Caveolin Scaffolding Domain (CSD) Peptide LTI-2355 Modulates the Phagocytic and Synthetic Activity of Lung-Derived Myeloid Cells in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) and Post-Acu... by Brecht Creyns, BreAnne MacKenzie, Yago Amigo Pinho Jannini Sa, Ana Lucia Coelho, Dale Christensen, Tanyalak Parimon, Brian Windsor, Cory M. Hogaboam

“…The uptake of pathogen-coated bioparticles was impaired in myeloid cells from both fibrotic patient groups independent of the type of pathogen, highlighting an intrinsic functional cell impairment. LTI-2355 improved the phagocytic activity of both IPF and PASC-F myeloid cells, and this improvement was paired with decreased proinflammatory and pro-fibrotic synthetic activity. …”

Tempol, an intracellular antioxidant, inhibits tissue factor expression, attenuates dendritic cell function, and is partially protective in a murine model of cerebral malaria. by Ivo M B Francischetti, Emile Gordon, Bruna Bizzarro, Nidhi Gera, Bruno B Andrade, Fabiano Oliveira, Dongying Ma, Teresa C F Assumpção, José M C Ribeiro, Mirna Pena, Chen-Feng Qi, Ababacar Diouf, Samuel E Moretz, Carole A Long, Hans C Ackerman, Susan K Pierce, Anderson Sá-Nunes, Michael Waisberg

“…Mechanistically, treated mice had lowered plasma levels of MCP-1, suggesting that Tempol downmodulates EC function and vascular inflammation. Tempol also diminished blood brain barrier permeability associated with CM when started at day 4 post infection but not at day 1, suggesting that ROS production is tightly regulated. …”

Modelling dynamic transitions in neurological functional disability in patients with intracerebral haemorrhage: a prospective cohort study using a multistate Markov model by Ke Ma, Yang Song, Zheng Yan, Dezhi Kang, Shuna Huang, Shaowei Lin, Siying Wu, Minghuan Liu, Shiying Lin, Jialiang Xu, Xiaowan Zhou, Hang Zeng, Huangyuang Li, Xiao-Xu Xie

“…A person with no disability post-ICH can expect to spend 19.42 (12.87~29.30) months in that state, and 9.99 (8.39~11.89) months in state S2 and 8.87 (7.79~10.09) months in state 3 during their lifetime.Conclusions In the year following treatment and discharge, the neurological functional disability of most patients with ICH tends to remain stable. …”

Effect of Repetitive Peripheral Magnetic Stimulation Combined with Task-Oriented Training on Motor Function and Motor Evoked Potential of Upper Limbs in Stroke Patients by YUAN Fei, YUAN Aihong, TANG Youbin, LIU Youxiang, TONG Hongmei

“…The Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) was used to evaluate the muscle tone of elbow flexor and wrist flexor muscles before and after treatment; the short-form Fugl-Meyer Assessment for Upper Extremity (FMA-UE) scale was used to evaluate the upper limb motor function of patients; the Modified Barthel Index (MBI) was used to assess the patients' activities of daily living; and the MEP amplitude and latency of the abductor pollicis brevis muscle on the affected side were measured to evaluate the excitability of the cerebral cortex on the affected hemisphere.Results(1) Comparison of muscle tone of the elbow flexor and wrist flexor muscles: Compared with pre-treatment, MAS scores of the upper limb elbow flexor and wrist flexor muscles decreased after treatment in both groups (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05); compared with the control group, MAS scores of the elbow flexor and wrist flexor muscles in the experimental group decreased more significantly after treatment (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05). (2) Comparison of upper limb motor function: Compared with pre-treatment, FMA-UE scores increased after treatment in the two groups (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05); compared with the control group, FMA-UE score increased more significantly in the experimental group after treatment (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05). (3) Comparison of activities of daily living: Compared with pre-treatment, MBI scores of the two groups increased after treatment (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05); compared with the control group, MBI score of the experimental group increased more significantly after treatment (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05). (4) Comparison of excitability in the cerebral cortex of patients: Compared with pre-treatment, MEP amplitude of abductor pollicis brevis muscle on the affected side increased (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05) and the latency period shortened (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05) in both groups after treatment; compared with the control group, the experimental group had a significantly larger MEP amplitude and shorter latency of abductor pollicis brevis muscle on the affected side after treatment (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05).ConclusionrPMS combined with task-oriented training can enhance cortical excitability of the affected hemisphere, reduce upper limb muscle tone, improve upper limb motor function, and improve activities of daily living in post-stroke patients.…”
