Loss-Assisted Anomalous Hong-Ou-Mandel Interference Based on Nonunitary Multilayer Graphene.

Hong-Ou-Mandel interference is an intrinsic quantum phenomenon that goes beyond the possibilities of classical physics, and enables numerous applications in quantum information science. While the photon-photon interaction is fundamentally limited to the bosonic nature of photons and the restricted phase responses from commonly used unitary optical elements, we present that a nonunitary material provides an alternative degree of freedom to control the two-photon quantum interference, even revealing anomalous quantum interference paths that do not exist in a unitary configuration. An elaborate lossy multilayer graphene that can work as a nonunitary beam splitter is used to explore its tunability over the effective photon-photon interaction in spatial modes, and to verify the particle exchange statistics by its experimental implementation in quantum state filter. This scheme is further extended to observe four-dimensional quantum interference patterns on the lossless and lossy beam splitters, and thus show its applicability even in higher-dimensional Hilbert space.

On design of preprocessing and postprocessing in cascaded-resonator-based harmonic analyzers and filter banks

The cascaded-resonator (CR)-based filter structure provides high attenuation in the stopbands thanks to the serially coupled resonators, which is an advantage in many applications of harmonic analyses and/or filtering. In addition to that, it has good properties provided by its parallel structure. On the other side, there are applications which besides the high stopband attenuation need wider (or even flat-top) passbands, lower group delays, etc. These performances can be modified/improved by preprocessing and postprocessing through reshaping of the primary CR-based filter bank frequency responses. The numerical complexity is also an important aspect where infinite impulse response (IIR) filters provide implementation with a smaller number of numerical operations, but involving nonlinearity of the phase responses and stability control issue. Although most of these issues have been discussed in the previous papers dealing with the design of the CR-based harmonic filtering and/or filter banks, the aim of this paper is to highlight them all together. In addition, some improvements of the previously described design techniques are suggested too.

COVID-19 and the need for special care for women with polycystic ovary syndrome: A systematic review

Objective The study investigates the association between coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and assess whether women with PCOS are at a higher susceptibility and risk for COVID-19 complications. Methods This review analyzes articles indexed in PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar, and the Cochrane Library, focusing on the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in December 1, 2019, until November 1, 2022. The quality of the evidence was assessed using the NIH quality assessment tool. The study was registered on PROSPERO (CRD42023371956) on January 12, 2023. Results A total of 11 observational studies were identified, totaling 22,155 PCOS patients. Despite the heterogeneity of the included studies, the findings of most of the studies were similar in terms of increased susceptibility and severity of COVID-19 infection in PCOS patients. PCOS patients were reported to have a 51% higher risk of COVID-19 infection than non-PCOS women (HR =1.51). Many causes have been identified to play a role, most notably the overactivation of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) and elevated levels of RAS-associated proteins, decreased serum levels of neuropilin-1 (sNRP1), elevated serum biomarkers such as platelet degranulation and coagulation cascade markers increased acute phase response, and lower levels of vitamin D could render PCOS patients susceptible to a chronic inflammatory state, which can also lead to difficulties and severe consequences, when impacted by COVID-19. Furthermore, the COVID-19 pandemic also influenced psychological well-being, with an increase in the incidence and severity of depression and anxiety among PCOS patients in the COVID-19 pandemic era compared to healthy individuals. Conclusions Patients with PCOS are more likely to get infected with COVID-19 and display a higher affinity to severe infections and complications due to overlapping and confounding factors. These findings suggest that PCOS patients may need more medical attention when infected with COVID-19.

Metabolic effects of very-low calorie diet, Semaglutide, or combination of the two, in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus

