Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative delirium (POD) is a common form of postoperative brain dysfunction, especially in the elderly. However, its risk factors remain largely to be determined. This study aimed to investigate whether (1) preoperative diabetes is associated with POD after elective orthopedic surgery and (2) intraoperative frontal alpha power is a mediator of the association between preoperative diabetes and POD. METHODS This was a prospective matched cohort study of patients aged 60 years or more, with a preoperative diabetes who underwent elective orthopedic surgery. Nondiabetic patients were matched 1:1 to diabetic patients in terms of age, sex, and type of surgery. Primary outcome was occurrence of POD, assessed using the 3-minute Diagnostic Confusion Assessment Method (3D-CAM) once daily from 6 pm to 8 pm during the postoperative days 1-7 or until discharge. Secondary outcome was the severity of POD which was assessed for all participants using the short form of the CAM-Severity. Frontal electroencephalogram (EEG) was recorded starting before induction of anesthesia and lasting until discharge from the operating room. Intraoperative alpha power was calculated using multitaper spectral analyses. Mediation analysis was used to estimate the proportion of the association between preoperative diabetes and POD that could be explained by intraoperative alpha power. RESULTS A total of 138 pairs of eligible patients successfully matched 1:1. After enrollment, 6 patients in the diabetes group and 4 patients in the nondiabetes group were excluded due to unavailability of raw EEG data. The final analysis included 132 participants with preoperative diabetes and 134 participants without preoperative diabetes, with a median age of 68 years and 72.6% of patients were female. The incidence of POD was 16.7% (22/132) in patients with preoperative diabetes vs 6.0% (8/134) in patients without preoperative diabetes. Preoperative diabetes was associated with increased odds of POD after adjustment of age, sex, body mass index, education level, hypertension, arrhythmia, coronary heart disease, and history of stroke (odds ratio, 3.2; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.4-8.0; P = .009). The intraoperative alpha power accounted for an estimated 20% (95% CI, 2.6-60%; P = .021) of the association between diabetes and POD. CONCLUSIONS This study suggests that preoperative diabetes is associated with an increased risk of POD in older patients undergoing major orthopedic surgery, and that low intraoperative alpha power partially mediates such association.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Surgical patients over 70 experience postoperative delirium (POD) complications in up to 50% of procedures. Sleep/circadian disruption has emerged as a potential risk factor for POD in epidemiological studies. This protocol presents a single-site, prospective observational study designed to examine the relationship between sleep/circadian regulation and POD and how this association could be moderated or mediated by Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology and genetic risk for AD. METHODS AND ANALYSIS Study staff members will screen for eligible patients (age ≥70) seeking joint replacement or spinal surgery at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH). At the inclusion visit, patients will be asked a series of questionnaires related to sleep and cognition, conduct a four-lead ECG recording and be fitted for an actigraphy watch to wear for 7 days before surgery. Blood samples will be collected preoperatively and postoperatively and will be used to gather information about AD variant genes (APOE-ε4) and AD-related pathology (total and phosphorylated tau). Confusion Assessment Method-Scale and Montreal Cognitive Assessment will be completed twice daily for 3 days after surgery. Seven-day actigraphy assessments and Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System questionnaires will be performed 1, 3 and 12 months after surgery. Relevant patient clinical data will be monitored and recorded throughout the study. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION This study is approved by the IRB at MGH, Boston, and it is registered with the US National Institutes of Health on ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT06052397). Plans for dissemination include conference presentations at a variety of scientific institutions. Results from this study are intended to be published in peer-reviewed journals. Relevant updates will be made available on ClinicalTrials.gov. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT06052397.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Tau phosphorylated at threonine-217 (pT217-tau) is a novel fluid-based biomarker that predicts onset of Alzheimer's disease (AD) symptoms, but little is known about how pT217-tau arises in the brain, as soluble pT217-tau is dephosphorylated post mortem in humans. METHODS We used multilabel immunofluorescence and immunoelectron microscopy to examine the subcellular localization of early-stage pT217-tau in entorhinal and prefrontal cortices of aged macaques with naturally occurring tau pathology and assayed pT217-tau levels in plasma. RESULTS pT217-tau was aggregated on microtubules within dendrites exhibiting early signs of degeneration, including autophagic vacuoles. It was also seen trafficking between excitatory neurons within synapses on spines, where it was exposed to the extracellular space, and thus accessible to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)/blood. Plasma pT217-tau levels increased across the age span and thus can serve as a biomarker in macaques. DISCUSSION These data help to explain why pT217-tau predicts degeneration in AD and how it gains access to CSF and plasma to serve as a fluid biomarker.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of oral and transdermal estradiol in alleviating menopausal symptoms. METHOD A total of 257 recently menopausal women were randomized into two groups. The t-E2 group received transdermal estradiol (2.5 g per day) (n = 128) and the o-E2V group received oral estradiol valerate (2 mg per day) (n = 129) for 24 weeks; both groups received micronized progesterone (200 mg per day). The primary outcome measure is the change in the modified Kupperman Menopausal Index (KMI) after 24 weeks of treatment. Menopausal symptoms were recorded at screening and at 4, 12 and 24 weeks using both the KMI and the Menopause Rating Scale (MRS). RESULTS Significant amelioration was observed by KMI and MRS scores for both groups after treatment (p < 0.001). The mean KMI scores showed no difference between the two groups. The mean MRS scores were similar between the two groups at baseline and after 4 weeks of treatment. The results showed statistical differences after 12 weeks and 24 weeks of treatment (p = 0.005 and p = 0.011). Both the after-treatment scores minus the baseline scores of KMI and MRS and the incidence of adverse effects showed no difference between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS This study shows that both transdermal and oral estradiol are effective in relieving menopausal symptoms, with little difference in treatment efficacy and safety.

Abstract
AIMS SIRT1 deficiency has been associated with diabetes, and a variant of the SIRT1 gene has been found to be involved in human autoimmune diabetes; however, it is unclear whether this genetic variation exists in Han Chinese with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and whether it contributes to development of T1D. Therefore, we aimed to explore the association of the SIRT1 gene single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) rs10997866 and rs3818292 in a Han Chinese population with T1D. METHODS This study recruited 2653 unrelated Han Chinese individuals, of whom 1289 had T1D and 1364 were healthy controls. Allelic and genotypic distributions of SIRT1 polymorphisms (rs10997866 and rs3818292) were determined by MassARRAY. Basic characteristics, genotype and allele frequencies of selected SNPs were compared between the T1D patients and healthy controls. Further genotype-phenotype association analysis of the SNPs was performed on the T1D patients divided into three groups according to genotype. Statistical analyses included the chi-square test, Mann‒Whitney U test, Kruskal‒Wallis H test and logistic regression. RESULTS The allelic (G vs. A) and genotypic (GA vs. AA) distributions of SIRT1 rs10997866 were significantly different in T1D patients and healthy controls (P = 0.039, P = 0.027), and rs10997866 was associated with T1D susceptibility under dominant, overdominant and additive models (P = 0.026, P = 0.030 and P = 0.027, respectively). Moreover, genotype-phenotype association analysis showed the GG genotype of rs10997866 and the GG genotype of rs3818292 to be associated with higher titers of IA-2A (P = 0.013 and P = 0.038, respectively). CONCLUSION SIRT1 rs10997866 is significantly associated with T1D susceptibility, with the minor allele G conferring a higher risk of T1D. Moreover, SIRT1 gene rs10997866 and rs3818292 correlate with the titer of IA-2A in Han Chinese individuals with T1D.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sevoflurane induces neuronal dysfunction and cognitive impairment. However, the underlying mechanism remains largely to be determined. Tau, cyclophilin D, and dendritic spine contribute to cognitive function. But whether changes in dendritic spines are involved in the effects of sevoflurane and the potential association with tau and cyclophilin D is not clear. METHODS We harvested hippocampal neurons from wild-type mice, tau knockout mice, and cyclophilin D knockout mice. We treated these neurons with sevoflurane at day in vitro 7 and measured the diameter of dendritic spine head and the number of dendritic spines. Moreover, we determined the effects of sevoflurane on the expression of excitatory amino acid transporter 3 (EAAT3), extracellular glutamate levels, and miniature excitatory postsynaptic currents (mEPSCs). Finally, we used lithium, cyclosporine A, and overexpression of EAAT3 in the interaction studies. RESULTS Sevoflurane-induced tau phosphgorylation increased the diameter of dendritic spine head and decreased the number of dendritic spines in neurons harvested from wild-type and cyclophilin D knockout mice, but not tau knockout mice. Sevoflurane decreased the expression of EAAT3, increased extracellular glutamate levels, and decreased the frequency of mEPSCs in the neurons. Overexpression of EAAT3 mitigated the effects of sevoflurane on dendritic spines. Lithium, but not cyclosporine A, attenuated the effects of sevoflurane on dendritic spines. Lithium also inhibited the effects of sevoflurane on EAAT3 expression and mEPSCs. CONCLUSIONS These data suggest that sevoflurane induces a tau phosphorylation-dependent demtrimental effect on dendritic spine via decreasing EAAT3 expression and increasing extracellular glutamate levels, leading to neuronal dysfunction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The effects of a solitary neonatal exposure to anesthesia plus surgery (anesthesia/surgery) on cognitive function and the underlying mechanism in developing brains remains largely undetermined. We, therefore, set out to investigate the impact of single exposure to anesthesia/surgery in neonatal mice. METHODS Six-day-old male and female mice received abdominal surgery under 3% sevoflurane plus 50% oxygen for 2 h. The new object recognition (NOR) and Morris water maze (MWM) were used to evaluate cognitive function in young adult mice. Western blot, ELISA and RT-PCR were used to measure levels of NR2B and IL-6 in medial prefrontal cortex and IL-6 in blood of the mice. We employed NR2B siRNA and IL-6 antibody in the interaction studies. RESULTS The anesthesia/surgery decreased the ratio of novel time to novel plus familiar time in NOR and the number of platform crossings, but not escape latency, in MWM compared to sham condition. The mice in anesthesia/surgery group had increased NR2B expression in medial prefrontal cortex, and IL-6 amounts in blood and medial prefrontal cortex. Local injection of NR2B siRNA in medial prefrontal cortex alleviated the anesthesia/surgery-induced cognitive impairment. IL-6 antibody mitigated the anesthesia/surgery-induced upregulation of NR2B and cognitive impairment in young adult mice. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that a single neonatal exposure to anesthesia/surgery causes impairment of memory, but not learning, in young adult mice through IL-6-regulated increases in NR2B concentrations in medial prefrontal cortex, highlighting the need for further research on the underlying mechanisms of anesthesia/surgery's impact on cognitive function in developing brains.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Anesthesia often exacerbates memory recall difficulties in individuals with Alzheimer's disease (AD), but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. METHODS We used in vivo Ca2+ imaging, viral-based circuit tracing, and chemogenetic approaches to investigate anesthesia-induced remote memory impairment in mouse models of presymptomatic AD. RESULTS Our study identified pyramidal neuron hyperactivity in the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) as a significant contributor to anesthesia-induced remote memory impairment. This ACC hyperactivation arises from the disinhibition of local inhibitory circuits and increased excitatory inputs from the hippocampal CA1 region. Inhibiting hyperactivity in the CA1-ACC circuit improved memory recall after anesthesia. Moreover, anesthesia led to increased tau phosphorylation in the hippocampus, and inhibiting this hyperphosphorylation prevented ACC hyperactivity and subsequent memory impairment. DISCUSSION Hippocampal-cortical hyperactivity plays a role in anesthesia-induced remote memory impairment. Targeting tau hyperphosphorylation shows promise as a therapeutic strategy to mitigate anesthesia-induced neural network dysfunction and retrograde amnesia in AD.

