The association between proactive personality and interprofessional learning readiness in nursing students: The chain medication effects of perceived social support and professional identity.

BACKGROUND: Interprofessional education (IPE) has been advocated for all healthcare students, and readiness for interprofessional learning significantly influences its effectiveness. It is essential to explore the antecedent factors of readiness for interprofessional learning among nursing students to promote IPE. While a proactive personality might impact readiness for interprofessional learning, its specific role has remained unspecified. OBJECTIVE: To examine the mediation effects of perceived social support and professional identity on the association between proactive personality and readiness for interprofessional learning among nursing students. DESIGN: The study utilised a cross-sectional design. SETTINGS: Research was conducted at two universities and two vocational schools in Hainan Province, China. PARTICIPANTS: On-campus nursing students were invited to participate between March and May 2023. METHODS: A flyer was distributed to the participants with a QR code to scan to voluntarily complete the online survey, including the Readiness for Interprofessional Learning Scale (RIPLS), Proactive Personality Scale, Perceived Social Support Scale and Professional Identity Status Questionnaire Scale 5d. Descriptive analysis, Pearson associations and mediation analysis were conducted using SPSS software version 26.0 and PROCESS version 4.2 for SPSS. RESULTS: The participants' average RIPLS score was 66.93 ± 9.28. Proactive personality (r = 0.633, p < 0.01), perceived social support (r = 0.605, p < 0.01) and professional identity (r = 0.549, p < 0.01) were all positively related to readiness for interprofessional learning. Meanwhile, the relationship between proactive personality and readiness for interprofessional learning was partly mediated by perceived social support (25.15 %), professional identity (13.35 %) and the chain effects (9.48 %) of perceived social support and professional identity. CONCLUSIONS: The nursing students in Hainan, China demonstrated a medium level of readiness for interprofessional learning. Compound strategies that foster proactive personality, provide social support and boost positive professional identity are warranted to improve nursing students' readiness for interprofessional learning.

Fe-Doped Ni2P/NiSe2 Composite Catalysts for Urea Oxidation Reaction (UOR) for Energy-Saving Hydrogen Production by UOR-Assisted Water Splitting.

The development of efficient urea oxidation reaction (UOR) catalysts helps UOR replace the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in hydrogen production from water electrolysis. Here, we prepared Fe-doped Ni2P/NiSe2 composite catalyst (Fe-Ni2P/NiSe2-12) by using phosphating-selenizating and acid etching to increase the intrinsic activity and active areas. Spectral characterization and theoretical calculations demonstrated that electrons flowed through the Ni-P-Fe-interface-Ni-Se-Fe, thus conferring high UOR activity to Fe-Ni2P/NiSe2-12, which only needed 1.39 V vs RHE to produce the current density of 100 mA cm-2. Remarkably, this potential was 164 mV lower than that required for the OER under the same conditions. Furthermore, EIS demonstrated that UOR driven by the Fe-Ni2P/NiSe2-12 exhibited faster interfacial reactions, charge transfer, and current response compared to OER. Consequently, the Fe-Ni2P/NiSe2-12 catalyst can effectively prevent competition with OER and NSOR, making it suitable for efficient hydrogen production in UOR-assisted water electrolysis. Notably, when water electrolysis is operated at a current density of 40 mA cm-2, this UOR-assisted system can achieve a decrease of 140 mV in the potential compared to traditional water electrolysis. This study presents a novel strategy for UOR-assisted water splitting for energy-saving hydrogen production.

Precursor-Directed Biosynthesis of Neoantimycin Derivatives with Selective Cytotoxicity.

Structure elucidation was conducted using NMR and HRESIMS analysis, and the absolute configuration was determined by advanced Marfey's method, Mosher's analysis, and ECD analysis. The obtained compounds revealed selective and significant cytotoxicity, specifically against colorectal cancer cells bearing the K-ras mutation, with IC50 values ranging from 40 nM to 3.5 µM.

Induced Mesenchymal Stem Cells-Small Extracellular Vesicles Alleviate Post-stroke Cognitive Impairment by Rejuvenating Senescence of Neural Stem Cells.