Background & AimsVery-low calorie diets (VLCD) and the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP1RA) Semaglutide induce significant weight loss and improve glycaemic control in individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D). This pilot study was conducted to explore the comparative short-term effects of these interventions individually, and in combination, on weight, body composition and metabolic outcomes. MethodsThirty individuals with T2D (age 18-75 years, BMI 27-50kg.m-2) were randomly assigned to receive Semaglutide (SEM), 800 kilocalorie/day VLCD (VLCD), or both in combination (COMB) for 12 weeks. Measurement of weight and glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c), dual energy X-ray absorptiometry, and intravenous glucose tolerance tests (IVGTT) were performed at baseline and post-intervention. Diet diaries were utilised to assess compliance. Insulin first phase response during IVGTT provided a marker of pancreatic beta-cell function, and insulin sensitivity was estimated using HOMA-IR. ResultsSignificantly greater reductions in body weight and fat mass were observed in VLCD and COMB, than SEM (p<0.01 v both). VLCD and COMB resulted in a 5.4 and 7 percentage-point greater weight loss than SEM, respectively. HbA1c and fasting glucose reduced significantly in all groups, however fasting insulin and HOMA-IR improved in VLCD and COMB only. Insulin first phase response during IVGTT increased in SEM and COMB, and this increase was significantly greater in COMB than VLCD (p<0.01). ConclusionVLCD elicited greater short-term losses of weight and fat mass than Semaglutide. Adding VLCD to Semaglutide stimulated further weight loss than Semaglutide alone. The combination did not yield any additive effects on weight and body composition above VLCD alone, but did provoke greater improvements in pancreatic beta-cell function. Thus, combination of Semaglutide and VLCD warrants further exploration as a novel approach to T2D management.

Phase response constrained symbol‐level waveform design for dual‐functional radar‐communication systems

AbstractIn this letter, a novel algorithm is proposed to design symbol‐level waveform for dual‐functional radar‐communication (DFRC) systems with low range sidelobe. Different from current schemes design waveform at the block level, a phase response constraint is introduced at the symbol level to provide an additional degree of freedom to decrease the range sidelobe in the pulse compression procedure, which is highly desired in radar systems. In particular, the phase response at the target direction is constrained to be similar to the given reference phase, and the matching error between the designed beampattern and the desired one is minimized subject to the constant modulus constraint. Furthermore, to guarantee the quality of service for communication, constructive interference is exploited at the symbol level for each communication user. An alternating direction method of multipliers algorithm is also proposed to solve the resulting nonconvex optimization problem with tractable subproblems solved sufficiently by the manifold optimization and standard quadratic problem. Numerical simulation results demonstrate the performance of the proposed method.

The physical characteristics of Zintl TeRhCl for renewable applications: A DFT approach

Due to their adaptable electronic and structural attributes, Zintl phases play a crucial role in customizing materials for a wide range of applications. We utilized DFT to examine the optoelectronic, structural transport response of TeRhCl phase. Structural stability is established by analyzing the optimization curve and determining the formation energy through calculations. The band structure has been calculated, revealing an indirect bandgap of 0.75 eV when employing GGA and 1.43 eV with the mBJ approach. The TDOS and PDOS graphs support the band structure's characteristics. Based on their optical properties, TeRhCl exhibit optical activity in the visible region. The optical characteristics suggest that this compound is feasible for the application in optoelectronic devices. The thermoelectric properties are investigated by employing electronic structure analysis and Boltzmann transport theory. At elevated temperatures, a significant ZT value of 0.83 is attained. The thermoelectric and optical response indicate its potential utility in forthcoming applications for both thermoelectric and optoelectronics devices.

Comparison between Palonosetron and Ondansetron in Prevention of Chemotherapy Induced Nausea Vomiting

Background: Chemotherapy induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) is the commonest and the most incapacitating experience of thepatient undergoing cancer chemotherapy. Poorly controlled CINV sometimes make patients to refuse further treatment. This study aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of Palonosetron and Ondansetron in preventing CINV during cancer chemotherapy. Methods:This randomized controlled trial was conducted in the Department of Pharmacology and Therapeutics of Sylhet MAG Osmani Medical College from January 2021 to December 2021. There were 190patients enrolled initially; 14 patients from both groups withdraw themselves. Finally, 91 patients of Palonosetron and 85 patients of Ondansetron treated were recruited. The Palonosetron group were treated with Palonosetron at 0.25 mg and the Ondansetron group were treated with Ondansetron 8.0 mg intravenously, 30min before chemotherapy. After that Palonosetron 0.5 mg single time and Ondansetron 8.0 mg orally three times a day were given and total follow-up period was seven days. Episode of nausea and vomiting graded according to the guideline “Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE)”, version 4.0, which was published by the US Department of Health and Human Services (National Institute of Health and National Cancer Institute). Result: The groups were matched for the age (p = 0.263), gender (p = 0.630), body weight (p = 0.846),site of malignancy (p = 0.375), and drugsused for chemotherapeutic (p = 0.301) in both study groups. Palonosetron treated patients experienced significant lower episode of nausea in day-1 (p = &lt;0.001) and day-2 (p = 0.025), and in case vomiting in day-1 (p = 0.026) compared to Ondansetron. Significantly higher number of patients of Palonosetron compared to Ondansetron treated group showed complete response in both acute phase (p = 0.026), delayed phase (p = 0.036) and finally in overall phase (p = 0.014). Only four patients experienced with treatment failure in Ondansetron treated group. Observed adverse effects were in low intensity and not caused to stop the treatment procedure. Conclusion: Palonosetron was found to be more efficacious and well tolerated in preventing acute, delayed and overall phase of chemotherapy induced nausea and vomiting in this study.