Abstract
Optical sensors and sensing technologies are playing a more and more important role in our modern world. From micro-probes to large devices used in such diverse areas like medical diagnosis, defence, monitoring of industrial and environmental conditions, optics can be used in a variety of ways to achieve compact, low cost, stand-off sensing with extreme sensitivity and selectivity. Actually, the challenges to the design and functioning of an optical sensor for a particular application requires intimate knowledge of the optical, material, and environmental properties that can affect its performance. This roadmap on optical sensors addresses different technologies and application areas. It is constituted by twelve contributions authored by world-leading experts, providing insight into the current state-of-the-art and the challenges their respective fields face. Two articles address the area of optical fibre sensors, encompassing both conventional and specialty optical fibres. Several other articles are dedicated to laser-based sensors, micro- and nano-engineered sensors, whispering-gallery mode and plasmonic sensors. The use of optical sensors in chemical, biological and biomedical areas is discussed in some other papers. Different approaches required to satisfy applications at visible, infrared and THz spectral regions are also discussed.

Abstract
AIM To develop and validate a non-invasive computed tomography (CT)-based radiomics model for predicting vasculogenic mimicry (VM) status in lung adenocarcinoma (LA). MATERIALS AND METHODS Two hundred and three patients with LA were enrolled retrospectively and grouped into training and test groups with a ratio of 7:3. Uni- and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed in the training cohort to screen the independent clinical and radiological factors for VM, and the clinical model was then established. A radiomics model was established based on the rad-scores through support vector machine (SVM). A radiomics nomogram model was subsequently constructed by combining the rad-score with clinical-radiological factors. The receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC), calibration curves, and decision curve analysis (DCA) were conducted to evaluate the performance of the three models. RESULTS Nine selected radiomics features were selected for the radiomics model and the maximum length and spiculation sign were constructed for the clinical model. The radiomics nomogram model integrating the maximum length, spiculation sign, and rad-score yielded the best AUC in both the training (AUC = 0.925) and test cohorts (AUC = 0.978), in comparison with the radiomics model (AUC = 0.907 and 0.964, in both the training and test cohorts) and the clinical model (AUC = 0.834 and 0.836 in both training and test cohorts). CONCLUSIONS The CT-based radiomics nomogram model showed satisfying discriminating performance for preoperatively and non-invasively predicting VM expression status in LA patients.

Abstract
AIM To examine the diagnostic performance of different models based on computed tomography (CT) imaging features in differentiating the invasiveness of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with multiple pleural contact types. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 1,573 patients with NSCLC (tumour size ≤3 cm) were included retrospectively. The clinical and pathological data and preoperative imaging features of these patients were investigated and their relationships with visceral pleural invasion (VPI) were compared statistically. Multivariate logistic regression was used to eliminate confounding factors and establish different predictive models. RESULTS By univariate analysis and multivariable adjustment, surgical history, tumour marker (TM), number of pleural tags, length of solid contact and obstructive inflammation were identified as independent risk predictors of pleural invasiveness (p=0.014, 0.003, <0.001, <0.001, and 0.017, respectively). In the training group, comparison of the diagnostic efficacy between the combined model including these five independent predictors and the image feature model involving the latter three imaging predictors were as follows: sensitivity of 88.9% versus 77% and specificity of 73.5% versus 84.1%, with AUC of 0.868 (95% CI: 0.848-0.886) versus 0.862 (95% CI: 0.842-0.880; p=0.377). In the validation group, the sensitivity and specificity of these two models were as follow: the combined model, 93.5% and 74.3%, the imaging feature model, 77.4% and 81.3%, and their areas under the curve (AUCs) were both 0.884 (95% CI: 0.842-0.919). The best cut-off value of length of solid contact was 7.5 mm (sensitivity 68.9%, specificity 75.5%). CONCLUSIONS The image feature model showed great potential in predicting pleural invasiveness, and had comparable diagnostic efficacy compared with the combined model containing clinical data.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Metabolomics has proven to be a valuable tool in gaining new insights into disease progression and prognosis, the specific metabolic alterations in the serum of recurrent chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) patients remain unknown. This study aims to explore the serum metabolomic profiles of recurrent CRSwNP and identify potential predictive biomarkers. METHODS A prospective, single-center study was conducted on CRSwNP patients prior to endoscopic sinus surgery. Serum samples were subjected to untargeted metabolomic profiling. Patients were followed up for over 2 years and categorized into recurrence and non-recurrence groups. Metabolite differences between the two groups were compared, and the identified differentially regulated metabolites were subsequently validated in a large clinical cohort. RESULTS 67 CRSwNP patients completed the follow-up schedule, with 47 classified into the non-recurrent group and 20 into the recurrent group. Significant differences were found in the metabolomic profiles between both groups, and serum uric acid (SUA) showed promising predictive potential for postoperative recurrence in both positive and negative ion models. A validation cohort comprising 398 non-recurrent and 142 recurrent CRSwNP patients was recruited, and a significant elevation in SUA levels was observed in recurrent cases. Patients were stratified into tertiles based on the distribution of baseline SUA levels. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that higher tertiles of SUA were associated with an increased risk of CRSwNP recurrence compared to lower tertiles, even after adjusting for potential confounding factors. The receiver operating characteristic curve and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis highlighted that elevated SUA levels exhibited potential predictive values for postoperative recurrence. CONCLUSION Serum metabolic signatures might predict postoperative recurrence in CRSwNP patients. Increased SUA concentrations were found to be associated with a higher risk of future postoperative recurrence in CRSwNP, independent of traditional risk factors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hearing impairment is an established independent risk factor for delirium.Whether preoperative hearing impairment is associated with postoperative emergence agitation (POEA) in elderly patients remains unknown. This study aimed to investigate the association between preoperative hearing impairment and POEA in elderly patients undergoing ear surgery. METHODS This prospective observational study was carried out at an otologic centre in a tertiary hospital between July 15, 2020, and February 28, 2021. Data of 417 elderly patients who underwent microscopic and endoscopic middle ear surgery were analyzed. Pure tone average was used to assess preoperative hearing function, with a PTA ≥ 50 dB indicating severe hearing impairment. POEA was measured using the Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale. Multiple logistic regression was used to determine the association between preoperative hearing function and POEA. RESULTS Of the 417 participants, 45.8% were men, and the median age was 64 (interquartile range: 62-67) years old. Severe preoperative hearing impairment was present in 113 patients (27.1%), and POEA occurred in 42 patients (10.1%). Multiple logistic regression analysis indicated that severe preoperative hearing impairment was associated with an increased risk of POEA (odds ratio: 2.031; 95% confidence interval: 1.044-3.954, P = 0.037). CONCLUSION Pending confirmative studies, these findings suggest that severe preoperative hearing impairment could serve as an independent predictor of POEA in older patients undergoing middle ear surgery. These results highlight the need for further research to better understand the biomarker and pathogenesis of POEA, leading to identification of targeted interventions of POEA and improvement of postoperative outcomes in patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim was to determine preoperative gut microbiota metabolites that may be associated with postoperative delirium (POD) development in patients and further study in rodents. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA POD occurs in 9% to 50% of older patients undergoing anesthesia/surgery but lacks effective treatments or prevention. High-throughput metabolomics using liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry has accelerated disease-related biomarkers discovery. We performed metabolomic studies in humans to identify potential metabolite biomarkers linked to POD and examined potential mechanisms in rodents. METHODS We performed a prospective observational cohort study to examine the metabolomic changes that were associated with the development of POD. Then the gut microbiota-related metabolomic changes were recapitulated by gut microbiota perturbation in rodents. POD was assessed in mice using a battery of behavioral tests including novel objective test, Y-maze test, open-field test, and buried food test. The mechanisms through which gut microbiota-related metabolomic changes influenced POD were examined using chemogenetics. RESULTS Indole-3-propionic acid (IPA) is a gut microbiota metabolite that belongs to the indole family. Baseline plasma levels of IPA were significantly inversely correlated with the onset of POD in 103 (17 cases) human individuals. This relationship was validated in preclinical mouse models for POD: reducing IPA levels through gut microbiota perturbation promoted POD-like behavior. More importantly, IPA administration deterred POD-like behavior. Colonization of germ-free mice with mutant Clostridium sporogenes that did not produce IPA-promoted POD-like behavior. Chemogenetic studies revealed that the protective effect of IPA in mice was mediated, in part, by peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1-alpha in hippocampal interneurons. CONCLUSIONS Gut microbiota-derived IPA is an important molecule implicated in the pathogenesis of POD, which could potentially be harnessed for POD prevention.

