Article Synopsis
- Neuroinflammation is a key issue after spinal cord injury (SCI), hindering recovery, and this study assessed the impact of short-term etizolam (ETZ) treatment on inflammation and behavior in mice post-SCI.
- Mice received daily ETZ injections for seven days, and results showed that those in the ETZ group had significantly lower inflammatory cytokine levels in the spinal cord compared to the saline group.
- While ETZ reduced neuroinflammation and improved locomotor function, it did not appear to affect anxiety-like behaviors or sensory functions compared to the saline group.
[Evaluation of Intra-abdominal fat distribution using X-ray CT data for detection of rectal cancer].

To develop a novel method of detecting rectal cancer, we assessed relationships between intra-abdominal fat distribution and rectal cancer in Japanese patients. Subjects comprised 38 patients with rectal cancer apparent on CT-colonography and 110 other cases. The intra-abdominal fat area was determined by calculating pixel distribution with attenuation values from -140 HU to -40 HU.
