Background: This study aimed to assess intraoperative cerebral hemodynamic responses and embolic events during transcarotid artery revascularization via transcranial Doppler, near-infrared spectroscopy, and bispectral index monitoring.
Methods: Twelve patients (7 males, 5 females; mean age: 72.8±9.0 years; range, 63 to 91 years) undergoing transcarotid artery revascularization with simultaneous transcranial Doppler, near-infrared spectroscopy, and bispectral index monitoring were analyzed in this retrospective study between September 2017 and December 2019. The mean flow velocity and pulsatility index of the middle cerebral artery, alongside near-infrared spectroscopy and bispectral index values, before flow reversal, during flow reversal, and after flow reversal phases were investigated. The presence and frequency of high-intensity transient signals were recorded to evaluate embolic incidents.
Results: Significant reductions in middle cerebral artery mean flow velocity were noted during flow reversal (40.58±10.57 cm/sec to 20.58±14.34 cm/sec, p=0.0004), which subsequently returned to and exceeded baseline values after flow reversal cessation (53.33±17.69 cm/sec, p=0.0005). Near-infrared spectroscopy (71±4.4% to 66±6.2%) and bispectral index (45.71±8.5 to 40.14±8.1) values mirrored these hemodynamic changes, with notable decreases during flow reversal, and recoveries after flow reversal. The highest concentration of high-intensity transient signals was observed during stent deployment, signifying a critical embolic phase. No perioperative neurological complications or other significant adverse events were documented.
Conclusion: Transcranial Doppler, near-infrared spectroscopy, and bispectral index effectively monitor cerebral hemodynamics and embolic potential during transcarotid artery revascularization, providing real-time data crucial for optimizing perioperative management. These findings underscore the clinical value of multimodal monitoring in improving patient outcomes in transcarotid artery revascularization procedures.

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in the numerous types of tumors. The aim of this study is to comprehend the pathological mechanism of lncRNA CASC19 in ovarian cancer. CASC19, miR-761 and CBX2 expression in the samples was quantitatively detected by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) reaction.

Heat shock protein family A member 4-like (HSPA4L) has been shown to be overexpressed in osteoarthritis (OA) patients, but its role in OA process still unknown. Chondrocytes were stimulated with interleukin-1β (IL-1β) to mimic OA cell model in vitro, and rat was injected with monosodium iodoacetate (MIA) to construct OA rat model in vivo. The expression of HSPA4L, methyltransferase-like 3 (METTL3) and extracellular matrix (ECM)-related markers was examined by qRT-PCR or western blot.

Introduction: Small nucleolar RNA (snoRNA) mediates RNA modifications, including 2'-O-methylation (Nm) and pseudouridine (Ψ), which has been proven to impact tumor progression. However, the role of snoRNA in the epigenetics of tumors remains poorly understood due to the lack of sufficiently effective experimental methods to identify snoRNA targets. Here, we identified SNORD13H, a C/D box snoRNA, as being downregulated in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and its low expression was associated with HCC development.

Introduction: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a leading cause of vision loss in older adults, with limited effective treatments available. This study aimed to investigate the pharmacological effects of dihydromyricetin (DHM) on AMD and to identify its putative pharmacological targets through network analysis and molecular docking approaches.
Methods: experiments established an AMD model using sodium iodate (SI)-induced ARPE-19 cells, with CCK-8 assays determining 15 mM SI as the optimal modeling concentration and 100 μM DHM as the optimal treatment concentration.
Background: Perioperative neurocognitive disorders (PND) is a significant clinical syndrome and neuroinflammation is an important pathological process. Matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9) as a Zn2+-dependent matrix enzyme, not only maintains the integrity of the blood-brain barrier and synaptic plasticity, but also plays a key regulatory factor in peripheral and central nervous inflammation. This study aimed to investigate the effects of MMP9-mediated microglial polarization on surgery-induced neuroinflammation in aged rats and to provide novel targets for prevention and treatment of PND.
