Dopaminergic modulation of propofol-induced activation in VLPO neurons: the role of D1 receptors in sleep-promoting neural circuits by Kun Qian, Kun Qian, Yu Zhang, Yang Liu, Sisi Wu, Zikun Duan, Jianhao Liao, Jianhao Liao, Wei Luo, Mo Zhou, Xuejiao Dou, Xingkui Liu, Tian Yu

“…BackgroundThe ventrolateral preoptic nucleus (VLPO) is a crucial regulator of sleep, and its neurons are implicated in both sleep-wake regulation and anesthesia-induced loss of consciousness. Propofol (PRO), a widely used intravenous anesthetic, modulates the activity of VLPO neurons, but the underlying mechanisms, particularly the role of dopaminergic receptors, remain unclear.ObjectiveThis study aimed to investigate the effects of PRO on NA (−) neurons in the VLPO and to determine the involvement of D1 and D2 dopaminergic receptors in mediating these effects.MethodsUsing in vitro patch-clamp techniques, we identified and characterized NA (−) and NA (+) neurons in the VLPO based on their morphological, pharmacological, and electrophysiological properties. …”

Response of Soil Respiration to Snowfall in a Kubuqi Salix Plantation Forest of During Freeze-thaw Period by WANG Jixuan, LAN Xiaozhen, PEI Zhiyong, ZHANG Junyao, WANG Xinping, LI Ying, WANG Haichao, SUN Xiaotian, SUN Kai

“…[Conclusion] Snowfall in winter can provide water for vegetation growth in early spring, and it regulates the carbon budget in arid and semi-arid regions; stubble levelling and land preparation can impede the release of carbon during the freeze-thaw period in arid and semi-arid areas and indirectly slow down the loss of carbon from the soil, thus contributing to the regulation of the carbon budget of the ecosystem.…”
