Contextual fear memory becomes less context-specific over time, a phenomenon referred to as contextual generalization. Overgeneralization of is core symptom post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), but circuit mechanisms underlying the generalization remain unclear. We show here that neural projections from anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) ventral hippocampus (vHPC) mediate in male mice. Retrieval novel context at remote time point activated cells ACC and vHPC, indicated by significantly...
Stroke usually causes prolonged or lifelong disability, owing to the permanent loss of infarcted tissue. Although a variety stem cell transplantation has been explored improve neuronal defect behavior by enhancing neuroplasticity, it remains unknown whether tissue can be reconstructed. We here cultured human cerebral organoids derived from pluripotent cells (hPSCs) and transplanted them into junction infarct core peri-infarct zone NOD-SCID mice subjected stroke. Months later, we found that...
In this paper, highly selective core–shell molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) of tadalafil on the surface magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) were prepared. Three widely used functional monomers 2-(trifluoromethyl) acrylic acid (TFMAA), (AA), and methacrylic (MAA) compared theoretically as candidates for MIP preparation. MIP-coated (MIP-coated MNPs) showed large adsorption capacity, high recognition ability, fast binding kinetics tadalafil. Furthermore, because good properties, MNPs can achieve...
The incidence of and risk factors for Jarisch-Herxheimer (JH) reaction were investigated prospectively among 240 human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected 115 HIV-uninfected patients with syphilis who received penicillin treatment. overall rate JH was 31.5% (34.6% in HIV-infected 25.2% patients). In multivariate analysis, included high rapid plasma reagin (RPR) titers (per log(2) RPR increase, ratio [RR], 1.19; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.04-1.37), early (RR, 8.59; CI, 4.75-15.56),...
Stroke is a major public health concern. The lack of effective therapies heightens the need for new therapeutic targets. Mammalian brain has ability to rewire itself restore lost functionalities. Promoting regenerative repair, including neurogenesis and dendritic remodeling, may offer strategy treatment stroke. Here, we report that interaction neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) with protein postsynaptic density-95 (PSD-95) negatively controls repair after stroke in rats. Dissociating...
Narrow therapeutic window limits treatments with thrombolysis and neuroprotection for most stroke patients. Widening remains a critical challenge. Understanding the key mechanisms underlying pathophysiological events in peri-infarct area where secondary injury coexists neuroplasticity over days to weeks may offer an opportunity expanding window. Here we show that ischemia-induced histone deacetylase 2 (HDAC2) upregulation from 5 7 d after plays crucial role. In this phase, suppressing HDAC2...
Abstract Anxiety is common in patients suffering from chronic pain. Here, we report anxiety-like behaviors mouse models of pain and reveal that nNOS-expressing neurons ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC) are essential for pain-induced anxiety but not algesia, using optogenetic chemogenetic strategies. Additionally, determined excitatory projections the posterior subregion paraventricular thalamic nucleus (pPVT) provide a neuronal input drives activation vmPFC our models. Our results...
Background Stroke is a leading cause of long‐term disability worldwide. However, current therapies that promote functional recovery from stroke are limited to physical rehabilitation. No pharmacological therapy available. Thus, understanding the role histone deacetylase 2 (HDAC2) in pathophysiological process stroke‐induced loss may provide novel strategy for recovery. Methods and Results Focal was induced by photothrombosis. LV‐HDAC2‐shRNA‐GFP, LV‐GFP, Ad‐HDAC2‐Flag, or...
Background One dose of benzathine penicillin G (BPG) has been recommended for HIV-infected patients with early syphilis (primary, secondary, and latent syphilis) in the sexually transmitted diseases treatment guidelines, but clinical data to support such a recommendation are limited. Methods We prospectively observed serological response 1 or 3 weekly doses BPG adults who sought at 8 hospitals around Taiwan. Rapid plasma reagin (RPR) titers were followed every 3–6 months after treatment. The...
Abstract Mechanisms underlying functional recovery after stroke are little known, and effective drug intervention during the delayed stage is desirable. One potential target, protein–protein interaction between neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) postsynaptic density protein 95 (PSD‐95), critical to acute ischaemic damage neurogenesis. We show that nNOS–PSD‐95 dissociation induced by microinjection of a recombinant fusion protein, Tat‐nNOS‐N 1–133 , or systemic administration...
Stroke is a leading cause of adult disability worldwide, and better drugs are needed to promote functional recovery after stroke. Growing evidence suggests the critical role network excitability during repair phase for stroke recovery. Here, we show that β-hydroxybutyrate (β-HB), an essential ketone body (KB) component, positively correlated with improved outcomes in patients promotes rodents phase. These beneficial effects β-HB depend on HDAC2/HDAC3-GABA transporter 1 (GAT-1)...

Patients receiving hemodialysis treatment face an elevated risk of vascular access infections (VAIs) particularly infection. This heightened attributed to the characteristics enabling it adhere suitable surfaces form biofilms, thereby rendering resistant external interventions complicating efforts. Methods Therefore this study utilized PCR microtiter dish biofilm formation assay...
The molecular mechanism of memory formation remains a mystery. Here, we show that TERT, the catalytic subunit telomerase, gene knockout (Tert-/-) causes extremely poor ability in spatial formation. Knockdown TERT dentate gyrus adult hippocampus impairs processes, while overexpression facilitates it. We find plays critical role neural development including dendritic and neuritogenesis hippocampal newborn neurons. A monosynaptic pseudotyped rabies virus retrograde tracing method shows is...
Abstract Fear extinction depends on N-methyl-D-aspartate glutamate receptors (NMDARs) and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) activation in the limbic system. However, postsynaptic density-95 (PSD-95) neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) coupling, downstream signaling of NMDARs activation, obstructs BDNF transduction. Thus, we wondered distinct roles NMDAR PSD-95-nNOS coupling fear extinction. To explore mechanisms, detected protein-protein interaction using coimmunoprecipitation...
Posttraumatic stress disorder subjects usually show impaired recall of extinction memory, leading to extinguished fear relapses. However, little is known about the neural mechanisms underlying memory. We here that activity dorsal hippocampus (dHPC) infralimbic (IL) cortex circuit essential for memory in male mice. There were functional projections from dHPC IL. Using optogenetic manipulations, we observed silencing dHPC-IL inhibited while stimulating facilitated "Impairment consolidation...