Abstract
Epidemiological evidence shows that residential proximity to greenspaces is associated with lower risk of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality; however, the mechanism(s) underlying this link remains unclear. Plants emit biogenic volatile organic compounds such as α-pinene that could elicit beneficial cardiovascular effects. To explore the role of α-pinene more directly, we studied the metabolism and the vascular effects of α-pinene. We found that exposure of mice to α-pinene (1 ppm, 6 h) generated two phase I oxidation metabolites, cis- and trans-verbenol [(1R,2R,5R)-verbenol and (1 R,2S,5R)-verbenol)] and myrtenol [(1S,5R)-(+)-myrtenol] that were identified in urine by GC-MS. Precontracted naïve murine male and female aorta and superior mesenteric artery (SMA) were relaxed robustly (60% tension reduction) by increasing concentrations of α-pinene, myrtenol, and verbenol to 0.3 mM, whereas 1 mM α-pinene was vasotoxic. The SMA was six times more sensitive than the aorta to α-pinene. Both myrtenol and verbenol were equally potent and efficacious as parent α-pinene in male and female SMA. The sensitive portion of the α-pinene-, myrtenol-, and verbenol-induced relaxations in male SMA was mediated by 1) endothelium, 2) eNOS-derived NO, and 3) guanylyl cyclase (GC) activity. Moreover, α-pinene activated the transient receptor potential ankyrin-1 (TRPA1) channel whereas the metabolites did not. Endothelial-derived NO regulates blood flow, blood pressure, and thrombosis, and it is plausible that inhaled (and ingested) α-pinene (or its metabolites) augments NO release to mediate the cardiovascular benefits of exposure to greenness.NEW & NOTEWORTHY A common plant-derived biogenic volatile organic compound, α-pinene, and two of its metabolites, myrtenol and verbenol, stimulate vasorelaxation in murine superior mesenteric artery. Both α-pinene- and its metabolites induce vasorelaxation by activation of the endothelium, nitric oxide, and guanylyl cyclase. α-Pinene also activates the transient receptor potential ankyrin-1. Positive associations between greenness exposure and human cardiovascular health may be a result of the vascular action of α-pinene and its metabolites, a novel consideration.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION pT217-tau is a novel fluid-based biomarker that predicts onset of Alzheimer's disease (AD) symptoms, but little is known about how pT217-tau arises in brain, as soluble pT217-tau is dephosphorylated postmortem in humans. METHODS We utilized multi-label immunofluorescence and immunoelectron-microscopy to examine the subcellular localization of early-stage pT217-tau in entorhinal and prefrontal cortices of aged macaques with naturally-occurring tau pathology and assayed pT217-tau levels in plasma. RESULTS pT217-tau was aggregated on microtubules within dendrites exhibiting early signs of degeneration, including autophagic vacuoles. It was also seen trafficking between excitatory neurons within synapses on spines, where it was exposed to the extracellular space, and thus accessible to CSF/blood. Plasma pT217-tau levels increased across the age-span and thus can serve as a biomarker in macaques. DISCUSSION These data help to explain why pT217-tau predicts degeneration in AD and how it gains access to CSF and plasma to serve as a fluid biomarker.

Abstract
Neuroinflammatory disorders preferentially impair the higher cognitive and executive functions of the prefrontal cortex (PFC). This includes such challenging disorders as delirium, perioperative neurocognitive disorder, and the sustained cognitive deficits from "long-COVID" or traumatic brain injury. There are no FDA-approved treatments for these symptoms; thus, understanding their etiology is important for generating therapeutic strategies. The current review describes the molecular rationale for why PFC circuits are especially vulnerable to inflammation, and how α2A-adrenoceptor (α2A-AR) actions throughout the nervous and immune systems can benefit the circuits in PFC needed for higher cognition. The layer III circuits in the dorsolateral PFC (dlPFC) that generate and sustain the mental representations needed for higher cognition have unusual neurotransmission and neuromodulation. They are wholly dependent on NMDAR neurotransmission, with little AMPAR contribution, and thus are especially vulnerable to kynurenic acid inflammatory signaling which blocks NMDAR. Layer III dlPFC spines also have unusual neuromodulation, with cAMP magnification of calcium signaling in spines, which opens nearby potassium channels to rapidly weaken connectivity and reduce neuronal firing. This process must be tightly regulated, e.g. by mGluR3 or α2A-AR on spines, to prevent loss of firing. However, the production of GCPII inflammatory signaling reduces mGluR3 actions and markedly diminishes dlPFC network firing. Both basic and clinical studies show that α2A-AR agonists such as guanfacine can restore dlPFC network firing and cognitive function, through direct actions in the dlPFC, but also by reducing the activity of stress-related circuits, e.g. in the locus coeruleus and amygdala, and by having anti-inflammatory actions in the immune system. This information is particularly timely, as guanfacine is currently the focus of large clinical trials for the treatment of delirium, and in open label studies for the treatment of cognitive deficits from long-COVID.

Abstract
Spouses of Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients are at a higher risk of developing incidental dementia. However, the causes and underlying mechanism of this clinical observation remain largely unknown. One possible explanation is linked to microbiota dysbiosis, a condition that has been associated with AD. However, it remains unclear whether gut microbiota dysbiosis can be transmitted from AD individuals to non-AD individuals and contribute to the development of AD pathogenesis and cognitive impairment. We, therefore, set out to perform both animal studies and clinical investigation by co-housing wild-type mice and AD transgenic mice, analyzing microbiota via 16S rRNA gene sequencing, measuring short-chain fatty acid amounts, and employing behavioral test, mass spectrometry, site-mutations and other methods. The present study revealed that co-housing between wild-type mice and AD transgenic mice or administrating feces of AD transgenic mice to wild-type mice resulted in AD-associated gut microbiota dysbiosis, Tau phosphorylation, and cognitive impairment in the wild-type mice. Gavage with Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium restored these changes in the wild-type mice. The oral and gut microbiota of AD patient partners resembled that of AD patients but differed from healthy controls, indicating the transmission of microbiota. The underlying mechanism of these findings includes that the butyric acid-mediated acetylation of GSK3β at lysine 15 regulated its phosphorylation at serine 9, consequently impacting Tau phosphorylation. Pending confirmative studies, these results provide insight into a potential link between the transmission of AD-associated microbiota dysbiosis and development of cognitive impairment, which underscore the need for further research in this area.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The volatile anaesthetic sevoflurane induces time (single or multiple exposures)-dependent effects on tau phosphorylation and cognitive function in young mice. The underlying mechanism for this remains largely undetermined. METHODS Mice received 3% sevoflurane for 0.5 h or 2 h daily for 3 days on postnatal day (P) 6, 9, and 12. Another group of mice received 3% sevoflurane for 0.5 h or 1.5 h (3 × 0.5) on P6. We investigated effects of sevoflurane anaesthesia on tau phosphorylation on P6 or P12 mice, on cognitive function from P31 to P37, and on protein interactions, using in vivo studies, in vitro phosphorylation assays, and nanobeam single-molecule level interactions in vitro. RESULTS An initial sevoflurane exposure induced CaMKIIα phosphorylation (132 [11]% vs 100 [6]%, P<0.01), leading to tau phosphorylation at serine 262 (164 [7]% vs 100 [26]%, P<0.01) and tau detachment from microtubules. Subsequent exposures to the sevoflurane induced GSK3β activation, which phosphorylated detached or free tau (tau phosphorylated at serine 262) at serine 202 and threonine 205, resulting in cognitive impairment in young mice. In vitro phosphorylation assays also demonstrated sequential tau phosphorylation. Nanobeam analysis of molecular interactions showed different interactions between tau or free tau and CaMKIIα or GSK3β, and between tau and tubulin at a single-molecule level. CONCLUSIONS Multiple exposures to sevoflurane can induce sequential tau phosphorylation, leading to cognitive impairment in young mice, highlighting the need to investigate the underlying mechanisms of anaesthesia-induced tau phosphorylation in developing brain.

