Concentration ‐dependent effects of pro‐inflammatory cytokines on barrier function and tight junction protein expression in brain microvascular endothelial cells and the hypothermic and hyperthermic effects on tight junction protein expression
ConclusionsThe hypothermic suppression of TNF- α and IL-17 release may contribute to the maintenance of BBB function by ameliorating the decrease of TJP(s). In contrast, hyperthermia may decrease barrier function through a decrease in JAM-B expression. However, the contribution of changes in the JAM-B expression to the barrier function of BMVEC s remains to be clarified. (Source: Clinical and Experimental Neuroimmunology)

Monoclonal antibody treatment during pregnancy and lactation in women with multiple sclerosis or neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder
AbstractMultiple sclerosis (MS) and neuromyelitis optica (NMOSD) are more prevalent in women and mainly affecting young women, the majority of whom are of childbearing age. In addition, recent treatment algorithms suggest that patients who have poor prognostic factors are treated with highly effective disease-modifying drugs from the beginning. Monoclonal antibodies for MS or NMOSD are basically highly effective disease-modifying drugs. Therefore, young women with MS or NMOSD will have more opportunities to receive monoclonal antibody treatment than ever before. Currently, five monoclonal antibodies for MS or NMOSD are ava...

The impact of monoclonal antibody drugs on healthcare economics in the treatment of multiple sclerosis and neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders
AbstractThe launch of highly efficacious monoclonal antibody (mAb) drugs has profoundly changed the therapeutic strategy for multiple sclerosis and neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD). However, the newly developed mAb drugs, especially those used in treating NMOSD, are quite expensive, resulting in a significant medical and economic burden. Early use of these drugs is expected to reduce the frequency of relapse and the accumulation of disability, preserve the quality of life of patients, and improve their life expectancy. In selecting therapeutic drugs, it is necessary not only to consider the efficacy and safe...

Development of infections among patients with myasthenia gravis undergoing immunotherapy
ConclusionAge at onset of MG was a significant contributor to the development of infection. Generalized late-onset MG is the most susceptible to infection and should be carefully monitored during immunotherapy. (Source: Clinical and Experimental Neuroimmunology)

Disease perception impacts quality of life and fatigue in relapsing –remitting multiple sclerosis patients
ConclusionsOur study showed no association between disease duration and disease perception. Patients with less disease knowledge reported more problems in self-care and higher fatigue scores. Patients with the worst disease expectations were more anxious and reported a worse health status. More attention should be paid to perceived health status in MS patients.

AbstractMultiple sclerosis (MS) and Neuromyelitis optica (NMOSD) are more prevalent in women and mainly affecting young women, the majority of whom are of childbearing age. In addition, recent treatment algorithms suggest that patients have poor prognostic factors are treated with highly effective disease modifying drug (DMD) from the beginning. Anti monoclonal antibodies for MS or NMOSD are basically highly effective DMDs. Therefore, young women with MS or NMOSD will have more opportunities to receive anti monoclonal antibody treatment than ever before. Currently five anti monoclonal antibodies for MS or NMOSD are availab...