Ischemic stroke is typified by hypoxia and a cascade of pathophysiological events, including metabolic dysfunction, ionic dysregulation, excitotoxicity, inflammatory infiltration, and oxidative stress. These ultimately result in neuronal apoptosis or necrosis with constrained neuroregenerative capabilities. In this study, neural stem cells (NSCs) under conditions of oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) in vitro and following middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) in vivo were explored. Transcriptome sequencing revealed a decline in NSC differentiation and neurogenesis after OGD exposure, which was related to cellular senescence. This observation was corroborated by increased senescence markers in the MCAO mouse model, reduction in NSC numbers, and decline in neurogenesis. Importantly, iMSC-sEVs (induced mesenchymal stem cells-small extracellular vesicles) have the therapeutic potential to alleviate NSC senescence and rejuvenate their regenerative capacities both in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, iMSC-sEVs contribute to the recovery of cognitive function and synapse loss caused by MCAO.

Physiological and pathological effects of phase separation in the central nervous system.

Phase separation, also known as biomolecule condensate, participates in physiological processes such as transcriptional regulation, signal transduction, gene expression, and DNA damage repair by creating a membrane-free compartment. Phase separation is primarily caused by the interaction of multivalent non-covalent bonds between proteins and/or nucleic acids. The strength of molecular multivalent interaction can be modified by component concentration, the potential of hydrogen, posttranslational modification, and other factors. Notably, phase separation occurs frequently in the cytoplasm of mitochondria, the nucleus, and synapses. Phase separation in vivo is dynamic or stable in the normal physiological state, while abnormal phase separation will lead to the formation of biomolecule condensates, speeding up the disease progression. To provide candidate suggestions for the clinical treatment of nervous system diseases, this review, based on existing studies, carefully and systematically represents the physiological roles of phase separation in the central nervous system and its pathological mechanism in neurodegenerative diseases.

Remifentanil is Superior to Propofol for Treating Emergence Agitation in Adults After General Anesthesia.

Background: Emergence agitation (EA) is one of the most common complications in clinical general anesthesia during recovery in adults. Remifentanil and propofol can reduce the incidence of EA, but with no randomized controlled trial to evaluate their effectiveness for treating EA. This study aims to compare the effectiveness of remifentanil and propofol for treating EA following general anesthesia. Patients and methods: Among 152 randomized patients with a mean of 49.5 years, and 99 (65.1%) of them being male, 149 were divided into two groups for subsequent analysis. The remifentanil group (Group R, n = 74) received a 0.5µg kg-1 remifentanil infusion followed by a 0.05µg kg-1 min-1 infusion until 15 minutes, after the onset of agitation. The propofol group (Group P, n = 75) received a 1mg kg-1 propofol infusion once agitation occurred. Emergence agitation was assessed using the Riker Sedation Agitation Score, with a score of ≥5 defining emergence agitation. During the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU), the recurrence of emergence agitation, time to extubation, and discharge from PACU were evaluated. Results: The incidence of reoccurring emergence agitation was lower in Group R (29.7%) compared with Group P (49.3%), with an odds ratio of 0.44 (95% CI 0.22-0.85; P=0.014). The time to extubation was shorter in Group R (mean 12min, range 8-15 min) compared with Group P (mean 17min, range 13-21 min) (P<0.001), as was the time discharge from the PACU (mean 30.5 min, range 25-40 min) vs Group P (mean 37.5 min, range 31-50 min) (P=0.001). Conclusion: Treatment of emergence agitation in adults with remifentanil infusion is more effective than propofol, with a shorter time to extubation and discharge from PACU.

Co/Co3O4 Heterojunctions Encased in Porous N-Doped Carbon Nanocapsules for High-Performance Cathode of Rechargeable Zinc-Air Batteries.

A long-term goal of rechargeable zinc-air batteries (ZABs) has always been to design bifunctional electrocatalysts that are robust, effective, and affordable for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER). It has become a feasible method to construct metal/metal oxide interfaces to achieve superior electrocatalytic performance for ORR and OER by enhanced charge transfer. In this study, Co/Co3O4 heterojunctions were successfully prepared and encased in porous N-doped mesoporous carbon (Co/Co3O4@NC) via a simple condensation-carbonization-etching method. The extensive specific surface area of Co/Co3O4@NC facilitates effective interaction between the electrolyte and the catalyst, thereby enabling sufficient exposure of active sites for the ORR and the OER, consequently enhancing the rate of transport of active species. The well-designed Co/Co3O4@NC delivers superior ORR catalytic activity with a half-wave potential of 0.82 V (vs RHE) and a low overpotential of 347 mV at 10 mA cm-2 for OER in alkaline solution. The power density of Co/Co3O4@NC-based alkaline aqueous ZAB (156.5 mW cm-2) is superior to the commercial Pt/C + IrO2-based alkaline aqueous ZAB, and the cycling stability of ZAB is up to 220 h. In addition, Co/Co3O4@NC-based ZAB shows a high power density (50.1 mW cm-2). The construction of metal/metal oxide heterojunction encased in N-doped mesoporous carbon provides a novel route for the design of bifunctional electrocatalysts for high-performance ZABs.

