Abstract
Graphene oxide (GO) has been unveiled to exhibit high proton conductivity in a humidified or aqueous environment, making it a promising candidate to construct proton conduction nanochannels. In this work, we systematically investigate how the confinement effect and surface chemistry influence the proton transportation behavior in graphene-based nanochannels via extensive ReaxFF MD simulations. Graphene (GE), graphane (GA), and hydroxygraphane (HG) sheets were employed to mimic the graphitic and functionalized region of GO and construct nanochannels with different interlayer distances. We find that confined water molecules are stratified and their orientation is influenced by the surface chemistry, thus impacting the distribution of protons. Surface chemistry makes the compression of the hydrogen-bond network induced by the confinement effect more variable. The hydrogen-bond network between GE slabs is crushed by extreme confinement and ultrafast proton transportation behavior mainly achieved via vehicle mechanism. Meanwhile, the hydrogen-bond network and solvation structure can be kept more complete with the existence of functional groups. The hydrogen bonds formed with surface functional groups impede the transportation of water molecules but allow more Grotthuss hopping of protons to different extents. Our work clarified the proton transportation mechanism in graphene-based nanochannels with different interlayer distances and surface chemistry and can guide the future design of proton conduction devices such as proton exchange membranes.

Abstract
Two-dimensional clay materials possess superior thermal and chemical stability, and the intrinsic tubular channels in their atomic structure provide possible routes for proton penetration. Therefore, they are expected to overcome the lack of materials that can conduct protons between 100-500 °C. In this work, we investigated the detailed proton penetration mechanism across 2D clay nanosheets with different isomorphic substitutions and counterions using extensive ab initio molecular dynamics and metadynamics simulations. We found that the presence of negative surface charges can dramatically reduce the proton penetration energy barrier to about one-third that of the neutral case, making it a feasible choice for the design of next-generation high-temperature proton exchange membranes. By tuning the isomorphic substitutions, the proton conductivity of single-layer clay materials can be altered.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) graphtetrayne (G4) with intrinsic pattern triangular nanopores has been predicted to be an excellent candidate for next-generation proton exchange membranes due to its superior proton conductivity and selectivity. However, it is technically challenging to prepare a large area single-layer intact 2D material. A multi-layer stacked 2D material is a much more suitable choice, and the stacking can effectively shield the undesired defects and tears. In this work, we investigate the aqueous proton penetration behavior across multilayer-stacked two-dimensional G4 using extensive ReaxFF molecular dynamics simulations. We found that the G4 layers prefer a slightly misplaced stacking pattern which would cause only a slight reduction in the pore size. Detailed analyses indicate that the "water wires" across G4 remain continuous and can provide a low-barrier path for proton penetration until the number of stacking layers increases to three. In triple-layer G4, the "water wires" no longer exist and the aqueous phase will be separated by a wide vacuum area, thus significantly impeding the proton penetration behavior. Based on these results, we suggest that when serving as a proton exchange membrane, the number of stacking G4 layers should be fewer than three to achieve satisfactory conductivity. Our work provides guidance for the fabrication of next-generation proton exchange membranes based on nanoporous 2D materials.

Abstract
Summary
Statistical analysis on networks has received growing attention due to demand from various emerging applications. In dynamic networks, one of the key interests is to model the event history of time-stamped interactions among nodes. We model dynamic directed networks via multivariate counting processes. A pseudo partial likelihood approach is exploited to capture the network dependence structure. Asymptotic results are established. Numerical experiments are performed to demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposal.

Abstract
We investigate aqueous proton penetration behavior across a newly synthesized nanoporous two-dimensional conjugated aromatic polymer (2D-CAP) membrane using extensive ReaxFF reactive molecular dynamics simulations. We found that the proton penetration energy barrier across 2D-CAP is twice as high as that of graphtetrayne, even though 2D-CAP exhibits a larger pore size. Detailed analysis indicates that the anomalous high proton conduction energy barrier of 2D-CAP originates from its unique atomic nanopore structure. The hydrogen atoms at the periphery of the 2D-CAP nanopores can form a stable local hydrogen bond network with water molecules inside or surrounding the nanopores. The mobility of water molecules involved in this local hydrogen bond network will be significantly lowered, and the proton transportation process across the nanopores will thus be impeded. Our results show that the proton penetration behavior across nanoporous 2D materials is influenced not only by the pore size, but also by the decorated atoms or functional groups at the pore edges. Hydrogen atoms at the periphery of nanopores with certain geometry can form a stable local hydrogen bond network with neighboring water molecules, further hampering the proton conductivity.

