Multiple Mechanistic Models Reveal the Neuroprotective Effects of Diterpene Ginkgolides against Astrocyte-Mediated Demyelination via the PAF-PAFR Pathway
Am J Chin Med. 2022 Jul 29:1-33. doi: 10.1142/S0192415X22500665. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCurrently, therapies for ischemic stroke are limited. Ginkgolides, unique Folium Ginkgo components, have potential benefits for ischemic stroke patients, but there is little evidence that ginkgolides improve neurological function in these patients. Clinical studies have confirmed the neurological improvement efficacy of diterpene ginkgolides meglumine injection (DGMI), an extract of Ginkgo biloba containing ginkgolides A (GA), B (GB), and K (GK), in ischemic stroke patients. In the present study, we performed transcriptome analys...

Nitrone-based Therapeutics for Neurodegenerative Diseases. Their use alone or in Combination with Lanthionines.
Abstract The possibility of free radical reactions occurring in biological processes led to the development and employment of novel methods and techniques focused on determining their existence and importance in normal and pathological conditions. For this reason the use of Nitrones for spin trapping free radicals came into widespread use in the 1970s and 1980s when surprisingly the first evidence of their potent biological properties was first noted. Since then wide-spread exploration and demonstration of the potent biological properties of phenyl-tert-butylnitrone (PBN) and derivatives were shown in preclinical ...

Hotspots of small strokes in glioma surgery: an overlooked risk?
ConclusionDeep small infarcts are commonly found after glioma surgery, but their actual impact in terms of patients ’ quality of life remains to be demonstrated. Further studies are needed to better evaluate the cognitive consequences—if any—for each of the described hotspots and to identify risk factors other than the surgery-induced damage of microvessels.

Clinical application of perfusion computed tomography in neurosurgery.
Conclusions Perfusion CT provides quantitative and qualitative data that can add diagnostic and prognostic value in a number of neurosurgical disorders, and also help with clinical decision making. With emerging new technical developments in PCT, such as characterization of blood-brain barrier permeability and whole-brain PCT, this technique is expected to provide more and more insight into the pathophysiology of many neurosurgical conditions.

Membrane‐type 1 metalloproteinase is upregulated in microglia/brain macrophages in neurodegenerative and neuroinflammatory diseases
We previously reported that glioma cells induce the expression of membrane‐type 1 metalloproteinase (MT1‐MMP or MMP‐14) in tumor‐associated microglia/macrophages and promote tumor growth, whereas MMP‐14 expression in microglia under physiological conditions is very low. Here, we show that the increase in MMP‐14 expression is also found in microglia/macrophages associated with neurodegenerative and neuroinflammatory pathologies in mouse models as well as in human biopsies or post‐mortem tissue. We found that microglial/macrophage MMP‐14 expression was upregulated in Alzheimer's disease tissue, in active lesi...

Chapter 15 Vascular complications in glioma patients
Publication date: 2016 Source:Handbook of Clinical Neurology, Volume 134 Author(s): Emilie Le Rhun, James R. Perry Vascular complications in patients with glioma most commonly include venous and arterial thromboembolism; however, treatment-induced vasculopathies are also problematic, especially in long-term survivors. The interactions between treatment such as radiation and chemotherapy, the coagulation cascade, endothelium, and regulators of angiogenesis are complex, drive glioma growth and invasion, and create common management problems in the clinic. We review the incidence of thrombotic complications in glioma, the...

Ntox-08. safety of intra-arterial chemotherapy in the treatment of brain tumours
The treatment of brain tumors is greatly limited the delivery impediment caused by the blood-brain barrier and blood-tumor barrier. To circumvent this limitation, different approaches have been studied, including intra-arterial delivery. Because of a significant local increase in plasma-peak concentration, this strategy increases the local area under the curve, and translates into a 3 to 5.5 fold increase in intra-tumoral chemotherapy concentration. However, intra-arterial chemotherapy in the treatment of brain tumors has a notoriously bad name, thanks to prior trials led in past decades showing significant neurotoxicities...

Surg-38. direct evidence of plasticity within primary motor and sensory cortices via direct electrical stimulation in glioblastoma patients undergoing repeat awake craniotomy
In this study, we examine plasticity within primary sensory (S1) and motor (M1) cortices in glioblastoma patients undergoing repeat intra-operative direct electrical stimulation (DES) under awake conditions.METHODS:This retrospective analysis included five patients with glioblastoma in/near M1/S1 that underwent two awake surgeries, each with DES-based sensory and motor mapping. Inter-surgery interval was 216 ± 41 days. Plasticity was defined as a change in mapping result (gain, loss, or change of function) within M1/S1 at second operation or absence of typical mapping result without a change in the patient&rsqu...

Early Prophylactic Hypothermia for Patients With Severe Traumatic Injury: Premature to Close the Case
This study demonstrates that there is no role for the initiation of hypothermia during the acute phase of TBI (1, 2). However, it would be damaging to abandon the concept prematurely. Inflammation Also Paves the Way to Tissue Repair As soon as trauma occurs, the inflammatory cascade begins to take place. The deleterious role of inflammation in the secondary injury response is well-documented, hence the rationale to attempt early prophylactic hypothermia in TBI. However, inflammation also initiates tissue repair and regeneration (3–6). We now know that the secondary injury response accompanies the regenerating and...