A novel TNKS/USP25 inhibitor blocks the Wnt pathway to overcome multi-drug resistance in TNKS-overexpressing colorectal cancer.

Modulating Tankyrases (TNKS), interactions with USP25 to promote TNKS degradation, rather than inhibiting their enzymatic activities, is emerging as an alternative/specific approach to inhibit the Wnt/ß-catenin pathway. Here, we identified UAT-B, a novel neoantimycin analog isolated from Streptomyces conglobatus, as a small-molecule inhibitor of TNKS-USP25 protein-protein interaction (PPI) to overcome multi-drug resistance in colorectal cancer (CRC). The disruption of TNKS-USP25 complex formation by UAT-B led to a significant decrease in TNKS levels, triggering cell apoptosis through modulation of the Wnt/ß-catenin pathway. Importantly, UAT-B successfully inhibited the CRC cells growth that harbored high TNKS levels, as demonstrated in various in vitro and in vivo studies utilizing cell line-based and patient-derived xenografts, as well as APCmin/+ spontaneous CRC models. Collectively, these findings suggest that targeting the TNKS-USP25 PPI using a small-molecule inhibitor represents a compelling therapeutic strategy for CRC treatment, and UAT-B emerges as a promising candidate for further preclinical and clinical investigations.

Noteworthy perspectives on microglia in neuropsychiatric disorders.

Microglia are so versatile that they not only provide immune surveillance for central nervous system, but participate in neural circuitry development, brain blood vessels formation, blood-brain barrier architecture, and intriguingly, the regulation of emotions and behaviors. Microglia have a profound impact on neuronal survival, brain wiring and synaptic plasticity. As professional phagocytic cells in the brain, they remove dead cell debris and neurotoxic agents via an elaborate mechanism. The functional profile of microglia varies considerately depending on age, gender, disease context and other internal or external environmental factors. Numerous studies have demonstrated a pivotal involvement of microglia in neuropsychiatric disorders, including negative affection, social deficit, compulsive behavior, fear memory, pain and other symptoms associated with major depression disorder, anxiety disorder, autism spectrum disorder and schizophrenia. In this review, we summarized the latest discoveries regarding microglial ontogeny, cell subtypes or state spectrum, biological functions and mechanistic underpinnings of emotional and behavioral disorders. Furthermore, we highlight the potential of microglia-targeted therapies of neuropsychiatric disorders, and propose outstanding questions to be addressed in future research of human microglia.

Ratiometric Fluorescent Detection of Ultrasound-Regulated ATP Release: An Ultrasound-Resistant Cu,N-Doped Carbon Nanosphere.

Focused ultrasound, as a protocol of cancer therapy, might induce extracellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP) release, which could enhance cancer immunotherapy and be monitored as a therapeutic marker. To achieve an ATP-detecting probe resistant to ultrasound irradiation, we constructed a Cu/N-doped carbon nanosphere (CNS), which has two fluorescence (FL) emissions at 438 and 578 nm to detect ultrasound-regulated ATP release. The addition of ATP to Cu/N-doped CNS was conducted to recover the FL intensity at 438 nm, where ATP enhanced the FL intensity probably via intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) primarily and hydrogen-bond-induced emission (HBIE) secondarily. The ratiometric probe was sensitive to detect micro ATP (0.2-0.6 µM) with the limit of detection (LOD) of 0.068 µM. The detection of ultrasound-regulated ATP release by Cu,N-CNS/RhB showed that ATP release was enhanced by the long-pulsed ultrasound irradiation at 1.1 MHz (+37%, p < 0.01) and reduced by the short-pulsed ultrasound irradiation at 5 MHz (-78%, p < 0.001). Moreover, no significant difference in ATP release was detected between the control group and the dual-frequency ultrasound irradiation group (+4%). It is consistent with the results of ATP detection by the ATP-kit. Besides, all-ATP detection was developed to prove that the CNS had ultrasound-resistant properties, which means it could bear the irradiation of focused ultrasound in different patterns and detect all-ATP in real time. In the study, the ultrasound-resistant probe has the advantages of simple preparation, high specificity, low limit of detection, good biocompatibility, and cell imaging ability. It has great potential to act as a multifunctional ultrasound theranostic agent for simultaneous ultrasound therapy, ATP detection, and monitoring.

