    Abstract Rasmussen's encephalitis (RE) is a rare condition of unknown etiology that causes a severe chronically neurological disorder with mostly affecting children. The main clinical feature of RE includes frequent seizures with drug-resistant, unilateral hemispheric atrophy, and progressive neurological deficits. In this review, we summarized five pathogenesis on the basis of the current research including virus infection, antibody-mediated degeneration, cell-mediated immunity, microglia-induced degeneration, and genetic mutations. So far, no exact virus in RE brain tissue or definite antigen in humoral immune system was confirmed as the determined etiology. The importance of cytotoxic CD8

    Abstract Viral encephalitis continues to be a significant public health concern. In our previous study, we discovered a lower expression of antiviral factors, such as IFN-β, STING and IFI16, in the brain tissues of patients with Rasmussen's encephalitis (RE), a rare chronic neurological disorder often occurred in children, characterized by unihemispheric brain atrophy. Furthermore, a higher cumulative viral score of human herpes viruses (HHVs) was also found to have a significant positive correlation with the unihemispheric atrophy in RE. Type I IFNs (IFN-I) signaling is essential for innate anti-infection response by binding to IFN-α/β receptor (IFNAR). In this study, we infected WT mice and IFNAR-deficient A6 mice with herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) via periocular injection to investigate the relationship between IFN-I signaling and HHVs-induced brain lesions. While all mice exhibited typical viral encephalitis lesions in their brains, HSV-induced epilepsy was only observed in A6 mice. The gene expression matrix, functional enrichment analysis and protein-protein interaction network revealed four gene models that were positively related with HSV-induced epilepsy. Additionally, ten key genes with the highest scores were identified. Taken together, these findings indicate that intact IFN-I signaling can effectively limit HHVs induced neural symptoms and brain lesions, thereby confirming the positive correlation between IFN-I signaling repression and brain atrophy in RE and other HHVs encephalitis.

    Abstract Rasmussen's encephalitis (RE) is rare neurological diseases characterized as epilepsia partialis continua, invariably hemiparesis, and cognitive impairment. This disease is encountered frequently in childhood and presents with progressive atrophy of the unilateral hemisphere, and there are also sustained neurological complications. Owing to uncertain pathogenesis, the most effective way to limit the influence of seizures currently is cerebral hemispherectomy. In this review, we focus on four main lines of pathogenesis: virus infection, antibody-mediated, cell-mediated immunity, and microglia activation. Although one or more antigenic epitopes may give rise to infiltrating T cell responses in RE brain tissue, no exact antigen was confirmed as the definite cause of the disease. On the other hand, the appearance of antibodies related with RE seem to be a secondary pathological process. Synthetic studies have suggested an adaptive immune mechanism mediated by CD8

    Abstract While Ru owns superior catalytic activity toward hydrogen oxidation reaction and cost advantages, the catalyst deactivation under high anodic potential range severely limits its potential to replace the Pt benchmark catalyst. Unveiling the deactivation mechanism of Ru and correspondingly developing protection strategies remain a great challenge. Herein, we develop atomic Pt-functioned Ru nanoparticles with excellent anti-deactivation feature and meanwhile employ advanced operando characterization tools to probe the underlying roles of Pt in the anti-deactivation. Our studies reveal the introduced Pt single atoms effectively prevent Ru from oxidative passivation and consequently preserve the interfacial water network for the critical H* oxidative release during catalysis. Clearly understanding the deactivation nature of Ru and Pt-induced anti-deactivation under atomic levels could provide valuable insights for rationally designing stable Ru-based catalysts for hydrogen oxidation reaction and beyond.

    Abstract Electrochemical hydrogenation of acetonitrile based on well-developed proton exchange membrane electrolyzers holds great promise for practical production of ethylamine. However, the local acidic condition of proton exchange membrane results in severe competitive proton reduction reaction and poor selection toward acetonitrile hydrogenation. Herein, we conduct a systematic study to screen various metallic catalysts and discover Pd/C exhibits a 43.8% ethylamine Faradaic efficiency at the current density of 200 mA cm

    Abstract Objective: Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is an adjunctive treatment for pharmacoresistant epilepsy. Encephalomalacia is one of the most common MRI findings in the preoperative evaluation of patients with pharmacoresistant epilepsy. This is the first study that aimed to determine the effectiveness of VNS for pharmacoresistant epilepsy secondary to encephalomalacia and evaluate the potential predictors of VNS effectiveness.
    Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the seizure outcomes of VNS with at least 1 year of follow-up in all patients with pharmacoresistant epilepsy secondary to encephalomalacia. Based on the effectiveness of VNS (≥50% or <50% reduction in seizure frequency), patients were divided into two subgroups: responders and non-responders. Preoperative data were analyzed to screen for potential predictors of VNS effectiveness.
    Results: A total of 93 patients with epilepsy secondary to encephalomalacia who underwent VNS therapy were recruited. Responders were found in 64.5% of patients, and 16.1% of patients achieved seizure freedom at the last follow-up. In addition, the responder rate increased over time, with 36.6, 50.5, 64.5, and 65.4% at the 3-, 6-, 12-, and 24-month follow-ups, respectively. After multivariate analysis, seizure onset in adults (>18 years old) (OR: 0.236, 95%CI: 0.059-0.949) was found to be a positive predictor, and the bilateral interictal epileptic discharges (IEDs) (OR: 3.397, 95%CI: 1.148-10.054) and the bilateral encephalomalacia on MRI (OR: 3.193, 95%CI: 1.217-8.381) were found to be negative predictors of VNS effectiveness.
    Conclusion: The results demonstrated the effectiveness and safety of VNS therapy in patients with pharmacoresistant epilepsy secondary to encephalomalacia. Patients with seizure onset in adults (>18 years old), unilateral IEDs, or unilateral encephalomalacia on MRI were found to have better seizure outcomes after VNS therapy.

    Abstract Copper is well-known to be selective to primary amines via electrocatalytic nitriles hydrogenation. However, the correlation between the local fine structure and catalytic selectivity is still illusive. Herein, we find that residual lattice oxygen in oxide-derived Cu nanowires (OD-Cu NWs) plays vital roles in boosting the acetonitrile electroreduction efficiency. Especially at high current densities of more than 1.0 A cm

    Abstract Focal cortical dysplasia (FCD), a common malformation of cortical development, is frequently associated with pharmacoresistant epilepsy in both children and adults. Adenosine is an inhibitory modulator of brain activity and a prospective anti-seizure agent with potential for clinical translation. Our previous results demonstrated that the major adenosine-metabolizing enzyme adenosine kinase (ADK) was upregulated in balloon cells (BCs) within FCD type IIB lesions, suggesting that dysfunction of the adenosine system is implicated in the pathophysiology of FCD. In our current study, we therefore performed a comprehensive analysis of adenosine signaling in surgically resected cortical specimens from patients with FCD type I and type II via immunohistochemistry and immunoblot analysis. Adenosine enzyme signaling was assessed by quantifying the levels of the key enzymes of adenosine metabolism, i.e., ADK, adenosine deaminase (ADA), and ecto-5'-nucleotidase (CD73). Adenosine receptor signaling was assessed by quantifying the levels of adenosine A
