Objectives: The degeneration of dopaminergic (DA) neurons has emerged as a crucial pathological characteristic in Parkinson's disease (PD). To enrich the related knowledge, we aimed to explore the impact of the METTL14-TRAF6-cGASSTING axis in mitochondrial dysfunction and ferroptosis underlying DA neuron degeneration.

Methods: 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium ion (MPP) was used to treat DA neuron MN9D to develop the PD cell models.

Objective: This research was designed to ascertain the effect and mechanism of vinpocetine (VIN) and coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) combination on cognitive impairment induced by ionizing radiation (IR).

Methods: Cognitive impairment in mice was induced by 9-Gy IR, and they were intraperitoneally injected with VIN, CoQ10, or VIN + CoQ10. Then novel object recognition and Morris water maze tests were used to detect cognitive function.

Objective: This study aimed to explore the mechanism of Nobiletin attenuating Alzheimer's disease (AD) by inhibiting neuroinflammation.

Methods: The expression of inflammatory cytokines and HMGB-1 in serum of AD patients were examined. Microglia (MGs) were treated with different doses of Nobiletin before LPS and Nigericin induction.

Background: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a well-established surgical therapy for Parkinson's disease (PD). Intraoperative imaging (IMG), intraoperative physiology (PHY) and their combination (COMB) are the three mainstream DBS guidance methods.

Objective: To comprehensively compare the use of IMG-DBS, PHY-DBS and COMB-DBS in treating PD.

Background: Performed as one of the major treatments for advanced Parkinson's disease (PD), deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery can induce adverse effects (AEs) on cognition, gait, mood, speech and swallowing, which are frequently reported and seriously affect the patient's daily life.

Objective: To comprehensively analysis the adverse effect rates (AERs) of cognition, mood, gait, speech and swallowing after bilateral DBS in patients with PD.

Method: We performed a systematic search in PubMed, EMBASE and the Cochrane Library to collect all the articles reporting AEs after DBS in sufferers of PD.
