Dendrobium is one of the most important traditional Chinese medicinal foods used to treat age-related disorders. However, it remains unclear whether Dendrobium affects the progression of Alzheimer's disease (AD). In the present study, we investigated the effects of Dendrobium officinale polysaccharides (DOP) on the BV2 microglial cell line and the senescence-accelerated mouse prone 8 (SAMPB) mouse strain. In vitro experiments showed that DOP pretreatment contributed to BV2 cells shifting from proinflammatory to anti-inflammatory phenotypes with enhanced A beta clearance in response to A beta insults. For the in vivo study, mice were chronically treated with DOP in drinking water from 4 to 7 months of age. The results showed that DOP remarkably attenuated cognitive decline in SAMP8 mice. DOP also inhibited the increased hippocarnpal microglial activation in SAMPB mice with downregulation of interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and interleukin-6 (IL-6), while interleukin-10 (IL-10), neprilysin (NEP) and insulin-degrading enzyme (IDE) were upregulated. The accumulation of hippocampal A beta 42 and phosphated Tau proteins in SAMP8 mice was also reduced. Taken together, our data suggest that Dendrobium has the potential to provide neuroprotection against AD-related cognitive impairment via modulation of microglial activation.

Key role of the gut-microbiota-brain axis via the subdiaphragmatic vagus nerve in demyelination of the cuprizone-treated mouse brain

Xingming Wang, Akifumi Eguchi, Yong Yang, Lijia Chang, Xiayun Wan, Jiajing Shan, Youge Qu, Li Ma, Chisato Mori, Jianjun Yang, Kenji Hashimoto

Summary: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a common demyelinating disease that affects the central nervous system. This study investigated the effects of subdiaphragmatic vagotomy (SDV) on demyelination in cuprizone (CPZ)-treated mice and found that SDV significantly improved demyelination and microglial activation in the brain. Analysis of gut microbiota composition and blood metabolites revealed that SDV also improved the abnormal levels in CPZ-treated mice. These findings suggest a link between the gut microbiota-brain axis and demyelination in the brain.

Integrated Proteomic and Phosphoproteomic Analysis of the Hippocampus in a Mouse Model of Early Life Inflammation

Xin-Miao Wu, Yu-Zhu Gao, Ting-Ting Zhu, Han-Wen Gu, Jian-Hua Tong, Jie Sun, Jian-Jun Yang, Mu-Huo Ji

Summary: This study investigated the potential molecular mechanisms of early life inflammation-induced cognitive impairment by conducting proteomic and phosphoproteomic analysis of the hippocampus. It was found that early life lipopolysaccharide (LPS) exposure led to cognitive impairment in male mice but not in female mice. The analysis also revealed that early life LPS exposure affected the glutamatergic synapse and neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction, which are associated with synaptic function and energy metabolism.

Effect of Remimazolam on Postoperative Delirium in Older Adult Patients Undergoing Orthopedic Surgery: A Prospective Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial

Jin-Jin Yang, Lei Lei, Di Qiu, Sai Chen, Jing-Wei Zhao, Yuan -Yuan Mao, Jian-Jun Yang

Summary: This randomized controlled trial aimed to evaluate the relationship between remimazolam and postoperative delirium in older adult patients undergoing orthopedic surgery. The incidence of postoperative delirium in the remimazolam group was 15.6%, while it was 12.4% in the propofol group, with no significant difference observed. Although patients in the remimazolam group had a lower incidence of hypotension and consumed fewer vasoactive drugs intraoperatively, they experienced longer postoperative extubation time and PACU stay.

Summary: Machine learning can predict gastric cancer patients' prognosis, but no studies have explored predicting gastric cancer death based on machine learning using related inflammatory factor variables. In this study, six machine learning algorithms were applied to predict total gastric cancer death after surgery, and the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio, platelet lymphocyte ratio, and age were found to be the most important factors.

