Cerebral sparganosis in mainland Chinese patients.
Cerebral sparganosis is a severe parasitic infection caused by the larvae of Spirometra mansoni. We retrospectively reviewed the clinical data of 26 patients with cerebral sparganosis diagnosed in our center and reviewed the literature on cerebral sparganosis in mainland China. Among our 26 patients, 20 suffered from seizures, 11 had limb weakness and 11… (More)
Early response of endogenous adult neural progenitor cells to acute spinal cord injury in mice.
Adult neural progenitor cells (NPCs) are an attractive source for functional replacement in neurodegenerative diseases and traumatic injury to the central nervous system (CNS). It has been shown that transplantation of neural stem cells or NPCs into the lesioned region partially restores CNS function. However, the capacity of endogenous NPCs in replacement… (More)
Alterations in regional functional coherence within the sensory-motor network in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
Alteration of brain activity synchrony has been shown in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) using seed-based functional connectivity analysis. However, regional activity synchrony has not been characterized in ALS. The purpose of this study was to assess regional brain synchrony by calculating regional data coherence of resting state functional MRI… (More)
Domoic acid induced spinal cord lesions in adult mice: evidence for the possible molecular pathways of excitatory amino acids in spinal cord lesions.
Domoic acid (DA) is an excitatory amino acids (EAAs) analog which induced excitotoxicity lesion to central nervous system, but whether induced adult animal spinal cord is not known, furthermore, previous studies have shown that EAAs play an important role in spinal cord lesion, however, the molecular pathways in spinal cord lesion are not fully known.… (More)
Genome-wide association study combining pathway analysis for typical sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis in Chinese Han populations.
Sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (sALS) is a severe neurodegenerative disease that causes progressive motor neuron death. Although the etiology of sALS remains unknown, genetic variants are thought to predispose individuals to the disease. Several recent genome-wide association studies have identified a number of loci that increase sALS… (More)
An astrocyte regenerative response from vimentin-containing cells in the spinal cord of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis's disease-like transgenic (G93A SOD1) mice.
The reason for regeneration in the adult spinal cord during motor neuron degeneration in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) remains largely unknown. To this end, we studied the alteration of vimentin (a neural precursor cells marker in CNS)-containing cells (VCCs) in spinal cord during different stages of ALS used C57BL/6J G93A SOD1 transgenic mice… (More)
The Possible Damaged Mechanism and the Preventive Effect of Monosialotetrahexosylganglioside in a Rat Model of Cerebral Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury.
BACKGROUND The pathogenesis of cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury (CIRI) is not completely clear and therapies are limited now. Therefore, our study aimed to investigate the possible pathogenesis and preventive approach of CIRI through analyzing changes of aspartate (Asp), glutamate (Glu), mitochondrial calcium (MCa), calmodulin (CaM), and malondialdehyde… (More)
Diabetes alters the expression of partial vasoactivators in cerebral vascular disease susceptible regions of the diabetic rat
BACKGROUND The pathogenesis between cerebral vascular disease (CVD) and the endothelial dysfunction (ETD) remains elusive in diabetes. Therefore, we investigated the expression of partial vasoactivators which be closely relative to ETD in CVD susceptible brain regions in the diabetic rat. The aim was to search some possible pathogenesis. METHODS Diabetes… (More)
Linking hypoxic and oxidative insults to cell death mechanisms in models of ALS.
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease that is characterized by a progressive, selective loss of motor neurons (MN) in brain and spinal cord. The mechanisms of selective and age-dependent MN degeneration in ALS have not been defined. Recent studies suggest that the elevation of intracellular oxidative toxicity contributes… (More)
Nestin-positive cells in the spinal cord: a potential source of neural stem cells.
Some literatures have reported neural precursor cells (NPCs) exist in spinal cord of adult mammal, however, the NPCs distribution feature in spinal cord of adult mice so far is not described in detail. In order to observe and compare the distribution feature of NPCs in various spinal cord regions of adult mice, to research a potential source of neural stem… (More)
