    Abstract Memory generalization is the ability to abstract knowledge from prior experiences and is critical for flexible behavior in novel situations. Here, we describe a protocol for simultaneous recording of hippocampal (area CA1)-prefrontal cortical neural ensembles in Long-Evans rats during task generalization across two distinct environments. We describe steps for building and assembling experimental apparatuses, animal preparation and surgery, and performing experiments. We then detail procedures for histology, data processing, and assessing population geometry using Uniform Manifold Approximation and Projection. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Tang et al. (2023).

    Abstract The ability to abstract information to guide decisions during navigation across changing environments is essential for adaptation and requires the integrity of the hippocampal-prefrontal circuitry. The hippocampus encodes navigational information in a cognitive map, but it remains unclear how cognitive maps are transformed across hippocampal-prefrontal circuits to support abstraction and generalization. Here, we simultaneously record hippocampal-prefrontal ensembles as rats generalize navigational rules across distinct environments. We find that, whereas hippocampal representational maps maintain specificity of separate environments, prefrontal maps generalize across environments. Furthermore, while both maps are structured within a neural manifold of population activity, they have distinct representational geometries. Prefrontal geometry enables abstraction of rule-informative variables, a representational format that generalizes to novel conditions of existing variable classes. Hippocampal geometry lacks such abstraction. Together, these findings elucidate how cognitive maps are structured into distinct geometric representations to support abstraction and generalization while maintaining memory specificity.

    Abstract When navigating through space, we must maintain a representation of our position in real time; when recalling a past episode, a memory can come back in a flash. Interestingly, the brain's spatial representation system, including the hippocampus, supports these two distinct timescale functions. How are neural representations of space used in the service of both real-world navigation and internal mnemonic processes? Recent progress has identified sequences of hippocampal place cells, evolving at multiple timescales in accordance with either navigational behaviors or internal oscillations, that underlie these functions. We review experimental findings on experience-dependent modulation of these sequential representations and consider how they link real-world navigation to time-compressed memories. We further discuss recent work suggesting the prevalence of these sequences beyond hippocampus and propose that these multiple-timescale mechanisms may represent a general algorithm for organizing cell assemblies, potentially unifying the dual roles of the spatial representation system in memory and navigation.

    Abstract Mee tea, one of the major types of green tea in China, is often used for export because of its elegant appearance, high fragrance and strong taste. However, the quality of tea differs greatly due to the difference in raw material selection and production technology level. In order to accurately and quickly differentiate different grades of Mee tea, fuzzy fast pseudoinverse linear discriminant analysis (FFPLDA) was proposed based on fast pseudoinverse linear discriminant analysis (FPLDA) for extracting discriminant information from near-infrared (NIR) spectra. Firstly, NIR spectra of Mee tea samples were acquired, and then they were preprocessed by multiplicative scatter correlation (MSC). Secondly, the compression of data was achieved by principal component analysis (PCA). Thirdly, linear discriminant analysis (LDA), FPLDA, FFPLDA and fuzzy Foley-Sammon transformation (FFST) were respectively performed to retrieve discriminant information from NIR data. Finally, the K-nearest neighbor (KNN) was utilized to classify Mee tea grades. In this study, experimental results showed that the accuracy of FFPLDA was higher than that of LDA, FFST and FPLDA. Therefore, NIR spectroscopy coupled with FFPLDA and KNN has a good effect in discrimination of Mee tea grades and also a great application potential.

    Abstract Atherosclerosis (AS) is the main cause of cardiovascular diseases. However, the role of AQP9 in AS is not well understood. In the present study, we predicted that miR-330-3p might regulate AQP9 in AS through bioinformatics analysis, and we established AS model using ApoE⁻/⁻ mouse (C57BL/6) with high-fat diet (HFD). Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) and Oil red O staining were used to determine atherosclerotic lesions. CCK8 and Ethyny1-2-deoxyuridine (EdU) assays were used to investigate human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) proliferation after treatment with 100 μg/mL ox-LDL. Wound scratch healing and transwell assays were used to measure the cell invasion and migration ability. Flow cytometry assay was used to determine apoptosis and cell cycle. A dual-luciferase reporter assay was performed to investigate the binding of miR-330-3p and AQP9. We identified that the expression of miR-330-3p in AS mice model decreased while the expression level of AQP9 increased. miR-330-3p overexpression or down-regulation of AQP9 could reduce cell apoptosis, promote cell proliferation, and migration after ox-LDL treatment. Dual-luciferase reporter assay result presented that AQP9 was directly inhibited by miR-330-3p. These results suggest that miR-330-3p inhibits AS by regulating AQP9. miR-330-3p/AQP9 axis may be a new therapeutic target for AS.