Phase and amplitude responses for delay equationsusing harmonic balance.

Robust delay induced oscillations, common in nature, are often modeled by delay-differential equations(DDEs). Motivated by the success of phase-amplitude reductions for ordinary differential equationswith limit cycle oscillations, there is now a growing interest in the development of analogous approaches for DDEs to understand their response to external forcing. When combined with Floquet theory, the fundamental quantities for this reduction are phase and amplitude response functions. Here, we develop a framework for their construction that utilizes the method of harmonic balance.

Optimal phase-selective entrainment of electrochemical oscillators with different phase response curves.

We investigate the entrainment of electrochemical oscillators with different phase response curves (PRCs) using a global signal: the goal is to achieve the desired phase configuration using a minimum-power waveform. Establishing the desired phase relationships in a highly nonlinear networked system exhibiting significant heterogeneities, such as different conditions or parameters for the oscillators, presents a considerable challenge because different units respond differently to the common global entraining signal. In this work, we apply an optimal phase-selective entrainment technique in both a kinetic model and experiments involving electrochemical oscillators in achieving phase synchronized states. We estimate the PRCs of the oscillators at different circuit potentials and external resistance, and entrain pairs and small sets of four oscillators in various phase configurations. We show that for small PRC variations, phase assignment can be achieved using an averaged PRC in the control design. However, when the PRCs are sufficiently different, individual PRCs are needed to entrain the system with the expected phase relationships. The results show that oscillator assemblies with heterogeneous PRCs can be effectively entrained to desired phase configurations in practical settings. These findings open new avenues to applications in biological and engineered oscillator systems where synchronization patterns are essential for system performance.

Deucravacitinib onset of action and maintenance of response in phase 3 plaque psoriasis trials

Aim: In the global phase 3 POETYK PSO-1 and PSO-2 trials, significantly greater proportions of deucravacitinib-treated patients met the coprimary endpoints (PASI 75, sPGA 0/1) at Week 16 versus placebo or apremilast-treated patients. This analysis evaluated onset of action and maintenance of response in patients randomized to deucravacitinib and placebo only. Methods: Adults with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis at baseline were randomized 1:2:1 to oral placebo, deucravacitinib, or apremilast. Onset of action was determined through changes from baseline in mean PASI, BSA, BSA × sPGA, and DLQI. Maintenance of response was assessed using PASI 75, PASI 90, PASI 100, sPGA 0/1, and sPGA 0 response rates through Week 52 in patients who were treated continuously with deucravacitinib, crossed over from placebo to deucravacitinib at Week 16, or received deucravacitinib and achieved PASI 75 by Week 24. Results: Deucravacitinib showed significantly higher increases in mean percent change from baseline in PASI versus placebo by Week 1. Significant improvement versus placebo was observed in all other efficacy measures by Week 8. Efficacy with deucravacitinib was maintained through Week 52. Conclusion: Deucravacitinib displayed efficacy as early as 1 week and clinical responses were maintained over 52 weeks in patients with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.

Анализ частотных характеристик токовых датчиков цифрового трансформатора тока и напряжения

Digital measuring current and voltage transformers (DCVT), which incorporate various current and voltage sensors are the key sources of information about processes at modern digital substations. Classic small-sized current transformers, Rogowski coils, magnetotransistor sensors, Hall effect sensors, fiber-optic Faraday effect sensors, as well as shunts can be used as current sensors in DCVTs. For redundancy purposes, current channels are performed in several copies and on different sensors. Sensors that are different in nature have their own set of advantages, which together makes it possible to obtain the effect of eliminating the shortcomings of specific sensors. For example, they may not have a saturation effect or transmit the direct current component quite accurately, which is a significant advantage over classic current transformers. At the mains frequency, the behavior of these sensors is predictable, but their behavior is not well studied at higher and lower frequencies. Thus, it is decided to study the frequency response and phase response of these sensors in a wide frequency range. To solve the problems within the framework of this study, physical experiment, analytical and empirical solution methods have been used. As a result of the study, the frequency response and phase response of current sensors of DCVT in a wide frequency range have been obtained. Analog filter has been designed to correct the signal of the magnetotransistor sensor. The results obtained coincide with theoretical data and can be considered when developing digital relay protection and automation algorithms.

