A range of sleep disorders has the potential to adversely affect cognitive function. This study was undertaken with the objective of investigating the effects of ozone rectal insufflation (O3-RI) on cognitive dysfunction induced by chronic REM sleep deprivation, as well as elucidating possible underlying mechanisms. O3-RI ameliorated cognitive dysfunction in chronic REM sleep deprived mice, improved the neuronal damage in the hippocampus region and decreased neuronal loss. Administration of O3-RI may protect against chronic REM sleep deprivation induced cognitive dysfunction by reversing the abnormal expression of Occludin and leucine-rich repeat and pyrin domain-containing protein 3 inflammasome as well as interleukin-1β in the hippocampus and colon tissues. Moreover, the microbiota diversity and composition of sleep deprivation mice were significantly affected by O3-RI intervention, as evidenced by the reversal of the Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes abundance ratio and the relative abundance of the Bacteroides genus. In particular, the relative abundance of the Bacteroides genus demonstrated a pronounced correlation with cognitive impairment and inflammation. Our findings suggested that O3-RI can improve cognitive dysfunction in sleep deprivation mice, and its mechanisms may be related to regulating gut microbiota and alleviating inflammation and damage in the hippocampus and colon.

There is strong evidence connecting increased serum lipid levels to cardiovascular disorders, including atherosclerosis. Statins is prescribed as the primary medication to decrease lipid levels. Recent research has demonstrated that hydrogen possesses anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties by modulating the expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator-1α, ultimately leading to the preservation of lipid homeostasis. Magnesium hydride (MgH2) is a prolonged stable hydrogen storage medium, which can be utilized to investigate its synergistic lipid-lowering effect with statins and its detailed molecular mechanism, both in vivo and in vitro. To ascertain the safety and efficacy of MgH2, we executed a comprehensive research of its influence on both physiological and pathological metrics. We noted a substantial diminution in lipid levels when MgH2 was integrated with atorvastatin, as attested by oil red staining. Furthermore, we scrutinized the regulatory effect of MgH2 on cytochrome P450 3A, which is a metabolic enzyme of statins, and discovered that it could be reduced by the MgH2. Concluding from our results, we propose that MgH2 inhibits the expression of cytochrome P450 3A in the liver and exerts an auxiliary lipid-lowering effect by increasing the blood concentration of statins. By augmenting our comprehension of MgH2's role in ameliorating lipid metabolism, we aspire to develop more promising therapies in the future.

Erector spinae plane block is a recently introduced block with a wide range of indications. The aim of the present study was to assess the efficacy and safety of ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane block on early post-operative pain relief in patients undergoing modified radical mastectomy. We conducted a prospective, randomized, controlled study in a tertiary care institute. Sixty-five patients were enrolled. Final analysis was performed on 58 patients randomized into two groups. Ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane block with 25 mL of 0.25% bupivacaine was given using a 18 gauge needle. No block was given in the other group. All patients received general anesthesia. Primary outcome measure was 24-hour analgesic consumption. Secondary outcome measures included intra-operative fentanyl consumption, time to first analgesic request, Visual Analog Scale score, nausea score, sedation score, wound quality and patient satisfaction score. Post-operative additional analgesics and intra-operative fentanyl were significantly reduced in patients receiving erector spinae plane block. Time to rescue analgesia was significantly delayed. Visual Analog Scale score was significantly lower at all time intervals. Post-operative nausea at various time intervals was also less. Patient satisfaction score was also noted on a 5-point scale and there was a statistical significant difference. We concluded that erector spinae plane block is a safe technique and provides good analgesia in breast surgery.