Abstract
The aim of the study was to test the effect of total sleep deprivation on performance and time-of-day pattern of subjective visual vertical (SVV) and postural control. Nineteen healthy, young participants (4 women and 15 men 21.9 ± 1.2 yr) were engaged in two counterbalanced experimental sessions with or without total sleep deprivation. Oral temperature, Karolinska Sleepiness Scale, and visual analogic scale for fatigue, postural control, and SVV were randomly measured every 4 h, from 0600 to 2200. A linear mixed model was used to capture the effect of time of day and sleep condition as factors. A classical adjusted COSINOR function was then used to modelize this daily variation. After the control night of sleep, SVV as well as oral temperature, sleepiness, and fatigue showed significant time-of-day variation, contrasting with measures of postural control which remained stable across the day. After sleep deprivation, SVV showed no diurnal variation, but its mean deviation value increased by 29%. Postural control capability also decreased after sleep deprivation, with a higher center of pressure surface (+70.4%) and total length (+7.37%) but remained stable throughout the day. These results further confirm the negative effect of sleep loss on postural control capability. Even if a direct relationship cannot be confirmed, the disruption of SVV capacity after sleep deprivation could strongly play a role in postural control capacity changes. Sleep deprivation should be considered as a potent factor involved in balance loss and subsequent fall. NEW & NOTEWORTHY The topic of sleep deprivation and postural control is not understood, with discrepancy among results. This study described that postural control displays a stable level throughout the day and that sleep deprivation, even if it increases postural sway, does not affect this stable diurnal pattern. The modification of the perception of the vertical level after sleep deprivation could strongly play a role in the observed changes in postural control capacity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine if injection of vitamin K3 in an acupuncture point is optimal for the treatment of primary dysmenorrhoea, when compared with 2 other injection treatments. SETTING A Menstrual Disorder Centre at a public hospital in Shanghai, China. PARTICIPANTS Chinese women aged 14-25 years with severe primary dysmenorrhoea for at least 6 months not relieved by any other treatment were recruited. Exclusion criteria were the use of oral contraceptives, intrauterine devices or anticoagulant drugs, pregnancy, history of abdominal surgery, participation in other therapies for pain and diagnosis of secondary dysmenorrhoea. Eighty patients with primary dysmenorrhoea, as defined on a 4-grade scale, completed the study. Two patients withdrew after randomisation. INTERVENTIONS A double-blind, double-dummy, randomised controlled trial compared vitamin K3 acupuncture point injection to saline acupuncture point injection and vitamin K3 deep muscle injection. Patients in each group received 3 injections at a single treatment visit. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOME MEASURES The primary outcome was the difference in subjective perception of pain as measured by an 11 unit Numeric Rating Scale (NRS). Secondary measurements were Cox Pain Intensity and Duration scales and the consumption of analgesic tablets before and after treatment and during 6 following cycles. RESULTS Patients in all 3 groups experienced pain relief from the injection treatments. Differences in NRS measured mean pain scores between the 2 active control groups were less than 1 unit (-0.71, CI -1.37 to -0.05) and not significant, but the differences in average scores between the treatment hypothesised to be optimal and both active control groups (1.11, CI 0.45 to 1.78) and (1.82, CI 1.45 to 2.49) were statistically significant in adjusted mixed-effects models. Menstrual distress and use of analgesics were diminished for 6 months post-treatment. CONCLUSIONS Acupuncture point injection of vitamin K3 relieves menstrual pain rapidly and is a useful treatment in an urban outpatient clinic. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT00104546; Results.