Doxorubicin-Fe(III)-Gossypol Infinite Coordination Polymer@PDA:CuO2 Composite Nanoparticles for Cost-Effective Programmed Photothermal-Chemodynamic-Coordinated Dual Drug Chemotherapy Trimodal Synergistic Tumor Therapy.

To achieve the maximum therapeutic effects and minimize adverse effects of trimodal synergistic tumor therapies, a cost-effective programmed photothermal (PTT)-chemodynamic (CDT)-coordinated dual drug chemotherapy (CT) trimodal synergistic therapy strategy in chronological order is proposed. According to the status or volumes of the tumors, the intensity and time of each therapeutic modality are optimized, and three modalities are combined programmatically and work in chronological order. The optimal synergistic therapy begins with high-intensity PTT for 10 min to ablate larger tumors, followed by medium-intensity CDT for several hours to eliminate medium-sized tumors, and then low-intensity coordinated dual drugs CT lasts over 48 h to clear smaller residual tumors. Composite nanoparticles, made of Fe-coordinated polydopamine mixed with copper peroxide as the cores and their surface dotted with lots of doxorubicin-Fe(III)-gossypol infinite coordination polymers (ICPs), have been developed to implement the strategy. These composite nanoparticles show excellent synergistic effects with the minimum dose of therapeutic agents and result in nearly 100% tumor inhibition for mice bearing PC-3 tumors and no observed recurrence within 60 days of treatment. The ratios of the different therapeutic agents in the composite nanoparticles can be adjusted to accommodate different types of tumors with this cost-effective programmed trimodal therapy strategy.

Poverty, Psychological Distress, and Suicidality Among Gay Men and Transgender Women Sex Workers During the Covid-19 Pandemic in Phuket, Thailand.

Introduction: Thai gay men and transgender women (GM&TGW) sex workers are more likely to suffer from economic harm since the sex tourism industry in Thailand has been hit hard by the Covid-19 pandemic. They also are more likely to experience poverty and mental health issues subsequent to the pandemic as minority groups in conservative Thai society. While their highly problematic social and economic situation would predict a wide range of psychological issues, little is known about their mental health. Hence, this study examined the prevalence and symptom severity of psychological distress among the group as well as the associations between suicidal ideation, poverty, and psychological distress. Methods: Two hundred seventy questionnaire responses were collected online via Google forms in Phuket in 2021. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS and Smart-PLS. Results: Based on the results, most respondents had experienced mild to extremely severe symptoms of psychological distress. However, transgender women sex workers scored higher on depression and anxiety compared to gay men sex workers. This study confirmed the prominent associations between the study variables and the mediation effect of psychological distress. Conclusions: Poverty resulting from the pandemic imposes a substantial human cost for this vulnerable minority beyond the virus itself as it amplifies mental health problems. Policy Implications: The findings further extend our awareness of the discriminatory treatment of Thai GM&TGW sex workers and address a gap in Thai law and policy for prohibiting discrimination against them. It is of urgent necessity for Thai public health and tourism policymakers to establish sound support interventions.

Microglial Piezo1 senses Aß fibril stiffness to restrict Alzheimer's disease.

The pathology of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is featured with extracellular amyloid-ß (Aß) plaques, whose impact on the mechanical properties of the surrounding brain tissues is unclear. Microglia sense and integrate biochemical cues of the microenvironment. However, whether the microglial mechanosensing pathways influence AD pathogenesis is unknown. Here, we surveyed the elevated stiffness of Aß-plaque-associated tissues and observed the selective upregulation of the mechanosensitive ion channel Piezo1 in Aß-plaque-associated microglia. Piezo1 sensed the stiffness stimuli of Aß fibrils and subsequently induced Ca2+ influx for microglial clustering, phagocytosis, and compacting of Aß plaques. Microglia lacking Piezo1 led to the exacerbation of Aß pathology and cognitive decline, whereas pharmacological activation of microglial Piezo1 ameliorated brain Aß burden and cognitive impairment in 5 × FAD mice. Together, our results reveal that Piezo1, a mechanosensor of Aß fibril stiffness in microglia, represents a potential therapeutic target for AD.

