More importantly, the advent in the advances of computing power has enabled more advanced econometric techniques to be computed with ease. Econometrics uses statistical methods and real-world data to predict and establish specific trends within economics and other social sciences.
\r\n\r\n\tThis volume attempts to explore the practical aspects of econometrics to economics, and other social sciences that use econometric methods. This volume is expected to cover a broad range of topics that include but are not limited to spatial econometrics, time series, forecasting, and machine learning, This volume hopes to attract dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) models which are gaining prominence in applied macroeconomics. This proposed volume could serve as a reference for academicians, researchers, policy-makers, graduate students, and very abled undergraduate students who are seeking current research on the various applications of econometrics as used in research and to answer specific policy questions.

In viral infections, such as HIV-1 and COVID-19, macrophages assume either a more protective or a pathogenic role depending on their classification.
Macrophages are polarized by cytokine signaling from CD4 T cells into the M1 or the M2 type. M1 macrophages are classically activated by interferon-γ (INF-γ), whereas M2 macrophages are activated by interleukin-4 (IL-4) and IL-13 [1]. M1 macrophages have a role in combating infection, whereas M2 macrophages in supporting homeostasis. This inflammatory response, while beneficial against microbes and aggregated molecules, when hyper-activated can lead to tissue damage in the lungs, heart, and brain.
Under conditions of high microbial activity, M1 promote inflammation, synthesize nitric oxide, and induce cytokine production IL-6, IL-12 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF). Type M2 macrophages secrete arginase-I, IL-10 and TGF-β and other anti-inflammatory cytokines promoting wound healing but also contributing to tumor growth. M1 macrophages phagocytize microbes and initiate an adaptive immune response by T cells while M2 macrophages induce collagen repair to maintain tissue repair [1].
The roles of M1 macrophages in opposing the disease and the M2 macrophages in promoting homeostasis, while evident in infectious diseases, is less evident in neurodegenerative diseases. Macrophages of AD patients were classified according to the ratio of cluster of differentiation (CD) surface markers: CD54+ CD80/CD163+ CD206 [2] as follows: the inflammatory M1 macrophage type has the ratio > 4, the anti-inflammatory M2 type has a ratio < 1. Both M1 and M2 are associated with progression of dementia. In AD patients, however, the intermediate M1M2 phenotype with a ratio between 1 and 4 is a pro-resolution type promoting homeostasis and protection against dementia. Infection or other stress can cause an imbalance in the expression of these two macrophage types, as seen by others [3].
Macrophages were first appreciated in tuberculosis, where the dual role of macrophages in containing vs. replicating
In recent years, the role of macrophages in neurodegenerative diseases, Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), has been appreciated as a result of immunochemical demonstration of central nervous system (CNS) invasion by peripheral blood monocyte/macrophages (MM) in AD patients [5]. Macrophage targets in AD are amyloid-beta (Aβ) and P-tau, while in ALS macrophage targets are aggregated superoxide dismutase (SOD-1) and microbial nucleic acids. Autologous DNA released into the cytoplasm could be a target in the cGAS-STING pathway [6].
This chapter will discuss the integral role and modulation of macrophage role in the therapy of neurodegenerative and infectious diseases. The natural substances polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), circuminoids, vitamin D, and polyphenols improve macrophage transcriptome and functions for brain clearance in neurological diseases, but their mechanisms depend on many variables that are under study. The effects of natural substances on macrophage transcriptome and clearance of Aβ and P-tau could potentiate therapeutic outcome of monocl0nal antibodies, which increase phagocytosis but not degradation or export of Aβ and P-tau.
In AD patients, microglia are the first responders to accumulation of Aβ in the brain, which attract monocyte/macrophages (MM) from the blood into the CNS by chemokines, in particular CCL5 (RANTES) [7]. In non-demented individuals, post-mortem immunochemistry and results from a blood-brain barrier (BBB) model suggest that MM migrate across BBB in both directions, clear Aβ in plaques, degrade or export Aβ from the brain without disruption of BBB or accumulation of macrophages around vessels [5, 8], and deposit Aβ into cervical nodes or further downstream [9]. MM of healthy subjects with the pro-resolution M1M2 phenotype effectively upload Aβ into endosomes, fuse endosomes with lysosomes, and degrade Aβ by lysosomal enzymes. MM of AD patients are defective in internalization and degradation of Aβ in endosomes [8].
