Pathophysiology of bilateral hyperaldosteronism.

Authors:
Kazutaka Nanba William E Rainey

Curr Opin Endocrinol Diabetes Obes 2022 06;29(3):233-242

Department of Molecular and Integrative Physiology.

Purpose Of Review: Renin-independent aldosterone production from one or both affected adrenal(s), a condition known as primary aldosteronism (PA), is a common cause of secondary hypertension. In this review, we aimed to summarize recent findings regarding pathophysiology of bilateral forms of PA, including sporadic bilateral hyperaldosteronism (BHA) and rare familial hyperaldosteronism.

Recent Findings: The presence of subcapsular aldosterone synthase (CYP11B2)-expressing aldosterone-producing micronodules, also called aldosterone-producing cell clusters, appears to be a common histologic feature of adrenals with sporadic BHA. Aldosterone-producing micronodules frequently harbor aldosterone-driver somatic mutations. Other potential factors leading to sporadic BHA include rare disease-predisposing germline variants, circulating angiotensin II type 1 receptor autoantibodies, and paracrine activation of aldosterone production by adrenal mast cells. The application of whole exome sequencing has also identified new genes that cause inherited familial forms of PA.

Summary: Research over the past 10 years has significantly improved our understanding of the molecular pathogenesis of bilateral PA. Based on the improved understanding of BHA, future studies should have the ability to develop more personalized treatment options and advanced diagnostic tools for patients with PA.

Systematic development of extraction methods for quantitative microplastics analysis in soils using metal-doped plastics.

Authors:
Alissa H Tophinke Akshay Joshi Urs Baier Rudolf Hufenus Denise M Mitrano

Environ Pollut 2022 Aug 12:119933. Epub 2022 Aug 12.

ETH Zurich, Department of Environmental Systems Science, Universitätstrasse 16, 8092, Zurich, Switzerland. Electronic address:

The inconsistency of available methods and the lack of harmonization in current microplastics (MPs) analysis in soils demand approaches for extraction and quantification which can be utilized across a wide variety of soil types. To enable robust and accurate assessment of extraction workflows, PET MPs with an inorganic tracer (Indium, 0.2% wt) were spiked into individual soil subgroups and standard soils with varying compositions.

Interplay of cGAS with micronuclei: regulation and diseases.

In higher eukaryotes, sophisticate regulation of genome function requires all chromosomes to be packed into a single nucleus. Micronucleus (MN), the dissociative nucleus-like structure frequently observed in aging and multiple disease settings, has critical, yet under-recognized, pathophysiological functions. Micronuclei (MNi) have recently emerged as major sources of cytosolic DNA that can activate the cGAS-STING axis in a cell-intrinsic manner. Read More

Vagus nerve stimulation-induced cognitive enhancement: Hippocampal neuroplasticity in healthy male rats.

Authors:
Laura K Olsen Raquel J Moore Naomi A Bechmann Victoria T Ethridge Nathan M Gargas Sylvia D Cunningham Zhanpeng Kuang Joshua K Whicker Joyce G Rohan Candice N Hatcher-Solis

Brain Stimul 2022 Aug 12. Epub 2022 Aug 12.

Cognitive Neuroscience, 711th HPW, AFRL, Wright-Patterson AFB, OH, USA. Electronic address:

Background: Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) improves cognition in humans and rodents, but the effects of a single session of VNS on performance and plasticity are not well understood.

Objective: Behavioral performance and hippocampal (HC) electrophysiology/neurotrophin expression were measured in healthy adult rats after VNS paired training to investigate changes in cognition and synaptic plasticity.

Methods: Platinum/iridium electrodes were surgically implanted around the left cervical branch of the VN of anesthetized male Sprague-Dawley rats (N = 47). Read More
