Microplastics (MPs) pollution has become a serious environmental issue worldwide, but its potential effects on health remain unknown. The administration of polystyrene MPs (PS-MPs) to mice for eight weeks impaired learning and memory behavior. PS-MPs were detected in the brain especially hippocampus these mice. Concurrently, had decreased levels immediate-early genes, aberrantly enhanced synaptic glutamate AMPA receptors, elevated neuroinflammation, all which are critical plasticity memory....
Background: Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a non-invasive brain for treatment-resistant obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). We aim to compare the treatment outcomes of newly developed dual-site cathodal tDCS method over orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) and pre-supplementary motor area (pre-SMA) two previously reported montages (cerebellum-OFC pre-SMA) in patients with OCD. Methods: Eighteen OCD were randomly assigned receive twice-daily 2 mA/20 min sessions 10 consecutive...
Background: The DEFUSE-3 and DAWN studies established the benefits of endovascular therapy for patients with stroke large vessel occlusion in a 6–24 h time window. However, effectiveness performed beyond 24 remains uncertain. purpose this meta-analysis is to evaluate difference prognosis between thrombectomies within from ischemic onset. Methods: A systematic review was conducted using PubMed, Cochrane, Embase databases database inception until 1 February 2024. Odds ratios 95% confidence...
To delineate if the change in cortical excitability persists across migraine attacks, visual evoked magnetic fields (VEF) were measured patients with without aura during interictal (n = 26) or peri-ictal 21) periods, and compared 30 healthy controls. The stimuli checkerboard reversals four different check sizes (15', 30', 60' 120'). For each size, five sequential blocks of 50 VEF responses recorded to calculate percentage P100m amplitude second fifth comparison first block. At size 120',...
We investigate properties of dark solitons under competing nonlocal cubic-local quintic nonlinearities. Analytical results, based on a variational approach and confirmed by direct numerical simulations, reveal the existence unique soliton solutions with their width being independent degree nonlocality, due to cubic-quintic
The magnetic equivalent (MMNm) of mismatch negativity may reflect auditory discrimination and sensory memory. To study whether temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) affects automatic central auditory-change processing, we recorded magnetoencephalographic (MEG) responses to standard duration-deviant sounds in 12 TLE patients age-matched controls, repeated MEG measurement 8 6–30 months following surgery 6 controls 3–8 after their first measurement. We compared the MMNm between also evaluated intertrial...
Learning points for cliniciansConvulsion/seizure may occur infrequently after mRNA-1273 vaccine (Moderna vaccine) administration, with an estimated risk of 285 events per million person-years.We report a rare case coronavirus disease 2019 vaccine-induced encephalitis and status epilepticus.The patient recovered pulse corticosteroid therapy administration.Clinicians should be aware possible neurological complications post-vaccination.
(1) Background: The acute effects of ozone, cold temperature and particulate matter less than 2.5 μm (PM2.5) in size related to asthma attacks are well known worldwide. adverse ozone on morbidity Taiwan still inconclusive. (2) Methods: This retrospective study included patients who had emergency room visits (ERVs) from 1 January 2016 31 December 2019 a regional hospital Taiwan. short-term negative were estimated using Distributed Lag Non-Linear Models (DLNMs) for the relative risks (RRs)...
Background: Pancreatitis‐associated protein (PAP) is a secretory not normally expressed in healthy pancreas but highly induced during acute pancreatitis. While PAP has been shown to be anti‐bacterial and anti‐apoptotic vitro, its definitive biological function vivo clear. Methods: To elucidate the of PAP, antisense oligodeoxyribonucleotides (AS‐PAP) targeting all three isoforms were administered via intrapancreatic injections (5 mg kg −1 day , 2 days) rats prior induction Results: Severity...
Severe hypoglycemia can result in neural damage, impaired cognitive function, coma, seizures, or death. The decision to admit diabetic patients after initial treatment the emergency department remains unclear. Our purpose is identify risk factors for developing recurrent admitted severe hypoglycemia.We reviewed records of 233 subjects (92 males, 141 females; mean age, 74.1 +/- 9.8 years) with type 2 diabetes treated at a tertiary care teaching hospital and hospitalized...
Negative symptoms represent an unmet need for schizophrenia treatment. The effect of theta frequency transcranial alternating current stimulation (theta-tACS) applied during working memory (WM) tasks on negative has not been demonstrated as yet. We conducted a randomized, double-blind, sham-controlled trial 36 stabilized patients, randomized to receive either twice daily, 6 Hz 2 mA, 20 min sessions in-phase frontoparietal tACS or sham five consecutive weekdays. Participants were concurrently...
Background and Objectives: Attentional dysfunction has long been viewed as one of the fundamental underlying cognitive deficits in schizophrenia. There is an urgent need to understand its neural underpinning develop effective treatments. In process attention, oscillation a central role filtering information allocating resources either stimulus-driven or goal-relevant objects. Here, we asked if resting-state EEG connectivity correlated with attentional performance schizophrenia patients....
(1) Background: An asthma exacerbation that is not relieved with medication typically requires an emergency room visit (ERV). The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic began in Taiwan January of 2020. influence the COVID-19 on pediatric ERVs was limited. Our aim to survey era; (2) Methods: Data were collected from health quality database Taiwanese National Health Insurance Administration 2021. Air pollution and climatic factors Taipei used evaluate these relationships. Changes rates...
Abstract Background Hemopressin was identified as an endogenous inverse agonist/antagonist of CB 1 receptor, whereas VD ‐hemopressin( α ) [ ‐Hp ] and β were found the novel peptidic agonists cannabinoid receptors. As cannabinoids are potent modulators gastrointestinal ( GI motility, our aim to characterize effects hemopressin related peptides on motility in vivo . Methods The responses intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) administration reference compound WIN 55,212‐2, hemopressin, investigated...
Prostate cancer (PCa) is a reproductive system in elderly men. We investigated the effects of betel nut arecoline on growth normal and cancerous prostate cells. Normal RWPE-1 epithelial cells, androgen-independent PC-3 PCa androgen-dependent LNCaP cells were used. Arecoline inhibited their dose- time-dependent manners. caused cell cycle arrest G2/M phase G0/G1 phase. In increased expression cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK)-1, p21, cyclins B1 D3, decreased CDK2, had no CDK4 cyclin D1 expression....
Resistin and suppressors of cytokine signaling (SOCSs) have been reported to regulate prostate cancer (PCa) cell proliferation survival, respectively. Whether any the SOCS molecules mediate mitogenic effect resistin on PCa cells is unknown. Using PC-3 human cells, we found that upregulates expression SOCS3 SOCS5 mRNA, but not SOCS7 in a dose- time-dependent manner. The resistin-induced increases were prevented by pretreatment with specific inhibitors TLR4, ERK, p38 MAPK, JNK, PI3K, JAK2...
The Taiwan Chelungpu‐fault Drilling Project (TCDP) installed a vertical seismic array between 950 and 1270 m depth in an active thrust fault environment. In this paper we analyze continuous noise records of the TCDP 1 16 Hz. We apply multiple processing correlation techniques to study source process, properties propagation medium, ambient wave field. Diurnal amplitude slowness patterns suggest that is generated by cultural activity. vicinity recording site excitation region, indicated narrow...