Abstract
Primary graft failure is the major cause of mortality in infant HTx. The aim of this study was to characterize the indication and outcomes of infants requiring ECMO support due to primary graft failure after HTx. We performed a retrospective review of all infants (<1 yr) who underwent Htx from three institutions. From 1999 to 2008, 92 infants (<1 yr) received Htx. Sixteen children (17%) required ECMO after Htx due to low cardiac output syndrome. Eleven (69%) infants were successfully weaned off ECMO, and 9 (56%) infants were discharged with a mean follow-up of 2.3 ± 2.5 yr. Mean duration of ECMO in survivors was 5.4 days (2-7 days) compared with eight days (2-10 days) in non-survivors (p = NS). The five-yr survival rate for all patients was 75%; however, the five-yr survival rate was 40% in the ECMO cohort vs. 80% in the non-ECMO cohort (p = 0.0001). Graft function within one month post-Htx was similar and normal between ECMO and non-ECMO groups (shortening fraction = 42 ± 3 vs. 40 ± 2, p = NS). For infants, ECMO support for primary graft failure had a lower short-term and long-term survival rate vs. non-ECMO patients. Duration of ECMO did not adversely impact graft function and is an acceptable therapy for infants after HTx for low cardiac output syndrome.

Abstract
Epigenetic mechanisms have important roles in carcinogenesis. We certified that the mRNA translation-related gene cytoplasmic polyadenylation element-binding protein 1 (CPEB1) is hypomethylated and overexpressed in glioma cells and tissues. The knockdown of CPEB1 reduced cell senescence by regulating the expression or distribution of p53 in glioma cells. CPEB1 is also regulated directly by the tumor suppressor miR-101, a potential marker of glioma. It is known that the histone methyltransferase enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) and embryonic ectoderm development (EED) are direct targets of miR-101. We demonstrated that miR-101 downregulated the expression of CPEB1 through reversing the methylation status of the CPEB1 promoter by regulating the presence on the promoter of the methylation-related histones H3K4me2, H3K27me3, H3K9me3 and H4K20me3. The epigenetic regulation of H3K27me3 on CPEB1 promoter is mediated by EZH2 and EED. EZH2 has a role in the regulation of H3K4me2. Furthermore, the downregulation of CPEB1 induced senescence in a p53-dependent manner.

Abstract
Visceral adipose inflammation mediated by innate and adaptive immune alterations plays a critical role in diet-induced obesity and insulin resistance (IR). The dietary supplement α-lipoic acid (αLA) has been shown to ameliorate inflammatory processes in macrophages, however the relative significance of these effects in the context of visceral adipose inflammation and IR remain unknown. In this study we investigated its effects via both intraperitoneal and oral administration in lean and obese transgenic mice expressing yellow fluorescent protein (YFP) under control of a monocyte specific promoter (c-fms(YFP+)). αLA significantly improved indices of insulin-resistance concomitant with a decrease in total (YFP(+)CD11b(+)) and activated (YFP(+)CD11b(+)CD11c(+)) visceral adipose tissue macrophages. Histologically, the visceral adipose tissue of obese mice receiving αLA had fewer "crown-like structures," a hallmark of adipose inflammation in murine obesity. Monocyte adhesion assessed by intravital microscopy of cremasteric venules was attenuated by αLA. In cultured WT and toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) null primary mouse macrophages, αLA significantly decreased basal CCR-2, MCP-1 and TNF-α expression levels. LPS treatment resulted in increased TNFα, MCP-1, and IL-6 expression while αLA partially abrogated the LPS effect on MCP-1 and TNFα; Interestingly, CCR-2 was not coordinately regulated. AαLA prevented LPS-induced nuclear factor kappa B (NFκB) activation in the same cultured macrophages. These data suggest that αLA may modulate visceral adipose inflammation, a critical determinant of IR via TLR4 and NF-κB pathways.

Abstract
AbstractLaser induced reactions of Mo(CO)6, CH3CH2OH, and NO adsorbed on Si(111)7 × 7 at 257 and 514 nm were studied and compared with thermally induced reactions under ultrahigh vacuum conditions utilizing laser induced desorption spectroscopy, thermal desorption spectroscopy, high resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy, and Auger electron spectroscopy. By using continuous wave laser irradiation, photolytic effects are clearly distinguished from pyrolytic effects. Mo(CO)6 and CH3CH2OH adsorbed on Si behave similarly as in the gas phase, whereas a substrate-mediated reaction channel is observed for NO adsorbed on Si.

