    Abstract Perfluorocompound (PFC) gases play vital roles in microelectronics processing. Requirements for ultra-high purities traditionally necessitate use of virgin sources and thereby hinder the capture, purification, and reuse of these costly gases. Most importantly, gaseous PFCs are incredibly potent greenhouse gases with atmospheric lifetimes on the order of 10

    Abstract While RNA expression appears to be altered in several brain disorders, the constraints of postmortem analysis make it impractical for well-powered population studies and biomarker development. Given that the unique molecular composition of neurons are reflected in their extracellular vesicles (EVs), we hypothesized that the fractionation of neuron derived EVs provides an opportunity to specifically profile their encapsulated contents noninvasively from blood. To investigate this hypothesis, we determined miRNA expression in microtubule associated protein 1B (MAP1B)-enriched serum EVs derived from neurons from a large cohort of individuals with schizophrenia and nonpsychiatric comparison participants. We observed dysregulation of miRNA in schizophrenia subjects, in particular those with treatment-resistance and severe cognitive deficits. These data support the hypothesis that schizophrenia is associated with alterations in posttranscriptional regulation of synaptic gene expression and provides an example of the potential utility of tissue-specific EV analysis in brain disorders.

    Abstract Both natural enzymatic systems and synthetic porous material catalysts utilize well-defined and uniform channels to dictate reaction selectivities on the basis of size or shape. Mimicry of this design element in homogeneous systems is generally difficult owing to the flexibility inherent in most small molecular species. Herein, we report the synthesis of a tripodal ligand scaffold that orients a narrow and rigid cavity atop accessible metal coordination space. The permanent void is formed through a macrocyclization reaction whereby the 3,5-dihydroxyphenyl arms are covalently linked through methylene bridges. Deprotonative metallation leads to anionic and coordinatively unsaturated complexes of divalent cobalt, nickel, and zinc. An analogous series of trigonal monopyramidal complexes bearing a nonmacrocyclized variant of the tripodal ligand are also reported. Physical characterization of the coordination complexes has been carried out using multiple spectroscopic techniques (NMR, EPR, and UV-vis), cyclic voltammetry, and X-ray diffraction. Complexes of the macrocyclized [L

    Abstract Peripheral nerve injuries (PNIs) occur frequently and can lead to devastating and permanent sensory and motor function disabilities. Systemic tacrolimus (FK506) administration has been shown to hasten recovery and improve functional outcomes after PNI repair. Unfortunately, high systemic levels of FK506 can result in adverse side effects. The localized administration of FK506 could provide the neuroregenerative benefits of FK506 while avoiding systemic, off-target side effects. This study investigates the utility of a novel FK506-impregnated polyester urethane urea (PEUU) nerve wrap to treat PNI in a previously validated rat infraorbital nerve (ION) transection and repair model. ION function was assessed by microelectrode recordings of trigeminal ganglion cells responding to controlled vibrissae deflections in ION-transected and -repaired animals, with and without the nerve wrap. Peristimulus time histograms (PSTHs) having 1 ms bins were constructed from spike times of individual single units. Responses to stimulus onsets (ON responses) were calculated during a 20 ms period beginning 1 ms after deflection onset; this epoch captures the initial, transient phase of the whisker-evoked response. Compared to no-wrap controls, rats with PEUU-FK506 wraps functionally recovered earlier, displaying larger response magnitudes. With nerve wrap treatment, FK506 blood levels up to six weeks were measured nearly at the limit of quantification (LOQ ≥ 2.0 ng/mL); whereas the drug concentrations within the ION and muscle were much higher, demonstrating the local delivery of FK506 to treat PNI. An immunohistological assessment of ION showed increased myelin expression for animals assigned to neurorrhaphy with PEUU-FK506 treatment compared to untreated or systemic-FK506-treated animals, suggesting that improved PNI outcomes using PEUU-FK506 is mediated by the modulation of Schwann cell activity.

    Abstract Acute ethanol (EtOH) intoxication results in several maladaptive behaviors that may be attributable, in part, to the effects of EtOH on neural activity in medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC). The acute effects of EtOH on mPFC function have been largely described as inhibitory. However, translating these observations on function into a mechanism capable of delineating acute EtOH's effects on behavior has proven difficult. This review highlights the role of acute EtOH on electrophysiological measurements of mPFC function and proposes that interpreting these changes through the lens of dynamical systems theory is critical to understand the mechanisms that mediate the effects of EtOH intoxication on behavior. Specifically, the present review posits that the effects of EtOH on mPFC N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptors are critical for the expression of impaired behavior following EtOH consumption. This hypothesis is based on the observation that recurrent activity in cortical networks is supported by NMDA receptors, and, when disrupted, may lead to impairments in cognitive function. To evaluate this hypothesis, we discuss the representation of mPFC neural activity in low-dimensional, dynamic state spaces. This approach has proven useful for identifying the underlying computations necessary for the production of behavior. Ultimately, we hypothesize that EtOH-related alterations to NMDA receptor function produces alterations that can be effectively conceptualized as impairments in attractor dynamics and provides insight into how acute EtOH disrupts forms of cognition that rely on mPFC function. This article is part of the special Issue on 'Neurocircuitry Modulating Drug and Alcohol Abuse'.

    Abstract Objective: Relatively few women undergo open maternal-fetal surgery (OMFS) for myelomeningocele (MMC) despite the potential to reverse hindbrain herniation, reduce the rate of infant shunt-dependent hydrocephalus, and improve ambulation. These benefits have the potential to significantly reduce morbidity and lifetime medical care. In this study, the authors examined demographics and socioeconomic variables of women who were offered and opted for OMFS for MMC versus postnatal MMC surgery, with the purpose of identifying variables driving the disparity between these two patient populations.
    Methods: This was a retrospective case-control study of patients who underwent evaluation for OMFS for MMC at a single academic hospital from 2015 to 2020. Race/ethnicity, primary insurance type, zip code, and BMI were collected and compared by treatment received and eligibility status for OMFS. Prevalence odds ratios were used to test for associations between each independent variable and the two outcomes. Logistical regression models were utilized to determine significant predictors of undergoing OMFS and being eligible for OMFS.
    Results: Of 96 women, 36 underwent OMFS for MMC, 40 received postnatal repair, and 20 either terminated the pregnancy or received care at another institution. Overall, 66 (68.8%) women were White, 14 (14.6%) were Black, 13 (13.5%) were Hispanic/Latinx, 1 (1.0%) was Asian, and 2 (2.1%) identified as other or multiple races. Among women who underwent OMFS for MMC, 27 (75.0%) were White, 2 (5.6%) were Black, 4 (11.1%) were Hispanic/Latinx, 1 (2.8%) was Asian, and 2 (5.6%) identified as other or multiple races. Having private insurance or TRICARE was associated with higher odds of being eligible for OMFS compared with women who were uninsured or had Medicaid when accounting for race and income (OR 3.87, 95% CI 1.51-9.59).
    Conclusions: The population evaluated and treated for MMC was homogeneous and insufficiently representative of the population affected by the disease. This finding raises concern, as it suggests underlying barriers to formal evaluation for OMFS for MMC. Insurance status and BMI have a significant association between the access to and election of OMFS, revealing socioeconomic disparities. This was the first study to explore sociodemographic characteristics of patient populations who may be at risk for limited access to highly specialized fetal surgical care.