Abstract
Introduction Current approaches for treating sporadic Alzheimer's disease (sAD) focus on removal of amyloid beta 1-42 (Aβ1-42) or phosphorylated tau, but additional strategies are needed to reduce neuropathology at earlier stages prior to neuronal damage. Longstanding data show that calcium dysregulation is a key etiological factor in sAD, and the cortical neurons most vulnerable to tau pathology show magnified calcium signaling, for example in dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC) and entorhinal cortex (ERC). In primate dlPFC and ERC, type 3 metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluR3s) are predominately post-synaptic, on spines, where they regulate cAMP-calcium signaling, a process eroded by inflammatory glutamate carboxypeptidase II (GCPII) actions. The current study tested whether enhancing mGluR3 regulation of calcium via chronic inhibition of GCPII would reduce tau hyperphosphorylation in aged macaques with naturally-occurring tau pathology. Methods Aged rhesus macaques were treated daily with the GCPII inhibitor, 2-MPPA (2-3-mercaptopropyl-penanedioic acid (2-MPPA)),Aged rhesus macaques were treated daily with the GCPII inhibitor, 2-MPPA (2-3-mercaptopropyl-penanedioic acid (2-MPPA)). Results Aged macaques that received 2-MPPA had significantly lower pT217Tau levels in dlPFC and ERC, and had lowered plasma pT217Tau levels from baseline. pT217Tau levels correlated significantly with GCPII activity in dlPFC. Both 2-MPPA- and vehicle-treated monkeys showed cognitive improvement; 2-MPPA had no apparent side effects. Exploratory CSF analyses indicated reduced pS202Tau with 2-MPPA administration, confirmed in dlPFC samples. Discussion These data provide proof-of-concept support that GCPII inhibition can reduce tau hyperphosphorylation in the primate cortices most vulnerable in sAD. GCPII inhibition may be particularly helpful in reducing the risk of sAD caused by inflammation. These data in nonhuman primates should encourage future research on this promising mechanism. Highlights Inflammation is a key driver of sporadic Alzheimer's disease.GCPII inflammatory signaling in brain decreases mGluR3 regulation of calcium.Chronic inhibition of GCPII inflammatory signaling reduced pT217Tau in aged monkeys.GCPII inhibition is a novel strategy to help prevent tau pathology at early stages.

Abstract
Surgery is a major challenge for the immune system, but little is known about the immune response of geriatric patients to surgery. We therefore investigated the impact of surgery on the molecular signature of circulating CD14+ monocytes, cells implicated in clinical recovery from surgery, in older patients. We enrolled older patients having elective joint replacement (N = 19) or spine (N = 16) surgery and investigated pre- to postoperative expression changes in 784 immune-related genes in monocytes. Joint replacement altered the expression of 489 genes (adjusted p < 0.05), of which 38 had a |logFC| > 1. Spine surgery changed the expression of 209 genes (adjusted p < 0.05), of which 27 had a |logFC| > 1. In both, the majority of genes with a |logFC| > 1 change were downregulated. In the combined group (N = 35), 471 transcripts were differentially expressed (adjusted p < 0.05) after surgery; 29 had a |logFC| > 1 and 72% of these were downregulated. Notably, 21 transcripts were common across procedures. Thus, elective surgery in older patients produces myriad changes in the immune gene transcriptome of monocytes, with many suggesting development of an immunocompromised/hypoactive phenotype. Because monocytes are strongly implicated in the quality of surgical recovery, this signature provides insight into the cellular and molecular mechanisms of the immune response to surgery and warrants further study as a potential biomarker for predicting poor outcomes in older surgical patients.

Abstract
Delirium is a common postoperative complication among older patients with many adverse outcomes. Due to a lack of validated biomarkers, prediction and monitoring of delirium by biological testing is not currently feasible. Circulating proteins in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) may reflect biological processes causing delirium. Our goal was to discover and investigate candidate protein biomarkers in preoperative CSF that were associated with the development of postoperative delirium in older surgical patients. We employed a nested case-control study design coupled with high multiplex affinity proteomics analysis to measure 1305 proteins in preoperative CSF. Twenty-four matched delirium cases and non-delirium controls were selected from the Healthier Postoperative Recovery (HiPOR) cohort, and the associations between preoperative protein levels and postoperative delirium were assessed using t-test statistics with further analysis by systems biology to elucidate delirium pathophysiology. Proteomics analysis identified 32 proteins in preoperative CSF that significantly associate with delirium (t-test p < 0.05). Due to the limited sample size, these proteins did not remain significant by multiple hypothesis testing using the Benjamini-Hochberg correction and q-value method. Three algorithms were applied to separate delirium cases from non-delirium controls. Hierarchical clustering classified 40/48 case-control samples correctly, and principal components analysis separated 43/48. The receiver operating characteristic curve yielded an area under the curve [95% confidence interval] of 0.91 [0.80-0.97]. Systems biology analysis identified several key pathways associated with risk of delirium: inflammation, immune cell migration, apoptosis, angiogenesis, synaptic depression and neuronal cell death. Proteomics analysis of preoperative CSF identified 32 proteins that might discriminate individuals who subsequently develop postoperative delirium from matched control samples. These proteins are potential candidate biomarkers for delirium and may play a role in its pathophysiology.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this article was to explore the association between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and the Charlson comorbidity index (CCI) and to provide valuable information for public health professionals and policymakers to improve quality of life and reduce mortality. STUDY DESIGN A cross-sectional analysis was conducted using data pooled from the 2020 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS). METHODS This study involved 102,393 US adult participants from the 2020 BRFSS. The zero-inflated negative binomial (ZINB) and mixed graphical model (MGM) models were used to explore the effect of ACEs on CCI and the interaction between ACEs. RESULTS In the count part of the model (CCI ≥0), sexual abuse had the strongest association with CCI (relative risk [RR] = 1.111, P < 0.001). In the logit part of the model (CCI = 0), the likelihood of having CCI equal to 0 decreased by 23.0% for household substance abuse, which was the highest percentage decrease for all ACEs. Compared to those with ACE scores equal to 0, individuals with ACE scores ≥4 have an expected CCI RR of 1.222, and the likelihood of having CCI equal to 0 decreased by 50.2%. Household substance abuse and incarceration history in the home had the strongest association among interactions of ACEs (0.85). CONCLUSIONS Associations between ACEs and CCI were observed in this study, and these associations differed between genders. The findings of this study provide data to design strategies for disease prevention and improvement of quality of life.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Blood phosphorylated tau at threonine 217 (tau-PT217) is a newly established biomarker for Alzheimer's disease and postoperative delirium in patients. However, the mechanisms and consequences of acute changes in blood tau-PT217 remain largely unknown. METHODS We investigated the effects of anesthesia/surgery on blood tau-PT217 in aged mice, and evaluated the associated changes in B cell populations, neuronal excitability in anterior cingulate cortex, and delirium-like behavior using positron emission tomography imaging, nanoneedle technology, flow cytometry, electrophysiology, and behavioral tests. RESULTS Anesthesia/surgery induced acute increases in blood tau-PT217 via enhanced generation in the lungs and release from B cells. Tau-PT217 might cross the blood-brain barrier, increasing neuronal excitability and inducing delirium-like behavior. B cell transfer and WS635, a mitochondrial function enhancer, mitigated the anesthesia/surgery-induced changes. DISCUSSION Acute increases in blood tau-PT217 may contribute to brain dysfunction and postoperative delirium. Targeting B cells or mitochondrial function may have therapeutic potential for preventing or treating these conditions.

