Abstract
Advances in soft materials, miniaturized electronics, sensors, stimulators, radios, and battery-free power supplies are resulting in a new generation of fully implantable organ interfaces that leverage volumetric reduction and soft mechanics by eliminating electrochemical power storage. This device class offers the ability to provide high-fidelity readouts of physiological processes, enables stimulation, and allows control over organs to realize new therapeutic and diagnostic paradigms. Driven by seamless integration with connected infrastructure, these devices enable personalized digital medicine. Key to advances are carefully designed material, electrophysical, electrochemical, and electromagnetic systems that form implantables with mechanical properties closely matched to the target organ to deliver functionality that supports high-fidelity sensors and stimulators. The elimination of electrochemical power supplies enables control over device operation, anywhere from acute, to lifetimes matching the target subject with physical dimensions that supports imperceptible operation. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the basic building blocks of battery-free organ interfaces and related topics such as implantation, delivery, sterilization, and user acceptance. State of the art examples categorized by organ system and an outlook of interconnection and advanced strategies for computation leveraging the consistent power influx to elevate functionality of this device class over current battery-powered strategies is highlighted.

Fan XX, Cao ZY, Liu MX, Liu WJ, Xu ZL, Tu PF, Wang ZZ, Cao L, Xiao W. Diterpene Ginkgolides Meglumine Injection inhibits apoptosis induced by optic nerve crush injury via modulating MAPKs signaling pathways in retinal ganglion cells. JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2021; 279:114371. [PMID: 34181957 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2021.114371] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/22/2021] [Revised: 06/02/2021] [Accepted: 06/23/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Diterpene Ginkgolides Meglumine Injection (DGMI) is made of extracts from Ginkgo biloba L, including Ginkgolides A, B, and K and some other contents, and has been widely used as the treatment of cerebral ischemic stroke in clinic. It can be learned from the "Compendium of Materia Medica" that Ginkgo possesses the effect of "dispersing toxin". The ancient Chinese phrase "dispersing toxin" is now explained as elimination of inflammation and oxidative state in human body. And it led to the original ideas for today's anti-oxidation studies of Ginkgo in apoptosis induced by optic nerve crush injury. AIM OF THE STUDY To investigate the underlying molecular mechanism of the DGMI in retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) apoptosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS TUNEL staining was used to observe the anti-apoptotic effects of DGMI on the adult rat optic nerve injury (ONC) model, and flow cytometry and hoechst 33,342 staining were used to observe the anti-apoptotic effects of DGMI on the oxygen glucose deprivation (OGD) induced RGC-5 cells injury model. The regulation of apoptosis and MAPKs pathways were investigated with Immunohistochemistry and Western blotting. RESULTS This study demonstrated that DGMI is able to decrease the conduction time of F-VEP and ameliorate histological features induced by optic nerve crush injury in rats. Immunohistochemistry and TUNEL staining results indicated that DGMI can also inhibit cell apoptosis via modulating MAPKs signaling pathways. In addition, treatment with DGMI markedly improved the morphological structures and decreased the apoptotic index in RGC-5 cells. Mechanistically, DGMI could significantly inhibit cell apoptosis by inhibiting p38, JNK and Erk1/2 activation. CONCLUSION The study shows that DGMI and ginkgolides inhibit RGCs apoptosis by impeding the activation of MAPKs signaling pathways in vivo and in vitro. Therefore, the present study provided scientific evidence for the underlying mechanism of DGMI and ginkgolides on optic nerve crush injury.

Abstract
Purpose To investigate the induction pattern of various heat shock protein (HSP) in the optic nerve head after thermal stress using transpupillary thermotherapy (TTT) and to determine the dose-response relationship of thermal stress on the induction of various HSP. Methods The 810 nm diode laser with 50 um spot size was aimed to the center of optic nerve head of right eye of Norway brown rats. First, the various exposure powers (100, 120, 140mW) were used with the same exposure duration, 60 seconds, to investigate power dosing effect. Second, the various exposure durations (1, 2, 3, and 5 minutes) were applied under constant 100mW laser power to investigate time dosing effect. Left eyes were served as controls. To quantify HSP expression, enucleation was performed at 24 hours after TTT. HSP 27 and αB-crystallin inductions in optic nerve head were examined with Western blot. Results All type of HSP was observed in normal state. After thermal injury, the expression of HSP 27 were increased, and the αB-crystallin were decreased. Conclusions Induction pattern of each HSP in the optic nerve head were different after thermal injury. Some HSPs were induced or exhausted. Further research is needed on the characteristic functions and induction conditions of each HSP.