Abstract
We have evaluated the possibility that the action of voluntary exercise on the regulation of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a molecule important for rat hippocampal learning, could involve mechanisms of epigenetic regulation. We focused the studies on the Bdnf promoter IV, as this region is highly responsive to neuronal activity. We have found that exercise stimulates DNA demethylation in Bdnf promoter IV, and elevates levels of activated methyl-CpG-binding protein 2, as well as BDNF mRNA and protein in the rat hippocampus. Chromatin immunoprecipitation assay showed that exercise increases acetylation of histone H3, and protein assessment showed that exercise elevates the ratio of acetylated :total for histone H3 but had no effects on histone H4 levels. Exercise also reduces levels of the histone deacetylase 5 mRNA and protein implicated in the regulation of the Bdnf gene [N.M. Tsankova et al. (2006)Nat. Neurosci., 9, 519-525], but did not affect histone deacetylase 9. Exercise elevated the phosphorylated forms of calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II and cAMP response element binding protein, implicated in the pathways by which neural activity influences the epigenetic regulation of gene transcription, i.e. Bdnf. These results showing the influence of exercise on the remodeling of chromatin containing the Bdnf gene emphasize the importance of exercise on the control of gene transcription in the context of brain function and plasticity. Reported information about the impact of a behavior, inherently involved in the daily human routine, on the epigenome opens exciting new directions and therapeutic opportunities in the war against neurological and psychiatric disorders.

Abstract
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is followed by an energy crisis that compromises the capacity of the brain to cope with challenges, and often reduces cognitive ability. New research indicates that events that regulate energy homeostasis crucially impact synaptic function and this can compromise the capacity of the brain to respond to challenges during the acute and chronic phases of TBI. The goal of the present study is to determine the influence of the phenolic yellow curry pigment curcumin on molecular systems involved with the monitoring, balance, and transduction of cellular energy, in the hippocampus of animals exposed to mild fluid percussion injury (FPI). Young adult rats were exposed to a regular diet (RD) without or with 500 ppm curcumin (Cur) for four weeks, before an FPI was performed. The rats were assigned to four groups: RD/Sham, Cur/Sham, RD/FPI, and Cur/FPI. We found that FPI decreased the levels of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), ubiquitous mitochondrial creatine kinase (uMtCK) and cytochrome c oxidase II (COX-II) in RD/FPI rats as compared to the RD/sham rats. The curcumin diet counteracted the effects of FPI and elevated the levels of AMPK, uMtCK, COX-II in Cur/FPI rats as compared to RD/sham rats. In addition, in the Cur/sham rats, AMPK and uMtCK increased compared to the RD/sham. Results show the potential of curcumin to regulate molecules involved in energy homeostasis following TBI. These studies may foster a new line of therapeutic treatments for TBI patients by endogenous upregulation of molecules important for functional recovery.

Abstract
Clinical evidence indicates that motor training facilitates functional recovery after a spinal cord injury (SCI). Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a powerful synaptic facilitator and likely plays a key role in motor and sensory functions. Spinal cord hemisection decreases the levels of BDNF below the injury site, and exercise can counteract this decrease [Ying Z, Roy RR, Edgerton VR, Gomez-Pinilla F (2005) Exercise restores levels of neurotrophins and synaptic plasticity following spinal cord injury. Exp Neurol 193:411-419]. It is not clear, however, whether the exercise-induced increases in BDNF play a role in mediating the recovery of locomotion after a SCI. We performed a lateral cervical ( approximately C4) hemisection in adult rats. Seven days after hemisection, the BDNF inhibitor trkB IgG was injected into the cervical spinal cord below the lesion ( approximately C5-C6). Half of the rats were exposed to voluntary running wheels for 14 days. Locomotor ability was assessed by determining the symmetry between the contralateral (unaffected) vs. the ipsilateral (affected) forelimb at the most optimum treadmill speed for each rat. Sedentary and exercised rats with BDNF inhibition showed a higher level of asymmetry during the treadmill locomotion test than rats not treated with the BDNF inhibitor. In hemisected rats, exercise normalized the levels of molecules important for synaptic function, such as cyclic AMP response element binding protein (CREB) and synapsin I, in the ipsilateral cervical enlargement, whereas the BDNF blocker lessened these exercise-associated effects. The results indicate that BDNF levels play an important role in shaping the synaptic plasticity and in defining the level of recovery of locomotor performance after a SCI.