Abstract
Since 2012, individuals with a history of opioid misuse have infrequently been observed to develop a sudden-onset amnestic syndrome associated with bilateral hippocampal-restricted diffusion on MRI. Follow-up imaging of this opioid-associated amnestic syndrome (OAS) has revealed persistent hippocampal abnormalities. Given these observations, as well as neuropathological studies demonstrating excessive tau deposition in the hippocampi and other brain regions of individuals with opioid misuse, we describe longitudinal imaging of a patient with a history of OAS from presentation through 53 months later, when tau positron emission tomography (PET) was performed. Our patient was a 21-year-old woman with a history of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder and substance use disorder, including opioids (intravenous heroin), who was hospitalized for acute-onset, dense anterograde amnesia. Her urine toxicology screen was positive for opiates. On presentation, her brain MRI showed restricted diffusion as well as T2 and fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) hyperintensity of the hippocampi and globi pallidi. On day 3, magnetic resonance spectroscopy of a right hippocampal region of interest showed a mild reduction of N-acetyl aspartate/creatine, slight elevation of choline/creatine, and the appearance of lactate/lipid and glutamate/glutamine peaks. At 4.5 months, there was resolution of restricted diffusion on MRI, although a minimal anterior T2 and FLAIR hyperintense signal in the right hippocampus persisted. However, by 53 months, when mild memory loss was reported, the hippocampi appeared normal on MRI, and [ 18 F]T807 (tau) PET showed no uptake suggestive of tau deposition. This case report supports the investigation into the hypothesis that OAS may follow a trajectory of reversible metabolic injury.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the association between olfactory function and cognition in patients and rodents. BACKGROUND Perioperative neurocognitive disorders include delayed neurocognitive recovery (dNCR). The contribution of olfactory function to dNCR remains undetermined. It is unknown whether odor enrichment could mitigate dNCR. METHODS We performed a prospective observational cohort study to determine potential association between olfactory impairment and dNCR in patients. We assessed the effects of anesthesia/surgery on olfactory and cognitive function in mice using the block test and Barnes maze. We measured interleukin-6 (IL-6), olfactory mature protein, growth-associated protein 43, mature and premature olfactory neurons, postsynaptic density 95, and synaptophysin in blood, nasal epithelium, and hippocampus of mice. Odor enrichment, IL-6 antibody, and knockout of IL-6 were used in the interaction experiments. RESULTS Patients with dNCR had worse odor identification than the patients without dNCR [preoperative: 7 (1.25, 9) vs 10 (8, 11), median (interquartile range), P <0.001; postoperative: 8 (2.25, 10) vs 10 (8, 11), P <0.001]. Olfactory impairment associated with dNCR in patients before and after adjusting age, sex, education, preoperative mini-mental state examination score, and days of the neuropsychological tests. Anesthesia/surgery induced olfactory and cognitive impairment, increased levels of IL-6 in blood and nasal epithelium, decreased amounts of olfactory receptor neurons and their markers in the nasal epithelium, and reduced amounts of synapse markers in the hippocampus of mice. These changes were attenuated by odor enrichment and IL-6 antibody. CONCLUSION The anesthesia/surgery-induced olfactory impairment may contribute to dNCR in patients and postoperative cognitive impairment in mice. Odor enrichment could be a potential intervention.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aims to identify blood biomarkers of postoperative delirium. BACKGROUND Phosphorylated tau at threonine 217 (Tau-PT217) and 181 (Tau-PT181) are new Alzheimer disease biomarkers. Postoperative delirium is associated with Alzheimer disease. We assessed associations between Tau-PT217 or Tau-PT181 and postoperative delirium. METHODS Of 491 patients (65 years old or older) who had a knee replacement, hip replacement, or laminectomy, 139 participants were eligible and included in the analysis. Presence and severity of postoperative delirium were assessed in the patients. Preoperative plasma concentrations of Tau-PT217 and Tau-PT181 were determined by a newly established Nanoneedle technology. RESULTS Of 139 participants (73±6 years old, 55% female), 18 (13%) developed postoperative delirium. Participants who developed postoperative delirium had higher preoperative plasma concentrations of Tau-PT217 and Tau-PT181 than participants who did not. Preoperative plasma concentrations of Tau-PT217 or Tau-PT181 were independently associated with postoperative delirium after adjusting for age, education, and preoperative Mini-Mental State score [odds ratio (OR) per unit change in the biomarker: 2.05, 95% confidence interval (CI):1.61-2.62, P <0.001 for Tau-PT217; and OR: 4.12; 95% CI: 2.55--6.67, P <0.001 for Tau-PT181]. The areas under the receiver operating curve for predicting delirium were 0.969 (Tau-PT217) and 0.885 (Tau-PT181). The preoperative plasma concentrations of Tau-PT217 or Tau-PT181 were also associated with delirium severity [beta coefficient (β) per unit change in the biomarker: 0.14; 95% CI: 0.09-0.19, P <0.001 for Tau-PT217; and β: 0.41; 95% CI: 0.12-0.70, P =0.006 for Tau-PT181). CONCLUSIONS Preoperative plasma concentrations of Tau-PT217 and Tau-PT181 were associated with postoperative delirium, with Tau-PT217 being a stronger indicator of postoperative delirium than Tau-PT181.

Abstract
Postoperative delirium is a common postoperative complication in older patients, and its pathogenesis and biomarkers remain largely undetermined. The gut microbiota has been shown to regulate brain function, and therefore, it is vital to explore the association between gut microbiota and postoperative delirium. Of 220 patients (65 years old or older) who had a knee replacement, hip replacement, or laminectomy under general or spinal anesthesia, 86 participants were included in the data analysis. The incidence (primary outcome) and severity of postoperative delirium were assessed for two days. Fecal swabs were collected from participants immediately after surgery. The 16S rRNA gene sequencing was used to assess gut microbiota. Principal component analyses along with a literature review were used to identify plausible gut microbiota, and three gut bacteria were further studied for their associations with postoperative delirium. Of the 86 participants [age 71.0 (69.0-76.0, 25-75% percentile of quartile), 53% female], 10 (12%) developed postoperative delirium. Postoperative gut bacteria Parabacteroides distasonis was associated with postoperative delirium after adjusting for age and sex (Odds Ratio [OR] 2.13, 95% Confidence Interval (CI): 1.09-4.17, P = 0.026). The association between delirium and both Prevotella (OR: 0.59, 95% CI: 0.33-1.04, P = 0.067) and Collinsella (OR: 0.57, 95% CI: 0.27-1.24, P = 0.158) did not meet statistical significance. These findings suggest that there may be an association between postoperative gut microbiota, specifically Parabacteroides distasonis, and postoperative delirium. However, further research is needed to confirm these findings and better understand the gut-brain axis's role in postoperative outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although sex differences in anaesthetic sensitivity have been reported, what underlies these differences is unknown. In rodents, one source of variability in females is the oestrous cycle. Here we test the hypothesis that the oestrous cycle impacts emergence from general anaesthesia. METHODS Time to emergence was measured after isoflurane (2 vol% for 1 h), sevoflurane (3 vol% for 20 min), dexmedetomidine (50 μg kg-1 i.v., infused over 10 min), or propofol (10 mg kg-1 i.v. bolus) during proestrus, oestrus, early dioestrus, and late dioestrus in female Sprague-Dawley rats (n=24). EEG recordings were taken during each test for power spectral analysis. Serum was analysed for 17β-oestradiol and progesterone concentrations. The effect of oestrous cycle stage on return of righting latency was assessed using a mixed model. The association between righting latency and serum hormone concentration was tested by linear regression. Mean arterial blood pressure and arterial blood gases were assessed in a subset of rats after dexmedetomidine and compared in a mixed model. RESULTS Oestrous cycle did not affect righting latency after isoflurane, sevoflurane, or propofol. When in the early dioestrus stage, rats emerged more rapidly from dexmedetomidine than in the proestrus (P=0.0042) or late dioestrus (P=0.0230) stage and showed reduced overall power in frontal EEG spectra 30 min after dexmedetomidine (P=0.0049). 17β-Oestradiol and progesterone serum concentrations did not correlate with righting latency. Oestrous cycle did not affect mean arterial blood pressure or blood gases during dexmedetomidine. CONCLUSIONS In female rats, the oestrous cycle significantly impacts emergence from dexmedetomidine-induced unconsciousness. However, 17β-oestradiol and progesterone serum concentrations do not correlate with the observed changes.

Abstract
Delirium is a common, morbid, and costly syndrome that is closely linked to Alzheimer's disease (AD) and AD-related dementias (ADRD) as a risk factor and outcome. Human studies of delirium have advanced our knowledge of delirium incidence and prevalence, risk factors, biomarkers, outcomes, prevention, and management. However, understanding of delirium neurobiology remains limited. Preclinical and translational models for delirium, while challenging to develop, could advance our knowledge of delirium neurobiology and inform the development of new prevention and treatment approaches. We discuss the use of preclinical and translational animal models in delirium, focusing on (1) a review of current animal models, (2) challenges and strategies for replicating elements of human delirium in animals, and (3) the utility of biofluid, neurophysiology, and neuroimaging translational markers in animals. We conclude with recommendations for the development and validation of preclinical and translational models for delirium, with the goal of advancing awareness in this important field.

