COVID-19 has become a long-term problem, and global pandemic conditions may persist for years. Researchers are providing mounting evidence of relationships between COVID-19 lockdowns and sleep problems. However, few studies have investigated the impact of home isolation on sleep time perception, especially in comparable social isolation situations with similar pressures. Subjective sleep time perception parameters were derived from sleep diaries. Objective parameters were derived from actigraphy. Subjective and objective data were obtained between February 17 and February 27, 2020 from 70 adult participants subject to COVID-19 related lockdown provisions in China. We divided participants into a home stayers (HS) group (subject to full stay-at home orders) and an area-restricted workers (ARW) group (permitted to work at their nearby workplaces). The HS group demonstrated significantly delayed actigraphy-defined sleep onset time compared to self-reported sleep onset time; this effect was absent in the ARW group. Between-group differences in actigraphy-defined sleep onset time and significant between-group differences for actigraphy-defined and self-reported wake-up time were observed. HS group participants also presented significantly delayed actigraphy-defined wake-up time compared with self-reported wake-up time. No significant effect was found on total sleep time perception. Moreover, sleep/wake time misperception were found to be associated with daylight exposure and physical activity levels respectively. To the extent they are generalizable, these results suggest that lockdown restrictions can affect sleep onset and wake-up time perception but not total sleep time perception. Public health policy should consider such effects in the present pandemic situation and in future emergent public health situations.Oxaliplatin (OXA) is a third-generation platinum drug; however, its application is greatly limited due to the severe peripheral neurotoxicity. This study aims to confirm the transport mechanism of OXA and to explore whether L-tetrahydropalmatine (L-THP) would alleviate OXA-induced peripheral neurotoxicity by selectively inhibiting these uptake transporters in vitro and in vivo. Our results revealed that organic cation transporter 2 (OCT2), organic cation/carnitine transporter 1 (OCTN1) and organic cation/carnitine transporter 2 (OCTN2) were involved in the uptake of OXA in dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons and mitochondria, respectively. L-THP (1-100 μM) reduced OXA (40 μM) induced cytotoxicity in MDCK-hOCT2 (Madin-Darby canine kidney, MDCK), MDCK-hOCTN1, MDCK-hOCTN2, and rat primary DRG cells, and decreased the accumulation of OXA in above cells and rat DRG mitochondria, but did not affect its efflux from MDCK-hMRP2 cells. Furthermore, Co-administration of L-THP (5-20 mg/kg for mice, 10-40 mg/kg for rats; twice a week, iv or ig) attenuated OXA (8 mg/kg for mice, 4 mg/kg for rats; twice a week, iv) induced peripheral neurotoxicity and reduced the platinum concentration in the DRG. Whereas, L-THP (1-100 μM for cells; 10-20 mg/kg for mice) did not impair the antitumour efficacy of OXA (40 μM for cells; 8 mg/kg for mice) in HT29 tumour-bearing nude mice nor in tumour cells (HT29 and SW620 cells). In conclusion, OCT2, OCTN1 and OCTN2 contribute to OXA uptake in the DRG and mitochondria. L-THP attenuates OXA-induced peripheral neurotoxicity via inhibiting OXA uptake but without impairing the antitumour efficacy of OXA. L-THP is a potential candidate drug to attenuate OXA-induced peripheral neurotoxicity.Cadmium (Cd) is a toxic heavy metal that accumulates in the brain and causes a series of histopathological changes. Trastuzumab deruxtecan in vivo Selenium (Se) exerts a crucial function in protecting damage caused by toxic heavy metals, but its potential mechanism is rarely studied. The main purpose of this study is to explore the protective effects of Se on Cd-induced oxidative stress and autophagy in rabbit cerebrum. Forty rabbits were randomly divided into four groups and treated as follows Control group, Cd (1 mg/kg⋅BW) group, Se (0.5 mg/kg⋅BW) group and Cd (1 mg/kg⋅BW)+Se (0.5 mg/kg⋅BW) group, with 30 days feeding management. Our results suggested that Se treatment significantly suppressed the Cd-induced degenerative changes including cell necrosis, vacuolization, and atrophic neurons. In addition, Se decreased the contents of MDA and H2O2 and increased the activities of CAT, SOD, GST, GSH and GSH-Px, alleviating the imbalance of the redox system induced by Cd. Furthermore, Cd caused the up-regulation of the mRNA levels of autophagy-related genes (ATG3, ATG5, ATG7, ATG12 and p62), AMPK (Prkaa1, Prkaa2, Prkab1, Prkab2, Prkag2, Prkag3) and Nrf2 (Nrf2, HO-1 and NQO1) signaling pathway, and the expression levels of LC3II/LC3I, p-AMPK/AMPK, Beclin-1, Nrf2 and HO-1 proteins, which were alleviated by Se, indicated that Se inhibited Cd-induced autophagy and Nrf2 signaling pathway activation. In conclusion, our study found that Se antagonized Cd-induced oxidative stress and autophagy in the brain by generating crosstalk between AMPK and Nrf2 signaling pathway.Adverse outcome pathways (AOPs) and their networks are important tools for the development of mechanistically based non-animal testing approaches, such as in vitro and/or in silico assays, to assess toxicity induced by chemicals. In the present study, an AOP network connecting 14 linear AOPs related to human hepatotoxicity, currently available in the AOP-Wiki, was derived according to established criteria. The derived AOP network was characterised and analysed with regard to its structure and topological features. In-depth analysis of the AOP network showed that cell injury/death, oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction and accumulation of fatty acids are the most highly connected and central key events. Consequently, these key events may be considered as the rational and mechanistically anchored basis for selecting, developing and/optimising in vitro and/or in silico assays to predict hepatotoxicity induced by chemicals in view of animal-free hazard identification.
