Erectile Dysfunction in Individuals with Neurologic Disability: A Hospital-based Cross-sectional Study
Conclusion: The occurence of erectile dysfunction is significantly more prevalent among neurologically disabled men, particularly those with lesions below S2–S4, than among men without neurologic disability. Considering the prevalence of erectile dysfunction among neurologically disabled men, sexual functioning should be regularly evaluated during acute and long-term rehabilitation, and any existing sexual dysfunction should be addressed in the treatment plan. Introduction Penile erection is a neurovascular event characterized by the dilation of arteries that cause the corpora cavernosa and corpora spongiosum of the peni...

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ): A master gatekeeper in CNS injury and repair
We describe its structure and function and identify the genes that it targets. PPARγ regulation of inflammation, metabolism, cell fate (proliferation/differentiation/maturation/survival), and many other processes also has relevance to other neurological diseases. Therefore, PPARγ is an attractive target for therapies against a number of progressive neurological disorders.

DPP-4 inhibitors promote proliferation and migration of rat brain microvascular endothelial cells under hypoxic/high-glucose conditions, potentially through the SIRT1/HIF-1/VEGF pathway.
CONCLUSIONS: The protection of rBMVECs from hypoxia/high-glucose induced impairment by DPP-4 inhibitors may be mediated by the SIRT1/HIF-1α/VEGF pathway. PMID: 30136405 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

The role of ASPECTs in patient selection for endovascular therapy – CTA source images versus noncontrast CT
In conclusion, CTA-SI ASPECTs in patient selection for ET seems to be more useful than NCCT ASPECTs. However, both scoring modalities were not found to be independent predictors of good outcome. Outcomes are changeable for the younger population who could continue their lives with mild or no deficits despite having a relatively low initial ASPECTs.

Remote ischemic conditioning reduced cerebral ischemic injury by modulating inflammatory responses and ERK activity in type 2 diabetic mice
This study investigated whether RIPreC and RIPostC exerted neuroprotection against cerebral ischemic injury in type 2 diabetic mice. RIPreC (24 h before ischemia) and RIPostC (immediately after reperfusion) were performed in an ischemia/reperfusion induced stroke model with type 2 diabetes. Ischemic outcomes, flow cytometry, multiplex cytokine assay, and western blotting were analyzed after 45 min of ischemia followed by 48 h of reperfusion. Our data indicated that RIPreC and RIPostC attenuated cerebral injuries and neurological deficits. RIPreC significantly reduced CD4 T cell and CD8 T cell infiltration and increas...

Non-coding RNAs in the regulation of blood –brain barrier functions in central nervous system disorders
AbstractThe blood –brain barrier (BBB) is an essential component of the neurovascular unit that controls the exchanges of various biological substances between the blood and the brain. BBB damage is a common feature of different central nervous systems (CNS) disorders and plays a vital role in the pathogenesis of t he diseases. Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), such as microRNAs (miRNAs), long non-coding RNA (lncRNAs), and circular RNAs (circRNAs), are important regulatory RNA molecules that are involved in almost all cellular processes in normal development and various diseases, including CNS diseases. Cumulative evi dences hav...

Substantial effects of apolipoprotein E ε4 on memory decline in very old age: longitudinal findings from a population-based sample
We examined associations between the apolipoprotein E (APOE) ε4 allele and levels of performance and rates of change in cognition in late life taking incident dementia into account. The sample consisted of 482 nondemented individuals, aged 80 years and older at baseline, drawn from the OCTO twin study. A battery of 10 cognitive tests was administered at 5 occasions with measurements intervals of 2 years. We fitted hierarchical linear models with time specified as time to death and controlled for baseline age, sex, education, stroke, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, diabetes, and incident dementia. The ε4 allele was ...

In Vivo Two-photon Fluorescence Microscopy Reveals Disturbed Cerebral Capillary Blood Flow and Increased Susceptibility to Ischemic Insults in Diabetic Mice.
CONCLUSION: Diabetic mice are more susceptible to disturbances of cerebral capillary blood flow which may predispose them to neurovascular defects following ischemia. PMID: 24712523 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Reduced expression of IA channels is associated with postischemic seizures in hyperglycemic rats
Poststroke seizures are considered to be the major cause of epilepsy in the elderly. The mechanisms of poststroke seizures remain unclear. A history of diabetes mellitus has been identified as an independent predictor of acute poststroke seizures in stroke patients. The present study sought to reveal the mechanisms for the development of postischemic seizures under hyperglycemic conditions. Transient forebrain ischemia was produced in adult Wistar rats by using the four‐vessel occlusion method. At the normal blood glucose level, seizures occurred in ∼50% of rats after 25 min of ischemia. However, in rats with hyperglyc...

Cerebral Thrombosis and Myeloproliferative Neoplasms
Abstract Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) are acquired clonal disorders characterized by the proliferation of bone marrow myeloid cells. Different somatic mutations have been recently associated with MPN, the most common being JAK-2 V617F. Among MPN, polycythemia vera and essential thrombocythemia are particularly associated with an increased risk to develop thrombotic complications, either arterial or venous. Cerebrovascular events (stroke and transient ischemic attacks) are prevalent, accounting for approximately two-thirds of all events. Also cerebral vein thrombosis can complicate MPN and can be the first m...

Risk of dementia in elderly patients with the use of proton pump inhibitors
Abstract Drugs that modify the risk of dementia in the elderly are of potential interest for dementia prevention. Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are widely used to reduce gastric acid production, but information on the risk of dementia is lacking. We assessed association between the use of PPIs and the risk of dementia in elderly people. Data were derived from a longitudinal, multicenter cohort study in elderly primary care patients, the German Study on Aging, Cognition and Dementia in Primary Care Patients (AgeCoDe), including 3,327 community-dwelling persons aged ≥75 years. From follow-up 1 to follow-up 4 (fol...

Type 2 diabetes reduces the proliferation and survival of oligodendrocyte progenitor cells in ishchemic white matter lesions
Publication date: 19 March 2015 Source:Neuroscience, Volume 289 Author(s): Y. Yatomi , R. Tanaka , Y. Shimada , K. Yamashiro , M. Liu , Y. Mitome-Mishima , N. Miyamoto , Y. Ueno , T. Urabe , N. Hattori Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a major risk factor for stroke and it exacerbates tissue damage after ischemic insult. Diabetes is one of the important causes of the progression of white matter lesion, however, the pathological mechanisms remain unclear. The present study evaluated the influences of type 2 DM on ischemic subcortical white matter injury and the recruitment of oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs) under chronic ...

Bilateral Uterine Artery Ligation (BUAL): Placental Insufficiency Causing Fetal Growth Restriction and Cerebral Palsy
Placental insufficiency is the leading cause of intrauterine growth restriction in the western world. The fetus, when exposed to a compromised environment, is vulnerable to a number of disorders later in life, as a consequence of the reduction in oxygen and nutrition during gestation and the resulting fetal growth restriction. These conditions include neurological disabilities such as cerebral palsy (CP), intellectual disability, epilepsy, and mental health issues in childhood (Autism and ADHD) and in later life (schizophrenia). Certainly, fetal growth restriction as a result of placental insufficiency has been strongly as...