    Abstract Background: Urolithiasis is a multi-etiological disease resulting from a combination of environmental and genetic factors. One of the most challenging aspects of this disease is its high recurrence rate. For most patients, an in-depth metabolic evaluation may reveal the presence of urinary stones. The fact that different urinary stone-related compounds (USRCs) are measured by different methods renders the metabolic evaluation of urolithiasis quite tedious and complex.
    Methods: A three-channel ion chromatograph (IC) that automatically measures the concentration of common metabolic indicators of urolithiasis in urine (i.e., oxalate, citrate, uric acid, calcium, and magnesium) was developed to improve the efficiency. To validate its precision and specificity, standard curves were prepared using working solution of these indicators. 100 standard solutions of these indicators were measured with our new IC and three other ICs as the control instruments; analyte concentrations in 100 24-h urine samples from volunteers and 135 calculi patients were also measured.
    Results: All analytes had good linear relationships in concentration ranges of 0-10 mg/L. The precision experiments in the standard and urine samples showed that the measurement errors of the newly developed IC were all less than 5%. In urine, the recovery rate ranged from 99.6 to 100.4%, the coefficient of variation ranged from 1.39 to 2.99%, and the results matched between our newly developed IC and the control ICs. The results of the efficiency test showed that we can finish the analysis at the average number of 14 people per day with the new IC. While the average number in the control group is 3.85/day (p = 0.000).
    Conclusions: Overall, this multi-channel system significantly improves the efficiency of metabolic evaluation while retaining accuracy and precision.

    Abstract The prefrontal cortex and hippocampus are crucial for memory-guided decision-making. Neural activity in the hippocampus exhibits place-cell sequences at multiple timescales, including slow behavioral sequences (~seconds) and fast theta sequences (~100-200 ms) within theta oscillation cycles. How prefrontal ensembles interact with hippocampal sequences to support decision-making is unclear. Here, we examined simultaneous hippocampal and prefrontal ensemble activity in rats during learning of a spatial working-memory decision task. We found clear theta sequences in prefrontal cortex, nested within its behavioral sequences. In both regions, behavioral sequences maintained representations of current choices during navigation. In contrast, hippocampal theta sequences encoded alternatives for deliberation and were coordinated with prefrontal theta sequences that predicted upcoming choices. During error trials, these representations were preserved to guide ongoing behavior, whereas replay sequences during inter-trial periods were impaired prior to navigation. These results establish cooperative interaction between hippocampal and prefrontal sequences at multiple timescales for memory-guided decision-making.

    Abstract Background: Immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy has demonstrated impressive clinical benefits in multiple tumor types. TQB2450, a novel monoclonal antibody targeting programmed cell death ligand 1, has shown safety and efficacy in preclinical studies.
    Objectives: This first-in-human study aimed to evaluate the safety/tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), immunogenicity, and preliminary antitumor activity of TQB2450 in patients with advanced malignant tumors.
    Design and methods: In this phase I study, eligible patients with advanced malignant tumors received intravenous TQB2450 once every 3 weeks. This study consisted of a 3 + 3 dose-escalation phase (1-30 mg/kg) and a specific dose-expansion phase (1200 mg). The primary endpoints were maximum tolerated dose (MTD), dose-limiting toxicity (DLT), and safety. The secondary endpoints were PK, immunogenicity, and investigator-assessed response rate.
    Results: Between April 2018 and February 2020, 40 patients were enrolled (22 in the dose-escalation phase and 18 in the dose-expansion phase). No DLT was reported and the MTD was not reached. Grade ⩾3 or worse treatment-related treatment-emergent adverse events (AEs) occurred in 11 (27.50%) patients, with the most frequent being aspartate aminotransferase increased (5.00%), leukopenia (5.00%), and anemia (5.00%). Treatment-related serious AEs were reported in six patients, the most common of which was decompensated liver function (5.00%). No treatment-related death was reported. The maximum serum concentration of TQB2450 increased in a dose-proportional manner. Treatment-induced anti-drug antibodies were detected in 31.58% (12/38) of patients. The investigator assessed the objective response rate as 5.00% and the disease control rate was 52.50%, including 2 partial responses and 19 stable diseases. The median progression-free survival was 2.69 (95% confidence interval, 2.07-6.14) months.
    Conclusion: TQB2450 has a manageable safety profile with favorable PK and immunogenicity and has shown early evidence of clinical activity in advanced malignant tumors.

    Abstract Episodic memory involves learning and recalling associations between items and their spatiotemporal context. Those memories can be further used to generate internal models of the world that enable predictions to be made. The mechanisms that support these associative and predictive aspects of memory are not yet understood. In this study, we used an optogenetic manipulation to perturb the sequential structure, but not global network dynamics, of place cells as rats traversed specific spatial trajectories. This perturbation abolished replay of those trajectories and the development of predictive representations, leading to impaired learning of new optimal trajectories during memory-guided navigation. However, place cell assembly reactivation and reward-context associative learning were unaffected. Our results show a mechanistic dissociation between two complementary hippocampal codes: an associative code (through coactivity) and a predictive code (through sequences).
