Clinical and Imaging Prognosis in Patients with Delayed Encephalopathy after Acute Carbon Monoxide Poisoning by Jinzhi Liu, Zhihua Si, Jie Liu, Yan Lin, Jing Yuan, Shan Xu, Yan He, Tao Zhang, Aihua Wang

“…MRI revealed lesions in the bilateral cerebral white matter and/or basal ganglia. Except for the pathologically confirmed DEACMP, epileptic seizure, hemiplegia, and vegetative state, the remaining symptoms had been improved, especially the cognitive impairment, which had been decreased from 95% to 25% and psychiatric symptoms also decreased from 95% to 55% at the 6-month follow-up. …”

A realistic human head phantom for electromagnetic detection of brain diseases by Zelin Bai, Diyou Chen, Ke Ma, Gui Jin, Jinlong Qiu, Quanquan Li, Haocheng Li, Mingsheng Chen

“…This article combines high-precision computed tomography (CT) images and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images to establish an electromagnetic numerical model of the human head with a real anatomical structure. (1) It had Asian characteristics and encompassed 14 different structures, including skin, muscles, cranial bones, cerebrospinal fluid, cerebral veins, cerebral arteries, gray matter, white matter of the brain, basal ganglia, thalamus, cerebellum, brainstem, eyeballs, and vertebrae. (2) The model used a combination of 0.625 mm-resolution CT and 1 mm-resolution MRI image data for reconstruction, with a smooth surface and high accuracy. (3) Within the simulation environment, this model enabled the generation of various brain disease scenarios, such as different types and degrees of cerebral hemorrhage and cerebral ischemia. …”

Pediatric autoimmune neuropsychiatric disorders associated with streptococcal infections and gut microbiota composition: what do we know? by Veronica Maria Tagi, Veronica Maria Tagi, Martina Tosi, Martina Tosi, Ilenia Pia Greco, Eliana Stucchi, Elvira Verduci, Elvira Verduci, Gianvincenzo Zuccotti, Gianvincenzo Zuccotti

“…Post-streptococcal autoimmune neuropsychiatric disorders (PANDAS) are a group of pathological condition characterized by sudden-onset obsessive-compulsive and tic disorders following beta-hemolytic Streptococcus group A (GAS) infection, hypothesized to be caused by autoimmune mechanisms targeting the basal ganglia. Scant literature is available regarding the microbiota composition in children with PANDAS, however few studies support the hypothesis that streptococcal infections may alter gut microbiota composition in these patients, leading to chronic inflammation that may impact the brain function and behavior. …”

Efficacy of Surgery Combined with Autologous Bone Marrow Stromal Cell Transplantation for Treatment of Intracerebral Hemorrhage by Jianxin Zhu, Yilei Xiao, Zhongmin Li, Fabin Han, Taiwu Xiao, Zhiti Zhang, Fengyang Geng

“…For transplantation group, BMSCs were injected into the perihemorrhage area in the base ganglia through an intracranial drainage tube 5.5 (3.01–6.89) days after surgery, followed by a second injection into the subarachnoid space through lumbar puncture 4 weeks later. …”

Lower urinary dysfunction as a long-term effect of childhood vincristine treatment, with potential influences by sex and dose by Nao Iguchi, Ali Teimouri, Duncan T. Wilcox, Anna P. Malykhina, Nicholas G. Cost

“…Significant changes in gene expression levels associated with neuroinflammation and nociception were observed in both the bladder and lumbosacral dorsal root ganglia (Ls-DRG) of the VCR group. These findings suggest that VCR exposure during childhood, particularly in males, triggers neuroimmune responses in the bladder and Ls-DRG, amplifying responsiveness to neurotransmitters in the bladder, thereby contributing to LUT dysfunction characterized by a mixed bladder phenotype as a late effect during survivorship.…”

Acupuncture for Parkinson’s Disease: Efficacy Evaluation and Mechanisms in the Dopaminergic Neural Circuit by Yadan Zhao, Zichen Zhang, Siru Qin, Wen Fan, Wei Li, Jingyi Liu, Songtao Wang, Zhifang Xu, Meidan Zhao

“…It has also been found that acupuncture can protect dopaminergic neurons from degeneration via antioxidative stress, anti-inflammatory, and antiapoptotic pathways as well as modulating the neurotransmitter balance in the basal ganglia circuit. Here, we review current studies and reflect on the potential of acupuncture as a novel and effective treatment strategy for PD. …”
