Lysosome Evanescence Mediates Autophagic Flux Impairment in Glucose Imbalanced Environments

open access: yesThe Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Schwann cells (SCs) support axonal function and promote nerve regeneration. This study investigated how various glucose concentrations influence SC viability, oxidative stress, and autophagy, which contribute to diabetic neuropathy. RSC96 SCs were cultured under five glucose conditions (0, 2.5, 5.5, 50, or 100 mM) for 24, 48, and 72 h.

Unmyelinated nerve fibers in the human dental pulp express markers for myelinated fibers and show sodium channel accumulations

open access: yesBMC Neuroscience, 2012
Background The dental pulp is a common source of pain and is used to study peripheral inflammatory pain mechanisms. Results show most fibers are unmyelinated, yet recent findings in experimental animals suggest many pulpal afferents originate from fibers

Transverse tripolar spinal cord stimulation: Theoretical performance of a dual channel system [PDF]

open access: yes, 1996
A new approach to spinal cord stimulation is presented, by which several serious problems of conventional methods can be solved. A transverse tripolar electrode with a dual-channel voltage stimulator is evaluated theoretically by means of a volume ...

Gut microbiota regulates optic nerve fiber myelination

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology
IntroductionRecent evidence supports the hypothesis of an association between gut microbiota and the pathogenesis of retinal and eye diseases, suggesting the existence of a gut-eye axis. However, no data are available on the possible effect of the gut microbiota on the optic nerve fiber maturation and myelin development.MethodsWe investigated the ...

Outcomes and Innervation of Gracilis for Pediatric Facial Paralysis: A Systematic Review

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This systematic review compares innervation techniques for gracilis free muscle transfer in pediatric facial paralysis. Masseteric innervation produced the greatest commissure excursion, cross‐facial nerve grafting enabled spontaneous smiles, and dual innervation balanced both with high satisfaction and low complication rates across techniques ...

Structural reorganization of the sciatic, peroneal, and tibial nerves during osteosynthesis of lower leg fracture and after fracture consolidation (an experimental study)

open access: yesАнналы клинической и экспериментальной неврологии, 2017
The study purpose was to identify histological changes in the peripheral nerves and determine functional significance of subclinical neuropathy in experimental simulation of lower leg fractures.

Chronic thoracic hemisection spinal cord injury in adult rats induces a progressive decline in transmission from uninjured fibers to lumbar motoneurons [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Although most spinal cord injuries are anatomically incomplete, only limited functional recovery has been observed in people and rats with partial lesions.

Field Strength‐Dependent White Matter R1 and R2 Anisotropy of Phase‐Cycled Balanced Steady‐State Free Precession Relaxometry

open access: yesMagnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose To investigate how the relaxation rates (R1, R2) and asymmetry indices (AI), derived from phase‐cycled balanced steady‐state free precession (pc‐bSSFP) data, depend on the orientation of white matter (WM) fiber tracts at different field strengths.

A quantitative evaluation of gross versus histologic neuroma formation in a rabbit forelimb amputation model: potential implications for the operative treatment and study of neuromas

open access: yesJournal of Brachial Plexus and Peripheral Nerve Injury, 2011
Background Surgical treatment of neuromas involves excision of neuromas proximally to the level of grossly "normal" fascicles; however, proximal changes at the axonal level may have both functional and therapeutic implications with regard to amputated ...

Ataxia with oculomotor apraxia type 2: a clinical, pathologic, and genetic study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
BACKGROUND: Ataxia with oculomotor apraxia type 2 (AOA2) is characterized by onset between age 10 and 22 years, cerebellar atrophy, peripheral neuropathy, oculomotor apraxia (OMA), and elevated serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) levels. Recessive mutations in