Abstract
Spouses of Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients are at higher risk of developing AD dementia, but the reasons and underlying mechanism are unknown. One potential factor is gut microbiota dysbiosis, which has been associated with AD. However, it remains unclear whether the gut microbiota dysbiosis can be transmitted to non-AD individuals and contribute to the development of AD pathogenesis and cognitive impairment. The present study found that co-housing wild-type mice with AD transgenic mice or giving them AD transgenic mice feces caused AD-associated gut microbiota dysbiosis, Tau phosphorylation, and cognitive impairment. Gavage with Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium restored these changes. The oral and gut microbiota of AD patient partners resembled that of AD patients but differed from healthy controls, indicating the transmission of oral and gut microbiota and its impact on cognitive function. The underlying mechanism of these findings includes that the butyric acid-mediated acetylation of GSK3β at lysine 15 regulated its phosphorylation at serine 9, consequently impacting Tau phosphorylation. These results provide insight into a potential link between gut microbiota dysbiosis and AD and underscore the need for further research in this area.

Abstract
Clinical studies have suggested that repeated exposure to anesthesia and surgery at a young age may increase the risk of cognitive impairment. Our previous research has shown that sevoflurane can affect neurogenesis and cognitive function in young animals by altering cyclophilin D (CypD) levels and mitochondrial function. Neural progenitor cells (NPCs) migration is associated with cognitive function in developing brains. However, it is unclear whether sevoflurane can regulate NPCs migration via changes in CypD. To address this question, we treated NPCs harvested from wild-type (WT) and CypD knockout (KO) mice and young WT and CypD KO mice with sevoflurane. We used immunofluorescence staining, wound healing assay, transwell assay, mass spectrometry, and Western blot to assess the effects of sevoflurane on CypD, reactive oxygen species (ROS), doublecortin levels, and NPCs migration. We showed that sevoflurane increased levels of CypD and ROS, decreased levels of doublecortin, and reduced migration of NPCs harvested from WT mice in vitro and in WT young mice. KO of CypD attenuated these effects, suggesting that a sevoflurane-induced decrease in NPCs migration is dependent on CypD. Our findings have established a system for future studies aimed at exploring the impacts of sevoflurane anesthesia on the impairment of NPCs migration.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ketamine is an intravenous anesthetic. However, whether ketamine can induce neurotoxicity and neurobehavioral deficits remains largely unknown. Delirium is a syndrome of acute brain dysfunction associated with anesthesia and surgery in patients, and tau protein may contribute to postoperative delirium. Finally, ketamine may affect the function of the endosome, the key organelle for tau release from neurons. Therefore, we set out to determine the effects of ketamine on delirium-like behavior in mice and on tau trafficking in cultured cells. METHODS We used the buried-food test, open-field test, and Y-maze test in adult mice to assess the presence of delirium-like behavior in mice. We quantified tau amounts in the serum of mice. We used cell fraction methods to determine the effects of ketamine on tau intracellular trafficking, extracellular release, and endosome trafficking in cultured cells. RESULTS Ketamine induced delirium-like behavior in mice and increased tau amounts in serum of mice. The ketamine treatments also led to increased accumulation of endosomes, as evidenced by increased endosomal markers Rab5 and Rab7. Moreover, ketamine inhibited endosome maturation, demonstrated by decreased membrane-bound but increased cytoplasm amounts of Rab5 and Rab7. Consequently, ketamine increased tau in the endosomes of cultured cells and the cell culture medium. CONCLUSIONS These data suggest that ketamine may interfere with intracellular tau trafficking and induce delirium-like behavior, promoting future research regarding the potential neurotoxicity of anesthetics.

Abstract
The dysfunction of the blood-brain barrier could contribute to the pathogenesis of the perioperative neurocognitive disorder. In a recent study published in the British Journal of Anaesthesia, Yang and colleagues developed an innovative microfluidics-assisted blood-brain barrier device to investigate the effects of neuroimmune interactions on blood-brain barrier opening. The findings are important and timely to understanding the mechanistic insights of perioperative neurocognitive disorder.

Abstract
PURPOSE Graves' orbitopathy (GO) is an autoimmune orbital disorder. Gut microbiota dysfunction plays a vital role in autoimmune diseases, including Graves' disease (GD) and GO. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the change of gut microbiota in GD/GO using mouse model. METHODS The murine model of GD/GO was established by the challenge of adenovirus expressing thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) receptor (TSHR) (Ad-TSHR). The histological changes of orbital and thyroid tissues were analyzed by hematoxylin and eosin (H&E), Masson staining, and immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining. The fecal samples were collected for 16S rRNA gene sequencing and bioinformatics analysis. RESULTS The GD/GO model was established successfully, as manifested as the broadened eyelid, exophthalmia and conjunctive redness, severe inflammatory infiltration among thyroid glands and between extraocular muscle space, hypertrophic extraocular muscles, elevated thyroxine (T4) and decreased TSH, and positive CD34, CD40, collagen I, and α-SMA staining. A total of 222 operational taxonomic units (OUTs) were overlapped between mice in the Ad-NC and Ad-TSHR groups. The microbial composition of the samples in the two groups was mainly Bacteroidia and Clostridia, and the Ad-NC group had a significantly lower content of Bacteroidia and higher content of Clostridia. KEGG orthology analysis results revealed differences in dehydrogenase, aspartic acid, bile acid, chalcone synthase, acetyltransferase, glutamylcyclotransferase, glycogenin, and 1-phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate 5-kinase between two groups; enzyme commission (EC) analysis results revealed differences in several dehydrogenase, oxidase, thioxy/reductase between two groups; MetaCyc pathways analysis results revealed differences in isoleucine degradation, oxidation of C1 compounds, tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle IV, taurine degradation, and biosynthesis of paromamine, heme, colonic acid building blocks, butanediol, lysine/threonine/methionine, and histidine/purine/pyrimidine between two groups. CONCLUSION This study induced a mouse model of GD/GO by Ad-TSHR challenge, and gut microbiota characteristics were identified in the GD/GO mice. The Bacteroidia and Clostridia abundance was changed in the GD/GO mice. These findings may lay a solid experimental foundation for developing personalized treatment regimens for GD patients according to the individual gut microbiota. Given the potential impact of regional differences on intestinal microbiota, this study in China may provide a reference for the global overview of the gut-thyroid axis hypothesis.

Abstract
Postoperative delirium is one of the most common postoperative complications in older patients. Its pathogenesis and biomarkers, however, remain largely undetermined. Majority of human microbiota is gut microbiota and gut microbiota has been shown to regulate brain function. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the association between gut microbiota and postoperative delirium in patients. Of 220 patients (65 years old or older) who had a knee replacement, hip replacement, or laminectomy under general or spinal anesthesia, 86 participants were included in the data analysis. The incidence (primary outcome) and severity of postoperative delirium was assessed for two days. Fecal swabs were collected from participants immediately after surgery. The 16S rRNA gene sequencing was used to assess gut microbiota. Using principal component analyses along with a literature review to identify biologically plausible mechanisms, and three bacterials were studied for their associations with postoperative delirium. Of the 86 participants [age 71.0 (69.0-76.0, 25%-75% percentile of quartile), 53% female], ten (12%) developed postoperative delirium. Postoperative gut bacteria Parabacteroides distasonis (Odds Ratio [OR] 2.13, 95% Confidence Interval (CI): 1.09-4.17, P = 0.026) was associated with postoperative delirium after adjusting for age and sex. The association between delirium and both Prevotella (OR: 0.59, 95% CI: 0.33-1.04, P = 0.067) and Collinsella (OR: 0.57, 95% CI: 0.27-1.24, P = 0.158) did not meet statistical significance. These findings suggest that postoperative gut microbiota (e.g., Parabacteroides distasonis ) may serve as biomarkers in the pathogenesis of postoperative delirium, pending confirmative studies.

