Beyond the microcirculation: sequestration of infected red blood cells and reduced flow in large draining veins in experimental cerebral malaria. Nat Commun 2024; 15:2396.

Abstract
Sequestration of infected red blood cells (iRBCs) in the microcirculation is a hallmark of cerebral malaria (CM) in post-mortem human brains. It remains controversial how this might be linked to the different disease manifestations, in particular brain swelling leading to brain herniation and death. The main hypotheses focus on iRBC-triggered inflammation and mechanical obstruction of blood flow. Here, we test these hypotheses using murine models of experimental CM (ECM), SPECT-imaging of radiolabeled iRBCs and cerebral perfusion, MR-angiography, q-PCR, and immunohistochemistry. We show that iRBC accumulation and reduced flow precede inflammation. Unexpectedly, we find that iRBCs accumulate not only in the microcirculation but also in large draining veins and sinuses, particularly at the rostral confluence. We identify two parallel venous streams from the superior sagittal sinus that open into the rostral rhinal veins and are partially connected to infected skull bone marrow. The flow in these vessels is reduced early, and the spatial patterns of pathology correspond to venous drainage territories. Our data suggest that venous efflux reductions downstream of the microcirculation are causally linked to ECM pathology, and that the different spatiotemporal patterns of edema development in mice and humans could be related to anatomical differences in venous anatomy.

Abstract
Learning can be categorized into cue-instructed and spontaneous learning types; however, so far, there is no detailed comparative analysis of specific brain pathways involved in these learning types. The aim of this study was to compare brain activity patterns during these learning tasks using the in vivo imaging technique of single photon-emission computed tomography (SPECT) of regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF). During spontaneous exploratory learning, higher levels of rCBF compared to cue-instructed learning were observed in motor control regions, including specific subregions of the motor cortex and the striatum, as well as in regions of sensory pathways including olfactory, somatosensory, and visual modalities. In addition, elevated activity was found in limbic areas, including specific subregions of the hippocampal formation, the amygdala, and the insula. The main difference between the two learning paradigms analyzed in this study was the higher rCBF observed in prefrontal cortical regions during cue-instructed learning when compared to spontaneous learning. Higher rCBF during cue-instructed learning was also observed in the anterior insular cortex and in limbic areas, including the ectorhinal and entorhinal cortexes, subregions of the hippocampus, subnuclei of the amygdala, and the septum. Many of the rCBF changes showed hemispheric lateralization. Taken together, our study is the first to compare partly lateralized brain activity patterns during two different types of learning.

Abstract
During the progression of a pilot nutrition intervention designed to teach cooking skills to young adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), one participant-Paul-fell in the parking lot. Prior to the accident, Paul had been making significant gains in the program and had communicated in a number of ways his enthusiasm. After his accident, which resulted in broken and dislocated bones in his ankle, his demeanor was dramatically altered, program gains were lost, and staff noted the appearance of many new challenging behaviors. This article analyzes Paul's behavior in reference to the pain response in autism. For some time, it was believed that many individuals with ASD did not experience pain based on anecdotal reports of how individuals responded to injury with seeming indifference. This view has given way of late to a more nuanced understanding of how atypical sensory processing and stimulus over-selectivity spill over into pain pathways and pain amplification mechanisms. The consequence is not a reduction in pain sensation, but a different expression of pain, determined by that individual's particular communicative, cognitive, or physiological challenges. From this perspective, many of the disruptive and harmful behaviors that emerged after Paul's accident can be seen as a delayed response to the incident. This article concludes by arguing that professionals across all domains of health care need to begin to see behavior as communicative for those with ASD. This is particularly true of changes in behavior, which can be significant indicators of health care problems rather than something to be dismissed as another manifestation of the condition.

Abstract
Predator odors represent a group of biologically-relevant chemosignals called kairomones. Kairomones enable prey animals to recognize potential predatory threats in their environment and to initiate appropriate defensive responses. Although the behavioral repertoire of anti-predatory responses (e.g. avoidance, freezing, risk assessment) has been investigated extensively, our knowledge about the neural network mediating these innate fear responses is rather limited. In the present study, the GABAA agonist muscimol was bilaterally injected (2.6 nmol/0.3 μl) into the amygdalar olfactory cortex (AOC), a brain area that receives massive olfactory input from both olfactory systems and is strongly interconnected with the medial hypothalamic defense circuit. Temporary inactivation of the AOC substantially disrupted avoidance behavior of rats to fox urine that is strongly avoided under control conditions (saline injections). Taken together, these results demonstrate that the AOC is critically involved in fox urine-induced fear behavior. This suggests that the AOC is part of a brain fear circuit that mediates innate fear responses toward predatory odors.