Abstract
Omega-3 fatty acids (i.e. docosahexaenoic acid; DHA), similar to exercise, improve cognitive function, promote neuroplasticity, and protect against neurological lesion. In this study, we investigated a possible synergistic action between DHA dietary supplementation and voluntary exercise on modulating synaptic plasticity and cognition. Rats received DHA dietary supplementation (1.25% DHA) with or without voluntary exercise for 12 days. We found that the DHA-enriched diet significantly increased spatial learning ability, and these effects were enhanced by exercise. The DHA-enriched diet increased levels of pro-brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and mature BDNF, whereas the additional application of exercise boosted the levels of both. Furthermore, the levels of the activated forms of CREB and synapsin I were incremented by the DHA-enriched diet with greater elevation by the concurrent application of exercise. While the DHA diet reduced hippocampal oxidized protein levels, a combination of a DHA diet and exercise resulted in a greater reduction rate. The levels of activated forms of hippocampal Akt and CaMKII were increased by the DHA-enriched diet, and with even greater elevation by a combination of diet and exercise. Akt and CaMKII signaling are crucial step by which BDNF exerts its action on synaptic plasticity and learning and memory. These results indicate that the DHA diet enhanced the effects of exercise on cognition and BDNF-related synaptic plasticity, a capacity that may be used to promote mental health and reduce risk of neurological disorders.

Abstract
We have previously shown that the spinal cord is capable of learning a sensorimotor task in the absence of supraspinal input. Given the action of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) on hippocampal learning, the current studies examined the role of BDNF in spinal learning. BDNF is a strong synaptic facilitator and, in association with other molecular signals (e.g. cAMP-response element binding protein (CREB), calcium/calmodulin activated protein kinase II (CaMKII) and synapsin I), important for learning. Spinally transected rats given shock to one hind leg when the leg extended beyond a selected threshold exhibited a progressive increase in flexion duration that minimized shock exposure, a simple form of instrumental learning. Instrumental learning resulted in elevated mRNA levels of BDNF, CaMKII, CREB, and synapsin I in the lumbar spinal cord region. The increases in BDNF, CREB, and CaMKII were proportional to the learning performance. Prior work has shown that instrumental training facilitates learning when subjects are tested on the contralateral leg with a higher response criterion. Pretreatment with the BDNF inhibitor TrkB-IgG blocked this facilitatory effect, as did the CaMKII inhibitor AIP. Intrathecal administration of BDNF facilitated learning when subjects were tested with a high response criterion. The findings indicate that instrumental training enables learning and elevates BDNF mRNA levels within the lumbar spinal cord. BDNF is both necessary, and sufficient, to produce the enabling effect.

Abstract
Synaptic plasticity and behaviors are likely dependent on the capacity of neurons to meet the energy demands imposed by neuronal activity. We used physical activity, a paradigm intrinsically associated with energy consumption/expenditure and cognitive enhancement, to study how energy metabolism interacts with the substrates for neuroplasticity. We found that in an area critical for learning and memory, the hippocampus, exercise modified aspects of energy metabolism by decreasing oxidative stress and increasing the levels of cytochrome c oxidase-II, a specific component of mitochondrial machinery. We infused 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3, a modulator of energy metabolism, directly into the hippocampus during 3 days of voluntary wheel running and measured its effects on brain-derived neurotrophic factor-mediated synaptic plasticity. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor is a central player for the effects of exercise on synaptic and cognitive plasticity. We found that 25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 decreased exercise-induced brain-derived neurotrophic factor but had no significant effect on neurotrophin-3 levels, thereby suggesting a level of specificity for brain-derived neurotrophic factor in the hippocampus. 25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 injection also abolished the effects of exercise on the consummate end-products of brain-derived neurotrophic factor action, i.e. cyclic AMP response element-binding protein and synapsin I, and modulated phosphorylated calmodulin protein kinase II, a signal transduction cascade downstream to brain-derived neurotrophic factor action that is important for learning and memory. We also found that exercise significantly increased the expression of the mitochondrial uncoupling protein 2, an energy-balancing factor concerned with ATP production and free radical management. Our results reveal a fundamental mechanism by which key elements of energy metabolism may modulate the substrates of hippocampal synaptic plasticity.

