in PV-positive interneurons and a potential therapeutic target for psychiatric disorders associated with PGC-1α dysregulation. BACKGROUNDS Recently, extensive evidence has indicated that the biological role of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in neurodegenerative diseases is becoming increasingly evident. The lncRNA brain-derived neurotrophic factor anti-sense (BDNF-AS) has been found to be dysregulated in Huntington's Disease. However, the function of BDNF-AS in Parkinson's disease (PD) remains unknown. The purpose of this present study was to explore the effect of BDNF-AS on PD and its underlying molecular mechanisms. METHODS The MPTP-induced mouse model of PD and MPP+-induced SH-SY5Y cell model were established. Immunofluorescence was performed to determine the number of TH + positive cells. Mice behavioral changes were detected by pole and rota-rod test. SH-SY5Y cells viability, apoptosis was detected by MTT assay and flow cytometry. The number of autophagosome was measured by transmission electron microscopy. Dopamine content was tested by high performance liquid chromatography. Dual-luciferase reporter gene assay was utilized to rget for PD. New European legislation known as REACH, (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and restriction of Chemicals) was introduced in 2007 to increase the speed at which the health and/or environmental risks of industrial chemicals were being assessed and managed (REACH (EC) No 1907/2006). REACH consolidated earlier chemicals-control statutes and placed the burden of assessing, and identifying the means to manage risks on industry. In 2010 November, RioTinto Alcan registered three substances - aluminium, aluminium oxide and aluminium hydroxide as the lead registrant in accordance with this legislation. This paper details the REACH process for controlling and managing hazardous chemicals and challenges encountered in applying the provisions of REACH and the guidance documents available from European Chemical Agency. In addition, this paper provides an overview of the REACH legislation and outlines the requirements of compiling a dossier of information on a substance to illustrate the approach adopted by the Aluminium REACH Consortium in fulfilling its responsibilities under REACH for the registration of aluminium metal (CAS# 7429-90-5), aluminium hydroxide (CAS# 21645-51-2) and aluminium oxide (CAS# 1344-28-1). V.BACKGROUND Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been defined as critical regulators of various human diseases. However, the functions of lncRNAs in Parkinson's disease (PD) have not yet been elucidated. In this study, we investigated the role of lncRNA AL049437 in PD and its underlying mechanism. METHODS An in vivo model of PD was established using 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP), while an in vitro model was created using N-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium (MPP+). Gene expression was evaluated using quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction and western blotting. The effects and mechanism of AL049437 in PD were explored using Cell Counting Kit-8 assay, flow cytometry, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and 2',7'-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate fluorescence assay. The interaction between AL049437, miR-205-5p, and mitogen-activated protein kinase 1 (MAPK1) was evaluated using luciferase reporter and RNA pull-down assays. RESULTS The expression of AL049437 was upregulated, whilen. Research efforts in the past decades have provided insight into the adverse health effects of air pollution exposure. Exposure to airborne particulate matter is known to impair the respiratory and cardiovascular systems, and more recent investigations have provided evidence demonstrating harmful effects on the central nervous system. Investigations have primarily focused on the interconnected cellular pathways of inflammation and oxidative stress, which are induced by pollutant particle exposure both in peripheral tissues, and in the brain. Alterations to mitochondria, organelles important for cellular respiration and signaling, are often associated with increased cellular oxidative stress. This review focuses on the role of mitochondria in particulate matter-induced adverse effects on cellular health. More investigation to link air pollution and human health on the cellular and molecular level could in the future aid the development of more effective preventive and therapeutic options to combat pollutant particle-induced alterations. BACKGROUND Mild hypercapnia may increase cerebral oxygenation and attenuate cerebral injury in post-cardiac arrest patients. However, its association with hospital mortality has not been evaluated. METHODS We conducted a retrospective multi-center study of prospectively collected data of all cardiac arrest patients admitted to the ICU between 2014 and 2015. Different kinds of arterial carbon dioxide tension (PaCO2), including time-weighted mean PaCO2, mean PaCO2, admission PaCO2 and proportion of time spent in four PaCO2 categories (hypocapnia, normocapnia, mild hypercapnia, and severe hypercapnia) were used to explore the association with outcomes. Restricted cubic splines models were built to evaluate the association between PaCO2 and odds ratio for hospital mortality in overall population and subgroups of different pH levels (acidosis, normal pH and alkalosis). RESULTS 2783 post-cardiac arrest patients in 150 ICUs were included. 933 (33.5%) were classified into the hypocapnia (PaCO2 55 mmHg) group. Compared with normocapnia, mild hypercapnia was not associated with higher hospital survival probability (OR 1.08 [95% CI 0.84-1.38, p = 0.558]). Time spent in the normocapnia was associated with good outcome (OR 0.98 [95% CI 0.97-0.99, p  less then  0.001], for every 5 percentage point increase in time), but mild hypercapnia was not (OR 1 [95% CI 0.98-1.01, p = 0.542]). Cox-proportional hazards models supported these findings. Associations between PaCO2 and hospital mortality were not statistically significant in normal pH and alkalosis subgroups. BafilomycinA1 CONCLUSIONS PaCO2 has a U-shaped association with odds ratio for hospital mortality, with mild hypercapnia not having a higher hospital survival probability than normocapnia in post-cardiac arrest patients.