Risk of esketamine anesthesia on the emergence delirium in preschool children after minor surgery: a prospective observational clinical study

Sai Chen, Jin-Jin Yang, Yue Zhang, Lei Lei, Di Qiu, Hui-Min Lv, Zhen-Tao Sun, Kenji Hashimoto, Jian-Jun Yang

Summary: This study investigated the effects of a single-dose of esketamine during anesthesia induction on emergence delirium (ED) in preschool children after minor surgery. The study found that the use of esketamine was associated with a higher incidence and score of ED, as well as a longer post-anesthesia care unit stay. However, there were no significant differences in other outcomes between the two groups. Therefore, the use of esketamine in preschool children for minor surgery should be noticed.

Summary: This study found that gut microbiota and microbiome-derived metabolites play important roles in susceptibility versus resilience in rats exposed to inescapable electric stress. The relative abundances of Asaccharobacter, Eisenbergiella, and Klebsiella in the gut microbiota of susceptible rats were significantly higher than that of resilient rats. Additionally, several microbiome and metabolites were found to be significantly altered between susceptible and resilient rats.

Advances in photobiomodulation for cognitive improvement by near-infrared derived multiple strategies

Wei-tong Pan, Pan-miao Liu, Daqing Ma, Jian-jun Yang

Summary: Cognitive function is a crucial ability of the brain, but it can be impaired in various neurological conditions or diseases. Photobiomodulation therapy, a noninvasive physical therapy, has emerged in the field of neuroscience. Transcranial photobiomodulation is commonly used to regulate neural activity in the superficial cortex, while advanced techniques involving photosensitive nanoparticles have been developed to stimulate deeper brain activity. This review examines the mechanisms, advantages, disadvantages, and potential applications of photobiomodulation and its combination with photosensitive nanoparticles on neurons and neural networks. These strategies may offer promising treatments for cognitive improvement.

Dysfunction of NRG1/ErbB4 Signaling in the Hippocampus Might Mediate Long-term Memory Decline After Systemic Inflammation

Yu-zhu Gao, Xin-miao Wu, Zhi-qiang Zhou, Pan-miao Liu, Jian-jun Yang, Mu-huo Ji

Summary: Accumulating evidence suggests that many sepsis survivors experience long-term cognitive impairments after hospital discharge, causing reduced quality of life and burden for their families. This study utilized a mouse model and various techniques to investigate the role of NRG1/ErbB4 signaling, PV interneurons, and hippocampal neural oscillations in memory decline after repeated LPS injections. The results demonstrated that dysfunction of NRG1/ErbB4 signaling in the hippocampus may contribute to the long-term memory decline observed in the systemic inflammation mouse model. Targeting NRG1/ErbB4 signaling in the hippocampus could be a promising approach for preventing and treating this memory decline.

Melanin-like polydopamine nanoparticles mediating anti-inflammatory and rescuing synaptic loss for inflammatory depression therapy

Ting-ting Zhu, He Wang, Han-wen Gu, Ling-sha Ju, Xin-miao Wu, Wei-tong Pan, Ming-ming Zhao, Jian-jun Yang, Pan-miao Liu

Summary: Inflammatory depression is closely related to neuroinflammation. Melanin-like polydopamine nanoparticles (PDA NPs) were synthesized using nano-based drug delivery technology to overcome the low permeability of current anti-inflammatory drugs. PDA NPs, with abundant phenolic hydroxyl groups, showed excellent antioxidative properties and were effective in treating lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammatory depression in mice. PDA NPs reduced inflammation, restored synaptic loss, and exhibited good biocompatibility.

Analyzing neural activity under prolonged mask usage through EEG

Syed Maaz Ahmed Rizvi, Abdul Baseer Buriro, Irfan Ahmed, Abdul Aziz Memon

Summary: This study explores the effects of prolonged mask usage on the human brain by analyzing EEG and physiological parameters. The results show that the mean EEG spectral power in alpha, beta, and gamma sub-bands of individuals wearing masks is smaller than those without masks. The performances on cognitive tasks and oxygen saturation level differ between the two groups, while blood pressure, body temperature, and heart rate are similar. The analysis also reveals that the occipital and frontal lobes exhibit the greatest variability in channel measurements.