In the AD brain, MM immigrate into CNS through disrupted tight junctions between endothelial cells. In addition, opening of tight junctions in the blood-brain barrier (BBB) permits brain entry of fibrin and components of the complement. In the brain parenchyma, AD macrophages invade the plaques but upload Aβ only on its cell surface, do not transport Aβ into endosomes and fail to degrade Aβ. Clearance of individual Aβ plaques by macrophages is functionally stochastic, thus some plaques are not fully cleared [5]. After uploading Aβ, MM migrate to vessels but fail to emigrate across BBB, suffer apoptosis and release Aβ into vessels, which develop cerebro-vascular angiopathy (CAA) (Figure 1) [10].
Macrophage pathway in the AD brain. Created with
Natural substances, prominently PUFA, have a long history in prevention of AD in the patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). PUFA supplementation had positive cognitive effects in MCI patients, but only in those with very mild MCI [11]. A large controlled clinical trial of PUFA supplementation, however, did not slow the rate of cognitive and functional decline in patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer disease [12].
Nevertheless, proven effects of PUFA on macrophage transcriptome and functions designate PUFA for immunotherapeutic studies controlled for baseline immune phenotype, APO E genotype, stage of disease, diet and lifestyle using a high-quality omega-fatty acid preparation protected against oxidation [2]. In an uncontrolled study of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) patients supplemented by the omega-3 fatty acid drink Smartfish, macrophage phenotype changed from either a highly inflammatory M1 or a very low non-inflammatory M2 to the desired pro-resolution M1/M2 (Table 1) [2]. Importantly, in this study, PUFA supplementation improved the cognitive status of MCI/AD patients for 4–17 months and protected against dementia for 4.5 years in certain patients [13]. In vivo supplementation and in vitro stimulation by the Smartfish drink stimulated the pro-resolution M1/M2 macrophage type with increased phagocytosis and energy [14].

A clinical study of supplementation with a high dose of vitamin B complex, including vitamins B6 (pyridoxine), B9 (folic acid), and B12 (cobalamin), showed a reduction in the rate of brain atrophy in MCI patients with elevated total homocysteine [15].
AD brain cells and macrophages lack energy due to oxidative damage and nitrosylation by reactive oxygen species (ROS) of the glycolytic enzyme transcripts GAPDH
The anti-inflammatory molecule bisdemethoxycurcumin up regulated
RNA-seq analysis of single blood cell types in PUFA-supplemented MCI patients showed up-regulation of the transcripts for glycolysis, tricarboxylic acid cycle, OX-PHOS, nicotinamide dinucleotide (NAD+) synthesis in monocytes, neutrophils, regulatory T cells, memory CD4 and CD8 T cells, and NK cells, but the most consistent effects across the whole spectrum were in monocytes/macrophages (MM). Importantly, the supplementation showed that PUFA provide energy for immune clearance of the brain throughout the diurnal cycle and even in hypo- or hyper-glycemia [13]. Both hypo- and hyper-glycemic glucose concentrations in the medium of macrophages
The approval of aducanumab in 2021 increased enthusiasm for immune therapy by monoclonal antibodies. Aducanumab cleared both soluble oligomers and aggregated Aβ in a dose- and time-dependent fashion according to amyloid positron emission tomography (PET) imaging and slowed disease progression [18]. Both aducanumab and another monoclonal antibody ponezumab, however, have been associated with cerebro-vascular amyloid angiopathy (CAA) in models and with amyloid-related imaging abnormalities (ARIA) in patients [19]. Although the exact mechanisms of CAA related to aducanumab are not known due to the lack of pathological and biochemical studies, this complication appears to be due to macrophage shuttling Aβ from plaques to vessels, failure of macrophages in Aβ degradation and macrophage apoptosis with a release of Aβ into CAA vessels [10]. As PUFA up regulate the transcription of Aβ degradation enzymes, PUFA supplementation could be synergistic with the monoclonal antibody therapy.
In amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), macrophages target aggregated superoxide dismutase (SOD-1) [20] and may be targeting free autologous DNA in the cytoplasm.
Immunopathological studies of sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (sALS) patients demonstrated an inflammatory attack by macrophages, cytotoxic T cells, NK and mast cells on motor neurons in the spinal cord [21, 22]. The attack includes gray matter and white matter of the spinal cord as well as peripheral nerves. The invading macrophages are inflammatory expressing cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), IL-6 and TNF-α, and they attack both caspase-positive and caspase-negative neurons. In addition, cytotoxic CD8 T cells and NK cells participate in the autoimmune attack expressing the cytotoxic enzymes granzymes.
Aggregated superoxide dismutase-1 (SOD-1) stimulates peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) of sALS patients inducing IL-1, IL6, and IL23. These cytokines enhance production of the auto-immune pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-17A, which is increased in the serum and spinal cord of ALS patients [23]. The induction of inflammatory pathology in sALS by SOD-1 in aggregated form is an example that in neurodegenerative diseases the aggregated state of the putative culprits SOD-1 in ALS and amyloid-β and P-tau in Alzheimer’s disease is sufficient for induction of inflammatory neuropathology.
Trojan transport is the main path for virus penetration the blood-brain barrier in HIV-1 encephalitis. In addition, HIV-1 penetrates across coronary endothelia by transcytosis or by a paracellular route through disrupted tight junction protein ZO-1 [24].
Infiltration of target organs by inflammatory macrophages has a critical role in the progression of HIV-1 encephalitis and HIV-1 myocarditis. Other target organs in AIDS, the liver and the kidneys, are also infiltrated by macr0phages. In patients with HIV-1 encephalitis, cognitive impairment is proportionate to the number of macrophages infiltrating the brain [25]. In a study of postmortem heart tissues from 15 AIDS patients, the failing hearts showed significantly higher infiltration in the left ventricular myocardium by COX-2-positive and iNOS-positive macrophages compared to the functioning hearts. In the hearts with HIV-1 myocarditis, productive infection was exclusively in infiltrating macrophages and T cells, not in cardiomyocytes [26]. Significant infiltration of the failing heart by COX-2-positive macrophages (demonstrated using an antigen-retrieval technique) and production of inflammatory cytokines and mediators, such as NO, quinolinic acid, free radicals, is considered as the main mechanism of heart failure in HIV-1 myocarditis [26].
The recent epidemic of SARS-CoV-2 viral infection is associated with severe complications in subjects with risk factors, including older age, obesity, diabetes, renal failure; cancer; chronic obstructive pulmonary disease from smoking; and immunosuppressive conditions. In contrast, SARS-CoV-2 infected subjects without risk factors may suffer only mild pulmonary damage [27].
SARS-CoV-2 and previous coronaviruses responsible for severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and the Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) induce inflammatory activation of monocytes/macrophages (MM). Patients with a low expression of interferon–α/β/γ in macrophages may suffer severe pulmonary damage by lung infiltration with inflammatory MM in a cytokine release syndrome (CRS), a.k.a. cytokine storm. MM are attracted into the lungs by chemokines produced by lung epithelia and fibroblasts. MM are activated by GM-CSF and IL-6, therefore, a blockade with IL-6 receptor antibody (tocilizumab, ActemraR) is used in presence of a high inflammation [27]. CRS is related to the release of IL-1, IL-6 and nitric oxide (NO) from monocyte/macrophages, as shown in vitro and in an animal model by depletion of macrophages. CRS is similar to macrophage activation syndrome (MAS), a complication of several autoimmune diseases, in which well-differentiated macrophages show uncontrolled proliferation. CRS is also a complication of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) therapy of B cell malignancies, in which macrophages produce IL-6, IL-1 and NO and where IL-1 blockade is therapeutic. COVID 19 pneumonia may be complicated by disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), therefore anticoagulation with enoxaparin (LovenoxR) is routinely used in severe CoV2 infections.
