Mettl3-m6A-NPY axis governing neuron–microglia interaction regulates sleep amount of mice by Qihang Sun, Jinpiao Zhu, Xingsen Zhao, Xiaoli Huang, Wenzheng Qu, Xia Tang, Daqing Ma, Qiang Shu, Xuekun Li

“…In the present study, we showed that the deficiency of RNA m6A methyltransferase Mettl3 in excitatory neurons specifically induces microglia activation, neuroinflammation and neuronal loss in thalamus of mice. Mettl3 deficiency remarkably disrupts sleep rhythm and reduces the amount of non-rapid eye movement sleep. …”

Modulatory effects of perindopril on cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity in mice: Implication of inflammatory cytokines and caspase-3 mediated apoptosis by Aljuhani Naif, Ismail Raed S., El-Awady Mohammed S., Hassan Memy H.

“…Renal dysfunction was induced in mice by a single injection of cisplatin (10 mg kg−1, i.p.) and perindopril was administered orally (2 mg kg−1, once daily) for 5 days. Perindopril remarkably ameliorated cisplatin-induced perturbations in renal histology, renal levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha, interleukin-6 and interleukin-10, apoptosis-regulating protein expressions (Bax and Bcl2), and partially normalized Bax to Bcl2 ratio and active caspase 3 protein expression. …”

Preparation and Characteristic of PC/PLA/TPU Blends by Reactive Extrusion by Yueyun Zhou, Lifa Luo, Wenyong Liu, Guangsheng Zeng, Yi Chen

“…Moreover, the increased TPU makes the apparent viscosity of blends melt decrease due to the well melt fluidity of TPU; the melt is closer to the pseudoplasticity melt. Remarkably, the transesterification between the components improves the compatibility of blends significantly, and more uniform structure results in a higher crystallinity and better mechanical properties.…”

EGFR-Mutated Lung Adenocarcinoma With Li–Fraumeni Syndrome: The Imperative for Germline Testing in Patients With a Family History, a Case Report by Hiroyuki Fujii, MD, Yusuke Okuma, MD, PhD, Makoto Hirata, MD, PhD, Yuki Shinno, MD, PhD, Tatsuya Yoshida, MD, PhD, Yasushi Goto, MD, PhD, Hidehito Horinouchi, MD, PhD, Noboru Yamamoto, MD, PhD, Yuichiro Ohe, MD, PhD

“…However, CGP provides opportunities for molecular-targeted therapy, but it also unveils incidental germline findings, posing challenges and opportunities in patient care.We present the case of a 32-year-old female patient, diagnosed with stage IVB lung adenocarcinoma harboring an EGFR p.L746_A750del, who was also subsequently diagnosed with Li–Fraumeni syndrome (LFS) through CGP testing. Remarkably, despite the presence of EGFR mutation, the response to EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitor was poor, whereas the response to cytotoxic anticancer drugs and immunotherapy was favorable. …”
