BACKGROUND: Individuals who survive a cardiac arrest often sustain cognitive impairments due to ischemia-reperfusion injury. Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) transplantation is used to reduce tissue damage, but exosomes are more stable and highly conserved than MSCs. This study was conducted to investigate the therapeutic effects of MSC-derived exosomes (MSC-Exo) on cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in an in vitro model of oxygen-glucose deprivation/reperfusion (OGD/R), and to explore the underlying mechanisms. METHODS: Primary hippocampal neurons obtained from 18-day Sprague-Dawley rat embryos were subjected to OGD/R treatment, with or without MSC-Exo treatment. Exosomal integration, cell viability, mitochondrial membrane potential, and generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) were examined. Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated 2\'-deoxyuridine 5\'-triphosphate nick-end labeling (TUNEL) staining was performed to detect neuronal apoptosis. Moreover, mitochondrial function-associated gene expression, Nrf2 translocation, and expression of downstream antioxidant proteins were determined. RESULTS: MSC-Exo attenuated OGD/R-induced neuronal apoptosis and decreased ROS generation (P<0.05). The exosomes reduced OGD/R-induced Nrf2 translocation into the nucleus (2.14±0.65 vs. 5.48±1.09, P<0.01) and increased the intracellular expression of antioxidative proteins, including superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase (17.18±0.97 vs. 14.40±0.62, and 20.65±2.23 vs. 16.44±2.05, respectively; P<0.05 for both). OGD/R significantly impaired the mitochondrial membrane potential and modulated the expression of mitochondrial function-associated genes, such as PINK, DJ1, LRRK2, Mfn-1, Mfn-2, and OPA1. The abovementioned changes were partially reversed by exosomal treatment of the hippocampal neurons. CONCLUSIONS: MSC-Exo treatment can alleviate OGD/R-induced oxidative stress and dysregulation of mitochondrial function-associated genes in hippocampal neurons. Therefore, MSC-Exo might be a potential therapeutic strategy to prevent OGD/R-induced neuronal injury.

淡漠是以动机丧失为主要特征的一种严重危害身心健康的疾病.近年来研究发现,脑小血管病患者中淡漠的发生比例很高,严重影响患者的日常工作及生活.因脑小血管病淡漠发病过程和机制不明确,缺乏有效的治疗方式,近年来已成为研究的热点.现就淡漠的评估方法、脑小血管病患者淡漠的研究现状及治疗进行综述,以期更好地理解并干预脑小血管病患者的淡漠症状.
脑小血管病(CSVD)的高发病率不仅加重了社会及家庭的负担,也降低了患者本身的生活质量,其严重程度不亚于大血管卒中.CSVD的发生是由众多发病机制共同导致,目前仍未完全阐明.CSVD被认为是认知障碍最常见的病因,且两者存在许多共同的危险因素.因此,现就CSVD及其所致认知障碍的现状、发病机制及危险因素进行概述.
阿尔茨海默病(AD)是一种神经退行性疾病,为痴呆最常见的类型.当前AD发病机制不明,新药研发困难.多年来,临床上一直采用“一分子一靶点”的策略治疗AD,然而效果并不理想,在其他疾病如癌症、艾滋病和结核病中,多靶点药物联合治疗显示出较好的临床获益,而针对AD的药物联合治疗尚处在初步阶段,现从作用机制出发,就这一方面研究进展展开综述.

BACKGROUND: Anemia is prevalent in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and has been linked to impaired outcomes after the procedure. Few studies have evaluated the impact of anemia and new ischemic lesions post TAVR. METHODS:
Radiologic imaging is a diagnostic tool that greatly affects patient outcomes,[1] and with the recent development of imaging technology, advanced imaging tests such as computed tomography (CT) have gained widespread accessibility in hospitals. In particul
