Abstract
OBJECTIVES Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by cognitive impairment. This situation imposes a great burden on individuals, both economically and socially. Today, an effective method for treating the disease and protective approach to tau accumulation has not been developed yet. Studies have been conducted on the effects of hesperidin and naringin flavonoids found in citrus fruits on many diseases. METHODS In this review, the pathophysiology of AD is defined, and the effects of hesperidin and naringin on these factors are summarized. RESULTS Studies have shown that both components may potentially affect AD due to their antioxidative and anti-inflammatory properties. Based on these effects of the components, it has been shown that they may have ameliorative effects on Aβ, α-synuclein aggregation, tau pathology, and cognitive functions in the pathophysiology of AD. DISCUSSION There are studies suggesting that hesperidin and naringin may be effective in the prevention/treatment of AD. When these studies are examined, it is seen that more studies should be conducted on the subject.

Abstract
Introduction Sevoflurane is the most commonly used general anesthetic in pediatric surgery, but it has the potential to be neurotoxic. Previous research found that long-term or multiple sevoflurane exposures could cause cognitive deficits in newborn mice but not adult mice, whereas short-term or single inhalations had little effect on cognitive function at both ages. The mechanisms behind these effects, however, are unclear. Methods In the current study, 6- and 60-day-old C57bl mice in the sevoflurane groups were given 3% sevoflurane plus 60% oxygen for three consecutive days, each lasting 2 hours, while those in the control group only got 60% oxygen. The cortex tissues were harvested on the 8th or 62nd day. The tandem mass tags (TMT)pro-based quantitative proteomics combined with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analysis, Golgi staining, and western blotting analysis were applied to analyze the influences of multiple sevoflurane anesthesia on the cerebral cortex in mice with various ages. The Morris water maze (MWM) test was performed from postnatal day (P)30 to P36 or P84 to P90 after control or multiple sevoflurane treatment. Sevoflurane anesthesia affected spatial learning and memory and diminished dendritic spines primarily in newborn mice, whereas mature animals exhibited no significant alterations. Results A total of 6247 proteins were measured using the combined quantitative proteomics methods of TMTpro-labeled and LC-MS/MS, 443 of which were associated to the age-dependent neurotoxic mechanism of repeated sevoflurane anesthesia. Furthermore, western blotting research revealed that sevoflurane-induced brain damage in newborn mice may be mediated by increasing the levels of protein expression of CHGB, PTEN, MAP2c, or decreasing the level of SOD2 protein expression. Conclusion Our findings would help to further the mechanistic study of age-dependent anesthetic neurotoxicity and contribute to seek for effective protection in the developing brain under general anesthesia.

Abstract
The world population is rapidly aging. This should cause us to reflect on the need to develop a new nutritional approach to mitigate the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS)-induced damage. A randomized, double blind, controlled study was carried out on 60 elderly male and female subjects. Product efficacy was measured before and after 2 and 8 weeks of product intake. The reduced (GSH) and oxidized (GSSG) glutathione concentrations in the erythrocytes and the reactive oxygen metabolites (d-ROMs) hematic concentration were measured to assess the antioxidant efficacy. The tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) levels in the serum were measured to assess the anti-inflammatory effectiveness. The wellbeing was assessed by Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) questionnaire (male) and by Menopause Rating Scale (MRS) (female). Blood, urine analysis and electrocardiography (ECG) were carried out to assess the product's safety. The results showed that GSH/GSSG ratio increased by 22.4% and 89.0% after 2 and 8 weeks of product intake. Serum TNF-α levels decreased by 2.5% after 8 weeks of product intake. The SF-36 QoL and the MRS questionnaire outputs indicate, preliminarily, a positive effect of the extract intake in ameliorating the wellbeing of both male and female subjects. The product was well-tolerated. Our findings suggest that the test product has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory efficacy and has a positive effect on the wellbeing of elderly female and male subjects.

Abstract
Evidence has shown that suppression of the activation of NLRP3 inflammasome could ameliorate surgery/sevoflurane (SEV)-induced post-operative cognitive dysfunction (POCD). However, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. UAF1 acts as a binding partner of USP1, which inhibits the ubiquitination-mediated degradation of NLRP3, indicating that UAF1 may be implicated in POCD through regulating the NLRP3 inflammasome. Here, we studied the role of UAF1/NLRP3 in SEV-induced cognitive impairment and neurotoxicity in rats. Neonatal rats were randomly divided into control, SEV, SEV+AAV-shNC and SEV+AAV-shUAF1 (UAF1-downregulated) groups. Morris water maze (MWM) test was applied to assess cognitive impairment. TUNEL staining, qRT-PCR and ELISA were used to assess the apoptosis and inflammation markers, respectively. The levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and malondialdehyde (MDA) were quantified to determine oxidative stress. The results showed that SEV treatment led to significant cognitive impairment, increased apoptosis in hippocampal tissues, upregulation of MDA and inflammatory factors (TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-18), as well as a decrease in SOD and CAT levels. All of the above observations were reversed by UAF1 downregulation. Furthermore, depletion of UAF1 neutralized SEV-mediated increase in p-NLRP3, p-IκBα and p-p65 levels. Altogether, the current study demonstrated that knockdown of UAF1 could alleviate SEV-induced cognitive impairment and neurotoxicity in rats by inhibiting pro-inflammatory signaling and oxidative stress.