Abstract
In the anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) process, ammonia is oxidized with nitrite as primary electron acceptor under strictly anoxic conditions. The reaction is catalysed by a specialized group of planctomycete-like bacteria. These anammox bacteria use a complex reaction mechanism involving hydrazine as an intermediate. The reactions are assumed to be carried out in a unique prokaryotic organelle, the anammoxosome. This organelle is surrounded by ladderane lipids, which make the organelle nearly impermeable to hydrazine and protons. The localization of the major anammox protein, hydrazine oxidoreductase, was determined via immunogold labelling to be inside the anammoxosome. The anammox bacteria have been detected in many marine and freshwater ecosystems and were estimated to contribute up to 50% of oceanic nitrogen loss. Furthermore, the anammox process is currently implemented in water treatment for the low-cost removal of ammonia from high-strength waste streams. Recent findings suggested that the anammox bacteria may also use organic acids to convert nitrate and nitrite into dinitrogen gas when ammonia is in short supply.

Abstract
The ability of exercise to benefit neuronal and cognitive plasticity is well recognized. This study reveals that the effects of exercise on brain neuronal and cognitive plasticity are in part modulated by a central source of insulin-like growth factor-I. Exercise selectively increased insulin-like growth factor-I expression without affecting insulin-like growth factor-II expression in the rat hippocampus. To determine the role that insulin-like growth factor-I holds in mediating exercise-induced neuronal and cognitive enhancement, a specific antibody against the insulin-like growth factor-I receptor was used to block the action of insulin-like growth factor-I in the hippocampus during a 5-day voluntary exercise period. A two-trial-per-day Morris water maze was performed for five consecutive days, succeeded by a probe trial 2 days later. Blocking hippocampal insulin-like growth factor-I receptors did not significantly attenuate the ability of exercise to enhance learning acquisition, but abolished the effect of exercise on augmenting recall. Blocking the insulin-like growth factor-I receptor significantly reversed the exercise-induced increase in the levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor mRNA and protein and pro-brain-derived neurotrophic factor protein, suggesting that the effects of insulin-like growth factor-I may be partially accomplished by modulating the precursor to the mature brain-derived neurotrophic factor. A molecular analysis revealed that exercise significantly elevated proteins downstream to brain-derived neurotrophic factor activation important for synaptic function, i.e. synapsin I, and signal transduction cascades associated with memory processes, i.e. phosphorylated calcium/calmodulin protein kinase II and phosphorylated mitogen-activated protein kinase II. Blocking the insulin-like growth factor-I receptor abolished these exercise-induced increases. Our results illustrate a possible mechanism by which insulin-like growth factor-I interfaces with the brain-derived neurotrophic factor system to mediate exercise-induced synaptic and cognitive plasticity.