Abstract
Disruption of neuronal networks in the Alzheimer-afflicted brain is increasingly recognized as a key correlate of cognitive and memory decline in Alzheimer patients. We hypothesized that functional synaptic disconnections within cortical columnar microcircuits by pathological β-amyloid accumulation, rather than cell death, initially causes the cognitive impairments. During development of cortical β-amyloidosis with still few plaques in the transgenic 5xFAD mouse model single cell resolution mapping of neuronal thallium uptake revealed that electrical activity of pyramidal cells breaks down throughout infragranular cortical layer V long before cell death occurs. Treatment of 5xFAD mice with the glutaminyl cyclase inhibitor, PQ 529, partially prevented the decline of pyramidal cell activity, indicating pyroglutamate-modified forms, potentially mixed oligomers of Aβ are contributing to neuronal impairment. Laminar investigation of cortical circuit dysfunction with current source density analysis identified an early loss of excitatory synaptic input in infragranular layers, linked to pathological recurrent activations in supragranular layers. This specific disruption of normal cross-laminar cortical processing coincided with a decline of contextual fear learning.

Abstract
Complex lipids of Porphyromonas gingivalis have been identified in lipid extracts from calculus-contaminated root surfaces and in diseased gingival tissues. However, little is known about the biological effects of these complex lipids on host cells. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of P. gingivalis or calculus lipids on prostaglandin secretion from gingival fibroblasts. Lipids were extracted from paired subgingival plaque and teeth samples, and calculus-contaminated root surfaces before and after scaling and root planing, in order to determine the relevant levels of lipid extracts for the treatment of gingival fibroblasts in culture. Primary cultures of gingival fibroblasts were exposed to lipid extracts from either P. gingivalis or calculus/teeth for a period of 7 days. Control and lipid-treated cultures were exposed to human recombinant interleukin-1beta for 48 h and prostaglandin secretion from interleukin-1beta-treated fibroblasts was compared with control and lipid-treated fibroblasts without interleukin-1beta treatment. These experiments demonstrated that P. gingivalis lipids or calculus-tooth lipids potentiate interleukin-1beta-mediated prostaglandin secretory responses from gingival fibroblasts. Additionally, P. gingivalis or calculus-tooth lipid extracts were readily taken up by gingival fibroblasts as measured by bacterial fatty acid recovery in lipid extracts of cultured fibroblasts. These results indicate that bacterial lipid penetration into gingival tissues in combination with a chronic inflammatory response may substantially potentiate prostaglandin secretion from gingival fibroblasts, thereby promoting tissue destructive processes associated with adult periodontitis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We recently established transgenic animals expressing either interleukin-6 (IL-6) or the soluble IL-6 receptor (sIL-6R) alone, or both components, IL-6 and the sIL-6R, in the liver. This animal model demonstrated that the expression of IL-6 in combination with its sIL-6R led to extramedullary expansion of hematopoietic progenitor cells in the spleen and liver. MATERIALS AND METHODS We studied other relevant hematopoietic cytokines involved in the IL-6/sIL-6R-induced stimulation of hematopoiesis. RESULTS Using immunohistochemistry, we showed that cell-associated stem cell factor (SCF) and Flt-3L expression were upregulated in liver and spleen only in double transgenic mice but not in IL-6 or sIL-6R single transgenic animals. Moreover, on murine NIH/3T3 fibroblasts and on human primary forskin fibroblasts, stimulation with the IL-6/sIL-6R complex, and to a lesser extent with IL-6 alone, led to induction of cellular SCF and Flt-3L expression. When human HTB-158 fibroblasts were stimulated with the IL-6/sIL-6R complex and subsequently cocultured with human umbilical cord CD34(+) cells, a significant upregulation in colony growth was found. CONCLUSIONS We showed that IL-6 in combination with its soluble receptor stimulates cellular SCF and Flt-3L expression in vivo and in vitro. Cellular upregulation of SCF and Flt-3L by IL-6/sIL-6R might be used for the development of new stroma cell systems for ex vivo expansion of hematopoietic progenitor cells.

Abstract
In 1979-80 a national survey of the incidence of congenital malformations in babies born to diabetic mothers in the United Kingdom was carried out by questionnaire. Of the 1034 mothers reported, 773 were known to have diabetes before the index pregnancy. The incidence of congenital malformations ws 7.1% which is significantly higher than the 2.1% in the offspring reported to the Office of Population, Censuses and Surveys (OPCS) for England and Wales in 1979-80. The increase was most pronounced for malformations of the heart, spine, lungs, and brain. In 40% of the diabetic mothers blood glucose was not recorded during the first trimester of pregnancy, and in this group the malformation rate was twice that in babies born of mothers who had had at least one reported blood glucose estimation during this time. We conclude that there is an urgent need to improve health education and supervision before and during pregnancy in all diabetic women if the prevalence of malformations amongst their offspring is to be reduced.

Abstract
A prospective, national survey of the UK which examined the management and outcome of pregnancy complicated by maternal diabetes is described. The perinatal mortality rate was 3.7 and 1.5 times greater than the overall UK rate and the malformation rate 6.4% and 1.9% in pregnancies where the mother had insulin-dependent and gestational diabetes respectively. In 57% of cases no blood glucose measurement was recorded in the first trimester of pregnancy. Significantly fewer malformed infants resulted from pregnancies where a first trimester blood glucose was recorded, irrespective of the value. Second and third trimester blood glucose values did not predict malformation but correlated inversely with gestational age at delivery and this was the major factor predicting the outcome of pregnancy.

