Background: Several preclinical studies have reported elevated levels of tau following the induction of chronic cerebral hypoperfusion (CCH) in Alzheimer's disease mouse models. The objective of this study was to first induce CCH in a mouse model of tauopathy over an extended period of up to 6 months and to subsequently investigate the effects of CCH on tau accumulation and alterations in the transcriptome.
Methods: Three-month-old P301S tauopathy mice were randomly allocated to either a Sham or CCH group. The common carotid arteries (CCAs) of the CCH group were bilaterally implanted using 0.75-mm inner diameter ameroid constrictors. Prior to surgery, Doppler ultrasound imaging was acquired, with follow-up imaging at 1, 3, and 6 months postoperatively. Brain tissue samples were obtained, and hemispheres were dissected and divided for separate analysis.
Result: No significant differences in phosphorylated and total tau protein levels were found in either Sham or CCH left cortical hemispheres or hippocampal lysates. Immunohistochemical staining of phosphorylated tau in the right hemisphere revealed similar findings. Compared with the Sham group, transcriptomic deconvolution revealed a significant reduction of memory B cells in the CCH group ( = 0.029).
Conclusion: To clarify the effects of chronic hypoperfusion on tau pathology, more than one surgical method of hypoperfusion should be used in future studies.

This study aims to explore the effects and mechanisms of 4'-O-methylbavachalcone(MeBavaC), an active compound from Psoraleae Fructus, in regulating white matter neuroinflammation to improve vascular cognitive impairment. Male Sprague-Dawley(SD) rats were randomly divided into four groups: sham group, model group, high-dose MeBavaC group(14 mg·kg~(-1)), and low-dose MeBavaC group(7 mg·kg~(-1)). The rat model of chronic cerebral hypoperfusion(CCH) was established using bilateral common carotid artery occlusion.

Objective: To investigate the long-term outcome of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) who presented with renal involvement in a Taiwanese population.
Methods: Data of patients diagnosed with SLE at Changhua Christian Hospital Clinical Research Database from January 2010 until December 2021 were retrospectively reviewed. Participants were categorized according to the presence of renal involvement, defined as a high protein-to-creatinine ratio or positive histopathology of kidney biopsy.

DIALOGUE (DIagnostic AI Learning through Objective Guided User Experience) is a generative artificial intelligence (GenAI)-based training program designed to enhance diagnostic communication skills in medical students. In this single-arm pre-post study, we evaluated whether DIALOGUE could improve students' ability to disclose a type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) diagnosis with clarity, structure, and empathy. Thirty clinical-phase students completed two pre-test virtual encounters with an AI-simulated patient (ChatGPT, GPT-4o), scored by blinded raters using an eight-domain rubric.

Choline amino acid ionic liquids ([Ch][AA]) are green solvents with high thermal stability, good biodegradability and low toxicity. In this work, the hydrogen bond kinetic properties of the four [Ch][AA] and the effect of temperature on them were investigated using density functional theory (DFT) calculations and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. By atom-in-molecule (AIM) and noncovalent interaction (RDG) analysis, it was found that the hydroxyl hydrogen (H) atom and the methyl hydrogen (H) atom of the cation form hydrogen bonds with the carboxylate oxygen (O) atom of the anion (O-H···O hydrogen bond, C-H···O hydrogen bond), respectively.
