Identification of safe and effective compounds to increase or activate UCP1 expression in brown or white adipocytes remains a potent therapeutic strategy to combat obesity. Here we reported that, glyburide, one of the FDA-approved drugs currently used to treat type 2 diabetes, can significantly enhance UCP1 expression in both brown and white adipocytes. Glyburide-fed mice exhibited a clear resistance to high-fat diet-induced obesity, reduced blood triglyceride level, and increased UCP1 expression in brown adipose tissue. Moreover, in situ injection of glyburide to inguinal white adipose tissue remarkably enhanced UCP1 expression and increased thermogenesis. Further mechanistic studies indicated that the glyburide effect in UCP1 expression in adipocyteswas KATP channel independent but may involve the regulation of the Ca2+-Calcineurin-NFAT signal pathway. Overall, our findings revealed the significant effects of glyburide in regulating UCP1 expression and thermogenesis in adipocytes, which can be potentially repurposed to treat obesity.

Reperfusion injury is still a major challenge that impedes neuronal survival in ischemic stroke. However, the current clinical treatments are remained on single pathological process, which are due to lack of comprehensive neuroprotective effects. Herein, a macrophage-disguised honeycomb manganese dioxide (MnO2) nanosphere loaded with fingolimod (FTY) is developed to salvage the ischemic penumbra. In particular, the biomimetic nanoparticles can accumulate actively in the damaged brain via macrophage-membrane protein-mediated recognition with cell adhesion molecules that are overexpressed on the damaged vascular endothelium. MnO2 nanosphere can consume excess hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and convert it into desiderated oxygen (O-2), and can be decomposed in acidic lysosome for cargo release, so as to reduce oxidative stress and promote the transition of M1 microglia to M2 type, eventually reversing the proinflammatory microenvironment and reinforcing the survival of damaged neuron. This biomimetic nanomedicine raises new strategy for multitargeted combined treatment of ischemic stroke.

Process-in-Memory (PIM) has become a favorable solution for data intensive applications with its advantages of placing processing units in or near memory, reducing the movement of data between memory and processing unit. However, most recent PIM platforms have relatively large limitations in terms of computing flexibility and types of computing, and programming is complicated, which cannot provide a unified programming framework. Therefore, it becomes a challenge to deploy the code to the hardware, which severely restricts the application development on the PIM platform. This paper presents a method of code conversion based on the PIM platform, which allows users to develop applications on the PIM platform with the high-level programming language, makes the PIM platform more accessible in the development of data intensive applications.

In this work, four kinds of deep eutectic solvents (DESs), composed of choline chloride (ChCl) and several alcohols, were synthesized and characterized by H-1 NMR and FT-IR spectra. Based on DES ( ChCl and 1,4-butanediol) and inorganic salt solution (dipotassium phosphate, K2HPO4), aqueous two-phase system (ATPS) coupled with high-performance liquid chromatography has been developed and applied. This method was used for the efficient extraction and determination of eight common ginsenosides (including ginsenoside Rg(1), Re, Rf, Rg(2), Rc, Rb-2 and Rd) in the traditional Chinese medicine injection named Kang'ai injection. To achieve optimum extraction performance, the experimental conditions were optimized, including type and amount of DES and salt, ultrasound time, temperature and pH value. In the dynamic linearity range, experimental results showed satisfactory recoveries of analytes ranging from 92.7-110.8% with the relative standard deviations (RSDs) ranging from 1.2-3.9%. It has been proved that DES-ATPS has great potential for determination of active ingredients in traditional Chinese medicine injection as well as samples in other analytical science field.