Abstract
Background The lateral intersecting margin (dog-ear) was a weak spot of the double stapled technique (DST), We designed "dog-ear" invagination anastomosis (DAIA), which could eliminate the "dog-ear" in laparoscopic anterior resection. Patients and methods A total of 202 patients underwent elective curative LLAR + DST (n = 143) or LLAR + DAIA (n = 59) were enrolled in the study. Propensity score matching (PSM) was used to minimize the adverse effects. The clinical data between LLAR + DST and LLAR + DAIA was compared, and the effect of factors on overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) was analyzed. Results After PSM, 53 pairs of the LLRA + DST and LLRA + DAIA patients were enrolled in the study. The LLRA + DAIA group has a higher level (3.50 ± 1.03 vs. 2.87 ± 1.10, P = 0.01) of the anastomosis than that of the LLRA + DST group. Patients in LLAR + DAIA group have a lower incidence of protecting loop ileostomy compared to LLAR + DST group (20.75% vs. 5.66%, P < 0.05). The LLRA + DAIA patients presented better rates of LARS compare to LLRA + DST patients at 6 months (major LARS 37.74% (n = 20) vs. 67.93% (n = 36); P = 0.007) and 12 months (major LARS 13.21% (n = 7) vs. 20.37% (n = 11); P = 0.03) after surgery. The OS and DFS rates were similar (P > 0.05). Conclusion Laparoscopic low anterior resection with "dog-ear" invagination anastomosis technique are well-established procedures for patients with low rectal cancer. "Dog-ear" invagination anastomosis technique may reduce the incidence of protecting loop ileostomy and significantly affect LARS score, and demonstrate a positive impact on the quality of life after surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The neuroinflammatory response to surgery can be characterized by peripheral acute plasma protein changes in blood, but corresponding, persisting alterations in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) proteins remain mostly unknown. Using the SOMAscan assay, we define acute and longer-term proteome changes associated with surgery in plasma and CSF. We hypothesized that biological pathways identified by these proteins would be in the categories of neuroinflammation and neuronal function and define neuroinflammatory proteome changes associated with surgery in older patients. METHODS SOMAscan analyzed 1305 proteins in blood plasma (n = 14) and CSF (n = 15) samples from older patients enrolled in the Role of Inflammation after Surgery for Elders (RISE) study undergoing elective hip and knee replacement surgery with spinal anesthesia. Systems biology analysis identified biological pathways enriched among the surgery-associated differentially expressed proteins in plasma and CSF. RESULTS Comparison of postoperative day 1 (POD1) to preoperative (PREOP) plasma protein levels identified 343 proteins with postsurgical changes ( P < .05; absolute value of the fold change [|FC|] > 1.2). Comparing postoperative 1-month (PO1MO) plasma and CSF with PREOP identified 67 proteins in plasma and 79 proteins in CSF with altered levels ( P < .05; |FC| > 1.2). In plasma, 21 proteins, primarily linked to immune response and inflammation, were similarly changed at POD1 and PO1MO. Comparison of plasma to CSF at PO1MO identified 8 shared proteins. Comparison of plasma at POD1 to CSF at PO1MO identified a larger number, 15 proteins in common, most of which are regulated by interleukin-6 (IL-6) or transforming growth factor beta-1 (TGFB1) and linked to the inflammatory response. Of the 79 CSF PO1MO-specific proteins, many are involved in neuronal function and neuroinflammation. CONCLUSIONS SOMAscan can characterize both short- and long-term surgery-induced protein alterations in plasma and CSF. Acute plasma protein changes at POD1 parallel changes in PO1MO CSF and suggest 15 potential biomarkers for longer-term neuroinflammation that warrant further investigation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Environmental factors contribute to autism spectrum disorder. Fentanyl, one of the most widely used opioid analgesics in anaesthesia, can induce neurotoxicity, but its role in autism remains unknown. We determined whether fentanyl induced autism-like behaviours in young mice and the underlying mechanisms. METHODS Young male and female mice received fentanyl at postnatal days 6, 8, and 10, and performed behavioural tests, including three-chamber social preference, elevated plus maze, grooming behaviour, and open-field test, from postnatal days 30-32. Expression of Grin2b, the gene encoding the GluN2B subunit of the N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor, was assessed in the anterior cingulate cortex of male mice using fluorescence in situ hybridisation histochemistry. We used bisulfite target sequencing to determine Grin2b hypermethylation sites after fentanyl treatment. In the specific activation and rescue experiments, we injected the mu opioid receptor agonist [D-Ala,2 N-MePhe,4 Gly-ol]-enkephalin (DAMGO) or Grin2b overexpression lentivirus into the anterior cingulate cortex of male mice. RESULTS Fentanyl induced autism-like behaviours in both young male and female mice, and downregulated Grin2b expression (0.49-fold [0.08] vs 1.00-fold [0.09]; P<0.01) and GluN2B protein amounts (0.38-fold [0.07] vs 1.00-fold [0.12]; P<0.01) in the anterior cingulate cortex through hypermethylation of Grin2b. The mu-opioid receptor antagonist naloxone and overexpression of Grin2b in anterior cingulate cortex attenuated the fentanyl-induced effects, whereas DAMGO injection into the anterior cingulate cortex induced autism-like behaviours. CONCLUSIONS These data suggest that fentanyl induces autism-like behaviours in young mice via an epigenetic mechanism. Further research is required to determine possible clinical relevance to autism risk.

Abstract
Background Homocysteine and C-reactive protein (CRP) may serve as biomarkers of postoperative delirium. We set out to compare the role of blood concentration of homocysteine versus CRP in predicting postoperative delirium in patients. Materials and methods In this prospective observational cohort study, the plasma concentration of preoperative homocysteine and postoperative CRP was measured. Delirium incidence and severity within 3 days postoperatively were determined using the Confusion Assessment Method and Confusion Assessment Method-Severity algorithm. Results Of 143 participants [69% female, median (interquartile range, 25th–75th) age of 71 (67–76) years] who had knee or hip surgery under general anesthesia, 44 (31%) participants developed postoperative delirium. Postoperative plasma concentration of CRP was associated with postoperative delirium incidence [adjusted odds ratio (OR) per one standard deviation change in CRP: 1.51; 95% Confidence Interval (CI): 1.05, 2.16; P = 0.026], and severity [in which each one standard deviation increase in postoperative CRP was associated with a 0.47 point (95% CI: 0.18–0.76) increase in the severity of delirium, P = 0.002] after adjusting age, sex, preoperative Mini-Mental State Examination score and the days when postoperative CRP was measured. A statistically significant interaction (adjusted P = 0.044) was also observed, in which the association between postoperative plasma concentration of CRP and postoperative delirium incidence was stronger in the participants with lower preoperative plasma concentrations of homocysteine compared to those with higher preoperative levels. Conclusion Pending validation studies, these data suggest that preoperative plasma concentration of homocysteine modifies the established association between postoperative plasma concentration of CRP and postoperative delirium incidence.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Delirium, an acute confusion status, is associated with adverse effects, including the development of Alzheimer's disease. However, the etiology and underlying mechanisms of delirium remain largely to be determined. Many patients have urinary catheterization (UC), and UC is associated with delirium. However, the cause effects of UC-associated delirium and the underlying mechanisms remain largely unknown. We, therefore, established an animal model of UC, without urinary tract infection, in mice and determined whether UC could induce delirium-like behavior in the mice and the underlying mechanism of these effects. METHODS Adult female mice (16 weeks old) had UC placement under brief isoflurane anesthesia. The delirium-like behavior was determined using our established mice model at 3, 6, 9, and 24 hours after UC placement. We measured the amounts of glucose in both blood and brain interstitial fluid, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) concentration in the cortex, and glucose transporter 1 in the cortex of mice using western blot, immunohistochemistry imaging, reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), and fluorescence at 6 hours after the UC placement. Finally, we used vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in the interaction studies. RESULTS We found that UC induced delirium-like behavior in mice at 3, 6, 9, but not 24 hours after the UC placement. UC decreased glucose amounts in brain interstitial fluid (86.38% ± 4.99% vs 100% ± 6.26%, P = .003), but not blood of mice and reduced ATP amounts (84.49% ± 8.85% vs 100% ± 10.64%, P = .031) in the cortex of mice. Finally, UC reduced both protein amount (85.49% ± 6.83% vs 100% ± 11.93%, P = .040) and messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) expression (41.95% ± 6.48% vs 100% ± 19.80%, P = .017) of glucose transporter 1 in the cortex of mice. VEGF attenuated these UC-induced changes. CONCLUSIONS These data demonstrated that UC decreased brain glucose and energy amounts via impairing the glucose transport from blood to brain, leading to delirium-like behavior in mice. These findings will promote more research to identify the etiologies and underlying mechanisms of delirium.

Abstract
Surgical pain is associated with delirium in patients, and acupuncture can treat pain. However, whether electroacupuncture can attenuate the surgical pain-associated delirium via the gut-brain axis remains unknown. Leveraging a mouse model of foot incision-induced surgical pain and delirium-like behavior, we found that electroacupuncture stimulation at specific acupoints (e.g., DU20+KI1) attenuated both surgical pain and delirium-like behavior in mice. Mechanistically, mice with incision-induced surgical pain and delirium-like behavior showed gut microbiota imbalance, microglia activation in the spinal cord, somatosensory cortex, and hippocampus, as well as an enhanced dendritic spine elimination in cortex revealed by two-photon imaging. The electroacupuncture regimen that alleviated surgical pain and delirium-like behavior in mice also effectively restored the gut microbiota balance, prevented the microglia activation, and reversed the dendritic spine elimination. These data demonstrated a potentially important gut-brain interactive mechanism underlying the surgical pain-induced delirium in mice. Pending further studies, these findings revealed a possible therapeutic approach in preventing and/or treating postoperative delirium by using perioperative electroacupuncture stimulation in patients.

