Article Synopsis
  • The study examines the effects of subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS) on motor and nonmotor symptoms in patients with Meige syndrome and looks into factors influencing long-term outcomes.
  • A cohort of 55 patients who underwent STN-DBS was analyzed over a mean follow-up of 62 months, showing significant improvements in motor scores and overall health without cognitive decline.
  • Factors affecting long-term motor performance included longer disease duration, older age at surgery, and smaller activated tissue volume in the STN, indicating these may negatively impact results.

Objective: To conduct a quantitative analysis of published studies on hematoma enlargement after intracerebral hemorrhage.

Methods: Studies on hematoma enlargement after cerebral hemorrhage were retrieved from the Web of Science database on June 30, 2023. Microsoft Excel, VOSviewer, and CiteSpace software were used for bibliometric analysis and visualization, focusing on the quantitative characteristics of the literature.

Aim: Glioblastoma (GBM) has been reported to be the most common high-grade primary malignant brain tumor in clinical practice and has a poor prognosis. O -methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) promoter methylation has been related to prolonged overall survival (OS) in GBM patients after temozolomide treatment.

Methods: Proteomics and metabolomics were combined to explore the dysregulated metabolites and possible protein expression alterations in white matter (control group), MGMT promoter unmethylated GBM (GBM group) or MGMT promoter methylation positive GBM (MGMT group).

Objective: This study investigates the extent of resection, duration of surgery, intraoperative blood loss, and postoperative complications in patients with high-grade glioma who received surgery with or without sodium fluorescein guidance.

Methods: A single-center retrospective cohort study was conducted on 112 patients who visited our department and underwent surgery between July 2017 and June 2022, with 61 in the fluorescein group and 51 in the non-fluorescein group. Baseline characteristics, intraoperative blood loss, surgery duration, resection extent, and postoperative complications were documented.

Article Synopsis
  • * Researchers identified AT7519, a second-generation CDK inhibitor, as a promising drug for GBM, showing significant reduction in cell viability and proliferation in various GBM cell lines.
  • * AT7519 works by disrupting key cell cycle phases and inducing cell death through multiple mechanisms, including apoptosis, suggesting it could be a viable treatment option for GBM patients.

Glioblastoma (GBM) patients present poor prognosis. Deubiquitination by deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs) is a critical process in cancer progression. Ubiquitin-specific proteases (USPs) constitute the largest sub-family of DUBs.

As a non-invasive, low-cost medical imaging technology, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has become an important tool for brain tumor diagnosis. Many scholars have carried out some related researches on MRI brain tumor segmentation based on deep convolutional neural networks, and have achieved good performance. However, due to the large spatial and structural variability of brain tumors and low image contrast, the segmentation of MRI brain tumors is challenging.

It has recently emerged the concept of "obesity paradox," a term used to describe an inverse association between obesity and clinical outcomes in cardiovascular diseases and stroke. The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between body mass index (BMI) and the risk of intracranial aneurysm rupture. In this study, we conducted a retrospective analysis of a prospectively maintained database of patients with intracranial aneurysms from 21 medical centers in China.