High-speed, long-range and wide-field OCT for in vivo 3D imaging of the oral cavity achieved by a 600 kHz swept source laser.

We report a high-speed, long-range, and wide-field swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) system aimed for imaging microstructures and microcirculations in the oral cavity. This system operates at a scan speed of 600 kHz, delivering a wide imaging field of view at 42 × 42 mm2 and a ranging distance of 36 mm. To simultaneously meet the requirements of high speed and long range, it is necessary for the k-clock trigger signal to be generated at its maximum speed, which may induce non-linear phase response in electronic devices due to the excessive k-clock frequency bandwidth, leading to phase errors. To address this challenge, we introduced a concept of electrical dispersion and a global k-clock compensation approach to improve overall performance of the imaging system. Additionally, image distortion in the wide-field imaging mode is also corrected using a method based on distortion vector maps. With this system, we demonstrate comprehensive structural and blood flow imaging of the anterior oral cavity in healthy individuals. The high-speed, long-range, and wide-field SS-OCT system opens new opportunities for comprehensive oral cavity examinations and holds promise as a reliable tool for assessing oral health conditions.

Non-specific markers of inflammation in bare-nosed wombats (Vombatus ursinus) with sarcoptic mange.

Sarcoptic mange, caused by epidermal infection with Sarcoptes scabiei, negatively impacts the health, welfare, and local abundance of bare-nosed wombats (Vombatus ursinus) in Australia. Improved understanding of the host immune response to disease and its contribution to pathophysiology could be used to inform management actions for this species in and ex situ. To evaluate the immune response of bare-nosed wombats to sarcoptic mange, we validated three assays (haptoglobin, agarose gel electrophoresis, and micro-erythrocyte sedimentation rate) measuring non-specific markers of inflammation using serum samples from free-living wombats from Tasmania (n = 33). We then analysed correlations between the assay results for each non-specific marker of inflammation and wombat's sarcoptic mange scores, and performed histopathological examinations to investigate association of the acute phase response with systemic amyloidosis. We present evidence that haptoglobin and erythrocyte sedimentation rate increased, and albumin decreased, in association with sarcoptic mange scores. This research demonstrates links between the acute phase response and sarcoptic mange severity in bare-nosed wombats, highlighting the utility of non-specific markers of inflammation for aiding assessment of the systemic effects of mange. Showing the value of agarose gel electrophoresis, we also identified specific acute phase proteins warranting future evaluation and found evidence of an immunoglobulin response in mange-affected wombats, revealed by increasing γ-globulins in association with apparent disease severity. Meanwhile, owing to its relatively low resource requirements and rapidity, the erythrocyte sedimentation rate assay may be useful as a point-of-care test to support therapeutic decisions in the field. Our methods and findings are likely to be applicable to a range of other clinical and population health scenarios in captive and free-living wombats, and species impacted by sarcoptic mange globally.

Liver matrin-3 protects mice against hepatic steatosis and stress response via constitutive androstane receptor