Abstract
Flow cytometry (FCM) was used to investigate antigenic expression and modulation during the cell cycle of Y-79 and WERI-Rb1 tissue cultured retinoblastoma cell lines using a polyclonal anti-Y-79 antibody and fluorescein conjugated lectins. Several Y-79 resting cell populations were identified by FCM analysis of antibody binding, while only a single population with uniform antigen expression was found to exist in the synthetic and mitotic phases. WERI-Rb1 cells bound antibody approximately equally in each phase of the cell cycle. Multiple cell populations with different lectin binding affinities were seen in the resting phase with FITC-concanavalin A, FITC-ricinus communis-60 and FITC-ricinus communis-120 (FITC-RCA-120). During the S-phase of the cell cycle, a higher percentage of cells bound FITC-RCA-120 and FITC wheat germ agglutinin. The relationship between antigenic expression during the cell cycle and treatment considerations in retinoblastoma is discussed.

Abstract
This study was undertaken in order to develop a method for comparing the value of different forms of treatment for hay fever. A cross-over trial was carried out in sixty-one patients, comparing four treatments: topical corticosteroids, topical cromoglycates, placebo tablets and oxatomide (a new oral treatment with antihistamine and cromoglycate-like properties). Three methods were used to compare these treatments: (1) post-treatment symptom questionnaires; (2) daily analogue line scores of symptoms; and (3) nasal FEV1. Of these, daily analogue line diary scores, with an analysis which took into account variation in pollen count, proved to be the most sensitive. By employing this diary method, it was shown that all three active treatments were significantly better than placebo and that topical corticosteroids were significantly better than topical cromoglycates. The activity of oxatomide was found to be not significantly different from that of steroids or cromoglycate, but it was associated with more frequent side-effects. It is suggested that daily diaries, combining symptom relief and freedom from side effects into a single score of 'usefulness' adjusted for pollen count, are suitable means for comparing treatments for hay fever.

Abstract
Calcium metabolic balance determinations, which have been done in various clinical and experimental conditions, were applied to the study of 8 spinal cord injured patients receiving a diet with 1600 mg calcium and 85 to 120 gm protein daily. All of the patients had hypercalciuria prior to ambulation. Those with spinal cord injuries of less than 3 months duration (early group) had a calcium balance of -27 mg before ambulation and 235 mg after ambulation. Patients with spinal cord injuries of 6 months or more duration (late group) had calcium balances of 55 mg before ambulation and 175 mg after ambulation. Ambulation significantly decreased the hypercalciuria and modified the calcium balance in a positive direction. Smaller changes were noted in the responses of the late group than in those of the early group. Early ambulation will probably prevent bone loss, calcium stones in the genitourinary tract, and other sequellae of negative calcium balance.

Abstract
Twenty-four methadone maintenance patients were assigned to (1) decreasing dose (N = 12) or (2) continued methadone maintenance (N = 12), matching for dose, initial complaint levels, and counselor. After 14 weeks most patients in both groups had terminated from the study. Detoxifying patients usually terminated by obtaining a dose increase or dropping out; maintenance patients usually terminated for external reasons. Prior to terminating, detoxifying patients reported increased withdrawal complaints but no awareness doses had decreased. Termination was not directly related to dose level or percentage decrease. In both groups, terminators were likely to have been high in complaints during the baseline period.

Abstract
In vitro lymphocyte transformation was used in an attempt to demonstrate hypersensitivity reaction to gamma-globulin in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Peripheral blood lymphocytes from Latex-positive rheumatoid patients were cultured in TC 199 fluid for 3 days in the presence of autologous gamma-globulin preparations (concentrations of 0.01–11 mg/ml), and the percentage blast formation determined microscopically on 1000 cells. Negative controls and phytohaemagglutinin controls were included. Transformation of 10 per cent or more was considered significant. Whole gamma-globulin obtained by ammonium sulphate precipitation failed to stimulate autologous lymphocyte transformation. IgM and IgG fractions obtained by gel filtration on Sephadex G-200 at pH 4.05 stimulated transformation in five out of ten and eight out of ten autologous lymphocyte cultures. The activities of the IgM and IgG fractions could be distinguished by their specificities (homo- and auto-specificity, respectively). Controls including IgM and IgG fractions from healthy persons, Latex-negative rheumatoids, and patients with other connective tissue diseases in autologous culture and IgG from rheumatoids in homologous culture failed to stimulate transformation. Further fractionation of blasto-genically active IgG fractions on DEAE—cellulose and on goat antihuman IgG coupled to Sepharose, in order to determine if the activity was associated with IgG, was unsuccessful, since most of the activity was lost during the procedures.