HDAC3 Contributes to Ischemic Stroke by Regulating Interferon Pathway.

BACKGROUND: The inflammation and immune response contribute to ischemic stroke pathology. Damaged brain cells release inflammatory substances to activate the immune system in the acute phase of stroke, including altering the interferon signaling pathway. However, the involvement of histone deacetylation in stroke remains unclear. METHODS: To investigate whether histone deacetylation modulation could regulate the interferon signaling pathway and mediate the pathogenic changes after stroke, the middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) mouse model was treated with histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3) inhibitor and RGFP966. Additionally, a series of approaches, including middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO), real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR), western blot, 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) staining, behavioral experiments, and confocal imaging were utilized. RESULTS: It is observed that RGFP966 pretreatment could lead to better outcomes in the MCAO mouse model, including the decrease of infarction volumes, the amelioration of post-stroke anxiety-like behavior, and the relief of inflammatory responses. Furthermore, we found that RGFP966 could counteract the hyperactivation of the interferon signaling pathway and the excessive expression of Z-DNA Binding Protein 1 (ZBP1) in microglia. CONCLUSIONS: We demonstrated a novel mechanism that HDAC3 inhibition could ameliorate the pathological injury after ischemic stroke by downregulating the ZBP1/phosphorylated Interferon Regulatory Factor 3 (p-IRF3) pathway. Thus, these data provide a new promising target for therapies for ischemic stroke.

Dual ligand-capped gold nanoclusters for the smart detection of specific reactive oxygen species.

Quantitative detection of different types of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is vital for understanding the crucial roles of them in biological processes. However, few researches achieved the detection of multiple types of ROS with one probe until now. Given this, we designed and prepared fluorescent gold nanoclusters capped by dual ligand bovine serum albumin and lysozyme (BSA-LYS-AuNCs), which could detect 3 specific types of ROS based on its different fluorescent responses to H2O2, •OH and ClO-, respectively. The limit of detection (LOD) of H2O2, •OH, and ClO- was as low as 0.82 µM, 0.45 µM, and 0.62 µM. Moreover, as an important ROS type, ClO- was detected with high sensitivity and low LOD by BSA-LYS-AuNCs. It was also proved that the crosslinking of protein mainly contributed to the unique fluorescent characteristics of the probe exposing to ClO-. Furthermore, the fluorescent probe achieved the smart detection of hROS (including •OH and ClO-) and wROS (the form of H2O2) in the real sample, which could also been applied specifically to the detection of antioxidants, e.g. ascorbic acid. The gold nanoclusters developed have high potential for the smart detection of multiple ROS in the body fluid of organisms.

Laser-induced photoexcited audible sound effect based on reticular 2-bromo-2-methylpropionic acid modified Fe3O4 nanoparticle aggregates.

Reticular 2-bromo-2-methylpropionic acid (BMPA) modified Fe3O4 nanoparticle aggregates with novel acoustic properties, namely the photoexcited audible sound (PEAS) effect, were prepared by a laser-induced irradiation method. Their morphology was observed by Lorentz transmission electron microscopy. Their chemical structure, crystal composition, and magnetic properties were analyzed using infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and a magnetic property measurement instrument, respectively. It is found that the nanoparticle aggregates appeared reticular, with the size of the BMPA modified Fe3O4 nanoparticles being 5.5 ± 0.4 nm. The saturation magnetization values of the BMPA modified Fe3O4 nanoparticles and associated aggregates were 59.99 and 63.51 emu g-1, respectively. The reticular BMPA modified nanoparticle aggregates can produce strong PEAS signals under very weak laser irradiation with great stability and repeatability. The emitted PEAS signals possessed strong specificity, suitable decay time and a large amount of information under a very weak laser power and can be detected by the human ear without any special detection equipment. Subsequently, a heat transfer model was constructed for the simulation of the possible mechanism of the PEAS effect using COMSOL software. The simulation results showed that the aggregates have a fast heat transfer rate with the temperature increasing to 480 K in only 0.25 s and 600 K in 5 s, respectively, meeting the requirements of the vapor explosion mechanism. Therefore, we realized that the possible mechanism of the PEAS effect of the reticular BMPA modified Fe3O4 nanoparticle aggregates is laser-induced fast heat transfer and vapor explosion in situ, resulting in the observed audible sound phenomenon. This novel PEAS effect has potential for application in materials science, biomedical engineering and other fields.

