Background:
Diabetic pain patients have increased pain at night. Exosomes can relieve neuropathic pain. This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of exosome administration at different time points in relieving diabetic neuropathic pain (DNP) in rats.
Methods:
M2 macrophages from bone marrow were induced in mice and exosomes were extracted. A diabetic rat model was induced using streptozotocin, with the mechanical withdrawal threshold (MWT) of the rats beingmeasured at ≤ 80% of the basal value after 14 days, indicating successful construction of the DNP rat model.Exosomes were administered on three consecutive days at ZT0 (zeitgeber time) and ZT12. Parameters including blood glucose levels, body weight, MWT, and thermal withdrawal latency (TWL) were assessed in the rats. The lumbar spinal cord of rats was examined on days 21 and 28 to measure inflammatory factors and observe the expression of M1 and M2 microglia. Furthermore, microglia were exposed to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and LPS + exosomes in a controlled in vitro setting to assess alterations in microglia phenotype involving the NF-kB p65 andIKBα inflammatory signaling pathways.
Results:
The findings revealed that administration of exosomes during the rat resting period at ZT12 resulted in increased MWT and TWL, as well as a shift in microglia polarization towards the M2 phenotype. In vitro analysis indicated that exosomes influenced microglia polarization and suppressed the phosphorylation of NF-kB p65 andIKBα.
Conclusions
Temporal therapy with exosomes effectively reduces pain in DNP rats by polarizing microglia andaffecting NF-kB p65 and IKBα signaling pathways.

Objective To observe the value of diffusion kurtosis imaging(DKI)radiomics for evaluating Parkinson disease(PD).Methods Totally 76 PD patients(PD group)and 80 healthy controls(HC group)were retrospectively analyzed.The subjects were divided into training set(n=125,including 61 PD and 64 HC)and test set(n=31,including 15 PD and 16 HC)at the ratio of 8:2.ROI of bilateral substantia nigra,caudate nucleus,putamen,globus pallidus and thalamus were automatically delineated on mean kurtosis(MK)images of cerebral DKI.The mean MK values(MKmean)of the above ROIs were obtained and compared between groups.Support vector machine(SVM)model was constructed based on 50 selected optimal texture features.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was drawn,and the area under the curve(AUC)was calculated to evaluate the efficacy of SVM model for evaluating PD.Results MKmean of bilateral substantia nigra,caudate nucleus and thalamus in PD group were all significantly lower than those in HC group(all P<0.05).No significant difference of MKmean of bilateral putamen nor globus pallidus was found between groups(all P>0.05).The sensitivity,specificity,accuracy and AUC of SVM model for evaluating PD in training set was 86.89%,93.75%,90.40%and 0.982,respectively,which in test set was 86.67%,93.75%,90.32%and 0.958,respectively.Conclusion DKI radiomics could be used to effectively evaluate PD through description of microstructural changes of cerebral nuclei.

Objective To investigate the genetic causal relationship between rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and its serological antibody levels with pre-eclampsia (PE) based on Mendelian randomization (MR). Methods Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) with significant differences were screened as instrumental variables,and the five MR analytic method with the inverse variance weighting (IVW) as the main analytical method were applied to comprehensively assess the causal cc relationship between OA,serum antibody levels PE.The MR-Egger intercept method,MR pleiotropy residual and outlier (MR-PRESSO) method,Cochrane's Q-test were applied to explore the horizontal pleiotropy and heterogeneity of SNP,and the leave-one-out meth-od was used to explore the effect of individual SNPs on MR results.Results The IVW result indicated that RA (OR=1.098,95%CI:1.036-1.164,P=0.002) and seropositive RA (OR=1.088,95%CI:1.026-1.153,P=0.005) were the PE risk factors,whereas seronegative RA (OR=1.036,95%CI:0.971-1.104, P=0.282) did not have a significant causal relationship with PE.No significant level pleiotropy or heteroge-neity was found in the SNPs used in MR analyses of the 3 exposure factors.rs34434863 played a decisive role in the causal relationship of RA and seropositive RA with PE.Conclusion Based on MR analysis,there is a significant positive causal relationship between RA and seropositive RA with PE,whereas there was no signifi-cant causal relationship between seronegative RA and PE.
