The social defeat paradigm is the most representative animal model to study social anxiety disorder (SAD) and its underlying neuronal mechanisms. We have previously reported that defeat progressively reduces oxytocin receptors (OXTR) in limbic regions of the brain over an eight-week period in female prairie voles (Microtus ochrogaster). Oxytocin receptors activate the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway, which has been previously associated with the anxiolytic effects of oxytocin. Here, we assessed the functional significance of OXTR in stress-induced social avoidance and the response of the MAPK signaling pathway in the nucleus accumbens (NAc), anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), and basolateral amygdala (BLA) of female prairie voles.In experiment 1, Sexually naïve adult female prairie voles were defeated for three consecutive days and tested a week after for social preference/avoidance (SPA) test. Control subjects were similarly handled without defeat conditioning. In experiment 2, sexually and stress naïve adult female prairie voles were bilaterally injected into the NAc, ACC, or the BLA with a CRISPR/Cas9 virus targeting the Oxtr coding sequence to induce OXTR knockdown. Two weeks post-surgery, subjects were tested for SPA behavior. Viral control groups were similarly handled but injected with a control virus. A subgroup of animals from each condition in both experiments were similarly treated and euthanized without being tested for SPA behavior. Brains were harvested for OXTR autoradiography, western blot analysis of MAPK proteins and quantification of local oxytocin content in the NAc, BLA, ACC, and PVN through ELISA.Social defeat reduced OXTR binding in the NAc and affected MAPK pathway activity and oxytocin availability. These results were region-specific and sensitive to exposure to the SPA test. Additionally, OXTR knockdown in the NAc, ACC, and BLA induced social avoidance and decreased basal MAPK activity in the NAc. Finally, we found that OXTR knockdown in these regions was associated with less availability of oxytocin in the PVN.Dysregulation of the oxytocin system and MAPK signaling pathway in the NAc, ACC, and BLA are important in social behavior disruptions in female voles. This dysregulation could, therefore, play an important role in the etiology of SAD in women.

As a dietary strategy, methionine restriction has been reported to promote longevity and regulate metabolic disorders. However, the role and possible regulatory mechanisms underlying methionine in neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), remain unexplored. This study utilized the data from BXD recombinant inbred (RI) mice to establish a correlation between the AD phenotype in mice and methionine level. Gene enrichment analysis indicated that the genes associated with the concentration of methionine in the midbrain are involved in the dopaminergic synaptic signaling pathway. Protein interaction network analysis revealed that glycogen synthase kinase 3 beta (GSK-3β) was a key regulator of the dopaminergic synaptic pathway and its expression level was significantly correlated with the AD phenotype. Finally, in vitro experiments demonstrated that methionine deprivation could reduce the expression of Aβ and phosphorylated Tau, suggesting that lowering methionine levels in humans may be a preventive or therapeutic strategy for AD. In conclusion, our findings support that methionine is a high risk factor for AD. These findings predict potential regulatory network, theoretically supporting methionine restriction to prevent AD.
据报道，作为一种饮食策略，限制蛋氨酸摄入可促进长寿和调节代谢紊乱。然而，蛋氨酸在阿尔茨海默病（AD）等神经退行性疾病中的作用和可能的调节机制仍有待探索。本研究利用 BXD 重组近交系（RI）小鼠的数据，建立了小鼠 AD 表型与蛋氨酸水平之间的相关性。基因富集分析表明，与中脑蛋氨酸浓度相关的基因参与了多巴胺能突触信号通路。蛋白质相互作用网络分析显示，糖原合成酶激酶3β（GSK-3β）是多巴胺能突触通路的关键调控因子，其表达水平与AD表型显著相关。最后，体外实验表明，剥夺蛋氨酸可减少Aβ和磷酸化Tau的表达，这表明降低人体蛋氨酸水平可能是一种预防或治疗AD的策略。总之，我们的研究结果支持蛋氨酸是AD的高危因素。这些发现预测了潜在的调控网络，从理论上支持限制蛋氨酸来预防AD。

Emerging evidence suggests changes in several cognitive control processes in individuals with age-related hearing loss (ARHL). However, value-directed strategic processing, which involves selectively processing salient information based on high value, has been relatively unexplored in ARHL. Our previous work has shown behavioral changes in strategic processing in individuals with ARHL. The current study examined event-related alpha and theta oscillations linked to a visual, value-directed strategic processing task in 19 individuals with mild untreated ARHL and 17 normal hearing controls of comparable age and education.Five unique word lists were presented where words were assigned high- or low-value based on the letter case, and electroencephalography (EEG) data was recorded during task performance.The main effect of the group was observed in early time periods. Specifically, greater theta synchronization was seen in the ARHL group relative to the control group. Interaction between group and value was observed at later time points, with greater theta synchronization for high- versus low-value information in those with ARHL.Our findings provide evidence for oscillatory changes tied to a visual task of value-directed strategic processing in individuals with mild untreated ARHL. This points towards modality-independent neurophysiological changes in cognitive control in individuals with mild degrees of ARHL and adds to the rapidly growing literature on the cognitive consequences of ARHL.

