Sigma-1 receptor (σ 1R) has become a focus point of drug discovery for central nervous system (CNS) diseases. A series of novel 1-phenylethan-1-one O-(2-aminoethyl) oxime derivatives were synthesized. In vitro biological evaluation led to the identification of 1a, 14a, 15d and 16d as the most high-affinity (K i < 4 nmol/L) and selective σ 1R agonists. Among these, 15d, the most metabolically stable derivative exhibited high selectivity for σ 1R in relation to σ 2R and 52 other human targets. In addition to low CYP450 inhibition and induction, 15d also exhibited high brain permeability and excellent oral bioavailability. Importantly, 15d demonstrated effective antipsychotic potency, particularly for alleviating negative symptoms and improving cognitive impairment in experimental animal models, both of which are major challenges for schizophrenia treatment. Moreover, 15d produced no significant extrapyramidal symptoms, exhibiting superior pharmacological profiles in relation to current antipsychotic drugs. Mechanistically, 15d inhibited GSK3β and enhanced prefrontal BDNF expression and excitatory synaptic transmission in pyramidal neurons. Collectively, these in vivo proof-of-concept findings provide substantial experimental evidence to demonstrate that modulating σ 1R represents a potential new therapeutic approach for schizophrenia. The novel chemical entity along with its favorable drug-like and pharmacological profile of 15d renders it a promising candidate for treating schizophrenia.

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is an enveloped, negative-sense, single-stranded RNA virus of the Orthopneumovirus genus of the Pneumoviridae family in the order Mononegavirales. RSV can cause acute upper and lower respiratory tract infections, sometimes with extrapulmonary complications. The disease burden of RSV infection is enormous, mainly affecting infants and older adults aged 75 years or above. Currently, treatment options for RSV are largely supportive. Prevention strategies remain a critical focus, with efforts centered on vaccine development and the use of prophylactic monoclonal antibodies. To date, three RSV vaccines have been approved for active immunization among individuals aged 60 years and above. For children who are not eligible for these vaccines, passive immunization is recommended. A newly approved prophylactic monoclonal antibody, Nirsevimab, which offers enhanced neutralizing activity and an extended half-life, provides exceptional protection for high-risk infants and young children. This review provides a comprehensive and detailed exploration of RSV's virology, immunology, pathogenesis, epidemiology, clinical manifestations, treatment options, and prevention strategies.

BACKGROUND:
Stress cardiomyopathy (SCM) currently has a high incidence in older adults, and the theories regarding its causes include "catecholamine myocardial toxicity" and "sympathetic hyperactivation". However, the role of the central nervous system in the pathogenesis of SCM remains unknown. We investigated the role of microglia activation in the paraventricular hypothalamic nucleus (PVN) in the development of SCM.
METHODS:
An SCM model was created using male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats, immobilized for 6 h every day for a week. Electrocardiogram, cardiac electrophysiology, and echocardiography examinations were performed to verify the changes in cardiac structure and function in rats with SCM. RNA sequencing was used to explore the changes in the hypothalamus during SCM. In addition, brain and heart tissues were collected to detect microglial activation and sympathetic activity.
RESULTS:
The main findings were as follows: (1) immobilization stress successfully induced SCM in SD rats; (2) microglia were significantly activated in the hypothalamus, as evidenced by cytosol thickening, increases in the number of microglial branches, and microglia enriched in the PVN; (3) in SCM, the microglia in the PVN exhibited increased central and peripheral cardiac sympathetic activity and increased the expression of neuroinflammatory factors; and (4) it is possible that inhibiting microglial activation could suppress the sympathetic activity of the central nervous system and heart and increase cardiac electrical stability in SCM rats.
CONCLUSIONS
SCM was induced in SD rats by immobilization stress, acting through the activation of the hypothalamic microglia. The activated microglia were specifically enriched in the PVN, increasing the activity of the central and peripheral sympathetic nervous systems by regulating the expression of neuro-inflammatory factors, mediating dysfunction of the left ventricle, and increasing the susceptibility to ventricular arrhythmias.

ObjectiveTo provide reference for further strengthening the management of laboratory animals in Sichuan Province by reviewing and analyzing the results of parasitic and microbial quality inspections of laboratory animals from 2017 to 2023. Methods Sichuan Province has 31 licensed laboratory animal production units, with the main species including mice, rats, guinea pigs, rabbits, dogs, monkeys, and pigs. Sampling inspections and reports were conducted for units with laboratory animal production qualifications in accordance with current national and local standards for laboratory animal classification. The quality inspection results for various laboratory animals in Sichuan Province from 2017 to 2023 were analyzed. Results With the exception of 2018, annual quality inspections of laboratory animals were conducted every year between 2017 and 2023. Mice: In 2017, positive results for helminths, flagellates, Salmonella, murine hepatitis virus antibodies, and murine pneumonia virus antibodies were detected, with a pass rate of only 42.9%. In 2019, Staphylococcus aureus and Klebsiella pneumoniae were detected, with a pass rate of 86.7%. In 2021, Sendai virus antibodies were detected, yielding a pass rate of 85.7%.The pass rate in 2020, 2022, and 2023 was 100%. Rats: In 2017, positive results were found for helminths, mycoplasma antibodies, Staphylococcus aureus, Sendai virus antibodies, murine pneumonia virus antibodies, rat parvovirus RV strain antibodies, rat parvovirus (H-1) strain antibodies, and rat coronavirus antibodies, with a pass rate of 40.0%. In 2019, mycoplasma antibodies, Staphylococcus aureus and Klebsiella pneumoniae were detected, with a pass rate of 35.0%. No positive indicators were detected in 2020. In 2021, Sendai virus antibodies and rat parvovirus RV strain antibodies were detected, with a pass rate of 50.0%. In 2022, positive results for rat parvovirus RV strain antibodies were found, yielding a pass rate of 87.5%. In 2023, Pasteurella pneumotropica and Klebsiella pneumoniae were detected, with a pass rate of 85.7%. Dogs: In 2017 and 2019, the antibody titers for rabies virus and canine distemper virus were below the required standard, with pass rates of 33.3% and 20.0%, respectively. In 2020 and 2022, the pass rate was 100%. Guinea pigs (general grade): In 2019, positive results for Toxoplasma antibodies were detected, with a pass rate of 80.0%. In all other years, the pass rate was 100%. Monkeys: In 2019, positive results for Toxoplasma gondii and rhesus herpesvirus type I antibodies were found, with a pass rate of 87.5%.In 2020 and 2022, rhesus herpesvirus type I antibodies were positively detected, yielding pass rates of 93.3% and 97.5%, respectively. The pass rates in 2021 and 2023 were 100%. Clean guinea pigs, rabbits and pigs all passed the inspection each year. ConclusionIssues related to the parasitic and microbial quality of laboratory animals persist in Sichuan Province. Supervision and sampling inspections have proven to be effective in identifying these issues promptly, serving as a critical measure to ensure the quality of laboratory animals. The results of these inspections offer valuable data to support the healthy development of the laboratory animal industry in Sichuan Province.
