Induced sensorimotor brain plasticity controls pain in phantom limb patients
Nature Communications, 2016 Pain in a phantom limb after limb deafferentation may be due to maladaptive sensorimotor representation. Here the authors find that sensorimotor plasticity induced by BMI training with the phantom hand, contrary to expectation, increased pain while ...

Experimental neck muscle pain impairs standing balance in humans [PDF]
Experimental Brain Research 192, 4 (2009) 723-9, 2009 Impaired postural control has been reported in patients with chronic neck pain of both traumatic and non-traumatic etiologies, but whether painful stimulation of neck muscle per se can affect balance control during quiet standing in humans remains unclear.

Targeted metabolomics reveals novel diagnostic biomarkers for colorectal cancer
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.This study employed targeted metabolomic profiling to identify 302 distinct metabolites present in platelet‐rich plasma (PRP), revealing aberrant metabolic profiles amongst individuals diagnosed with colorectal cancer (CRC). Compared to carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and cancer antigen 19‐9 (CA199), our metabolite panel showed improved sensitivity ...

Preliminary Evidence for Training-Induced Changes of Morphology and Phantom Limb Pain
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2017 The aim of this study was to investigate whether a special prosthetic training in phantom limb pain patients aimed at increasing the functional use of the prosthesis leads to neural morphological plasticity of brain structures and a reduction in phantom ...

HDAC4 regulates apoptosis in Acan‐CreERT2;HDAC4d/d mice with osteoarthritis by downregulating ATF4
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Using the AcanCreERT2;HDAC4fl/fl genetic mouse model, we further investigated the role of histone deacetylase 4 (HDAC4) in chondrocyte apoptosis. We found that knocking down HDAC4 may be associated with chondrocyte apoptosis by upregulating the activating transcription factor 4 (ATF4)/CAAT/enhancer binding protein homologous (CHOP) signaling pathway ...

Neurology, 2015 The prevalence of phantom limb pain is reported to be as high as 85%. In most amputees, the frequency and intensity of pain attacks decrease over the years; however, approximately 5-10% of amputees continue to have severe phantom limb pain. Unfortunately, the current treatment for chronic phantom limb pain is far from satisfactory.

Establishment and biological characterization of radioresistant colorectal cancer cell lines
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Under ionizing radiation exposure, radiation‐sensitive cancer cells exhibit oxidative stress and DNA damage, while radiation‐resistant cancer cells exhibit strong antioxidant properties and DNA damage repair. Radiotherapy resistance is a major cause of recurrence and metastasis in colorectal cancer (CRC).

Frontiers in Neurology, 2019 Background: After amputation, phantom limb pain may be produced by the multisensory processes underling the experience of an intact body. Clinical evidence has shown that cold caloric vestibular stimulation may modify the perception of phantom limb pain.

Thermomechanical Assessment of Breast Tumor Subjected to Focused Ultrasound and Interstitial Laser Heating [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 During laser and ultrasound thermotherapy it is always desirable to have a precise necrosis of deeply seated tumor preserving the adjoining healthy tissue with minimum thermally induced nociceptive pain sensation to the patient. The aim of the present study is to determine the effects of nanoparticle mixed tissues under pulsed and continuous heating ...