ObjectiveThe prevalence of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) continues to rise with the increasing obesity epidemic. Rezdiffra as an activator of a thyroid hormone receptor-beta is the only Food and Drug Administration approved therapy. As such, there is a critical need to improve our understanding of gene expression regulation and signaling transduction in MASLD to develop new therapies. Matrin-3 is a DNA- and RNA-binding protein involved in the pathogenesis of human diseases. Here we examined its previously uncharacterized role in limiting hepatic steatosis and stress response via the constitutive androstane receptor (CAR). MethodsMatrin-3 floxed and liver-specific knockout mice were fed either a chow diet or 60 kcal% high-fat diet (HFD) for up to 16 weeks. The mice were euthanized for different analysis including liver histology, lipid levels, and gene expression. Bulk RNA-seq, bulk ATAC-seq, and single-nucleus Multiome were used to examine changes of transcriptome and chromatin accessibility in the liver. Integrative bioinformatics analysis of our data and publicly available datasets and different biochemical assays were performed to identify underlying the molecular mechanisms mediating matrin-3's effects. Liver-tropic adeno-associated virus was used to restore the expression of CAR for lipid, acute phase genes, and histological analysis. ResultsMatrin-3 expression is induced in the steatotic livers of mice. Liver-specific matrin-3 deletion exacerbated HFD-induced steatosis, acute phase response, and inflammation in the liver of female mice. The transcriptome and chromatin accessibility were re-programmed in the liver of these mice with signatures indicating that CAR signaling is dysregulated. Mechanistically, matrin-3 interacts with CAR mRNA, and matrin-3 deficiency promotes CAR mRNA degradation. Consequently, matrin-3 deletion impaired CAR signaling by reducing CAR expression. Matrin-3 levels positively correlate with CAR expression in human livers. Ces2a and Il1r1 were identified as new target genes of CAR. Interestingly, we found that CAR discords with the expression of its target genes including Cyp2b10 and Ces2a in response to HFD, indicating CAR signaling is dysregulated by HFD despite increased CAR expression. Dysregulated CAR signaling upon matrin-3 deficiency reduced Ces2a and de-repressed Il1r1 expression. CAR restoration partially abrogated the dysregulated gene expression, exacerbated hepatic steatosis, acute phase response, and inflammation in liver-specific matrin-3 knockout mice fed a HFD. ConclusionsOur findings demonstrate that matrin-3 is a key upstream regulator maintaining CAR signaling upon metabolic stress, and the matrin-3-CAR axis limits hepatic steatosis and stress response signaling that may give insights for therapeutic intervention.

Programmable metasurfaces with high angular stability for arbitrarily-polarized obliquely-incident waves

Programmable metasurfaces show enormous potential in real-time electromagnetic (EM) manipulation and their stable responses to variable EM waves including incident angle and polarization changes are crucial for related applications. However, the demonstrated programmable metasurfaces are commonly considered in normal-incident waves with fixed polarization; how to achieve stable performance in more realistic scenarios of wide-angle and full-polarized wave incidences is still a challenge. Here, we propose and realize a wide-angle and full-polarization programmable metasurface, which can generate stabilized amplitude and phase responses at both transverse electric (TE) and transverse magnetic (TM) oblique incidences. These are achieved by introducing metallic walls around the metasurface element to reduce element coupling, which greatly improves the angular stability of its reflection responses. The mechanisms of angular insensitivity are analyzed comprehensively, and as a proof of concept, obliquely-incident beam steering, large-angle beam scanning and oblique vortex beam emitting are demonstrated on this programmable metasurface. Both the simulation and experimental results demonstrate that the programmable metasurface can operate well at both TE and TM wide-angle oblique incidences in the upper half space. Our work offers an actual route for improving the angular stability and polarization insensitivity of metasurfaces, which could push them one step closer towards more complicated applications.

4-bit millimeter-wave Janus metasurface enabled polarization-spatial multiplexing holography.

Metasurface holography has become a surging and revolutionized field due to its flexible manipulation of amplitude and/or phase, which enhances the quality and capacity of holographic images. However, the current meta-holograms primarily focus on half-space manipulation, posing a challenge in developing simplified meta-hologram structures for spatial multiplexing. To address this situation, what we believe to be a novel 4-bit "Janus" metasurface combined with the weighted Gerchberg-Saxton (WGS) algorithm is proposed to record and reconstruct two distinct images in millimeter wave band. By meticulously designing the single-layer units, the 4-bit Janus metasurface achieves independent amplitude and phase responses in two orthogonal information channels. Moreover, the imaging ability of the proposed metasurface is investigated under different amplitude and phase dispersion. Comparative analysis also highlights several notable advantages of our work, including a low-profile design, polarization-frequency multiplexing, and enhanced imaging efficiency. The proposed method is verified through theoretical calculations, simulations, and experiments, and promises a versatile platform for applications in data storage, encryption, and auxiliary sensing.

Simultaneous Circular Dichroism and Wavefront Manipulation with Generalized Pancharatnam-Berry Phase Metasurfaces.