Abstract
Hypoxia-induced oxidative stress and disturbed microvascular circulation are both associated with pathogenesis of glaucoma. Ginkgo biloba extract (GBE) has been reported to have positive pharmacological effects on oxidative stress and impaired vascular circulation. This study aimed to investigate the neuroprotective effect of GBE against hypoxic injury to retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) both in vitro and in vivo. The rat RGC line was used, and oxidative stress was induced by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in vitro. EGb 761, a standardized GBE, or vehicle was applied to RGCs. Hypoxic optic nerve injury in vivo was induced by clamping the optic nerve of rats with a "microserrefine clip" with an applicator, which was applied without crushing the optic nerve. This method is different from "optic nerve crush model" and does not involve elevation of intraocular pressure, and may serve as a possible normal tension glaucoma animal model. EGb 761 at various concentrations or vehicle was administered intraperitoneally. RGC density was measured to estimate the survival both in vitro and in vivo. The survival of RGCs was significantly (P < .001) higher upon treatment with 1 or 5 μg/mL of EGb 761 compared with vehicle after oxidative stress in vitro. RGC density upon treatment with EGb 761 of 100 mg/kg (1465.6 ± 175 cells/mm2) or 250 mg/kg (1307.6 ± 213 cells/mm2) was significantly higher (P < .01, P < .05, respectively) than that obtained with vehicle (876.3 ± 136 cells/mm2) in vivo. Our results suggest that GBE has neuroprotective effect on RGCs against hypoxic injury both in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
Optic neuropathy including glaucoma is one of the leading causes of irreversible vision loss, and there are currently no effective therapies. The hallmark of pathophysiology of optic neuropathy is oxidative stress and apoptotic death of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), a population of neurons in the central nervous system with their soma in the inner retina and axons in the optic nerve. We here tested that an anti-apoptotic protein stanniocalcin-1 (STC-1) can prevent loss of RGCs in the rat retina with optic nerve transection (ONT) and in cultures of RGC-5 cells with CoCl2 injury. We found that intravitreal injection of STC-1 increased the number of RGCs in the retina at days 7 and 14 after ONT, and decreased apoptosis and oxidative damage. In cultures, treatment with STC-1 dose-dependently increased cell viability, and decreased apoptosis and levels of reactive oxygen species in RGC-5 cells that were exposed to CoCl2. The expression of HIF-1α that was up-regulated by injury was significantly suppressed in the retina and in RGC-5 cells by STC-1 treatment. The results suggested that intravitreal injection of STC-1 might be a useful therapy for optic nerve diseases in which RGCs undergo apoptosis through oxidative stress.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To create an animal (rat) model of force percussion injury (FPI) to the optic nerve for clinical and experimental research. METHODS Seventy-one healthy female Wister rats, with no ocular disorders, were used in this study. Sixty-six rats were subjected to bilateral blunt trauma to the eyes via FPI; five rats were not subjected to trauma. According to the degree of optic nerve injury, injured eyes were divided into two groups: severe optic nerve injury group, with beat pressures of 699.14 ± 60.79 kPa and mild optic nerve injury group, with beat pressures of 243.18 ± 20.26 kPa. Eight rats were examined using flash visual-evoked potential (F-VEP) monitoring and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) before, 1 and 3 days, and 1, 2, 4, 6, and 8 weeks after optic nerve injury. Fifty-six rats were examined by histopathology and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL) assay for apoptosis at 1 and 3 days, and 1, 2, 4, 6, and 8 weeks after optic nerve injury. Two rats were examined by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) 4 and 8 weeks after optic nerve injury. The presence or absence of optic nerve injury was evaluated in all trauma eyes. RESULTS Latency was prolonged in the severe injury group compared with controls 1 day after optic nerve injury (p < .05). Amplitude decreased during the first 2 weeks after optic nerve injury (p < .05) and then stabilized (p > .05). Latency was prolonged in the mild optic nerve injury group compared with controls 1 day after optic nerve injury (p < .05) Amplitude decreased during the first 4 weeks (p < .05) following injury and then stabilized (p > .05). As measured by MRI, an abnormally high signal was seen 1 day after injury and remained significantly high 8 weeks after injury. A ruptured capillary was detected in the ganglion cell layer (GCL) 1 day after injury. Acellular regions in the ganglion cell layer were observed 4 weeks after optic nerve injury. TUNEL-positive cells were present in each layer of the retina 3 days after injury. The number of TUNEL-positive cells began to increase 1-2 weeks after injury, and then gradually decreased 4 weeks after injury (p < .05). CONCLUSION We successfully created a reproducible experimental animal (rat) model of optic nerve injury using FPI. Optic nerve injury was demonstrated by F-VEP and MRI, and confirmed histologically. Our model is a simple, reliable, reproducible, and stable tool for use in investigations on the mechanism(s) of and treatment for optic nerve injury.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The concept that optic nerve fiber loss might be reduced by neuroprotection arose in the mid 1990s. The subsequent research effort, focused mainly on rodent models, has not yet transformed into a successful clinical trial, but provides mechanistic understanding of retinal ganglion cell death and points to potential therapeutic strategies. This review highlights advances made over the last year. RECENT FINDINGS In excitotoxicity and axotomy models retinal ganglion cell death has been shown to result from a complex interaction between retinal neurons and Müller glia, which release toxic molecules including tumor necrosis factor alpha. This counteracts neuroprotection by neurotrophins such as nerve growth factor, which bind to p75NTR receptors on Müller glia stimulating the toxic release. Another negative effect against neurotrophin-mediated protection involves the action of LINGO-1 at trkB brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) receptors, and BDNF neuroprotection is enhanced by an antagonist to LINGO-1. As an alternative to pharmacotherapy, retinal defences can be stimulated by exposure to infrared radiation. SUMMARY The mechanisms involved in glaucoma and other optic nerve disorders are being clarified in rodent models, focusing on retrograde degeneration following axonal damage, excitotoxicity and inflammatory/autoimmune mechanisms. Neuroprotective strategies are being refined in the light of the mechanistic understanding.