Abstract
Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia in older adults and has a devastating impact on the patient's quality of life, which creates a significant socio-economic burden for the affected individuals and their families. In recent years, studies have identified a relationship between periodontitis and AD. Periodontitis is an infectious/inflammatory disease that destroys the supporting periodontal structure leading to tooth loss. Dysbiosis of the oral microbiome plays a significant role in the onset and development of periodontitis exhibiting a shift to overgrowth of pathobionts in the normal microflora with increasing local inflammation. Fusobacterium nucleatum is a common pathogen that significantly overgrows in periodontitis and has also been linked to various systemic diseases. Earlier studies have reported that antibodies to F. nucleatum can be detected in the serum of patients with AD or cognitive impairment, but a causal relationship and a plausible mechanism linking the two diseases have not been identified. In this study, we conducted both in vivo and in vitro experiments and found that F. nucleatum activates microglial cells causing morphological changes, accelerated proliferation and enhanced expression of TNF-α and IL-1β in microglial cells. In our in vivo experiments, we found that F. nucleatum-induced periodontitis resulted in the exacerbation of Alzheimer's symptoms in 5XFAD mice including increased cognitive impairment, beta-amyloid accumulation and Tau protein phosphorylation in the mouse cerebrum. This study may suggest a possible link between a periodontal pathogen and AD and F. nucleatum could be a risk factor in the pathogenesis of AD. We are currently further identifying the pathways through which F. nucleatum modulates molecular elements in enhancing AD symptoms and signs. Data are available via ProteomeXchange with identifier PXD033147.

Abstract
AIM To determine the correlations between four quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) parameters derived from intravoxel incoherent motion diffusion-weighted images (IVIM DWI) and the semi-quantitative Spondyloarthritis Research Consortium of Canada (SPARCC) score of the sacroiliac joint (SIJ) and five clinical activity indices in patients with axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA). AND METHODS A total of 75 patients with axSpA and complete clinical activity indices and SIJ MRI were enrolled to this prospective study. Univariable and multivariable linear regression analyses were performed to evaluate correlations between MRI parameters and clinical activity indices after controlling for confounders. All data were further analysed using Pearson's correlation coefficients (r). RESULTS Only pure diffusion coefficient (D) and incoherent perfusion related microcirculation (D∗) were found to be independently positively correlated with several clinical activity indices (all p<0.05). Positive correlations were observed between D and the Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI), the Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index (BASFI), Patient Global Assessment (PGA), extent of influence of pain, with r of 0.605, 0.402, 0.319, and 0.485 (all p<0.0125). D∗ correlated positively with BASDAI, BASFI, and PGA (r=0.436, 0.356, 0.301, respectively; all p<0.0125). CONCLUSION D and D∗ derived from IVIM DWI could be associated with some disease activity indices in patients with axSpA; apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and SPARCC scores were not correlated with these indices. IVIM DWI may be a useful tool for the quantitative assessment of disease activity in patients with axSpA.

Abstract
Perioperative neurocognitive disorder may develop in vulnerable patients following major operation. While neuroinflammation is linked to the cognitive effects of surgery, how surgery and immune signaling modulate neuronal circuits, leading to learning and memory impairment remains unknown. Using in vivo two-photon microscopy, Ca2+ activity and postsynaptic dendritic spines of layer 5 pyramidal neurons in the primary motor cortex of a mouse model of thoracic surgery are imaged. It is found that surgery causes neuronal hypoactivity, impairments in learning-dependent dendritic spine formation, and deficits in multiple learning tasks. These neuronal and synaptic alterations in the cortex are mediated by peripheral monocytes through the NLRP3 inflammasome-dependent IL-1β production. Depleting peripheral monocytes or inactivating NLRP3 inflammasomes before surgery reduces levels of IL-1β and ameliorates neuronal and behavioral deficits in mice. Furthermore, adoptive transfer of IL-1β-producing myeloid cells from mice undertaking thoracic surgery is sufficient to induce neuronal and behavioral deficits in naïve mice. Together, these findings suggest that surgery leads to excessive NLRP3 activation in monocytes and elevated IL-1β signaling, which in turn causes neuronal hypoactivity and perioperative neurocognitive disorder.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the distribution of HIV-1 genetic subtypes and pretreatment drug resistance (PDR) among men who have sex with men (MSM) from 19 cities of 6 provinces in China. Methods: From April to November 2019, 574 plasma samples of ART-naive HIV-1 infected MSM were collected from 19 cities in Hebei, Shandong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, and Guangdong provinces, total ribonucleic acid (RNA) was extracted and amplified the HIV-1 pol gene region by nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) after reverse transcription. Then sequences were used to construct a phylogenetic tree to determine genetic subtypes and submitted to the Stanford drug resistance database for drug resistance analysis. Results: A total of 479 samples were successfully amplified by PCR. The HIV-1 genetic subtypes included CRF01_AE, CRF07_BC, B, CRF55_01B, CRF59_01B, CRF65_cpx, CRF103_01B, CRF67_01B, CRF68_01B and unrecognized subtype, which accounted for 43.4%, 36.3%, 6.3%, 5.9%, 0.8%, 0.8%, 0.4%, 0.4%, 0.2% and 5.5%, respectively. The distribution of genetic subtypes among provinces is statistically different (χ2=44.141, P<0.001). The overall PDR rate was 4.6% (22/479), the drug resistance rate of non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors, nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors, and protease inhibitors were 3.5% (17/479), 0.8% (4/479) and 0.2% (1/479), respectively. The PDR rate of recent infections was significantly higher than that of long-term infections (χ2=4.634, P=0.031). Conclusions: The HIV-1 genetic subtypes among MSM infected with HIV-1 from 19 cities of 6 provinces in China are diverse, and the distribution of subtypes is different among provinces. The overall PDR rate is low, while the PDR rate of recent infections was significantly higher than that of long-term infections, suggesting the surveillance of PDR in recent infections should be strengthened.

Abstract
Delirium is the most common postoperative complication in older patients after prolonged anesthesia and surgery and is associated with accelerated cognitive decline and dementia. The neuronal pathogenesis of postoperative delirium is largely unknown. The unfolded protein response (UPR) is an adaptive reaction of cells to perturbations in endoplasmic reticulum function. Dysregulation of UPR has been implicated in a variety of diseases including Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. However, whether UPR plays a role in anesthesia-induced cognitive impairment remains unexplored. By performing in vivo calcium imaging in the mouse frontal cortex, we showed that exposure of aged mice to the inhalational anesthetic sevoflurane for 2 hours resulted in a marked elevation of neuronal activity during recovery, which lasted for at least 24 hours after the end of exposure. Concomitantly, sevoflurane anesthesia caused a prolonged increase in phosphorylation of PERK and eIF2α, the markers of UPR activation. Genetic deletion or pharmacological inhibition of PERK prevented neuronal hyperactivity and memory impairment induced by sevoflurane. Moreover, we showed that PERK suppression also reversed various molecular and synaptic changes induced by sevoflurane anesthesia, including alterations of synaptic NMDA receptors, tau protein phosphorylation, and dendritic spine loss. Together, these findings suggest that sevoflurane anesthesia causes abnormal UPR in the aged brain, which contributes to neuronal hyperactivity, synapse loss and cognitive decline in aged mice.

Abstract
Inhalation anesthetics isoflurane and sevoflurane have been widely used in clinical practice for anesthesia. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the faster recovery from sevoflurane anesthesia than isoflurane anesthesia remain largely undetermined. Herein, we use RNA-seq, RNA interference, quantitative real-time PCR and western blotting to explore the mechanisms of recovery from isoflurane and sevoflurane anesthesia in the migratory locusts. Although the migratory locusts show similar anesthetic responses to these two chemicals in corresponding half-maximal effective concentrations (EC50s), the recovery from sevoflurane anesthesia is significantly faster than that for isoflurane anesthesia after 30 min of anesthetic exposure. Transcriptome analysis shows that those transcripts involved in cytoskeletal components, Janus kinase (JAK) pathway and cuticle protein are differentially expressed in locust brains in response to isoflurane and sevoflurane. RNAi knockdown confirms that Actin, Myosin-like protein 84B (Mlp84B), JAK and cuticle protein NCP56 do not affect anesthetic response of the locusts to these two chemical anesthetics. Moreover, actin, Mlp84B and NCP56 do not affect differential recovery from isoflurane and sevoflurane anesthesia, whereas RNAi knockdown of JAK and its partner STAT5B does not affect anesthetic recovery from isoflurane but elongates recovery duration from sevoflurane anesthesia. Thus, JAK may mediate faster recovery from sevoflurane anesthesia than from isoflurane anesthesia in the migratory locust. This finding provides novel insights into the molecular mechanism underlying faster recovery from sevoflurane anesthesia than isoflurane anesthesia.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a crippling condition that affects millions of elderly adults each year, yet there remains a serious need for improved methods of diagnosis. Metabolomic analysis has been proposed as a potential methodology to better investigate and understand the progression of this disease; however, studies of human brain tissue metabolomics are challenging, due to sample limitations and ethical considerations. Comprehensive comparisons of imaging measurements in animal models to identify similarities and differences between aging- and AD-associated metabolic changes should thus be tested and validated for future human non-invasive studies. In this paper, we present the results of our highresolution magic angle spinning (HRMAS) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) studies of AD and wild-type (WT) mouse models, based on animal age, brain regions, including cortex vs. hippocampus, and disease status. Our findings suggest the ability of HRMAS NMR to differentiate between AD and WT mice using brain metabolomics, which potentially can be implemented in in vivo evaluations.
