The up-regulation of preprodynorphin mRNA in trigeminoparabrachial neurons after inflammation

Inflammation of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) produces an increase in preprodynorphin (PPD) mRNA expression in the spinal trigeminal nucleus (Vsp) and paratrigeminal nucleus (Pa5) of the rat. In this study, we further demonstrated that a portion of the TMJ inflammation-induced PPD mRNA positive neurons in the Vsp and Pa5 projected to the parabrachial nucleus (PB). In inflamed rats, the percentage of trigemino- and paratrigeminoparabrachial neurons with up-regulation of PPD mRNA was significantly increased in the ipsilateral Vsp (5.7+/-1.8%) and Pa5 (22.8+/-7.4%, n = 3) when compared with the contralateral side and with saline-treated controls (p < 0.05). These results suggest that the selective up-regulation of PPD mRNA in the Vsp and Pa5 following TMJ inflammation involves ascending trigeminal nociceptive pathways.

Determination of heavy metals in water using an FTO electrode modified with CeO2/rGO nanoribbons prepared by an electrochemical method

The rGO/CeO₂/FTO nanocomposite modified electrode was prepared by an electrochemical method. A simple and highly sensitive electrochemical sensing platform for electrochemical rGO and modified CeO₂ nanoribbons directly on FTO electrodes was developed. Simultaneous determination of Pb²⁺ and Cd²⁺ used the differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry (DPASV) method. The method was simple to operate, and CeO₂ nanobelts could be obtained simultaneously by electrodeposition and reduction of GO without further processing. This is an environmentally friendly electrochemical method to obtain modified electrodes under mild conditions. The experimental results showed that the linear calibration curves of Pb²⁺ and Cd²⁺ are 1–300 and 0.2–500 μg L⁻¹, respectively. At the same time, no interference from other coexisting metal ions was found during the detection process, which proved that the modified electrode had good stability and repeatability.

Improved nitrogen reduction activity of NbSe2 tuned by edge chirality

Efficient catalysts for the electroreduction of N₂ to NH₃ are of paramount importance for sustainable ammonia production. Recently, it was reported that NbSe₂ nanosheets exhibit an excellent catalytic activity for nitrogen reduction under ambient conditions. However, existing theoretical calculations suggested an overpotential over 3.0 V, which is too high to interpret the experimental observations. To reveal the underlying mechanism of the high catalytic activity, in this work, we assessed NbSe₂ edges with different chirality and Se vacancies by using first principles calculations. Our results show that N₂ can be efficiently reduced to NH₃ on a pristine zigzag edge via the enzymatic pathway with an overpotential of 0.45 V. Electronic structure analysis demonstrates that the N₂ molecule is activated by the back-donation mechanism. The efficient tuning of the local chemical environments by edge chirality provides a promising approach for catalyst design.

The zigzag edge of the NbSe₂ monolayer exhibits an overpotential as low as 0.45 V along the enzymatic pathway.     

特发性视神经炎患者视盘及黄斑区血流密度的定量研究

目的：评估特发性视神经炎(ON)患者的患眼和未受累对侧眼的视盘及黄斑的血流密度改变情况,为特发性ON的治疗和随访提供一定的临床指导。

方法：横断面研究。收集2019-12/2021-12于扬州大学附属苏北人民医院眼科确诊的初次发病且病程≤3 mo的单眼特发性ON患者16例,分为患眼组16眼与未受累对侧眼组16眼,另收集性别、年龄相匹配的健康者20例20眼作为对照组。所有眼均行视盘区4.5 mm×4.5 mm及黄斑区6 mm×6 mm光相干断层扫描血管成像(OCTA)检查,收集视盘区及黄斑区各血流指标,并对三组间各指标进行对比及分析。

结果：与对照组及未受累对侧眼组相比,ON患眼组视盘全区域及视盘周围各分区毛细血管、全部血管血流密度均降低(P<0.05)。与未受累对侧眼组相比,ON患眼黄斑区整体及中心凹周围全部分区SCP血流密度均显著降低(P<0.05),旁中心凹SCP血流密度仅在上半侧及上侧分区显著降低(P<0.05)。与对照组相比,ON患眼组黄斑中心凹周围下半侧、鼻侧、下侧SCP密度降低(均P<0.05)。与对照组相比,未受累对侧眼组黄斑区整体及各分区SCP血流密度均增加(P<0.05),旁中心凹SCP血流密度增加(P<0.05),但下半侧、鼻侧分区改变无统计学差异(P>0.05),中心凹周围SCP血流密度增加仅在上半侧及上侧分区有统计学意义(P<0.05)。

结论：病程3 mo以内的ON患者会出现视盘周围各分区血管密度的降低和黄斑中心凹周围部分分区SCP血流密度的降低,同时伴随着对侧眼黄斑区部分分区的SCP血流密度的增加。