Simultaneous circular dichroism and wavefront manipulation have gained considerable attention in various applications, such as chiroptical spectroscopy, chiral imaging, sorting and detection of enantiomers, and quantum optics, which can improve the miniaturization and integration of the optical system. Typically, structures with n-fold rotational symmetry (n ≥ 3) are used to improve circular dichroism, as they induce stronger interactions between the electric and magnetic fields. However, manipulating the wavefront with these structures remains challenging because they are commonly considered isotropic and lack a geometric phase response in linear optics. Here, we propose and experimentally demonstrate an approach to achieve simultaneous circular dichroism (with a maximum value of ∼0.62) and wavefront manipulation using a plasmonic metasurface made up of C3 Archimedes spiral nanostructures. The circular dichroism arises from the magnetic dipole-dipole resonance and strong interactions between adjacent meta-atoms. As a proof of concept, two metadevices are fabricated and characterized in the near-infrared regime. This configuration possesses the potential for future applications in photodetection, chiroptical spectroscopy, and the customization of linear and nonlinear optical responses.

Acoustic ejection mass spectrometry empowers ultra-fast protein biomarker quantification

The global scientific response to COVID 19 highlighted the urgent need for increased throughput and capacity in bioanalytical laboratories, especially for the precise quantification of proteins that pertain to health and disease. Acoustic ejection mass spectrometry (AEMS) represents a much-needed paradigm shift for ultra-fast biomarker screening. Here, a quantitative AEMS assays is presented, employing peptide immunocapture to enrich (i) 10 acute phase response (APR) protein markers from plasma, and (ii) SARS-CoV-2 NCAP peptides from nasopharyngeal swabs. The APR proteins were quantified in 267 plasma samples, in triplicate in 4.8 h, with %CV from 4.2% to 10.5%. SARS-CoV-2 peptides were quantified in triplicate from 145 viral swabs in 10 min. This assay represents a 15-fold speed improvement over LC-MS, with instrument stability demonstrated across 10,000 peptide measurements. The combination of speed from AEMS and selectivity from peptide immunocapture enables ultra-high throughput, reproducible quantitative biomarker screening in very large cohorts.

Interactions of Serum Amyloid A Proteins with the Blood-Brain Barrier: Implications for Central Nervous System Disease.

Serum amyloid A (SAA) proteins are highly conserved lipoproteins that are notoriously involved in the acute phase response and systemic amyloidosis, but their biological functions are incompletely understood. Recent work has shown that SAA proteins can enter the brain by crossing the intact blood-brain barrier (BBB), and that they can impair BBB functions. Once in the central nervous system (CNS), SAA proteins can have both protective and harmful effects, which have important implications for CNS disease. In this review of the thematic series on SAA, we discuss the existing literature that relates SAA to neuroinflammation and CNS disease, and the possible roles of the BBB in these relations.

Profiling the neuroimmune cascade in 3xTg-AD mice exposed to successive mild traumatic brain injuries

Repetitive mild traumatic brain injuries (rmTBI) sustained within a window of vulnerability can result in long term cognitive deficits, depression, and eventual neurodegeneration associated with tau pathology, amyloid beta (Aβ) plaques, gliosis, and neuronal and functional loss. However, a comprehensive study relating acute changes in immune signaling and glial reactivity to neuronal changes and pathological markers after single and repetitive mTBIs is currently lacking. In the current study, we addressed the question of how repeated injuries affect the brain neuroimmune response in the acute phase of injury (< 24 h) by exposing the 3xTg-AD mouse model of tau and Aβ pathology to successive (1x-5x) once-daily weight drop closed-head injuries and quantifying immune markers, pathological markers, and transcriptional profiles at 30 min, 4 h, and 24 h after each injury. We used young adult 2–4 month old 3xTg-AD mice to model the effects of rmTBI in the absence of significant tau and Aβ pathology. We identified pronounced sexual dimorphism in this model, with females eliciting more diverse changes after injury compared to males. Specifically, females showed: (1) a single injury caused a decrease in neuron-enriched genes inversely correlated with inflammatory protein expression and an increase in AD-related genes within 24 h, (2) each injury significantly increased a group of cortical cytokines (IL-1α, IL-1β, IL-2, IL-9, IL-13, IL-17, KC) and MAPK phospho-proteins (phospho-Atf2, phospho-Mek1), several of which co-labeled with neurons and correlated with phospho-tau, and (3) repetitive injury caused increased expression of genes associated with astrocyte reactivity and macrophage-associated immune function. Collectively our data suggest that neurons respond to a single injury within 24 h, while other cell types, including astrocytes, transition to inflammatory phenotypes within days of repetitive injury.
