The present paper aims to investigate the relation between characteristic parameters of transesophageal photoelectric pulse wave in descending aorta and ambulatory artery blood pressure. The chests of ten adult experimental dogs were performed to take the photoelectric pulse wave of descending aorta transesophageally. The concurrent femoral artery invasive blood pressure was recorded simultaneously. Stepwise regression analysis method was used to study the correlation efficient between characteristic parameters of descending aorta pulse wave (H, h, h/H, g/H, At, s, H(1 + ts/td), k)and invasive artery blood pressure. The characteristic parameters, k and h/H (ratio: 90% and 80%) was proved that they had good correlation with systolic pressure; and k, H and s (ratio: 90%, 80% and 70%), had good correlation with diastolic pressure; while k and H (ratio: 90% for both) had good correlation with mean pressure. The mean values of multiple correlation coefficients of the selected characteristic parameters of descending aorta pulse wave with systolic pressure, diastolic pressure and mean pressure of femoral artery were 0.871, 0.900 and 0.856, respectively. The characteristic parameters of descending aorta pulse wave had specific correlation with systolic pressure, diastolic pressure and mean pressure.

Aging associated cognitive decline has been linked to dampened neural stem/progenitor cells (NSC/NPCs) activities manifested by decreased proliferation, reduced propensity to produce neurons, and increased differentiation into astrocytes. While gene transcription changes objectively reveal molecular alterations of cells undergoing various biological processes, the search for molecular mechanisms underlying aging of NSC/NPCs has been confronted by the enormous heterogeneity in cellular compositions of the brain and the complex cellular microenvironment where NSC/NPCs reside. Moreover, brain NSC/NPCs themselves are not a homogenous population, making it even more difficult to uncover NSC/NPC sub-type specific aging mechanisms. Here, using both population-based and single cell transcriptome analyses of young and aged mouse forebrain ependymal and subependymal regions and comprehensive "big-data" processing, we report that NSC/NPCs reside in a rather inflammatory environment in aged brain, which likely contributes to the differentiation bias towards astrocytes versus neurons. Moreover, single cell transcriptome analyses revealed that different aged NSC/NPC subpopulations, while all have reduced cell proliferation, use different gene transcription programs to regulate age-dependent decline in cell cycle. Interestingly, changes in cell proliferation capacity are not influenced by inflammatory cytokines, but likely result from cell intrinsic mechanisms. The Erk/Mapk pathway appears to be critically involved in regulating age-dependent changes in the capacity for NSC/NPCs to undergo clonal expansion. Together this study is the first example of using population and single cell based transcriptome analyses to unveil the molecular interplay between different NSC/NPCs and their microenvironment in the context of the aging brain.

The mammalian brain is heterogeneous, containing billions of neurons and trillions of synapses forming various neural circuitries, through which sense, movement, thought, and emotion arise. The cellular heterogeneity of the brain has made it difficult to study the molecular logic of neural circuitry wiring, pruning, activation, and plasticity, until recently, transcriptome analyses with single cell resolution makes decoding of gene regulatory networks underlying aforementioned circuitry properties possible. Here we report success in performing both electrophysiological and whole-genome transcriptome analyses on single human neurons in culture. Using Weighted Gene Coexpression Network Analyses (WGCNA), we identified gene clusters highly correlated with neuronal maturation judged by electrophysiological characteristics. A tight link between neuronal maturation and genes involved in ubiquitination and mitochondrial function was revealed. Moreover, we identified a list of candidate genes, which could potentially serve as biomarkers for neuronal maturation. Coupled electrophysiological recording and single cell transcriptome analysis will serve as powerful tools in the future to unveil molecular logics for neural circuitry functions.
