Article Synopsis
- - The study analyzed 94 patients with acute ischemic stroke to determine how serum inflammatory factors, specifically IL-6 and TNF-α, impact prognosis after revascularization therapy.
- - Patients were divided into good (mRS ≤ 2) and poor (mRS > 2) prognosis groups, with those in the good prognosis group showing lower levels of inflammatory markers and better clinical scores at admission.
- - The findings suggest IL-6 and TNF-α could be useful indicators for predicting recovery outcomes in stroke patients post-treatment, indicating that those with higher levels may have worse prognoses.
Background: This study aimed to explore the relationship between serum netrin-1 expression levels and acute prognosis in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) within 24 hours after revascularization.
Methods: A total of 121 revascularized patients admitted to the Jinshan Branch of the Shanghai Sixth People's Hospital, China, between July 2019 and July 2021 were selected as study subjects. The primary outcome was the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score three months after revascularization: patients with an mRS score >2 were classified into the unfavorable prognosis group and others into the favorable prognosis group.
This study aimed to investigate the relationship between clinicopathological characteristics of atypical meningiomas (AM) and its post-operative recurrence. The clinicopathological characteristics and findings from follow up were retrospectively reviewed and compared between AM and benign meningioma (BM) patients. Univariate and multivariate analyses were employed to identify the factors related to the post-operative recurrence of AM.

- Extraaxial lymphoma can mimic trigeminal schwannoma, leading to misdiagnosis and incorrect surgical treatment, as seen in two cases involving the trigeminal nerve.
- The first patient experienced facial pain and was wrongly diagnosed with trigeminal neuralgia, while the second had a known lymphoma and also presented with facial pain.
- Histopathological examinations confirmed both cases were diffuse large B cell lymphoma, highlighting the importance of considering lymphoma in trigeminal region lesions and the necessity of surgical biopsy for accurate diagnosis.
Article Synopsis
- * Ponericin W1 effectively inhibited growth of multiple fungi and bacteria that affect plants, suggesting its potential as a disease-resistant trait.
- * Transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana expressing Ponericin W1 displayed significantly less pathogen presence compared to wild-type, highlighting its ability to enhance plant disease resistance.
A gene encoding a coproporphyrinogen III oxidase mediates disease resistance in plants by the salicylic acid pathway. A number of genes that regulate powdery mildew resistance have been identified in Arabidopsis, such as ENHANCED DISEASE RESISTANCE 1 to 3 (EDR1 to 3). To further study the molecular interactions between the powdery mildew pathogen and Arabidopsis, we isolated and characterized a mutant that exhibited enhanced resistance to powdery mildew.
