Brain-heart interaction disruption in major depressive disorder: disturbed rhythm modulation of the cardiac cycle on brain transient theta bursts. Eur Arch Psychiatry Clin Neurosci 2024; 274:595-607.

Abstract
Brain neurons support arousal and cognitive activity in the form of spectral transient bursts and cooperate with the peripheral nervous system to adapt to the surrounding environment. However, the temporal dynamics of brain-heart interactions have not been confirmed, and the mechanism of brain-heart interactions in major depressive disorder (MDD) remains unclear. This study aimed to provide direct evidence for brain-heart synchronization in temporal dynamics and clarify the mechanism of brain-heart interaction disruption in MDD. Eight-minute resting-state (closed eyes) electroencephalograph and electrocardiogram signals were acquired simultaneously. The Jaccard index (JI) was used to measure the temporal synchronization between cortical theta transient bursts and cardiac cycle activity (diastole and systole) in 90 MDD patients and 44 healthy controls (HCs) at rest. The deviation JI was used to reflect the equilibrium of brain activity between diastole and systole. The results showed that the diastole JI was higher than the systole JI in both the HC and MDD groups; compared to HCs, the deviation JI attenuated at F4, F6, FC2, and FC4 in the MDD patients. The eccentric deviation JI was negatively correlated with the despair factor scores of the HAMD, and after 4 weeks of antidepressant treatment, the eccentric deviation JI was positively correlated with the despair factor scores of the HAMD. It was concluded that brain-heart synchronization existed in the theta band in healthy individuals and that disturbed rhythm modulation of the cardiac cycle on brain transient theta bursts at right frontoparietal sites led to brain-heart interaction disruption in MDD.

Molecular mechanisms mediate roflumilast protective effect against isoprenaline-induced myocardial injury. Immunopharmacol Immunotoxicol 2023; 45:650-662. [PMID: 37335038 DOI: 10.1080/08923973.2023.2222228] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/27/2022] [Accepted: 06/01/2023] [Indexed: 06/21/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Myocardial necrosis is one of the most common cardiac and pathological diseases. Unfortunately, using the available medical treatment is not sufficient to rescue the myocardium. So that, we aimed in our model to study the possible cardioprotective effect of roflumilast (ROF) in an experimental model of induced myocardial injury using a toxic dose of isoprenaline (ISO) and detecting the role of vascular endothelial growth factor/endothelial nitric oxide synthase (VEGF/eNOS) and cyclic guanosine monophosphate/cyclic adenosine monophosphate/ sirtuin1 (cGMP/cAMP/SIRT1) signaling cascade. MATERIALS AND METHODS Animals were divided into five groups; control, ISO given group (150 mg/kg) i.p. on the 4th and 5th day, 3 ROF co-administered groups in different doses (0.25, 0.5, 1 mg/kg/day) for 5 days. RESULTS Our data revealed that ISO could induce cardiac toxicity as manifested by significant increases in troponin I, creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), malondialdehyde (MDA), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα), and cleaved caspase-3 with toxic histopathological changes. Meanwhile, there were significant decreases in reduced glutathione (GSH), total antioxidant capacity (TAC), VEGF, eNOS, cGMP, cAMP and SIRT1. However, co-administration of ROF showed significant improvement and normalization of ISO induced cardiac damage. CONCLUSION We concluded that ROF successfully reduced ISO induced myocardial injury and this could be attributed to modulation of PDE4, VEGF/eNOS and cGMP/cAMP/SIRT1 signaling pathways with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-apoptotic properties.

Abstract
Background and purposeThe abnormalities in EEG of stroke-patients increase the risk of epilepsy but their significancy for poststroke outcome is unclear. This presented study was aimed at determining the prevalence and nature of changes in EEG recordings from the stroke hemisphere and from the contralateral hemisphere. Another objective was to determine the significance of abnormalities in EEG in the first days of stroke for the post-stroke functional status on the acute and chronic phase of disease.MethodsIn all qualified stroke-patients, EEG was performed during the first 3 days of hospitalization and at discharge. The correlation between EEG abnormalities both in the stroke hemisphere and in the collateral hemisphere with the neurological and functional state in various time points was performed.ResultsOne hundred thirty-one patients were enrolled to this study. Fifty-eight patients (44.27%) had abnormal EEG. The sporadic discharges and generalized rhythmic delta activity were the most common abnormalities in the EEG. The neurological status on the first day and the absence of changes in the EEG in the hemisphere without stroke were the independent factors for good neurological state (0–2 mRS) at discharge. The age-based analysis model (OR 0.981 CI 95% 0.959–1.001, p = 0.047), neurological status on day 1 (OR 0.884 CI 95% 0.82–0.942, p < 0.0001) and EEG recording above the healthy hemisphere (OR 0.607 CI 95% 0.37–0.917, p = 0.028) had the highest prognostic value in terms of achieving good status 90 days after stroke.ConclusionsAbnormalities in EEG without clinical manifestation are present in 40% of patients with acute stroke. Changes in EEG in acute stroke are associated with a poor neurological status in the first days and poor functional status in the chronic period of stroke.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is the most serious manifestation of coronary artery disease. The initial ischemia in AMI causes biochemical and metabolic alterations in cardiomyocytes.
Objectives
The present study aimed to investigate the biomolecular mechanisms underlying cardioprotective effects of diallyl trisulfide (DATS) as well as captopril (CAP) in isoproterenol (ISO) induced AMI focusing on autophagy & PI3K/Akt signaling.
Methods
Seventy male Albino rats were divided into seven groups as follows: Normal control, ISO, ISO + LY294002 (PI3K inhibitor), DATS+ISO, CAP+ISO, DATS+LY294002 + ISO, and CAP+LY294002 + ISO. All treatments (40 mg/kg DATS, 50 mg/kg CAP & 0.3 mg/kg LY294002) were given daily for two weeks before ISO injection (85 mg/kg for 2 days). At the end of the experiment, serum and cardiac tissues were collected. Serum cardiac troponin I (cTnI), and creatine kinase MB (CK-MB) were measured. Cardiac glutathione peroxidase (GSH-px), malondialdehyde (MDA), hypoxia-inducible factor 1 alpha (HIF-1α), autophagy proteins (P62 & LC3IIB) and gene expression of PI3K, Akt, FOXO-1, and eNOS were assessed. Histopathological examination of heart tissue was performed.
Results
DATS and CAP significantly (p < 0.01) decreased serum CK-MB and cTnI, cardiac levels of MDA, HIF-1α, p62 and LC3IIB along with an increase in GSH-px activity compared with ISO group. Moreover, DATS and CAP significantly up-regulated PI3K, Akt, and eNOS gene expression but down-regulated FOXO-1 expression compared to ISO group. However, LY294002 reversed DATS and CAP cardioprotective effects.
Conclusion
DATS and CAP prior treatment proved cardioprotective effects via modulation of autophagy, PI3K/Akt signaling, eNOS and FOXO-1 downregulation in ISO induced AMI rat model.
