Article Abstract
A high-speed, contrast-free, quantitative ultrasound velocimetry (vUS) for blood flow velocity imaging throughout the rodent brain is developed based on the normalized first-order temporal autocorrelation function of the ultrasound field signal. vUS is able to quantify blood flow velocity in both transverse and axial directions, and is validated with numerical simulation, phantom experiments, and in vivo measurements. The functional imaging ability of vUS is demonstrated by monitoring the blood flow velocity changes during whisker stimulation in awake mice. Compared to existing Power-Doppler- and Color-Doppler-based functional ultrasound imaging techniques, vUS shows quantitative accuracy in estimating both axial and transverse flow speeds and resistance to acoustic attenuation and high-frequency noise.

Repopulating Microglia Suppress Peripheral Immune Cell Infiltration to Promote Poststroke Recovery.

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.

Department of Biomedical Engineering, University of California, Davis, Davis, California, USA.
Purpose: This study sought to determine the intrasession repeatability of the diffusion-weighted (DW) arterial spin labeling (ASL) sequence at different postlabel delays (PLDs).
Methods: We first performed numerical simulations to study the accuracy of the two-compartment water exchange rate (Kw) fitting model with added Gaussian noise for DW PLDs at 1500, 1800, and 2100 ms. Ten young, healthy participants then underwent a structural T scan and two intrasession in vivo DW ASL scans at each PLD on a 3T MRI.
Abnormal immune responses are common clinical features in septic patients. γδ T cells, as innate immune cells, play an important role in host defense, immune surveillance and homeostasis. However, the immune characteristics of γδ T cells in pediatric sepsis remains remain poorly understood.

However, the space environment poses substantial physiological challenges, particularly for the cardiovascular system. According to NASA's Human Research Program, the five primary risks associated with human spaceflight are: (1) microgravity, (2) ionizing cosmic radiation, (3) isolation and confinement, (4) closed environmental systems, and (5) the great distance from Earth.

Purpose: Tracer kinetic models are used in arterial spin labeling (ASL); however, deciding which model parameters to fix or fit is not always trivial. The identifiability of the resultant system of equations is useful to consider, since it will likely impact parameter uncertainty. Here, we analyze the identifiability of two-compartment models used in multi-echo (ME) blood-brain-barrier (BBB)-ASL and evaluate the reliability of the fitted water-transfer rate ).