In bronchial ultrasound elastography, accurately segmenting mediastinal lymph nodes is of great significance for diagnosing whether lung cancer has metastasized. However, due to the ill-defined margin of ultrasound images and the complexity of lymph node structure, accurate segmentation of fine contours is still challenging. Therefore, we propose a dual-stream feature-fusion attention U-Net (DFA-UNet). Firstly, a dual-stream encoder (DSE) is designed by combining ConvNext with a lightweight vision transformer (ViT) to extract the local information and global information of images; Secondly, we propose a hybrid attention module (HAM) at the bottleneck, which incorporates spatial and channel attention to optimize the features transmission process by optimizing high-dimensional features at the bottom of the network. Finally, the feature-enhanced residual decoder (FRD) is developed to improve the fusion of features obtained from the encoder and decoder, ensuring a more comprehensive integration. Extensive experiments on the ultrasound elasticity image dataset show the superiority of our DFA-UNet over 9 state-of-the-art image segmentation models. Additionally, visual analysis, ablation studies, and generalization assessments highlight the significant enhancement effects of DFA-UNet. Comprehensive experiments confirm the excellent segmentation effectiveness of the DFA-UNet combined attention mechanism for ultrasound images, underscoring its important significance for future research on medical images.

We recently showed that sub-kilohertz electrical stimulation of the afferent somata in the dorsal root ganglia (DRG) reversibly blocks afferent transmission. Here, we further investigated whether similar conduction block can be achieved by stimulating the nerve trunk with electrical peripheral nerve stimulation (ePNS).We explored the mechanisms and parameters of conduction block by ePNS via ex vivo single-fiber recordings from two somatic (sciatic and saphenous) and one autonomic (vagal) nerves harvested from mice. Action potentials were evoked on one end of the nerve and recorded on the other end from teased nerve filaments, i.e., single-fiber recordings. ePNS was delivered in the middle of the nerve trunk using a glass suction electrode at frequencies of 5, 10, 50, 100, 500, and 1000 Hz.Suprathreshold ePNS reversibly blocks axonal neural transmission of both thinly myelinated Aδ-fiber axons and unmyelinated C-fiber axons. ePNS leads to a progressive decrease in conduction velocity (CV) until transmission blockage, suggesting activity-dependent conduction slowing. The blocking efficiency is dependent on the axonal conduction velocity, with Aδ-fibers efficiently blocked by 50–1000 Hz stimulation and C-fibers blocked by 10–50 Hz. The corresponding NEURON simulation of action potential transmission indicates that the disrupted transmembrane sodium and potassium concentration gradients underly the transmission block by the ePNS.The current study provides direct evidence of reversible Aδ- and C-fiber transmission blockage by low-frequency (<100 Hz) electrical stimulation of the nerve trunk, a previously overlooked mechanism that can be harnessed to enhance the therapeutic effect of ePNS in treating neurological disorders.
我们最近发现，对背根神经节（DRG）传入体的亚千赫电刺激可逆性地阻断传入传导。在此，我们进一步研究了通过外周神经电刺激（ePNS）刺激神经干是否能实现类似的传导阻滞。我们通过从小鼠身上采集的两条躯体神经（坐骨神经和隐神经）和一条自主神经（迷走神经）的体外单纤维记录，探索了 ePNS 传导阻滞的机制和参数。在神经的一端诱发动作电位，在另一端通过挑逗神经丝记录动作电位，即单纤记录、阈上 ePNS 可逆性地阻断髓鞘较薄的 Aδ 纤维轴突和无髓鞘的 C 纤维轴突的轴突神经传导。阻断效率取决于轴突传导速度，50-1000 赫兹的刺激可有效阻断 Aδ 纤维，10-50 赫兹的刺激可阻断 C 纤维。目前的研究提供了低频（<100 Hz）电刺激神经干可逆性阻断 Aδ 和 C 纤维传导的直接证据，这是一种以前被忽视的机制，可以利用它来增强 ePNS 在治疗神经系统疾病方面的疗效。

Epilepsy affects 1% of the global population, with approximately one-third of patients resistant to anti-seizure medications (ASMs), posing risks of physical injuries and psychological issues. Seizure prediction algorithms aim to enhance the quality of life for these individuals by providing timely alerts. This study presents a patient-specific seizure prediction algorithm applied to diverse databases (EPILEPSIAE, CHB-MIT, AES, and Epilepsy Ecosystem). The proposed algorithm undergoes a standardized framework, including data preprocessing, feature extraction, training, testing, and postprocessing. Various databases necessitate adaptations in the algorithm, considering differences in data availability and characteristics. The algorithm exhibited variable performance across databases, taking into account sensitivity, FPR/h, specificity, and AUC score. This study distinguishes between sample-based approaches, which often yield better results by disregarding the temporal aspect of seizures, and alarm-based approaches, which aim to simulate real-life conditions but produce less favorable outcomes. Statistical assessment reveals challenges in surpassing chance levels, emphasizing the rarity of seizure events. Comparative analyses with existing studies highlight the complexity of standardized assessments, given diverse methodologies and dataset variations. Rigorous methodologies aiming to simulate real-life conditions produce less favorable outcomes, emphasizing the importance of realistic assumptions and comprehensive, long-term, and systematically structured datasets for future research.