3D/2D Heterojunction of CeO2/Ultrathin MXene Nanosheets for Photocatalytic Hydrogen Production.

Two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials benefit from the high specific surface area, unique surface properties, and quantum size effects, which have attracted widespread scientific attention. MXenes add many members to the 2D material family, mainly metal conductors, most of which are dielectrics, semiconductors, or semimetals. With excellent electron mobility, beneficial to electron-hole separation, and large functional groups that can be tightly coupled with other materials, MXenes have broad application prospects in photocatalysis. Meanwhile, the application of CeO2-based materials in organic catalysis, photocatalytic water splitting, and photodegradation of organic pollutants has been extensively explored, and studies have found that CeO2-based materials show good photocatalytic performance. In view of this, we synthesized regular octahedral CeO2 with a homojunction in one step by a hydrothermal method and compounded it with ultrathin 2D material MXene, which exhibited fast carrier migration efficiency and a good interfacial effect, making the material show excellent photocatalytic activity. The results showed that the photocatalytic H2 evolution performance of the MXene/CeO2 heterojunction was significantly improved. In this study, a low-cost catalyst with high photocatalytic activity was prepared, presenting a new research idea for achieving a combined 3D/2D photocatalytic system.

Developing patient-derived organoids to predict PARP inhibitor response and explore resistance overcoming strategies in ovarian cancer.

With the common use of poly ADP-ribose polymerase inhibitors (PARPi) for the man-agement of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) across the treatment life cycle, there is a critical need for the development of functional tests, as a complementary to genomic assays, in the study of PARPi sensitivity and resistance. Patient-derived organoids (PDOs) are found feasible for rapid functional testing and predicting drug response. Here, we established a series of PDOs from EOC and tested the sensitivity of seven cases to various agents including PARPi. PDOs recapitulated patient clinical response to platinum chemotherapy and displayed drug response heterogeneity to targeted agents including PARPi. Of three PDOs harboring mutational signature of homologous recombination repair (HRR) deficiency, two were PARPi sensitive while one was inherent resistant. Another PDO derived from a patient who relapsed during olaparib maintenance therapy was found acquired resistant to PARPi. Subsequent functional analysis revealed the potential resistant mechanisms related to replication fork protection and HRR functional restoration, and combination strategies targeting the mechanisms could reverse the resistance. Our research demonstrated the capacity of EOC PDOs for evaluating the sensitivity to PARPi under different settings, exploring mechanisms of resistance, and identifying effective combined strategies, which has implications for the clinical application of PARPi.

HDAC3-Regulated PGE2 Production by Microglia Induces Phobic Anxiety Susceptibility After Stroke and Pointedly Exploiting a Signal-Targeted Gamma Visual Stimulation New Therapy.

BACKGROUND: Phobic anxiety present after stroke (called poststroke anxiety, PSA) can hamper the rehabilitation of patients and disrupt their usual activities. Besides, the symptoms and mechanisms of PSA are different from those in nonstroke populations that have generalized anxiety disorder. What's more, the treatment approaches for phobic anxiety are confined to unitary or general methods with poor efficiency. METHODS: Behavioural test screen combined bioinformatics analysis explored molecular changes between generalized anxiety disorder in nonstroke mice (restraint stress, RS) and photothrombotic stroke mice exposed to environmental stress (PTS + RS, mimicking PSA). Multiple molecular biological and neurobiological methods were employed to explain mechanisms in vitro and in vivo. And exploiting gamma flicker stimulation device for therapy. RESULTS: Microglial (MG) overactivation is a prominent characteristic of PTS + RS. HDAC3 was mainly upregulated in activated-microglia from damaged cortex and that local prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) production increased in MG via HDAC3-mediated activation of NF-κB signalling by p65 deacetylation. A high content of PGE2 in damaged ischaemic cortex could diffuse freely to amygdala, eliciting anxiety susceptibility of PSA via EP2. Importantly, gamma flicker stimulation relieved anxious behaviour of PTS + RS by modulating the HDAC3/Cox1/EP2 network at some extent. CONCLUSIONS: HDAC3-regulated PGE2 production by microglia constitutes phobic anxiety susceptibility after stroke and a protective approach of gamma visual stimulation can be a candidate new therapy.
