Serum S100B Protein and White Matter Changes in Schizophrenia before and after Medication
Brain Res Bull. 2024 Mar 12:110927. doi: 10.1016/j.brainresbull.2024.110927. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSchizophrenia patients have abnormalities in white matter (WM) integrity in brain regions. S100B has been shown to be a marker protein for glial cells. The atypical antipsychotics have neuroprotective effects on the brain. It is not clear whether antipsychotics can induce S100B changes and improve symptoms by protecting oligodendrocytes. To investigate WM and S100B changes and associations and determine the effect of quetiapine on WM and S100B in schizophrenia patients, we determined serum S100B levels with solid phas...

Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTRadiation therapy is a common treatment modality for patients with malignant tumors of the head and neck, chest and axilla. However, radiotherapy inevitably causes damage to normal tissues at the irradiated site, among which damage to the brachial plexus nerve(BP) is a serious adverse effect in patients receiving radiation therapy in the scapular or axillary regions, with clinical manifestations including abnormal sensation, neuropathic pain, and dyskinesia, etc. These adverse effects seriously reduce the living qualit...

Functional interaction of abnormal beta and gamma oscillations on bradykinesia in parkinsonian rats
Brain Res Bull. 2024 Mar 1:110911. doi: 10.1016/j.brainresbull.2024.110911. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBradykinesia, a debilitating symptom characterized by impaired movement initiation and reduced speed in Parkinson's disease (PD), is associated with abnormal oscillatory activity in the motor cortex-basal ganglia circuit. We investigated the interplay between abnormal beta and gamma oscillations in relation to bradykinesia in parkinsonian rats. Our findings showed reduced movement activities in parkinsonian rats, accompanied by enhanced high beta oscillations in the motor cortex, which are closely associated with movem...
