Klotho controls the brain–immune system interface in the choroid plexus

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2018
Significance Global depletion of klotho accelerates aging, whereas klotho overexpression counteracts aging-related impairments. Why klotho is expressed at much higher levels in the choroid plexus than in other brain regions is unknown.

Delayed clearance of cerebrospinal fluid tracer from choroid plexus in idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus

Journal of Cerebral Blood Flow and Metabolism, 2019
Impaired clearance of amyloid-β from choroid plexus is one proposed mechanism behind amyloid deposition in Alzheimer's disease. The present study examined whether clearance from choroid plexus of a cerebrospinal fluid tracer, serving as a surrogate ...

Morphology of the murine choroid plexus: Attachment regions and spatial relation to the subarachnoid space

Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2022
The choroid plexus has recently been identified as a possible migration route for peripheral immune cells into the central nervous system. For future investigation of this route, profound knowledge of the morphology of the murine choroid plexus is a ...

New Insights Into Microaneurysms in the Deep Capillary Plexus Detected by Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography in Diabetic Macular Edema.

Investigative Ophthalmology and Visual Science, 2016
PURPOSE To study the association between the distributions of microaneurysms detected by en face optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) and diabetic macular edema (DME). METHODS The study design was a retrospective chart review of 27 patients (

Choroid plexus epithelium and its role in neurological diseases

Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2022
Choroid plexus epithelial cells can secrete cerebrospinal fluid into the ventricles, serving as the major structural basis of the selective barrier between the neurological system and blood in the brain.

Comparative study of different techniques used in interscalene brachial plexus block in adult upper limb surgeries

Al-Azhar Assiut Medical Journal
Background and aim Brachial plexus block remains a practical alternative to general anesthesia for significant surgery on the upper limb. It offers a superior quality of analgesia and prevents the common adverse effects related to general anesthesia.

Intraoperative Assessment of Nerve Traction Injury in Obstetric Brachial Plexus Palsy

Journal of Brachial Plexus and Peripheral Nerve Injury
We present an easy classification for nerve lesions observed in reconstructive surgery for obstetric brachial plexus palsy, performed through a supraclavicular approach and systematic exposure of nerve roots and trunks.

The choroid plexus-cerebrospinal fluid interface in Alzheimer's disease: more than just a barrier

Neural Regeneration Research, 2016
The choroid plexus is a complex structure which hangs inside the ventricles of the brain and consists mainly of choroid plexus epithelial (CPE) cells surrounding fenestrated capillaries.

Passage through the carotid sheath: An alternative path to the pre-spinal route for direct repair of contralateral C7 to the lower trunk in total brachial plexus root avulsion injury

Indian Journal of Plastic Surgery, 2016
Context: In surgical management of global brachial plexus injuries, direct repair of contralateral C7 (cC7) to the anterior division of the lower trunk, can produce good extrinsic finger flexion.
