Mapping the hippocampal spatial proteomic signature in male and female mice of an early Alzheimer’s disease model by Ana Contreras, Raquel Jiménez-Herrera, Souhail Djebari, Juan D. Navarro-López, Lydia Jiménez-Díaz

“…Abstract Background Hippocampal dysfunction induced by soluble amyloid-β oligomers (oAβ) is an early neuropathological hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). oAβ shifts hippocampal synaptic-plasticity induction threshold facilitating long-term depression (LTD) instead of long-term potentiation (LTP, the functional basis of memory), thereby leading to memory deficits in early AD-like amyloidosis mouse models. …”

A Cohort Study of the Long-Term Influences of SARS-CoV-2 on Kidney Allograft Outcomes in Chinese Recipients: 1-Year Follow-Up Experience by Yisheng Ji, Shuang Fei, Hongsheng Ji, Fan OuYang, Runmin Ding, Li Sun, Hao Chen, Xiaobing Ju, Jun Tao, Zhijian Han, Mulong Du, Zijie Wang, Ruoyun Tan, Min Gu

“…Meta-analysis and subgroup analysis were performed for validation. Results: Exposure of COVID-19 had a significant effect on graft function within 1 year (p < 0.001), and this kind of effect was mostly brought by severer infections in the stratification analysis regarding graft survival rate (p < 0.001), estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) level (p < 0.001), and 1-year eGFR slope (p = 0.014). …”

Kolloid-chemical and biological characteristics perfluorocarbon emulsion by S. I. Vorobyev, Y. N. Potokin, V. G. Cidorenko, N. V. Gorda

“…The emulsion PF, based upon perfluorocarbon, by no means possesses all the properties of normal blood and does not perform all its functions. However, perfluorocarbon drugs, like PF, can be considered a temporal blood substitute that maintain gas transportation, circulating blood volume, oncotic and osmotic pressure, pH and some other physiological parameters in case of blood loss, surgical operations and organ perfusions. …”