Abstract
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a highly prevalent and often under-treated condition. Erection is basically a spinal reflex that can be initiated by recruitment of penile afferents but also by visual, olfactory and imaginary stimuli. The generated nervous signals will influence the balance between contractile and relaxant factors, which control the degree of contraction of penile corporal cavernosal smooth muscles and, thus, determine the erectile state of the penis. The different steps involved in neurotransmission, impulse propagation and intracellular transduction of neural signals may be changed in different types of ED. Recent studies have revealed important roles for the small GTPase RhoA and its effector, Rho-kinase in regulating cavernosal smooth muscle tone. The RhoA/Rho-kinase pathway modulates the level of phosphorylation of the myosin light chain, mainly through inhibition of myosin phosphatase, and contributes to agonist-induced Ca(2+)-sensitization in smooth muscle contraction. Changes in this pathway may contribute to ED in various patient subgroups (e.g. hypertension, diabetes, hypogonadism). This review summarizes the importance of Rho-kinase signaling in the erectile response and introduces the evidence pointing to RGS-containing Rho-guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) as critical mediators of RhoA-GTPase activation in cavernosal smooth muscle and its possible compartmentalization in the caveolae. In addition, we suggest that the design of selective inhibitors of these GEFs might represent a novel class of pharmacological agents to treat ED.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent MRI-based volume reconstruction studies in intractable temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) due to hippocampal sclerosis (HS) suggested atrophy that extends to the adjacent neocortical areas. OBJECTIVE To study the extent of temporal lobe volume (TLV) abnormalities in patients with pathologically confirmed HS (with or without cortical dysplasia [CD]) who underwent anterior temporal lobectomy for the treatment of drug-resistant TLE. METHODS Fifty patients (right TLE: n = 24; left TLE: n = 26) were found to have HS (hippocampal cell loss of >30%). Associated neocortical CD was seen in 20 patients (43%). MRI-based TLVs and hippocampal and hemispheric volume reconstructions in all patients were compared between pathologic groups and with volumes acquired from 10 age-matched control subjects. RESULTS TLVs ipsilateral to the epileptogenic zone in patients with TLE were smaller than TLVs in control subjects (p < 0.01). In patients with left TLE, TLVs ipsilateral to the epileptogenic zone were smaller than contralateral TLVs (left: 66.6 +/- 8.3 cm3, right: 74.9 +/- 10.0 cm3; p < 0.001). In patients with right TLE, there were no significant asymmetries. The contralateral TLVs (regardless of the side of surgery) were smaller in the HS + CD group than the HS group (HS + CD group: 74.9 +/- 8.6 cm3, HS group: 79.7 +/- 6.6 cm3; p < 0.05). Patients with HS + CD had a tendency to have less hippocampal atrophy and slightly smaller TLVs ipsilateral to the epileptogenic zone, accounting for significantly smaller TLV/hippocampal volume ratios compared with patients with HS alone. CONCLUSIONS Drug-resistant TLE due to HS is associated with extrahippocampal temporal lobe atrophy. The presence of bilateral temporal lobe atrophy is suggestive of a more widespread (bilateral) temporal lobe involvement in patients with HS and CD.

Abstract
A novel microemulsion was prepared to increase the solubility and the in vitro transdermal delivery of poorly water-soluble vinpocetine. The correlation between the transdermal permeation rate and structural characteristics of vinpocetine microemulsion was investigated by pulsed field gradient nuclear magnetic resonance (PFG-NMR). For the microemulsions, oleic acid was chosen as oil phase, PEG-8 glyceryl caprylate/caprate (Labrasol) as surfactant (S), purified diethylene glycol monoethyl ether (Transcutol P) as cosurfactant (CoS), and the double-distilled water as water phase. Pseudo-ternary phase diagrams were constructed to obtain the concentration range of each component for the microemulsion formation. The effects of various oils and different weight ratios of surfactant to cosurfactant (S/CoS) on the solubility and permeation rate of vinpocetine were investigated. Self-diffusion coefficients were determined by PFG-NMR in order to investigate the influence of microemulsion composition with the equal drug concentration on their transdermal delivery. Finally, the microemulsion containing 1% vinpocetine was optimized with 4% oleic acid, 20.5% Labrasol, 20.5% Transcutol P, and 55% double-distilled water (w/w), in which drug solubility was about 3160-fold higher compared to that in water and the apparent permeation rate across the excised rat skin was 36.4 +/- 2.1 microg/cm2/h. The physicochemical properties of the optimized microemulsion were examined for the pH, viscosity, refractive index, conductivity, and particle size distribution. The microemulsion was stable after storing more than 12 months at 25 degrees C. The irritation study showed that the optimized microemulsion was a nonirritant transdermal delivery system.
