Plasma Brain-derived Neurotrophic Factor in Hemodialysis Patients

International Journal of Medical Sciences, 2012
Objective: Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a neurotrophin which modulates neuronal survival and proliferation. Recently, plasma BDNF is associated with inflammatory conditions.

Delivery Routes and Anesthesia Affect Cord Blood NGF, BDNF, and Neonatal Outcomes

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
Nerve growth factor (NGF) and brain‐derived neurotrophin (BDNF) play a role in brain maturation. Cord blood values do not differ between vaginal delivery and CS cases. In CS cases with spinal anesthesia, high BDNF and NGF values were associated with high cord blood pH and APGAR scores.

From regulatory mechanisms to cutting‐edge applications: Research progress of ultrasound, electrical, magnetic, and optical stimulation in neural modulation

Journal of Intelligent Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract In recent years, the clinical treatment and symptom management of neurological disorders have faced significant challenges due to the high complexity of the nervous system's structure and function. Against this backdrop, physical stimulation techniques have emerged as a vital complementary approach to traditional pharmacological treatments and

Neuroprotective effects of quercetin in animal models of neurodegenerative diseases: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease are characterized by progressive neuronal loss driven by oxidative stress and inflammation. Quercetin, a dietary flavonoid with established antioxidant and anti‐inflammatory properties, has emerged as a potential neuroprotective agent.

Pulsed Electromagnetic Fields: A Novel Attractive Therapeutic Opportunity for Neuroprotection After Acute Cerebral Ischemia

Neuromodulation: Technology at the Neural Interface, EarlyView., 2021
Abstract Objectives Acute cerebral ischemia is characterized by several pathological processes evolving during time, which contribute to the final tissue damage. Secondary processes, such as prolonged inflammatory response, impaired mitochondrial function and oxidative stress, are responsible for the progression of brain injury to the peri‐infarct area,

Proteomic Signatures of Ectopic Fat Distribution: Tissue‐Specific Drivers and Clinical Implications

Med Research, EarlyView.
Integration of plasma proteomics and multi‐organ MRI in 666 UK Biobank participants, combined with a knockoff‐based causal inference and machine learning framework, reveals organ‐specific drivers of ectopic fat: PLA2G1B (pancreas), ERBB2/IGFBP2 (liver), CA14 (muscle), and NCAM2/TNFRSF10B (pericardium). These drivers engage distinct pathways (e.g., PI3K‐

A Randomized, Sham‐Controlled Trial of Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Targeting M1 and S2 in Central Poststroke Pain: A Pilot Trial

Neuromodulation: Technology at the Neural Interface, EarlyView., 2021
Abstract Objectives Central poststroke pain (CPSP), a neuropathic pain condition, is difficult to treat. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) targeted to the primary motor cortex (M1) can alleviate the condition, but not all patients respond. We aimed to assess a promising alternative rTMS target, the secondary somatosensory cortex (S2),

A Phase 1 Study of Convection‐Enhanced Delivery of Intraputaminal AAV2‐GDNF in Advanced Parkinson's Disease

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder. Neurotrophic therapeutic approaches have been limited in part by incomplete delivery to the putamen. We developed image‐guided convection‐enhanced delivery with real‐time monitoring to improve intraputaminal distribution of neurotrophic gene therapy. Objectives To

Administration of Schwann Cell‐Like Cells Differentiated From Tonsil‐Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells Promotes Peripheral Nerve Regeneration by Inducing Macrophage Polarization in a Chronic Constriction Injury Model

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
TMSC‐SCs were mixed with fibrin adhesive and administered into the sciatic nerve of CCI rats, and nerve conduction studies and histopathological observations confirmed the regeneration of the peripheral nerve and gastrocnemius muscle. In addition, the expression of M1 and M2 macrophage markers was observed after the administration of TMSC‐SCs. ABSTRACT
