The prefrontal cortex (PFC) plays a pivotal role in orchestrating higher-order emotional and cognitive processes, a function that depends on the precise modulation of synaptic activity. Although pharmacological studies have demonstrated that dopamine signaling through dopamine D1 receptor (DRD1) in the PFC is essential for these functions, the cell-type-specific and molecular mechanisms underlying the neuromodulatory effects remain elusive. Using cell-type-specific knockout mice and patch-clamp recordings, we investigated the regulatory role of DRD1 on neurons and astrocytes in synaptic transmission and plasticity. Furthermore, we explored the mechanisms by which DRD1 on astrocytes regulate synaptic transmission and plasticity at the cellular level, as well as emotional and cognitive functions at the behavioral level, through two-photon imaging, microdialysis, high-performance liquid chromatography, transcriptome sequencing, and behavioral testing. We found that conditional knockout of the Drd1 in astrocytes (CKO^AST) increased glutamatergic synaptic transmission and long-term potentiation (LTP) in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), whereas Drd1 deletion in pyramidal neurons did not affect synaptic transmission. The elevated level of d-serine in the mPFC of CKO^AST mice increased glutamatergic transmission and LTP through NMDA receptors. In addition, CKO^AST mice exhibited abnormal emotional and cognitive function. Notably, these behavioral changes in CKO^AST mice could be reversed through the administration of d-serine degrease to the mPFC. These results highlight the critical role of the astrocytic DRD1 in modulating mPFC synaptic transmission and plasticity, as well as higher brain functions through d-serine, and may shed light on the treatment of mental disorders.

Attention is the cornerstone of effective functioning in a complex and information-rich world. While the neural activity of attention has been extensively studied in the cortex, the brain-wide neural activity patterns are largely unknown. In this study, we conducted a comprehensive analysis of neural activity across the mouse brain during attentional processing using EEG and c-Fos staining, utilizing hierarchical clustering and c-Fos-based functional network analysis to evaluate the c-Fos activation patterns. Our findings reveal that a wide range of brain regions are activated, notably in the high-order cortex, thalamus, and brain stem regions involved in advanced cognition and arousal regulation, with the central lateral nucleus of the thalamus as a strong hub, suggesting the crucial role of the thalamus in attention control. These results provide valuable insights into the neural network mechanisms underlying attention, offering a foundation for formulating functional hypotheses and conducting circuit-level testing.

Objective To explore the high-quality development path of tertiary public hospitals and provide scientific reference for deepening the reform of public hospitals.Methods Based on SPO theory,it constructed an analytical framework for the high-quality development of tertiary public hospitals,collected data of a quarterly monitoring in-dex for the performance assessment and high-quality development of tertiary public hospitals in a certain province in 2023,and analysed 73 tertiary public hospitals participating in the performance assessment as the object of analy-sis,and adopted the fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis to explore different condition sets of high-quality de-velopment of tertiary public hospitals and reveal the path of high-quality development of public hospitals.Results High-quality development is the result of multi-factor interaction.Four configurations were identified to promote the high-quality development of tertiary public hospitals:service quality-technology-driven path,service quality-driven path,comprehensive service-driven path,and service quality-benefit-driven path.Quality safety and functional orientation were found to be the core elements in promoting high-quality development of public hospitals.Conclusion Hospitals at all levels should strengthen the guidance of party building,combine with the actual functional positioning,take quality and safety as the core,and optimize the combination conditions of technical level,personnel structure,service process,and cost control.It is essential to clarify the development strategy of hospitals,implement the dynamic concept,and realize the high-quality development of public hospitals.

Objective To empirically analyze the status quo of high-quality development of public hospitals in S Province,provides reference for promoting high-quality development of public hospitals.Methods SPSS 26.0 soft-ware and text analysis method were used to process the high-quality development monitoring data of tertiary public hospitals in S Province,and the qualitative interview results obtained by field investigation were comprehensively ana-lyzed.Results In terms of capacity improvement,public hospitals actively take measures such as the construction of medical union and the reform of payment methods to improve their capacity.Specialized hospitals and maternity and child care hospitals need to be improved in some indicators.In terms of structural optimization,the quality of medi-cal services is high in all regions.The proportion of medical service revenue and the proportion of high-grade surgery still need to be increased.In terms of innovation and efficiency improvement,the application level of electronic medi-cal records has made remarkable progress in various regions.There are differences in the funding of scientific re-search projects.In terms of cultural cohesion,patient satisfaction was higher.There is improvement room in the satisfaction of medical staff.Conclusion Third-level public hospitals in S province have achieved certain results in high-quality de-velopment,but there are still problems,such as the need to further integrate party building work with hospital busi-ness work,the lack of connection between performance incentive and performance evaluation index system,and the need to improve the satisfaction of medical staff.It is necessary to solve the problem and improve the quality and efficiency of medical service.