Abstract
Hesperidin and hesperetin are flavonoids that are abundantly present as constituents of citrus fruits. These compounds have attracted attention as several computational methods, mostly docking studies, have shown that hesperidin may bind to multiple regions of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) (spike protein, angiotensin-converting enzyme 2, and proteases). Hesperidin has a low binding energy, both with the SARS-CoV-2 “spike” protein responsible for internalization, and also with the “PLpro” and “Mpro” responsible for transforming the early proteins of the virus into the complex responsible for viral replication. This suggests that these flavonoids could act as prophylactic agents by blocking several mechanisms of viral infection and replication, and thus helping the host cell to resist viral attack.

Abstract
Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a subtype of stroke with high mortality and morbidity due to the lack of effective therapies. The alpha‑amino‑3‑hydroxy‑5‑methyl‑4‑isoxazolepropionic acid receptor antagonist perampanel has been reported to alleviate early brain injury following subarachnoid hemorrhage and traumatic brain injury by reducing reactive oxygen species, apoptosis, autophagy, and necroptosis. Necroptosis is a caspase‑independent programmed cell death mechanism that serves a vital role in neuronal cell death following ICH. However, the precise role of necroptosis in perampanel‑mediated neuroprotection following ICH has not been confirmed. The present study aimed to investigate the neuroprotective effects and potential molecular mechanisms of perampanel in ICH‑induced early brain injury by regulating neural necroptosis in C57BL/6 mice and in a hemin‑induced neuron damage cell culture model. Mortality, neurological score, brain water content, and neuronal death were evaluated. The results demonstrated that perampanel treatment increased the survival rate and neurological score, and increased neuron survival. In addition, perampanel treatment downregulated the protein expression levels of receptor interacting serine/threonine kinase (RIP) 1, RIP3, and mixed lineage kinase domain like pseudokinase, and of the cytokines IL‑1β, IL‑6, TNF‑α, and NF‑κB. These results indicated that perampanel‑mediated inhibition of necroptosis and neuroinflammation ameliorated neuronal death in vitro and in vivo following ICH. The neuroprotective capacity of perampanel was partly dependent on the PTEN pathway. Taken together, the results of the present study demonstrated that perampanel improved neurological outcomes in mice and reduced neuronal death by protecting against neural necroptosis and neuroinflammation.

Abstract
Neuroinflammation is a key process in the pathogenesis of many neurological disorders, i.e. Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. However, there are no anti-inflammatory medical interventions recommended so far in the treatment of neuroinflammation-related brain disorders. Therefore, the burden of searching for effective and safe antineuroinflammatory agents is well founded, especially in the aging society. Compounds of plant origin, mainly (poly)phenols, have attracted considerable attention in recent years. Notably, the role of flavonoids in ameliorating neuroinflammation is in the limelight. Thus, we used comprehensive literature retrieval to summarize the effects and active components of edible fruits and their phenolic compounds. As a result, this review presents a valuable summary of results of in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo studies on the antineuroinflammatory effects of edible fruits and their (poly)phenolic extracts as well as dietary flavonoids and other selected (poly)phenols based on the detailed description of foregoing studies. Additionally, problems resulting from the limited bioavailability of (poly)phenols were discussed.

Abstract
Background: Depression is a burdensome psychiatric disorder presenting with disordered inflammation and neural plasticity. We conducted this study with an aim to explore the effect of stanniocalcin-1 (STC1) on inflammation and neuron injury in rats with depression-like behaviors. Methods: A model of depression-like behaviors was established in Wistar rats by stress stimulation. Adeno-associated virus (AAV)-packaged STC1 overexpression sequence or siRNA against STC1 was introduced into rats to enhance or silence the STC1 expression. Moreover, we measured pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory proteins, superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), malondialdehyde (MDA) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. An in vitro model was induced in hippocampal neurons by CORT to explore the effect of STC1 on the neuron viability, toxicity and apoptosis. RT-qPCR and Western blot assay were employed to determine the expression of STC1 and nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) signaling pathway-related genes. Results: STC1 was under-expressed in the hippocampus of rats with depression-like behaviors, while its overexpression could reduce the depression-like behaviors in the stress-stimulated rats. Furthermore, overexpression of STC1 resulted in enhanced neural plasticity, reduced release of pro-inflammatory proteins, elevated SOD and CAT and diminished MDA level in the hippocampus of rats with depression-like behaviors. Overexpressed STC1 blocked the ROS/NF-κB signaling pathway, thereby enhancing the viability of CORT-treated neurons while repressing their toxicity and apoptosis. Conclusion: Collectively, overexpression of STC1 inhibits inflammation and protects neuron injury in rats with depression-like behaviors by inactivating the ROS/NF-κB signaling pathway.
