Introduction: Primary intraventricular hemorrhage (PIVH) is a rare type of hemorrhagic stroke typically associated with vascular structural abnormalities. However, little is known about the epidemiology and etiology of PIVH caused by non-vascular structural abnormalities. In this study, we aimed to clarify the etiology, clinical characteristics, and prognosis of non-vascular structural-related intraventricular hemorrhage (NVSRIVH).

Acute hydrocephalus is a severe complication that may occur early after an intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). However, clinical factors predicting the occurrence of acute hydrocephalus have rarely been studied. This study aimed to establish a nomogram model to predict early acute hydrocephalus after ICH.

External ventricular drainage (EVD) is the routine intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) treatment. Neurological deterioration and symptomatic hydrocephalus are often the default indications for EVD insertion. However, the outcome of preventive EVD is unclear in patients with mild IVH.

Objective: To compare the predictive value of different risk assessment methods for puerperium venous thromboembolism (VTE).

Methods: This study included 55 women with and 165 women without puerperal VTE. Using the cases, 11 assessment methods were compared.

Introduction: Total resection of cystic craniopharyngiomas is challenging, especially for some large cystic tumors, because it is often associated with high recurrence and morbidity rates. Minimally invasive cyst decompression and continuous drainage are appropriate to manage clinical symptoms. We reviewed our experience of the past 11 years to determine the long-term effects of neuroendoscopic surgery (NES) combined with Ommaya reservoir (OR) for the treatment of cystic craniopharyngiomas.

The basidiomycetous yeast () is an excellent producer for neutral lipids, including triacylglycerols (TAG). Partially because genetic tools for this yeast were less developed, limited efforts were shown to explore its capacity for the production of higher-value lipids such as diacylglycerols (DAG). Here, four genes linked to the interconversion between DAG and TAG were manipulated to promote the production of DAG and free fatty acids (FFA).

B cells play a role in the progression of multiple sclerosis (MS) and are closely related to Fc-receptor like-3 (FCRL3), but little is known about FCRL3 in B cells and MS. Activation of TLR9 in B cells with CpG found that CpG promoted FCRL3 expression in a dose- and time-dependent manner. CpG significantly activated ERK1/2, p38, and STAT3 pathways, and FCRL3 overexpression further promoted the activation of these pathways, while FCRL3 siRNA significantly inhibited the activation of these pathways by CpG.

Pure intrasellar meningioma is an extremely rare tumor that is difficult to diagnose as it resembles a pituitary adenoma in its clinical, endocrinologic, and radiologic presentation; it can only be distinguished through histopathologic examination. All previously reported cases of this lesion were considered those of pituitary adenoma at the initial diagnosis. This poses major challenges in clinical diagnosis.

The basidiomycetous yeast Rhodosporidium toruloides is an important chassis organism for producing microbial lipids and terpenoids. However, excess carbon flux flows towards lipid synthesis than terpenoid synthesis. Thus, it is essential to limit lipid accumulation so that R.

Pediatric craniopharyngioma is typically characterized by cystic changes and calcifications. It can grow from the suprasellar area to the posterior fossa (4%). This work reports that it is very rare for craniopharyngioma to grow from the suprasellar area to or beyond the level of the foramen magnum.

Mitochondria are semi-autonomous organelles with their own genome and crucial to cellular material and energy metabolism. Here, we report the complete mitochondrial genome of a lipid-producing basidiomycetous yeast Rhodotorula toruloides NP11. The mitochondrial genome of R.

Background: Selenium is an essential trace element that is critical for many biological processes. Selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) have shown more promise than other forms of selenium due to their low cytotoxicity and high bioavailability.

Methods: In this work, a one-step method was demonstrated for fabricating bovine serum albumin (BSA) stabilized SeNPs using ascorbic acid as the reductant.

The aims of present study were to investigate the association between balanced time perspective (BTP) and trait anxiety, and the neural substrates underlying this association using voxel-based morphometry (VBM) and resting-state functional connectivity (RSFC) methods. 140 college students (83 females) ranging in age from 17 to 25 years were assessed on deviation from the balanced time perspective (DBTP) and trait anxiety. Behavioral analyses found BTP could significantly predict trait anxiety after controlling age and gender.

Objective: To explore the methods of isolation, culture and identification of brain tumor stem cells (BTSCs) in neuroepithelial tumor tissues in vitro, and to study the correlation between BTSCs and the patholorical grades of neuroepithelial tumors.

Methods: Tumor cells from patients undergoing neuroepithelial tumors excision were acutely dissociated, triturated into single cells, and then seeded into serum-free medium. After the primary brain tumor spheres (BTSs) were generated, they were triturated again and passaged in fresh medium.
