Specifically, the comet assay enables quantification of DNA breaks based on the increased migration of damaged DNA through agarose during electrophoresis. Here, we developed a modified comet assay and show that intact HepG2 spheroids cultured in microwells can be electrophoresed to reveal the extent of DNA damage following exposure to inflammatory chemicals (H2O2 and SIN-1). With this SpheroidChip analysis method, we detected a dose-dependent increase in DNA damage and observed rapid repair of H2O2-induced DNA damage. In summary, we utilized an agarose microarray to condense what had required an entire 96-well plate into a single well, enabling analysis techniques that were cumbersome or impossible under conditions of a single spheroid per well of a 96-well plate.Alterations in brain function in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients with diphasic dyskinesia have not been investigated. We aimed to explore the alterations in regional brain function. Each of 53 levodopa (LD)-treated PD patients had two resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) scans in the same morning, before and after taking LD. The regional homogeneity (ReHo) approach was used to reveal local synchronization changes. Two-way factorial repeated measures analysis of covariance, with group as a between-subject factor and LD effect as a within-subject factor, was performed to explore the two main effects and interaction. Interactive analysis was used to show outcomes that combined disease status and LD effect. Spearman's correlations were used to detect associations between interactive brain regions and severity of dyskinetic symptoms, assessed by the Unified Dyskinesia Rating Scale (UDyRS) scores, along with moderation analyses. There was no significant difference in the main group effect analysis. Significantly different clusters obtained from m
