Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a significant global health concern that often results in death or disability, and effective pharmacological treatments are lacking. G protein-coupled receptor 56 (GPR56), a potential drug target, is crucial for neuronal and glial cell function and therefore plays important roles in various neurological diseases. Here, we investigated the potential role and mechanism of GPR56 in TBI-related damage to gain new insights into the pharmacological treatment of TBI.

Sleep disorders (SD) are common sequelae following traumatic brain injury (TBI) and may be linked to mitochondrial oxidative stress dysregulation after TBI. Increasing evidence showed that circRNAs play crucial roles in nervous system diseases. However, the involvement of circRNAs in sleep disturbances after TBI is not characterized.

Purpose: This study aimed to explore the association and causal links between sex steroid hormones and the anti-aging protein α-Klotho, extending to investigate the mediation effects of potential mediators.

Methods: Based on data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2013-2016, this study performed weighted multivariable-adjusted logistic regression to evaluate the association between sex steroid hormones and α-Klotho. Then, utilizing summary data from genome-wide association studies (GWAS), a bidirectional two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) was conducted to assess the causal relationship between sex steroid hormones and α-Klotho.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common malignant tumors, characterized by high incidence and mortality rates. Due to its insidious onset, most patients are diagnosed at an advanced stage, often missing the opportunity for surgical resection. Consequently, systemic treatments play a pivotal role.

Article Synopsis
  • * A multicenter, randomized, double-blind clinical trial involving 590 TBI patients will compare the effects of l-oxiracetam, oxiracetam, and a placebo over a 14-day treatment period, followed by 90 days of observation.
  • * Preliminary results indicate a lack of strong evidence supporting the cognitive-enhancing effects of these drugs on TBI patients, highlighting the importance of this research in addressing a significant clinical question.

The purpose of this study is to explore the shared molecular pathogenesis of traumatic brain injury (TBI) and high-grade glioma and investigate the mechanism of propofol (PF) as a potential protective agent. By analyzing the Chinese glioma genome atlas (CGGA) and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) databases, we compared the transcriptomic data of high-grade glioma and TBI patients to identify common pathological mechanisms. Through bioinformatics analysis, in vitro experiments and in vivo TBI model, we investigated the regulatory effect of PF on extracellular matrix (ECM)-related genes through Prrx1 under oxidative stress.

Depression frequently occurs following traumatic brain injury (TBI). However, the role of Fibromodulin (FMOD) in TBI-related depression is not yet clear. Previous studies have suggested FMOD as a potential key factor in TBI, yet its association with depression post-TBI and underlying mechanisms are not well understood.

Purpose: To develop and validate a prediction model based on imaging data for the prognosis of mild chronic subdural hematoma undergoing atorvastatin treatment.

Methods: We developed the prediction model utilizing data from patients diagnosed with CSDH between February 2019 and November 2021. Demographic characteristics, medical history, and hematoma characteristics in non-contrast computed tomography (NCCT) were extracted upon admission to the hospital.

Aim: We aim to identify the specific CD4 T-cell subtype influenced by brain-to-CLN signaling and explore their role during the acute phase of traumatic brain injury (TBI).

Method: Cervical lymphadenectomy or cervical afferent lymphatic ligation was performed before TBI. Cytokine array and western blot were used to detect cytokines, while the motor function was assessed using mNss and rotarod test.

Subdural hematoma (SDH) drains into the extracranial lymphatic system through the meningeal lymphatic vessels (mLVs) but the formation of SDH impairs mLVs. Because vitamin D (Vit D) can protect the endothelial cells, we hypothesized that Vit D may enhance the SDH clearance. SDH was induced in Sprague-Dawley rats and treated with Vit D or vehicle.

: Meningeal lymphatic vessels (MLVs) are essential for the clearance of subdural hematoma (SDH). However, SDH impairs their drainage function, and the pathogenesis remains unclear. Herein, we aimed to understand the pathological mechanisms of MLV dysfunction following SDH and to test whether atorvastatin, an effective drug for SDH clearance, improves meningeal lymphatic drainage (MLD).

Background And Objectives: The focus on evidence-based neurosurgery has led to a considerable amount of neurosurgical evidence based on randomized controlled trials (RCTs) being published. Nevertheless, there has been no systematic appraisal of China's contribution to RCTs. Information about the changes in characteristics of Chinese neurosurgical RCTs before and during the COVID-19 pandemic is limited.

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is usually considered a psychiatric disorder upon emotional trauma. However, with the rising number of conflicts and traffic accidents around the world, the incidence of PTSD has skyrocketed along with traumatic brain injury (TBI), a complex neuropathological disease due to external physical force and is also the most common concurrent disease of PTSD. Recently, the overlap between PTSD and TBI is increasingly attracting attention, as it has the potential to stimulate the emergence of novel treatments for both conditions.
