    Abstract There is growing evidence indicating that mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) expression influences a wide variety of functions in metabolic and immune response. The present study explored if antagonism of the MR reduces neuroinflammation in the spinal cord of mice with experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). Eplerenone (EPLE) (100 mg/kg dissolved in 30% 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin) was administered intraperitoneally (i.p.) daily from EAE induction (day 0) until sacrificed on day 17 post-induction. The MR blocker (a) significantly decreased the inflammatory parameters TLR4, MYD88, IL-1β, and iNOS mRNAs; (b) attenuated HMGB1, NLRP3, TGF-β mRNAs, microglia, and aquaporin4 immunoreaction without modifying GFAP. Serum IL-1β was also decreased in the EAE+EPLE group. Moreover, EPLE treatment prevented demyelination and improved clinical signs of EAE mice. Interestingly, MR was decreased and GR remained unchanged in EAE mice while EPLE treatment restored MR expression, suggesting that a dysbalanced MR/GR was associated with the development of neuroinflammation. Our results indicated that MR blockage with EPLE attenuated inflammation-related spinal cord pathology in the EAE mouse model of Multiple Sclerosis, supporting a novel therapeutic approach for immune-related diseases.

    Abstract Automated quantification of brain tissues on MR images has greatly contributed to the diagnosis and follow-up of neurological pathologies across various life stages. However, existing solutions are specifically designed for certain age ranges, limiting their applicability in monitoring brain development from infancy to late adulthood. This retrospective study aims to develop and validate a brain segmentation model across pediatric and adult populations. First, we trained a deep learning model to segment tissues and brain structures using T1-weighted MR images from 390 patients (age range: 2-81 years) across four different datasets. Subsequently, the model was validated on a cohort of 280 patients from six distinct test datasets (age range: 4-90 years). In the initial experiment, the proposed deep learning-based pipeline, icobrain-dl, demonstrated segmentation accuracy comparable to both pediatric and adult-specific models across diverse age groups. Subsequently, we evaluated intra- and inter-scanner variability in measurements of various tissues and structures in both pediatric and adult populations computed by icobrain-dl. Results demonstrated significantly higher reproducibility compared to similar brain quantification tools, including childmetrix, FastSurfer, and the medical device icobrain v5.9 (p-value< 0.01). Finally, we explored the potential clinical applications of icobrain-dl measurements in diagnosing pediatric patients with Cerebral Visual Impairment and adult patients with Alzheimer's Disease.

    Abstract Utilities often test the effectiveness of different granular activated carbons (GACs) to determine which is most advantageous for their system. For surface water systems, in particular, the seasonal and annual variability of natural organic matter (NOM) in the source water makes it difficult to benchmark the effectiveness of GACs over multiple contract periods. This study produced stable, lyophilized NOM from the filtered water (FW), i.e., the influent to GAC contactors, which was then reconstituted (Recon) and tested against the FW itself in parallel rapid small-scale column tests (RSSCTs). The results demonstrated nearly identical NOM breakthrough profiles. RSSCTs conducted with both FW and Recon were shown to simulate the full-scale contactor performance well, while similar RSSCTs with regenerated GAC yielded a slightly earlier breakthrough, possibly due to the changes in GAC characteristics during regeneration and grinding. RSSCTs evaluating the removal of microcystin-LR (MC-LR) in the presence of background NOM contained in FW and Recon showed slightly different results, possibly due to the difference in chloride concentrations of these two waters. This work validates that reconstituted lyophilized NOM can be used as a source water surrogate for GAC evaluations when the constituent of interest is NOM, and potentially for other constituents depending upon the influence of additional inorganic constituents that were not evaluated as part of this study.

    Abstract The Wobbler mouse is an accepted model of sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. The spinal cord of clinically symptomatic animals (3-5 months old) shows vacuolar motoneuron degeneration, inflammation, and gliosis accompanied by motor impairment. However, data are not conclusive concerning pathological changes appearing early after birth. To answer this question, we used postnatal day (PND) 6 genotyped Wobbler pups to determine abnormalities of glia and neurons at this early age period in the spinal cord. We found astrogliosis, microgliosis with morphophenotypic changes pointing to active ameboid microglia, enhanced expression of the proinflammatory markers TLR4, NFkB, TNF, and inducible nitric oxide synthase. The astrocytic enzyme glutamine synthase and the glutamate-aspartate transporter GLAST were also reduced in PND 6 Wobbler pups, suggesting excitotoxicity due to impaired glutamate homeostasis. At the neuronal level, PND 6 Wobblers showed swollen soma, increased choline acetyltransferase immunofluorescence staining, and low expression of the neuronal nuclear antigen NeuN. However, vacuolated motoneurons, a typical signature of older clinically symptomatic Wobbler mice, were absent in the spinal cord of PND 6 Wobblers. The results suggest predominance of neuroinflammation and abnormalities of microglia and astrocytes at this early period of Wobbler life, accompanied by some neuronal changes. Data support the non-cell autonomous hypothesis of the Wobbler disorder, and bring useful information with regard to intervening molecular inflammatory mechanisms at the beginning stage of human motoneuron degenerative diseases.

    Abstract Alcohol increases the risk of several cancer types. However, awareness of the link between alcohol and cancer is estimated to be low in Denmark. The objective of this study was to examine awareness of alcohol as a risk factor for cancer in the Danish population. 3000 Danish men and women aged 18-74 years, who are nationally representative participated in a cross-sectional study. Open and closed-ended questions were used to assess unprompted and prompted cancer awareness in relation to the respondents' demographic profile, alcohol consumption and use of tobacco. Unprompted, 22.2% of respondents were aware of the link between alcohol and cancer, whereas prompted 44.8% were aware of this. When prompted about specific cancer types, 39.5% were aware of the fact that alcohol increases the risk of liver cancer and only 9.6% were aware of the link between alcohol and breast cancer. Being aware of the link between alcohol and cancer was associated with being female, having a higher level of education, living in the Capital Region of Denmark, as well as being a non-smoker. There were no statistical significant associations between awareness of alcohol as a risk factor for cancer and the respondents' age, marital status and alcohol consumption. Conclusively, the study confirms a rather low public awareness of the link between alcohol and cancer in the Danish population, especially regarding certain cancer types such as breast cancer. There is a continued need to inform the public about the relationship between alcohol and cancer.
