"Western" style dietary patterns are characterized by a high proportion of highly processed foods rich in fat and low fiber. This diet pattern is associated with myriad metabolic dysfunctions, including neuroinflammation cognitive impairment. β-glucan, the major soluble fiber oat barley grains, fermented lower gastrointestinal tract, potentially impacting microbial ecosystem thus may improve elements cognition brain function via gut-brain axis. The present study aimed to evaluate effect...

Postoperative cognitive decline (POCD) is a recognized clinical phenomenon characterized by impairments in patients following anesthesia and surgery, yet its underlying mechanism remains unclear. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) plays an important role neuronal plasticity, learning, memory via activation of TrkB-full length (TrkB-FL) receptors. It has been reported that abnormal truncation TrkB mediated calpain results dysregulation BDNF/TrkB signaling associated with several...

Abstract Background Cognitive impairment, an increasing mental health issue, is a core feature of the aging brain and neurodegenerative diseases. Industrialized nations especially, have experienced marked decrease in dietary fiber intake, but potential mechanism linking low intake cognitive impairment poorly understood. Emerging research reported that diversity gut microbiota Western populations significantly reduced. However, it unknown whether fiber-deficient diet (which alters microbiota)...

Pain and depression are frequently co-existent in clinical practice, yet the underlying mechanisms remain largely to be determined. Microglia activation subsequent pro-inflammatory responses play a crucial role development of neuropathic pain depression. The process microglia polarization M1 or anti-inflammatory M2 phenotypes often occurs during neuroinflammation. However, it remains unclear whether M1/M2 is involved induced by spared nerve injury (SNI). In present study, mechanical...

Abstract Background Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) is associated with worsened prognosis especially in aged population. Clinical and animal studies suggested that electroacupuncture (EA) could improve POCD. However, the underlying mechanisms EA’s regulatory role of inflammasomes remain unclear. Methods The model POCD was established by partial hepatectomy surgery 18‐month mice or without postoperative EA treatment to Baihui acupoint (GV20) for 7 days. Cognitive functions were...

Abstract Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease, which affects more and people. But there still no effective treatment for preventing or reversing the progression of disease. Soluble amyloid-beta (A β ) oligomers, also known as A -derived diffusible ligands (ADDLs) play an important role in AD. Synaptic activity cognition critically depend on function glutamate receptors. Targeting N -methyl- D -aspartic acid (NMDA) receptors trafficking its regulation new...
