Vascular adhesion protein-1 (VAP-1) in vascular inflammatory diseases
Vasa. 2022 Oct 6. doi: 10.1024/0301-1526/a001031. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACT Vascular adhesion protein-1 (VAP-1) also known as amino oxidase copper containing 3 (AOC3) is a pro-inflammatory and versatile molecule with adhesive and enzymatic properties. VAP-1 is a primary amine oxidase belonging to the semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase (SSAO) family, which catalyzes the oxidation of primary amines leading to the production of ammonium, formaldehyde, methylglyoxal, and hydrogen peroxide. VAP-1 is mainly expressed by endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells, adipocytes and pericytes. It is involved in a repertoire of bi...

Case report: Cryptogenic giant brain abscess caused by Providencia rettgeri mimicking stroke and tumor in a patient with impaired immunity
We present the case of a cryptogenic Providencia rettgeri brain abscess and analyze the clinical manifestations, imaging findings, treatment, and outcome to improve the level of awareness, aid in accurate diagnosis, and highlight effective clinical management. A 39-year-old man was admitted to the hospital after experiencing acute speech and consciousness disorder for 1 day. The patient had a medical history of nephrotic syndrome and membranous nephropathy requiring immunosuppressant therapy. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed giant, space-occupying lesions involving the brain stem, basal ganglia, and temporal-parietal lo...

Tracers progress for positron emission tomography imaging of glial-related disease
J Biomed Res. 2022 Jun 28:1-15. doi: 10.7555/JBR.36.20220017. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTGlial cells play an essential part in the neuron system. They can not only serve as structural blocks in the human brain but also participate in many biological processes. Extensive studies have shown that astrocytes and microglia play an important role in neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, as well as glioma, epilepsy, ischemic stroke, and infections. Positron emission tomography is a functional imaging technique providing molecular-level information before anatomic ch...

What Causes Sudden Vision Loss?
Discussion Vision loss, whether chronic or acute, is distressing at any time for patients and families. Prompt evaluation and treatment are important as maintenance of any acuity and light or movement is considered paramount. Most vision loss is due to chronic problems and aging issues but the differential diagnosis is broad. For any age, but especially children, uncorrected refractive errors can cause problems in not only in childhood but throughout someone’s lifetime. Visual impairment for distance vision is considered mild if worse than 6/12 in meters = 20/40 in feet or 0.3 LogMAR and for moderate impairment is 6/...

Diffuse low-grade glioma misdiagnosed as acute cerebral infarction: A case report
We report a case of DLGG detected by computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Patient concerns: A 58-year-old man suddenly phantom smells for half an hour and was previously healthy. Diagnoses: Computed tomography findings showed a leaf-shaped slightly hypodense shadow in the right temporal lobe with no obvious mass effect and an unclear boundary. MRI findings showed diffuse and slightly longer T1-weighted imaging (T1WI)/T2-weighted imaging (T2WI)signal in the right temporal lobe and hippocampus, slight hyperintensity on diffusion-weighted imaging, diffuse swelling in the right temporal lobe ...

Acute ischemic stroke secondary to ventriculoperitoneal shunt dysfunction in a child with Moyamoya syndrome
CONCLUSION: Children who receive RT for brain tumor, particularly if the circle of Willis region is involved, require close surveillance for the development of vasculopathy and consequent stroke. This surveillance must be even tighter if the patient has been treated with ventricular shunt for the possible synergistic interaction between the two causes on reducing cerebral perfusion and increasing the risk of acute ischemic events.PMID:35928308 | PMC:PMC9345112 | DOI:10.25259/SNI_434_2022
