Potentiating Cerebral Perfusion Normalizes Glymphatic Dynamics in Systemic Inflammation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
LPS‐induced systemic inflammation increases glymphatic influx but delays cervical lymphatic drainage, accompanied by AQP4 depolarization and impaired glymphatic clearance. Enhancing cerebral blood flow via the inotropic agent levosimendan effectively restored AQP4 polarization, improving glymphatic flux and amyloid‐β clearance.

Shear Conditioning Promotes Microvascular Endothelial Barrier Resilience in a Human BBB‐on‐a‐Chip Model of Systemic Inflammation Leading to Astrogliosis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Physiological flow (0.5 Pa) conditioning promotes resilience of an iPSC‐derived blood–brain barrier endothelium to mild systemic inflammation. In contrast, high “cytokine storm” levels induce barrier breakdown, fibrinogen leakage, and astrocyte activation, reconstituting the two‐hit injury mechanism on‐a‐chip.

Postoperative delirium [PDF]

Korean Journal of Anesthesiology, 2019
Delirium can be defined as an 'acute brain dysfunction.' Compared to dementia, which is a disease that deteriorates the brain function chronically, delirium shows very similar symptoms but is mostly ameliorated when the causative factors are normalized.

Strong Internal Electric Field‐Driven S‐scheme CoAl‐LDH/ZrO2 Heterojunction for Enhanced Photocatalytic CO2 Reduction: Configuration, Performance, and Mechanism

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study constructed an S‐scheme heterojunction catalyst CoAl‐LDH/ZrO2 driven by an internal electric field. The S‐scheme heterojunction accelerated charge separation and strengthened redox capability synergistically contribute to the superior CO2 reduction performance.Under simulated solar irradiation, optimal catalyst exhibited a CO production rate

Improving the Rate and Cycle Performances of Porous Silicon Particles Prepared by Acid Etching of Al–Si Alloy Powders for Application in Lithium‐Ion Batteries

Advanced Energy and Sustainability Research, EarlyView.
A scalable method is presented to manufacture high‐capacity Si electrodes for Li‐ion batteries where skeletal porous Ti(Al,Si)2@Si particles are synthesized by gas atomization and acid etching. The fine pores have a buffering effect that suppresses volume expansion during lithiation, and the high electrical conductivity of the particles greatly ...
