Article Abstract
Background: Obstructive jaundice induces oxidative changes in the brain parenchyma and plays significant role in clinical manifestations of hepatic encephalopathy. We aim to study the progression of the brain oxidative status over time and the differences of its pattern over the hemispheres, the brainstem and the cerebellum. We use an experimental model in rats and measuring the oxidative stress (OS) specific biomarkers protein malondialdehyde (PrMDA) and protein carbonyls (PrC = O).
Results: Hyperbilirubinemia has been confirmed in all study groups as the result of common bile duct obstruction. We confirmed increase in both PrMDA and PrC = O biomarkers levels with different type of changes over time. We also confirmed that the oxidative process develops differently in each of the brain areas in study.
Conclusions: The present study confirms the progressive increase in OS in all brain areas studied using markers indicative of cumulative protein modification.

Arsenic Exposure Induces Cognitive Impairment in Mice with Increased Acetylcholinesterase Activity and Inflammation in the Cortex and Hippocampus: Implications for Alzheimer's Disease.

Introduction: Arsenic, a metalloid, is well associated as a risk factor for the development and progression of neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's Disease (AD), which is characterized by impairment in cognition. However, specific effects of arsenic on Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity and inflammatory markers in different brain regions, as well as its impact on behaviour, are not yet fully understood.
Methods: Arsenic was administered (20 mg/kg by gavage for 4 weeks) to male and female mice, and its effects on behaviour were assessed by using the object recognition memory test and lightdark box test.

Objectives: To investigate the role of a neural pathway from oxytocin (OXT) neurons in the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN) to γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) neurons in the trigeminal nucleus caudalis (TNC) in regulating pain sensitization in a mouse model of chronic migraine and to explore the underlying mechanisms.
Methods: A chronic migraine model was established by intraperitoneal injection of nitroglycerin (NTG, 10 mg/kg) on days 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9. The study consisted of four parts: PartⅠ: Wild-type C57BL/6J mice were divided into 4 groups (=6 in each), receiving single or repeated injection of NTG or saline, respectively.

With the development of nanomedicine and ultrasound technology, ultrasound-enhanced contrast agents and treatment platforms based on nanomaterials have become important tools for tumor diagnosis and treatment, owing to their high safety profile, low cost and excellent biocompatibility. This review comprehensively discusses the classification and mechanism of nanomaterials in enhancing ultrasound imaging and treatment. It encompasses organic nanomaterials, including nanobubbles and polymer nanoparticles, and as well as inorganic nanomaterials, such as metal nanoparticles and metal oxide nanoparticles.

The global surge in the population of people 60 years and older, including that in China, challenges healthcare systems with rising age-related diseases. To address this demographic change, the Aging Biomarker Consortium (ABC) has launched the X-Age Project to develop a comprehensive aging evaluation system tailored to the Chinese population. Our goal is to identify robust biomarkers and construct composite aging clocks that capture biological age, defined as an individual's physiological and molecular state, across diverse Chinese cohorts.

Heat stroke (HS), a life-threatening heat-related disorder, is characterized by a rapid elevation of core body temperature exceeding 40 °C, accompanied by central nervous system (CNS) dysfunction and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS). With the escalating impact of global warming, the incidence of HS has risen progressively, posing a significant threat to global health. The CNS is one of the primary target organs in HS, and its injury mechanisms involve intricate interactions among inflammatory cascades, oxidative stress, programmed cell death, and blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption.
