Biomarkers of Rehabilitation Therapy Vary according to Stroke Severity by Erin Burke Quinlan, Lucy Dodakian, Jill See, Alison McKenzie, Jill Campbell Stewart, Steven C. Cramer

“…However, when also considering the interaction with baseline motor status, treatment-induced motor gains were significantly related to change in three functional connectivity measures: ipsilesional motor cortex connectivity with (1) contralesional motor cortex (p=0.003), (2) contralesional dorsal premotor cortex (p=0.005), and (3) ipsilesional dorsal premotor cortex (p=0.004). …”

Effects of Neural Stem Cells combine with Nerve Growth Factor Nanoparticles Transplantation in Alzheimer's Disease Transgenic Mice by Qing ZHU, Shuai SHAO, Nan HU, Yan CHEN

“…Thioflavine-T staining was used to detect the numbers of Aβ plaques in the hippocampus and cortex.Results:①After transplantation for four weeks, EGFP-positive NSC survived in the brain, migrated extensively to corpus callosum, cortex and deep hippocampus, and differentiated into neurons and glial cells, NSC in the combined group survived more than those in the NSC transplant group and showed more complex synaptic morphology.②The number of ChAT neurons in the basal forebrain of the NSC transplant group and the combined group increased significantly(<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05), compared with the NSC transplant group, the gene expression of ChAT and Lhx8 in the combined group were increased significantly(<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05).③The number of Aβ plaques in hippocampus and cortex of the NSC transplant group and the combined group didn't decreased significantly(<italic>P</italic>&gt;0.05).Conclusion:NSC combined with NGF nanoparticles transplantation could indirectly protect cholinergic neurons in the basal forebrain and the survival and maturation of transplanted NSC, and promote the gene expression of ChAT and Lhx8 in the basal forebrain, but could not reduce the number of Aβ plaques in the hippocampus and cortex.…”
