly among patients, leading to a plethora of measures and associated measurement approaches to monitor patient outcomes. Traditional approaches rely heavily on patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), which are widely used, but often lack sensitivity to detect function changes (e.

Functional recovery after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) varies widely among individuals, and traditional assessments often fail to detect subtle changes in real-world walking ability. Wearable sensors offer continuous and objective tracking of gait outside of clinical settings. In this prospective, longitudinal study, thirty-one patients undergoing unilateral TKA wore thigh-mounted accelerometers continuously from 2 weeks before surgery through 90 days postoperatively.