In COVID-19 pneumonia, macrophages have a dual role with a beneficial anti-viral role and a detrimental role through excessive release of inflammatory cytokines [28]. The lung has two types of macrophages, interstitial and alveolar macrophages. The alveolar macrophages with M1 type are pivotal in defense against pathogens by phagocytosis of microbes, enhancement of development of cytotoxic T cells and type I interferon production. The M2 type alveolar macrophages dampen the inflammation and repair the damage in association with other immune tissue cells. Macrophages infected by CoV2, however, accumulate lipid droplets in association with virus replication [29].
Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) is a cell receptor for SARS and CoV-2 on lung epithelial cells. SARS-CoV-2 can infect monocytes and macrophages through ACE2-dependent and ACE2-independent pathways [27]. A second study with similar findings detected ACE2-expressing CD68+ and CD169+ macrophages containing SARS-CoV-2 nucleoprotein antigens in the sinuses of the lymph nodes of COVID-19 patients. These infected macrophages up regulated the pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-6 [30] and IL-1B [31]. The increased production of these cytokines by infected monocytes and macrophages induces hyper-inflammation and the onset of cytokine storm, leading to excess tissue damage and the potential harm of other vital organs in addition to the lungs (Figure 2) [27]. In addition, a subset of macrophages isolated from Covid-19 patients have been found to express genes that promote fibrosis generation and tissue repair. Therefore, the infection of infiltrating macrophages might not only be detrimental because of the promotion of acute inflammation, but also because of fibrotic complications that may arise and that have been observed in patients under mechanical ventilation. Long-term increases in the pro-inflammatory M1 type macrophages are associated with elevated reactive oxygen species (ROS) [32], which can produce harmful long-term side effects.

Similar to in COVID-19 infections, macrophages play a dual role in tuberculosis. Macrophages permissive for
M1 and M2 macrophages are distinguished by their activation type. M1 cells are activated by the T helper type 1 (Th1) cells. These cells pertain to cell mediated immune responses and emit interleukin-2 (IL-2), IFN-γ, and lymphotoxins [33]. Th1 cells lead to an increased M1 activation due to the production of IFN-y. Nitric oxide production is stimulated by the Th1 activation, rather than T helper type 2 (Th2) cells [34]. Th2 cells cause the activation of M2 macrophages. These cells are responsible for the stimulation of humoral immunity and secrete interleukin-4 (IL-4), interleukin-5 (IL-5), and interleukin-10 (IL-10). Th2 responses are a result of the production of ornithine which activates the M2 response allowing for tissue repair [1]. In tuberculosis, the intersection of Th1 and Th2 activation of M1 and M2 respectively leads to the immunity against pathogens. Along with the production of IFN-y, immunoglobulin A (Ig-A) is necessary for defense against tuberculosis (Table 2) [35].

Type 1 and type 2 macrophage distinction.
Alveolar macrophages (AM) and dendritic cells phagocytize Mtb in the alveolar space in the lungs. Mtb is transmitted by macrophages to other organs via lymph nodes and blood vessels [36]. Alveolar macrophages present Mtb antigens to the adaptive immune cells to initiate an immune response. Subsequently, granulomas are formed because of the early inflammatory response caused by the AM [37]. Granulomas contain a variety of immune cells in order to contain the antigen. Some of the immune cells present in granulomas include foamy macrophages, epithelioid cells, neutrophils, and dendritic cells.
The phenotype of macrophages infiltrating the lesions in AD, ALS, HIV-1 myocarditis and encephalitis should be determined first, as it is the initial information necessary for analyzing macrophage role in each disease. M1 phenotype should be confirmed by staining of NOS, COX-2, TNF alpha, IL1, and IL-6 on macrophages.
