    Abstract Background: The assessment of deep brain stimulation (DBS) as a therapeutic alternative for treating Alzheimer disease (AD) is ongoing. We aimed to determine the effects of intracranial self-stimulation at the medial forebrain bundle (MFB-ICSS) on spatial memory, neurodegeneration, and serum expression of microRNAs (miRNAs) in a rat model of sporadic AD created by injection of streptozotocin. We hypothesized that MFB-ICSS would reverse the behavioural effects of streptozotocin and modulate hippocampal neuronal density and serum levels of the miRNAs.
    Methods: We performed Morris water maze and light-dark transition tests. Levels of various proteins, specifically amyloid-β precurser protein (APP), phosphorylated tau protein (pTAU), and sirtuin 1 (SIRT1), and neurodegeneration were analyzed by Western blot and Nissl staining, respectively. Serum miRNA expression was measured by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction.
    Results: Male rats that received streptozotocin had increased hippocampal levels of pTAU S202/T205, APP, and SIRT1 proteins; increased neurodegeneration in the CA1, dentate gyrus (DG), and dorsal tenia tecta; and worse performance in the Morris water maze task. No differences were observed in miRNAs, except for miR-181c and miR-let-7b. After MFB-ICSS, neuronal density in the CA1 and DG regions and levels of miR-181c in streptozotocin-treated and control rats were similar. Rats that received streptozotocin and underwent MFB-ICSS also showed lower levels of miR-let-7b and better spatial learning than rats that received streptozotocin without MFB-ICSS.
    Limitations: The reversal by MFB-ICSS of deficits induced by streptozotocin was fairly modest.
    Conclusion: Spatial memory performance, hippocampal neurodegeneration, and serum levels of miR-let-7b and miR-181c were affected by MFB-ICSS under AD-like conditions. Our results validate the MFB as a potential target for DBS and lend support to the use of specific miRNAs as promising biomarkers of the effectiveness of DBS in combatting AD-associated cognitive deficits.

    Abstract We introduce a new calibration method for dual energy CT (DECT) based on material decomposition (MD) maps, specifically iodine and water MD maps. The aim of this method is to provide the first DECT calibration based on MD maps. The experiments were carried out using a general electric (GE) revolution CT scanner with ultra-fast kV switching and used a density phantom by GAMMEX for calibration and evaluation. The calibration process involves several steps. First, we tested the ability of MD values to reproduce Hounsfield unit (HU) values of single energy CT (SECT) acquisitions and it was found that the errors were below 1%, validating their use for HU reproduction. Next, the different definitions of computed

    Abstract In Plasmodium falciparum, the parasite responsible for the most severe forms of human malaria, many fundamental processes are controlled at the transcriptional level. Studies on diverse aspects of basic parasite biology as well as molecular epidemiology studies often rely on the ability to accurately measure transcript levels, but this is complicated by the cyclic expression patterns of the majority of malaria parasite genes. Here, we provide a complete workflow to measure transcript levels in P. falciparum intraerythrocytic blood stages, overcoming the confounding factors that are commonly encountered. The method described covers all the steps from synchronization of parasite cultures to reverse transcriptase quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) analysis.

    Abstract No curative or fully effective treatments are currently available for Alzheimer's disease (AD), the most common form of dementia. Electrical stimulation of deep brain areas has been proposed as a novel neuromodulatory therapeutic approach. Previous research from our lab demonstrates that intracranial self-stimulation (ICSS) targeting medial forebrain bundle (MFB) facilitates explicit and implicit learning and memory in rats with age or lesion-related memory impairment. At a molecular level, MFB-ICSS modulates the expression of plasticity and neuroprotection-related genes in memory-related brain areas. On this basis, we suggest that MFB could be a promising stimulation target for AD treatment. In this study, we aimed to assess the effects of MFB-ICSS on both explicit memory as well as the levels of neuropathological markers ptau and drebrin (DBN) in memory-related areas, in an AD rat model obtained by Aβ icv-injection. A total of 36 male rats were trained in the Morris water maze on days 26-30 after Aβ injection and tested on day 33. Results demonstrate that this Aβ model displayed spatial memory impairment in the retention test, accompanied by changes in the levels of DBN and ptau in lateral entorhinal cortex and hippocampus, resembling pathological alterations in early AD. Administration of MFB-ICSS treatment consisting of 5 post-training sessions to AD rats managed to reverse the memory deficits as well as the alteration in ptau and DBN levels. Thus, this paper reports both cognitive and molecular effects of a post-training reinforcing deep brain stimulation procedure in a sporadic AD model for the first time.