Preliminary data suggest the following: (a) the pro-inflammatory M1 macrophage phenotype = CD54 + CD80/CD163 + CD206 > 4.0 is associated with an increased macrophage effector function in viral infections, but also with organ damage best known in HIV-1 myocarditis; b) the pro-resolution phenotype M1/M2 phenotype CD54 + CD80/CD163 + CD206 = in AD is associated with a beneficial role of macrophages in AD. The natural substances polyunsaturated fatty acids, vitamins B and D, energy molecules (carnitine), and flavonoids (resveratrol) may have individual health effects by improving macrophage transcriptome and macrophage pro-resolution type for brain clearance in AD, but the effects are complex and depend on many variables. In ALS patients, the M1/M2 phenotype promoted by fatty acids could be beneficial, but the data in human patients are not yet available.

MRI is commonly used once treating brain, prostate cancers, ankle and foot. The Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) images are usually liable to suffer from noises such as Gaussian noise, salt and pepper noise and speckle noise. So getting of brain image with accuracy is very extremely task. An accurate brain image is very necessary for further diagnosis process. During this chapter, a median filter algorithm will be modified. Gaussian noise and Salt and pepper noise will be added to MRI image. A proposed Median filter (MF), Adaptive Median filter (AMF) and Adaptive Wiener filter (AWF) will be implemented. The filters will be used to remove the additive noises present in the MRI images. The noise density will be added gradually to MRI image to compare performance of the filters evaluation. The performance of these filters will be compared exploitation the applied mathematics parameter Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR).",book:{id:"6144",slug:"high-resolution-neuroimaging-basic-physical-principles-and-clinical-applications",title:"High-Resolution Neuroimaging",fullTitle:"High-Resolution Neuroimaging - Basic Physical Principles and Clinical Applications"},signatures:"Hanafy M.

Hence, age-related testosterone deficiency, known as late-onset hypogonadism (LOH), is considered a risk factor for erectile dysfunction (ED). This chapter summarizes relevant basic research reports examining the effects of testosterone on erectile function. Testosterone affects several organs and is especially active on the erectile tissue. The mechanism of testosterone deficiency effects on erectile function and the results of testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) have been well studied. Testosterone affects nitric oxide (NO) production and phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE-5) expression in the corpus cavernosum through molecular pathways, preserves smooth muscle contractility by regulating both contraction and relaxation, and maintains the structure of the corpus cavernosum. Interestingly, testosterone deficiency has relationship to neurological diseases, which leads to ED. Testosterone replacement therapy is widely used to treat patients with testosterone deficiency; however, this treatment might also induce some problems. Basic research suggests that PDE-5 inhibitors, L-citrulline, and/or resveratrol therapy might be effective therapeutic options for testosterone deficiency-induced ED.

For instance, several studies showed that the visual system is subject to neuroplasticity since the neurons’ firing changes according to stimulus properties. This dynamic information processing might be supported by a network reorganization. Since antidepressants influence neurotransmission, they can be used to explore synaptic plasticity sustaining cortical map reorganization. To this goal, we investigated in the primary visual cortex (V1 of mouse and cat), the impact of ketamine on neuroplasticity through changes in neuronal orientation selectivity and the functional connectivity between V1 cells, using cross correlation analyses. We found that ketamine affects cortical orientation selectivity and alters the functional connectivity within an assembly.

They act as both neuromediators and metabolites in nervous tissue. Glycine and glutamic acid (glutamate) are prominent examples. These amino acids are agonists of inhibitory and excitatory membrane receptors, respectively. Moreover, they play essential roles in metabolic pathways and energy transformation in neurons and astrocytes. Despite their obvious effects on the brain, their potential role in therapeutic methods remains uncertain in clinical practice. In the current chapter, a comparison of the crosstalk between these two systems, which are responsible for excitation and inhibition in neurons, is presented. The interactions are discussed at the metabolic, receptor, and transport levels. Reaction-diffusion and a convectional flow into the interstitial fluid create a balanced distribution of glycine and glutamate. Indeed, the neurons’ final physiological state is a result of a balance between the excitatory and inhibitory influences. However, changes to the glycine and/or glutamate pools under pathological conditions can alter the state of nervous tissue.
